Virus claims retired business owner, Boy Scout leader By Mary Ellen Godin Record-Journal staff

Harry J. Goralski and his wife Annette Goralski ran World of Video in town in the days when families would go out and pick their weekend entertainment. When the video store closed,

Goralski kept busy leading Boy Scout Troop 32, which he did for over 40 years. Goralski, 79, died Sunday from complications of COVID-19 at UCONN Medical Center in Farmington, his son Brian Goralski said.

“He touched a lot of people’s lives,” Brian Goralski said. “My brothers John and Michael and I are extremely proud of him.” Harry Goralski was in a rehabilitation center in Farmington when he contracted the coronavirus. The family observed social distancing and visited him

through the windows and by telephone. When Goralski’s condition worsened, he was transferred to UCONN Medical Center where the family continued to maintain telephone contact until his death. See Goralski, A2 Goralski

Residents make face shields, other supplies

Plans for a new library building are shelved By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff

Plans for a new Southington Public Library building will be shelved for now.

Nikolas Thomson is just a few weeks into his latest project: making 3-D printed face shields and other protective equipment for health care workers and first responders. Thomson and his friends, fellow Southington residents Evan D'Agostino and Drew Steindl, have set up shop in the building previously occupied by Hop Knot on Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike in Plantsville. They’ve utilized the bar counters and tabletops to set up a makeshift manufacturing plant that includes about a dozen 3-D printers and space to assemble the shields.

Cardona: School closure decision coming soon

“It’s much more difficult, as you might imagine, to engage in any type of schoolrelated activity if the cancellation was extended into the summer already. We did communicate that night that there’s a likelihood that classes will be canceled further, but we’re going to make that decision when the time is right,” Cardona said, adding additional closures will be announced well before May 20.

MERIDEN — State Education Commissioner Miguel Cardona said Tuesday, April 14 that he expects to announce whether schools will remain closed beyond May 20 in the next “two or three weeks,” adding that he envisions schools will open slowly and gradually whenever the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. “It’s probably going to be phased in, it’s probably not going to be one moment we’re not there, the next day

we’re business as usual,” Cardona told the RecordJournal in a remote interview broadcast live on Facebook. “It’s going to be a gradual phase-in process, but a lot of those decisions are going to be made based on what we have available to us in terms of knowing whether or not people are carrying (the virus), the rate of transmission,” said Cardona, a city native who worked his way through the ranks in the Meriden school system, from an elementary school teacher to assistant superin-

tendent, before being appointed education commissioner last year. In announcing the decision to close schools through May 20, Cardona said he and Gov. Ned Lamont reserved the right to close schools further if needed, and Lamont has publicly said it’s likely schools won’t reopen until the fall. While other states, like Pennsylvania and Vermont, have already moved to close schools through the 2019-20 school year, Cardona said not doing so pre-

The decision to reopen will be made in consultation with state and federal health guidance, Cardona said. “Make no mistake — this is a public health decision,” he said. “We’re not going to send kids to school if there’s a risk that there’s going to be high transmission because not only do we have to worry about the students but we have to worry about the families that they go home to, we have to worry about

vent the spread, so that’s not a viable option. In some cases, some districts are able to do a Zoom conference and provide speech therapy or different types of therapies online, but for some of our neediest learners, that doesn’t work. So we have to continue to be creative. We know that the road to recovery will require that we work to meet the needs of those learners who had gaps in their learning, and those gaps in their learning are much more significant because they haven’t had the benefit of some distance learning … Additionally, we have to do work for our English learners.

for our students, but we’re also dealing with it ourselves. We’re human too, and we’re worried about loss, we’re worried about protecting the people we love. So it’s OK to not have answers. It’s OK to not be able to meet everyone else’s needs. Take care of yourself. There’s that whole analogy when you’re on an airplane, you put on your oxygen mask first before you help someone else. Similarly, for educators and parents, it’s OK, take care of yourselves. You’re going to be better for your children.” “For teachers, kids just need a connection right now. They need to know that we’re going to get past this together, that you’re there for them. The learning, the math, the reading — that’s important.

