FALLS VILLAGE — Students at Housatonic Valley Regional High School (HVRHS) watched a film about bullying as part of an effort to identify, discuss and eliminate such behavior.The film, “Finding Kind,” was shown on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 26. The 2009 documentary by Pepperdine University students Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson, chronicles the pair’s cross-country trip and their conversations with a wide and eclectic group of people, including psychologists, Dr. Phil, bullied teens and Idaho bikers.The film makes a reference to the 2010 case of Phoebe Prince, a 15-year-old girl who committed suicide after being bullied at South Hadley High School in Massachusetts. Six teenagers were charged with a variety of offenses; five were convicted and sentenced to probation and community service, and anti-bullying legislation was passed in the state legislature.Parsekian and Thompson’s interviews reveal a number of disconcerting truths: that girls as young as 10 refer to each other with words such as “bitch,” “slut,” “fat” or “ugly;” that women remember these insults and injuries for the rest of their lives; and that sometimes even the bullies grow up and are tormented by guilt for their actions.They also zero in on media — the barrage of images aimed at all women about how they should look and act, and the ubiquity of text messaging and Internet communication.One woman in the film notes that young girls “don’t go out to play, they sit and text,” and theorized that the lack of face-to-face contact makes it that much easier to fire off a demeaning message without considering the consequences.Matt Harnett, HVRHS principal, introduced the film. He said that even though the film is about women and girls, “the guys in the room are not off the hook.”He said that everyone in the room had experienced bullying, as a victim, a bully or a bystander.“We have to come together as a community and say ‘enough is enough.’ We start changing this today.”After the screening, Harnett returned to the front of the auditorium and repeated his earlier remark about the universality of bullying. He still remembers “word for word things said to me in the sixth- and seventh-grades. It sticks with you forever.”He asked the students to consider the following:“What can you do differently? The way things are doesn’t have to be the way it’s going to be. Your words are powerful, and when you hit ‘send’ you no longer have control.”“We’ve got to start taking better care of each other,” he said.Several students took the microphone. One girl said she wished more people could see the film. “Do we need to lose someone” before bullying is addressed, she asked. “We have amazing teachers and amazing kids. So do it!”A boy said that his peers are just as rough on each other as the girls. “Last year there were lots of times I didn’t want to go to school.”Another boy said he was initially picked on for being overweight. He reacted by becoming a bully himself.Then his grandparents died, he said, and he changed his attitude. “I realized you can’t take life for granted.”And a girl said the film brought back memories of a friend being bullied. “It disturbs me that people we’ve gone to school with for years can act that way.”About 50 parents attended another showing of “Finding Kind” the next evening.Harnett said that students approached him toward the end of the 2011-12 school year and expressed not only concern over bullying but the desire to do something about it. The film is the first of many activities on the subject of bullying planned for the 2012-13 school year.At the Oct. 1 meeting of the Region One Board of Education, Harnett said that the next activity in the anti-bullying effort would be “Operation Jungle Red,” which Harnett described as an anti-violence program that originated at Miami (Ohio) University.Students from Western Connecticut State University will come to HVRHS Oct. 25, and Harnett is taking a group to the university campus on Oct. 17.

Don Stevens of Salisbury foiled a hold-up at the Lakeville Wine Shop Monday evening by grabbing the wrist of his youthful would-be assailant. The stick-up man, a slightly built person of about 20, concealed his hand in his jacket and pointed his finger to make it appear like a pistol. But to Stevens, who thought at first the attempt was a prank, the gesture did not quite ring true. He lunged and grabbed the wrist of the youth. The hold-up man turned and ran out of the store. As he crossed the parking lot of the Lakeville Food Center, a large wrench fell out of his pocket. He got into a car that Stevens said obviously had been waiting for him, and it sped off. Since the time was 6:45 and darkness was descending, Stevens could see only that the car was white. Only afterward, when he started thinking about it, did Don realize that he had had what might have been a close call. “I’m not a hero,” he said. He went home and had a drink.

