FEMA fears 25% of Keys homes wrecked

Parts of Florida could
be without power
for 10 days or longer
By JASON DEAREN
and MARTHA MENDOZA
Associated Press
Lower Matecumbe Key, Fla. — With
25 percent of the homes in the Flori-
da Keys feared destroyed, emergency
workers Tuesday rushed to find Hur-
ricane Irma’s victims — dead or alive
— and deliver food and water to the
stricken island chain.
As crews labored to repair the lone
highway connecting the Keys, resi-
dents of some of the islands closest
to Florida’s mainland were allowed to
return and get their first look at the
devastation.
“It’s going to be pretty hard for
those coming home,” said Petrona
Hernandez, whose concrete home on
Plantation Key with 35-foot walls was
unscathed, unlike others a few blocks
away. “It’s going to be devastating to
them.”
But because of disrupted phone
service and other damage, the full
extent of the destruction was still a
question mark, more than two days
after Irma roared into the Keys with
130 mph winds.
Elsewhere in Florida, life inched
closer to normal, with some flights DAVID GOLDMAN/AP PHOTO

CG Academy finds building drains shower water into Thames

Estimated total output
from locker room is
33,600 gallons a year
By MARTHA SHANAHAN
Day Staff Writer
New London — Water from show-
ers and locker room floors in a Coast
Guard Academy building has been
draining into the Thames River for 85
years, academy facilities workers dis-
covered while fixing a clogged drain
last month.
The water lines flowing from a
women’s staff locker room in Billard
Hall, one of the original buildings on
the New London campus and built in
1932, were connected to a storm water
pipe that runs into the river, according
to Coast Guard Academy spokesman
David Santos.
In an Aug. 31 letter to Department
of Energy and Environmental Protec-
tion Commissioner Rob Klee, Cmdr.
Josh Fant, academy facilities engi-
neer, estimated that the total drain-
age into the Thames from the locker
room amounts to 33,600 gallons a
year, or more than 2.8 million gallons
since 1932.
The discovery follows a similar
revelation in March that more than
810,000 gallons of untreated waste-
water over 20 years had been emp-
tying into the Thames River from
Roland Hall, a newer athletic building
next to Billard Hall that was built in
1967.
Following the Billard Hall discovery,
the academy is planning a review of
the water, storm drain and sewer line
infrastructure across the campus to
determine if any other improper water
connections exist.
Ryan McCammon, an inspector for
the Ledge Light Health District, said
Tuesday that the health district has
been notified of the discovery and the
repair.
Because of the daily discharge into
the river — an estimated 140 gallons
a day — was “extremely minute” in
relation to the millions of gallons that
flow through the river daily, he said
the likelihood of any environmental
or health effects was minimal.
“We’re happy that they found it
and they’ve made permanent correc-
tions,” he said.
Both DEEP and the health district
can issue fines to those that improper-
ly discharge water into waterways, but
McCammon said Ledge Light would
not fine the Coast Guard Academy in
this case because the problem was
promptly corrected.
Ledge Lights conducts tests for
bacteria and other contaminates
weekly at two locations along the riv-
er’s shoreline — Greens Harbor Beach
in New London and Eastern Point
Beach in Groton — every summer,
McCammon said.
Any contamination health district
officials have found in the 20 years
they have conducted the tests was
unlikely to have originated at the
Coast Guard Academy, he said.

Mohegan Gaming elevating chief financial officer to top post

He will replace Mitchell Etess, who returned when Bobby Soper abruptly resigned in February

Mohegan — Mario Kontomerkos,
credited with overseeing Mohegan
Gaming & Entertainment’s improv-
ing financial outlook as chief financial
officer, will become the casino opera-

pany announced Tuesday.
His promotion is effective Oct. 16.

SUBMITTED PHOTO Madison with his wife and children,
Mario Kontomerkos. will replace Mitchell Etess, the for-
mer Mohegan chief executive who
returned on an interim basis when
Bobby Soper abruptly resigned in
February.
Formerly known as the Mohegan
Tribal Gaming Authority, MGE op-
erates Mohegan Sun in Uncasville
and Mohegan Sun Pocono in Wil-

in Atlantic City, N.J., Washington
state and Louisiana. It also is lead-
ing a partnership pursuing develop-
ment of a resort in South Korea and

Pequot Tribe on a third Connecticut
casino in East Windsor.
In his new role, Kontomerkos will
oversee all of MGE’s day-to-day op-
erations, including “ongoing brand
growth,” the company said in a state-
ment.
Kevin Brown, chairman of the Mo-
hegan Tribal Council, which serves
as MGE’s management board, said
the board was “extremely diligent”
in searching for Soper’s successor.
He said the board had face-to-face
interviews with three finalists before
choosing Kontomerkos.
“We wanted to make sure we didn’t
make the mistake of not looking out-
side,” said Brown, who spoke from
Washington, D.C., where he was at-
tending an event sponsored by the

police say they were called to
the restaurant Friday night for
a woman going into labor. They
say the parents were on the way
to the hospital but got stuck in

then helped the woman deliver

BOY, PARENTS DIE

IN VOLCANIC CRATER
Three people — an 11-year-old
boy and his parents — died after
they fell into boiling mud in a
volcanic crater in Pozzuoli, an
Italian city not far from Naples.
The family was visiting Solfatara, a
shallow volcanic crater frequented
by tourists, on Tuesday when the
boy wandered into a restricted
area and slipped into a nearly
10-foot-deep pit, the Italian news
agency ANSA reported. His father
and mother fell into the hole
trying to save him. It was not clear
whether they were killed because
of the heat or whether they were
overcome by the sulfurous fumes

5 YEARS AFTER
BENGHAZI, SEARCH
FOR JURY STARTS
Washington — Five years after
lethal attacks in Benghazi on U.S.
diplomatic and intelligence facili-
ties, potential jurors arrived Tues-
day in federal court in Washington
in preparation for the terrorism
trial of the accused leader of the
assaults in Libya. Potential jurors
answered 28 pages of questions
that plumbed their views on
issues that have confronted and
roiled the country for more than
a decade. The 130 questions
extended beyond routine vetting
queries about employment,
education and previous jury
experience to ask about views on
whether the U.S. government acts
fairly toward mostly Muslim coun-
tries and aggressively enough to
fight terrorism. The questionnaire
is the first phase in trying to seat
a jury for the trial of Ahmed Abu
Khattala, 46, who has pleaded not
guilty to all charges of conspiring
in the attacks on Sept. 11 and 12,
2012, that killed U.S. Ambassador
J. Christopher Stevens and three
other Americans.

strategist Stephen Bannon, writer
Milo Yiannopoulos and other
provocative figures are expected
to speak at the University of Cali-

at a “Free Speech Week” planned
by a conservative student group.
The Berkeley Patriot, a student
group, invited Yiannopoulos
and the others in a bid to ensure
that a wide range of viewpoints
could be heard after controversial
speakers sparked protests and
cancellations on campus last
semester. But a university official
warned that administrators do not
have the information they need to
guarantee security.

