Berlin police are trying to identify two riders accused of damaging the golf course at the Shuttle Meadow Country Club.

Police said they riders were spotted Saturday around 3 p.m. One person was on a quad ATV and the second was on a dirt bike. The riders, who police believe are both young men, may live in the area and have done damage on the golf course in the past.

The golf course is located at 51 Randeckers Lane and the area is near the Ragged Mountain Trails.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact Berlin police at 860 828-7080.

A Wallingford vehicle hauling business has plans for a big expansion, but neighbors are concerned that the construction and new location could mean big disruptions.

“We’re kind of out of room here. We need a lot more office space. We’re out of room and just looking for an upgrade,” said East Side Auto Transport general manager Grant Kolton.

Kolton said the business will construct a 10,000-square foot building with garage bays to hold new, used, and auctioned cars, and office space on Thorpe Avenue.

East Side Auto Transport brings 2,000 vehicles a year from Main to North Carolina on double-decker 18-wheel car carriers, Kolton told NBC Connecticut. He said the company plans to keep its current location on North Plains Industrial Road.

“There’s going to be maintenance, stuff like that and there’s going to be nice office space for us,” explained Kolton.

Wallingford’s Planning and Zoning Commission recently gave the project the green light, with several conditions. The area is prone to flooding, so a drainage pond is required according to Town Planner Kacie Costello. She said the company will also be barred from washing or doing maintenance on vehicles at their new location. East Side Auto Transport has agreed to plant extra trees to serve as a buffer between the property and homes across the street.

“I’m not really happy about the noise and construction and my baby sleeping,” said Justina Darragh.

The new mother bought her home on Thorpe Avenue last year. Darragh lives a few houses down so she’ll have to look to her left to see the facility, but she knows noise has no property lines.

“It makes me actually really upset because we didn’t know about it,” said Darragh who worried about property values.

The property sits directly in front of Saeed Mustafa’s home.

“It’s going to be an issue for me too. Normally, I just pull in and out safely, right? There’s going to be safety issue if they’re parking trucks there,” said Mustafa.

The town planner said trucks will only be allowed to enter from Research Parkway, which sits adjacent to the other end of the property.

Thorpe Avenue, a popular place to take walks could be impacted by the sights and sounds of construction. People up and down the street are voicing their concerns.

“I’m concerned because I walk every day on this road and the reason why I chose this road is because it’s so quiet,” said Christina Wessels who works nearby and walks on Thorpe Avenue every day.

Other homeowners said they are worried about the noise of the trucks and potential pollution once the business is up and running. The town planner said the property is required to remain 50 percent open space and will have 115 foot landscape buffer along Thorpe Avenue. East Side Auto Transport says it’s committed to being a good neighbor and has agreed to add extra trees along the street.

“Our trucks are very quiet, they’re all brand new. They don’t make much noise,” Kolton said. “The strictest standards for emissions go with these trucks, so they don’t smoke either.”

Right now, the town collects just over $6,000 in property taxes, but once developed, the taxes are expected to triple.

“Every little bit adds up, every little account helps. Wallingford has over $4 billion grant list so this is a nice little addition to that area of Research Parkway,” said Wallingford’s Tax Assessor Shelby Jackson.

Jackson estimated East Side Auto Transport will pay $20,000 in property taxes once the project is finished, a small figure compared to Wallingford’s top tax payer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, which moved out from the other side of Research Parkway last year.

“There’s really no comparison. I mean Bristol Myers, they were paying in excess of $2 million a year in taxes,” Jackson said.

Kolton said the company hopes to add more jobs because once it’s able to expand it should take on additional contracts. Right now, it employs 10 people in its office.

Hamden Public Schools have activated a “crisis team” to help students, faculty and staff process the news that a Hamden Public Schools employee resigned after she allegedly was caught on camera using racial slurs at a supermarket in East Haven, Connecticut, on Friday.

The incident took place at ShopRite on Foxon Road, officials confirmed.

"The video appears to show the employee repeatedly calling an African-American man the N-word," according to a statement from Hamden Public Schools. The video also appeared to show the woman spit at the man.

Hamden Public Schools Superintendent Jody Ian Goeler identified the woman as Corinne Terrone, a clerk in the school board offices.

