Timberlin golfers tee it up in Feb. for the first time By Everett Bishop The Citizen
For the first time in its 50year history, Timberlin Golf Course opened in February. Mild winter temperatures allowed the municipal course to open from Feb. 22 to 26. According to head golf professional Marc Bayram, the course had never opened before March. Timberlin’s official opening day is slated for Saturday, March 7, with a ceremony at 10 a.m.
Dry course conditions also contributed to the early opening, Bayram noted. A report on Golf.com states that golfers from “Ohio to New York” were able to play as early as December. “We sent an email out, put it on social media that we were opening and we sold out within 24 hours,” Bayram said. “We had 144 players … I had a wait list of 10 groups that I couldn’t do anything with.” See Timberlin, A17

Annunziata leaves Police Commission, new member appointed By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen
The Town Council recently appointed Melissa Urrunaga to fill a vacancy on the Police Commission. The vote to appoint Urrunaga, a Democrat, was unani-
mous. Councilor Michael Urrunaga, her husband, abstained. The new appointee replaces Democrat Joseph Annunziata, who resigned on Jan. 17 after some 15 years on the commission.
Urrunaga’s term runs until the next municipal election in 2021. She was not available for comment. Councilor JoAnn AngelicoStetson said she was happy to nominate Urrunaga, partly to bring diversity to the
all-male Police Commission. “She’s very well qualified, she’s a social worker with the Department of Children and Families, she serves with the court as a co-liaison. She’s well versed in respect to areas of criminal
justice and she’s got extensive experience in that field,” Stetson said. Police Commission Chairperson Paul Eshoo agreed. “She knows stuff about law so that’s good. She can be an asset,” he said.

Within 30 minutes I received a call from Candi stating four Berlin officers were responsible for saving Nero and they transported him to the animal shelter.

COMMENTARY
Long-distance caregiver: A challenging assignment By Brendan Daly
of our always too-busy lives.
Caring for an aging loved one can be a very challenging responsibility, even under the best of circumstances. But, when the caring must be done long distance, you add a whole other layer of complexity and difficulty. Even an hour’s distance can increase hardship exponentially in the context
According to recent studies, approximately 5 to 7 million caregivers in the U.S. are long-distance caregivers. These people currently represent almost 15 percent of all caregivers in the U.S., and their numbers are expected to double by 2020. And, as expected, long-distance caregivers tend to have a
heavier financial and emotional burden than caregivers who are caring for loved ones who either live with them or live locally. The key to holding your own when caring for a loved one who lives far away is being intentional and thoughtful about how you approach the responsibility. You need to take steps to give yourself a
strong base of support in terms of information, people, process and your own self care.

There are a lot of moving parts to manage when you’re taking on the role of caregiver. Not only are there day-to-day and health considerations to worry about, there are also financial is-

Get prepared for coronavirus
Healing body and mind

If you are immune compromised you must act now to
prevent the coronavirus. Being immune compromised is manifested in a wide array of indications, from the foods you eat, sleep problems and digestive issues to being in a hospital or nursing home.
Massage therapy is one of the best things you can do for your total well-being. There are numerous health benefits of getting a massage.
Massage therapy is one of the most effective and natural ways to treat ailments from the physical to the emotional. It can also help with pain, stress and anxiety. Some of the benefits include relief from pain. From chronic pain to pain caused by exercise, there are various types of massage that address these issues.
Some antivirals will help to alleviate the symptoms of coronavirus but prevention is best. At the very least take Vitamin C daily, as this is not an expensive precaution to take. It is imperative that you are prepared for the coronavirus. See your Naturopathic Physician for more advice..
Massage induces muscle relaxation and increases circulation. With a program of massage most symptoms are greatly reduced. It is also a great way to relieve stress. Massage raises the body’s production and the release of endorphins – hormones that enhance immunity and a sense of well-being.

Massage also improves posture and flexibility, lowers blood pressure, and is a great technique for total body relaxation. Massage therapy acts as a supplement to the more traditional techniques such as physical therapy, reducing recovery time in those with injuries. Regular massage can flush out toxins which otherwise would be stored in the body, as well as breaking up scar tissue in areas which have been injured. Stamina, healing and energy are enhanced with regular massage. Lastly, a littleknown fact about massage is that it can help regulate blood sugar levels in those with diabetes. Shannon Seeley graduated from Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in Newington in 2010. She specializes in trigger point therapy and myo-fascial release along with deep tissue work in her whole-person healing approach.

