Wethersfield residents, officials say CL&P tree-trimming was haphazard, often without property owners’ consent By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
As the peak of hurricane season — mid-September — approaches, Wethersfield is trying to strike a balance between safety preparation and historic preservation. Connecticut Light and Power crews made their way through town recently to trim trees hanging close to power lines, but residents say their Volume 53, No. 33

work left devastation equal to that of a hurricane. “The whole way it’s turned out in multiple parts of town is horrific,” Town Councilor Gerri Roberts said at Monday’s Town Council meeting, where more than a dozen spoke up on the issue. “The whole thing was just helter skelter; I understand why people are upset,” she added. Work performed on the Broad Street Green drew the most concerns, where residents say centuries-old limbs were “butchered.” Highcrest and Ridge Roads were also affected. CL&P sent Vegetation Manager David Goodson to address town residents and officials Monday.
Initially he defended the work, claiming that trees are cut to increase public safety and the reliability of the town’s electric system. “We want your lights to stay on,” he told the group. According to Goodson, the power company’s budget for such work has doubled in recent years after disasters like Superstorm Sandy ripped through the state, leaving people without power for weeks. He added that CL&P crews use the philosophy “right tree, right place,” to make decisions about which to cut.

be created this winter, with improvements likely to be made next spring or summer. Old Wethersfield will be easier to navigate after $225,000 is used to reconfigure intersections at the village’s most-frequented streets. This includes the three-way where Marsh and Church Streets meet Main Street and a little ways down where Main meets Hartford Avenue, then State Street. The area is frequented by both vehicles and pedestrians, since Main Street is sprinkled with dozens of museums, shops and restaurants. Improvements will enhance walkability and connectivity, a need identified in the Preserve America Plan more than seven years ago. But town officials are still going to seek residents’ opinions on how changes should be made. “The intersection improvements will take some significant public input, to begin this fall and winter,” Bridges said. “From there a concept design will be developed.” The remaining $100,000 in grant money will go to another project currently under construction: a new playground at Emerson Williams School.

Softball fundraiser honors memory of Maryann Loprete 3rd annual event benefits causes important to RHHS graduate, drunken driving victim
By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
As two softball games were played Sunday at Elm Ridge Park, the scoreboard was far from the minds of players who instead were consumed by memories of the late Maryann Loprete. In January of 2010, the 27-yearold Rocky Hill resident was killed as a passenger in a drunken driving accident. Her family and friends established the Maryann Loprete Memorial Foundation in her honor and this was the third year they gathered for a softball fundraiser Aug. 18 — designated by Mayor Tim Moriarty in 2010 as Maryann Loprete Day. “Everyone had a great time and is looking forward to next year,” Angela Loprete, her mother, said Monday, adding, “We’re hoping the foundation grows so we can fulfill her dreams.” Funds raised by the foundation go to benefit causes that were important to Maryann, who graduated from Rocky Hill High
School in 2000. In the past this included charities that seek treatments and cures for muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis, while scholarships have also been awarded to RHHS students pursuing secondary education studies in teaching, reading or writing — all among Maryann’s interests. This year the Loprete family planned on once again awarding two Rocky Hill students with money for college, but when only two applications came in, they decided to pick a different cause. “When Maryann was living in Alaska she saw a lot of homeless people and when she returned home she wanted to help them,” remembers Angela, who chose the Immaculate Conception Shelter for Homeless Men in Hartford as the beneficiary. “She was wonderful, very giving,” she added of her daughter. “She always put others before herself — regardless if they were strangers or friends.”
Family and friends of Maryann Loprete, a 27-year-old Rocky Hill High School graduate, killed as a passenger in a drunken driving accident, gathered Aug. 18 for the 3rd annual Maryann Loprete Memorial Foundation Softball game.
Her mom, along with her dad, Rocco and brother, Joe, hope that more scholarship applications come in the spring of 2014. “Unfortunately this year the applications were not what we wanted them to be,” Angela

explained. “We want this to go to a student who puts a lot of effort in.” She is also working with Senators John Fonfara, and Steve Cassano, along with state Rep. Prasad Srinivasan to tighten up state laws on drinking and driving. One bill proposed would make a jail sentence mandatory for drunk drivers, and another would require the State Liquor Control Commission to be notified to pursue an investigation after any drunken driving accident. “They have been there since the beginning helping me; hopefully, our work will prevent, if not save a life,” she added.

