Rocky Hill council one step closer to creating school security fund
By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Town and school officials made some critical decisions this week regarding school safety. The Town Council discussed the hiring of a security firm to evaluate schools in Rocky Hill at Volume 53, No. 19

their meeting Monday, and created a security fund to implement consultants’ recommendations. The Board of Education officially sanctioned the plan at their own meeting Monday. Councilors decided to forego their original idea — to add nearly $900,000, designated for sprinklers at West Hill School to the security fund. They were leaning toward asking voters to approve bonding for the cost of the sprinklers in a November referendum after their last meeting. This week, however, they agreed upon a different plan.

About 30 people celebrated this feat recently at Wethersfield’s First Annual Energy Oscars, held in the Pitkin Community Center. Sixteen residents were honored with awards for particularly critical efforts.

WHS Interact Club caps off year of humanitarianism Students presented charter commemorating club’s inaugural year
By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
A group of Wethersfield kids are saving the world before their families and teachers even give them wings and set them free. They are members of Wethersfield High School’s Interact Club, and their efforts were recognized by their families, school officials and members of the Wethersfield-Rocky Hill Rotary Club at Elaine’s Restaurant Monday evening. Interact stands for International Action and it describes these efforts
perfectly, as the teens have been working with the club on local and worldwide community service projects throughout the year. Almost 30 WHS students meet twice monthly to plan service projects with the help of School Librarian Nella Szilagyi, club advisor, and Julie Freel, a Rotarian. “I almost think of them as my own kids,” Szilagyi said Monday, during a banquet dinner, where Rotary District Governor Eileen Rau presented students with a charter officially commemorating their

It’s not just about me, me, me; it’s about all of us working together as a community to help each other out.” The kids demonstrated their knowledge of this earlier this year at the South Park Inn, a homeless shelter in Hartford where they prepared and served a meal. They also volunteered at the Taste of Wethersfield event and spring and fall fairs at the town’s elementary schools. “We also did Heroes and Hands, collecting goods for soldiers and their dogs — I think that was one of their favorites,” said Szilagyi, adding that the club’s last fundraising goal this year is $1,000 for Shelter Box, an international project started by Rotarians that provides lifesaving aid to families displaced by disasters. In order to meet their fundraising goal, students are garnering all grades at their school to compete in donating the most pocket change — called “penny wars.” For Club President Eric Mantziaris, 17, helping others is not a new concept. “I’ve been doing community service my whole life,” he said Monday, sitting among his classmates over dinner. “I started with the Special

We’ve done a lot of great things,” he added. “I’ve had a great time.” Rotary’s Interact Chair for the entire district, David Mangs, also addressed the kids Monday. “You’re part of a global movement,” he told them. “We are in a global village in a real sense and you people are going to be a force for good, for change. We really couldn’t be happier.” Rotarians’ next objective is to
establish an Interact Club at Rocky Hill High School, and continue growing the Wethersfield club. They’d especially like to encourage younger high school students to get involved. “We’re really proud of the accomplishment of being chartered but we still have a long way to go,” said Szilagyi.