The video also appears to show Terrone's children witnessing the conduct and because the children were there, school administrators filed a report with the Department of Children and Families, the statement said.

[[507260142,c]]

After learning about the incident, the district’s Human Resource Director contacted Terrone and arranged a meeting with her. Shortly after arrangements for the meeting were made, school officials said Terrone gave her resignation, effective immediately.

Terrone has not been charged in this incident.

Walter L. Morton IV, the chair of the Hamden Board of Education personnel committee, said the school board and central office took action as soon as they became aware of the situation, and continue to take steps to help the school community cope.

“It was disturbing. I mean, it was vile. It was disgusting. You know, as a black man who graduated from Hamden High School it home and but you know not in a good way. I mean it’s certainly not reflective of the community, of the school district," Morton said.

Morton explained that the crisis team consists of staff, administrators social workers and psychologists. The team will focus efforts on the high school because Terrone was at one point stationed there. The team will give students, faculty and staff the opportunity to talk about what happened and how to make it into a learning experience.

There will also be conversations at other schools about the events that took place and how to go forward.

“My heart certainly goes out to the individuals who were on the receiving end of that tirade. I can only imagine the feelings that they experienced being in public and being embarrassed and being called such terrible, terrible things in front of people. And frankly not given a luxury in that moment to respond and give in to their feelings," Morton said.

East Haven Police said they are aware of the video and are investigating the incident.

"We are urging any potential victims of last night’s incident to contact us so we can investigate this matter further. Speech like this has no place in today’s society and nobody deserves to be spit at or called racist names," a spokesperson for the police department said. As of Monday, police said no one has come forward to file a complaint.

A spokesperson for ShopRite confirmed the tirade unfolded inside their East Haven store. A spokesperson wrote, in part, “We are cooperating fully with the police and have provided store video footage for their investigation. We encourage anyone with additional information about the incident to contact the East Haven police. We are saddened and deeply disturbed that this occurred in our store and affected our customers..”

NBC Connecticut has not been able to reach Terrone for comment.

Should the terminally ill have the ability to decide how they die? That question is again before state lawmakers in Hartford.

The House Public Health Committee heard public testimony Monday on HB 5898, the latest proposed legislation allowing aid in dying for those with an irreversible illness.

Members of the public and state lawmakers were among those who came to the hearing to voice their opinions.

“Please let us be absolutely sure that we know what opening this Pandora’s Box will lead to,” said Rep. Holly Cheeseman (R-East Lyme).

“We have about 40 or so years’ worth of aid in dying regulations on the books in eight different jurisdictions. We have seen that there’s no abuse and no collusion” said Rep. Josh Elliott (D - Hamden).

Committee member Rep. Michelle Cook (D-Torrington) has listened to debate on this issue each time it’s come up over the years and listened for new perspectives again today.

“I’m in a position now of what does this look like? I’ve always said the devil is in the details when it comes to what a piece of legislation ends up to be,” she said.

Cook is undecided, saying there are lots of details that need to be resolved before she’ll be comfortable supporting or opposing this legislation.

“Each part of it has a layer. You peel the layers back one at a time. Is it the 90 pills an issue? Is the religious component an issue? Is it what you personally believe that is issue?” said Cook.

The hearing began at 10:30 a.m. Monday, continuing well into the evening. The committee has until early April to approve or vote down the bill. If its approved, it moves to the full House for further consideration.

Three years after Yale men’s basketball pulled off a 12-5 upset over Baylor for the university’s first win ever in the NCAA Tournament, the Bulldogs are back in the Big Dance after defeating Harvard in the Ivy League Tournament Championship game in New Haven.

For Yale Junior Miye Oni, the Ivy League Player of the Year, seeing Yale revealed on the bracket during Selection Sunday is a moment he’ll never forget.

“I’ve never been more excited about something team oriented in my life,” Oni told NBC Connecticut before practice Monday. “It was great, apart from my little cousins being born and couple other moments, that was one of the best moments of my life.”

Video shared by the team on Twitter showed the joy and jubilation from all the Bulldogs as they learned their draw against the LSU Tigers in the first round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament.

