Plainville Parks and Rec-reation and the Plainville Public Library teamed up to host their annual Halloween party Oct. 31 and kids from all over town came to strut their stuff.

Heather Agudelo brought her two daughters; Jenna, 4, and Kailyn, 2.

“This is our first time, and we wanted to do some-thing different this year,” the mother said. “Jenna knew right away she wanted to be Doc McStuffins, and Kailyn loves Lambie, so it was pretty

easy to decide.”According to disneyjunior.

com, Doc McStuffins fixes broken toys with the help of several friends, including Lambie.

These kids were just two of the dozens that showed up to be part of a costume com-petition and parade. Other events that evening included a magic show from Charles “Chick” Kelman.

Kelman said he has been doing this event for the past three or four years, and has been a magician for 36 years.

“This type of event in-volves something quick, like a coin or card trick, which is

in my repertoire. I do a lot of these shows for restaurants and bat mitzvahs, stuff like that. It has to be something fascinating because they just keep moving, so it’s got to be good,” he said.

Colin Regan, recreation di-rector, has lived in town for 35 years, and the Halloween party has been going on as long as he can remember.

“We co-sponsor this with the public library, and it has been going on for around 37 years,” he said. “We judge on six or seven different catego-ries for the costumes; from

The Plainville Board of Education is looking at a plan to do extensive work on Wheeler Elementary School and the Middle School of Plainville that, if approved, could cost up to $12,957,600.

The plan was discussed at a meeting on Oct. 27 between the BOE and the Capital Projects Building Committee. It first has to get approved by the Board of Education and the Town Council. It would then get voted on at a public referendum.

A break down of the costs reveals that just over $4.5 million could be spent on Wheeler, and just over $4.7 million on MSP.

Almost $2 million would go towards architecture and $1,250,000 on re-roofing for MSP, and $560,000 for win-dow and door replacements in addition to $900,000

General Electric was given the approval of the Town Council at an Oct. 20 council meeting to work on soil remediation near the Quinnipiac River due to the dumping of chemicals GE did around the area 30 to 40 years ago, according to Town Manager Robert E. Lee.

The Inlands Wetlands Commission must also approve.

GE has been doing soil remediation at its for-mer lagoon site near the intersection of Milford and Woodland streets, and Lee said the next step in this remediation will require the company to work on town property on the opposite side of the river.

In a phone interview with The Citizen, the town manager said “GE used to have lagoons there and put a lot of materials there from manufacturing many years ago. They deposited hazardous materials there which now require being removed, including high levels of cadmium, which is like lead.”

The Environmental Protection Agency considers cadmium a carcinogen with high acute toxicity that can result in, among other things, kidney cancer and kidney stones.

Lee said he is not sure how much the project will

infancy to age two, kinder-garten, grades three to five, and grades one and two. We look for the scariest and best costumes.”

Jane Buden, costume judge, said, “We look for originality, creativity, and cuteness in the little ones. Each year has dif-ferent trends. We’ve seen people dress as washing ma-

chines and boxes. You don’t have to spend a lot to have a great costume.”

Kids showed up as Ninja Turtles, princesses, bumble-bees, bears, even a knight in shining armor.

“The parade is the high-light. It is led by the eighth grade marching band from Plainville Middle School and is quite a site to see,” Regan said.

If you are interested in local history – and hungry – you might want to con-sider heading over to J. Tim-othy’s Taverne at 143 New Britain Ave. The iconic es-tablishment, built in 1789, is owned by Jim Welch and Tim Adams.

Original ly known as Cooke’s Taverne, town re-cords show The Taverne Associates purchased J. Tim-othy’s from Aldo Dedomini-cis for $380,000. Adams and Welch have been there since 1979.

Adams recently gave this reporter a tour of the build-ing. The owner said he is proud that so many employ-ees have had long tenures at the restaurant. He pointed out that J. Timothy’s staff members have worked there five, 10, up to 28 years.

