COMMENTARY
Monday is no ordinary holiday Celebrated on the first Monday of September, Labor Day has been a federal holiday in the United States since Congress made it so in 1894 during the second administration of President Grover Cleveland. So what is the day for?
A post on the Paulie’s Push Facebook page states: “We can’t thank fire departments along the route here in CT enough for joining Paulie out on the road, escorting and even walking alongside him. Throughout the day Tuesday Paulie was joined by Portland Fire, Middletown North & South Fire Districts, and the Durham Fire Department.” Paulie’s Push, Facebook
Man undertaking solemn 9/11 journey cheered in Durham Retired flight attendant Paul Veneto is pushing an airline beverage cart from Boston Logan International Airport, and through Connecticut, en route to Ground Zero in New York City to mark the 20year anniversary of 9/11.
Veneto says he knew the crew on United Airlines Flight 175. That aircraft was slammed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
Labor Day seems a non-controversial occasion to observe the dignity of labor and the contribution of the working men and women of the country, a phrase we're apt to toss off without thinking about it. Indeed, although it is Labor Day, it is an occasion upon which we generally do not work, unless we happen to be in emergency services or public safety. (Or work at a newspaper!) Labor? Most of us work, don't we? On Labor Day, Americans celebrate and honor hard work! It's not as simple as that.
Veneto states, “I am doing this because I want these crew members’ families to know how courageous they were that day. I want the public to understand that under those
Labor Day was a creation of the union movement and far from universally accepted. Indeed, there was a lot of strife in this country as workers in the countless factories, varied industries and all sorts of occupations struggled to make personal workplaces safer. Owners of many of those factories and the presidents and stockholders of cor-

Local golfer, 75, impresses at Meriden Open Doug Linder was one of the more remarkable stories at the 2021 Meriden Open, held at Hunter Golf Course. A 16-time club champ at Lyman Orchards between
1970-2000, the 75-year-old Linder put himself in contention against much younger golfers by essentially shooting his age for the tournament — a first-round 74 followed by Sunday’s 76.
On Sunday, Linder’s group included the eventual tournament champion, 31-yearold Mike Monopoli, and Luis Datil. Monopoli shot a 4-overpar 75 to hold off his playing partners by two strokes.
“There were a few holes where I’m hitting rescue clubs into the greens and they’re hitting an 8- and 9-iron,” said Linder, a Durham resident. “This guy Mike, he was all day. One time, I counted, he

Take your kitchen scraps, walk to the countertop pail, deposit scraps in compostable bag, store full compostable bags in six-gallon bin, drive to the recycling bins at the Durham-Middlefield Transfer Station on Mondays or Saturdays. These are small steps for residential homeowners, but giant steps for reducing trash.
One can appreciate that the bags are an alternative to landfills and trash to energy
It is time for local citizens to adopt a compost program for our benefit. To make this possible, three community organizations saw the need for trash reduction – The Coginchaug Area Transition group, the DMIABB Transfer Station, and the Coginchaug Valley Educational Foundation. These groups have made available composting kits, which include a countertop kitchen collection basket, compostable bags, and a five-gallon garbage collection bin. Residents can purchase a kit from the Middlefield Land Use/Building Office or from the office of the First Selectwoman in Durham.

The compost bins at the Transfer Station are serviced by Blue Earth Compost Company and transported to an anaerobic digester facility in Southington. The compostable bags are comprised of a thin material – much thinner than grocery store bags. These small, two gallon bags are fully biodegradable, built by BioBagAmericas from raw material, and developed for durability and strength.
Hauling garbage further afield will be more expensive in terms of time, taxes, transportation, and location.

