Lamont visits Sign Pro, promotes Connecticut made product agenda By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
Monday afternoon, Gov. Ned Lamont walked past a van wrapped with a blue logo featuring a peacock, the mascot of St. Peter’s University in New Jersey. Then he walked past a vintage truck, which boasted rows of beer taps along its sides. It will soon bear the logo of a local craft beer brewery. Both vehicles were parked along the manufacturing floor of the Sign Pro building on Westfield Drive. The 40,000-square-foot Plantsville facility has been in operation for four years. Last year, it became fully so-

Today’s adoptable pets are Chin, 5 months, and Waddles, 1 year-old. These kitties are best friends that need to stay together forever. They are both incredibly friendly, loving, and playful. Chin will sleep by your head and Waddles will curl up by your legs. What’s better than two warm fluffy kittens! As a bonus, they are both polydactyl. Waddles had an injury to his back leg at birth, but the doctor says it will not affect him negatively in any way as he grows. It doesn’t stop him from jumping and running after his playmate. These two need a caring family to give them a loving home together. Contact southingtonanimalrescue@gmail.com.

Understanding Medicare’s Hospice Benefit
Faith
Caring for a loved one during the final stages of life is difficult both physically and emotionally. Thankfully, Medicare can help ease the burden. Medicare’s hospice benefit covers any care that is reasonable and necessary for easing the course of a terminal illness. It is one of Medicare’s most comprehensive benefits and can be extremely helpful to both a terminally ill individual and his or her family, but it is little understood and underutilized. Understanding what is offered ahead of time may help Medicare beneficiaries and their families make the difficult decision to choose hospice if the time comes. The focus of hospice is palliative care, which helps people who are terminally ill and their families maintain their quality of life. Palliative care addresses physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual needs while supporting the terminally ill individual’s independence, access to information and ability to make choices about health care. To qualify for Medicare’s hospice benefit, a beneficiary must be entitled to Medicare Part A, and a doctor must certify that the beneficiary has a life expectancy of six months or less. If the beneficiary lives longer than six months, the doctor can continue to certify the patient for hospice care indefinitely. The beneficiary must agree to give up any treatment to cure his or her illness and elect to receive only palliative care. This can seem overwhelming, but beneficiaries can also change their minds at any time. It’s possible to revoke the benefit and re-elect it later, and to do so as often as needed. Medicare will cover any care that is reasonable and necessary for easing the course of a terminal illness. Hospice nurses and doctors are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to give beneficiaries support and care when needed. Services are usually provided in the home. The Medicare hospice benefit offers: ■ Physician and nurse practitioner services ■ Nursing care ■ Medical appliances and supplies ■ Drugs for symptom management and pain relief ■ Short-term inpatient and respite care ■ Homemaker and home health aide services ■ Counseling ■ Social work services ■ Spiritual care ■ Volunteer participation ■ Bereavement services Services are considered appropriate if they are aimed at improving the beneficiary’s life and making him or her more comfortable. Because the beneficiary is electing palliative care over treatment, there are things the hospice benefit will not cover:

■ Treatment to cure the beneficiary’s illness ■ Prescription drugs, other than those for symptom control or pain relief ■ Care from a provider that wasn’t arranged by the hospice team, although the beneficiary can choose to have his or her regular doctor serve as the attending medical professional ■ Room and board. If the beneficiary is in a nursing home, hospice will not pay for room and board costs. However, if the hospice team determines that the beneficiary needs short-term inpatient care or respite care services, Medicare will cover a stay in a facility. ■ Care from a hospital, either inpatient or outpatient, or ambulance transportation, unless arranged by the hospice team. The beneficiary can use regular Medicare to pay for any treatment not related to the beneficiary’s terminal illness.