Adams also talked about his loyal customers.

“The first year we were here we had a couple come in for the 75th anniversary, taking a cab from New Brit-ain. They were in their 90s and they were telling us sto-ries. We weren’t making any money, we were wondering where our next customer was going to come from, and we bought them lunch because

it was such a celebration,” he said.

“People have told us sto-ries about mothers and un-cles getting married here, it’s just a litany of how this building and taverne have been a part of the lives of so many people in this area.”

The taverne has also wel-comed celebrities. Adams pointed out that actress Helen Hayes once ate there. Also, it is rumored that Thomas Jefferson sat down for a bite at the taverne after the Revolutionary War.

The restaurant business is tough, of course, and it took a lot of effort to keep J.

Taverne

Timothy’s going in the early days. Adams said he and Welch started out in one of the “worst restaurant depres-sions ever” – 1979 through 1983. They started during an era of 15 to 18 percent inter-est rates. But the owners’ el-bow-grease attitude kept the ship afloat.

Obstacles remain, however.“Keeping up with the main-

tenance of a 200-year-old building is a constant chal-lenge. We have gone through three or four renovations to get us where we are now,” Adams said. “It has been a challenge working with the government. They want to tell you how to run your business. And Connecticut is known, unfortunately, for be-ing one of the worst states to do business in, and it really translates in a business that

has high labor content, like a restaurant.”

Having been around for such a long time, it’s not surprising a legend has de-veloped that the taverne is haunted.

“It’s out there, it’s a rumor,” Adams said, “I’ve personally never run into anything. I have some people who are probably a little more skittish than I that feel they have. I think there have been two vi-olent deaths in the building, one as recently as the 30s or 40s when the nighttime jan-itor was interrupting a rob-bery and got bludgeoned to death.”

In business 35 memorable years, Adams and Welch are optimistic about the future and looking to expand the J. Timothy’s brand by bringing their sauce to grocery stores; starting locally and hoping to go national.

Plainville resident Amanda Miller has long had a love of scrapbooking, and she has taken that love and used it to it grow CT Scrapbooking, a small business in Farmington.

The business , which started out online three years ago as ct-scrapbooks.com, expanded to the Farmington store location in June, and is a contestant for a $2,500 dona-tion from NBC Connecticut and The Hartford, courtesy of the Small Business Boost

contest.In addition to the prize

money, the contest winner will also get to meet with a small business expert.

“It’s a lot of work. There is a lot more that goes into it than what people see, a lot of behind the scenes stuff,” Miller said when talking about the process of laying out the game plan for build-ing CT Scrapbooks. “There are pros and cons to owning your own business, but to me, it is worth it.”

Miller said she has paid some $6,000 to build the

store, and never took out a loan.

“It is important to support small businesses if you can because it is us; it directly af-fects the lives of all of us, ver-sus going to larger stores like A.C. Moore,” the store owner said. “There are things I can offer that they can’t.”

Miller has enjoyed the tran-sition to a brick and mortar store because of the oppor-tunities it gives her to have more face-to-face experi-ences with customers.

to replace the steam boilers with hot water at Wheeler.

BOE member Andrea Saun-ders said in a phone interview with The Citizen that she sup-ports upgrades at the schools, but wants to be sure that all this work is necessary. She noted that while the board has looked at making these upgrades multiple times, the price has risen from roughly $5 million to just over $9 mil-lion. Projected fees for the work brought it to nearly $13 million.

“I had looked at three dif-ferent points in time that the board looked at some of their capital needs,” Saunders said when referring to a comment she made at the meeting. “At one point we were talking about $5.2 million, then last year it went up to $7.5 million, and then it went up to a lit-tle over $9 million. The costs have gone up, and I think at this point we just need to take a step back and review every-thing, see what our real needs are, and put a good number in front of the taxpayer so that it will be passed.”

At the meeting, Super-intendent of Schools Jef-

frey Kitching said that if the town moves ahead with the projects, it could probably get around $1.5 million to $2 million reimbursed from the state.

