DERBY—State Rep. Themis Klarides on Friday said she stands behind the senior center’s decision to boycott Foxwoods Casino Resort after reading published comments from the casino’s chief executive that seniors in this community consider offensive. Klarides on Friday fired off a letter to Foxwoods head Scott Butera, urging him to apologize to seniors throughout Derby as well as Connecticut and Massachusetts for comments attributed to him in a recent Boston Globe report. A Globe journalist said Butera offered frank comments about the casino’s senior customers, saying, “stereotypical busloads of senior citizens who show up with walkers and oxygen tanks” as well as “damned elders who don’t gamble away enough of their money to help Foxwoods reach its goal, which at this point is basic survival.” For his part, Butera has said his comments were taken out of context. “The tone and spirit of Mr. Butera’s comments were both insensitive and insulting whether they were taken out of context or not,” said Klarides, who represents the 114th General Assembly District covering Derby, Orange and Woodbridge. “The folks at Foxwoods should remember that the patronage of senior citizens played a significant role in their success.”

The Bethany Board of Education has begun the search for the next Superintendent of Schools. The Board has selected CABE Search Services, an educational executive recruitment firm, and Dr. Jacqueline Jacoby, Senior Search Consultant from CABE to facilitate and assist with this important undertaking. CABE Search Services has been integral to the successful completion of superintendent searches throughout Connecticut. The first step in the process is to schedule focus groups and forums to seek input from school and community members. The Bethany Board sees communication and community participation as essential components of a comprehensive search. Board Chairman Brian Fournier added, “Our Board is committed to including the community in this process and is currently seeking input related to the characteristics and leadership qualities desired in the next educational leader. Mr. Timothy Connellan will be leaving this summer. He has served our community well and we wish to build on the strengths in place as we seek our next leader.” Focus Groups are being scheduled during the summer with faculty, administrators, support staff, parents, students and other community members to ensure that we hear from a broad range of constituents and find areas of common ground. “We encourage community members to participate in the superintendent search process by sharing their personal insights about our school and suggesting qualities they would like to see in the next superintendent,” said Brian Fournier Chairman of the Bethany Board of Education. The first of the focus groups will be held on Wednesday, July 18 and others will be scheduled and listed on the district website as well as information circulated throughout the community. Anyone who is unable to attend a focus group can complete a Superintendent Search Survey. These forms are available online at the district’s website: www.bethany-ed.org. Completed forms must be submitted on or before July 31.
