Graduation motorcade brings smiles, excitement and closure By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
Lucca Riccio, president of Southington High School’s class of 2020, wore his blue cap and gown as he leaned against a red convertible with a message written with blue painter’s tape on the hood, which read “PREZ 2020.” The car was parked in the lot in front of Riccio’s school.
Friday, June 19, 2020
Riccio would soon be seated in the passenger seat in one of hundreds of vehicles that would venture out into Southington, giving the class of 2020 a festive motorcade sendoff to punctuate — with an exclamation of cheers and car honks — a school year that otherwise had ended abruptly in midMarch due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the disruption to their final
year as Southington High School students may have been disappointing, students, faculty, and family were all smiles Tuesday evening. “I was expecting it to be fun,” Riccio said with a wide grin moments before the motorcade drove off. “I wasn’t expecting it to be this exciting. See Graduation, A7
Superintendent of Schools Tim Connellan, speaking during a remote meeting of the Board of Finance recently, spelled out the uncertainty the district faces when it comes to reopening school buildings. “Right now we have very little idea of what the state is going to require of us to return students,” Connellan said, adding that the district expects to receive direction in the next couple of weeks. A previous 17-page document released by the Reopen Connecticut Advisory Group at the beginning of June outlines the requirements for summer school — imposing significant restrictions on the number of children allowed in classrooms and on buses. For example, the rules impose a group See Schools, A2

size limit of one teacher and 10 additional individuals, including students. For students with special learning needs, the guidelines recommend a five-to-one studentto-teacher ratio. The guidelines say that sixfoot social distancing measures should be maintained. The guidelines further stipulate transportation to summer school should be provided by a guardian if possible, limiting the number of students on buses. The guidelines also require face masks for all individuals on bus rides and mandate districts must employ a bus monitor.
“The costs attached to these, if any come true, will be significant,” Connellan said during the Wednesday meeting. “If you look at those as rules, they are so restrictive. If the reopening of school for the regular school year looks anything like that, it’s going to be very difficult.”
“It is difficult at this time to determine the extent to which these expenditures will be needed and the timing of the service delivery,” Sciota wrote. “In addition, rules and guidelines for reopening schools have not been released to date and it is anticipated that there will be unbudgeted expenses for equipment or services related to those rules for reopening schools.” Board of Education Chairwoman Terri Carmody said she and other board members cannot predict what will happen a few months from now, but she also expects extra costs. “Could our transportation costs go up because we have to social distance the kids on the buses?” Carmody said. “I think that’s certainly a possibility. Everything is just uncertain at this point to tell you the truth.”

In Cheshire, school officials have convened virtual sessions this week with parents, to outline options and determine preferences for the reopening of school. State Department of Education spokesman Peter Yazbak, in an email, stated that the agency expects to issue guidance to local school districts within the next few weeks. Gov. Ned Lamont’s Reopen Connecticut Advisory Group includes a 12-member education subcommittee, which is tasked with “developing the plan to support districts in implementing safe, efficient, and equitable plans for returning to school buildings in a way that works for them, which includes engaging parents, teachers, school leaders, policymakers, and student voice throughout this process.” Local school districts will have access to federal CARES Act funding to cover expenses associated with preparing school buildings, implementing remote learning and other actions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, Yazbak explained.

Connellan said some of the rules are “untenable.” He does not believe the district’s transportation vendors have the number of buses needed nor will the district be able to employ enough bus monitors to comply with the rules.

Festival message On June 8, the difficult decision was made to officially cancel the 2020 Southington Apple Harvest Festival. Maintaining the health and safety of our community members, vendors, sponsors, volunteers and staff is our top priority. There is concern regarding the coronavirus pandemic and its projected resurgence in the fall, and the CDC and state guidelines for outdoor group gatherings and social distancing are not logistically viable based on our festival's size and location. Additionally, the festival has not received the funding necessary to move forward as vendors and sponsors are struggling with the current economic situation and cannot commit to participating.