Charles Boos, of Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc., ex-plained the additional costs at the meeting. Kaestle Boos is a design company based in New Britain.

“At this point in the plan-ning process, the estimates are based on tasks, and data from other projects tells us how much this should cost, but there is not a refined esti-mate because we are not into the engineering drawings, which come later,” he said. “So a 10 percent contingency fee based on a task is reason-able at this time. It also cov-ers a potential escalation in construction costs between now and bid time.”

Although there is some hesitancy to move forward with this, BOE member Becky Tyrell said to both groups that this work needs to be done, and the public should support it.

“We may have to pass a big-ger price then we thought we needed, but the worst thing that could happen would be to pass a price that doesn’t get the job done. So if every-one in this committee and the town council feels that this is a job that has to be done – and I think we all do –the public should follow us.

cost GE, but said there will be no cost to the town. He said the town will hire an inspec-tor for the project, but that GE will reimburse the town for that cost.

Lee is not worried about GE following proper proce-dures with the clean-up, as the company is hiring con-tractors to complete the work. He said “these contrac-tors can lose their licenses if they don’t follow the rules.”

“I looked at a lot of prop-erties before choosing here,” she said. “My biggest thing was that I wanted to find a

place that was affordable enough so I could keep my prices low – they are cheap and competitive compared to the big stores.”

According to a press release

from the The Hartford, to participate in the Small Busi-ness Boost contest, a business must be in Connecticut, hire locally, provide a community benefit, and have fewer than 100 employees.

That’s no problem for Miller, who is the only em-ployee at her store. Also, she has donated to various causes in Connecticut.

Miller, who makes her own kits to sell, believes scrap-booking will always hold a special place with people.

“Preserving memories makes scrapbooking spe-cial,” she said. “It’s definitely a niche.”

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles out-side the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or tem-

porary cessation of hostil-ities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

In November 1919, Pres-ident Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armi-stice Day with the following words: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with sol-

This generation’s veter-ans are facing a number of new challenges, according to the Senior Vice Com-mander-in-Chief of the United States Veterans of Foreign Wars, John Bie-drzycki. Those trials in-clude problems with the Department of Veterans Affairs and predatory edu-cational programs that take advantage of VA benefits.

Biedrzycki recently vis-ited six locations in Con-necticut, including the Berlin VFW. The second in command of the national VFW leadership, Biedrzy-cki will likely become com-mander-in-chief, according to tradition, explained Ber-lin VFW Post Commander Tom Uznanski.

Uznanski said it was a great honor for such an important VFW leader to come to town.

Biedrzycki spoke with local veterans on a num-ber of topics, including the aging population of VFW membership. This is one reason, Uznanski and Bie-drzycki agreed, the VFW should pay special atten-tion to the issues faced by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

“The whole mission of the VFW is veterans help-ing veterans,” Uznanski said.

“Each generation of vet-erans has different issues,” Biedrzycki said. Many of the aging veterans, for ex-ample, were exposed to Agent Orange, including Biedrzycki himself.

This next generation of veterans includes 12,000 amputees, Biedrzycki said, and more is being discov-ered about traumatic brain injury, and how it relates to PTSD.

“These young men and women need help and

guidance when they come back and we are an excel-lent organization for that,” Biedrzycki said. “The commitment to veterans doesn’t end when the bat-tle is over. The true cost of service lasts a lifetime,” the senior vice commander added.

Among the challenges veterans face when re-turning home are things that can be addressed by state laws. Biedrzycki spoke with local legisla-tors, including House Ma-jority Leader Aresimowicz and Southington state Rep. Dave Zoni, about some of these challenges.

Some veterans, for ex-ample, are exploited by in-surance companies upon returning home, Biedrzy-cki argued. After hav-ing car insurance lapsed while overseas, veterans are given the much higher introductory insurance rates upon their return. “We need consideration at the state level,” Biedrzycki said, to agreement from legislators present.