Six months after ban, kratom remains a concern for local clinicians
Debra A. Aleksinas
Sep 30, 2026
NORTH CANAAN — Six months after Connecticut outlawed kratom — a substance made from the leaves of a Southeast Asian tree and sold in smoke shops, gas stations and convenience stores for its stimulant and opioid-like effects — treatment providers say they continue to see people struggling with dependence and withdrawal.
At Mountainside Treatment Center in North Canaan, medical director Karen O’Flynn said more patients are seeking treatment for dependence on 7-OH, a potent compound derived from kratom.
“Here at Mountainside Treatment Center we are seeing a definite increase in the number of admissions for the treatment of 7-OH dependence, though we cannot know whether that is a direct result of the ban,” O’Flynn said.
Short for 7-hydroxymitragynine, 7-OH acts on the brain’s opioid receptors. Concentrated products containing the compound can cause tolerance, dependence and withdrawal.
The increase in treatment began before the ban. Mountainside recorded 184 admissions involving kratom use in 2025, up from 67 in 2024, The Lakeville Journal reported in March. Clinicians warned then that people already dependent on kratom could experience withdrawal if they suddenly lost access to it.
Connecticut classified kratom — including its leaves, stems and extracts, and 7-OH — as a Schedule I controlled substance effective March 25. Possessing or selling the product in the state is prohibited.
Access across state lines
The ban was quickly visible in North Canaan. The Lakeville Journal found that two local smoke shops had removed kratom from their shelves. Nevertheless, residents could still find it minutes away across the New York or Massachusetts borders.
That changed on the Massachusetts side Aug. 28, when a temporary one-year ban on all forms of kratom took effect. Four retailers have sued to block the measure, arguing that it treats traditional kratom leaf the same as concentrated or synthetic 7-OH products. The ban remains in effect while the case proceeds. New York continues to allow regulated adult sales of kratom.
“It’s not like Montana, where you have to drive four hours to get to another state,” said Jana Wu, Mountainside’s director of clinical integration.
Wu said she has heard from people obtaining kratom across state lines and online. Mountainside’s weekly clinician-led “Let’s Talk Kratom” support group draws participants from New York, she said, and its detox program is treating a growing number of people for kratom dependence.
Wu said Mountainside recorded a 50% increase in kratom-related treatment cases from March through September. She cautioned that the center cannot determine whether Connecticut’s ban caused the increase.
Some people who were already dependent on kratom may have sought treatment after the ban disrupted their supply and they began experiencing withdrawal. Mountainside cannot say whether that explains the rise. Wu said other possible factors include growing use, more potent products and greater recognition of kratom-related problems.
Mountainside’s numbers reflect people seeking care at the center, not kratom use throughout the Northwest Corner. Wu’s 50% figure covers kratom-related cases, while O’Flynn’s observation concerns admissions for dependence on 7-OH specifically.
Products found after the ban
Authorities have found prohibited products in Connecticut since March. In August, Greenwich police arrested a New York man accused of selling 7-OH from his vehicle and seized what they valued at about $20,000 in kratom products.
This month, Wallingford police announced the arrests of two smoke-shop employees after investigators found products containing 7-OH and 7-hydroxymitragynine pseudoindoxyl. Police said the products had remained on sale after the ban.
For people already dependent on kratom or 7-OH, removing the products from Connecticut shelves does not necessarily end their use.
O’Flynn urged families to carry naloxone, commonly known by the brand name Narcan, and to administer it in a suspected overdose even if they do not know what substance was taken. They should also call 911.
“Some of the substances coming onto the market require several doses of Narcan,” she said. “You will not harm someone by giving them Narcan, though you may precipitate sudden opioid withdrawal.”
O’Flynn said treatment providers are also watching whether people who can no longer obtain kratom turn to other substances.
“A ban on any substance, like a reduction in availability for any other reason, always carries a risk of people moving to other substances,” she said.
“Historically, this has led to different substances entering the market. Some can be more potent than the substances they replace and carry a greater overdose risk.”
How to talk with teens about kratom and other drugs
Kratom products are banned in Connecticut, but young people may still encounter kratom, or its potent derivative 7-OH.
Jana Wu, director of clinical integration at Mountainside Treatment Center in North Canaan, recommends starting conversations before a crisis. Ask teenagers what they have heard at school, online or from friends, rather than opening with an interrogation.