Conn. customers call cops over cable outage
(AP) — When a cable television outage hit Connecticut shoreline communities during prime time Sunday night viewing, viewers jumped to action. Some residents reached out to their state senator. Others called police. A Fairfield police spokeswoman says one caller used 911, while others used routine lines. A message on the department’s Facebook page says such an outage is “neither an emergency or a police-related concern.” The post warns that 911 should be used for life-threatening emergencies only and misuse of the 911 system may result in an arrest. Cablevision says in a statement that there was a commercial power failure in its Norwalk facility. It says “the power matter has been resolved and service has been restored to our customers.”

Critics raises concerns over Sandy Hook Task force objectivity By SUSAN HAIGH ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD — The president of a Connecticut open government group on Wednesday questioned the makeup of a task force that’s charged with recommending to state lawmakers how to balance victim privacy with the public’s right to know, in the wake of the deadly Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. James Smith, a task force member and the president of the Connecticut Council on Freedom of Information, said he’s concerned the overall membership of the 17-person group appears slanted in favor of keeping certain information from public release. “It looks to me it’s weighted on one side over the other,” Smith said during the second meeting of the Task Force on Victim Privacy and the Public’s Right to Know. But Don DeCesare, a representative of the Connecticut Broadcasters Association and the panel’s co-chairman, said, “It’s a little early to count noses.” He said he hopes the panel can unanimously approve a set of recommendations for the General Assembly to consider by Jan. 1. Smith also raised concerns about how the task force was created. A provision to create the group was tucked into a last-minute bill designed to block the public release of crime scene photos and video evidence from the Dec. 14 massacre at the Newtown school. Task force members were given the broad charge of making recommendations regarding “the balance between victim privacy under the Freedom of
Information Act and the public’s right to know.” Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s office originally bypassed the traditional legislative process and worked behind the scenes with legislative leaders, the state’s top prosecutor and others to draft a bill to address concerns raised by the Sandy Hook families. Twenty first graders and six educators were killed in the mass shooting. “They went around the legislative process. There were no public hearings and so we have this legislation,” Smith said. “It doesn’t surprise me that we’re having trouble with the legislation because it was all done in secret.” Besides creating the task force, the new law blocked the public release of photographs, film, video and other images in all homicides, so long as the records “could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of the victim or the victim’s surviving family members.” Sen. Leonard Fasano, R-North Haven and a task force member, said it wasn’t the intention of state officials to craft the bill secretly. He said the Sandy Hook families came to legislators at the end of the session, after the public hearings were completed, with concerns that crime scene photos would be publicly released. Documentary maker Michael Moore had called for their release, arguing the photos would persuade people of the need for gun control. “No one even thought about this issue,” said Fasano, who called the final legislation “a reasonable stop-gap measure.” The task force meets again Sept. 4.

Patch news sites downsizing; Rocky Hill editor let go
STAFF REPORT
BERLIN — Patch, the collection of local news websites owned by AOL, has let go about 40 percent of its staff including the editor of its Rocky Hill and Berlin sites. Bob Mayer, who served as editor of both sites, posted a message on the Facebook pages for the Berlin and Rocky Hill Patch sites bidding farewell to his readers. His statement, in its entirety, is as follows: “So I need to tell all of my faithful readers and Patch visitors that I got laid off today. I’m not sure what that means for the site going forward but they may leave it open for people to post and blog on. There will be no local copy coming from me. AOL has cut 40 percent of its work force and I am in that 40 percent. I’m proud to have served you and the community. I’m also proud of all the stories I have written and people I have met. Thank you for all the cooperation and help. I’ll see you down the road.”

