Change-makers recognized William Petit Jr.’s Plainville home on June 6.
Citing the work they’ve done to improve their communities, two local youth were presented with the Petit Family Foundation’s Be the Change award.
Petit, the foundation’s president, said the two were inspirations for their peers to get involved in their towns and noted both helped find younger students who could continue their work after they begin college.
The annual recognition is given to one graduating senior each from Cheshire High School and Plainville High School. This year’s recipients, Alexa Confrancesco and Andrew Kane, received the award at

Each Be The Change award recipient receives a $1,000 grant and directs a further $500 donation to a nonprofit of their choice on behalf of the Petit Family Foundation.
Meriden resident Jannett Johnson said being able to take a ride in the historic plane, which still consists of parts made over 75 years ago, was a once-ina-lifetime experience made even more powerful knowing her own father was in the war.

“We wanted to reward people, but also allow them to give back to the charities they worked for,” Petit said. Lights of Hope When she moved to Cheshire four years ago, Alexa Confrancesco didn’t waste any time getting involved in community service. She began volunteering for the nonprofit Lights of Hope, which sells luminaries which are placed throughout the town each year.

The star of the show on this picture-perfect day was the North American AT-6A Texan, an old training aircraft used during World War II. Saturday, it took passengers on low banks and flyovers, letting out the occasional trail of mineral oil smoke.
gine roared to life and it made its way toward the runway, families who had been checking out the half dozen other planes parked nearby crowded near the runway to watch the warbird lift off.

A Tax Break to Help Working Caregivers Pay for Day Care Paying for day care is one of the biggest expenses faced by working adults with young children, a dependent parent, or a child with a disability, but there is a tax credit available to help working caregivers defray the costs of day care (called “adult day care” in the case of the elderly). In order to qualify for the tax credit, you must have a dependent who cannot be left alone and who has lived with you for more than half the year. Qualifying dependents may be the following: • A child who is under age 13 when the care is provided • A spouse who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care • An individual who is physically or mentally incapable of selfcare and either is your dependent or could have been your dependent except that his or her income is too high ($4,150 or more) or he or she files a joint return. Even though you can no longer receive a deduction for claiming a parent (or child) as a dependent, you can still receive this tax credit if your parent (or other relative) qualifies as a dependent. This means you must provide more than half of their support for the year. Support includes amounts spent to provide food, lodging, clothing, education, medical and dental care, recreation, transportation, and similar necessities. Even if you do not pay more than half your parent’s total support for the year, you may still be able to claim your parent as a dependent if you pay more than 10 percent of your parent’s support for the year, and, with others, collectively contribute to more than half of your parent’s support. The total expenses you can use to calculate the credit is $3,000 for one child or dependent or up to $6,000 for two or more children or dependents. If you spent $10,000 on care, you can only use $3,000 of it toward the credit. Once you know your work-related day care expenses, to calculate the credit, you need to multiply the expenses by a percentage of between 20 and 35, depending on your income. (A chart giving the percentage rates is in IRS Publication 503) For example, if you earn $15,000 or less and have the maximum $3,000 eligible for the credit, to figure out your credit you multiply $3,000 by 35 percent. If you earn $43,000 or more, you multiply $3,000 by 20 percent. (A tax credit is directly subtracted from the tax you owe, in contrast to a tax deduction, which decreases your taxable income.) The care can be provided in or out of the home, by an individual or by a licensed care center, but the care provider cannot be a spouse, dependent, or the child’s parent. The main purpose of the care must be the dependent’s well-being and protection, and expenses for care should not include amounts you pay for food, lodging, clothing, education, and entertainment. To get the credit, you must report the name, address, and either the care provider’s Social Security number or employer identification number on the tax return. Review your personal situation with your tax professional to see how these rules affect you. Robert Scalise is a partner of Ericson Scalise & Mangan PC.

of the Wings and Wheels planning committee, said this year’s event was larger than ever, with the addition of 17 food trucks and a touch-atruck. Also, the hours were expanded to 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., adding four hours to the event.
“Being above it all and looking down … things look so tiny,” Johnson said.
“It’s a great way for the community to spend a day together,” and do good at the same time, Palmiere said.
Nicole Palmiere, a member
Proceeds from the event are
split between the Petit Family Foundation and the Plainville Food Pantry. Palmiere said the goal was to raise between $13,000 and $15,000 for each of the nonprofits. Nick Scata, owner of the company which man-
ages the airport, Interstate Aviation, said the show had something for everybody. While a ride in the warbird cost $265 and could only seat one passenger at a time, a five-minute trip See Wings, A11