“It was really surreal to see Yale in the March Madness bracket again,” Yale senior Blake Reynolds said.

Reynolds is one of the players that got to taste March Madness on the 2016 team with Coach James Jones.

“It’s kind of what you dream about as a coach,” Jones said. “They saw what it was like as a freshmen. As freshmen, they didn’t get to participate much in it and they wanted to be able to revel in their moment.”

The Ivy League Champs are the 14-seed in the East Region. Their game against 3-seed LSU is being played in Yale Junior Austin Williams’ hometown of Jacksonville.

“We’re hoping our discipline and focus on us, our offense, our defense and staying disciplined hopefully we can get a win,” Williams said.

The Yale coaching staff, that has limited time to prepare for a team from the SEC, is very familiar with one of LSU’s star players.

“Fortunately, Tremont Waters is a kid we recruited so as a fan I’ve watched LSU play about 3 or 4 times on ESPN, I’ve gotten a good look at them and their team,” Coach Jones said of the former Connecticut Gatorade High School Player of the Year.

Waters initially committed to play college hoops at Georgetown, but ended up taking his talents to LSU.

Now a sophomore, Waters is the Tigers’ top scorer heading into this March Madness match-up with his hometown’s team. It will also be his debut in the Big Dance.

“In a lot of ways Connecticut is a smaller version of Indiana,” Notre Dame-West Haven boys basketball coach Jason She said, “this is our sport, basketball is really our sport.”

Shea, who is also the athletic director, coached New Haven’s Waters during his final year of high school basketball.

“Even watching his highlight videos didn’t do it justice,” he said, “to see him on the court his basketball IQ is so superior to most players, I see that even on the college level.”

Waters is only 5”11, but he has become one of college basketball’s best players, leading LSU to an SEC regular season championship.

“I think he chose right, he’s put LSU on the map,” Shea said.

“He’s a very special player,” said Tobe Carberry, a Yale assistant coach Tobe Carberry, “but I feel confident that our guys will be ready I mean we have some explosive guard as well.”

Carberry, who starred at Hillhouse High School, said he saw something special in Waters working with him at youth basketball camps when he was 8-12 years old in New Haven.

“He’s very savvy,” Carberry said. “He’s a true point guard and just so thrilled and proud of his career how he’s been able to play well.”

Before leaving for his freshman year, NBC Connecticut caught up with Waters when he helped promote the 2017 3-on-3 youth “Hoop It Up” tournament in the Elm City.

“He certainly wants to give back to his community and I think that New Haven basketball has great tradition,” Shea said.

Oni, who is considered a potential NBA second-round pick if he leaves Yale after the season, said he hopes his team will be able to create another unforgeable moment Thursday afternoon in Florida.

“I remember in high school watching the tournament, those early games are a lot of when most of the upsets happen,” Oni said, “so I hope we can follow suit get the job done.”

Yale and LSU’s game begins at 12:40 p.m. It will be broadcast on TruTV.

Video of a woman’s racist rant at a supermarket in East Haven is continuing to make rounds on the internet.

The incident happened Friday night at ShopRite, and a portion of it was captured on video. That tirade continued when she made 911 calls to police.

In the 911 calls provided by East Haven PD, the woman says she’s angry and wants to talk to an officer.

She also explained what she says led to the apparent racist rant in the supermarket aimed at an African American man.

And while on the phone with police, she again used expletives and racial slurs to describe him.

Here is a portion of one of those calls:

“The man in his little, um, scooter said, ‘Are you talking to me (expletive)?’ And I said, “No (expletive), I’m not” because he called me a (expletive), I called him a (expletive), then he continued to get up and threaten me, so there was spitting going back and forth. He spit on the back of me and I am pressing charges.”

Police say the woman was later identified as Corinne Magoveny-Terrone.

Hamden Public Schools superintendent says the woman was a clerk in the central office and resigned as an investigation into the video got underway.

The superintendent says since it appears the woman’s children were there at the time the district filed a report with the Department of Children and Families.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Department of Children and Families called the video disturbing.

They went on to write in part:

“The Department does investigate reports that a parent or other person responsible for a child’s care is acting erratically or in an impaired fashion that puts a child’s safety at risk or is injurious to their well-being. Under CT law, we are unable to disclose child protection records publicly.”