Foxwoods officially unveils Thrill Tower
By BRIAN HALLENBECK

Mashantucket — For Felix

“It was very, very exciting,”
Butler said. “I’d definitely do it

constitute the Foxwoods Thrill
Tower, have been operating

Signs of (small) bipartisan thaw in Washington

Maybe the
man who C ould the deal President Trump
reached with Senate Minority Lead-
er Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and House
campaigned Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,
as the ulti- which raised the debt ceiling and provid-
ed seed money for hurricane relief, signal

maker will care and tax policy?
start doing Most Americans, who would actually
more of that like to see their government accomplish
things, would welcome such a change in
by reaching Washington.
across party In search of other silver linings, we note
lines. that the Senate Health, Education, La-
bor and Pensions Committee,  chaired by
Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., has been
holding hearings the last two weeks on
possible steps to stabilize the individual
insurance market under the Affordable
Care Act.
That’s right, genuine committee hear-
ings, with expert witnesses of varying po-
litical and policy persuasions providing
input to senators of both parties.
Also pending is the release of a plan by
Govs. John Kasich of Ohio and John Hick-
enlooper of Colorado, a Republican and
Democrat, respectively, on the steps that
they would take to fix the ACA.
Meanwhile, as the public waits and
waits and waits for the details of how
Trump would reform the tax system to
spur job and wage growth, the adminis-
tration has reached out to moderate Dem-
ocrats in the Senate to determine what
they could support.
There is no reason to get carried away,
of course. The modest deal to raise the
debt ceiling only put the problem off un-
til December and the $22 billion for FE-
MA’s disaster relief fund is at best a down
payment given the hurricane damage in
southeast Texas and all of Florida. It’s too
soon to say whether the deal was an aber-
ration or a trend.
Yet Trump appeared to relish the fact
that something was accomplished, even
if it meant 90 of his fellow Republicans
voted “no” in the House and 17 balked in
the Senate.
The president has watched the Republi-
cans fail to meet their long-stated goal of
repealing and replacing “Obamacare.” His
administration shared the blame (though
Trump does not see it that way) by failing
to offer its own specific replacement plan
and working to get the votes to pass it.
The president left things to the House and
Senate Republican leaders, which showed
there was no Republican consensus on
how to proceed.
Not an ideologue, and seemingly ad-
verse to sweating the details of legisla-
tion, Trump could well accept as at least
a temporary victory a bipartisan plan
that tweaks Obamacare and keeps folks
insured. Never one for letting the facts
get in the way, Trump could be expected
to overplay the significance of such an
accomplishment and somehow paint it
as a replacement for Obamacare. If that’s
what it takes, so be it.
Alexander and the ranking Democrat
on his committee, Sen. Patty Murray of
Washington, have set the modest goal of
passing legislation that would continue
the payment of cost-sharing subsidies
to insurance companies and grant states
more flexibility in adjusting health insur-
ance rules.
The intent of the federal subsidies to
insurance companies is to enable them
to provide coverage to their most expen-
sive patients without having to increase
premiums for other policyholders. Trump
has repeatedly threatened to halt the
subsidies, creating uncertainty that has
contributed to the decision by some in-
surance companies to pull out of the ex-
changes serving individual policyholders
and for others to jack up rates.
While protecting the subsidies is a
Democratic priority, providing states
wider latitude in determining what are
essential health benefits that insurers
must pay for and allowing higher out-of-
pocket costs in return for lower premi-
ums are Republican priorities.
Such small steps as securing the sub-
sidies and building in greater flexibility
could stabilize the existing ACA system
while the debate about health care con-
tinues.
There are plenty of potential imped-
iments. Consensus may not be reached.
Republican House and Senate leaders
may block any proposal that cannot be
sold to their voters as Obamacare repeal.
On health care, taxes and other issues,
some Democrats may find that working
with Trump will invite a rebellion among
core party supporters.
By December, the threat of a govern-
ment shutdown returns. Perhaps Trump’s
deal with “Chuck and Nancy” will prove
temporary and not terribly significant.
Or maybe the man who campaigned
as the ultimate deal maker will start do-
ing more of that by reaching across party
lines.

one nifty trick!
To pull off this impressive twofer,
they would put every American
applying for the earned-income
tax credit (EITC) through a sort
of mini-audit before getting their
refund. This would both place huge
new burdens on the working poor
and divert scarce Internal Revenue
Service resources away from other
audit targets, such as big corpo-
rations, that offer a much higher
return on investment.
For those not familiar, the EITC
is basically a way to top up low- and
moderate-income people’s pay
through a tax refund, to give them a
bigger payoff from working.
The EITC has an excellent track
record both economically and politi-
cally. Lots of studies have found that
it increases workforce participation,
for example. Since its introduction
in 1975, it has also received biparti-
san support, given its dual purpose
as both an anti-poverty and a
pro-work program. Both Republican
and Democratic presidents have
overseen major EITC expansions.
Thanks to a combination of inno-
cent mistakes and outright fraud,
though, some EITC money is dis-
bursed erroneously. And so in 2015
Congress passed a bipartisan law
to improve the program’s integrity.
The changes that went into effect
this year include a several-week
delay in issuing EITC refunds so
the IRS can match basic documents
such as W-2s and 1099s to tax filers’
reported income.
The IRS hasn’t yet analyzed the
full effect of these changes, though
early numbers look promising.
Before the full results are in,
however, House Republicans have
decided to do something far more
drastic.
Sometime in the next few weeks,
the House is expected to vote on
the fiscal 2018 budget resolution,
a procedural step that’s designed
to pave the way for tax cuts. That’s
gotten a fair amount of coverage, of
course. Less publicized is troubling
language in the budget resolution
committee report, which proposes
decreasing “improper” EITC pay-
ments by requiring verification of
all income before benefits go out.
The language is vague but ap-
pears to refer to a Heritage Foun-
dation proposal that would require
the IRS to “fully verify income
through a review of Form W-2,
Form 1099, business licensing or
registration, and relevant invoices”
before dispensing any refunds. So, a
mini-audit.
As noted in a report from the Cen-
conducting mini-audits of all 28
million EITC claimants would be an
astonishingly laborious task, both
for tax filers and for the IRS.
It would impose huge administra-
tive burdens on low-income work-
ers, many of whom cobble together
a living through multiple jobs and
part-time “gig economy” positions,
from which they may not earn
enough money to require a 1099.
At a time when Republicans
are flogging tax simplification,
this would make tax preparation
infinitely more complicated. Unless,
of course, the goal is to discourage
poor people from applying for the
EITC in the first place.
Even for those who persisted
in applying for the refund, EITC
payments might be delayed for many
months, causing great hardship.
The vast majority of recipients use
their refund checks for rent, utilities,
mortgage payments and other neces-
sities, as well as to pay down debt.
But the proposal is more than
just cruel. It’s also likely to cost the
government a lot of money.
Recall that Republicans have been
steadily cutting the IRS’s budget,
which is a silly thing to do if you’re
truly a fiscal conservative who
believes in “law and order.” The
IRS brings in far more money than
it’s appropriated, particularly in its
work going after tax cheats.
And cutting the IRS budget is an
especially silly thing to do if you’re
also giving the agency an enormous
new mandate likely to crowd out
other enforcement activities —
including those that bring in much
bigger paydays.
The amounts at stake in EITC au-
dits are relatively small. Overclaim
errors are often just a few hundred
dollars, compared with the hundreds
of thousands or even millions that
can be recovered from deep-pock-
eted corporations and individuals.
Arguably the IRS already de-
votes too many resources to these
small-potatoes cases; EITC audits
represent about 39 percent of all
individual income-tax audits, de-
spite accounting for just 7 percent
of additional taxes that audits find
to be owed.
If Republicans actually cared
about reducing EITC tax cheat-
ing, there are more effective and
compassionate things they could
pursue, such as regulating the fly-
by-night unlicensed tax preparers
responsible for a disproportionate
share of EITC fraud.
President Trump said he’d help
America win again. He can start by
persuading his fellow Republicans
to ditch this lose-lose proposition.