TAX FREE WEEK FOR BACK TO SCHOOL! TAX FREE WEEK!
Attempts to contact Mayer via telephone and Facebook were not returned. AOL’s CEO Tim Armstrong held a brief press conference Friday where he announced that 40 percent of the Patch staff would be let go later that day. Those cuts, which amount to nearly 500 people, were made on Friday in separate phone calls and no specific announcements have been made as to who was let go. Patch, which had around 1,000 local news websites, will, according to Armstrong, close 20 percent of its sites, look for partners for another 20 percent and keep the remaining 60 percent open. No specific announcement has been made as to whether the Rocky Hill and Berlin Patch sites would remain open in some form and both were still online as of Sunday. Patch lists 67 sites in Connecticut on its website. No announcement has been made as to which of those sites will be kept open, which will be closed and which the company will seek partners.

Republican House leader questions keno delays
HARTFORD (AP) — House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero Jr. says he wants an update on efforts to implement keno, a new game of chance that’s supposed to be offered soon in Connecticut. The Norwalk Republican complained Wednesday there’s been no communication from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s administration to the General Assembly about how keno will operate. Cafero accused the administra-
tion of leaving it up to “a small group of men and women” to “impose a new law that greatly expands gambling in this state,” deciding issues such as hours of operation and the number of locations where keno will be offered. In July, a spokesman for the Office of Policy and Management said his agency and the Connecticut Lottery Corporation were working on preliminary tasks needed to get the game up and rolling.

Program to fund wetlands preservation, restoration
HARTFORD (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Audubon Connecticut have signed an agreement to create a new initiative to help conserve local wetlands. The Connecticut In-Lieu Fee Program is expected to generate about $1 million annually to help pay for the restoration, enhancement and preservation of aquatic habits across the state. The money will come from application fees paid to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for development projects impacting wetlands and watercourses. Instead of developing small mitigation projects to offset the project’s effects, fees would be pooled for larger projects, including land acquisition. Former Audubon Connecticut Executive Director Tom Baptist said there’s an “enormous” opportunity for restoring habits that were damaged by development and road construction.
Conn. lawmaker charged with assault in altercation with sister
(AP) — Fairfield police say state Rep. Brenda Kupchick has been charged with assault after a “minor physical confrontation” with her sister in her home. Kupchick, a Republican from
Fairfield, was charged with third degree assault and disorderly conduct. Her sister, Lisa Fabrizi of Trumbull, was charged with disorderly conduct.
Police say they responded shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday and Kupchick reported she accidentally scratched her sister’s face while attempting to prevent a family matter from escalating.

In many facets, crime scene cleanup proves a difficult job
Area company takes on emotionally grueling work By LLUVIA MARES STAFF WRITER
034569
After police, paramedics and firefighters leave the scene of a bloody crime, violent murder or tragic accident, what’s left in the aftermath is not a typical cleanup job. Whether it’s puddles, splatters or splashes of blood on the walls, floors or ceilings, someone has to properly clean the affected areas safely and efficiently. “It’s a tough job that not everyone can handle,” said Justin Zito, regional manager of Aftermath Services, a crime scene cleanup service. “There has to be a high sense of tolerance and compassion.” The job can be grim, and it can be emotional, said Zito. Bone and brain fragments, blood-soaked furniture, insects and body fluids are all are part of the cleanup. “We see a family member during the worst time in his or her life,” said Zito. “We try to do the job fast for the sake of the family and leave no traces behind, and we always treat the family as if they were our own.” Aftermath Services is a national crime scene cleaning service with a regional office in Berlin. The company operates in 48 states and its services include cleaning up from all manner of deaths, industrial accident cleanup, hoarding and filth cleanup and tear-gas remediation. The cleanup crew consists of five employees, who usually work in teams of three, rotating day and night. “We are always on call because when tragedy strikes, it strikes at all hours,” said Zito. According to Zito, a cleaner’s job is to come in and remove any sign of what happened and any biohazards that resulted from the traumatic incident. “We restore the scene to its preincident state in accordance with state and federal mandates,” he said. “We make it look as if it never happened.”
Zito said federal regulations deem all bodily fluids as biohazards, so any blood or tissue at a crime scene is considered a potential source of infection. “When we step onto a scene, we treat it as a fully contaminated infected scene,” said Zito. “We create a ‘special zone’ where we can get into and out of our gear to prevent cross-contaminating any other part of the home.” This job is not only gruesome, but it can be dangerous too, so rules and regulations for the industry have been created by several groups including the state Department of Health, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Everything has to be neat and meticulous when we set up,” said Zito. “We work precise, diligent and organized when we are at a crime scene.” Before the cleanup begins, the crew puts on blue plastic hazmat suits, three pairs of heavy-duty rubber gloves, full protective boots, respirators, dust masks and safety glasses. “When you work in this type of environment you don’t know if the blood you are cleaning up is infected with a disease,” said Kendall Huston, backup supervisor. “So you always treat is as if it were infected.” Prior to becoming a crime-scene

