Effort to allow bear hunting in state defeated HARTFORD — Senate Democrats Thursday, May 18 blocked efforts to legalize bear hunting by amending the bill to instead prohibit the import or transport of lions, rhinoceroses, elephants, and lions.
House Democratic leaders said that bill also didn’t have the votes needed for adoption, but felt it had enough support outside the legislature to warrant debate. Both sets of action come as observers continue to watch how the current power dynamic will affect legislative
The amended bill was then referred to the Judiciary
“Politics are played in every chamber every day of the week,” Fasano, R-North Haven, said. He noted the Senate approved 42 bills on Wednesday, May 17. The vast majority were unanimous, with only eight receiving any opposition and none getting support from less than 26 Senators. The bear bill was the only piece of legislation the Senate took up May 18, though, and the chamber only approved one bill — a ban on conversion therapy for minors — the week prior.

Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, told reporters the change, which followed more than twoand-a-half hours of debate spread across two days, was warranted in part because the underlying bill to create a bear hunting season didn’t appear to have the votes needed for passage.
Around the same time, the House May 18 engaged in a 90-minute debate about joining a compact that would effectively utilize the popular vote to determine the presidential election winner, only to pull the bill without a vote.

body is settling into and getting used to the 18-18 numbers we have in the Senate,” he said. The Senate is tied at 18 members from each party after Republicans picked up three seats in November, forcing the two sides to reach a power sharing agreement just before the session started. House Democrats, meanwhile, hold a slim 79-72 majority, and House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz said the chamber follows a similar agreement whenever attendance results in a tie. Still, he said legislators have long understood the dynamic in the building, and the perception that split power will make the process difficult comes from the outside. “The realization is happening more out in the halls and within people’s district
Aresimowicz said he expects to run “a few bills that will be some time consumers.” Leaders from chambers said they were also negotiating the budget after adjourning mid afternoon.

“I think we understood the dynamic when it happened, but I’m getting many questions from the outside — advocates, constituents, liaisons, the like — saying I never thought you’d entertain such a subject. Dynamics change, we can’t unring
Prior to the start of the May 18 session, he and House Majority Leader Matt Ritter, D-Hartford, did acknowledge that it can be difficult to run bills expected to run along party-lines without full attendance from their caucus’ members.
HIGGINS BROTHERS’ VISION CARE
The Senate had been considering a bill that would allow the Department of Energy and Environmental Protec-
tion to create a bear hunting season, something the agency says will help address a surge in the black bear population in Connecticut. In an effort to garner more support for the bill, Sen. Craig Miner, R-Litchfield, offered an amendment to restrict it to Litchfield County, something Fasano said would have led to passage. Democrats instead offered several amendments that gutted the bill and changed it to ban transport of certain exotic animals. The bill failed at the committee level.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS
Week Recap by Cody Jennette
Ninth grade students in Plainville High School health classes recently participated in the Clothesline Project, researching and creating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;clotheslineâ&#x20AC;? of information and resources relative to all forms of domestic violence. The Clothesline Project exercise followed two visits from Prevention Coordinator
Tyshaunda Wiley, from the Prudence Crandall Center in New Britain, who delivered lessons on Dating Violence 101 and Sexual Assault 101 to the ninth grade classes. The Clothesline Project is a non-governmental organization created to bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence.

This past week for New Britain has been all about the long ball, making team history and achieving individual season firsts along the way. The week began with a home series against their cross town rival Bridgeport before heading to Pennsylvania for a weekend series in Lancaster. On Tuesday, Jon Griffin hit his first two home runs of the season. Michael Crouse followed with a homer in back to back games, then Yusuke Kajimoto went yard on Thursday, his first homer as a Bee. After Crouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to back performance, James Skelton went back to back on Thursday and Friday. Finally, after shots by Conor Bierfeldt and Jovan Rosa on Saturday, the Bees finished their week with 4 home runs on Sunday, 3 of them by Jamar Walton, the first individual 3 home run game in Bees history.