Man pleads guilty in robbery, kidnapping
Hope, support
By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff
Hope and Support Groups provide a safe and confidential space for parents, guardians and all others dealing with a loved one’s disease of substance abuse or addiction. The group is led by two trained facilitators, a licensed professional and a para-professional with lived experience. Recognizing that this disease affects entire families, the group provides a forum to share openly while receiving peer support, information and compassion, thus breaking the stigma and isolation created by the disease. The group meets from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month at the Middlefield Federated Church, 402 Main St., Middlefield.
SOUTHINGTON — One man pleaded guilty and a second man is due to go to trial next week in connection with a 2017 bank robbery and kidnapping. Norman Renaldi, 43, of Meriden, was charged in June 2017 with first-degree robbery, second-degree larceny, attempted carjacking, engaging police in pursuit, interfering with police, possession of narcotics and three counts of criminal attempt to commit second-degree kidnapping. On Thursday he pleaded guilty to seconddegree robbery, attempt to commit second-degree kidnapping and conspiracy to commit second-degree robbery. He is due to
be sentenced on Dec. 20 and is held on $250,000 bond.

guilty to all charges. He is scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Monday for a jury trial and is held on $15,000 bond. On June 18, 2017 police say Renaldi entered the People’s Bank branch inside Stop & Shop supermarket at 505 N. Main St. and handed the teller a note demanding money. He got into a red minivan operated by a man later identified as Lamar McCarthy, that drove north on Route 10. When an officer tried to stop the van in the area of the Walmart store, it did a U-turn, struck another vehicle, and drove south on Route 10. At the intersection of North Main and Curtiss streets, a tire went flat but

lected DNA evidence at the scene. At Southington Coffee House, 51 N. Main St., entry was gained through a door in a common hallway, Elliott said. An unspecified amount of cash was stolen.
SOUTHINGTON — Police are investigating weekend burglaries at Southington Powersports and Southington Coffee House.
Police are canvassing surrounding businesses for surveillance video that could help identify the suspects. Elliott said the owners of the coffee house left between 10 and 11 p.m. Saturday and returned at 6 a.m. Sunday.
Police responded to Southington Powersports, 172 Flanders St., Sunday morning and discovered a window was pried open, Lt Stephen Elliott said. A safe containing an iPad, documents and petty cash was stolen, said owner Jaime Sewell.
The cafe opened for business less than a month ago.
“It’s very upsetting we have to deal with something like this,” Sewell said.
Sewell said a $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest
Sewell estimated the total loss to his business at about $1,500. He said police col-

Saving the pollinators
IT’S TIME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL
“Pollinators need your help! There is increasing evidence that many pollinators are in decline.”
Does your child have everything they need?
This warning comes from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, which tells us that some of the hummingbirds, bats, bees, beetles and butterflies that help pollinate over 75 percent of our flowering plants and food crops are endangered. Without them, we would miss many fruits, nuts and vegetables because they all depend on pollinators.
BOOKS PENCILS BACKPACK
SELF-ESTEEM RESPECT
That’s why the FWS is encouraging people to build pollinator gardens and establish pollinator pathways — and that’s just what’s happening in Southington and elsewhere in this area. Southington town leaders are looking for residents and businesses to join them in creating pathways — yards and other areas free of pesticides that have plants for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. There’s a new pollinator garden in the works at the Novick property on Flanders Road — created this summer with a grant from the Greater New Britain Community Foundation — and residents are encouraged to take similar

steps on their own land. There's also a pollinator garden near the YMCA, created by Kelley School students and teachers. In Middlefield there’s now a pollinator patch in the Giving Garden, which was built last year by Coginchaug Area Transition. The Quinnipiac River Watershed Association has a butterfly and bee garden on Oregon Road in Meriden. And the North Haven Garden Club maintains two pollinator gardens, one at the Historical Society building and another at Todds Pond. But pollinators are still threatened by pesticides, which is why the FWS urges people to avoid or limit pesticide use: “Pesticides can kill more than the target pest. Some pesticide residues can kill pollinators for several days after the pesticide is applied.” Great examples of community service, these commendable local efforts to provide safe habitat for helpful creatures can mean fun and educational opportunities for both adults and children, and are helping keep crucial pollinators alive and thriving in our area.

