Council move protects landmark farm By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
$800,000, which will be split by the state and town.
Town officials approved a deal Monday night that will prevent development on Karabin Farms, a purchase that’s been in the works for years.
The Town Council voted unanimously Monday night in favor of the purchase. Town leaders said the move preserves the town’s agricultural heritage, maintains open space and prevents housing sprawl.
By buying development rights, the town prevents owners of the 48-acre Karabin Farms from building on the land. The deal cost just under
“The parcel is a gem in our community,” said Paul Chaplinsky, a Town
Council member and chairman of the open space acquisition committee. Years ago, farm owners Diane and Mike Karabin asked if the town would be interested in buying development rights, according to Town Manager Mark Sciota. The deal included farmland preservation funding from the state Department of Agriculture.

Under the proposal, the town would pay $397,993 of the $795,986 price tag for the rights. The Karabins will still own the farm after the sale but will be restricted in what they can See Farm, A2

The town’s alternative high school was renamed to honor the memory of a longtime educator who volunteered at the school in her retirement.

Smith died May 21, a loss that hit close to home for students and staff as she spent much of her five years of retirement volunteering at Alta. Jessie Levin, the school’s director, said district administrators began discussing the renaming in July and he was immediately on board, adding that Smith had been his mentor. “When she went into remission, she started volunteering at Alta and what (started as) one day a week turned into three or four days a week,” Levin said. “She tutored students, she ran our book club. I can’t even list the number of singular charitable acts she did for kids.” Located within Derynoski Elementary School, the academy serves as an alternative high school for students who have not been successful in a traditional high school setting, accord-

Superintendent’s rebuke draws concern By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
Daniel Hart, a Southington High School teacher and teachers’ union president, requested the district move to remote-only learning through mid-January. Rising coronavirus cases, Hart said
He also shared a survey of more Connellan than 350 Southington teachers who were asked if they preferred a return to remote learning around holiday breaks. Nearly threequarters said they did. State education union officials also have pushed for

Connellan said state Department of Public Health officials have not expressed concerns about in-person learning and that studies show classrooms are safe for students.
‘Out of line’ David Falvo, a Board of Education member and a Windham High School teacher, called the superintendent’s response to Hart’s request “out of line.”
Connellan questioned the validity of Hart’s survey, its response rate and the wording of the question.
“It was not only a condescending response, it was also disheartening coming from the leader of our district,” Falvo said at Thursday’s school board meeting. “It’s our responsibility as board members to hold the superintendent accountable for his actions and his words.”
“A ‘survey’ with what is essentially a closed-end, oneway, leading question is less than acceptable,” Connellan wrote in an emailed response to Hart. “If I were your statistics professor or your college advisor overseeing a research study your design would be rejected due to the failure to account

“I was and still am of the opinion that the union leadership at the state and local levels are taking advantage of our teachers and playing on their fears to create an ‘us versus them mentality’ rather than trying to collaborate on what we need to help improve the situation,” Connellan said. “Our staff are doing amazing work in an incredibly difficult situation every day.” Throughout the district, about 4,000 students and their families have chosen in-person learning.
Remote learning remains an option for families that prefer it, he said. “To date, the Department of Public Health and the local health department have indicated that closing schools is not an appropriate acrossthe-board public health intervention at this time,” Connellan said.

tain in-person classes and that children are safe at school. But he’s gotten emails from teachers expressing “dismay” with Connellan’s response to the request.
Shane Lockwood, Southington-Plainville Regional Health District director, said he was comfortable with the actions taken by the school district. He said there’s been no consistent spread of coronavirus within the schools. Jeff Leake, Connecticut Education Association president, said in-person learning was a high-risk activity and requested either remote-only learning or more safety protocols in schools.