Much-needed project To the editor: On June 6 there will be an
all-day vote at the Plainville Fire Station regarding renovations to Wheeler Elementary School. I strongly encourage you to vote “yes” to this much-needed project. I have a very strong personal attachment to Wheeler. Not only did our son attend the school, but I taught and volunteered there as well. Wheeler is currently not up to current local, state, and federal code both inside and outside the school, including those required under the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Safety is another concern, not only in the drop-off/ pick-up areas but also in the vestibule area where it is difficult for the office staff to monitor visitors once they are admitted to the building. The current learning environment is in critical need of improvement. Some of the repairs and upgrades needed include roof, walls, windows and doors, as well as the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems. It is not uncommon to see buckets in the hallway and classrooms due to the leaking roof. In addition to other building and site code repairs and upgrades, Wheeler is the only school in the district that is not wholly air conditioned. Lastly, if we vote “yes” now, we can take advantage of a state reimbursement program (up to 65 percent) that may not be available after June 30. If we wait to make improvements, we risk increasing costs of building repairs and bringing the Wheeler building and site into compliance with the ADA. Investing in our schools benefits everyone – our children, our community and our property values. Your “yes” vote on June 6 is critically important for the success of this project. Maureen C. Briggs Plainville
Not the ‘perfect time’ To the editor: Registered voters get their say through referendum June 6 on the proposed renovations to the Wheeler school and the repaving of the high school parking lot at a total cost of $14.8 million (not the $13 million as some have stated) of additional debt to the taxpayers.
tures of Wheeler school and the PHS parking lot can understand the need for these improvements. In these economic times, expenditures such as this may seem frivolous to some, but please understand that investing in our public schools is perhaps the best economic development tool a town can have. There is extensive research on this topic, and time and time again studies have found a direct correlation between the quality of a school system and the value of the homes in that school system. Even when studying similar neighborhoods with different performing schools, these results were still the same. Better schools make a town more attractive to live in. Graduation rates and incomes rise, poverty drops, and the results are homes worth thousands of dollars more.
Town officials have encouraged us to pass this initiative by telling us this is the “perfect time” to take on these projects and that this borrowing will not increase our taxes. Really? How can they be so sure? Considering the absolute mess that is the state budget and the governor’s frantic attempts to get his budget under control by any means possible, including cutting state moneys sent to, and shifting costs to municipalities we really don’t know what our future Parents and children are very obligations to fund the town aware of what we are accomgovernment and the Board of plishing in Plainville and Education will be. our students thrive because we offer them high-qualIt’s easy to claim that if our future debt service is equiva- ity schools.

Bills aimed at youth cell phone use, ‘sexting’ threat to someone else. By Mike Savino Record-Journal staff
HARTFORD — State lawmakers are considering two bills related to the use of cellphones in schools. One of the bills, passed by the House Wednesday, May 17 would set guidelines for when school administrators or teachers are able to confiscate cell phones from students. The bill, which passed 1387, would allow teachers to confiscate a phone or other electronic device only if they have reasonable suspicion that it contains evidence that a student had violated educational policy or posed a
Teachers would then give the phone to an administrator, who could review only contents related to the suspected behavior. School officials would also be required to report to parents or guardians within 24 hours why the phone was confiscated and who was in possession of it. Rep. Andy Fleischman, D-West Hartford, co-chairman of the Education Committee, said the bill not only sets guidelines that protect students’ privacy, but clarifies for teachers when they are able to take such action. The Connecticut Education Association supported the bill in testimony submitted earlier this session.
Fleischman said the bill is also needed because some children share cellphones with parents or other relatives, and it would prevent school employees from turning suspicions into “fishing expeditions.” Rep. Sam Belsito, R-Tolland, repeatedly called the legislation a “bad bill,” saying students should instead be instructed to leave their phones in their lockers or at home. “This is a BS bill, and that means a bad solution to a problem,” he said. The House unanimously approved a bill earlier this month that would reduce penalties for “sexting” in some situations for children 12 and under, mirroring changes already made for
anyone between the ages of 13 and 17. The bill would make it a class A misdemeanor for minors who send a naked photo of themselves, or to be the knowing recipient of an explicit photo. Advocates say a previous law made the change only for teenagers because there was no concern at the time about anyone 12 or under possessing a cellphone. They say the change is needed, though, to make children eligible for diversionary programs if they are caught engaging in “sexting.” Without the change, they could be charged with possession of child pornography. The bill only applies when
all parents consent to the activity, and wouldn’t protect minors who take nude photos of unsuspecting victims. It also doesn’t apply to adults engaged in “sexting” with minors, or to recipient minors who then disseminate images to others. State Rep. Liz Linehan, a Democrat representing Cheshire, Southington and Wallingford, said both bills address the fact that kids are using cell phones to take sexually explicit pictures at younger and younger ages. “I think that the best thing that can come out of both of these bills is that parents are going to be made aware of it, and it will start a conversation with their child,” she said.

to honor the late state representative in town. “It’s a work in progress,” Town Manager Robert Lee said last week. Boukus died on Dec. 2 at age 73 after a battle with cancer. In February the Town Council formed a committee to honor her memory in Plainville. The committee recently met with Boukus’ husband and son.