in either incident. Sewell advised other business owners in the area to be alert and aware.
“The Barnes were a wealthy, influential family in town. What set them apart was their philanthropy. They were a close family and they cared about their community. (A living museum) is a special way you can offer more connection. You catch (the Barnes family) in a moment in time,” said Kristi Sadowski, executive director of the Barnes Museum and the Southington Public Library.
“We’ve been very blessed. Perhaps one of my grandchildren will take over the house. I wish to keep it in the family, you see,” Bradley said, enacted by RM McCarty. We move up the stairs, encountering Leila Barnes (Bonnie Plourde) in her bedroom as she paints gladiolas and dishes for a moment about wanting to go to an auction near their summer home in Guilford to buy more crystal goblets. In the dressing room, Alice Bradley (Kelly Smith) gushes about her upcoming nuptial. Fast-forward 30 years, and we see Bradley Barnes as a young man, played by Keegan Smith, in his bedroom, mulling the loss of his grandmother and recalling the toys she gave him as a child. Finally, in the living room, we meet Barnes again, this time as an old man, mulling his legacy and contemplating whether to leave his family home to his beloved Southington community.

Marie Secondo, one of the museum’s curators, crafted the scripts using 52 family diaries as a reference point. The Barnes family meticulously documented their own lives, not only in the diaries containing their dayto-day affairs, but through keeping every receipt and noting every single purchase throughout their lives. With this trove of informa-
tion at her disposal, she hopes to make the living museum a major production, adding the stories of many other family members. “It’s been phenomenal. This is my 18th year at the museum and it’s as if the family is still in residence here,” she said. newsroom@ record-journal.com

The Town Green on Sunday was the setting of a unique outdoor five-course dinner featuring entrees cooked by local chefs with local ingredients. Southington Community Cultural Arts organized the “Dinner Under the Stars” event, a first for the organization. All 106 tickets to the dinner sold out. Proceeds benefit SoCCA’s All Access program, which provides opportunities to adults with cognitive disabilities, and the Lewis Educational Agricultural Farm. Susan Urillo Larson, vice president of SoCCA’s board of directors, co-organized the event with Mary Gonzalez, another SoCCA board member. They hope to make the dinner an annual event.

said to Sign Pro employees who gathered in front of a podium on the manufacturing floor. “It’s companies like this that are the future of the state.” Richard C. Mullins, Sign Pro’s vice president of business development, said the company has been in business for close to three decades and has nearly 70 employees. Mullins and other company executives support legislation that would give local companies preference on state contracts.
Sign Pro designs and builds signs. It also provides clients with information on local permits and regulations. Projects the company is working on include a state office building in Hartford, work for the Coca-Cola plant in South Windsor and a new gateway sign for the University of Connecticut’s Storrs campus. The company also collaborated on New Britain’s Bee Hive Bridge project. Peter Rappoccio, the company’s president and founder, said the facility was de-
“That’s basically to stay ahead of the demand,” Rappoccio said. He said the industry standard to complete projects from concept to finished sign is eight to 10 weeks. Sign Pro aims for two weeks. Rappoccio said he was delighted by Lamont’s comments. “I think everyone wants to see Connecticut businesses grow,” he said. Lamont spoke with Myra Gratton, of Bristol, who works as an express designer. He asked what background she needed to be hired. “Creativity,” Gratton said. When Lamont asked what tools designers use, Gratton told him, “A little bit of everything.” She said Adobe Illustrator is their primary software tool. Gratton has worked at Sign Pro for almost two years. She enjoys the creative freedom and described the company as being “like a family.” State Rep. Liz Linehan, DCheshire, who did not attend the tour, but was reached by phone afterward, is hopeful legislation that would require state agencies to consider a contract’s net economic impact on the lo-
cal economy will pass this year. Awarding contracts to local companies keeps state residents employed, generates payroll tax revenue and helps other businesses, like restaurants and gas stations.

“These are all things that would contribute to the economy,” Linehan said. State Rep. John Fusco, RSouthington, said he also supports helping companies like Sign Pro be competitive, but feels the problem is the cost of doing business in Connecticut. “It makes our businesses unable to be competitive — that’s the first problem,” Fusco said. “The cost of the state becomes prohibitive for them to move forward and be successful.”