The goal, Wu said, is to keep communication open so teenagers feel comfortable asking for help. Parents can discuss the risks of dependence, the varying strength of products and the possibility of unknown ingredients. They can also make clear that a teenager can call them for help without fear of punishment.
Changes to watch for
No single behavior proves that a teenager is using drugs. Changes worth discussing include shifts in friends or activities; unexplained changes in sleep, appetite or energy; falling grades; withdrawal from activities once enjoyed; increasing secrecy; unexplained spending or missing money; and unfamiliar pills, powders, gummies, packets or vapes.
Connecticut’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services lists nausea, vomiting, dizziness, agitation and drowsiness among possible effects of kratom use. People who use it regularly may also experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop.
If someone cannot be awakened, is breathing slowly or shallowly, or is making choking or gurgling sounds, call 911 immediately. Give naloxone if it is available and stay with the person until help arrives.

Hedge your home heating oil now
Bill Schmick
Sep 30, 2026
The airways are chock full of stories bemoaning soaring gasoline and diesel prices lately. Much less attention is focused on rising heating oil prices this coming winter.
All the inflation data is reflecting how these rising energy costs are impacting your pocketbook. For diesel, which fuels the transportation industry and most of commercial America, the problem is even more acute than gas.
Some readers, depending on where you live, may also be facing another challenge besides higher gas prices. A close cousin to diesel fuel in the world of refined energy products is home heating oil. Around my town, regular gas is above $4.35, and diesel is now over $6.50 a gallon.
Diesel is now at an all-time high. Heating oil is following the diesel price higher. Fortunately, if there is a silver lining, many homes in the country run on gas or electric. The problem turns ugly in the Northeast, however. Over 4 million homeowners depend on heating oil, the most expensive way to heat a home and stay warm in the winter.
U.S. heating oil futures recently surpassed 2022 highs and have climbed almost 30% over the last quarter. Since the start of the year, they are up 120%. The Energy Information Administration forecasts the average price this year at $4.80/gallon, up 33% from last year. The catch is that prices vary widely depending on where you live.
In some states, heating oil use is greater than in others, such as Maine (50% of homes), Alaska (28%), Massachusetts (20%), and New York (15.53%), so the impact will be greater. I recommend calling your local oil company for a quote once you read this column. Don’t be surprised if the price is at least $2.00 or more per gallon above the government-forecasted average.
Before you ask, yes, you can blame the war in Iran. Part of the price increase is due to the closure of the Straits of Hormuz and other exit routes for crude oil and refined products out of the Middle East.
But some of the shortfall is also happening because the war that was supposed to be resolved on “Day One” of Trump’s re-election is still very much in contention. Ukraine is now able to hit Russian oil refineries thousands of miles away in retaliation for the devastation of its own energy resources over the last five years.
This matters because Russia is a major exporter of all kinds of petroleum products, including diesel and heating oil. As a result of the Ukrainian drone attacks, Russian production has fallen to the point that they have banned exports. This has created a supply shortfall for global customers, leading to much higher prices for diesel and heating oil outside the U.S.
Oil refiners in general, and U.S. refiners in particular, have been exporting some of their diesel and heating oil overseas to take advantage of price discrepancies between domestic and overseas markets. As a result, some refiners are experiencing even wider profit margins. There has been talk among legislators this week in Washington about restricting diesel exports from the U.S.
The Biden-era attempt to reduce LNG exports was a dismal failure. All it did was increase LNG prices worldwide. The same would happen if the government reduced diesel exports. Trump has not decided whether to restrict diesel exports, despite a massive lobbying effort this week by the energy trade.
The situation has escalated to a point where President Trump has asked Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky to cease fire on Russian refineries. You may remember Zelensky; he is the same man the U.S. President and Vice President publicly humiliated in the Oval Office a year ago for not being grateful enough for U.S. assistance during Russia’s war of aggression.
Trump this week claimed in a post on Truth Social that “Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian energy targets. Russia has agreed to do likewise.” Neither side has agreed yet, even after Zelensky met with the president at the United Nations assembly this week.