Find SoCCA on Facebook.
Bread for Life
With all of these factors in mind, canceling the festival was determined to be the right decision for this year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our community to celebrate the return to our annual tradition of great food, free entertainment, and exciting special events in October 2021.

PZC rule change could lead to houses on former college campus By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
A zoning regulation change approved Tuesday makes it easier for a developer to build age-restricted housing at the vacant Lincoln College campus on Mount Vernon Road. Mark Lovley and his representative Sev Bovino suggested a change to the town’s age-restricted cluster housing regulations at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Tuesday night. The change was approved by the commission in a 6 to 1 vote.
Lovley and Bovino said there’s strong demand for homes catering to the needs of older residents. “This zone addresses the housing needs of the aging population, provides housing choices for residents so they don’t have to move,” Bovino said.
Campus owners are working on a list of uses for the property that are allowed by special permit approval. The commission hasn’t yet approved the plan, which initially included drug rehabilitation. After opposition from neighbors, property owners removed that use from the plan.
Town Planner Rob Philips said the regulation change would allow for easier development on four or five propLincoln College of New Eng- erties in town.

in relation to the suggested regulation change. Peter Santago, a commission member, said attempts to get another school to use the campus haven’t been fruitful. “Maybe that’s the best we can hope for there,” he said of age-restricted housing.

yet. He voted in favor of the change.
“Just think, we haven’t seen each other in three months... Just getting to see each other one more time, it’s still a good memory to have,” he said.
“I don’t know if there’s anything we can do to get that property back on the (tax) rolls again,” he said. Christina Volpe was the lone vote against the regulation change. She was worried about such a “formidable” change that would apply to only a few large parcels in town. The age-restricted cluster housing zone amended Tuesday was created at the request of Lovley and Bovino for another development off South End Road. If a property meets the criteria of the zone and is approved by the commission, developers can build more units but must set aside land for open space.
Dawn Mcknerney similarly opposed the regulation change and further development in town. “The destruction of our wetlands and open space isn’t progress,” she said.

He arrived walking with crutches and a large smile. “There was no way — no way,” Pepe said, that he was going to miss the motorcade, moments before stepping into a large white van that driven by schools superintendent Tim Connellan. The class will officially graduate on Aug. 7, which the date the Board of Education voted to set for the official ceremony. Leaders at the high school came up with the idea for a motorcade because they sought another way to give students a cheerful send off that would be closer to their traditional graduate date.

GOP town committee supports Veach for 30th District seat BERLIN — The Berlin Republican Town Committee is proud to announce its endorsement of Berlin Town Councilor Donna Veach for Republican candidate for the House of Representatives, 30th District.
Also, Veach wants to look for the wasteful spending that exists in the state so that we can help our citizens, especially during these difficult times, by not increasing taxes while still providing essential services.
Veach became the GOPendorsed candidate at the GOP convention on Tuesday, May 19.
Veach has experience in managing budgets, and understands that you can’t tax your way out of a shortfall. She listens to ideas and suggestions from both sides of the aisle. Party affiliation is not as important as implementing great ideas.
Veach, her husband Jeff and their three daughters have lived in Berlin for the past 30 years. She is a EuVeach charistic Minister at St. Paul’s church and is currently the Development and Marketing Director at the New Britain Youth Museum and Hungerford Nature Center.
Veach is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, equal rights for all citizens under the law, and opposes tolls in Connecticut. She believes that tolls will just be another barrier in bringing businesses back to the state. The BRTC believes Donna Veach has the right conviction, morals, ethics, business experience, empathy and understanding to best represent Berlin and Southington. She is a strong woman who is proud of where she lives and wants her daughters to have the opportunity to raise their families here too.
Veach comes from a conservative family and believes in those ideas. She has strong family values, and has raised three strong, confident daughters. She understands the need and benefits of a good education. In addition, she sees the opportunity to bring manufacturing back to the state, and looks forward to working with the private sector once in Hartford to create apprenticeships and training programs for our students.
The only way that can happen is if we work towards making Connecticut attractive to businesses and families. — Press Release
For 35 years, our family taking care of your family!