Facing its own troubles, Mexico rescinds offer to help U.S. recover from Harvey
By AMANDA ERICKSON
The Washington Post
As Hurricane Harvey was
still pummeling Houston, Mex-
ico reached out with an offer of
help.
In a statement, the country
offered food, generators and
medical aid “as good neigh-
bors should always do in try-
ing times.” After Hurricane Ka-
trina in 2005, the country sent
a convoy of soldiers, food and
medical workers, along with
water-treatment facilities and
a kitchen to feed 7,000 people
a day.
But now, Mexico says it’s
withdrawing its offer of aid.
It needs those resources, the
government says, to clean up
after its own hurricane and a
massive earthquake.

eign Ministry said that all aid
will now be directed to fami-

FROM A1
The Connecticut Construc-
tion Industries Association
commissioned ARTBA to com-
plete the report after seeing
the state House Democrats’
budget proposal.
CCIA President Don Shubert
said he was disturbed by two
things in the proposal. The first
was a shift in tax revenue from
transportation to the general
fund, and the second — also a
facet of the state House Repub-
licans’ proposal — was a $700
million bond cap.
“We don’t think diverting
your attention from transpor-
tation is really going to help in
the long run,” Shubert said.
Similarly, Connecticut AAA
spokeswoman Amy Parmenter
said her agency has been “ag-
gressively” campaigning for
the transportation lockbox,
to ensure that that funds ear-
marked for certain projects
aren’t used elsewhere.

Judge tosses charges against Amtrak engineer in deadly wreck
By MICHAEL R. SISAK

Philadelphia — A judge on
Tuesday dismissed criminal
charges against the engineer
in an Amtrak derailment in
Philadelphia that killed eight
people, citing a lack of evi-
dence in a case that prosecu-
tors initially refused to pursue.
Brandon Bostian, 34, had
Alfonso Jose Jr., 2, is floated down his flooded street by his parents as they wade
through water to reach an open convenience store in the wake of Hurricane Irma in
Bonita Springs, Fla., on Tuesday.
Phill Chirchirillo, 57, said days
without electricity and other
basics were beginning to wear
on people.
“At first it’s like, ‘We’re safe,
thank God.’ Now they’re testy,”
he said. “The order of the day
is to keep people calm.”
Irma’s rainy remnants,
meanwhile, pushed through
Alabama and Mississippi after
drenching Georgia. Flash-flood
watches and warnings were is-
sued across the Southeast.
While nearly all of Florida
was engulfed by the 400-mile-
wide storm, the Keys — home
to about 70,000 people — ap-
peared to be the hardest hit.
Drinking water and power
were cut off, all three of the
islands’ hospitals were closed,
and the supply of gasoline was
killed in last week’s 8.1 magni-
tude earthquake off Mexico’s
Pacific coast, and thousands
of homes were destroyed. And
Hurricane Katia made landfall
Friday north of Tecolutla on
Mexico’s Gulf Coast.
The government estimates
that some 2.5 million people
are in need of aid, and survi-
vors are still waiting for help
in some areas.
“Given these circumstance,
the Mexican government will
channel all available logistical
support to serve the families
and communities affected in
the national territory,” the for-
eign ministry statement said.
Mexico’s Foreign Ministry
also thanked Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott, a Republican who
promised to “stand with Mex-
ico and offer whatever aid and
assistance we can” after the
earthquake. And it expressed
“full solidarity” with the vic-
tims of Hurricane Irma. “Mex-
ico will be aware of the devel-
questioned. “I think in general
that doesn’t sit well with the
voters, and it doesn’t sit well
with AAA.”
As for the $700 million bond
cap proposal, the state De-
partment of Transportation
estimates that a $900 million
bonding level is necessary to
support the transportation
program, according to ART-
BA’s report.
DOT expressed concern that
the lower bond cap could delay
or cancel 22 highway, bridge and
construction projects, including
the $97 million Gold Star Bridge
northbound span work between
New London and Groton.
The report argues that
greater funding for transpor-
tation infrastructure leads to
more jobs across industries,
increased business output that
results in lower costs and few-
er roadway fatalities, as well
as  savings to drivers due to
less congestion and lower
maintenance costs.

Officials said it was not known

behind in the Keys.
Monroe County began set-
ting up shelters and food-and-
water distribution points for
Irma’s victims in the Keys.
Crews also worked to re-
pair two washed-out, 300-foot
sections of U.S. 1, the highway
that runs through the Keys,
and check the safety of the 42
bridges linking the islands.

the following days, and hopes
that soon the state of Flori-
da as well as the state of Tex-
as and the state of Louisiana
will recover from the damag-
es caused by the hurricanes
that have impacted them,” the
statement said.
The ministry noted, too,
that the United States had
taken more than a week to re-
spond to Mexico’s formal offer
of aid, and said that only “cer-
tain logistical aid” was needed.
A White House press aide said
that President Donald Trump
had talked to the leaders of
Canada and Mexico after Har-
vey, but that they hadn’t dis-
cussed specific opportunities
for help.
Though the United States
and Mexico have historical-
ly been close allies, relations
have been strained since
Trump took office.
In fact, Mexico’s offer of
Harvey aid came hours after
costs. The investment in con-
struction activity would support
26,000 jobs annually, compared
to 11,700 for the minimum in-
vestment scenario.
The report also estimates
the impact of both scenarios
on seven key industries in the
state: health care/bioscience,
insurance and financial ser-
vices, advanced manufactur-
ing, digital media, tourism and
green technologies.
The estimates for advanced
manufacturing jobs created
under the two scenarios each
year is 499 and 266, and for
tourism, it’s 2,658 compared
to 1,432. Eastern Connecti-
cut accounts for 27 percent of
travel spending in Connecti-
cut, according to the journal
Tourism Economics.
The needs-based plan would
allow for the replacement of
1,803 bridges over 20 years,

that figure is 831 for the mini-

NL Democrats solidify slate of council candidates
John Satti returns to

By GREG SMITH
Day Staff Writer
New London — Voters winnowed
a field of eight candidates down to
seven at a Democratic primary on
Tuesday and returned incumbent
Councilor John Satti to the Novem-
ber election ballot.
Rich Baez, a political newcomer,
elementary school teacher and for-

number of votes and was knocked off
the slate as a result.

decision to keep site
as community garden
By DEBORAH STRASZHEIM
Day Staff Writer
Groton  — The Town Council on
Monday voted to extend the use of
the former Noank School as a com-
munity garden for another four
years.
The 8-0 vote, taken by the coun-
cil’s Committee of the Whole, still
must be approved by the council at
its next regular meeting. Councilors
directed the town manager to meet
with the town attorney and mem-
bers of the Noank School Public Gar-
dens Task Force to finalize details of
the agreement. An audience of near-
ly 50 people applauded the council’s
decision.
The task force outlined a plan to
expand the garden in the next three
lan, Don Venditto, Michael Tranchi-
da, Martha Marx, John Satti, Alma
D. Nartatez and Efrain Dominguez.
Unofficial vote totals show several
of the candidates separated by just
one vote. Nolan appeared to be the
top vote-getter, followed by Venditto
and Tranchida.
Satti, who has been at odds with
a few of his fellow councilors in the
weeks leading up to the primary, was
not among Democrats who gathered
to hear vote totals and share con-
gratulatory handshakes and hugs at
a makeshift headquarters off Wil-
liams Street on Tuesday. The expla-
nation from some was that was Satti
simply was not an endorsed candi-
date at that point.
Satti, and not Nolan, initially was
to five years to include recreational
and educational opportunities for
residents and provide food dona-
tions to struggling families and food
pantries. Members also said they
envisioned the garden supporting
fundraising for local charities.
“I’m very impressed with what
I’ve seen,” Councilor Karen Morton
said. “I like the vision that you have
and I think the thing that I like most
about it, is the fact that you obvi-
ously have the support of all of the
residents within Noank. And that’s
very important.”
Task force Chairman Clint Wright
described a property that has grown
into a community gathering place.
During the 2003 school year, Noank
Elementary School lost John Tur-
co, a young teacher at the school,
and students and staff raised mon-
ey for a black bench in his memory.