Lead testing rates in children have dropped during pandemic By Jareliz Diaz Record-Journal staff
Lead in older homes
Health officials are raising concern about a dramatic drop in testing for lead exposure that resulted from the precautions necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic. “Due to COVID-19 restrictions, it is difficult to accurately count the number of incidents of lead poisoning, whether due to doctor’s reluctance to send kids for testing, parents’ reluctance to go get their kids tested, drawing stations being closed to the public, and other factors,” said Rodney Delgado, environmental health sanitarian at the Meriden Health and Human Services Department. Nationally, lead testing rates for children have dropped since the beginning of the pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that half a million fewer children in reporting jurisdictions were tested for lead exposure during the first five months of 2020 than during the same period in 2019. In Meriden, there were 359 inspections related to lead exposure between July 2020 and July 2021. The city’s Department of Health and Human Services has 14 open cases that require abatement and 31 cases that don’t require abatement. In that time period, Meriden had 66 known cases of children who tested positive for lead, Delgado said. Before the 1970s, lead was commonly used in paint. In 1978 lead-based paints were banned for residential use, after it was discovered that lead posed a health risk for children. Latino, Black and other minority communities are generally considered at higher risk because they tend to occupy older buildings.
Asked how prevalent lead poisoning is in Meriden, Delgado responded, “Meriden is a very old town, with many buildings/structures built prior to 1978. With this, the risk of lead poisoning is present. Once the lead-based paint is disturbed, becomes defective, or deteriorated, this increases the risk of lead poisoning.” This photo taken by Rodney Delgado, an environmental health sanitarian, shows lead paint present in a Meriden residence. Courtesy Meriden Department of Health and Human Services
“Children who live in households at or below the federal poverty level and those who live in housing built before 1978 are at the greatest risk of lead exposure. Also, communities of color are at a higher risk of lead exposure because they may not have access to safe, affordable housing or face discrimination when trying to find a safe, healthy place to live,” the CDC states.
Testing requirements
Rick Macri, of RSR properties, has purchased mostly foreclosed real estate in Meriden for the past 20 years. He says from his experience, lead doesn’t seem to be a big problem in Meriden, but every home purchased is checked for lead.
Connecticut requires lead testing for children twice when they’re between 9 and 36 months old.

Ritter: Lawmakers should get vaccine or tests By Mark Pazniokas © The Connecticut Mirror
State lawmakers and legislative employees should expect to meet the same standards that will be demanded this month of executive branch employees: get vaccinated against COVID-19 or get weekly tests. House Speaker Matt Ritter, D-Hartford, has informed his caucus of a policy that will have limited impact until February, when the General Assembly convenes for its 2022 session.
But the policy is not exactly a directive to the legislators, who are more akin to independent contractors than employees.
House Speaker Matt Ritter, right, and House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora confer in June. Mark Pazniokas, CTMirror.org
Legislative leaders closed the Capitol to the public in
“It could be up to 10, maybe,” Candelora said.

Senate President Pro Tem Martin M. Looney, D-New Haven, could not be reached. This story originally appeared on the website of The Connecticut Mirror, ctmirror.org.

In August, Gov. Ned Lamont ordered that all executive branch employees get at least an initial COVID vaccination by Sept. 27 or submit to weekly testing for the virus. Unless extended, his emergency executive powers expire on Sept. 30.
Neither Ritter nor Candelora could say how many of their members are unvaccinated, but they believe it a tiny fraction of the 151 House members.
“This will be a policy for the House Democratic caucus and for both legislators and employees,” Ritter said. “If something falls apart and it’s not broader, I will mandate it for our caucus.”
102752R 1289927
Senate Minority Leader Kevin Kelly, R-Stratford, who is vaccinated and believes in the efficacy of vaccinations and masks, said, “You have elected officials who have a constitutional right to be in that building, representing their constituents.”
If not, it will be the rule in the House Democratic majority.
R243541v2
What to do if a lawmaker refuses both vaccination and the testing opt out? he asked. They cannot be fired or barred from representing their districts.
Control of the Capitol rests with the legislature. The governor and secretary of state, whose offices are in the building, are mere tenants. Legislative employees currently are limited in their access. They work in two groups, each at the Capitol for two days, separated by a day for cleaning.
To the extent they have a boss, it is the constituents who elected them. “That’s something that I am discussing still with the speaker,” said House Minority Leader Vincent J. Candelora, R-North Branford. “That is exactly right — public officials are not employees.”
Ritter said there is no formal signoff from the other three caucuses on the policy, but based on initial conversations he expects it will be policy for the entire legislature and its employees.
R236330_V2
“My belief is that the House Democratic caucus will have 100% compliance with the rule of either proof of vaccination or the weekly testing option,” Ritter said.
only the first floor is open to the public, meaning that voters and lobbyists are barred from the floors where the Senate and House meet and public galleries are accessed.