Was that a reasonable decision? Only time will tell. But given the governor’s very cautious approach throughout this crisis, it would make little sense for Southington to bet against Lamont on this important matter. See Editorial, A11

Anne M. Maguire
From A10
SOUTHINGTON- Anne Marie (Toole) Maguire, 83, wife of William Maguire for 59 years, died peacefully on June 14, 2020 at her home with her loving family by her side. Anne was born on September 4, 1936, in Wilkes-Barre, PA, a daughter of the late Gilbert and Mary (Clisham) Toole and lived most of her life in Naugatuck. Anne graduated from Naugatuck High School, Class of 1954 and before retiring, she worked for various companies as a key punch operator. She was very devout in the practice of her Catholic faith. She led the Third Order of Lay Carmelites, Waterbury Chapter for many years and she also was a member of the Adoration Society of the Immaculate Conception Church for over 25 years. In addition to her husband of Southington, Anne is survived by her son, Rev. William Maguire, C.P. of East Haven; her daughter, Marianne (Tom) Szarkowicz of Watertown and their children, Michael, Andrea, Thomas and Mary; her son, Dennis Maguire of Bristol; her daughter, Susan Maguire of Plantsville and her children, Samantha, William, Joseph, Sean and granddaughter, A’leah; her son, Joseph (Christine) Maguire of Naugatuck and their children, Jessica and Ryan; her son, John Maguire of Oakville, her sister, Regina (Kevin) Daly of Ellington, CT and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Anne was predeceased by her brother, Richard “Dick” Toole.
Before voting, councilors discussed whether to attempt a scaled-down festival, but Michel DelSanto said he wouldn't want to hold an event that left people disappointed. "The last thing I want is the shell of the Apple Harvest Festival," he said.

Chris Palmieri, the minority leader, said the town should abide by the governor's timetable. “I do see the light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. The next glimmer of light will arrive Wednesday, when Lamont said Con-
Whether that adds up to “about 95 percent of our economy” is difficult to calculate. Bars and nightclubs are not yet allowed to resume business, but Wednesday will still mark a big step in Connecticut’s “reopening.” Lamont calls this “a calculated risk,” but explains that “the percentage of people testing positive has been going down.” However things turn out, no one will soon forget 2020.

Hotels, bowling alleys, amusement parks, nail salons, tattoo parlors, gyms, and fitness centers are among the types of establishments that will be allowed to reopen Wednesday. Restaurants will also be allowed to serve patrons indoors, but with strict social distancing in place.

The May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department has sparked nationwide protests which show no signs of dissipating. Across the U.S. – and right in our own backyard – citizens have taken to the streets to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement and to stand against racism. The “Plainville Unity March” drew hundreds of attendees. Resident Sarah Doyle helped spearhead the gathering, which included a one-mile march from the Municipal Center to Norton Park. “I’ve never organized any type of rally, or march, or protest in the past,” said
Editorial From A11
Doyle, who worked with fellow Plainville resident Monique Jones-Pelletier to pull the Unity March together. “It’s one of those things: Be the change you want to see in the world. So if I don’t want my little community to be silent, then I need to be the person to speak up.” Doyle was heartened to see the town’s response to the Unity March. She thought a crowd of 50 or 100 people may take part, but some 400 came out. “It was an amazing sight to see that line of people that just went on, and on, and on,” she said. “And people were driving by and honking, waving, calling out in support.

The Covid-19 pandemic has offered a great reminder to review the elements of your estate plan.
The Plainville Police Department also showed its solidarity with the marchers.

Review your health care proxy and power of attorney: Be sure you are comfortable with your choices of who will make medical and financial decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. For each, have a back-up in place in case the first person is unavailable. Now is the time to have new documents created if yours no longer apply. These choices apply for any decisions made for you while you are still alive.

