ELECTION 2019

State, federal issues cited in local GOP sweep By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff

Frustration with national politics, state taxes and possible highway tolls played a role in a sweeping Republican victory on Nov. 5, according to former and current politicians of both parties.

Republicans posted large signs throughout town saying Democrats shouldn’t take credit for recent low tax rates and that local Democrats had supported state tolls. Every Republican candidate won election night, keeping or gaining the maximum number of seats the

party is allowed by law on every board and commission. “The Republicans were wise tying the local election to the state issues,” said Cheryl Lounsbury, a Republican and former town councilor who’s worked on statewide campaigns. “The Republicans tied it to

the state and I think people are getting more and more upset with the state.” The tax on plastic bags is one of the small but noticeable tax increases that has angered some, Lounsbury said. It’s something people think See Election, A13

School board OK’s raises for non-union employees By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff

Ragged Mountain will host the second annual Run Ragged Trail Race, a “Last Man Standing” endurance event, next May 30. Participants run a 3.1-mile course every hour until only one runner is left.

straddles the Southington and Berlin town line.

The Run Ragged Trail Race tests the human body to its limits and will return again for its second year in 2020.

Run Ragged is the only “Last Man Standing” event held in Connecticut. Participants run a technical 5K trail loop starting every hour on the hour. They have one hour to complete the 3.1-mile course. The cycle continues until there is one runner left.

The May 30 event will again be staged by the CT Trailmixers running club at Ragged Mountain, which

The 2019 winner was New Jersey’s Scott Snell. He won the event after 31 hours and just under 100 miles. There are three directors staging the event: Karen Prado of Wethersfield, Brian Roccapriore of Clinton and Stefan Rodriguez of Berlin. The CT Trailmixers, a nonprofit organization, began in 2015. The group holds two races a year at Southington’s Camp Sloper. On Nov. 24, the See Race, A2

The Board of Education unanimously approved raises for non-union employees and administrators, including Superintendent of Schools Tim Connellan, at its Oct. 24 meeting. The non-union employees will Connellan receive the salary increases in the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2020. The raises for non-union employees follow a favorable performance review for Connellan by the board last month. He’ll receive a 2.5 percent increase for the 2020-21 fiscal year. His salary will rise from $200,000 to $205,000. See Raises, A13

Race From A1

CT Trailmixers is staging The Fall Fling 400 at Camp Sloper. To register for that and any of the group’s events, visit cttrailmixers.com. The Traprock 50K/17K trail race is held in Simsbury on the Saturday before the Boston Marathon. But the Last Man Standing race is something unique. “It’s the only one of its kind in its state,” Roccapriore said. “The race with no actual finish line, which can screw with people. Last year, it went more than [30] hours before there was a finisher. If two people are left, the last

person still has to do the last loop. There’s a mental toughness not knowing when it’s not going to end.” As the night went on during the 2019 race, more and more of the 50-runner field dropped off. The race directors won’t know if Snell will return to defend his title until registration opens up in early December. “The night claims a lot of people going up and down Ragged Mountain with a head lamp on,” Roccapriore said. “Every shadow you see, you think is a bear.” Sixty percent of the athletes were from Connecticut and 40 percent came from out of state. “Connecticut has a tremen-

dous trail running community,” Roccapriore said. “But if runners are interested in joining, join our Facebook group and try out a social run that we have every weekend. Once they get there, endurance running is not as hard as they think it is.” As far as spectators go, Roccapriore said the Last Man Standing race is one of the group’s better events to watch because of the hourly starts. The winner gets no cash prize, but will receive a custom trophy. ”This is a great chance to see how much endurance someone can have and what the human body is capable of. No one is getting rich doing this,” Roccapriore said. “It’s just for the love of the sport.”

Connecticut Domestic Asset Protection Trusts On June 24, 2019, Connecticut enacted HB 7104, adopting the Uniform Trust Act. One important provision of the act was the “Connecticut Qualified Dispositions in Trust Act,” permitting the establishment of self-settled domestic asset protection trusts (DAPTs), which provide spendthrift creditor protection to the settlors. As of the effective date of Jan. 1, 2020, Connecticut will become the 19th state to have DAPT-enabling legislation. The other 18 states are Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. The Connecticut DAPT law is similar to the statutes of the other states that permit DAPTs. Either the owner of property or the holder of general power of appointment can transfer assets to a Connecticut DAPT. The transfer of assets to the Connecticut DAPT must be a “qualified disposition.” To be a qualified disposition, the Connecticut DAPT must be irrevocable; have a “qualified trustee” as one of the trustees; incorporate Connecticut law to govern the validity, construction and administration of the Connecticut DAPT; and have a spendthrift clause. The Connecticut DAPT must have a “qualified trustee,” which is either an individual residing in Connecticut or an entity authorized by Connecticut law to act as a trustee. Qualified trustees must: 1. maintain or arrange for the custody of the property in the trust, 2. maintain records of the trust on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, 3. prepare or arrange for the preparation of all tax returns, and 4. materially participate in the administration of the trust. The act addresses the consequences if a non-Connecticut court seeks to assert jurisdiction over a Connecticut DAPT or apply the law of a state other than Connecticut. The act provides that if a court declines to apply Connecticut law in determining the effect of a spendthrift provision in a Connecticut DAPT, the trustee must immediately resign and thereafter can transfer the trust property only to another trustee. The only claims of creditors that can be enforced against the assets in a Connecticut DAPT are: 1. fraudulent transfer claims under the Connecticut Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, 2. child support obligations, 3. marital support obligations, and 4. tort claims arising prior to the transfer of assets to the Connecticut DAPT. Claims are subject to a four-year statute-of-limitations period. Transferors can have certain rights and powers with respect to the Connecticut DAPT. The following provisions can be included in a Connecticut DAPT for a transferor: 1. The transferor can have the power to veto a distribution from the trust. 2. The transferor can have a testamentary limited power of appointment.