A Hamden school board member tells me a crisis team was activated at the high school where the woman also used to work and students had the opportunity to talk about what happened.

East Haven police say no one has come forward to file a criminal complaint.

No charges have been filed and we have not been able to reach Magoveny-Terrone for comment.

The cause of a house fire in Willimantic is under investigation on Tuesday morning.

A family at a home on Winter Street awoke to smoke in their home and called 911, fire officials said.

When firefighters arrived, they said the family was out of the house and there was a small amount of fire showing from the front of the bottom of the house.

Crews were able to extinguish the fire quickly. Firefighters said they then did an extensive search to make sure it wasn't in the walls.

The family was allowed back in the home after firefighters finished their investigation.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

An 8-year-old Nigerian refugee whose family is homeless recently won first place at the New York State chess championship without a single defeat and he says he is not done yet.

“I like deep thinking,” Tanitoluwa Adewumi said.

Tanitoluwa is a third-grader who started playing chess a year ago and whose coach at PS 116 said practices the board game every single day for hours on his own.

“He smiled every time he did anything on the board or learned something new,” Shawn Martinez said. “I could just tell this game was for him.”

Tanitoluwa moved to New York City with his family two years ago as refugees from Nigeria. They have been living in a shelter and his parents say he can only practice the game on the floor.

Tanitoluwa won the championship for his age group and took home a big trophy to prove it.

“His eyes lit up,” Martinez said.

Tanitoluwa will now prepare for the national championship in May.

“I want to be the youngest grandmaster in the world,” Tanitoluwa said.

Rocky Hill Police have detained a person of interest after a stabbing late Monday night.

Officers received a 911 call from the Century Hills Apartment Complex shortly after 11 p.m. reporting that a man had been stabbed multiple times inside of an apartment.

When officers arrived, they said they found the man who had been stabbed and immediately began life saving measures.

The man was transported to Hartford Hospital. Police said his condition is unknown at this time.

A person of interest has been detained and is cooperating with the investigation, according to police.

The Connecticut States Attorney's Office and Connecticut State Police Major Crime Division are assisting the Rocky Hill Police Detective Division with the investigation.

The investigation is ongoing and officers said there is no threat to the public.

Officials have not released the identities of the man who was stabbed or the person of interest.

A Wethersfield business is trying to decide what to do after hundreds of dollars’ worth of items were taken in the middle of the day.

In surveillance video from March 7, you can see a silver minivan drive up and back in to the spot closest to True Value Hardware in Wethersfield. A camera pointed inside shows someone quickly enter the front door and then walk out. A snow blower is then seen being wheeled away. The minivan's rear hatch opens and closes, and then the driver takes off.

"I felt violated. I felt terrible," said owner Joseph Scarpantonio.

For 15 years Scarpantonio says he's never had high-priced items taken from his store on Silas Deane Highway, but now it's happened twice in less than two weeks. Scarpantonio says the most recent incident happened Monday afternoon.

"As soon as I had a power washer out there, it must have been just a few hours before it was stolen," said Scarpantonio.

Surveillance video shows someone walk up, look through the main door, and then grab the power washer and take off. Scarpantonio says they've always brought items out when opening up in the morning and brought them back in before closing for the night. It's a way for customers to get a better look at big-ticket items.

"Financially it's very traumatic. This is something you put outside that you might only profit a few dollars on," said Scarpantonio.

Scarpantonio says the thefts have cost him hundreds of dollars and now they're rethinking how they do business.

"We're actually thinking about what we're going to do about it. Are we going to put those things outside or are we going to leave them in boxes? We're just not sure," said Scarpantonio.

The owner says he plans to increase security and hopefully it won't happen again.

NBC Connecticut did reach out to Wethersfield Police but we have not yet heard back.

With the start of spring just days away, we'll start seeing motorcycles on the road. In Connecticut, it isn't mandatory for riders to wear helmets, but every year there is a push at the Capitol to change that.

You may never ride a motorcycle, but you certainly share the road with them. So the question is should riders be forced to wear helmets?

There's a group of people pressuring legislators to make that decision. They're gathering at the Legislative Office Building to take a stand.