cleaner, Huston worked in construction — a job, he said, prepared him for many of the things he encounters while at a scene. “A lot of time, the blood and bodily fluids seep through the flooring, especially when the body has been decomposing for a number of days,” he said. “My construction skills come in handy when I need to take apart floors, walls and cut out mattresses and other furniture. You need to know how to use the tools.” Zito said the crew usually does three cleanup jobs a week and up to 20 any given month. Crime scene cleaning is not like typical cleaning, it takes time and precision and with that comes a high price tag.

Budget cuts to keep 730 children out of preschool this year By JACQUELINE RABE THOMAS CONNECTICUTMIRROR
Head Start preschool programs in Connecticut will enroll 730 fewer children this school year and many programs will be open fewer days as a result of federal government budget cuts, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday. The 8 percent cut in the number of seats offered to low-income children age five and younger throughout Connecticut are not likely to be restored by the state government, the governor said Tuesday. “We will fund all of the positions [the state] has funded. There will be no cutback,” Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said on WNPR’s Where We Live talkshow Tuesday morning when asked if the state will make up for the cut. Malloy pointed out that the state did provide an additional $50.7 million in state funding to districts this year for education, and that local leaders are free to spend that money to fill the gap that the federal budget reduction known as sequestration has caused. “That’s done primarily on a
district-by-district basis. They are dealing with that as we speak. Some of those districts are stepping in and making up the difference,” he said. Almost 6,500 students — about one in five kindergarten students — showed up for kindergarten in the fall of 2011 having spent no time in a preschool, reports the State Department of Education. And in the state’s 19 poorest districts, participation rates in early education are much lower than in their neighboring districts. The education department has estimated that it would cost the state $43.8 million a year for the state to offer universal preschool in the state’s poorest districts and millions more in one-time-costs to build the necessary facilities to accommodate them. In an effort to move toward universal access to preschool, the state legsiature and the governor spent millions expanding the number of children offered enrollment in statefunded preschool programs. “That was a Herculean effort,” Malloy said. But the 950 additional seats the state created have now been largely

wiped out by the mandatory federal budget cuts. Head Start programs across the state and U.S. are handling their cuts differently from reducing the number of children they enroll, to shaving the number of days they
open, to eliminating teachers and increasing class sizes. HHS reports that, nationwide, 57,265 fewer children will be served this year and the centers will open 1.3 million fewer days. At least 18,000 staff will face pay cuts or job losses, HHS reports.

Residents upset over ‘careless’ CL&P tree-trimming Continued from Page 1
According to Goodson, they will be replaced by trees that are relatively small and won’t grow close to conductors. “This is a really tough town to do tree work in because there are a lot of old trees with a close proximity to wires,” he added. “These trees, if not pruned adequately, will be a risk to our lives and to our customers.” But after town officials expressed frustration that those whose yards abutted the work were not contacted before crews arrived, Goodson agreed to investigate their complaints. “I think you’ve caused irreparable damage to this town for years to come,” said Deputy Mayor John Console, who received seven e-mails from residents claiming they did not consent to the tree-trimming on their properties, which is required by state law. “Unfortunately, the character of our town is now changed for future generations,” added Councilor Stathis Manousos, who asked what can be done to prevent future mutilation. Some residents put the blame on the town for not keeping an eye on crews, as town staff met with CL&P beforehand but expected foremen to keep tabs on the work itself. “Unfortunately some of their crews may not have been supervised as much as CL&P would have liked and that has led us to this situation,” said Town Manager Jeff Bridges, who suggested the Village Improvement Association be involved in future planning for such work. Residents made their own recommendations, like burying power lines underground or having town staff supervise crews. “If we have electrical work done in our house, the town sends out an inspector. I don’t think it’s that much of a stretch to send someone out for this,” said Mark Walsh, whose home abuts the historic green.
Erica Schmitt |Staff
An official from CL&P addressed complaints from residents and town officials at Monday’s Town Council meeting over the way in which trees — some more than a centruy old — were sheered as part of the company’s storm preparation.
Linda Case, who lives on Park Avenue, said she wanted to protect her neighborhood from the same fate. “I really care about this town and I hope the town will assume some liability to protect these landmarks,” she said. CL&P crews have been asked to cease all tree cutting in Wethersfield until further notice.

