A memorable fall season for many local athletes Plainville squads had a strong fall season, with the high school football team earning a spot in the penultimate round of the state playoffs, and the middle school boys soccer team registering an undefeated campaign.

While the PHS football team fell to Bloomfield 35-7 in the semifinals on Dec. 9, the 2019 Blue Devils have much to be proud about. The team ran up a record of 9-3 this season, and defeated Bullard Havens Tech in the first round of the playoffs. “It was a very good experience for the kids. It showed

through a lot of hard work and perseverance and a little luck,” PHS coach Tim Shea said. Wide receiver Christian Collin scored his team’s sole touchdown against Bloomfield. The TD came in the fourth quarter.

Runners race along Northwest Drive in Plainville during the "Thanks for Giving" race on Oct. 9. The run raised around half the money needed to fund the spring sports program at MSP.

Chemicals released at business on Queen St. By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff

SOUTHINGTON — The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is investigating after a foam suppression system was activated, causing a fire alarm at Smiths Medical on Monday, Dec. 9.

Staff were evacuated during the incident. There were no reported injuries. DEEP was called in because of a foam runoff issue, officials said. Mutual aid responded from Cheshire, Bristol, Wolcott and Plainville. The fire marshal left the scene around 9 p.m.

DEEP employees and a crew from private contractor Clean Harbors responded to the scene. DEEP mitigated and contained the foam while the crew from Clean Harbors used vacuum trucks and a tank to clean up visible foam from the property and along West Queen Street, Rozek said. Clean Harbors was on scene Dec. 10 to continue cleaning the inside of the building. It is unknown how much foam was released. The investigation is ongoing, Rozek said. “The Town of Southington is grateful for the support we received from our neighboring communities and the State of Connecticut during this event,” Lockwood said in a release.

DEEP was notified that “the building’s automatic fire suppression system had released an unknown amount of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) into a chemical storage room inside the facility,” Kristina Rozek, DEEP director of communications, said Dec. 10. The foam spilled into the storm drain system and into catch basins on West Queen Street.

Shane Lockwood, director of health for the PlainvilleSouthington Health District, said the fire suppression system released a “minimal amount of water and firefighting foam” and that most was contained.

Grandparents are regularly generous with grandchildren, sometimes giving significant amounts of money. With the holidays approaching, gifting increases. Often grandparents want to share their resources to leave a legacy. In some cases, their children or grandchildren are dealing with financial hardship. Grandparents might also believe that their kin shouldn’t have to wait for their inheritance. Grandparents commonly provided assistance paying for summer camp, college tuition, weddings or down payments for homes. They should keep the following factors in mind when giving to grandchildren, however, and they should be sure to contact their attorney or accountant who can advise them on the tax implications of their kindness. If you’re not giving a gift, state it clearly. If you expect anything, such as repayment, in return, or if the gift is an advance on the recipient’s inheritance, put it in writing. Indicate it in a note along with the check, or in a promissory note if it’s intended to be a loan.

Think about all grandchildren and how they are treated. One grandchild might have greater financial need than another, or you might be closer with one than another. Before giving unequal gifts to grandchildren, think about the implications. In some situations, grandparents choose to do what they want for each grandchild while they are alive, and then treat children equally in their estate plan. Evaluate whether a gift is taxable. Under current tax law, a Connecticut taxpayer need not pay any gift tax for the first $3.6 million that an individual gives away in his or her lifetime. However, any gift of more than $15,000 per year to a single recipient (in 2019) must be reported on a gift tax return. Two grandparents together can give up to $30,000 per recipient per year. There is no limit, and no reporting is required, for payments made directly to educational institutions for tuition or to medical institutions for health care. Contribute to a 529 plan for each grandchild. Open a 529 plan for each grandchild, which allows for tax-deferred growth, assuming the accounts are used entirely to pay for higher education. Consider trusts in particular cases. Make sure you know your grandchildren well. Some cannot be trusted to use money wisely, or for its intended purpose. One option is to give the money in a trust that’s associated with an incentive. For example, the benefits of the trust could go to the grandchild after he or she graduates from college or stay in a long-term trust as an asset protection vehicle. Please contact Ericson, Scalise & Mangan, PC with any questions.

Police: Southington man bit by fox that tested positive for rabies By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff

SOUTHINGTON — A local man was bitten by a fox that later tested positive for rabies, police said. The fox attacked the man in his yard and the man killed it with a pellet gun. Police, animal control and medical personnel responded to a home on Meriden Avenue on Saturday around 8:40 a.m. after receiving a report that a resident was attacked by a fox, Lt. Stephen Elliott said. The resident, identified as Richard Tanguay, said he heard wild turkeys in his yard making noise so he went to check on what was alarming them, Elliott said. Tanguay saw a fox and as the turkeys began to flee the fox attacked Tanguay, Elliott said. The fox bit Tanguay’s ankle and held on. Tanguay was able to make it back to his

Tanguay was treated at the scene and then taken to a local medical center for treatment. The fox was brought to the state Department of Public Health Epidemiology lab where it was tested for rabies. The test came back positive, Elliott said. “Although the public should always be careful around wildlife and unknown animals, this appears to be an isolated event. This is the first animal in Southington to test positive for rabies in several years,” Elliott said in a release. lsellew@record-journal.com 203-317-2225 Twitter: @LaurenSellewRJ

“If they have the option to have packages shipped to their workplace, that is always a great idea,” Meriden Sgt. Darrin McKay said. 2. Sign up to receive a notification when the package is delivered and/or require a signature to accept the package If possible, have a friend or trusted neighbor pick up the package once it is delivered to keep it safe until you get home. Police said many packages are stolen during the daytime hours, when residents are more likely to be at work. 3. Home camera systems can be a deterrent to theft and can let you know when a package has been delivered Even if the package is stolen, the camera footage may help police identify a suspect. McKay noted many online retailers will also send an alert when packages are delivered. Residents can then use the systems to check on the packages at their home using the camera systems. 4. Provide delivery instructions for a less conspicuous spot than your front porch
