Two years ago, state Sen. Len Fasano became Republican Pro Tempore, the closest a Republican has come to presiding over a chamber since 1994, after his party forced an 18-18 tie in the Senate. It was the result of Republicans making regular electoral gains over nearly a decade, going from a 24-12 disadvantage in the Senate after the 2008 election to a tie in 2016. Fasano, R-North Haven, returned to being Senate minority leader Jan. 9, when Democrats regained control with a 23-13 majority. “There’s always a role for us to play,” he said during a recent interview for the “Morning Record” podcast. “Sometimes it’s a spoiler role and sometimes its a slowdown role, but we do have a role to play”

The interview is part of a “Morning Record” series previewing the upcoming legislative session.

Revolution Fitness Clubs plans to open its first location on Route 5 in midFebruary.

Perrone said he started developing the concept a few years ago.

The club will open in a plaza at 87 Washington Ave., in the the former Retro Fitness storefront. Owner Jason Perrone, of Orange, has more than a decade of experience in health club man2agement, including CrossFit. He expects equipment to be delivered and installed in the 12,000 square foot space next month. “The concept is different than the traditional style health club,” Perrone said. “It's got a lot of plates, a lot of dumbbells, it's really a club built for exercisers and

January is Radon Action Month The Connecticut Public Health Department, in conjunction with the United States Environmental Protection agency, has proclaimed January as Radon Action Month and urges all Connecticut residents to test their homes for radon and, if necessary, to mitigate high concentrations. Radon is naturally occurring colorless and odorless radioactive gas that is often found in soil and bedrock. Since radon is a gas, it moves easily through rock and soil and into the air. Outdoors, radon levels are low, but in an enclosed space like a house, radon can increase to a high level. Radon can enter a home through a dirt cellar floor, cracks in the foundation, joints between a concrete floor and walls, through sump pump drains and other openings. Also, it can be released into the home by running water from showers, faucets and washing machines. The source of the water can be groundwater within a rock formation that contains a high concentration of radon. Long-term exposure to high levels can increase one’s risk

of developing lung cancer. Public health officials have determined that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. When exposure to radon is combined with smoking or inhaling secondhand smoke, the risk may increase dramatically. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that radon causes 20,000 lung cancer deaths per year in this country.

ing for radon during the months of January and

February is recommended. -- Press Release

The only way to know if your home has a high radon level (greater than 4 picocuries per liter) is to test for it. A picocurie is a measure of the rate of radioactive decay of radon. Radon levels tend to be higher during the winter months when homes are closed to the outside air and when the heating systems that require combustion of fuel are in use. The combustion sometimes creates a negative pressure within the basement and results in the infiltration of outside air through the openings previously discussed. The operation of bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans and the use of clothes dryers contribute to the negative pressure. Test-

Aresimowicz looks ahead to last session as House speaker By Mike Savino Record-Journal staff

Aresimowicz’s final term will also give his caucus a much more comfortable majority than he had in his first term as speaker — Democrats, who had a 79-72 majority after the 2016 election, now have a 9259 edge.

During the recent campaign, House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz repeatedly said this upcoming term in the General Assembly will be his last. Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, who narrowly won re-election, isn’t concerned the decision will affect his ability to preside over the chamber. The legislature returned Wednesday.

Democrats will also have a 2313 advantage in the Senate after having to share power due to an 18-18 split the past two years. Still, Aresimowicz said he wants to continue working with Republicans, building on the bipartisan budget that was passed in September 2017.

“My ability to be speaker is more about relationships than it is power,” Aresimowicz said during a recent interview for the “Morning Record” podcast. His district includes a part of Southington.

He’s not willing to eliminate any options for the upcoming

budget. “The easy cuts, if you will — and none of them really were, but the easier cuts, they’re all gone...,” he said. “If we’re going to change and cut more, than we’re going to have to change how we do business.” A self-proclaimed “eternal optimist,” Aresimowicz said he’s hopeful Gov. Ned Lamont will have a good working relationship with the legislature. At the same time, Aresimowicz said, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, among the least popular governors in the country, will be remembered more favorably over time for making difficult decisions.

Refuse collection unchanged by MLK Day Refuse collection for the week of Jan. 21 will be unchanged, according to the North Haven Public Works Department.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE

Funding, achievement gap likely topics for panel By Kathleen Megan © The Connecticut Mirror

The leadership of the legislature’s Education Committee will be almost completely new this session, but the many of the committee’s perennial issues — education funding and the state’s achievement gap — are likely to continue to be center stage. Rep. Robert Sanchez, D-New Britain, a new co-chairman of the committee, said he believes that the state’s Education Cost Sharing formula — used to distribute the state’s main education grant — needs to be tweaked or possibly reworked. He said that many school systems are still getting the same amount of money they got years ago. “If we tweak the formula it may be that some towns will get less, but that makes sense if you are down 50 children,” Sanchez said. “There’s a lot to look into. We have to sit down with the unions, the local boards of education. I want everyone at the table.” But Senate Minority leader and Education Committee member Len Fasano of North Haven said that the latest iteration of the cost sharing formula was achieved through a bi-partisan effort and that it should be maintained. “It took into account all of the factors that are important: the Grand List, poverty, [English Language Learners] ….” Fasano said, mentioning several other factors. “This went through many eyes: Republicans, Democrats, the administration… Any talk about changing the formula disturbs me. In fairness, we came up with the answer.”