Lee said it is a town-wide project and a work in progress with an “open-ended” timeline. “It’s always challenging to try to honor someone with years of service,” the town manager said. “It can be difficult and emotional.”

Human trafficking bill clears House, goes to Senate HARTFORD — A bill aimed at curbing human trafficking is awaiting action in the Senate after unanimously clearing the House last week. Before the vote, the House created one bill from portions of various proposals, including one from Rep. Liz Linehan, D-Cheshire, whose district includes part of Wallingford. Lawmakers from both parties stressed the need for the bill amid evidence that human trafficking is growing in Connecticut, the nation and the world. The International Labor Organization estimates that the industry makes as much as $150 billion a year. The National Human Trafficking Hotline says there were 7,572 reported cases of human trafficking in the U.S. last year, up from 3,279 in 2012. In Connecticut, there were 54 reported cases last year, up from 27 in 2012. Those figures don’t include referrals to the state Department of Children and Families for cases involving minors, which rose from 44 to 193 during the same time span. “It is unbelievable to me ... to know in our state that we have such a problem with young children being trafficked,” said Rep. Noreen Kokoruda, R-Madison, one of the co-sponsors of the bill approved in the House on Wednesday, May 17. “I know more than I would ever want to know about this issue.” The bill would raise the crime of trafficking in persons to a Class A felony, punishable by 10 to 25
It would also establish a new crime for engaging in the sexual abuse of a minor, creating increased penalties for anyone who pays to have sex with an underage victim. Under current state law, patronizing a prostitute is a Class C felony if the person is under 18. The proposal, borrowing from Linehan’s bill, would make it a class A felony to pay for sex with a victim under the age of 15, and a Class B felony for anyone 15 to 18. The final bill didn’t include Linehan’s proposal to make someone register as a sex offender after two convictions of the offense. The final bill would also add members to the Trafficking in Persons Council, including a victim appointed by the governor, and require the council to recommend additional legislation by January 2018. Additionally, it would require the Department of Children and Families to come up with training on identifying victims for law enforcement; judges, prosecutors, and criminal defense attorneys; emergency medical personnel; and education officials, including those at public universities and colleges.

“They’ve done such an awesome job and they’ve become role models for all the younger students that want to join the program,” said Camille Westfall, technology education teacher at the middle school.
“They have to become creative really quickly,” said Laurel Schwartz, music teacher and robotics coach. She said the students often have to deal with changing their robot designs quickly before and during competitions.
Three years ago the Petit Family Foundation gave the middle school a grant to take part in VEX IQ Robotics and form a team. VEX IQ is a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) robotics program. Now several teams exist and have won the State VEX IQ Competition all three years. The members of the middle school program plan and create robots using data, research and various strategies. “It’s cool to see everyone’s ideas,” said Jacob Molloy, a member of the program. He and his team “Salt Crew” was able to win the team work challenge award along with their classmates’ team “Brain Bots.” Other members took home first place in the Technology Bowl, a question and answer
Students need to score the highest points possible while working with other teams. Some areas of competition include transporting an object on a robot from one end of the competition arena to the other. During Worlds in Kentucky, the students had to learn to communicate with teams from other countries that did not speak English as their first language. “This is a rigorous program,” Schwartz said. Many students continue on through the robotics program at the high school. Next month, a few of the middle school teams will have the opportunity to compete in the National Technology Student Association (TSA) VEX Championship in Florida. © 2017 Klaus Larsen LLC All Rights Reserved

It is the first Gold Star memorial in Plainville. Resident Bob Doolittle, an Air Force veteran during the Vietnam era, brought the idea to the Town Council last year after seeing a Gold Star memorial while traveling in Arizona. “I just couldn’t get it out of my mind,” he said.
The Town Council formed a committee consisting of Doolittle, Town Manager Robert Lee, councilors, members of the parks and recreation board, local leaders of the VFW and American Legion, as well as staff members from Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty’s office.
Chase said she is looking forward to attending the service with her husband Mark and two sons; a police officer and teacher in town. “They never knew their uncle,” she said. “I see him through them.”
