Dredging the Cove Friday, March 29, 2013

Bond Commission OKs $1.1M for dredging of Cove

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Although the Wethersfield Cove’s early years as a bustling shipping port have been over since the flood of 1692, a recent award of state funding gives the town marina an opportunity to live on as a boating destination.

State Representative Russ Morin (D-Wethersfield) recently announced $1.1 million was approved by the State Bond Commission to dredge the cove’s channel into the Connecticut River. The current depth in the Volume 53, No. 13

channel is only 2 feet in some places, and the plan, to be executed by the Army Corps of Engineers and the State Department of Transportation, is to dredge a 60-ft. wide, 6-ft. deep channel.

“When people think of Wethersfield, they think of the Cove,” Morin said. “It is not the hub of economic activity of days gone by — tall ships have been replaced by Boston Whalers and other pleasure boats — but the cove is an important part of the history and fabric of our town. This project ensures boaters will have their safe harbor in Wethersfield for years to come.”

Murphy talks sequester effect while visiting defense firms

By STEPHEN SINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS

EAST HARTFORD — U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy visited defense contractors on Wednesday to denounce what he called the damaging automatic federal budget cuts included in a stopgap spending bill signed by President Barack Obama.

The junior Democratic senator toured jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney and planned to stop later at helicopter maker Sikorsky. Both are subsidiaries of United Technologies Corp. The senator was scheduled to visit General Dynamics Corp.’s Electric Boat on Thursday.

The $85 billion in spending reductions, known in Washington as the sequester, are “very damaging automatic budget cuts” that threaten F35 fighter jets, he said. The program uses engines manufactured by Pratt & Whitney.

“The problem is if we’re not buying at the rate that we originally planned, we’re putting our national security at risk,” Murphy said.

Murphy said he wants to return to Washington with “some more evidence and ammunition for our fight to turn back these automatic budget cuts.”

But United Technologies has said

will take one to two months to complete.

“Having the channel cleaned out is going to be a major improvement for the Cove; we’re very excited,” Parks and Recreation Director Kathy Bagley said Monday.

“It will provide the adequate depth for boats to be able to come in and out and they won’t bottom out as some currently do,” she added.

This will make boaters more likely to come in for the purpose of visiting Old Wethersfield, bringing business to local shops and restaurants.

In conjunction with the town’s Harbor Management Commission, Bagley also secured another state grant to install additional docks and moorings at the Cove.

“It’s all going to tie together,” she continued. “In the summer months we have a very active boating population down at the Cove because it is a boat launch area and we’re going to be trying to encourage even more boating down in that area.”

Bagley is looking forward to the completion of both improvement projects, but timing is still being worked out.

“Once we get the authorization we can move forward,” she said Monday.

Chamber director resigns; members reflect on her legacy

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Business in town has a new face.

Ellyn Laramie, executive director of the Wethersfield Chamber of Commerce for the last four years, recently resigned and a new director spent her first day on the job Monday.

Laramie, a Wethersfield resident, was the first to ever hold the position.

“She kind of blazed the trail for the next person,” said Chamber President Carla Unwin, who owns Sterling Jewelers. “She left us with some pretty well-developed guidelines and we were proud she was able to help bring the Chamber into this next phase at a time when business in any town is difficult.” added Unwin.

“We’re certainly sad that CARLA UNWIN Ellen left us but were Chamber president happy for her because she’s found a full time position … we wish her the best of luck.”

Laramie has moved on to Connecticut Sexual Assault Crisis Services (CONNSACS) in East Hartford, but she will look back on her time with the Chamber in good spirits.

“I really liked working with the town,

employees, businesses and non-profits,” she said Monday.

In the role of executive director Laramie served as a figurehead for the organization and the face representing all businesses in Wethersfield. The director is responsible for conducting day-to-day business in the office, writing newsletters, coordinating committees and events and meeting new businesspeople in town.

The Chamber runs a number of the town’s largest annual events, including Holidays on Main and the Cornfest — Laramie’s personal favorite.

An outdoor extravaganza every September, the Cornfest grew to attract more than 6,000 people under Laramie’s leadership.