DECA club proves marketing prowess at nationals By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Wethersfield High School students are among the top young marketing experts in the country, which they proved after placing in the top 10 percent at the DECA International Career Development Conference, held in Anaheim, Calif. at the end of April. For the third year in a row Wethersfield students won the state competition in February and moved on to nationals to vie against 16,000 others. This year, 12 out of the 20 students who attended received certificates of excellence for placing among the top 10 percent, and were one of just two groups from Connecticut to do so. Three seniors in particular — Kyle MacRae, 17, James Cavasino, 17, and Connor Trahan, 18, took First Place in the Fashion and Merchandising Promotional Plan division. When they realized they were one of just a few all-male groups among the 80 to 100 competing in the fashion and merchandising category, they were surprised, but not intimidated. “They said Mrs. Ricardi this is just going to be a sea of females,” remembers WHS Marketing Teacher Joanne Ricardi, who attended the conference with two other teachers. “It was awesome,” said James, who starred in the group’s commercial for Jos. A. Bank, the men’s
professional attire company they chose to employ in their marketing plan, which was aptly titled, “Suit Up.” “I think it was kind of an advantage because it differentiated us,” Kyle added of the gender gap. The commercial was just one of many parts of their presentation. They had to research and demonstrate all other aspects of advertising, identify a target market (16 to 22-year-old college students) decide how to get publicity, run special events, and determine a budget. “It’s all creative planning to help them increase sales,” Connor explained. “They really did a lot of research figuring out what this company was all about,” said Ricardi. Besides a formal audio-visual presentation, all students had to complete a 100-question multiple choice test and if they became finalists, an oral presentation and another test. Their six-day trip wasn’t all competitive academic events, however. The kids still got to be kids. “We went to Disney, we went to a Dodgers game,” said Kyle. “It was a lot of fun.” “You’d walk around with your name tag that had your name and the state you were from and meet different people from everywhere,” added James, who will study business at Bryant University in the fall, along with Connor. And the boys will continue their DECA

participation. “They created a collegiate DECA program and my brother is the one who founded Bryant’s program,” he explained. “He was a student in my class,” added Ricardi, smiling. The group’s graduating seniors
will likely move on to pursue their own careers in business, marketing, advertising and other related fields. Mrs. Ricardi hopes to increase the number of marketing students who participate in the school’s DECA events in the future. Three years ago, nine Wethersfield stu-
dents went to nationals, last year it was 15, and this year there were 20. “Our Principal, Tom Moore, has just been so supportive,” she said. Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 225-4601, ext. 210, or eschmitt@newbritainherald.com.

School security gaps Top of the class still, police officials say By DAVE COLLINS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Even after the Newtown school shootings in December, schools across Connecticut have potential security problems including propped-open or broken doors and overgrown bushes blocking views of school grounds, state police officials said Wednesday. Authorities in the state’s Office of Counter Terrorism described their findings at the annual Connecticut Emergency Management Symposium in Cromwell, where nearly 400 state and local authorities gathered to discuss response plans for emergencies and natural disasters. Detective Michael Grieder said he and Sgt. Kenneth Rigney of the counterterrorism office have evaluated security at 75 schools across the state at the request of local officials and about 90 percent of them had propped-open doors or other door problems. “Even though we’ve been talking about it, this is what we’re seeing,” Grieder said about school security discussions that have taken place statewide after the Newtown killings. Grieder and Rigney urged school officials to work with local and state law enforcement officials in taking simple, inexpensive steps to improve security, including fixing old doors, installing door alarms and rearranging offices so officials have a better view of outside areas. Grieder said other potential problems they’ve found include open janitor closets full of cleaning chemicals, hallways cluttered with items that could impair sight lines for emergency responders, inadequate access restrictions to school property and a glitch in key-card access systems installed in the wake of Newtown. Key-card systems, Grieder said,
have sensors inside the building that unlock the doors when someone approaches or stands near the exit. The problem, he said, is that people inside the building near the doors may not know that they’re setting off the sensors and causing the doors to remain unlocked. Grieder said that while there’s not much anyone can do to stop someone from doing harm in schools, steps can be taken to slow an attack and give emergency officials more time to respond and stop violent acts. The Dec. 14 killings of 20 firstgraders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School have prompted discussions across the country on school security and gun control. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy last month signed into law a sweeping gun control and school safety bill overwhelmingly approved by lawmakers. The law creates a new council to establish school safety infrastructure standards and authorizes $15 million in bonds for a new competitive grant program for school safety projects. The law requires school districts to take a number of steps aimed at improving security, including establishing a safety and security committee and plan for each school. It also mandates that public universities and colleges develop campus security plans, undergo safety audits and create threat assessment teams. Malloy said Wednesday at the symposium that Connecticut’s ability to respond to emergencies and natural disasters has improved in the last few years because of planning, drills and all the crises the state has faced including Newtown, this year’s blizzard and Superstorm Sandy last year. The governor noted that five of the 14 declared natural disasters in Connecticut’s history have come during his two-plus years in office.