Wethersfield officials said they received dozens of complaints from town residents who were upset about the “reckless” manner CL&P crews trimmed tress. Some also claimed that crews trimmed trees on their properties without their permission, a violation of state law.

After the introductory APR expires, the APR will convert to the current variable rate which will then float during the life of the loan. There is a 3.25% floor on this product. The converted APR is based on Prime as found in the Money Rate section of the Wall Street Journal and is a floating rate for the life of the loan. As of 07/17/13, Prime is 3.25% APR. The minimum APR can be no lower than the 3.25% floor and the maximum APR is 18%. Apart from the maximum and minimum, there is no limit on the amount by which the rate can change during any one-year period. The introductory rate is available for new HELOC customers only. The HELOC must be secured by owner occupied 1-4 family, condominiums and 2nd/vacation homes with a loan-to-value of 80% or less. The minimum line is $15,000. The maximum line is $250,000. The maximum APR that can apply is 18% and the minimum APR can be no lower than the 3.25% floor. Two conversion rate options - The conversion rate of Prime less .50% requires Direct Deposit to a Berkshire Bank checking account and an initial draw of $15,000 at the end of the rescission period or day of recording. If this conversion happened today, the variable rate would be 3.25% APR because of the floor. If it happened when Prime was higher, e.g. 5.00% then the floating rate would be Prime less .50% or 4.50 APR%. If you choose not to have Direct Deposit and not to draw $15,000 initially, your conversion rate will increase to a rate of Prime and will continue to float throughout the life of the loan. If this conversion happened today, the variable rate would be 3.25% APR because of the floor. If it happened when Prime was higher, e.g. 5.00% then the floating rate would be Prime or 5.00% APR. Fees - An Annual Fee of $50 will be assessed. A $15 service fee will be assessed for advances less than $250.

More than 3,000 youth apply to halt deportation By ANA RADELAT CT MIRROR
More than 3,000 undocumented Connecticut youth have applied to shield themselves from deportations, and nearly 70 percent of them have obtained provisional legal status, a study says. A new report from the Brookings Institution says a year after President Obama used his executive authority to halt deportations of undocumented children, more than 435,000 youths applied for “deferred action for childhood arrivals,” — 3,069 of them in Connecticut. Using information gathered through a Freedom of Information request, the report said nearly 75 percent of applications nationwide have been approved. About 24 percent were in processing and only one percent denied. The approval figure was lower in Connecticut. About 69 percent or 2,127 applications were approved. Audrey Singer, author of the report, said the lower approval rate in Connecticut does not mean youths in the state are less likely to win approval of their applications. “The most likely reason for this is that this is a program without a deadline and a lot of applications are still in the pipeline,” Singer said. The DREAM Act, a bill that has had trouble winning congressional approval, would give undocumented children legal status. Obama’s action does not do so. But it gives approved applicants two important advantages — temporary suspension of deportation and the right to work in the United States. According to the report, the most common arrival was eight years old and almost a third of the young immigrants were five years old or younger. To successfully win deferred action, an applicant must: Have arrived in the United States before his or her 16th birthday. Have continuously resided in the United States without legal status since June 15, 2007 Be younger than age 31 as of June 15, 2012, and at least age 15