“There are lots more non-profits and schools coming to the Cornfest now which makes it better,” she said. “It’s a lot of coordinating and making partnerships but all the people that help us are phenomenal.”

Unwin is confident in her choice of a successor, fellow town resident Melanie Goodin.

“Melanie is very active in the town,” said

“She left us with some pretty well-developed guidelines and we were proud she was able to help bring the Chamber into this next phase at a time when business in any town is difficult.”

Former Executive Director of the Wethersfield Chamber of Commerce, Ellyn Laramie, with Kapil Taneja, who has owned Subway in town for over 30 years, at the Salute to Business event held in December at the Wethersfield Country Club.

Unwin, who praised the new hire’s work ethic, energy and new ideas.

Goodin currently works for Canine Crime Stoppers Inc. She worked previously as a Television Production Manager for Comedy Central and was also in the real estate industry, so is well-versed in a variety of business. Now a mother to two small children, Goodin’s schedule fit perfectly with the Chamber’s office hours.

“Being a mother she’s also in tune to what’s going on in town and in the schools,” Unwin said.

Malloy undecided on “BARNEY” BARKER OIL CO., INC. end-of-life issue ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Tuesday he hasn’t yet decided whether to support a bill being considered by Connecticut lawmakers that would permit a physician to prescribe medication to help a dying patient end his or her own life.

The issue is fraught with fears and taboos, both religious and societal, but it also “raises very substantial questions about the ability of one to control their own destiny,” Malloy said, calling it “a very complex and difficult issue.”

Malloy recalled how his own mother, a nurse, died while being cared for in a hospice.

“She did not end her own life,” he said. “But I suppose if she had decided to, as a son, I probably would have supported her decision.”

Proponents of the bill are working with leaders of the General

Assembly’s Public Health Committee to clarify certain parts of the proposed legislation, which would apply to mentally competent patients with a terminal illness who are able to self-administer the lifeending drug.

Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, a chief proponent of the bill, said lawmakers are trying to tighten some of the bill’s language, such as how and when a patient is required to get a second opinion regarding their diagnosis. She said the lawmakers are looking at ways to make sure the patient has ample time to consider or reconsider whether to seek the drug, a major concern for opponents of the original bill who say it goes beyond laws in two states where assisted suicide is legal and there are waiting periods.

The committee has until April 5 to act on the bill, sending it to the full House of Representatives for further action.

Rocky Hill hopes to eventually connect all parks by trail

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

ROCKY HILL — Someday there might just be a trail system for hikers and bikers to traverse all across town, connecting all nine parks.

The Town Council just gave the Parks and Recreation Department permission to apply for a Recreational Trails Program grant to begin the first phase of trail construction, which would take place in Elm Ridge Park.

The program, funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration and administered by the State Department of Environmental Protection, would provide up to 80 percent of the project’s cost, or $121,392.

The town would be required to provide the other 20 percent — estimated at $30,000 — in the form of in-kind services.

“Our goal is to eventually link every park together so there can be walking and biking of all the trails across town,” Parks and Rec Director Lisa Zerio said Monday. “It doesn’t have to happen overnight but it’s a conceptual idea we had.”

The project is based on recommendations in the town’s 2001 Plan of Conservation and Development, which indicates that “… the establishment of a series of trails as a key element in connecting open space and recreation areas into an integrated system …”

Rocky Hill’s Parks and Recreation Department is hoping a state grant will assist them in expanding the trail system through town to connect all parks, including Quarry Park, left, and Dividend Park, where a few trails already exist.

The 1.5-mile proposal was designed by the town’s Engineering Department and is the first of a multi-phase plan to connect Elm Ridge Park to the West Street neighborhood and then to Dinosaur State Park. This first phase would allow walkers to travel from the ball field area, south along the western perimeter of the park (west of the amphitheater) then south along the property line of the Veteran’s Home, meandering

along the wetland system of Hog Brook.

The trail would then loop around the east end before heading north back to the Dog Park area.

Labor would be provided by Parks and Rec employees.

“We would do an eight-foot trail system made out of processed stone and stone dust and also put in two bridges,” Zerio explained.