The group called "Heads First Connecticut" is made up of bikers, hospital leaders, police and advocates like AAA. They said helmets are the best defense against injury and compare it to a seatbelt or a car seat.

Legislators are already considering a bill that would require helmets.

Last month, there was a public hearing on it. People on both sides of the argument turned out.

"This should be our choice. You know? I want to take that chance. Let those who ride decide," said Norman Lejoie of Thomaston.

"But their choice comes at everyone else's expense. Family members of brain injury victims, first responders, doctors and nurses, and taxpayers ultimately must shoulder the expense," said Paul Siciliano of Heads First Connecticut.

The group that wants helmets will be meeting at the LOB and are holding a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.

Officials from Amity Regional School are investigating a rumor about a student who allegedly said that he or she was going to bring a gun to school and Amity Middle School and school officials said they do not believe there is any danger. 

A message sent to parents Monday afternoon says school officials spoke with several students, staff and parents and alerted the superintendent and police as a precaution. 

“At this time we do not believe that there is any danger to the school or our students,” the statement to families said. 

School officials said the resident state trooper for Bethany was at the middle school during the morning arrival time and left soon after school started. 

School administrators have continued to speak with students and no one has reported hearing firsthand a threat made to bring a gun to school or threaten the safety of students, according to school officials who said the incident remains unfounded. 

They ask anyone with first-hand knowledge to email assistant principal Thayer Doyle at Thayer.Doyle@amityregion5.org or call 203-393-3102.

Police have arrested an employee of a substance use disorder treatment center in North Haven who is accused of stealing patients’ identities to get services like cable and internet.

North Haven police arrested 39-year-old Kimberly Telford, of New Haven, who they said was a counselor at an outpatient center.

She is accused of using access to patient and client information to open a fraudulent account to obtain services such as cable and internet under a patient’s name.

Police said she confessed to doing this to more than one person at the center and additional warrants are being prepared.

Telford was charged with identity theft, criminal impersonation and larceny and was released after posting a $35,000 bond.

U.S. government scientists bought hundreds of dead dogs and cats from "Asian meat markets" and conducted experiments that included feeding their remains to healthy lab cats for needless research, according to a disturbing watchdog report being released Tuesday.

Other experiments at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's lab in Maryland included feeding dog remains to cats and injecting cat remains into mice, the report by the White Coat Waste Project found. The group is a non-profit that combats wasteful government spending on animal testing.

"It's crazy," Jim Keen, a former USDA scientist, told NBC News, which obtained a copy of the report. "Cannibal cats, cats eating dogs — I don't see the logic."

The experiments — some of which the agency said in scientific reports were aimed at studying different forms of a parasite that causes the food-borne illness toxoplasmosis — are believed to have been conducted between 2003 and 2015.

The USDA, which did not respond to requests for comment, has defended the cat testing in the past, calling it "life-saving research."

A coalition of sexual assault survivors and advocacy groups are calling on the NFL to ban Robert Kraft from team ownership following his arrest last month on soliciting prostitution charges.

The group sent a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saying the New England Patriots' owner should, at a minimum, be suspended six games, and should be banned from owning a team if found guilty of the charges he faces.

"Anything less will send that signal that owners are not held to a higher standard," the letter reads, "that their power, influence, and wealth permit them to get away with despicable actions, and that the NFL abets sexual exploitation and trafficking."

The group also called on Goodell to take immediate measures to create a culture that rejects all forms of sexual objectification, harassment, assault and exploitation of women by anyone associated with the NFL.

The letter comes on the eve of the NFL's Annual League Meeting next week in Phoenix Arizona.

Kraft is facing two misdemeanor counts of soliciting another for prostitution after authorities in Jupiter, Florida, said they caught him on video engaging in sex acts twice — including once hours before this year's AFC Championship Game — at an illicit massage parlor called the Orchids of Asia Day Spa. 

The 77-year-old Brookline, Massachusetts, resident was among hundreds of men charged with soliciting prostitution in February amid a wide-ranging investigation into human trafficking at massage parlor spas.