Revise your will: Decide whether you want to keep the executor you have named for your estate, and make sure you name a back-up. This person will be responsible for validating your will when you die, handling your affairs and filing your income and estate tax returns. Be sure you have included a guardian for any minor children, as well as back-up for that guardian.

Review your trust: Take a look at the beneficiaries of your trust. Decide whether you want them to be given the income outright or over time, or if you want to have the funds held for them in a trust, especially if the beneficiaries are minors. Ensure that you feel good about your choice of trustee, whether it is an individual, such as your attorney or accountant, or a corporate entity, such as a bank.

was very well-received by our community,” said Doyle. Well-attended peaceful protests have taken place throughout the area, including in Berlin, where hundreds converged on Veterans Park and marched along Farmington Avenue. Prior to that rally, in a message posted to the Berlin Police Department Facebook page, police chief John M. Klett made it known that he understands why people have felt compelled to protest. “Every member of the Berlin Police Department shares the community’s grief over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The actions and inactions during that incident were inexcusable and shocking to the conscience. The Officers involved are unworthy to wear the badge and have done immeasurable harm to the law enforcement community and the public trust we strive for,” Klett wrote.
The Berlin chief added, “All people deserve to be treated fairly and with respect. There is no room for racism in law enforcement. Any officer who violates their oath or the public trust must be removed from the profession. Recent events make it clear that there is much work to be done to improve police legitimacy.” Klett ended his statement by saying, “As a community it is of utmost importance to respect the right to peacefully protest and we will continue to protect and serve those working and living in the Town of Berlin.” In Cheshire, a “Prayer Vigil for Peace, Justice and Love” was hosted by the First Congregational Church of Cheshire. “I attended this vigil simply as a very concerned citizen of the Cheshire community,” said Ron Kochman. He was concerned about human rights, but his 93-year-old mother’s comments also pressed him to attend.

Kochman explained his mother, who is Jewish, was born in Berlin, Germany in 1926. “She was lucky and escaped Nazi holocaust,” he said. His mother went to Shanghai, China with her immediate family. “It was there she met my father and in 1947 they came to the place they thought was free of bias and persecution: The United States of America,” Kochman said. Kochman described a phone conversation he recently had with his mother. He said she was quite worried after watching news about George Floyd and the events in Washington, D.C.’s Layfayette Park. He quoted his mother as saying, “I can't believe what’s happening in this country. I thought I was done with this hatred and See Protestors, A20

Also in Cheshire, hundreds turned out for a “Black Lives Matter” March. Participants walked along Route 10 from Bartlem Park to Town Hall. Many in the crowd held signs and speakers addressed the crowd to call for an end to racial inequality and police brutality. The march was organized by Cheshire High See Protestors, A29

cause of Father’s Day weekend.
On Wednesday, the second phase of “reopening” Connecticut began with movie theaters, bowling alleys, amusement parks and other businesses able to open again.
“To avoid having Phase 2 of Connecticut’s reopening efforts take effect during a busy Father’s Day weekend, we’re going to move it up a few days earlier to June 17,” Gov. Ned Lamont tweeted on June 5. “Our public health professionals are continuing to monitor test results for possible links to large demonstrations, but as long as COVID hospitalizations and infection rates remain low, we will be in a very good position for a June 17 Phase 2.”
Most businesses closed in mid-March under a mandate from the governor’s office intended to limit the spread of the coronavirus. As of Wednesday, museums, social clubs, libraries, sports complexes, gyms, pools and hotels also were permitted to reopen and restaurants could offer indoor dining. The second phase was originally scheduled to start June 20, but was moved up be-

Students showcase life during quarantine By Jessica Simms Special to the Record-Journal
Photos, quotes and anecdotes were compiled into a video made by eighth grade students at DePaolo Middle School that showcased their life in quarantine. This video project, entitled Quaran“teened,” was a part of the students’ journalism curriculum in their language arts class.

