Civil War will come to life in historical society program Tuesday

Say hello to P.A.W.S. With the help of Plainville Police Department employees, a local group has formed with the aim of keeping animals in town safe and healthy. The non-profit is called Plainville Partners of the Animals Welfare Society — or simply, P.A.W.S. The Plainville P.D. laid out the organization’s mission in See P.A.W.S., A5

The Plainville Historical Society is excited to announce its first program of the year. On Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m., Kevin Johnson from the State Library's History and Genealogy Unit will portray William Webb, an African-American Civil War soldier from Connecticut. A native of Hartford, Webb served in the 29th (Colored) Regiment of Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. Johnson's presentation is told from an exciting firstperson perspective that illustrates the struggle of AfricanAmericans serving in the infantry. He tells of Webb's early life, recruitment and training,

and the traumatic final battles of the Civil War. The presentation is based on extensive research using collections at the State Library and Museum of Connecticut History. The event will take place in the second-floor meeting room at the Plainville Historic Center, 29 Pierce St. Elevator access is available. Seating is limited, so if you’d like to attend, send an email to plvhistorical@gmail.com. Include your name, phone number and the number of people in your party.

State GOP claims victory, sees momentum for 2022

They include gaining control of local town councils, as in Montville; defeating incumbent Democrats, like in Windsor Locks; and winning open seats previously held by a Democrat, as in Bethlehem. Republicans are hoping this year’s local victories will finally translate into success in next year’s general election. That’s when the governor, other statewide offices and legislative seats are up for grabs.

“Yes, we did lose some. But it’s local elections and I don’t think they make any comparison to the state or the national (elections),” she said.

“I think all politics is local and every race is its own race. I mean, we have seen this over and over, again and again. A day is a lifetime in politics and the 2022 election is a long way off,” DiFormer Gov. M. Jodi Rell and Nardo said. “Granted there Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele, who were some flipped seats in some Republican-leaning left office in 2011, were the towns, but Republicans have last Republicans to hold always controlled more of statewide office, while the Democrats have maintained the municipalities than the Democrats have.” control of the General Assembly for years.

Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont, who has yet to announce whether he’ll seek a second term, took the GOP wins in stride, downplaying any possible ramifications for 2022.

Two of his potential Republican opponents, however, see the local election results as a positive sign for the GOP.

Former House Minority Leader Themis Klarides wrote in a message posted on Twitter that she was “encouraged: by the GOP’s showing. “Now, more than ever,” she wrote, “the people of Connecticut have made it clear they want a new direction for our state.”

THERE IS STILL TIME TO PAVE YOUR DRIVEWAY

“Here in the state some towns went blue, some towns went red. A lot of those were very local in terms of what’s going on, town by town,” he told reporters. “I think we’re fine. I think Connecticut feels like they’re in a pretty good place right now. We’re doing well in terms of jobs, doing well financially and most importantly doing well in terms of COVID.”

Bob Stefanowski, who unsuccessfully ran against Lamont in 2018, tweeted how voters’ concerns were “validated” at the polls. He wrote: “Residents want to feel safe. They want a say in their kid’s education. They want lower taxes,” adding how the state Republicans “can bring it back home!”

GOP leaders listed more than 20 successful “flips” from around the state following this year’s election.

Nancy DiNardo, chair of the Connecticut Democrats contends there’s a big difference between winning a seat on a local planning and zoning commission and winning statewide office, which brings out a much larger number of voters.

A state that’s often viewed as reliably blue appeared more purple after Connecticut Republicans won seats in traditionally Democratic communities on Nov. 2, often with a pro-parent and tough-oncrime message that seemed to resonate with some voters.

Eversource: Expect higher winter bills The driving factors include an increase in global demand during the ongoing economic recovery and a significant drop in U.S. gas supply due to a number of issues including the pandemic and extreme weather in gas-producing states. In November, the average Eversource natural gas resi-

dential heating customer could see a 14%, or $30, increase on their total bill as compared to their average monthly winter heating bill in 2020. Because the Purchased Gas Adjustment (PGA) rate is adjusted monthly, customers can expect to see incremental changes throughout the heating season. The increasing cost of natural gas will also impact the cost of electricity. The cost of electricity changes twice a year in Connecticut for Eversource customers. Eversource filed new cost of electricity rates applicable to customer bills beginning Jan. 1, 2022. Eversource and other utilities do not earn a profit on the cost

of electricity in Connecticut and charge customers only what the company pays generators for electricity. The cost of electricity will likely rise beginning on Jan. 1. Eversource wants customers to know it is critically important for them to take action now. “With supply constraints, extreme weather and other challenges related to the pandemic driving up natural gas prices across the globe, our customers do have options to better manage their own energy use and to help pay their energy bills,” said Eversource Executive Vice President, Customer Experience and Energy Strategy Penni Conner. “Connecticut's assistance programs

R225906v2

With global demand for natural gas soaring, gas and electricity prices for the upcoming winter heating season are on the rise. After hitting 10-year lows during the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of natural gas has risen significantly – impacting customers nationwide and across the globe.

are some of the best in the country and we urge customers to take advantage of options like UniteCT and COVID-19 payment plans while those options are still available.” Customers are urged to prepare now for higher-thannormal winter bills by taking advantage of programs like Connecticut’s UniteCT and Eversource’s energy efficiency solutions and payment plan options. Customers can learn more about payment programs and enroll online at Eversource.com/BillHelp. Information on energy efficiency programs is available at Eversource.com. — Press Release

“Our Town Council candidates will continue to support thrifty spending, and our BOE candidates, with over 23 years experience raising children in our school system, will remain focused on the safety and stability of our children during COVID-19,” she stated in a Letter to the Editor.

In the race for Town Council, Republican incumbents were the top vote-getters: David Underwood (1,974), Kathy Pugliese (1,961) and Deborah Tompkins (1,862). Republican councilor Jacob Rocco (1,771) earned reelection, as well.

In the race for Board of Education, Republican newcomers were the top vote-getters: Rachel Buchanan (1,893), Lori Consalvo (1,852) and Cassandra Clark (1,851).

Joining Underwood, Pugliese, Tompkins and Rocco on the board will be fellow Republican Joseph Catanzaro, who garnered 1,831 votes.

Democratic incumbent Becky Tyrell (1,720) maintained her seat on the ninemember BOE, but Democrat Brent Davenport (1,658) lost his bid for relection.

Coats For Connecticut drive ends Nov. 12 There is still time to contribute to Best Cleaners’ 13th annual Coats For Connecticut campaign.

Children’s coats in all sizes are a bigger need this year. All donated coats will be cleaned and delivered to centralized Salvation Army drop sites where volunteers will sort the coats for distribution directly to those in need.

The public is urged to go through their closets; gather up coats that are in good condition but no longer needed; and drop them off at any one of Best’s 14 locations through Friday, Nov. 12.

The Coats For Connecticut program was started by Best

Cleaners in 2008 with the primary goal of putting its eco-friendly services to work to help those in need get through the cold winter months. Since the campaign’s inception, more than 129,000 coats have been collected, cleaned and delivered. In pre-pandemic years,

schools, churches, and businesses would conduct their own coat drives and drop off their donations to Best. With many social-distance protocols still in place and more people working from home this year, groups that have cancelled collections are asked to get the word out that coat donations can be dropped off directly at Best

We are offering a limited time period for those who owe taxes to get right. Those who don’t

resolve their tax obligations by Jan. 31 will be subject to penalties and paying full interest, and could also face criminal prosecution.”