House bars towns from banning dog breeds
(AP) — Cities and towns would be barred from banning particular dog breeds under legislation moving through the General Assembly. The House of Representatives voted 142-0 Tuesday in favor of forbidding the adoption of breed-specific dog ordinances. Proponents claim such ordinances lead to the unfair labeling of well-behaved pets as “bully breeds,” hurting the families that love them. The Humane Society of the United States has testified that breedspecific legislation does not enhance public safety or reduce dog bite incidents. Also, some proponents said such ordinances can lead to a large amount of certain dogs showing up in shelters that can’t be adopted. East Hartford Rep. Jason Rojas said no Connecticut municipalities have passed such ordinances, but some exist in other parts of the country. The bill awaits Senate action.
School board members to open gun store (AP) — Two Republican members of Enfield’s Board of Education are planning to open a gun store. The Journal Inquirer of Manchester reports board members Tom Sirard and Kevin Fealy along with a third man, Michael Brennan, plan to open the store, called “A Call to Arms” on Memorial Day weekend. Sirard told the newspaper he understands the timing appears awkward, coming five months after the fatal shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, but says the decision had nothing to do with that tragedy. He says plans for the store have been in the works for two years.

The funding will be used for things like replacement of older boilers, furnaces and central air-conditioning units in town facilities. There are also a lot of opportunities with lighting. “Motion sensor lighting can drastically reduce municipal ener-
gy use,” Munroe said. “Hopefully these rewards translate into less demand for the taxpayers of Wethersfield.” Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 225-4601, ext. 210, or eschmitt@newbritainherald.com.

P&Z OKs Plan of Conservation and Development Plan calls for improved mobility; redeveloping blighted properties among other recommendations By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Wethersfield just adopted a new 10-year plan that outlines what will change in the town over the next decade. It sounds like a serious thing, and it is. The town spent $60,000 and the last 18 months writing the 2013 Plan of Conservation and Development with the help of Avon-based firm Planimetrics, along with residents, business owners and municipal staff. The Town Plan & Zoning Commission voted to adopt the final product at their meeting Tuesday
evening, and it becomes effective June 1st. Its main themes, based upon online and telephone surveys, public hearings and department feedback, are maintaining the town’s character and quality of life while addressing development issues. Each section calls for different improvements. Mobility, for example, was a key area. The plan recommends enhanced pedestrian and cycling routes, improved sidewalks and public transit. The Silas Deane Highway was a particular area residents focused their concerns, asking for
blighted sites to be redeveloped and the evolution into a town center-like atmosphere. They clashed over certain suggestions for the state road, like building a center median and cutting it back to two lanes instead of four. Town officials, however, assured them that the plan’s recommendations are simply there as a guide and not set-in-stone. “Any changes to the Silas Deane Highway are going to require long discussions and approvals by the Department of Transportation anyway, so nobody felt particularly restricted to the recommendations in the plan,” said Town Planner Peter Gillespie, who has been a leader in this whole process.

The draft plan was basically final before Tuesday’s meeting; commissioners simply fine-tuned the language and made a couple of minor changes based on recent comment. The vote, however, was not unanimous. The plan moved forward 8-1, with Commisisoner Leigh Standish the only opposed. Standish criticized a section on pg. 48 that suggested the possibility of constructing a bandshell or similar structure to serve as a venue for local events. Other than that, commissioners reiterated their satisfaction with the revision process and the document, which the state requires the town to update once every ten years. “We really had a strong flavor for