On the national level, Biedrzycki said the VFW is very concerned about the Veterans Administra-tion and VA funding. “Ev-ery year we go and testify (before Congress) and hear the same thing, time after time,” Biedrzycki said. “Veterans need more timely and effective care.”

Healthcare isn’t the only issue affecting young vets, however, according to Bie-drzycki. The VFW has established a hotline for veterans because so many are having trouble with their educational benefits.

“These young men and women need to watch out for fly-by-night schools,” Biedrzycki added.

“Veterans are given false promises of career success and then leave the pro-

emn pride in the heroism of those who died in the coun-try’s service and with grat-itude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”

The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business be-ginning at 11:00 a.m.

The United States Con-gress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words:

Whereas the 11th of No-vember 1918, marked the cessation of the most de-structive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and

Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be com-memorated with thanksgiv-ing and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding be-tween nations; and

Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Re-solved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the Presi-dent of the United States is requested to issue a proc-lamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suit-able places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly rela-tions with all other peoples.

An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday — a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be

thereafter celebrated and known as “Armistice Day.” Armistice Day was primar-ily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the great-est mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organi-zations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in its place the word “Veter-ans.” With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, Novem-ber 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Later that same year, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower is-sued the first “Veterans Day Proclamation” which stated: “In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all vet-erans, all veterans’ orga-nizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common pur-pose. Toward this end, I am designating the Administra-tor of Veterans’ Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible.”

On that same day, Presi-dent Eisenhower sent a let-ter to the Honorable Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs (VA), des-ignating him as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee.

In 1958, the White House advised VA’s General Coun-sel that the 1954 designation of the VA Administrator as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee applied to all subsequent VA Administrators. Since March 1989 when VA was elevated to a cabinet level depart-ment, the Secretary of Veter-ans Affairs has served as the

committee’s chairman.The Uniform Holiday Bill

(Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day week-ends for Federal employees by celebrating four na-tional holidays on Mondays: Washington’s Birthday, Me-morial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It was thought that these extended weekends would encourage travel, recreational and cul-tural activities and stimulate greater industrial and com-mercial production. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on

their original dates.The first Veterans Day

under the new law was ob-served with much confu-sion on October 25, 1971. It was quite apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citi-zens, and so on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual obser-vance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. This action supported the desires of the overwhelming major-ity of state legislatures, all

major veterans service orga-nizations and the American people.

Veterans Day continues to be observed on Novem-ber 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only pre-serves the historical signifi-cance of the date, but helps focus attention on the im-portant purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

grams no better off,” Biedrzy-cki said.

Some for-profit educa-tional programs, according to Biedrzycki, target veterans because of their educational benefits.

As Alexandera Rice re-ported for The Huffington Post, a loophole exists re-garding for-profit colleges and veterans benefits in the

90-10 rule. The rule normally requires for-profit colleges to receive no more than 90 percent of their income from federal student aid sources, including grants or loans, and at least 10 percent should come from students or par-ents directly. In effect, this means that tuition cost ver-sus the value of the education has to be at a level such that students as a whole (though not as individuals) are willing

and able to pay 10 percent. The veterans loophole al-

lows colleges to count bene-

fits through the New GI Bill as part of the 10 percent of the 90-10 rule. As a result, some

for-profit colleges are incen-tivized to recruit as many veterans as possible, as they offer a way to help balance their books, Rice reported.

“I’ve seen too much of it,” Biedrzycki said of the pred-atory educational programs.

U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin released a report in 2012 following a two-year investi-gation of for-profit colleges. In a statement released to The New York Times, Har-kin reported finding “over-whelming documentation of exorbitant tuition, aggressive recruiting practices, abysmal student outcomes, taxpayer dollars spent on market-ing and pocketed as profit, and regulatory evasion and manipulation.”

Not all the discussion was grave at the VFW, however. Upon greeting some Army veterans, Biedrzycki, an Army vet himself, joked “I knew there was something I liked about you.”