years old at application. An exemption is made for younger children who are already in deportation proceedings Be currently enrolled in school, have graduated high school or obtained a general development certificate (GED), or be an honorably discharged veterans. Have not been convicted of a felony or multiple or serious misdemeanors and not pose a threat to national security or public safety Carolina Bortoletto, 22, who lives in Danbury, is among those who obtained deferred action status. Born in Brazil, Bortoletto came to the United States 15 years ago when she was 9 with her parents and a younger sister. She attended Western Connecticut University on a scholarship, but never expected to be able to use her Master’s degree in biology. “To me my diploma was just a piece of paper,” she said. “But now I have a work permit so I can actually look for work.” There are estimates that about 900,000 youths nationwide are eligible for deferred action. But fewer than half have applied. That means there may be more eligible applicants in Connecticut, Singer said. Nationally, nearly 75 percent of the applicants come from Mexico. That’s not the case in Connecticut, where the largest group of applicants — nearly 39 percent — come from South America. A May study by the Migration
Policy Institute showed that Bridgeport was one of the areas in the nations with a high concentration of residents from South America, an estimated 30,000 to 75,000. But the rest of the state has very few South American residents. The next largest group in Connecticut to apply for deferral comes from Mexico, 26 percent, then Central America, 14.1 percent. Although Connecticut has a large Dominican population, only 7.1 percent of the state’s applicants come from the Caribbean, the report said. In her report, Singer said many applicants for deferred action are motivated by opportunities to come out of the shadows and apply for a work authorization card, to gain eligibility for in-state tuition at public colleges and apply for a driver’s license On the other hand, some potential applicants are discouraged because they don’t know if they qualify given the criteria, lack of funds for the $465 application fee, can’t document continuous presence in the United States, or failed to enroll in school, Singer said. She also said some potentially eligible youth may not be aware of their undocumented status. This story originally appeared at CTMirror.org, the website of The Connecticut Mirror, an independent nonprofit news organization covering government, politics and public policy in the state.
CCSU professor honored for inspiring generation of stargazers
NEW BRITAIN — A sky high honor has been awarded to Kristen Larsen, Central Connecticut State University professor of physics and earth sciences. The North East Region of the Astronomical League presented the CCSU professor with the Walter Scott Houston Award during the Stellafane Convention in Springfield, Vt., Aug. 10. According to NERAL, Larsen was selected for the honor because of her “distinguished legacy of creative work in astronomy education” at CCSU. “It is very significant to me that her vision back in 1994 was to bring more children into astronomy,” says Maryann Arrien, NERAL chairwoman. “We are very pleased to give this award to this esteemed astronomy educator who, early on, recognized the need to bring more youth into amateur and professional astronomy.” The award commemorates Houston, an English teacher, who
had a passion for the stars since boyhood. Throughout his life, he helped make amateur astronomy a popular pastime. At CCSU, Larsen teaches courses in cosmology and astrophysics as well as a course on women’s contributions to stellar and galactic astronomy.” In addition, Larsen runs educational “Night Sky” workshops for anyone interested in astronomy and a“Partners in Science” series for middle school students to inspire youth interest in astronomy. Known for her creative teaching methods, Larsen regularly incorporates science fiction movies, rock and roll music and popular culture into her educational efforts, making her one of the most revered professors at CCSU. Larsen is an alumna of the university, having received a bachelor of science degree in physics in 1984; in 2002 she was also honored with the Excellence in Teaching Award from CCSU.

