The election’s over, but not the fighting By Nadya Korytnikova The Citizen

On the morning of the Nov. 3 election, the United States Postal Service disclosed that more than 300,000 mail-in ballots nationwide had not been scanned. Many on social media were rightfully alarmed by this news, believing it meant the ballots had gone missing. But did they? “The assumption that there are unaccounted ballots within the Postal Service network is inaccurate,” the USPS said in a press release. “These ballots were deliv-

ered in advance of the election deadlines. We employed extraordinary measures to deliver ballots directly to local boards of elections. When this occurs, by design, these ballots bypass certain processing operations and do not receive a final scan. Instead, they are expedited directly to the boards of elections.” Rumors regarding mail-in ballots have swirled since that voting option propelled Joe Biden to victory over Donald Trump.

Festive display benefits pantry Plainville resident Joshua Brunelle and his mother used to decorate together, so when she passed away in 2011, Brunelle wanted to continue the tradition in her memory. Over the years, the display grew.

While the 2020 election is over, for many in our deeply polarized country, bitter feelings remain. Pictured: Durham resident Tracy Ogrodnik said two of her Donald Trump signs were vandalized in the lead-up to the Nov. 3 election.

“I started with my little shed in the backyard and then I figured after a couple of years, to let people see it more, I’ll move it to the front,” said Brunelle, who lives at 15 Hillcrest Road. “After that, years and years of just getting stuff, acquiring stuff, it has grown to be a huge show now.”

Brunelle said this year his Christmas display is multi-media. “So it’s all run off a computer and you tune into the radio station, 92.9, and you actually could watch it, listen to the radio from a car and the music goes to the lights,” he said. Brunelle is also collecting non-perishable items for the Plainville food pantry in a box at the end of his driveway. He also has a mailbox for letters to Santa Claus. — Record-Journal report

Drivers that become stuck in snow or ice are reminded to stay with their vehicle and draw attention by tying a brightly colored cloth to their antenna.

As the first day of winter approaches, police and travel officials remind residents to stay safe when they hit the roads.

Vehicle safety in winter Frank Mayko, spokeswoman for AAA Northeast, said they advise drivers to go slow and increase following distances during winter weather.

Southington Police Lt. Keith Egan said residents should make sure their vehicles are serviced, have good tires, windshield wipers and windshield washer. He noted keeping supplies to keep you warm in the vehicle is a good idea in case you get stuck or break down.

Wallingford Police Lt. Cheryl Bradley said police want to remind residents that even in early winter wet roads have the potential to ice over night.

She said violators put other drivers at risk and face a $120 fine. 236564

“What may look like wet roads could actually be iced over in areas,” Bradley said. “After a snowfall, it is state law that all snow needs to be removed from the hood, roof and trunk of vehicles before operation.”

“Overall, we want motorists to be safe at all times,” Bradley said. “The beginning of the winter season is often an adjustment period for operators until they get used to driving in snow and ice again. This is especially true for newly licensed operators who lack the experience.”

Durkee said based on the last three months data, reports of accidents, motor vehicle related arrests and warnings are all down from this time last year. “We (AAA Northeast which covers Litchfield, Fairfield and New Haven Counties) have seen an increase in the number of battery-related calls since the start of the pandemic,” Mayko said in an

email last week. “... we have seen an increase in the number of jump starts and battery replacements because people simply aren’t using their cars for extended commutes, local errands or holiday travel.” Mayko said during the pandemic they have received triple the normal dead battery calls. lsellew@record-journal.com

Differences this year Bradley said that since the pandemic began in March reckless speeding seems to have decreased. Officers are still making drunk driving arrests even with bars and restaurants having limited hours and capacity limits. “… With the reduced traffic on the roadways we have seen a reduction in motor vehicle crashes,” Egan said of the recent data. “We have also had a decrease in the number of violations overall.”

State electors cast all 7 votes for Biden and Harris By Susan Haigh Associated Press

HARTFORD (AP) — All seven of Connecticut’s electors cast their ballots Monday for Democratic President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris in an unusual, socially distanced ceremony at the state Capitol that some electors called an honor of a lifetime, especially during these politically turbulent times. “I am positively thrilled. I have to tell you that this is the most exciting day of my life,” said John Kalamarides, a former chairman of the Wilton Democratic Town Committee. He added it was “disturbing” to see Republican President Donald Trump and his supporters question the validity of the election. “It’s extraordinarily scary stuff. And democracy is so fragile,” he said.

Connecticut’s seven members sat far apart in seats normally reserved for state senators instead of at a table in the center of the room. All the electors wore masks and one wore a face shield and gloves. Ninety-four-year old William Smith, a longtime member of the Democratic Party in Hartford, wore a mask that read “VOTE.” Smith said he considers this “the most monumental election we’ve ever had” in the U.S., noting it was a particular honor as a Black man to cast his ballot for Harris, the first person of color and the first woman elected vice president.