“When the chips are down, we stick together, but it’s a great source of merriment and humor when we kid each other about our background,” Biedrzycki explained, recall-ing some recent jokes be-tween him and some Navy veterans.

CROSS COUNTRY

Omar Abdelsame capped a fantastic senior season by fin-ishing 19th at the State Open meet held on Saturday.

Alex Ostberg of Darien took home first place, finish-ing the race in 14:58.

Abdelsame, who finished third in the Class M state meet, finished his open race in 16:14, running at a 5:15 pace. Only 11 seconds separated the runners from ninth through 20th in the final standings. Abdelsame finished only three seconds from placing five spots higher (14th over-all) in the final standings.

Abdelsame was the lone competitor for Plainville in the race.

FOOTBALLThe Blue Devils won their

second game in a row with a 20-18 triple overtime thriller over Rockville on Friday night.

Senior tailback Dante Cor-rea scored on a three-yard touchdown run to put Pla-inville ahead, 18-12, before scoring a decisive two-point conversion. Although the Rams scored on their over-time possession, the Blue Devils were able to deny Rockville from completing its conversion attempt to end the game.

Quiet for much of the con-test, Plainville found itself in a 12-0 hole at halftime that lasted until the fourth quar-ter. In the final 12 minutes of regulation, the Blue Devils broke through, scoring on a four-yard run from Correa and a 55-yard run from senior tailback Jaeden Ferrara. Both conversion attempts failed for Plainville, which led to Correa’s overtime heroics.

Correa and Ferrara had ter-rific games moving the ball on the ground, as each senior finished with over 130 yards on the day.

Plainville (3-5) will look to bolster its win streak on Fri-day, when the locals travel to Tolland to take on the Eagles (2-6). The game will begin at 6:30 p.m.

tourney) squared off against the second-seeded Suff-ield Wildcats (14-0-2) in the Round 1 matchup.

The survivor of that one moves on to a second round matchup with the winner of the 15th seed Platt Tech-18th seed Enfield game.

Plainville would play on the road in Round 2 re-gardless of the opponent, as the locals would be the lower seeded team in either scenario.

While the Plainville team is laden with young talent, the girls were able to make a push to the playoffs due to a late 2-1-1 stretch to finish the regular season.

A defensive-minded team,

the Blue Devils’ goalkeeper, junior Julianna Christy, has been called upon countless times to help Plainville suc-ceed, and has recorded three shutouts in the process.

Senior defenders Mea-gan Cameron and Brittany Ferro have also stepped up in a major way, contributing to both the team’s offensive and defensive success. Se-nior midfielder Sarah Grosse has also had a stellar season in leading the young Dev-ils, with contributions from junior Stephanie Martino and sophomore Melissa Lux throughout the season.

Upstart freshmen Litzy Cruz and Dominika Mis came into their own to help Plainville make the tournament.

Notes

dan West recorded seven saves to keep the game grid-locked prior to the Blue Dev-ils’ domination in penalty kicks.

Last week, the Blue Dev-ils reported a team violation against themselves that re-sulted in a much lower tour-nament seeding than initially anticipated. Although the squad recorded a 10-5-1 reg-ular season record on the pitch, the Blue Devils played

an Oct. 14 game against Platt with an ineligible player and were forced to forfeit the matchup. The ineligible player had recorded three yellow cards throughout the season prior to the infraction, yet didn’t sit out the next game (against Platt), as CIAC regulations require.

The Blue Devils (10-6-1) were set to face third-seeded Bullard Havens Tech (15-2-0) in the second round of the tournament on Wednesday, after press time.

WALLINGFORD — A Waterbury man faces fel-ony charges after police said he forged more than $20,000 worth of checks from a local law firm.

Edwin Garcia-Lozado, 49, of 465 W. Main St., Waterbury, was charged with first-de-gree larceny, conspiracy to commit first-degree larceny, second-degree forgery, and conspiracy to commit sec-ond-degree forgery.