Board debate During Thursday’s meeting, Falvo read Hart’s email and was about to read Connellan’s response when he was cut off by board Chairwoman Terri Carmody. “I do not believe it is appropriate to be reading something that is going to be derogatory against a member of our administration or of our staff,” she said to Falvo. “I know what the next email is, and I don’t think I want you to read that.” “I want to make sure the teachers who emailed were heard,” Falvo said. “They were heard,” Carmody responded. “Of course all the teachers were heard. We all received the emails.” Other board members alluded to the email exchange as well during the panel’s Dec. 10 meeting.

difficult circumstances. He bemoaned “personal attacks and snarky wording,” and “poorly worded responses” in communications within the education community. Brown said students and teachers are better off in the classroom and that schools have been “extremely careful and safe.” That might change if infection rates continue to rise. “I ask that we consider the request to go virtual at least through the holiday week,” he said. “As numbers rise I worry we won’t be able to maintain the best and safest learning conditions in schools.” During the meeting, board Vice Chairman Joseph Baczewski said emotions were running high. “We all stumble. We’re all under a different set of stress,” Baczewski said. “Mr. Connellan and I have had our differences, but he’s a respectable person. I’m proud to be working with him.”

Restaurant reopens after an employee tests positive By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
After closing for a few days to conduct tests and clean following a positive COVID test by an employee, Anthony Jack’s Wood Fired Grill reopened Friday, Dec. 11, for lunch. The closure, tests and cleaning weren’t required by the Plainville-Southington Regional Health District, but owners Barry DePaolo and Cheryl Moran said it was the best thing for everyone. “It wasn’t a fun decision and
wasn’t an easy one, but we felt it was best under the circumstances,” Moran said. Local business and health leaders said they’re confident that indoor dining can be done safely despite concerns from some doctors who have petitioned Gov. Ned Lamont to close restaurants and gyms. On Monday, Lamont chose Manisha Juthani, a Yale School of Medicine physician and infectious disease researcher, to speak at his coronavirus briefing. Juthani called mealtimes high risk
events and was among the doctors who asked Lamont to close restaurants for indoor dining. Lamont hasn’t shown support for reverting to the restaurant closure he mandated earlier this year.
“No part of me is thinking they’re a danger,” Lockwood said. “I think the guidelines have made it safe for restaurants to open.”
Shane Lockwood, PlainvilleSouthington Regional Health District director, said the “overwhelming” majority of new coronavirus cases are spread by friend or family gatherings at home. The restrictions on seating and party size have “a lot of safety factors built in” for restaurants.
Barbara Hekeler, Southington Chamber of Commerce president, said Lamont has announced that some municipalities have asked for more statewide restrictions. She said he hasn’t named which municipal leaders have made such requests.
A second shutdown?
“The businesses have a right to know whether their local
government is supporting them or not supporting them,” Hekeler said. “They have spent thousands of dollars to make sure that their restaurants are meticulously maintained, to make sure their employees are well protected.” “Our businesses will never be able to handle another shutdown,” she said.

Timberlin Golf Course reports busiest season ever By Nadya Korytnikova The Citizen
Mike Deegan, of Berlin, hits a golf ball out of a sand trap at the seventh hole at the Timberlin Golf Course in Berlin on July 3.
While restaurants and businesses across the state struggle to create revenue, the game of golf has seen a bit of resurgence during the pandemic.

ee tests positive for coronavirus, Lockwood said, but there are recommendations. They include shutting down for 24 hours to clean the restaurant and perform contact tracing. Deep cleaning isn’t necessary, Lockwood said, since health officials now believe there’s very little transmission of the virus from surfaces. “Any spread in the restaurant is not associated with the surfaces or food,” he said. “The spread in a restaurant is that you’re usually sitting around in a group of people not your family without a mask on.” Moran consulted with the health department after an employee had a high temperature, something the restaurant monitors every day. The employee tested positive for coronavirus, leading to tests for other employees and a deep cleaning, including a fogging.
15 years, said 2020 was the busiest season so far. “I think that now that so many people have been exposed to the sport, the golf industry will continue growing in popularity, even after the COVID is resolved,” said Salvio.
“We got a lot of support when we announced the closing,” she said. “People were really supportive.” Hekeler said other restaurants in town have done similar things when faced with a COVID positive employee. The costs of closing are on top of the recent costs for cleaning supplies, plexiglass and other modifications. “Their choice to shut down is to continue to maintain the confidence the consumers have in visiting their business,” Hekeler said. Moran believes Lamont’s re-

