Dems call for referendum on local pot sales By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
The local Democratic Town Committee has released a statement in support of allowing voters to decide on the issue of permitting or prohibiting marijuana dispensaries in town.
“We owe it to residents to give them the opportunity. This is the most democratic option we have as residents,” said DTC Chairperson Erica Byrne. The legislation which went into effect on Thursday allowing the recreational use of marijuana for those 21
and over permits dispensaries to begin opening in 2022, however it has provisions allowing municipalities to prohibit sales locally. Municipal zoning boards could amend zoning regulations to bar businesses from selling marijuana or a referendum can be held if 10 percent of registered voters petition for a vote.

Fifth-grade teacher Sandra Chavez works to show her students what they can do, whether that be run for Kid Governor or organize Oshana Elementary School’s Foxathon fundraiser.
It’s a second career for Chavez, who spent her first working years in Hawaii in the hospitality industry. After moving back to Connecticut with her husband and children, of whom she now has six, she was drawn to teaching. Chavez said she likes giving students opportunities to take responsibility, empathize with others and lead.
“The fact that this legislation explicitly allows for town residents to have an opportunity to weigh in on if

Chavez was named teacher of the year by the Southington school district for 2021-2022.
According to town voting records, 3,146 signatures would be required for a petition to force a referendum in Southington.

“There’s never too young of an age to start that,” she said.
Drawn to teaching Chavez and her husband adopted a son with cerebral palsy. She was impressed with how teachers cared for her son and it drew her to the profession.
“It was amazing to me what was going on in the schools and how people committed 110 percent to each student,” she said. With five children and her husband working two jobs, Chavez decided to attend the University of Bridgeport.
Rising electricity costs and environmental considerations prompted a Wedgewood Road couple to pursue a solar array. Despite an initial denial from the town, they eventually received approval and could start construction this week. Richard Vocke, owner of Evergreen Energy and a Southington resident, plans to install 48 solar panels at the home of David and Rebecca Balkun. The application with the town caused regulation changes in May making it easier

Last month, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Balkun’s solar panels.
Since his house had a hip roof unsuitable for solar panels, he and Vocke told board members that the only option was a groundmounted array. Balkun said his neighbors had no objections to the panels, which would be blocked from view by trees and a shed. At the time, solar panels were treated as accessory structures such as sheds and the Balkuns needed a variance to install them. While the ZBA voted three to two in favor of the Balkun’s proposal, four “yes” votes are needed to pass a variance.

Vocke went to former town planner Rob Phillips and the two worked to come up with a way to make solar easier when it doesn’t fit on a home’s roof.
New regulations, which the Planning and Zoning Commission approved in May, stipulate sizes for solar panel systems on the ground. With specific rules in the regulations, it’s now a more straight-forward process to get such arrays. “I’m hopeful that in the future if anyone wants a ground mount, it won’t be that hard to approve,” Vocke said.
“It’s one less thing they need to do. Let’s streamline the process a bit,” Novi said. She voted in favor of the Balkun’s first application.

The solar panels should allow the Balkuns to reduce their electricity bill to the minimum of just under $10. Eversource charges that amount to be connected to the grid regardless of whether or not any power is used. ‘The Balkuns are hoping to net their house out to a zero on an annual basis,” Vocke said. jbuchanan@record-journal.com 203-317-2230 Twitter: @JBuchananRJ

Sacroiliac joint pain is a prevalent disorder affecting the sacroiliac, or SI, joints. These joints are held together by cartilage. When one or both joints misalign, it causes swelling of the cartilage, resulting in pain in the lower back and buttocks, making standing and moving around difficult. Chiropractors are well-versed in treating SI joint pain and can offer an effective solution. They may utilize traditional spinal manipulation techniques or less forceful adjustments. Chiropractors may also teach gentle exercises and stretches that can be done by patients on their own to help improve mobility in the SI joints and limit future pain. These movements are particularly significant for athletes and people with inflammatory disorders who find their joints stiffening.
Baked Stuffed Shrimp 14.95
Symptoms of sacroiliac joint pain can vary from patient to patient, especially depending on the underlying cause. For some, the pain is dull and for others, sharp. Pain can start at the joint itself, but it can move to the buttocks, thighs, groin, or even upper back. Pain can also radiate down the back of the leg, causing many patients to confuse their condition with sciatica. Please call 860-621-2225 to schedule an appointment. 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.

“The drinking age is 21 — you show me some kids who would not be able to get some alcohol. Of course the kids are going to get involved in this as soon as they can. It’s our responsibility as adults to limit that exposure,” she said. Noting she is one of the founding members of the local anti-drug group, Southington Town-wide Effort to Promote Success, Triano said she’s “very much opposed” to permitting the sale of marijuana in town. “One of the things that I believe is if we have the authority to exercise some control over what happens in Southington, we should do it. I feel after 30 years of standing on the Green for
anti-drug rallies … no matter whatever the small amount we would gain from the tax on the sale would be against the well being of the children,” she said. Town attorney Jeremy Taylor is still investigating the process for prohibiting local sales of marijuana and is expected to deliver a report at the July 12 council meeting. Triano said it’s too soon to begin looking at the referendum process versus the town’s elected officials voting on the matter. Republican Town Council member Paul Chaplinsky Jr. said he’s waiting for Taylor’s report before forming an opinion on the route he would like to see Southington take, however he believes the voters elected the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission and council to take action on issues like this. “I think that the people of Southington elected the people on the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council as a representative form of government to
take the appropriate action and I have no doubt that we’ll do just that,” he said. The town committee statement also calls for any tax revenue from sales to be split evenly between public safety, youth services and prevention. According to the Connecticut Mirror, marijuana sales will be subject to the 6.35 percent state sales tax, a marijuana sales tax based on the amount of THC in the product and a 3 percent municipal tax. Since dispensaries will be opening throughout the state next year, Byrne said it’s not a matter of preventing access for residents who will be able to travel out of town to purchase marijuana. By not permitting local sales, she said the town will be missing out on revenue which could be used to fund prevention services for children. “These establishments are going to exist in the state of Connecticut and that is what it is.

Memorial Park’s original playscape was built in the 1970s and was in need of repair. In 2019, Rotary Club leaders committed to raising $100,000 for a new structure, and the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain contributed $50,000 to the project. In addition to private donations, the town contributed to the new playground, and town workers helped with the site preparation. The CFGNB made a $50,000 grant to the Town of Southington from the Louis G. and Ada C. Amodio Fund for Children, Alix W. Stanley Charitable Fund, and A. W. Stanley Discretionary Fund. The new playground is closer to the parking lot, easier to get to, and more visible. The new pirate-themed playscape was designed with expansion in mind, and also allows access for children in wheelchairs. If you are interested in leaving a legacy by starting your own charitable fund, contact Kaylah Milligan at 860-2296018 ext. 305 or email kaylah@cfgnb.org. Established in 1941, the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain is “Where Good Begins” in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington. Located at The Foundation Center at 74A Vine St., New Britain, the Foundation works to inspire philanthropy, responsibly manage permanent charitable assets, and partner to address key community issues through strategic leadership.