One legislator compared it to the blood sports of ancient Rome. Another called it “appalling.” But the House of Representatives voted Tuesday to legalize mixed martial arts in Connecticut, one of two states that ban the sport. Queasiness over the nearly free-form combat sport was evident during the debate, but the real threat to legalization stems more from bare-knuckle politics: The Senate previously has blocked legalization in deference to organized labor. The biggest promoter in mixed martial arts is “Ultimate Fighting Championship,” whose owners have a significant stake in Station Casinos, one of the few non-unionized casino chains in Las Vegas. The political message to Ultimate Fighting has been clear: No unions in Vegas, no UFC matches at arenas in Hartford or Bridgeport. Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney, D-New Haven, was noncommittal Tuesday night about the bill’s prospects in the Senate, despite the overwhelming endorsement by the House on a 117-to-26 vote. “I understand there are still some labor-based concerns, as well as some substantive issues,” Looney said. “We’ll have to see where we are when we caucus it.” Lori Pelletier, the secretary-treasurer of the Connecticut AFL-CIO, said labor’s objections remain unchanged. “Clearly the people that own the Ultimate Fighting Championship, who also are part owners of the Station Casino, are demonstrating they are not good corporate citizens,” Pelletier said. “Why would we want to reward them by letting them do business here?” The other state that still bans mixed martial arts is New York. Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta are brothers with an ownership interesting in UFC and Station Casinos. “We are confident that if senators are allowed to vote on the bill, it will pass with strong bipartisan support,” said Lorenzo Fertitta, the Autobody chairman and chief executive officer of UFC. A spokeswoman for Station Casino told the Wall Street Journal in March that the company is not anti-union. “We’ve made it really clear that the door is open for a secret-ballot election,” she said.

Thundering across a field at a full canter toward his “adversary,” an 18th century horseman raises his sword and slashes through… a melon? Bolton resident David Loda will reenact this mock battle scene as Lt. Col. David Humphreys, aide-de-camp to General George Washington. The 5th annual Revolutionary War Encampment at theWebb-Deane-Stevens (WDS) Museum is Saturday, May 25, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, right after the Memorial Day Parade, which starts at 9 AM. (Admission to the parade and encampment is free; regular admission rates will be charged for the optional 60-minute tour of the museum.) Loda—a retired Navy pilot of this century — will demonstrate “horsemanship with arms,” skills from the 18th-century, including both sword and pistol. A dashing figure in full Continental uniform and tri-corn hat and astride his gleaming Morgan horse Huckleberry, Loda portrays Humphreys barreling across a battlefield toward a British “soldier” portrayed by a melon perched atop a post.

David Humphreys served as principal of the Wethersfield public school following his graduation from Yale University in 1771. During the American Revolution, he served as aide-de-camp to generals Putnam, Greene, and ultimately Washington. Loda’s portrayal of Humphreys is particularly significant as Wethersfield's Joseph Webb House is where General Washington and French Lieutenant General Rochambeau planned the joint military campaign for victory at Yorktown that won the American Revolutionary War. Humphreys had the honor of delivering the surrendered British flags from the Battle of Yorktown to the Continental Congress.

Firm likely to conduct safety analysis, recommend changes Continued from Page 1
“We decided to keep the money in the budget for sprinklers, not go to a referendum and see what the consultants’ study comes up with,” said Councilor Larrye deBear, who first proposed the security fund be created. “If their recommendations involve a large amount of money for what needs to get done in schools, we’d go to referendum for that,” he continued. Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, there have been ongoing meetings between the superintendent of
schools, town manager and Rocky Hill police. Officials reviewed a number of different security consulting firms for possible hire and narrowed their search down to one, Manhattan-based SecureWatch24. At their next meeting May 20, the town council will vote on a contract proposal presented by the firm and likely hire consultants to conduct an analysis of safety and security in schools. “Members of the Town Council and the Board of Education are concerned about what could be done to try to prevent as best they
can attacks like the one at Sandy Hook,” deBear explained. The Board recognized Monday “that maintaining the safety, security, and well-being of all students and staff in its public schools is critically important.” Their motion continued, “The Board of Education supports the hiring of a consulting firm specializing in school security to assist in the development of a plan for enhancing and improving the Board’s current school security measures in a comprehensive manner.” The new security fund current-