"It’s important for the NFL to recognize that those who buy people for sex engage in crimes of sexual coercion and violence," said Lisa L. Thompson, vice president of policy and research at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. "Payment for sex is a raw manifestation of sexual coercion. Men who buy people for sex use money to gain power and exercise temporary sexual control over others — typically women and girls. Further, we know that if men stopped purchasing people for sex, there would be no sex trafficking."

Kraft's arraignment in Florida is scheduled for March 28, but his lawyers have said he is not required to be present.

If convicted, he could face up to a year behind bars, according to prosecutors. While it's unlikely that he'll receive a jail sentence, legal experts said he could face other legal and legacy-related issues as a result of the allegations.

Milford police have arrested a man who is accused of embezzling more than $200,000 from a 68-year-old victim’s retirement savings and they are asking anyone who might have hired the man to contact authorities.

Police started the investigation into 40-year-old Travis Smith, of Hamden, when they received a complaint in October that he has solicited a Milford resident, acting as an investment agent, and promised to give the person a better return on investment.

Smith is accused of taking more than $206,000 of the victim’s retirement fund money then avoiding speaking with the victim.

Police said the money has been misappropriated and the victim no longer has access to it.

Smith has been charged with larceny in the first degree, larceny in the second degree, forgery in the second degree and telephone fraud in the first degree.

He was released on $50,000 bond and is due in Milford Court on April 9.

Anyone who thinks he or she might be a victim of Smith in a similar case is urged to email Detective Warwick, of the Milford Police Department, at mwarwick@ci.milford.ct.us or contact the local police department.

Multiple towns have been awarded a grant by the Connecticut Department of Housing to help homeowners with crumbling foundations test them for pyrrhotite.

The Connecticut Department of Housing (DOH) said Vernon, Ellington and Stafford were given a grant totaling $480,000 to help with the testing. The money will provide eligible property owners up to $5,000 to test their foundations with no upfront or out of pocket costs.

"The use of the money to test crumbling foundations in the municpalities of Vernon, Ellington and Stafford, often considered ground zero for crumbling foundations, is a welcome commitment. DOH intends to continue to work collaboratively with these municipalities in order to find a solution to an issue that affects one-third of our state," said Connecticut Department of Housing Commissioner Seila Mosquera-Bruno in a statement.

Vernon, Ellington and Stafford are among the towns hardest hit by crumbling foundations, officials said. Town leaders held a joint public hearing in August to gather input from the public that helped to form this grant application.

The program funded by this grant award will primarily benefit low-moderate income households, according to officials.

Information on how to apply for the testing program can be found at the Social Services Department in each town.

An inert grenade casing was found while public works crews were working on Henry Street in Wallingford Tuesday morning. 

Police said the call came in just after 8 a.m., the bomb squad determined the grenade was inert and the scene was clear by 9:30 a.m. 

State police took the device to dispose of it.

School officials in Watertown are investigating after video with racist comments surfaced on social media and said they plan to discipline anyone who was involved. 

Superintendent Rydell Harrison posted on Twitter Monday that he learned that a high school student made a racist comment on social media and he said hate speech will not be tolerated. 

Harrison shared a letter from Watertown High School Principal Daniel Carroll informing parents about a “video containing racially insensitive language” that went viral on social media Monday afternoon. 

Carroll’s letter says the video was brought to the attention of school administrators at the end of the school day Monday and there were concerns that the comment came from and was filmed by Watertown High School students. 

Carroll said that the school administration “will apply all appropriate disciplinary policies for those individuals who are responsible” and that counselors and school psychologists will be available for students affected by the comments. 

“Moving forward, Watertown High School will use this unfortunate incident as an opportunity to reinforce our position regarding equity, respect, and acceptance of all individuals in our school and community,” Carroll wrote. 

He went on to say that school officials have spoken with the Capitol Region Education Council and will contact the Anti-Defamation League to help the high school implement educational programs “regarding respect, appreciation and acceptance of differences.” 

“We will be discussing immediate steps and long-term planning with CREC and the ADL in order to provide educational and restorative support for our school community,” Carroll wrote. 

The school is also planning on how to move forward to address the dangers of social media and the impact “hasty posts can have on an individual, a school and a community,” according to Carroll’s letter. 

He is encouraging parents to speak with their children about respect and appreciation of others.