endorsed as a candidate by his par-

Defunct hardware to
blame for ‘intermittent
service’ since last week
By CLAIRE BESSETTE
Day Staff Writer
Norwich   — The start of the new
school year went smoothly for stu-
dents, staff and even relatively
smoothly for bus transportation, but
the school district’s new phone sys-
tem is failing fast and probably can’t
be fixed.
Schools and central office phones
have had “intermittent service” since
the start of school last week, Superin-
tendent Abby Dolliver told the Board
of Education on Tuesday. At times
parents haven’t been able to reach
school officials to relay issues about
students, and schools are having
trouble reaching school bus drivers
with issues.
The emergency call system that
would alert parents if necessary still
is working, school Business Adminis-
trator Athena Nagel said, because au-
thorized users can access that system
with their cellphones. School security
and alarm systems also are on a dif-
ferent network and not affected.
The problem lies in the Toshiba
hardware in the $200,000 phone sys-
tem installed just two years ago. The
Toshiba phone division apparently
now is defunct, Nagel said. The school
system’s technology staff has been
calling firms across the country try-
ing to find a specialist on the Toshiba
hardware with no luck. Phone system
contractor Pilot House has sent staff
to Norwich and has found relatively
small glitches here and there, but not
the overriding problem, Nagel said.

LEE-SEALES REJECTS
PLEA OFFER IN NEW
LONDON MURDER CASE
Twenty-three-year-old
Shaquan Lee-Seales, accused
of gunning down a man on a
New London street two years
ago, told a Superior Court judge
Tuesday that he wanted a mur-
der trial, not a plea deal.
Lee-Seales, wearing a neon
orange jumpsuit, leg irons and
handcuffs, told Judge Hillary
B. Strackbein he was rejecting
an offer from prosecutor Paul
J. Narducci to plead guilty in
exchange for a 35-year prison
sentence. He assured the judge
he was aware he could be
sentenced to up to 86 years in
prison if convicted and turned to
his family members in the gallery
of the New London courtroom
on his way back to the prison
lockup. They told him, “We love
you, Shay,” and he responded
that he loved them, too.
“See you all really soon. I'll be
home in like, two months,” he
said.
Shooting victim Gilberto
Olivencia's mother and other
family members were saddened
by the display. At the recommen-
dation of a judicial marshal, they
waited until Lee-Seales' family
had cleared the hallway before
leaving the courtroom.
Lee-Seales is being held in
lieu of bond at the Northern Cor-
rectional Institution. City police
charged him in June 2016 with
murder, first-degree reckless
endangerment, illegal discharge
of a firearm, carrying a pistol
without a permit and first-de-
gree robbery in connection with
Olivencia's death. He also has
unrelated drug and weapons

Norwich — Access Health CT,
Connecticut's individual health

open 10 new centers where peo-
ple can enroll for coverage under
the Affordable Care Act, includ-
ing a new center in Norwich.
The centers in Bridgeport,
Danbury, East Hartford, Hartford,
Milford, New Britain, New Haven,
Norwich, Stamford and Water-

The existing Access Health CT
enrollment centers in New Haven
and New Britain will be relocat-
ed, Access Health CT CEO Jim
Wadleigh said in a news release
Tuesday.
"We are exactly 50 days away
from the beginning of open
enrollment and with a shorter
timeframe this year, we want to
explore the best and most effi-
cient ways to help CT residents,”
Wadleigh said. “The goal is to
have in-person help available to
anyone who needs it.
The 10 locations will offer free
help and will add to assistance
provided at field offices and by
the enrollment specialists who
have been certified across the
state.
The locations within the
10 new cities have not been
finalized, according to the
announcement, though Andrea
Ravitz, Access Health CT's mar-

exchange is considering opening
the centers at easily accessible

toward Olivencia and several oth-
ers following an earlier encounter
on State Pier Road, where Lee-
Seales allegedly had assaulted
and robbed a 17-year-old drug
dealer who “disrespected” him.
When police arrived, Olivencia
was lying on the front porch of
8 Grand St., gasping for breath,
with a large amount of blood
on his shirt. He was unable to
answer questions about who
shot him. He was pronounced
dead at 12:43 a.m. at Lawrence +

Detectives said they used the
statements of several eye-

cigarette pack that was found
near the crime scene and phone
records to link Lee-Seales to the
crime.
Lee-Seales is represented by
attorney Sebastian O. DeSantis,
who on Tuesday said he had
retained a fingerprint expert
and would be needing more

on metal grill stand
after fall from roof
Danbury (AP) — Fire officials
say a man is in serious condi-
tion after he fell from a roof
and became impaled on a bar-
becue grill rotisserie stand in
Connecticut.
Crews were called to the
Danbury social club around
9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Authorities say the man in
his 30s fell about 10 feet and
landed on the metal object,
which punctured part of his
chest.
Witnesses tell The Danbury
News-Times the man had been
ously conclude that Megos had
violated his probation when he
took a deposit from prospec-
tive tenant Nicole Foster for an
apartment at 467 N. Main St.
that had been condemned at the
time. Following a two-day hear-
ing in February 2016, Williams
sentenced Megos to serve the
full five years of his previously
suspended sentence.
Megos had been on probation
for previous guilty pleas in 2012
on misdemeanor larceny charges
for similar past practices of
taking deposits for homes and
apartments in Norwich and
New London that never became
available.
“The trial court did not abuse
its discretion in revoking the
defendant's probation and im-
posing a sentence of 60 months
of incarceration,” the 13-page
appellate court ruling stated.
“That court, which balanced the
defendant's liberty and rehabil-
itation against the protection of
society, found that the defendant
was not amenable to probation,
based on his similar conduct
within months of the start of his
probationary period.”
Attorney Kenneth Leary, who
filed the appeal on behalf of
Megos, said he was “very disap-
pointed” in the ruling and felt the
trial judge disregarded testimony
of witnesses who said Megos
legitimately was planning to rent
the apartment to Foster.
Leary said it would be up to
Megos whether to seek an appeal
with the state Supreme Court,
but he acknowledged that would
be difficult with a unanimous
appellate court ruling. Leary said
there is a possibility that Megos
could be released early.
According to the state De-
partment of Correction, Megos
is incarcerated at the Osborn
Correctional Institution in Enfield.
If he serves the maximum
sentence, he would be released

behalf of Landmark Develop-
ment that the proposed farm-
ing activities and related road
construction are permitted
and exempt from the Inland
Wetlands Agency’s regulatory
jurisdiction.
In a 3-2 vote, with mem-
bers Harold Clarke and Phyllis
Berger opposed,  the Inland
Wetlands Agency decided that
the proposed activities are di-
rectly related to the farming
operation and are permitted
“as of right.” But the agency
said that if any activities en-
tail the filling of a wetland or
watercourse, Landmark first
would need to seek a permit
from the agency.
Monday’s vote followed a
discussion in which the com-
mission  reviewed the  state
statute that outlines the ag-
ricultural uses permitted in
wetlands and watercourses
“as of right.” Commission
members  also asked ques-
tions  on  the condition of
the  existing roads and how
specifically the roads would
be improved, with some mem-
bers saying they wanted more
information.