cent increase of fines for pandemic restriction violations from $500 to $10,000 was a signal to restaurants that they would remain open but had to take precautions seriously. “I think he’s on our side, I really do,” she said. Many other restaurants were in precarious positions and Moran was concerned that not all would make it through the pandemic. “I feel like we’re one of the lucky ones,” she said. jbuchanan@record-journal.com 203-317-2230 Twitter: @JBuchananRJ
Vacant Homes and Insurance In our estate planning practice and our probate practice we often run into situations where clients have homes that are vacant for some period of time. Often when we are handling an estate and there is a vacant home my client may feel that if they don't tell the insurance company that the home is vacant then they won't face an increase in cost of insurance. I have asked a colleague, Dennis Morrissey from AAA Insurance, to outline some of the concerns regarding vacant properties: Do you own an additional home or secondary residence that is currently unoccupied? If no one lives in your home for thirty, sixty days or longer, a home insurance company may consider the property to be ‘vacant’ or ‘unoccupied’. Insurance companies view vacant and unoccupied homes to be at greater risk for damage. Therefore, these homes can be more difficult and more expensive to insure. A pending home sale or relocation, major renovation or property inheritance are common instances where occupancy may present an issue with home insurance. Often, there is a distinction to be drawn between unoccupied and vacant homes. A primary or secondary residence that is furnished, with utilities and which is suitable for living might be unoccupied for the time being- with the occupant’s return simply a matter of time. Vacant homes are often empty with an unknown timeline for occupancy. Vacancy can result from a change of circumstance, possibly affecting the ultimate ownership of the property. Regardless of the cause, leaving a property empty for an extended period could limit or even cancel your coverage. Don’t wait until you have a claim to learn that your coverage doesn’t fit your property. In situations where a home’s owner passes, the property will transfer to their spouse or estate. An insurance company will continue to insure the home in accordance with the terms of the policy, but notification of any change in the property’s condition, occupancy or ownership is an important step. Current homeowners insurance will very likely be transferred to a live-in spouse. With estates, however, existing insurance does not automatically extend to a beneficiary, so it is very important to be in contact with the home’s insurer to fully understand the terms of coverage, and any requirements in having that coverage either extended or re-written. It’s important to contact your insurance company or agent should the occupancy or ownership of a dwelling change. No matter the circumstance, it’s a necessary first step to ensure you are adequately protecting your property.

wanted to continue the tradition in her memory. Over the years, the display grew.

holiday season “They started out small with a few reindeer and then my dad just expanded every year and now it’s turned into this amazing holiday display,” Woodruff said. As it grew and gained attention, Woodruff came with the idea to collect for the food pantry. “Ever since I came up with that idea the amount of food has expanded every year,” Woodruff said. “This year we already collected just over 300 pounds of food. We have never collected that much food this early in December, so I definitely think we’re going to exceed 500 pounds.” Woodruff said her favorite aspect of hosting this display is bringing holiday cheer to others. “One thing that I love hearing is that parents will send me a message that their children get so excited to see the display that they can’t stop smiling for the rest of the night,” Woodruff said. “That’s probably one of the best feelings in the world knowing that we can keep the holiday spirit in almost everyone that comes and sees this beautiful display.”