SOCIAL DISTANCING ENFORCEMENT

Local police opt for education over citations By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff

Local police departments said they haven’t issued cita-

tions for failure to social distance but have responded to complaints about crowding at parks.

is educate and persuade people to keep at least six feet away from each other in public.

Police officials said their goal

Gov. Ned Lamont’s executive

orders on social distancing and congregating could be enforced with a court summons, according to Brian Foley of the state Department of

of the Archdiocese of Hartford, Inc.

“We were getting calls from Hubbard Park … people are reporting that the park is crowded and that people don’t seem to be paying much attention to giving your neighbor enough space,” he said Monday.

First Time Ever Discount!!

McKay referred questions about enforcing social distancing to Lamont’s office. Meriden police haven’t needed take such action yet. In addition to responding to calls, Meriden police have been using a recently purchased drone to monitor park usage.

at least six feet of distance from others. The order specifically mentions those on public transportation, in taxis or in enclosed transit waiting areas.

“We’re going to have to do the best we can to try to convince people,” he said.

Those with medical conditions are exempt from the order and won’t have to provide proof of the medical condition. Children under age two don’t have to wear a mask along with children whose parents or guardians can’t safely put one on them.

Foley, assistant to the state DESPP commissioner, said state statute does allow police to issue court summons to those who violate the governor’s executive orders during a public health emergency. He said that enforcement mechanism was communicated to local departments.

While residents or business owners flouting executive orders could be issued a summons, Foley said the state encouraged discretion on the part of police officers. “We hope that officers use their compassion and best discretion when approaching these complaints and calls,” he said. Foley also said the state was getting many calls from residents about others not social distancing or gathering in groups.

More calls anticipated Wallingford Police Lt. Samuel Soukup said he hadn’t heard of complaints about distancing or gatherings. He expected more calls after the governor’s latest order on masks goes into effect “if the guidelines aren’t clearly explained.”

Parking restrictions in Southington

Towns and cities also have the ability to create ordinances with fines or other penalties, Foley said.

No officers have asked for guidance on how to issue citations for quarantine-related issues. Soukup wasn’t sure how the department could fine someone without a state statute that had been violated.

Elliott asked residents to consider other open areas if parking at a particular park was full.

In Southington, a caller told police that people weren’t properly distanced at Crescent Lake. Police Lt. Stephen Elliott said a responding officer found the parking lot full but no people gathered.

“I understand, people want to get out of their house,” he said. jbuchanan@record-journal.com 203-317-2230 Twitter: @JBuchananRJ

Police were again at Crescent Lake on Sunday when visitors had filled the parking lot and were parked on both sides of Shuttle Meadow Road. Elliott said it would have been difficult to get a fire truck or ambulance though at that time.

shortages. Thomson, who holds a degree in industrial design from Syracuse University, is no stranger to 3-D printing. “I thought I could do this at home,” he said. So Thomson found design plans for face shields online and began printing them at home. In that first batch, he made an estimated 50 shields. The group has since made about 1,000 face shields and frames and have experimented with different types of materials — from onetime disposable equipment to more durable multi-use gear. That equipment has been sanitized and distribut-

Library From A1

Council members reached Wednesday, April 22 said they still support upgrading the current 45-year-old library building — whether those upgrades include a new facility or renovations to the existing one. The most recent plans proposed by library officials would have replaced the current building on Main Street with a new 25,550 square foot facility. It had been scaled down in size and cost from previous proposals. Council members who spoke with the RecordJournal made clear the vote to table the project did not mean they had opposed building a new library. “I've said from day one that I want a new library,” said Town Council Chairwoman Victoria Triano. “And I want the best library we can afford.”

Thomson said he wanted to assist the health care workers, whom he referred to as “medical heroes,” in the battle to treat COVID-19 patients and prevent the disease’s spread. Thomson said he spoke with one medical supervisor after a recent delivery. “She was so grateful. It made me feel good to know I’m helping out the medical heroes,” Thomson said.

The group was able to bolster their printing capacity by purchasing 10 additional 3-D printers. Thompson was able to buy the printers using a grant from Southington Community Cultural Arts and the Southington Arts and Crafts Association. Typically that money funds scholarships for high school students seeking an art education. The plastic sheets and printing materials have come from other donations. SoCCA Executive Director Mary DeCroce explained that because schools had closed the organization didn’t receive any scholarship applications this year. SoCCA leaders learned of Thomson’s efforts and gave him the funds.