Democrats could have ben-

the newcomers, who likely
suffered from the lack of name
recognition, she said.
“My gut feeling is people are
focused on the November elec-
tion,” she said.
At the District 2 polling
place at Harbor School, school
teacher Liz Quiñones also
thought many people were
just unaware of the primary
because of the lack of publicity
and relative quiet from among
the candidates.
“Unless you are in the mix
and know a lot of the people
personally, I think you might
not have known,” she said.
Quiñones said she was re-
Mark Zamarka, an attorney
for the town, also had provided
written legal guidance that the
planned activities are permit-
ted “as of right.” He referenced
the town’s inland wetlands and
watercourses regulations and
recent case law that interpret-
ed state statutes.
Russo said by phone that
a forester was hired in 2006
to evaluate the hardwood
trees on his Oswegatchie Hills
property and develop a forest
management plan, with rec-
ommendations that he has
been following.
Russo said the planned tree
farming  operation for the
Oswegatchie Hills will intro-
duce  softwood trees  to the
property and is an extension of
an existing tree farm in Middle-
town that he owns and runs.
During his presentation on
Monday, Dubitsky said the
plan is to start the tree farm-
ing in areas near the existing
farm roads that are relatively
level and easy to access. He
said specific locations can’t
be determined until Land-
mark  accesses the property
and begins the tree farming
operation.
Dubitsky showed the com-
mission “rough markups” of
potential tree farming areas on
drawings of the Oswegatchie
Hills property that were pro-
vided by the town. The draw-
ings show that potential ar-
eas for tree farming  would
be to the east of the proposed
affordable-housing units en-
visioned in Landmark’s latest
development application for
the hills.
The tree farming operation
is unrelated to the application,

BENCH WITH A VIEW

R.I. senator wants
Congress to authorize
military base closings
By JENNIFER McDERMOTT
Associated Press
Providence — U.S. Sen. Jack
Reed said he wants Congress
to authorize a new round of
military base closings.
The Rhode Island Democrat
filed an amendment with Ar-
izona Republican Sen. John
McCain to the Senate’s defense
authorization bill for fiscal
2018 on Monday to authorize
a round of base closures and
realignments, starting in 2019.
McCain is the chairman of
the Senate Armed Services
Committee. Reed is the rank-
ing member.
Military installations are
considered prized posses-
sions in some congressional
districts, so getting their col-
leagues to agree will be chal-
lenging.
“It could be voted down, but
we are doing what we think is
the right thing in the long run
for the DOD,” Reed said Tues-
day.
Reed said their approach
for base closings addresses
concerns with the 2005 round,
such as the cost, and the Pen-
tagon’s need to close excess
installations so the money can
be better spent. The estimated
cost of implementing the clo-
sures would be capped at $5
billion, and the list of submit-
ted recommendations would
have to yield net-savings with-
in seven years of completing
the closures and realignments,
according to the amendment.
Reed and McCain also
proposed eliminating the
base-closing commission
and instead requiring the De-
partment of Defense to sub-
mit its recommendations to
Congress. The Government
Accountability Office would
review the list and Congress
could amend it.

tis has said that closing excess SARAH GORDON/THE DAY

FROM B1
east Academy in Mystic when
crews dismantled the former
Noank School building.
Through the efforts of vol-
unteers with the garden, the
bench was returned to the
Noank property, Wright said.
The John Turco bench and an
additional bench donated by
residents have become the
focal point of a sitting garden
near the former entrance of
the school.
“Former Noank School
teachers and neighbors have
planted perennial shrubs
around the garden and we have
plans to create flower beds be-
tween the shrubs,” Wright said.
All progress on the garden has
resulted from small individual
donations, he said.
Charles Lanza, a volunteer d.straszheim@theday.com
with the gardens, outlined a
vision for the property that
included baseball, soccer and
lacrosse fields for children, a
children’s playground, summer
camp programs and ice skating.
The plan also included a farm
teaching program for at-risk
and disadvantaged families,
children’s special education
programs, a children’s fall har-
vest festival and school clubs.
Councilor Diane Barber said
she feared the property would
end up another open space the
town had to mow, and loved
the idea and plans for it.
“I love (that) the community
is getting together. It’s huge,”
she said. “It teaches the chil-
dren more than anything that
this is what you do in life is
giving back. I love the direc-
tion you’re going.”
FROM B1
The school system used
several different grants to pay
for the system, and there’s lit-
tle chance of obtaining simi-
lar grants to replace a system
so new, Nagel told the school
board. Given this year’s tight
budget, there’s no money to
pay for another new phone
system.
As of Tuesday, phones at
eight of the 14 school sys-
tem buildings appeared to be
working. All phone lines at

If you love a happy ending, we give you Montville’s Jose Zuniga

Montville
This is a story about a mother's
love, a teacher's resolve, soccer,
drugs in public school bathrooms
and the vagaries of learning a new
language on the other side of the
world.
This is the story of Jose Zuniga,
a senior at Montville High, a young
man who escaped danger and loneli-

who came here to work at McDon-

Zuniga couldn't attend school. An
injury sustained while playing soccer
forced him to miss two months at the

The private school didn't invite him

Boys, girls still sweep
tri-meet while trying
to find their way
By VICKIE FULKERSON
Day Scholastic Sports Editor
Montville — The coaches of the first-
place teams were just trying to figure
out how to get better on Tuesday af-
ternoon, how to somehow recapture
their successes of a year ago, when
the Norwich Free Academy boys'
and girls' cross country teams were
both Eastern Connecticut Conference
champs.
The individual winners were far
more unrestrained.
"I was all on that paper. I always
read the newspaper, seeing, 'This girl
did this. This girl did that. Maybe that
can be me someday,'" said NFA fresh-
man Catie Shannon, who won her
first varsity race in 18 minutes, 18 sec-
onds, leading the Wildcats to a pair of
dual meet victories. "It feels so cool."
"It's a dream come true," said Wa-
terford junior Sam Lenes, who won
the overall boys' race contested at
Montville High School in 16:07. "You
felt it was a battle, that constant fear
of people running behind you."
The NFA boys and girls swept the
team races, maintaining their status
as the ones to beat in the ECC. The
girls defeated Waterford 15-50 and
Montville 19-44, while Montville
topped Waterford 21-37 in an ECC
Division II matchup. The boys edged
Lenes and Waterford 25-32 and de-

New and improved Diggs eager “Football

to return to action for Huskies
Senior LB, after missing first
game with knee injury, will
debut Saturday at Virginia
By GAVIN KEEFE
Day Sports Writer
Storrs — Any time spent away from foot-
ball is truly torture for Vontae Diggs.
Diggs lives for football.
A senior linebacker, he's beyond thrilled
to be back from a knee injury that kept him
sidelined since preseason. He returned to
practice last week and can't wait to play
Saturday at Virginia (noon, ESPN2).
Football is not only his passion but has
also been a lifesaver.
"Football saved my life way back when,"
Diggs said. "It kept me out of a lot of trou-
ble and got me going. Having it taken away
for an extended period of time when I
should have been out there, it did some-
thing to my heart. I think I grew up a lot in
that time."
The addition of Diggs, who sat out the
season-opening win over Holy Cross, gives
the UConn defense a boost. He ranked sec-
ond on the team in tackles last season.
He's also an inspirational leader and
well-respected amongst his teammates.
"He's made an 180 degree turn from
when I first got here," coach Randy Edsall
said. "I see a guy that's really matured and
taken hold of the leadership role that he
has. I see a guy that's a tremendous work-
er.
"Playing football and getting a degree
is very important to him. Winning is very
important to him. He's going to try to do
everything he can to help his teammates
and this program be successful. He's not
afraid, in my opinion, to ruffle feathers if
he has to. I think you need guys like that on
your team. And he's not afraid to help oth-
er guys become better at his position."