“Anytime that the curriculum matches up with something that can be more authentic for the kids, I feel like all three of (the eighth grade language arts teachers) really like to make it more pertinent for the kids’ lives,” said Kerri Laferriere, a language arts teacher. “So instead of writing an assignment just for a teacher to get a grade, it shows them that their voices truly do matter.”
R225123
The three eighth grade language arts teachers, Laferriere, Holly Boudreau and Jennifer Stanton, introduced the students to the basics of journalism and then allowed them to choose how they would contribute to the project. “We had an introduction, we talked about the five W’s, we gave them some samples of some journalistic pieces so they started that way,” Stanton said. “Then, we introduced the assignment and we let them pick out what they wanted to do. They could’ve done an anecdote, a quote, a picture. So they had a lot of choices to sign up for what they wanted to contribute to the video.”

Some eighth graders felt the project could be a useful tool for the future as a primary document about living through a pandemic. “You never know what can happen,” said Dakota Colon, an eighth grade student. “You don’t know if it’ll come back five years from now or something worse happens. You always want to have something handy to look back at.”
Other students said that it was a way for them to showcase the hardships they are living through. “It shows the struggle and how hard it is,” said Austin Mancuso Cermola. “We were able to express what we did with friends, with school and with everything overall and how we were able to put it all together on to slides and make it look good,” Quinn Walsh added The teachers believe it was a way for the students to connect with their peers and most importantly, themselves. “I think it helped them make connections with one another too,” Stanton said. “Their classmates, their peers — they’re all feeling the same way.” “It gave them an opportunity to connect with their emotions,” Boudreau added. The students also believe it reminded them of small things they took for granted. “Back when COVID-19 wasn’t a thing, we could walk on the street and bump into people and it wasn’t a big thing, but now if we bump into someone, we have to make sure you sanitize and have a mask on and everything,” eighth grader Meikhi Batchelor said. “You walk into the grocery store and you see that everyone is wearing a mask.” The teachers hope their work on the video made the students realize their voice matters. “That they have valid ideas, they are important, their emotions matter,” Laferriere said. “It’s not that they are just a 13-year-old and so they can’t make any change and that they can’t be heard. I hope that they learned that reading and writing really are a means to make a difference.” jsimms@record-journal.com 203-317-2208 Twitter: @jessica_simms99

We’ll put you in, Coach, you’re always ready to play Renaissance Howie, Johnny Football & the ageless Charlie Farley are overdue finalists for Coach of the Year By Bryant Carpenter Record-Journal staff
MERIDEN — We always figured we’d nominate Howie Hewitt for Coach of the Year sooner or later. The veteran Maloney coach is a household name for a checkered career not only in boys basketball, but baseball. So, here in Year 5 of the Record-Journal’s “Best of the Bunch,” Howie gets his due. He is a finalist for Coach of the Year. We just didn’t figure it would be at another school and in another sport.
Farley Combined with the assistant softball coaching he does in the spring at Maloney with Scott Aresco, it’s a neat renaissance period for Hewitt, who coached the Spartans in basketball for 33 years and in baseball for 23.
His new squad did quite well this winter. Playing the same sort of uptempo offense and pressure defense for which Hewitt’s boys teams were known at Maloney, the Lady

Knights bolted to the top of the Class LL state playoff rankings by winning 13 of their first 14 games. Then came season-ending injuries to two of Southington’s leading lights, juniors Kelley Marshall and Allison Carr, and that derailed the ride, at least for Year 1. With virtually the entire team coming back, Year 2 brims with promise.
So let the count start for “Hewitt, Phase III.” He’s 457-285 in boys basketball, 286-228 in baseball and 16-7 in girls basketball. Howie, being a retired math teacher, can tell at a glance that’s 759 career wins. Hewitt’s rivals for Coach of
the Year? Two veterans from Sheehan. One is veteran with a capital V, and that’s Charles Farley, the track and field coach whose career dates back to 1965. Charlie, being a retired math teacher, can tell withSee Bunch, A28