Recently, she helped revive the Lights of Hope Club at CHS and led it in raising $700 in a bake sale and another $200 through a unique fundraiser where students threw pie in the face of the school’s principal. The club now has 90 members and contributed to Lights of Hope selling out of luminaries for the first time last year. “It feels nice that my hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed,” said Cofrancesco. Live streaming church Andrew Kane made his contribution through Faith Living Church in Southington, where he used his expertise in technology to help with the audio and video equipment, leading to the creation of a live stream for parishioners to watch services away from church.

“It provides an elevated experience for the people who come to my church,” he said. “It’s been a lot of fun, but I know that I do a lot of good for people too.” Kane directed his $500 Be the Change allotment towards Code.org, a nonprofit which aims to expand computer literacy. While Kane said he was fortunate to attend a district with a strong technology program, he said many districts have inadequate resources and benefit from partnerships with organizations like Code.org. Petit said the hard work students put in to improve not only themselves, but their communities, is often overlooked when awards are being given out. “It honors the kids for what they do … and hopefully inspires more,” he said.
The Be the Change award was in part inspired by his own daughter, Hayley Petit, reacting to her mother’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis by captaining the MS Walk team Hayley’s Hope and raising $55,000 for the MS Society.

A mistake to weaken FOIA
It is understandable that Connecticut state troopers want protections against the public release of information in their personnel files, at least in cases where there has been an investigation that found no wrongdoing by the officer involved.
gations and discipline imposed on troopers. Colleen Murphy, executive director of the state Freedom of Information Commission, told The Associated Press that to maintain public confidence state police should be required to release records of all misconduct investigations, whether or not the allegations were sustained.
It comes down to a question the Roman poet Juvenal asked, a very long time ago: “Who will guard the guards themselves?” While we believe that most police “It's our obligation to our officers are honorable and members to protect and conscientious, it seems to defend their good reputaus that those employees tions,” said Andrew whom the public entrusts Matthews, the state police with the power of arrest — union's executive director. even with the power of life Fair enough. But advocates and death — must be subfor government transparen- ject to adequate oversight. cy worry that the language Even in cases where a state of the state troopers’ new trooper may be accused of contract, which has now been approved by both the a wrongful action, and then House and Senate, could cleared, we agree with be interpreted in a way that Murphy that “The public would keep secret the recan see that process and sults of misconduct investi- feel good that someone
was exonerated, or feel it wasn’t investigated properly.” Wouldn’t that tend to increase the public’s confidence in, and respect for, their state troopers? Another principle involved here is the question of whether the state can, or should, enter into a union contract that appears to exempt members of one union from a state law — in this case, the Freedom of Information Act, Connecticut’s landmark law promoting open government, which has been on the books since 1975. “FOI, to me, should not be subject to collective bargaining,” Senate Minority Leader Leonard A. Fasano, R-North Haven, told the Journal Inquirer, of Manchester. “That’s a public policy issue.” Weakening the Freedom of Information Act — which is what the General Assembly has done — does not serve the people of Connecticut well.

around Plainville in a helicopter was a relatively small sum at $30. Lifestar was on-scene much of the morning to show off its cabin and allow the public to speak with the crew. The Lifestar contingent had to take off for a call shortly after noon. Brandon Berlin, a pilot with Premier Flight Center, said he hopes to see more people become interested in aviation, particularly the children who clamored into the two seats of the Piper PA-28 they had flown in to Robertson from Hartford to show off for the day. “They see things in the sky
and they wonder if that could be them one day, and then get to see it on the ground,” Berlin said. While his son, Reid Caravaca, inspected the propeller and landing gear of a plane, Plainville resident Alex Caravaca said opening up the airport for the day and having so many residents visit builds up the community and gives families something to do together. “I was always interested in aviation as a little boy. I remember my dad showing me how wings work,” Caravaca said, adding that it’s nice to be able to share an experience like Wings and Wheels with his son. dleithyessian@ record-journal.com 203-317-2317 Twitter: @leith_yessian

The General Assembly has approved a new contract that includes raises for state troopers, following arbitration. Unfortunately, it also undermines the principle of open government.