Rock Cats’ Bill Dowling is reason Torrington sets social media rules for athletes enough to head to the ballpark By SCOTT WHIPPLE
STAFF WRITER
The Rock Cats may have one of the worst records in the Eastern League and Derek Jeter’s the longshot possibility of a rehab appearance tonight at New Britain Stadium may be the wispiest of rumors, but as a Bill Dowling aficionado I’ll take any excuse to share a dugout with the man. People are drawn to Dowling the way they were to President Reagan. Forget political differences; this Holyoke, Mass., native — ”When I was growing up we had more Irish Catholics than Killarney” — has the late President’s self-effacing humor. Yet, he’s pretty much in control of the situation. Last week at the ballpark, Dowling was named the 2013 “Sports Lawyer of the Year” by the Connecticut Bar Association’s Sports and Entertainment Law Section. Dowling was recognized for his success in leading and branding the Rock Cats Baseball Club, the Eastern League Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. In language that can only come from a legal association, CBA’s release stated that: “Now in his second successful decade as president and CEO, his efforts have resulted in the exponential growth of the team’s community engagement and fan attendance. Under his leadership, the Rock Cats have enjoyed 11 consecutive seasons of attendance growth, averaging 5,800 fans per game last season — a franchise record.” After attending Boston College Law School, Dowling started his legal career as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan. He was ultimately appointed chief state’s attorney of the criminal division and later named executive vice president and general counsel for the New York Yankees. He still practices law at the Manhattan firm of Wachtel and Masyr, LLP. Attorney Don Tutson who presented Dowling with the award has been Bill’s buddy for a dozen years. “That made the award special,” said Dowling. The award is given to an attorney whose work provides exemplary leadership and innovation in sports law in Connecticut. In fact, Tutson called Dowling “the finest example of how professionalism, generosity, and expertise can, and do, work well in the world of sports law.” Monday, at the ballpark Dowling seemed happy to get the platitudes out of the way so he could talk baseball. “What’s fascinating to me is that A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez) is acting like George [Steinbrenner} did in the old days, creating all this chaos. This is a time when the Yankees are trying to make the playoffs. It’s

a major distraction and I feel sorry for [manager] Joe Girardi. Some things should be taken care after the season.” Dowling was a consultant with the Rock Cats earlier this year when he got the call to return as president. “I had no illusions,” he said. “I was blindsided when John [Willi] was relieved as president. The franchise wasn’t moving where it should. I just wanted to make sure that the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby were a success. I’ll be here until the end of the year. At that time, I’ll decide the future.” Dowling stresses that he is not the long-term solution. “I’m trying to keep as many options open as possible,” he said. “I want morale to improve and I think it has, I wanted my brother, Bob, to come on board in media relations, and I think he’s done a wonderful job.” On the field, Dowling says he’s thrilled to have Miguel Sano as a prospect. “He has awesome power and a fantastic arm,” he said. “Scouts tell me there’s nobody in the league they would trade for him. He’s going to be great.” Whether Dowling decides to stay on for another year or retire, he says he wants to be remembered as somebody who helped people along the way, who never forgot where he came from. “I hope people are looking at New Britain in a more positive way,” he said. “We’re bringing folks in from the outside who realize this is a nice place to be.” Scott Whipple can be reached at (860) 225-4601, ext. 319, or swhipple@centralctcommunications.com.
TORRINGTON (AP) — Online taunting in a statutory rape case involving Torrington High School football players has prompted city officials to draft new social media rules for student athletes. High school sports team members would face a twoweek suspension for a first-time violation of the policies and a season-long suspension for a second violation, the Register Citizen reported. Students would be punished for posting belittling or meanspirited comments online or using derogatory language to describe someone’s race, gender or sexual orientation. They also would face discipline for posting about using drugs or alcohol. Existing school and state bullying rules apply to them as well. Officials reviewed school policies after two 18-year-old high school football players
were charged in February with sexually assaulting two 13-yearold girls, who were called derogatory names on Twitter after the arrests by supporters of the players. One of the players, Edgar Gonzalez, has pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault and awaits sentencing. The other player, Joan Toribio, has pleaded not guilty and his case is pending. Gonzalez was the football team’s most valuable player last year he was allowed to play last season despite facing a robbery charge that is also pending. Superintendent of Schools Cheryl Kloczko said after the girls were disparaged online that the school system will not tolerate students taunting other students or making inappropriate comments about school staff members on social media. She said students would face discipline, including possible suspension or expulsion.
Witness: plane was flying upside down when it crashed
(AP) — The airplane that struck two Connecticut homes this month, killing four people, was traveling upside-down as it sped nose-first toward the ground, according to a preliminary investigation report released Tuesday. The report by the National Transportation Safety Board does not reveal a possible cause for the Aug. 9 crash, which killed two people on board and two children on the ground. A student pilot who was driving on Interstate 95 told
investigators that he saw the plane traveling at a high rate of speed and upside-down as it descended near Tweed-New Haven airport. Investigators said previously that the plane was inverted when it hit one of the houses. The significance of the witness account remains to be determined. “They’ll use that as one piece of the investigation,” NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said. “It is consistent with how we found the wreckage.”