There are pre-existing trails in a few locations that town officials are hoping to ultimately connect into this system. In Dividend Park for example, a group of volunteers cleaned up and blazed trails a few years ago. Those found in Quarry and

Bulkeley Parks are the result of Eagle Scout projects.

The grant application was submitted this week, and town officials expect to hear back from the state within a month or two.

Recreational Trails Program funds are issued to towns on a yearly basis for the construction of new trails, maintenance and restoration of pre-existing trails, disabled access, acquisition of land or easements for a trail or for educational trail programs.

Conn. postal center closings expected to affect 1,200 jobs

HARTFORD (AP) — The state’s congressional delegation expressed outraged over the U.S. Postal Service’s decision to close mail processing centers in Wallingford and Stamford a year earlier than expected, affecting more than 1,000 workers.

The state’s two senators and five representatives said in a statement late Tuesday the early closures renege “on a promise to the employees and communities that these facilities would remain open during this year to allow enough time to reform the Postal Service and assess if these closures are fiscally prudent.”

Postal Service spokeswoman Christine Dugas couldn’t immediately confirm Wednesday that the agency made such a promise.

“We’re losing $25 million a day and we have to do everything we possibly can to reduce costs,” she said.

Those losses have prompted the Postal Service to accelerate the closures, which are

among 55 facility consolidations planned across the country, Dugas said. The two Connecticut centers were set to close next February but have been moved up to this summer, she said.

Most of the affected Connecticut workers probably will be able to switch to other Postal Service jobs, Dugas said. The costcutting moves will affect 616 workers in Wallingford and 411 in Stamford, she said.

Operations in Wallingford will be moved to Hartford and those in Stamford will be relocated to White Plains, N.Y., but bulk mail centers at the two facilities will remain open, Dugas said.

The Postal Service lost $1.3 billion in the final three months of last year, following a nearly $16 billion loss the previous fiscal year. The agency is also trying to cut Saturday mail delivery to save $2 billion a year, but a new spending bill passed by Congress last week appears to continue the requirement for six-day mail delivery.

2nd annual Spelling Bee a buzzing success About 115 Wethersfield kids laughed, cried and cheered as they spelled and misspelled their way through the School District’s 2nd Annual Spelling Bee this past weekend.

Sporting their festive black and yellow attire, first through third grade spent two hours in the afternoon with words like “lifetime,” “playground” and “gee-whiz.” Then older students in grades four to eight worked “relentlessly” to the top that evening, and despite their “anxiety” they boasted “bravado.”

Each grade spent the last few months studying with words suggested by the Scripps National Spelling Bee, using materials provided by the schools’ PTOs, who sponsored and organized the event.

“It was fantastic; just a really wonderful day,” said Bee Committee Chairwoman Leslie Esoian, whose 9-year-old son Kyle, a fourth-grader at Highcrest Elementary, was an eager participant.

Esoian hopes he — and other Wethersfield students — were as excited about the spelling competition as they would be a championship sports game.

“The spellers did great and I think we’re starting to see a little more competitiveness as you

would see in sports,” she said.

“That element is good. Some kids did get upset and cry a little if they spelled a word wrong, but as I told the younger parents, that’s just part of the experience.”

A group of volunteers came from Wethersfield High School to help out during the day-long event, many National Honor Society students.

One in particular, Esoian said, epitomized the importance of being well-rounded.

“I wish I could have introduced my son to him,” she said. “He’s salutatorian of his class and excels in basketball, he’s in the honors society and he volunteered at the spelling bee.”

At the end of the bee when her family had returned home Esoian asked her son how his day went.

“I had a great day,” he said, which lit up his mom’s face.

“He had fun and it was an academic day!” said Esoian, whose goal when she organized the first spelling bee at Highcrest three years ago was to someday watch a Wethersfield student make it to Scripps.

The Wethersfield Bee had to be rescheduled to March 23 this year, making it too late for any spellers to move on to the regional competition March 14. But to even have a student sent to Scripps, schools need to first be registered.

HARTFORD (AP) — The possibility of a bear hunting season in Connecticut is under consideration.