“I started with my little shed in the backyard and then I figured after a couple of years, to let people see it more, I’ll move it to the front,” Brunelle said. “After that, years and years of just getting stuff, acquiring stuff, it has grown to be a huge show now.” Brunelle said this year his Christmas display is multi-media. “So it’s all run off a computer and you tune into the radio station, 92.9, and you actually could watch it, listen to the radio from a car and the music goes to the lights,” Brunelle said. Brunelle is also collecting non-perishable items for the Plainville food pantry in a box at the end of his driveway. He also has a mailbox for letters to Santa Claus.
Wallingford Originally, residents on South Main Street were going to decorate the outside of their homes for a week as a part of Wallingford’s 350th celebration. However, that was cancelled. So, for the recent Santa Car Parade, residents along the route decorated.
South Main Street that it would be nice for the homes to all be lit up with holiday decorations,” said Kathy Lilley, executive director of Wallingford Center Inc. “Erin was fabulous because she reached out to all the residents in her block and then we talked about it, and she added another block and she just kept going down South Main.”
effort to bring holiday joy, and a free, safe outing for residents,” said Amy and Brendan Blakeslee of 187 High St. Chrystal Rashba, of 76 Clifton St., also is participating.
Kevin Gaetano, of 271 S. Main St., decorates his house every year for the holidays.
“It was just a nice way of letting people know that we do have decorations up,” Rashba said. “… going around and looking at the lights with your family is always a fond memory of mine.”
“I keep it simple, pretty much no LED, but mostly white and red for the candy cane effect plus I have a big ‘Joy’ sign,” Gaetano said.
Bella Parisi, of 1262 Barnes Road, said her family is decorating for the contest after their Halloween effort became a huge hit.
The house next door has a lighted “Ditto” sign with an arrow pointing to Gaetano’s home.
“We were not going to decorate for Christmas until a few people messaged us through Facebook and asked if we were going to do another event,” Parisi said.
“It’s hysterical,” Benham said. “Everyone stops to look at (Gaetano’s house) and sees the (Ditto sign) next door.” Wallingford Community Women is hosting a holiday light contest until Dec. 26. “I just wanted to do something, especially during social distancing times, that everyone could enjoy and some people could participate in,” said Susan Blakey, a member of Wallingford Community Women.
Erin Benham, a South Main Street resident, helped Wallingford Center Inc., the Public Celebrations Committee and the Parks & Recreation Department contact homeowners about decorating.
People can drive around, check out the lights and then vote for their favorite display. All of the addresses of the houses that entered are on the Wallingford Community Women’s Facebook page.

Priscilla Torcello, who lives at 28 Third St., said her family entered the contest since her son and husband decorate every year. “It started with blow up decorations… The last few years we have graduated to other decorations,” Torcello said. “Including a huge sleigh … The last several years our display has changed.

One of the few bright spots of the dismal last nine months of the coronavirus pandemic have been schools. Once feared to be potential sources of outbreak, schools have fared comparatively well. Remote learning has helped. A hybrid system that includes both in-person and remote learning has helped. So has the practice of keeping students in cohorts when it comes to in-person learning, which leaves them at less risk for exposure.
One of the things that has also been learned is the value of in-person instruction. As essential as remote learning has become when it comes to continuing education, it’s just not the same. In recog-
nition of this, high school students in Southington are now being offered the option of attending school full-time in person. As the Record-Journal recently reported, more than half of the students at Southington High School have chosen to learn entirely from home. That has obviously reduced in-person class sizes and allowed the new opportunity. About 120 students in a survey said they’d prefer to attend school in person five days a week.
While approval from the school board wasn’t required, the move has support. Joseph Baczewski, the school board vice chairman, See Editorial, A17