I recently took a vacation to Wyoming and spent time in the Grand Teton National Park and the world famous Yellowstone National Park. It was a unique experience as I was able to hike trails and view various mountain ranges and glacial lakes. At Yellowstone, I toured an area of the park where a super volcano lays dormant as magma close to the surface causes wondrous displays of geothermal activity. I saw the world famous “Old Faithful” geyser erupt, took sight of a 300 foot waterfall, witnessed several various

Ragged Mountain rises more than 500 feet from the valley below and peaks at a modest 761 feet in elevation.The mountain has several miles of hiking trails including a portion of the 60-plus mile Metacomet Trail. However, Ragged is best known for its numerous rock formations and numerous brownish colored traprock cliffs which in some spots exceed more than one hundred feet in vertical length.

of Connecticut’s ground to split open and result in volcanic flows. These flows would become Ragged and several other mountains in the central part of the state. In the 1930s, the cliffs of Ragged and nearby Sleeping Giant Park would be testing ground for some of the earliest technical rock climbers in the United States. Some of the country’s most difficult routes were set at Ragged at a time when most climbers used primitive safety equipment which included ropes made from plant/animal
According to the publication, Trap Rock Ridges of Connecticut: Natural History & Land Use, those cliffs were formed more than 200 million years ago when continental shifting caused parts

fibers and pitons hammered into cliff walls to prevent ground falls. Mountaineering pioneer Fritz Wiessner, who did first ascents on famous mountains worldwide, was also the first to climb and name some of the routes on Ragged’s cliffs. As climbing equipment improved in safety and mobility, climbers would venture to bigger and more difficult climbing areas in the country and overseas. While most climbers book their climbing vacations at places such as Yosemite National Park in California or closer by at the White Mountain in New Hampshire and the Shawangunks in nearby New York, many advanced rock climbers will still make a trip to Ragged to scale popular routes such as Wiessner Crack, Wiessner Slab, Vector, Unconquerable Crack and Broadway. The mountain, a picture of beauty and challenge, is also one of danger. Over the years, both climbers and hikers have perished from falls off the cliffs. Kevin West is the owner of Stone Age Rock Gym in Manchester and a rock climbing guide who has given many lessons at Ragged Mountain, he encourages visitors to be aware of their surroundings.“Hikers and climbers should take note that every few years there are accidents on these cliffs,” West cautioned. “The sport of climbing bears inherent risk.

the markets have sort of shifted away from just produce – giving people more of a one-stop-shop and encouraging people to buy from local, smaller business owners.” DelMonte, who works for the Southington YMCA, has been coordinating this year’s market with Karen DiGirolamo. The market is hosted primarily by Activate Southington, a nonprofit made up of several town organizations, including the YMCA. The market also offers activities, including live music, storytime with the public library and a Zumba Pound class. “The sense of community here on the town green has been really nice,” DelMonte said. Debbie D'Angelo, of Southington, said she tries to make it to the market every week, usually to pick up produce for herself and her mother-in-law. They normally opt for corn, lettuce and cucumbers.
and tomato sauces, and eggs and meats. “It’s always picked fresh, it’s from our fields, from my family to your fork,” said Henry Greszcyk, owner and harvest manager. Other frequent vendors include Twin Pines Farm of Thomaston, Rooster’s Rise Farm of Berlin, Wave Hill Breads of Norwalk, The Bakery on the Ave of Berlin, Gulf Shrimp Company of Plantsville, and Tasty Empanadas of Thomaston. Everything available at the market is “CT Grown” – either made in Connecticut or made with products from Connecticut. “I think it’s just been a really great opportunity to walk around and meet people from the community and to support these local businesses,” DelMonte said. “It’s really great that Activate Southington has stayed together and really kept this market alive this year.”
The farmers market will continue through the last Friday of October. It’s open “I love being able to come from 3 to 6 p.m. on the down here and get the Town Green.