223912

3. The transferor can have the right to remove a trustee or trust director and appoint a new trustee or trust director who is not a related or subordinate party under Section 672(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. This statute offers a unique opportunity for individuals to protect assets from future claims and creditors while allowing a great deal of control over the assets placed in trust. If you find this opportunity intriguing, please contact us for an appointment.

COMMENTARY

Despite healthy economic stats, many households need help By Olivia L. Lawrence The Southington Citizen

Here are a few statistics about household wealth in Southington. According to City-data.com, a website that analyzes data from a bunch of government and private sources, the estimated median household income in Southington, in 2016, was $82,815 – for the state it was $73,433. Compare this to 2000 when the median income for Southington was $60,538.

Adopt an individual or family: Contact the SCS office to adopt an individual or family. You will be given a list of suggested items for each individual including sizes where appropriate. You then can shop for that individual for holiday gifts which will be returned to our office for distribution. For information, call 860-628-3761.

WHY CHOOSE US?

As you read through the list of what SCS needs for holiday giving it’s pretty basic and it might get you thinking – for instance, how much for granted do most of us take the enjoyment of a nice new set of potholders, kitchen towels or bed sheets or bath towels? New pajamas or slippers? A book of postage stamps? Those are just a few of the items on the SCS wish list for distribution to its clients this holiday.

Raises From A1

Connellan was hired in 2014 to replace Joseph V. Erardi Jr. “The board appreciates Mr. Connellan’s humble, calm and focused approach to his profession as superintendent,” said board Chairman Brian Goralski. “His passionate dedication to the education of every student is the best indicator of his effective leadership. The board looks forward to continuing our work with Mr. Connellan.”

that he received the amount of money that’s due to the job he does.”

Most of the wages increased 2 to 2.5 percent. The largest increase was a 4 percent raise for Assistant Superintendent Steven Madancy. His salary will go from $175,000 to $182,000.

Carmody said his work had been “excellent.”

She also had high praise for Connellan, saying she was pleased with the way he dealt with other town boards, school employees and parents.

Southington has only one assistant superintendent, while other districts have two or more, according to Carmody. Madancy had been “underpaid” and the raise brought his salary to an appropriate level, she added.

Goralski, a Republican, didn’t run for re-election. The board vice chairwoman, Terri Carmody, was among a

about every time they shop. “People are just fed up,” she said. “This maybe was their way of protesting.” Tony D’Angelo, a Democrat and former town councilor, said the Republicans ran an aggressive campaign and agreed that they tapped into anger at state leaders including Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont.

Democrats argued it was a state issue and not within the council’s purview. Lombardi said the backlash from towns about tolls has sent a message to Lamont. He said local politicians should also be held accountable for their stance on the issue.

Palmieri said he was proud of the last two years and wouldn’t have done anything differently.

“The savings impacts the current year, next year and the years beyond,” Connellan said. Peter Romano, the district’s operations director, took on more duties after the retirement of a member of his staff. The position wasn’t filled, Carmody said, resulting in the savings.

A retirement allowed Connellan to reorganize the operations department. For the unaffiliated employees other than himself, Connellan said there’s a reduction of $35,000 this fiscal year from the previous. He’s also projecting $30,000 lower overall wages next fiscal year over the current one.

Romano will receive a 2.5 percent raise in the upcoming year. His salary will go from $141,000 to $144,525.

Three of the Republican council candidates, Paul Chaplinsky, Jim Morelli and Michael DelSanto, serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission. D’Angelo said Republicans had candidates with recognized names in town while Democrats had more newcomers. The two non-incumbent Democratic council candidates were Val Depaolo, a li-

STRONG FINISH FOR BKMB SEASON

Southington High School’s Blue Knights Marching Band finished its successful season at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Saturday, Nov. 9. The band faced tough competition, but ultimately earned a second place finish with a score of 95.375. Only 0.225 points separated second through fourth place, and found Southington besting in-state rivals Trumbull (4th) and Cheshire (7th). The BKMB will be seen at Friday’s football game, the last performance of its Fall 2019 show “Where The Sidewalk Ends.” In addition to the band’s seasonal concerts, it also will be featured in the Walt Disney World parade on Valentine’s Day.