The General Assembly’s Environment Committee was scheduled Wednesday to vote on a bill that would require the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to submit a report next year on the possibility of establishing a bear hunting season-by-lottery program. DEEP agrees a report evaluating whether a bear hunting season is needed, but has told lawmakers that state officials should wait for data from a four-year study of the black bear population in northwestern Connecticut by the University of Connecticut.

DEEP biologists are also collecting information about bears.

The Humane Society of the U.S. opposes the bill, arguing there’s no scientific rationale or necessity for a bear hunting season. The group predicts the public would also oppose it.

in order to have a student eligible,” said Esoian. “The only school signed up this year was Highcrest.”

The Bee Team hopes more businesses, residents and other organizations in town will offer their financial support next year.

“We’re always looking for sponsors; if we can grow our revenue stream that will help us pay for all expenses and other costs. A lot of us give money out-of-pocket, but we’re just parents.”

Dunkin’ Donuts contributed coffee, donuts and hot cocoa to feed the families who attended and winners received certificates and “Lamp of Knowledge” trophies.

Limits sought on information For World Asthma Day, CCHD looks for from Newtown warrants personal stories

By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW HAVEN — A prosecutor sought Wednesday to black out some information from search warrants in the Newtown school shooting that were due to be released Thursday.

State’s Attorney Stephen Sedensky III asked a judge not to release the name of a witness, saying the person’s safety may be jeopardized if the name were disclosed. He also asked that other information be redacted, such as telephone numbers and a few paragraphs of an affidavit.

Alissa Parker, left, and her husband, Robbie Parker, leave the firehouse Dec. 14 after receiving word that their 6-year-old daughter Emilie was one of the 20 children killed in the Sandy Hook School shooting in Newtown.

Thursday.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced last week that additional information would be released at his request. Malloy expressed concern that certain information about the Dec. 14 shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School disclosed by a top state police commander at a recent law enforcement seminar in New Orleans was leaked.

A column published last week in the New York Daily News, citing an unnamed police officer who attended the seminar, reported that Col. Daniel Stebbins discussed evidence that suggested the Newtown gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, studied other mass slayings and dedicated extensive planning to the rampage that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead.

WETHERSFIELD POST

For Rocky Hill’s Emily Anderson, all-star game caps of stellar season

By KEVIN D. ROBERTS STAFF WRITER

Annalisa Russell-Smith | Staff

Ralph Capsalors, left, of Rocky Hill and his brother Tony, of Newington, arrive ready to play on opening day at Stanley Golf Course in New Britain Tuesday. “I’ve been coming here for 55 years” Ralph said.

“More than you expect, for less than you think”

“He helped me out a lot,” Anderson said.

Anderson enjoyed her final season with Rocky Hill.

“The girls, we all got along really well,” Anderson said.

Anderson said Rocky Hill was able to draw good crowds. The crowds in turn saw good basketball.

“The hard work really paid off,” Anderson said.

After losing the season opener at Newington, the Terriers won five of their next six games. Rocky Hill took three straight victories, then won two more following a road loss to Plainville.

The last five losses of the regular season for the Terriers went like this: E.O. Smith (twice), RHAM (twice) and Tolland. Rocky Hill got a measure of revenge on Tolland when it picked up a huge home win, 40-31 on Feb. 7.

Including the Class S second round loss to Cromwell, the Terriers final six losses were to teams that had a combined record of 87-15. Cromwell went 28-0 and won the Class M championship while RHAM (21-4) and Tolland (18-6) each made it to the state semifinals in Class L. E.O. Smith (20-5) reached the Class LL quarterfinals.

Rocky Hill loses Anderson and Bryanna Montalvo to graduation, but Anderson said the team returns a “core five” players that can put together another good team next season.

“If they run a fast-paced game, they’ll be really good,” Anderson said.

Anderson was really good for Rocky Hill in 2012-13, and the Terriers were able to reach heights that they hadn’t attained since 200809, when they reached their fourth straight state tournament. Rocky Hill will look to keep the momentum going next season.

Rocky Hill senior girls basketball player Emily Anderson went through a lot of change in her final year with the Terrier program.