“That’s a long way from the slave ship,” he said. There was no pomp and circumstance this year, including no color guard. The Pledge of Allegiance, national anthem and invocation were all pre-taped and shown on a large screen set up in the Senate chamber. It was broadcast live on TV and online. Only about 20 people were inside the Senate chamber as the chair, Susan Barrett, a former state representative and state Democratic party leader, read the words, “The electors

have chosen Joseph R. Biden Jr. for the Office of President of the United States.” The other electors included Dana Barcellos-Allen of Avon, Myrna Watanabe of Harwinton, Anthony Attanasio of Niantic and Dominic F. Balletto Jr. of East Haven. They were elected at the Democratic state convention in May. It was “probably the most unusual meeting” of the Electoral College since the first meeting in 1789, Secretary of the State Denise Merrill acknowledged.

One sign of the times was the bottle of hand sanitizer on the table where Merrill and Deputy Secretary of the State Scott Bates sealed with wax each envelope containing the signed copies of the certified vote. They will be sent to Congress, where both houses will convene on Jan. 6. for a session presided over by Vice President Mike Pence.

Library Guidelines All patrons, without exception, must limit their library visits to 60 minutes maximum per day. A very limited number of chairs are available on the public floor. These chairs will be a maximum of one per-table or -study desk. Library patrons may not move chairs from their designated places for any reason. Computer sessions are limited to no more than 60 minutes per-patron, per-day. Overdue item fines and copying/printing/faxing fees have been reinstated.

Other considerations: The Plainville District Health Inspector and the Library Board of Trustees require stricter enforcement of the CDC recommendation that individuals in the library must stay a minimum of six feet apart. Computer users, in particular, are asked to remember that this required distance makes virtually all direct, one-on-one computer help unsafe. If a visitor does not know how to navigate a computer or the Internet independently, or if troubleshooting is needed, one-on-one computer assistance cannot safely be provided at this time.

All returned items may be quarantined up to seven days.

Eversource Energy lauded for responsible practices For the second consecutive year, Eversource Energy has been recognized by Newsweek Magazine on its list of America’s Most Responsible Companies. Berlin-based Eversource ranked No. 1 in the Energy & Utilities category on Newsweek’s list and placed 72nd out of 2,000 large public companies that were evaluated in its review process. The list is based on an analysis of the companies’ Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, Sustainability, Corporate Citizenship as

well as an independent public survey. “This recognition is a tremendous honor that truly reflects the unyielding commitment and determination of our company and our great employees – especially during these uncertain times,” said Eversource Chairman, President and CEO Jim Judge. “While we continue to operate under our COVID-19 pandemic plan, our focus remains on providing safe and reliable electric, gas and water service to our customers while

at the same time nurturing a diverse and engaged workplace for employees, advancing clean energy and working to protect the environment. We are honored to be on Newsweek’s list again this year and in the great company of the other distinguished honorees.” Eversource’s commitment to carbon neutrality, support of solar energy utility installations, investments in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and initiatives consistent with its strategy of being the catalyst for clean energy

development in New England demonstrates its corporate responsibility. In addition, the energy company has partnered with global offshore wind developer Ørsted to bring additional offshore wind to the northeast and is also advancing innovative energy storage projects for improved energy reliability for customers.

Santa Claus pays an early visit to Plainville On Friday, Dec. 11 at Norton Park, children of all ages had the chance to wave at Santa Claus from the comfort of their own vehicle. The Chamber of Commerce’s Wave to Santa event also featured vintage cars and fire

trucks courtesy of the Plainville Fire Company. “With COVID-19, we couldn’t risk the health of residents,” said chamber board member Linda Coveney, who planned the

event. “But we didn’t want to take away tradition and just a fun thing for families to do together during the holiday season. We wanted to keep the spirit of Christmas alive in Plainville.”

Attendees were encouraged to decorate their vehicles, and Santa and his friends made several passes through Norton Park to assure everyone had a good look. — Citizen report

The President himself has said the election was stolen from him. Southington resident Alexandra Anderson said she “always fully trusted the election results until this year.” “There is a huge uncertainty in what actually happened. We really don’t have confidence in how the ballots were processed,” Anderson said.

Her husband, Mark Anderson, echoed that. “The faith in the election system has been completely lost,” he said. “The election outcome cannot be decided by the media, it has to be decided by the legal electoral process.” Durham resident Matthew Pepe believes that different states having different voter identification laws also undercut trust in the election results. While some states require that voters show a photo ID, others don’t. “I personally feel that in order to have zero questions about results, voter ID is an absolute must,” Pepe said. Raul Fernandes, for one, has faith in the electoral process. “The problem is not the election,” said Fernandes, a Berlin resident. “There used to be a belief that whether a

“There wasn’t this divisiveness when it was Obama or George Bush,” she said. “Trump’s stance on things, the things he would say versus tweet, things he should have condemned and didn’t; I believe all that divided us.” However, Martinez believes that Biden’s victory should be clear to all, regardless of one’s politics. “The recount showed very clearly that Trump lost,” she said, “and there are people on both sides who believe it.” While many have chastised Trump for not conceding to Biden, others applaud the sitting President for challenging the election results. “I believe the court system is

After this very contentious election, many Americans, including President-elect Biden, are calling for calm. Dennehy emphasized the importance of “respecting each other, listening to all points of view and agreeing to disagree on points of interest.” In the end, it’s up to voters to determine who will represent them. Sandy Coppola, chair of the Berlin Republican Town Committee, said “We live in a democracy where fair voting takes place and if you are not happy with the results, maybe you should rethink your strategy or work harder for the next election season.” nkorytnikova@ record-journal.com 203-317-2444 Twitter: @n_korytnikova