According to the arrest

warrant, Garcia-Lozado along with two accomplices, opened bank accounts at different Lib-erty Bank branches around the state in early May.

Around May 10, the three deposited a “series of counter-feit checks” from the business account of Laughlin Fitzgerald law firm based on 150 S. Main St., the warrant said.

Joan Malloy, of the law firm, reported the fraud on May 12, the warrant said. A total of $20,165 in fraudulent checks were cashed by various tellers at Liberty Bank branches, the warrant said. Police were able to get the information Gar-cia-Lozado used to open the account and track down his license and address, the war-rant said.

Locations included the Lib-erty Bank in Bristol, Southing-ton, Plainville, Norwich, East Hampton and an ATM with-drawal in Newington, the war-rant said.

Garcia-Lozado was ar-raigned in Meriden Superior Court Oct. 27. Judge Philip Scarpellino released Gar-cia-Lozado so he could return to a residential bed at a reha-bilitation facility.

He is due back in court on Nov. 20. According to state-ments in court, Garcia-Lozado has 13 prior convictions, in-cluding one for second-de-gree larceny. He has three pending cases in Hartford Su-perior Court, according to the bail commissioner. Two of the cases involve larceny charges, according to the state Judicial Branch website.

SOUTHINGTON — A Plainville man has pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter in a fatal hit-and-run accident that oc-curred after the February 2013 blizzard.

Edward Fascendini, 46, of 66 Whiting St., was arrested May 9, 2013, and initially charged with felony miscon-duct with a motor vehicle and three counts of evading responsibility, to which he pleaded not guilty. Fascen-dini pleaded guilty on Oct. 27 to the sole count of sec-ond-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle, a class C felony.

According to the criminal clerk, no information was available about whether the plea was part of a deal for sentencing. Fascendini is due back in court for dispo-sition on Jan. 13, 2015. The case had been on the jury list for months before the plea.

According to the arrest warrant, Yan Qiao “Joanne” Chen, Hong “Rita” Yang and Liu “Emily” Huai, all 23, were walking home from their shift at the Gobi Mon-golian Grill on Queen Street

shortly after 10 p.m. on Feb. 12, 2013, a Tuesday. The side-walks were covered in snow from the blizzard three days before, causing all three women to walk in the street.

While walking on Queen Street near Aircraft Road to-ward their home on Upson Drive, the women were all struck by Fascendini’s white Dodge pickup truck, which was heading north on Queen Street.

Chen died as a result of her injuries two days later, and Yang and Huai were hospitalized with serious injuries. Police used sur-veillance video and a small piece of plastic from a bro-ken headlight left at the scene to make the link to Fascendini’s truck. Police spoke with witnesses from that night who said Fascen-dini had been drinking at a local bar, the warrant said. Fascendini was on parole at the time of the crash. He has been held on bond since his arrest last year.

Chen came to the United States from her native China more than five years earlier in search of a better life, ac-cording to an uncle who traveled from China after the accident.

“On behalf of the families

of the victims, we want the driver to turn himself in,” Chen’s uncle, Ni Qing Qun, said during a February 2012 press conference at the po-lice department. “He has cost the life of an innocent girl. He has caused the pain and suffering of the family in China.”

Chen’s next-door neigh-bor, Justin Malachowski, told the Record-Journal at the time that the women regularly took a shortcut to get to the restaurant where they worked by walking through a small field behind their house that connects to a shopping plaza. But since that area was covered with about 2 feet of snow, Mal-achowski said, the women had no choice but to walk on Queen Street to get to and from work wearing uni-forms that were all black.

A lawyer hired by Chen’s family filed an intent-to-sue notice with the town and the state within 90 days of the accident. The town had suspended the requirement for snow removal from side-walks on Feb. 10, the day after the blizzard ended, ac-cording to the town’s web-site. The status of that filing was not immediately avail-able Monday.