A new coach, Josh Dinerman, brought a more high-paced style to the team. That style meant a huge adjustment for Anderson and her team.

“He really got us in shape and ready for the season,” Anderson said.

The results for Rocky Hill were terrific. The Terriers improved to a program record 14 wins (14-8 overall) from a 9-13 mark in 2011-12 and were able to make it to Class M’s second round. Rocky Hill bowed out with a loss to eventual state champion Cromwell.

Anderson, a 5-foot-10 forward, had a great season individually as well that ended with a chance to play among the best seniors that Class M and S had to offer. Anderson took part in a game between Class M and S players at the Connecticut High School Coaches Association Girls All-Star Festival at North Branford High School on March 21.

“It was an honor to be selected,” Anderson said after the game.

Anderson earned the honor after averaging around 22 points per game as a senior. That was up from her previous average of 11-12 points in the previous two seasons.

“The fast-paced game really helped, and I was in so much better shape,” Anderson said.

Anderson was the go-to scorer for Rocky Hill, and she proved it in games against Farmington and Hartford Public. Anderson had 36 points against Farmington, then followed that up the next week with a career-high 39 against Hartford Public. She finished her career with 978 points.

“Not bad, but not close enough,” Kevin D. Roberts can be reached at Anderson said with a laugh.

Anderson credited former coach (860) 225-4601, ext. 213 or kroberts@ Peter Egan with helping her as well. newbritainherald.com

TORRINGTON (AP) — The arrests of three high school students on sexual assault charges and the online taunting of an accuser have prompted Torrington officials to organize a community meeting on cyberbullying, statutory rape and social media.

Board of Education Chairman Kenneth Traub said Monday that school officials, local police and religious leaders are organizing a community forum they expect to hold in the first two weeks of April. He said additional public meetings are possible.

“I imagine that the public input section of it would be overwhelming,” Traub told the Register Citizen newspaper of Torrington. “We are working with the city and the police department to put on a forum to discuss the issues at hand.” Traub’s announcement came on the same day that Superintendent of Schools Cheryl Kloczko warned students that online taunting won’t be tolerated and could result in discipline including suspension or expulsion.

“Please be advised that use of social media

by Torrington students to disparage other

Torrington students is entirely unacceptable,” Kloczko wrote in a letter on the school system’s website. The arrests and subsequent social media postings have drawn some comparisons to a case in Steubenville, Ohio, that also made national headlines. In that case, two Steubenville High School football players were sentenced earlier this month to at least a year in juvenile jail after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a drunken 16-year-old girl, who was threatened on Twitter by the players’ supporters.

Two 18-year-old Torrington High School players, Edgar Gonzalez and Joan Toribio, were charged with felony second-degree sexual assault and other crimes last month in alleged statutory rape cases involving different 13-yearold girls. Toribio also was charged two weeks ago in another second-degree sexual assault case. They have pleaded not guilty to the charges.

A third student, an unnamed 17-year-old boy, was charged this month with second-degree sexual assault on one of the two 13-year-olds linked to the football players’ cases.

STEELE AT WETHERSFIELD LIBRARY: Author and former Connecticut Congressman Bob Steele will discuss and sign his new novel, “The Curse: Big-Time Gambling’s Seduction of a Small New England Town,” at the library Tuesday, April 9, at 7 p.m. Steele’s novel begins in 1637 with the massacre of the Pequot Indians and a Pequot sachem’s curse aimed at the young English soldier who is about to kill him. The story then jumps 350 years as the soldier’s 13th-generation descendant becomes embroiled in a battle to stop a fictional Indian tribe from building a casino that threatens his town and ancestral home. The lure of easy money drives everyone, from the tribe’s chief to a shadowy Miami billionaire, venal politicians, and Providence mobsters, while a small Connecticut town must choose between preserving its character or accepting an extraordinary proposal that will change it forever. Steele is vice chairman of an international retail marketing agency and has been a director of numerous companies. A graduate of Amherst College and Columbia University, he served in the CIA and Congress, and was a candidate for governor of Connecticut. He lives with his wife in Es-

sex. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Registration for this program is suggested. Call (860) 257-2811 to register or for more information.