DESPITE AFTERMATH OF IRMA, FOOTBALL GAMES IN FLORIDA GET THE GO-AHEAD
Amid the misery in Florida caused by
Hurricane Irma, the state still has places
to play.
The Jacksonville Jaguars were the lat-
est to announce they will play at home
this weekend.
Team president Mark Lamping and
Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry deliv-
ered the news at a local fire station Tues-
day, just hours after the team returned
home following an extended stay in
Houston because of Irma.
“It's so important on so many dif-
ferent levels that we show the world
that Jacksonville is open for business,”
Lamping said.
The Jaguars spent three nights in
Houston because of the hurricane.
Lamping said EverBank Field in Jack-
sonville passed its final NFL inspection
Tuesday to gain clearance to host a game.
Stadiums in Tampa Bay and Miami also
were declared safe after structural engi-
neers found no damage related to Irma.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host
the Chicago Bears as scheduled Sunday
at Raymond James Stadium. It will serve
as the Bucs' season opener.
“Hosting the game is important to
us, as Tampa Bay has been through a
lot over the past few days,” Buccaneers
CEO Brian Ford said. The Bucs' game
last Sunday at Miami was postponed
until Nov. 19 because of the storm.
In college football, No. 22 South Flor-
ida was to resume practice Tuesday and
will play host to Illinois on Friday, also at
Raymond James. USF athletic director
Mark Harlan said the Bulls determined
their game could be safely played as
scheduled without hurting recovery
efforts.
No. 23 Tennessee and 24th-ranked
Florida will play as scheduled Saturday
in Gainesville. Florida Field sustained
only minor storm damage to signage.
Florida (0-1) canceled its home open-
er last week against Northern Colorado
because of the hurricane.
Florida Atlantic targeted a Wednes-
day return to its campus in Boca Raton
and hopes to play its scheduled home
game Saturday against Bethune-Cook-
man.
Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens
was determined to be safe for the Hur-
ricanes, who are scheduled to play the
next game there Sept. 23 against Toledo,
and for the Dolphins.

WNBA honors Jasmine, Alyssa Thomas
Jasmine and Alyssa Thomas of
the Connecticut Sun were named
to the WNBA All-Defensive team
Tuesday, as voted by league
coaches.
The 12 coaches selected first
and second team by position and
were not permitted to vote for
players on their own teams. Players
received five points for every first
team and vote and three for a
second team vote.
Jasmine Thomas, Connecticut's
starting point guard, was select-
ed to the first team and tied Los
Angeles Sparks forward Nneka
Ogwumike and center Sylvia
Fowles of the Minnesota Lynx for
the second-most points (49).
Alyssa Thomas, a forward, had
21 points and made the second
team.
Jasmine Thomas finished fourth
in the league in steals per game
(1.59) and Alyssa Thomas fifth
(1.57).
It's the first All-Defensive first
team honor of Jasmine Thomas'
seven-year career after being a
second team pick last season. She
was also selected to start in the
WNBA All-Star Game for the first
time.
Alyssa Thomas, who was also
a first time All-Star this season,
averaged a career-high 5.4 defen-
sive rebounds and was 12th in the
league in overall rebounds with a
6.8 average.

Rays top Yanks at Citi Field on Hechavarria’s HR

By BEN WALKER
AP Baseball Writer
New York — Adeiny Hechavarria hit
a tiebreaking home run in the eighth
inning off Son-
2 ny Gray and
Rays
Yankees 1 the Tampa Bay
Rays, playing
as the home team in a series relocat-
ed to Citi Field because of Hurricane
Irma, beat the New York Yankees 2-1
on Tuesday night.
Tampa Bay has split the first two
games of the set held at the home of
the New York Mets.
The Rays will fly back to Florida
immediately after Wednesday af-
ternoon's game for firsthand looks
at the storm damage. No word yet
from MLB if Boston and Tampa Bay
will play at Tropicana Field on Friday
night as scheduled — the Rays ex-
pect to host the three-game set, but
it could be reconfigured to give them
an extra day off to handle personal
matters.
Tommy Hunter (3-5) pitched one
inning to give Tampa Bay, on the
fringe of the AL wild-card race, its
second win in six games. Alex Colome
closed for his 44th save in 49 chanc-
es.
Gray (9-10) again pitched well but
wound up with a loss. The Yankees,
who hold the top AL wild-card spot,
have dropped just three of their last
10.
Hechavarria finished a home run
short of the cycle in a 5-1 loss Monday
night.
Matt Holliday — a rare designated
hitter in a game held at a National
League park — put the Yankees ahead
in the first with an RBI double off
Blake Snell.
Kevin Kiermaier quickly made it
1-all, homering on Gray's first pitch of
the night.
The Rays officially were the home
team — they occupied the Mets'
spacious clubhouse, wore white uni-
forms and batted last, and the pub-
lic-address announcer greeted them
with "Please welcome the Tampa Bay
Rays."
But from the moment the displaced
Rays took the field to a smattering of
boos, it was decidedly a Bronx Bomb-
ers crowd.
The chants of "Let's go, Yankees"
started as leadoff man Brett Gardner
stepped in, and echoed for most of
the evening.
The crowd of 21,024 was about
6,000 more than saw the series open-

around the bases closed off. Foul balls

Corey Kluber pitches a four-hitter as
Cleveland matches the A.L. record
By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
Cleveland — The Cleveland Indians share a record
with a team celebrated by Hollywood.
"Moneyball" has its sequel.
Following a familiar script of
Indians 2
scoring first, playing strong de-
Tigers 0 fense and riding dominant pitch-
ing, the Indians extended their
winning streak to 20 games and matched the AL mark
held by the 2002 Oakland Athletics, beating the Detroit
Tigers 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Cleveland's streak, which began on Aug. 24 in Boston,
is tied for the majors' second-longest in 82 years — and
the Indians show no signs of stopping.
Corey Kluber (16-4) strengthened his Cy Young
Award case with a four-hitter as Cleveland joined the
2002 A's, 1935 Chicago Cubs (21) and 1916 New York Gi-
ants (26) as the only teams to win at least 20 in a row.
Francisco Lindor homered leading off the first inning
against Matthew Boyd (5-10), and the crowd of 24,654
stood and roared when Kluber sprinted to the mound
for the ninth.
Second baseman Jose Ramirez made a sensational
diving stop in short right field to throw out Ian Kinsler
for the second out, and after allowing a double to Alex
Presley, Kluber sealed win No. 20 — and Cleveland's
seventh shutout during the streak — by getting Miguel
Cabrera on an easy grounder to third.
Fireworks exploded overhead and the Indians lined
up to celebrate yet another win in this unthinkable
streak.
The Giants' revered 101-year-old streak includes a tie
that interrupted 12- and 14-game unbeaten runs. How-
ever, the Elias Sports Bureau, the official statistical cus-
todian for Major League Baseball, has always regarded
the Giants' stretch as the top mark because tie games
were replayed from the start back then.
Cleveland can equal the Cubs' 21-game run Wednes-
day afternoon, and the Indians are within striking dis-
tance of the illustrious-but-imperfect mark of those '16
Giants.