cycling event in 19.2 seconds. Another athlete, 40-yearold Angie D’Amico of Cheshire, has been training on her own. “It’s been kind of difficult. I’ve been working out at home and running, so that’s how I’ve been preparing for
it,” said D'Amico. She competed in soccer and scored five goals in the run, kick, score event and completed the dribbling contest in 33.42 seconds. D’Amico said she always wanted to play soccer growing up. Her mom started the team in Cheshire 10 years ago and found a coach for the Special Olympics.
After the games were over, D’Amico said, “I’m definitely going to continue exercising.”Volunteers signed on to cheer the athletes through social media hoping to provide the same energy and excitement and make it feel like previous events. “I think this year it’s going to be about skills,“ said D’Amico explaining that “in previous years we competed against each other,” Friday night’s opening ceremony was broadcast on the Special Olympics Connecticut website for the first time and included messages from sponsors and a virtual law enforcement torch run.

play their sports and understood that we needed to be in different places,” Horne said. Horne said Special Olympics Connecticut is looking ahead to the Unified Sports Fall Festival and making plans to adapt and ensure the health and safety of all participants. “We’ll look to Special Olympics International and our state leaders to figure out what’s appropriate and what our next step should be,” said Horne. “It could be mixing virtual with in-person or limiting the size of events. I don’t know for sure at this point.”
Fun fact: Ferrazzi is actually a Farley successor. While Farley is synonymous with track, he served as Sheehan’s first football coach when the school opened in 1971. By 1973, he was also coaching boys track. By 1985, he added girls track to the plate. By then, Farley, a native of Erie, Pa., had been in Wallingford for 20 years, having started at Lyman Hall in 1965 and a family with his wife Carol. This past year, in his 55th year of coaching, Farley lined up the ducks just right and won the SCC Championship with his girls indoor team. It was his first title with the girls. Farley’s boys teams won Class S indoor state titles in 2000 and 2002 and the Class M outdoor crown in 2014. He’s had individual athletes win Connecticut and New England championships. He’s seen athletes go on to compete in college track at all levels. All that’s really lacking, if you want to be picky, is a girls state title. Well, Charlie, you’d better add it to the list.

Our second finalist from Sheehan, John Ferrazzi, is starting to put long years on the resume, too. Seems like just yesterday that Ferrazzi, a Waterbury native, arrived from Springfield College and joined Sheehan as a physical education teacher and an assistant football coach.
Following the opening ceremonies, there was a virtual athlete dance through iHeartRadio. Connecticut’s five iHeartRadio stations broadcasted and had supportive messages on air to the Special Olympians.

that we get to tell our children," he said.
In Meriden, rallies occurred on back-to-back days. The first drew some 1,000 people to the city green.
Michelle Clay, who attended the Meriden protest, said institutional racism keeps black mothers like herself up at night waiting for their sons to return, keeps African Americans off ballots and keeps textbooks written from a white perspective in the classroom.
Meriden resident Michael Valentin said he was surprised by the turnout and hopes it will unite and inspire people to work on bettering themselves, especially police. "This is history right now … this is our history,

In Wallingford, a protest was organized by a group of high school students, who declined to identify themselves publicly, saying they feared retaliation. They said in a statement following the protest that they received positive feedback from people happy to see "a peaceful protest in their town that has previously been silent on the issue."

"We were not expecting so many people," they said, "but were extremely elated to see how many people came out that day to fight against the injustice in our country." About an hour into the protest, a few hundred people gathered at the police station at 135 N. Main St. Many chanted slogans and shouted at police. Eventually, some engaged in conversation with officers.
Protesters carried signs with messages such as “Black Lives Matter,” “Stop killing us,” “Viva la revolucion” and “No Justice, No Peace.”