Zelensky reiterated his position that he would be willing to back off if Russia agreed to de-escalation as well, with assurances from his “partners.” Does that mean Trump is his partner again?
In any event, aside from praying for a mild winter, I suggest readers take advantage of your oil supplier’s standard pricing program, if you haven’t already. It is a way to hedge your upcoming fuel costs if administration-induced price spikes continue throughout the winter.
If you’re unfamiliar with hedging your oil costs, current program types include fixed-price plans, where you can lock in your per-gallon rate for the entire heating season (typically October through April). You pay the agreed price regardless of market changes. Premiums over spot prices are usually $0.10-$0.25/ gallon.
Price cap plans also set a maximum per-gallon price for the season. You pay the lower of the market rate or the cap. In this plan, the premium over spot you pay is typically $0.25 to $0.50 per gallon. Or you can take the risk that the war is over in the next month or so and opt for variable pricing, which is the spot market rate, without a cap or lock.

Region One board hears update on HVRHS Land Lab
Patrick L. Sullivan
Sep 30, 2026
FALLS VILLAGE — Bruce Bennett, chair of the Agricultural Science and Technology Education (ASTE) advisory board at Housatonic Valley Regional High School, updated the Region One Board of Education on activities at the Land Lab during its monthly meeting Monday, Sept. 14.
The Land Lab occupies two acres leased from Eversource north of the HVRHS campus on Warren Turnpike.
“It’s a hands-on experience in agriculture education,” Bennett said. “It’s no different than a chemistry lab or a physics lab.”
Students, staff and community volunteers have been working on the property for about 18 months. In that time, an outdoor classroom has been built, and garden beds have been installed and fenced in.
Bennett said the site contained remnants of old houses and barns and was considerably overgrown in places. Students did most of the clearing work.
The site also has, or is slated to have, a rain garden, a pollinator garden and a research garden, along with fruit trees, berries and apiaries. The lab has a solar-powered irrigation system.
Bennett thanked Laurelbrook Farm in North Canaan, Cream Hill Farm in Cornwall, Falls Village Sawmill and Matt’s Landscaping in Falls Village for contributing materials and expertise.
“So it’s been a real community effort,” Bennett said.
In other business, HVRHS Principal Ian Strever reported that the Class of 2030 has 81 members, bringing total enrollment at the high school to 313.
Strever also said the Capstone program, a graduation requirement for HVRHS seniors, has been modified to better publicize students’ project presentations and encourage community interest and involvement.
The final six weeks of the revised schedule are called “Portfolio Synthesis and Public Exhibition.”
Strever likened the exhibition to a science fair, where students present and defend their projects before judges and the public.

Cornwall-based HVA expands conservation network
Debra A. Aleksinas
Sep 30, 2026
CORNWALL — Five Connecticut municipalities have joined the federal Highlands Conservation Act region, making them eligible for grants to protect open space, wildlife habitat and water resources, the Cornwall-based Housatonic Valley Association announced last month.
Berlin, Bloomfield, New Britain, West Hartford and Windsor Locks join 43 Connecticut communities already eligible for grants administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Highlands region encompasses more than 3.4 million acres across Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Established by Congress in 2004, the Highlands Conservation Act supports the conservation of land important to drinking water, forests, wildlife, agriculture and recreation.
Since the program began, more than $80 million from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund has been directed to projects across the four-state region.
In Connecticut, Highlands funding has supported 52 projects, conserving more than 9,000 acres and attracting more than $18.5 million in federal funding, according to HVA.
Those efforts include a 276-acre conservation project in Salisbury that protects forested land important to water quality in the Twin Lakes and the Wild and Scenic Housatonic River. The project combined Highlands funding with a state grant, private support and community contributions.
The Highlands Conservation Act was reauthorized in 2022, expanding the area eligible to participate. Municipalities in areas identified by the Fish and Wildlife Service may voluntarily join with state and federal approval.
HVA helped 15 Connecticut communities join in 2024 and 2025. The latest additions bring the number of newly eligible municipalities to 20.
“The expansion of the Highlands region is ultimately about more than adding towns to the map,” said Julia Rogers, HVA’s conservation programs director. “It’s about giving communities another tool to turn local conservation priorities into action.”