Closing in on their second consecutive AL Central ti-
tle, the Indians figured to keep things going with Kluber
on the mound, and the right-hander continued his own
superb stretch.
Kluber improved to 8-1 in his last nine starts and low-
ered his ERA to an AL-best 2.45 with his third shutout
of the season and fifth complete game. He allowed a
leadoff double in the first to Kinsler, but stranded him at
third by striking out Cabrera and Nicholas Castellanos
to end the inning.
Cabrera came in batting .434 against Kluber but went
0 for 4 with two strikeouts.
While understanding the fascination with his team's
roll, Indians manager Terry Francona has been down-
playing the streak so as not to make it a distraction. As
far as Francona's concerned, there is nothing magical
going on.
"I just want to win tonight. I've always felt like that,"
he said before the game.
"Maybe you don't believe me. I want us to show up
every day and play the best game we can. We're going
to lose a game."
When, is anyone's guess.

during the streak, hit his 30th homer in the first off

Health, not homefield, is the Nationals’ post-clinching focus

By STEPHEN WHYNO
AP Sports Writer
Washington — As bottles of Korbel
champagne sat inside lockers and
some players wore the red "NL East
Champions" shirts they received
days earlier, the Washington Nation-
als tried quickly to move on to the
next step.
The first team to pop bottles as
division champions this season has
bigger goals. Washington is only 3 1/2
games back of the languishing Los
Angeles Dodgers, losers of 11 in a row,
for home-field advantage throughout
the postseason, something manager
Dusty Baker has been monitoring even
as West Coast start times test him.
"I've been paying close attention
to them the whole time — the teams
that have a better record than us or
are near us," Baker said Tuesday. "I
pay attention to it all."
Baker knows all about the Dodgers'
struggles and, just in case the Nation-
als make the World Series, the Cleve-
land Indians' winning streak and the
status of the Houston Astros. But he'd
prefer his players focus on their day-
to-day job with the Atlanta Braves in
town this week before the Dodgers
visit for what could be an important
three-game series over the weekend.
No problem there, especially for
the players who think home-field ad-
vantage is worth less than the corks
they had strewn all over the club-
house Sunday.
"It doesn't matter," shortstop Trea
Turner said.
As Turner pointed out, not only has
Washington lost in the NL Division
Series with home-field advantage be-
fore, but this year's team is tied with
Houston for the second-most road
victories in the majors. That's why
the Nationals consider the next two-
plus weeks a chance to peak at the
right time for October and get some
guys healthy.
"Ultimately we just want to get ev-
erybody as healthy as possible once
the playoffs start," catcher Matt Wi-
eters said. "We want to win every
game we go out there and play, but
at the same time we want to have as
many of our guys back as we can and
also keep the guys that we have right
here now healthy."
No one is more important in that
department than outfielder Bryce
Harper, who has been out since
mid-August with a significant bone
bruise in his left knee. Baker said
trainers would like to ramp up Harp-
er's baseball activities soon because
running, sliding and cutting will be
the 2015 NL MVP's biggest obstacles
to being 100 percent.
Baker would also like to get out-
fielder Jayson Werth, who missed
time with a broken food and is deal-
ing with a sore left shoulder, and
Turner, who was out a while with a
broken wrist, back up to full-speed
before a potential NLDS matchup
with the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee
Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Colora-
do Rockies or Arizona Diamondbacks.
Infielder Stephen Drew (abdominal
strain) and outfielder Brian Goodwin
(groin strain) are still on the disabled
list late in a season.
Baker is conscious of managing the
back end of his bullpen with lefty Se-
an Doolittle and righties Ryan Mad-
son and Brandon Kintzler while keep-
ing the rest of his pitching staff from
getting rusty or overused. That's the
delicate balance the rest of the way as
the Nationals try to keep meaning in
games after clinching.
"We're here because we compete,
and losing's not fun," Turner said.
"We're going to try to win, try to com-
pete, try to play well and that's all you
can do each and every pitch. If you
put your focus on what's in front of
you, then I think down the road comes
quickly and you'll be prepared for it."

Whittaker (18:49), battling a leg in-
jury. NFA's Eve Buckridge was third
in 19:46, followed by teammates Em-
ma Ricketts (20:12), Sydney Kupis
(20:36), Sydney Corl (20:53), Mad-
ison Martin (20:57),  Tess Hospod
(21:10) and Kylie DiBernardo (21:11).
"We have more work to do, but
she ran a great race," NFA coach
Kara Kochanski-Vendola said of
Shannon, who previously ran at The
Williams School. "After seeing her
run at Windham, yes (I thought she
could win today), but Whittaker was
the more experienced runner. I told
(Shannon) to stay behind her and
see how she felt. I told her, 'If you feel
good enough and confident, go for it.'
"But we have a long season. We
have to look to the future. We have
East Lyme in October (10) and then
ECCs (Oct. 19). That's our goal."
The NFA boys, meanwhile, were
led by Reno Sebastian, second  in
16:20. Waterford's Joe Carano was
third (16:30) and Montville's Jayden
Colon fourth (16:42), followed by a
pack of NFA runners which tipped the
scales in the Wildcats' favor. Nathan
Lieske was fifth, Aidan Brown sixth
and Digby Ludlow seventh for NFA.
Followed by Waterford's Eric Zane in
eighth, Ryan Kornacki was ninth over-
all and the fifth NFA runner.
"We looked at what they did at
Windham," NFA coach Chad John-
son said of Waterford's performance
at Saturday's Windham Invitational.
"Their times were pretty comparable
(to ours). We didn't expect it to be a
walk in the park."
NFA's boys graduated their top six
runners from last year's team, which
amassed a 54-meet winning streak
during their careers. This Wildcats
team, however, doesn't have a front-
runner the way past teams did, in-
cluding last year's ECC champion in
Brandon Mehlinger.
"Everything's going to be a learn-
ing experience," Johnson said. "When
I say everything, I mean yesterday's

and I kid you not. The good thing is
some of these guys have sat back and
watched the guys do all the work (in
the past). Everyone's working hard
now and because they're working
hard they're going to get better."
Lenes was the fifth man on Water-
ford's team last year, 56th in the ECC
meet. "This summer I just worked re-
ally hard," he said. "I went to the track

a chance. ... The last 200 meters, I re-
membered what I put in this summer."
"It puts me in the right mindset,"
NFA's Shannon said of cross country.
"I just like it. There's a competitive
edge, but it's also a team sport and
you get to cheer people on. ... I was so
nervous (before the race). I was shak-
ing. I kept asking coach, 'What do I
do? What do I do?' And she said, 'Just
stop asking me that.'"

LaBranche is just Coast Guard edges WCSU

‘coach’ back home
By VICKIE FULKERSON
Day Scholastic Sports Editor
Montville — Steve LaBranche, Ultrarunning Grand
Slammer, was back to Steve LaBranche, Montville High
School boys' and girls' cross country coach on Tuesday
afternoon.
And despite the fact he had run 400 miles compet-
itively this summer in four separate 100-mile races and
is the proud owner of only two remaining toenails, when
the high school girls race began there went LaBranche,
sprinting across the Montville baseball field to cheer on
his team.
"It's an inspiration and he ran four of them," said Mont-
ville senior captain Annali Nelson of LaBranche's achieve-
ment. "When he first said he was doing it, I thought it was
crazy. Then I realized, you kind of need a little crazy."
LaBranche became only the second person in Connecti-
cut history to achieve the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning,
joining Jerry Turk of Guilford (2009). LaBranche com-
pleted the feat Saturday at the Wasatch Front 100 Mile
Endurance Run in Utah, finishing in 31 hours, 15 minutes,
46 seconds.
He was one of 11 runners to finish the Grand Slam in
2017 and one of 348 runners all-time. His cumulative time
was 110:23:49, placing him 174th on the all-time list.
LaBranche, wearing the belt buckle he received for fin-
ishing Wasatch within the 36-hour cutoff, was surprised
by his runners with a cake following the tri-meet against
Waterford and Montville.
Nelson and her mother Marcy helped crew for
LaBranche at the Vermont 100 Endurance Race in Ju-
ly, while fellow senior captain Jayden Colon was one of
LaBranche's pacers, accompanying his coach for the the
final miles in Vermont.
"I got to see a different kind of race," Colon said. "It's
a lot slower, but it's a lot about the mental game. It's
more about, 'How much can I push until I don't have any-
thing left in the tank?' ... He had been awake for over 24
hours. That's not human. It's extremely impressive. It's
something I didn't think was achievable.
"And he's an extremely good coach. He definitely keeps
us together. He really, really expects us to treat each other