and couldn’t be reached. Sen. Doug McCrory, D-Hartford, the new vice-chairman of the committee, didn’t mince words on the funding formula. “Personally, I think we need to start all over and scrap ECS,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with starting over. What we have done hasn’t worked for awhile.” McCrory said another priority for him is reducing the “opportunity gap” for students who are not achieving at acceptable levels, as well as raising the achievement levels of students who are already doing well.

dents. A bill on social-emotional learning made it through the house last year but stalled in the Senate, she said. McCarty also expects that a school safety bill passed by the legislature last year but later vetoed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will probably return, perhaps in a modified way. Sanchez, who worked with pre-school children for 20 years, said another key issue for him is obtaining fair

salaries for pre-school teachers. Sanchez said he’d also like to see funding for more paraprofessionals to assist special education teachers. Those no longer on the education committee include longtime education co-chairman Rep. Andy Fleischmann, D-West Hartford, who lost his bid for re-election in a primary; Sen. Gayle Slossberg, DMilford, a former education co-chairwoman who declined

to run again this year; and veteran Sen. Toni Boucher RWilton, who was also a cochairwoman of the education committee and was defeated in November.

Sanchez was vice-chairman of the Education Committee last year. Sen. Beth Bye, D-West Hartford, was named co-chairwoman of education but then was tapped by Ned Lamont to lead the Office for Early Childhood.

National tests have shown that Connecticut’s achievement gap between socio-economic and racial groups has narrowed a bit for certain grades and subject areas and widened for others, but still remains one of the largest in the country. Another key issue for education legislators is charter schools, which are public schools that are publiclyfunded and privately managed. Sanchez said he hasn’t been “a real big supporter of charter schools,” but he has been willing to compromise. “My biggest feeling is we really need to work on the [neighborhood] public school system and fix whatever we can there before we start concentrating on opening up new charter schools,” Sanchez said.

By Ashley Kus Record-Journal staff

Children and adults can learn to ice skate this winter with the help of the team at Northford Ice Pavilion.

Topic for the meeting is “Growing in Parenthood in the New Year.” Pregnant women and mothers and babies are always welcome.

The Record-Journal recently stopped by to talk to Anne Buccino-Katz, director of the Learn to Skate program, Sydney Hogan, a skating instructor, Mary Anne Ferro, a skating instructor, and Debbie Roos, rink office manager.

For more information, call or text Marcella at 203-4358512 or email Alyssa at Alyssa.D@lllct.org.

Q: How long have you been involved with ice skating? Buccino-Katz: Probably over 40 years. Hogan: I would say maybe 10 years. Ferro: About 43 years. Roos: Probably 45 Q: What got you into ice skating? Buccino-Katz: My mother was in the Ice Follies (a touring ice show.) Hogan: My mother was also an ice skater. Ferro: It’s just something I always enjoyed and I love working with the kids. Roos: My family. Q: What is your background in coaching? Buccino-Katz: I love working with the kids, that’s my background. My education is early childhood education Hogan: Well I’m in college right now, I go to Eastern Connecticut State University and I’m majoring in education. Mostly early childhood, it helps because I work with kids a lot.

The North Haven Ski Club is accepting membership applications for the season. The club has planned bus trips for Sunday, Jan. 13 to Killington; Saturday, Feb. 2 to Killington and Sunday, Feb. 24 to Stratton. New members can join on the bus or at any time. Reservations are being accepted.

Q: What are the levels or ages being taught here? Buccino-Katz: We teach tots from three and four-years old through adults. Q: What is the Learn to Skate program about? Buccino-Katz: The children will either turn to figure skating or hockey. We have a synchronized skating team as well here at Northford that the kids can join. They can either do competitive skating or just testing. We also teach hockey. Q: What skills are you teaching? Buccino-Katz: There’s a program that Learn to Skate USA has put out that we follow. So there’s different levels within that program. There’s probably five to seven skills in each level. Once the kids are ready to move on the teachers will have them tested, I’ll test them, and if they’re ready, they’ll move up to the next level. Some skills are swizzles, rocking horse, then there’s a one-foot glide. Ferro: Backward skating too. As they climb up the ladder

He also said Gov.-elect Ned Lamont appears “more open and more inclusive” than outgoing Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.

One area where Fasano expects bipartisan collaboration is on health care, noting he and Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney, DNew Haven, have worked together on a number of bills since 2010. He also thinks the legislature will be able to adopt sports gambling, with the biggest obstacle being talks with the state’s two tribal casinos. Fasano is more critical of the legalization of recreational marijuana, saying the decision shouldn’t be made for financial reasons.

“Very rarely is there a consensus endorsement, enthusiastically. and that's what you had this evening. So terrific work on the hiring committee,” Erardi said. Anderson said the community surveys were a big part of the final decision. “From looking at some of those surveys, (Stirk) encompasses everything,” Anderson said. “He's not just (focused) on education — that's the main thing — but he's looking at the arts, he's looking at sports, he's looking to find a way to bring everything together and ensure that we have the
