Council votes 5-4 in favor of land swap deal for Wilkus Farm property

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

The Wilkus Farm property on Willow Street will likely see six homes in its future.

Wethersfield Town Council voted 5-4 in favor one of three proposals the town received for the sale of two acres of the 81-acre site, at its Volume 54, No. 2

50 Cents

meeting Monday evening.

Approved was a land swap plan from developer Ron Drisdelle, who owns land at 214 Goff Road where a four-lot subdivision was previously planned for.

The four councilors who were defeated voted in favor of one of the other two proposals from town resident Richard Nowak, who would repair the Wilkus home and six barns, use the buildings to store farming equipment and hay on 10n of the 80 acres offered as part of the deal.

Mayor Donna Hemmann was the sole Republican to vote in favor of this plan.

Nature groups hosting walks through Great Meadows

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Outside of its charming historic village that draws visitors from across the state, Wethersfield has a wilderness that not many people are aware of.

East of the Silas Deane and southeast of the Wethersfield Cove are the Great Meadows, shared by the towns of Wethersfield, Rocky Hill and Glastonbury.

There are a number of area groups who work to conserve, protect and enhance this land, which contains naturally and historically significant

wetlands, floodplains, and agricultural areas.

In conjunction with the Eleanor Buck Wolfe Nature Center and the Audubon Society of Connecticut, the Great Meadows Conservation Trust hosts a series of winter walks through these trails every year during the months of January and February.

The next event is this Saturday at the “Wolf parcel” where a new gate that was just financed and built by neighbors, welcoming visitors.

Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is adding to conservation efforts on this property.

“Part of the goal is to maintain the meadow which used to be there to keep that area from foresting, so grassland birds can achieve habitat there,” GMCT Stewardship Chairman Jim Woodworth said.

Woodworth and other Great Meadows advocates have hired a company to cut down a few trees on the parcel and replace them with native grasses and wildflowers for this purpose.

In the spirit of the Source-toSea, clean-up efforts will continue Saturday as long as the snow melts enough to reveal the trash along Folly Brook. Woodworth also hopes to spot the area’s resident bald eagle during the walk.

At the Wood Parcel off of Middletown Avenue, where last Saturday’s walk took place, the GMCT’s efforts have also been ongoing. Last year they purchased and installed an aluminum bridge so visitors could make their way across the stream and along the trail that they’ve cleared out during the last year or so. More recently an informational sign was put in place to detail the history of the area, which was inhabited by Native Americans.

Woodworth referred to the land as the natives’ “summer home.”

“One of our goals is to put a second bench there out by the corner of the field and maybe another informational box,” he says.

Manousos and McAllister suggested many different future uses for those 10 acres that Nowak would have used for haying over the next 10 years. Their suggestions included

a park, walking trails, exercise stations, athletic facilities, a tree farm, and more.

The public questioned these councilors’ motives, as both recently signed a petition in support of the Drisdelle deal that proposed the

lease of the 10 acres to the George D. Ritchie Soccer Club, of which Manousos happens to be president.

Guerrera has publicized his stark opposition to this proposed home opening in Rocky Hill and along with state Sen. Paul Doyle, put together a piece of legislation to fight it.

A petition is currently circulating around town against in opposition of the home, which would be the very first of its type in the state of Connecticut.

MCC offers degree in video game design

MANCHESTER (AP) — Manchester Community College is joining other colleges to offer an associate’s degree program in video game design.

The Journal Inquirer reports that Professor Edward Hogan says Connecticut does not have a large gaming industry similar to California, Florida or the Boston area. But he says the state’s tax-credit program for the entertainment industry has led to some growth.

He says at least eight gaming companies operate in Connecticut.

The small state industry draws animators, film makers and special effects artists.

Courses include an introduction to computer games that review the history of games and technologies and an introduction to literature to strengthen reading and writing.

Quinnipiac University recently rolled out its own video game design program and the University of Connecticut also has started to offer some classes.

House elects Sharkey as new speaker

HARTFORD (AP) — The Connecticut House of Representatives has chosen Hamden Rep. Brendan Sharkey as the new House Speaker.

The Democrat who previously served as House Majority Leader urged his colleagues on Wednesday to treat one another with respect and make bipartisanship the rule and not the exception.

Sharkey’s nomination was seconded by House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero of Norwalk.

Cafero called on his fellow lawmakers to carry on “the spirit of Sandy Hook” and cooperate with one another, referring to the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.

Double-digit tuition increases considered for state colleges

By JACQUELINE RABE THOMAS

CONNECTICUTMIRROR

Faced with cuts in state funding, declining student enrollment and mandatory pay raises for faculty, the Board of Regents for Higher Education is considering raising tuition by as much as 12.4 percent next school year.

“I don’t think it’s a surprise, given the budget cuts... This is pretty sim-

ple math,” Gary F. Holloway told regents on the executive and finance committees Tuesday.

Gary Holloway Gary F. Holloway, head of the finance committee of the Board of Regents for Higher Education: ‘’No surprise’’ considering recent budget cuts.

Over the last two school years, state funding for the dozen community colleges and four state

colleges has declined by 15.3 percent, or $49.4 million. Declining enrollment also is making the system’s projected deficit larger than expected.

“We are facing great challenges,” said Philip Austin, interim president of the 100,000-student system.

If approved, this would be the largest tuition and fee increase since 2004 for the state colleges.