UConn linebacker Vontae Diggs attempts to tackle Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr. during last year’s game.
Diggs will be welcome addition to UConn defense
FROM C1
"... I'm just very happy for him that he's
going to have the opportunity to be able
to get back out there again this weekend
and start playing because I know how im-
portant it is to him. And then you see the
work and effort that he put in to get him-
self back out there. Those are the guys
you root for and you want to see do well."
Diggs was ready to play last week
against South Florida, but the game was
called off due to Hurricane Irma, putting
his season debut temporarily on hold.
He admits the unexpected bye week was
hard to deal with.
Now Diggs is going through the emo-
tional build-up once again.
"I'm pretty much going through the
process again, but times two," he said.
"Being the emotional guy I am, the hyper
guy I am, I'm ready to ride right now. I'm
ready to go out there. We can play today,
tomorrow or the next day, I'm going to be
ready to go."
It may take a game or two for Diggs to
fully shake off the rust.
Diggs hasn't played since last season
when he started all 12 contests for the
Huskies. He underwent a procedure on
his left knee in August after suffering a
grade two MCL tear during a preseason
scrimmage.
While sidelined, he gained some
knowledge of the new defense, bonded
with linebackers coach Jon Wholley and
gained a whole new perspective to the
game.
"I'm picking everything back up
where I left off," Diggs said of his return.
"Coaches don't want any excuses and I
don't want to give them any excuses if I
mess up or I have a lapse here or there.
I love it. The guys love it. I've just got to
keep pushing.
"... I haven't played a game yet. ... Ev-
erybody has a little advantage, they're
settled in with the defense, so I'm a little
behind schedule with that. But, to me,
that's nothing. I'm going to go out there
and be the same guy I was last year, just
new and improved."
The postponement of last week's game
ERIC CHRISTIAN SMITH/AP PHOTO
ended up being beneficial for Diggs and
his fellow Huskies. They improved in ev-
ery area, according to Edsall.
"We would have loved to play, of
course," Edsall said. "I thought we took
really good advantage of the opportuni-
ty that was presented to us to continue
to get better. I thought it did help some
of our guys have some extra time to
get some bumps and bruises and some
things healed up."
News and notes
• When asked if the South Florida
game will be rescheduled, Edsall said:
"That's something that (athletic direc-
tor) David (Benedict) is working on." ...
Virginia is off to a 1-1 start, beating Wil-
liam & Mary 28-10 and losing to Indiana
34-17 last week. ... Edsall's home in Jack-
sonville, Fla., area suffered minimal dam-
age during the storm. "We were a lot
more fortunate than some people. We're
grateful for that. The city of Jacksonville
got hit pretty hard."

FROM C1
hurt," Zuniga said recently. Yet
to whom he said it is far more
significant.
Zuniga stood before the
Connecticut Interscholastic
Athletic Conference's eligibili-
ty committee, whose members
heard a case to grant Zuniga
the extra year he'd need to
play soccer at Montville.
Technically, Zuniga's "eight
semesters," or the time the
CIAC allows student-athletes
to participate, had expired in
Colombia. That's until they
heard his story.
"I love my mother dearly
and I have a tattoo on my arm
that expresses how much I
love and admire her for what
she has done for me," he told
the CIAC.
"I left behind one part of my
family to come to America to
be with my mother and to have
an opportunity to have a life
free of the drugs and violence
in Cali."
The CIAC granted the re-
quest. Zuniga is a goalkeeper
for the Indians now, reunited
with his mom in a safe envi-
ronment.
"The CIAC did a very, very
nice thing," Montville athletic
director Phil Orbe said.
Indeed. The CIAC's compas-
sion also extended recently to
Killingly senior football player
Vasileos Politis, who was given
an extra year after beating
cancer.
Zuniga, whose improvement
learning English is notewor-
thy, still struggles to compre-
hend it. Enter Vicky Clifford,
who heads Montville's World
Language Department. Zuniga
probably never knew he had
a guardian angel until he met
her.
Vicky Clifford was already
teaching five classes when she
met Zuniga, an ever polite,
respectful and understated
kid who was the allegorical
stranger in a strange land.
"He knew no English when
he got here," Clifford said.
"He was basically in my room
all the time. From where he
came, not knowing a word to
where he is now, is 100 percent
improvement. He goes to class
now by himself. Before, I'd get
all his work and translate it all.
Now I don't do as much.
"The teachers here were
very helpful. They'd use
Google to translate his work
for him. We'd go over it. But
if you ever use Google, it's not
always right. So basically, I'd
take all of his work and put it
in Spanish and he would do
it. I would either take it to the
teachers and translate it for
them or some teachers wanted
me just to grade it for him.
English teachers found books
for him in Spanish like Lord of
the Flies. He would listen to
discussions about it in English,
but read the book in Spanish."
Clifford became an unwit-
ting student again, too, espe-
cially when Zuniga was taking
math and physics.
"I guess you could say we
both took it together," Clifford
said. "I'm learning quite a bit
myself. The math classes, he
knows some of the concepts.
Some new things I had a
hard time explaining to him
because I wasn't sure of the
concepts either."
Once again for emphasis:
Clifford was under no obliga-
tion to help. But she did.
"She helped because she's
a good person. She's one of
those 'it takes a village to raise
a child' type people," Orbe
said.
Quite the story. Zuniga is
in the process of becoming a
U.S. citizen and wants to play
soccer in college one day, even
if taking standardized college
application tests is a reach at
the moment.
"I don't think a school would
let me go to college with him,"
Clifford cracked.
All in time.
He's already come a long
way, baby.
"This is what his mom want-
ed," Orbe said. "A chance at a
better life."
This is the opinion of Day sports
columnist Mike DiMauro

WHEN DISASTER STRIKES

SHIPWRECKS, STORMS, AND OTHER CALAMITIES IN SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT
Southeastern Connecticut has had its share of disasters over the years. Many
residents will recall Hurricanes Sandy and Irene, and many will also remember
the Hurricane of 1938. Other tragedies include the Van Tassel fire on April 3,
1962, that claimed the lives of four firefighters, and the shipwreck of the City
of New London steamer in 1871. Get the book that showcases the wide
array of calamities that have struck our area and the indomitable spirit
of our community to rise when needed. Supply will be limited, so

Broncos know they need better pass protection

Held on to beat
Chargers Monday
By ARNIE STAPLETON
AP Pro Football Writer
Englewood, Colo. — The Den-
ver Broncos eluded a crushing
collapse thanks to Shelby Har-
ris. Trevor Siemian dodged
injury — no thanks to his new
tackle tandem.
A restless few hours after
watching Siemian get clob-
bered in Denver's 24-21 win
over the Los Angeles Chargers,
coach Vance Joseph called out
his offensive linemen for their
poor pass protection.
not what general manager
John Elway envisioned when
he reshaped his O-line this off-
season by drafting left tackle
Garett Bolles in the first round
and signing free agent Menelik
Watson along with guard Ron-
ald Leary in free agency.
Watson had a particularly
tough night.
"Again, the pass protection
was not where it has to be for
us to be a good football team,"
Joseph said. "We were facing
two elite edge rushers last
night and most people don't
have two.
But in our division, every
team has two. We've got to im-
blocking speed rushers."
One of the reasons the AFC
West is so tough is their pass
rushing duos. The Raiders
have Khalil Mack and Bruce Ir-
vin and the Chiefs feature Dee
Ford and Justin Houston.
The Broncos watched their
24-7 lead whittled to 24-21
after Philip Rivers converted
two takeaways at midfield in-
to touchdowns. Denver was at
the Chargers 13 before back-
to-back sacks pushed the
Broncos back to the 32, and
Brandon McManus was wide

attempt with four minutes left.

Siemian finished with two
TD passes and a touchdown
run in which he juked Bosa to
go with his interception and
four sacks.

Denver.
But he exited his first game