ly has $350,000 in it — funding originally designated in the town’s 2013-14 budget for the hiring of school resource officers to protect students and staff. Now, only after the firm conducts an analysis in schools and presents the town with recommendations to improve safety and security, will that funding will be put to use. “The feeling both among Board members and the Council was that bringing a firm on board to give us some recommendations on school security would be the right thing to do,” said Superintendent Dr. Mark Zito. After consulting with the experts, the town may or may not use funding to hire security officers, or take other measures like installing cameras and updating window and door locks. Town staff have already taken precautionary measures since the Newtown shooting, and are simply hoping to continue ensuring the safety of all schools. Since January there have been school lockdowns supervised by police, who provided staff with feedback on how to tighten up procedures. All employees are now required to wear identification badges at all times and building doors are locked at the end of the school day, forcing visitors to have pre-registered to enter. “We’ve also had a police presence in the form of uniformed officers
and cruisers at all schools at the beginning and end of each school day,” added Zito.
“The feeling both among Board members and the Council was that bringing a firm on board to give us some recommendations on school security would be the right thing to do.”
DR. MARK ZITO Rocky Hill superintendent of schools
Pending the Council’s approval of SecureWatch24’s contract at their next meeting May 20, the town will schedule a time for the firm to enter schools and conduct an analysis. “We’re hopeful that the study could be done within 90 days, but a lot will depend on what the consultants tell us is a reasonable time to give them,” explained deBear.

Don’t Let “Public Notices” Become “Government Notices” DON’T LET CONNECTICUT OFFICIALS REMOVE YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW FROM THE NEWSPAPER. KEEP PUBLIC NOTICES IN YOUR NEWSPAPER! Pending legislation may remove your right to read public notices in newspapers, moving them from the public domain to government controlled web sites. We’re concerned. And you should be, too. Public notices are an important tool in assuring an informed citizenry. They have helped develop America into a participatory democracy for hundreds of years and where it counts the most: how your tax dollars are spent, how policy is made and how our futures are charted. They are located in easy-to-find sections of your newspaper. And they are fully accessible to everyone - unlike the internet, which is not accessible to everyone.
Less than 10% of the U.S. population views a local, state or federal government website daily, according to the May 2009 release of U.S. Census Bureau, Annual Estimates of Resident Population. This means more than nine out of ten people may never see a given notice. This compares dramatically to the fact that 83% of adults read a community newspaper every week, according to the National Newspaper Association. Furthermore, a public notice printed in the newspaper produces a permanent record. The internet does not, nor does it assure timeliness. And a newspaper is archived for years; not subject to computer crashes and hackers. Newspapers are easily verifiable, fully transparent and represent a secure third party who has nothing to gain from any notice.
Connecticut’s recent ethical lapses shed a glaring light on the full meaning of this problem. It’s like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. Every public notice, which runs in a Connecticut daily newspaper, is automatically uploaded to that newspaper’s web site and CTPublicNotices.org. Newspapers are your watchdogs. Don’t let that role be changed now. Voice your opinion. To keep your notices in the newspaper, contact your local legislator to oppose Senate Bill #1112 - An Act Concerning the Publication of Legal Notices by Municipalities. Governor’s Office - 860.566.4840 Senate Democrats - 860.240.8600 House Democrats - 860.240.8500 Senate Republicans - 860.240.8800 House Republicans - 860.240.8700

CARFIT: HELPING MATURE DRIVERS FIND THEIR SAFEST FIT: Many older drivers have difficulty in fitting into their own cars well. Whether it is adjusting mirrors in order to see the blind spot, positioning seats to be far enough away from the steering wheel yet with enough room to reach the gas pedal, or getting the seat belt to fit comfortably, there are many adjustments that can be made to find the safest fit. CarFit was developed to meet this need.