That wouldn’t be the only effort SoCCA would support. Last month, after SoCCA had to close its physical doors, leaders gave away an estimated 100 bags of chalk for children and other residents to use. The bags were left on SoCCA’s front steps and gone within hours, DeCroce said. SoCCA’s exhibits and classes are taking place online, instead of in person. SoCCA staff have filmed instructional videos from their own home studios. SoCCA also issued a call for an exhibit organizers called “Me and my BFF.” The BFF in this instance stands for Best Furry Friends and the call was for people to submit photos with their pets. The organization received more than

“The discussion on a new library has obviously been in the back of people's minds for quite some time,” he said. “Not something that can be ignored indefinitely. I think the right decision was made, given the uncertainty and the economic difficulties we are going through.”

Joanne Kelleher, a member of the library board of directors who chairs the new library planning committee, expressed disappointment. The current building has accessibility issues and is noncompliant with several

SoCCA’s long-standing AllAccess art programming for individuals with disabilities is also ongoing, even though instructors are temporarily unable to work with their clients in person. With support from the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain, SoCCA was able to give away bags of art supplies to at least 40 of its All-Access students. “We have done everything we can to stay connected,” DeCroce said. “We want everyone to know we’re still there for them.” mgagne@record-journal.com 203-317-2231 Twitter:@MikeGagneRJ

Fellow council member Chris Palmieri, who formerly sat on the library's Board of Directors, felt similarly.

Palmieri said he didn't feel much would change two weeks from now when the council is scheduled to meet again.

Patrons in the children's section at the Southington Public Library, 255 Main St., on Monday, Dec. 30, 2019. The town is looking to build a new, larger library to accomodate growing needs, including a larger children's space.

Town Council member Paul Chaplinksy Jr. said he also supported upgrading the current building.

“I absolutely support the library,” he said. “But the timing, it didn't feel appropriate with everything going on — not only in town, but the economy, with so many people out of work. It doesn't seem to be the time to put a big ticket item forward.”

It also doesn't have adequate space to hold community events and to accommodate its children's department, Kelleher said.

Town of Southington operational status update By Town Manager Mark J. Sciota

As of April 20, in compliance with the Governor’s request, only essential personnel and staff are reporting to work at Town offices. The following is our current condition: 1. The following departments are fully staffed: Southington Police Department and Southington Fire Department. 2. Highway/Parks have begun spring operations. Spring operations include clearing roads from winter sand and salt and cleaning catch basins. Highway/Parks is further preparing the road ways for scheduled construction for the construction season and will also clean and maintain parks for spring and summer operations, including eventually the opening of the Town pools. 3. The Transfer Station operated successfully last week for brush on-

ly. Starting this Saturday, April 25, the Transfer Station will be open for full operation, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. To alleviate what we expect to be a large amount of usage, we will open during the week on April 29 and April 30, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. The Transfer Station will again be open for full operation on May 2 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and again during the week of May 6 and May 7 from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Then beginning on May 9, we will have normal operations based upon the Town Transfer Station calendar. 4. Water Pollution Control is rotating staff and the plant is operating normally. 5. Community Service is operating with the Director, staff and volunteers to supply residents with groceries not only to be picked up at the Community Service building but also by using the Town CERT per-

COMMENTARY

Who will be the heroes and patriots of this crisis? By State Sen. Rob Sampson

These last couple weeks of the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak have impacted us all in a big way and will no doubt leave indelible marks on the future of our great country. My sense is that the word “crisis” has been used more often in recent days than in my whole life before now. As an American patriot and a lover of history, what comes to mind immediately when I hear “crisis” or even more specifically – “an American crisis,” is the work of one of America’s less appreciated founding fathers, Thomas Paine. Paine was an imperfect character (as we all are) and many would argue he miscalculated many of his life decisions. Nonetheless, he should still be regarded as one of the key heroes – and instigators of the American revolution. John Adams said of him "Without the pen of the author of Common Sense, the sword of Washington would have been raised in vain."