Holloway, the chair of the finance committee, said a double-digit percentage increase is necessary just to continue providing the existing level of services at the system’s 16 campuses.

Officials said the colleges have nearly run out of places to cut spending. The colleges recently incurred a $14.4 million mid-year budget cut ordered by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.

fessors instead of full-time faculty.

Additionally, the childcare center for students and staff at Northwest Community College has closed and the recently built fitness center at Naugatuck Community College has closed. In total, 187 positions will remain vacant to makeup for the cut.

Sen. Beth Bye, the co-chairwoman of the Higher Education Committee, said she often hears that too many students cannot get the classes they need.

“This isn’t going to help,” she said.

“This is not a good picture for our students. We are walking a very fine line here if we don’t invest... It’s just not good for our state.” After enduring years of budget cuts, regents Chairman Lewis Robinson Jr. said something has to give.

On top of the state funding reductions, the college employee contracts negotiated by the Malloy administration require a 5 percent salary increase each year for the next three years and no layoffs are permitted.

Enrollment is also down by as much as 4 percent at some of the colleges.

For Southern Connecticut State University, this under-enrollment means an additional $5.9 million

shortfall.

“To me it indicates that it’s not going to be enough to tinker around the edges [of the budget],” Robinson said.

Other board members said they have no reason to believe state legislators and the governor are going to reverse course on these budget cuts.

In fact, the state is facing a deficit of as much as $1.2 billion for the upcoming fiscal year and college officials are bracing for additional cuts coming their way.

The co-chairwomen of the legislature’s Higher Education Committee said the increases facing college students are disappointing.

“We’ve gone past cutting the fat.

We are down to the bone here.

They’re backed into a corner,” said Rep. Roberta Willis, D-Salisbury.

“This is a shot across the bow to us that they can’t take any more cuts...

This really is a tax on students.”

Malloy opposes guns in school in state of the state speech

By MARK PAZNIOKAS AND KEITH M. PHANEUF CONNECTICUT MIRROR

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Wednesday in a nationally televised State of the State speech that Connecticut must not turn its schools into armed camps in response to the murders of 26 educators and children in Newtown.

“Let me be clear. Freedom is not a handgun on the hip of every teacher, and security should not mean a guard posted outside every classroom,” Malloy said to the applause of legislators. “That is not who we are in Connecticut, and it is not who we will allow ourselves to become.” Malloy began and ended his third annual State of the State address on the opening day of the General Assembly session with repeated references to the 20 firstgraders and six educators shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School Dec. 14.

He offered no policy initiatives in the address, a first for the first-term Democratic governor.

The speech was carried live for a national audience on C-Span, as well as the state’s public affairs’

network, CT-N, and Connecticut stations.

“It won’t surprise you that this speech is very different from the one I first envisioned giving,” Malloy said. “In the early days of December, I began thinking about what I’d like to say today. Now, while it’s only been a few short weeks on the calendar, we have all walked a very long and very dark road together.”

Malloy issued a call for unity as the state explores measures on gun control, mental health and school security in the opening weeks of the 2013 General Assembly.

But he used the broad themes of resilience and persistence in the face of challenges to also cast his administration in a positive light, defending his use of a $1.5 billion tax increase as part of a solution to an inherited $3.6 billion deficit in his first year.

Elements of the 26-minute speech could have been written before Dec. 14. He hit a defiant note, one that didn’t jibe with the overall tone of the address, in defending his budget approach, even though Connecticut is facing new fiscal pressures as the economy

continues to sputter.

“Anyone who tells you that the budget we passed two years ago didn’t do its job, that it didn’t make real change in how we approach our finances, is simply not telling the truth,” Malloy said.

He also recited his administration’s accomplishments, standard fare for a governor passing the midpoint of his first term. He faces re-election in 2014.

Malloy contrasted Connecticut politics with the gridlock of Washington, noting that much of the major legislation put forward by his administration on education, energy policy, economic development and new demands on utilities after two storms in 2011 passed with the support of Republicans.

“If these past two years have proven anything, it’s that we have the ability to rally around a common good and a common goal,” Malloy said. “We’ve done it in a way that just doesn’t seem possible these days in some places, certainly not in Washington D.C.” Legislators stood and applauded as Malloy introduced Newtown’s first selectman, C. Patricia Llodra,

HEALTH DISTRICT SELLING BICYCLE HELMETS: With the holidays just around the corner, a great gift idea for the active child or adult in your life is a helmet. The Central Connecticut Health District has been selling low cost bicycle helmets to residents since 1997. Currently, the Health District is offering bicycle helmets for sale. As with any athletic activity, safety should always be of primary concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1.7 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury, resulting in 52,000 deaths, 275,000 hospitalizations, and 1.4 million people receiving treatment in emergency departments every year. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) account for a third (30.5 percent) of all injury-related deaths in the United States. Fortunately, many of these injuries can be prevented or minimized with the use of properlyfitted helmets. The helmets come in a variety of colors for children and adults, ranging from toddler sizes to adult XL. The cost for the helmets is $10. The bicycle helmets are available for purchase at the main office of the Central Connecticut Health District at 505 Silas Deane Hwt., Wethersfield. For

further information, contact the Health District, serving the towns of Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill, and Wethersfield, by calling (860) 721-2822 or by visiting our website at www.ccthd.org.