Merry Christmas from Elim Park!
This year, give yourself the gift of carefree living
noted that advantages to inperson learning include a return to normalcy and the social advantages sitting in front of a computer screen simply can’t provide. The new option allows families to make a choice. Some may feel safer by keeping their students at home. But others may feel comfortable and ready to take advantage of the opportunity. “The children need to be in school not only for the academics, but for the social, the mental well-being of kids,” said Terri Carmody, board chairwoman. “They need to be in school with a teacher in front of them. Not all parents are going to feel that way and I respect their feelings.”
There’s still time to take advantage of our year-end incentives—and take the next step towards a vibrant, maintenance-free lifestyle in 2021!
Come live with confidence at Elim Park.
With the recent upsurge in COVID-19 cases, there’s concern about in-person learning, but so far “we have not seen any type of consistent spread inside the school setting,” noted Shane Lockwood, Plainville-Southington Regional Health District director.
203.303.4567 elimpark.org
As long as that remains the case, there’s no reason why students and families who are comfortable can’t take advantage of the many advantages that go with in-person learning. It’s a good move by Southington to give them that choice.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE
State electors cast all 7 votes for Biden and Harris By Susan Haigh Associated Press
HARTFORD — All seven of Connecticut’s electors cast their ballots Monday for Democratic President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris in an unusual, socially distanced ceremony at the state Capitol that some electors called an honor of a lifetime, especially during these politically turbulent times. “I am positively thrilled. I have to tell you that this is
the most exciting day of my life,” said John Kalamarides, a former chairman of the Wilton Democratic Town Committee. He added it was “disturbing” to see Republican President Donald Trump and his supporters question the validity of the election. “It’s extraordinarily scary stuff. And democracy is so fragile,” he said. The 45-minute ceremony was held inside the state Senate chamber, located on
the third floor of a mostly empty state Capitol building. The building has been closed for months to the public because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Capitol Police had no reports of protestors.

Ninety-four-year old William Smith, a longtime member of the Democratic Party in Hartford, wore a mask that read “VOTE.” Smith said he considers this “the most monumental election we’ve ever had” in the U.S., noting it was a particular honor as a Black man to cast his ballot for Harris, the first person of color and the first woman elected vice president. “That’s a long way from the slave ship,” he said. There was no pomp and circumstance this year, including no color guard.

Balletto Jr. of East Haven. They were elected at the Democratic state convention in May. It was “probably the most unusual meeting” of the Electoral College since the first meeting in 1789, Secretary of the State Denise Merrill acknowledged.

Winter driving safety tips and advice As the first day of winter approaches in less than two weeks, police and travel officials remind residents to stay safe when they hit the roads. Frank Mayko, spokeswoman for AAA Northeast, said they advise drivers to go slow and increase following distances during winter weather. Drivers that become stuck in snow or ice are reminded to stay with their vehicle and draw attention by tying a brightly colored cloth to their antenna.
Wallingford police Lt. Cheryl Bradley said police want to remind residents that even in early winter wet roads have the potential to ice over night. “What may look like wet roads could actually be iced over in areas,” Bradley said Friday. “After a snowfall, it is state law that all snow needs to be removed from the hood, roof and trunk of vehicles before operation.” She said violators put other drivers at risk and face a $120 fine. “Overall, we want motorists to be safe at all times,” Bradley said. “The beginning of the winter season is often an adjustment period for operators until they get used to driving in snow and ice again. This is especially true for newly licensed operators who lack the experience.” Bradley said that since the pandemic began in March
“...With the reduced traffic on the roadways we have seen a reduction in motor vehicle crashes,” Egan said of the recent data. “We have also had a decrease in the number of violations overall.” Durkee said based on the last three months data, reports of accidents, motor vehicle related arrests and warnings
Mayko said during the pandemic they have received

Cheshire police Lt. Michael Durkee also noted checking on the condition of a vehicle before driving it in the winter, including making sure the headlights, turn lights, and wipers are working properly. He also advised residents to give themselves extra time in bad weather.
“We (AAA Northeast which covers Litchfield, Fairfield and New Haven Counties) have seen an increase in the number of battery-related calls since the start of the pandemic,” Mayko said in an email Thursday. “... we have seen an increase in the number of jump starts and battery replacements because people simply aren’t using their cars for extended commutes, local errands or holiday travel.”