I read something recently that suggested that every 80 years, America faces a crisis that requires a new hero generation. This immediately made me wonder who the heroes and patriots of this American crisis might be. It is a different type of crisis but with some striking similarities. The American revolution was not about a virus but rather an awakening of the human spirit as a result of oppressive rule. The British colonists were a special breed, pioneers and their descendants – people with a passion for freedom, individual strength of resolve, and a potentially-enhanced predisposition for rebellion. King George provoked their independent nature with his repeated disregard for the individual British colonists, failing to respond to their desire to pass laws to govern the colonies, cutting off trade, imposing punitive taxes, and ultimately committing acts “which may define a

Words of Wellness by Dr. Stacey Raya TAKING SOME HARD KNOCKS Individuals with large gaps between their feet when they arc standing with their knees together are said to have “knock knees”· (medically known as “genu valgum”). While many children tend to display knock knees as part of their normal development, their legs will usually straighten out by age six or seven. Adults can also develop knock knees as a symptom of arthritis. Otherwise, the condition might arise as a result of pronated feet that lead to knee instability, or possibly an adductor/abductor imbalance causes the knees to knock together. Chiropractors are experienced in evaluating an individual’s gait, which can lead to recommendations and treatment that help normalize patient’s manner of moving. Chiropractic care is a great treatment for people of all ages who have knock knees. For younger patients who are merely moving through a development stage, chiropractic can help to keep their bodies from developing joint dysfunction or restriction as a result of the condition. To schedule and appointment please call 860 621-2225 or visit us at 200 Queen St., Southington. Our practice has a unique approach of comprehensive care and is based on the premise of the Triad of Health, a combination of chiropractic, acupuncture and nutrition. P.S. Gait analysis has become an accepted part of sports medicine.

Man charged with attempted assault with car By Bailey Wright Record-Journal staff

SOUTHINGTON — A local man faces charges after police say he attempted to run someone over with his vehicle during a dispute. Connor Trzcinski, 20, of Southington was charged April 14 with second-degree criminal attempt to commit assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, interfering with an officer and disorderly conduct. Police said Trzcinski pulled his vehicle toward another person several times during an argument. When officers arrived, Trzcinski refused to get out of his vehicle. Officers had to break a window to open the door to arrest Trzcinski, police said. Trzcinski’s was released on a promise to appear in New Britain Court on June 8. bwright@record-journal.com 203-317-2316 Twitter: @baileyfaywright

This month, the Record-Journal launched its COVID-19 Local News Fund, and the community has stepped up with generous donations and inspiring words For 153 years you, our community, have supported the Record-Journal by purchasing subscriptions and advertising. We appreciate and thank you all sincerely for that support. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do every day without you. For 153 years our news team has been dedicated to providing trusted, fact-based local news about our towns, schools, businesses, government, families, non-profits, events, celebrations, deaths and so much more. They are doing so right now mostly from home, and sometimes risking their own health to gather the news that we all need. As a public service, we are providing all coronavirus coverage for free on myrecordjournal.com, where our audience has spiked significantly since this began.

When we launched our COVID-19 Local News Fund, we stepped out of our comfort zone. Today, in this unique and challenging time, we are asking for a little extra support from all of you to help us through this devastating temporary situation. We’ve never asked for donations before but it’s easy to set stubborn pride aside for one simple reason: We’re passionate about local news and our commitment to factchecked, professionally-reported journalism.

For 153 years our responsibility has been to provide you with trusted local news and we take that responsibility very seriously. Because we are financially challenged right now, we feel it is also our responsibility to ask you to help us help our community. Every dollar raised goes directly to the Record-Journal newsroom to help pay for news resources and restore hours to provide more local fact-based reporting during this critical time.

A HUGE thank you to the more than 100 supporters who’ve contributed so far! Your heartwarming comments motivate and inspire us as we cover the impact of the virus on our local community.

We are told that we must choose between one-sizefits-all draconian solutionsmandated business closures, contact tracing, and even fines for walking in the park – or face unthinkable death and destruction. I believe this is a false choice. Is it possible that we are smarter than that? Do people need the government to tell them to practice social distancing? Could businesses still operate and take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus? Are solutions only as far away as the opportunity to create them?