Lamont: Conn. is ready for virus; infections expected HARTFORD — Gov. Ned Lamont on Wednesday, Feb. 26 tried to assure residents that the state is ready with a coordinated response to deal with anticipated cases of the COVID-19 virus, while acknowledging the situation is changing fast.
ologist Dr. Matthew Cartter said efforts by the U.S. to contain the virus will only slow it down, adding “it’s no good pretending it’s not going to come” and there is now a window of opportunity to prepare for possible transmission in the state.
“Like the old saying, better to prepare for the worst and hope for the best,” Cartter While there have been no in- said. “And right now, it’s fections identified so far in time to prepare.” Connecticut, State Epidemi-
Asked about the potential number of cases Connecticut could expect, Cartter said a “reasonable planning target at the present time” would be a flu season with no vaccine or anti-virus. Each year, roughly 500 people die in Connecticut from the flu. Lamont held a media briefing at the state’s Emergency Operations Center in Hartford with Cartter, the state’s hospital association CEO,
Lawyer: Win over transgender runner shouldn't affect suit HARTFORD (AP) — Lawyers for three Connecticut high school runners suing to block the participation of transgender athletes in girls sports say recent victories on the track by one of their clients should have no bearing on the lawsuit. Chelsea Mitchell, of Canton High School, beat transgender runner Terry Miller, of Bloomfield High School, in the 55-meter dash last month in both the Connecticut State Class S indoor track

In seeking to become defendants in the lawsuit, lawyers for Miller and Andraya Yeawood, another transgener athlete, point to Mitchell’s Class S victory as evidence that the plaintiffs’ argument is faulty. But in a court filing Wednesday, Feb. 26, Mitchell’s lawyers argue that her wins
“What Plaintiffs alleged — and what is true — is that due to physiological differences, female athletes cannot beat ‘comparably talented and trained’ males,” Mitchell’s attorneys wrote. “And if Chelsea beat Miller by a hair in a particular race, Miller nevertheless deprived one girl of the second-place title in that race, and pushed the third-fastest girl off the victory podium entirely.”

The Veterans Commission stated in a press release, “It is an unbelievable experience to be able to present these cards to our veterans and to let them know that their service to our country, along with their sacrifices, will never be forgotten.”
Mitchell and two other Connecticut high school runners filed a lawsuit in February seeking to block a state policy that allows high school athletes to compete based on the gender they identify with, arguing transgender girls have an unfair physical advantage.

been on this, not just today, but for weeks going forward,” said Lamont, noting that state emergency officials trained for a possible pandemic in August.
Lamont, a Democrat, said state Public Health Commissioner Renee D. ColemanMitchell was in Washington, D.C., meeting with other state health directors and federal officials about the situation and her office is taking the lead on Connecticut’s response.
Last Wednesday, Michael Spera, the Old Saybrook Police Chief and president of the Connecticut Emergency Management Association, raised concerns in a letter to Lamont about a lack of protective equipment for emergency responders.
He said his administration was working with the state’s congressional delegation on securing needed federal funds. Based on past grant allotments, Connecticut officials expect to receive about 1% of what the federal government ultimately dedicates to the virus. “This is not a call to make you nervous. It’s a call to give you confidence that we’re ready for what’s going forward here. Give you confidence that we’ve got the best people here in the state of Connecticut who have
Asked about the letter at the news conference, Lamont said “there’s a scramble” across the country for supplies such as face masks, but that the state’s hospitals have a supply and are currently working to secure additional protective equipment. Lamont urged the public to stay informed by checking the state’s website for continuous updates, including infectious disease planning information for schools and ways members of the public can protect themselves.

you are able to have all the information you need more or less at your fingertips. Here is a starter list of some information and documents you may want to look into: Gather as much information as you can on your loved one’s medical history, health, and medications. For your own convenience, make sure you have permission for online access (when available) to medical records and appointment schedules, etc. Do some research into any specific medical conditions your loved one may have. This will help you know what to expect, what to look for, and also help you empathize with their experience.

If you have children and/or pets, have a plan in place to provide them with care in case you need to be away. Being organized always helps us to perform better, in all areas of our lives. And since caring for a loved one long distance presents so many challenges – upping our organization game is a great idea. Brendan Daly is a principal and attorney at the law firm Czepiga Daly Pope & Perri, located in Berlin at 15 Massirio Drive. His firm provides estate planning, elder law, probate, litigation and special needs planning services.
