Painted rocks give neighbors Camps will open in isolation a reason to roam with new guidelines By Jessica Simms Special to the Record-Journal
The magic of summer camp can still be a part of children’s lives this year as many day camps will open, though with strict guidelines for staff and campers.
One morning while out walking her dog, Beckley Farms resident Linda Colomonico noticed a small rock with a frog painted on it in one of the neighborhood’s green spaces. Before long, rocks began popping up in public spaces and on lawns across Beckley Farms, a 55 and older community. “All these rocks are painted with pictures of frogs, lizards, butterflies, hedgehogs, etcetera” said Colomonico. “I received a rock with a black puppy on it since I have a large poodle.”
Beckley Farms resident Patricia Manoni placed painted rocks around her neighborhood over the past few weeks in order to spread some goodwill to neighbors. Rocks include pictures of frogs, flowers, birds, and more. Photos by Everett Bishop, The Citizen

From there it just morphed.”
Residents began contacting Manoni to request rocks. She received so many requests she enlisted the help See Rocks, A11
“Summer camp is summer camp. It may look different but the fun that we’re going to have,” said Carolyn Daniels, camp director of Mountain Mist Day Camp, which is run by the Meriden-New Britain-Berlin YMCA. “The laughter that we’re going to have. The experiences, the friendships.”

Party affiliation is not as important as implementing great ideas. Veach is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, equal rights for all citizens under the law, and opposes tolls in Connecticut.

Councilor touts experience in run for house seat By Everett Bishop The Citizen
Berlin town councilor JoAnn Angelico-Stetson is looking to represent Connecticut’s 30th district at the state capitol. Along with serving two terms on Berlin’s Town Council, the Democratic hopeful also has served on Berlin’s Economic Development Commission and Board of Education, and as a representative of the Democratic State Central Committee.
“I bring a solid and comprehensive understanding of how governmental organizations work on a local and state level,” Stetson said in an email. “I intend to use my experience as a public servant, and strong humanistic beliefs, to make impactful legislation on behalf of the citizens of Berlin, Southington and the State of Connecticut.”
“I became involved in the political process for simple reasons. I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to contribute to my community. I wanted to give a voice to those who felt they had none,” she said. “What better way to do so than to initiate dialogues, hear ideas and implement progressive policies that improve our quality of life?”
Stetson said her passion for politics began in high school when she earned a leadership role in student government.
Some of these progressive policies are aimed at alleviating the effects of COVID19 in a post-pandemic world. This includes creating more accessible and affordable options for healthcare, restoring and creating jobs and increasing support for students, administrators and educators.

Local nonprofits are facing fundraising challenges By Bailey Wright Record-Journal staff
Local nonprofits are looking into alternative fundraising after pandemic restrictions forced them to cancel most annual events. Last week After the Storm, Inc. announced the 12th annual Art Bra event, scheduled for Aug. 6 at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, was canceled. “We erred on the side of caution and looked at all aspects involved. We’re still looking for ways to help survivors,” founder Christine Willett said.
immuno-compromised, most wouldn’t have been able to attend the event, Willett said. “It’s not fair to hold an event that (survivors) probably won’t be able to go to,” she said. Nonprofits also have to take into account that the businesses and individuals who normally donate may not be financially able to any time soon. Willett said organizers are looking into other, probably virtual, events to stay engaged. The efforts will be announced on the After the Storm Facebook page.
Over the past decade, the People can donate on the event has raised more than After the Storm, Inc. website, $350,000 for local hospitals Willett said. to provide integrative medicine for cancer survivors, since therapies like yoga, Reiki and massage are not usually covered by insurTREE SERVICE ance.

At the Boys & Girls Club, art supplies will be provided to each individual camper.
“As far as art supplies, things like pencils, crayons, magic markers, things like that that the kids use on a daily basis, we’re actually going to buy each individual kid their own set that they’ll keep in a larger bookcase,” Graham said. “That way, they’re the only ones that are physically touching it and then we will disinfect the case to ensure that no germs are being transferred.”
Daily temperature checks will also take place at these camps to ensure any potential COVID-19 symptoms are caught early on. Both Mountain Mist and the two camps at the Boys & Girls Club will have a designated
spot for campers with COVID-like symptoms. “That’s where they’ll go and obviously we will contact the parents and the necessary authorities,” Benigni said.

“We have more people walking now than ever before, it’s incredible,” said Armet. “I’ve been here almost five years now and there are people who have lived here longer than I have that I never saw until the last few weeks.” With people confined to their houses for the past few months, Armet says that Manoni’s project has given the entire neighborhood a much needed morale boost. ebishop@record-journal.com 203-317-2444 Twitter: @everett_bishop

The largest effort was at Volunteer Park where the group weeded and put in place a large number of plants provided by the town.
Please drive safe, be patient, and avoid distractions when you get behind the wheel. While the number of thefts from motor vehicles and stolen cars has decreased slightly, we ask you to remain alert and call us to report suspicious persons or vehicles. Lock your car doors and don’t leave valuables inside!

Moran said the duck race isn’t the only club fundraiser affected by the pandemic. A few of their smaller ones — a Palm Sunday brunch and a pasta dinner — were canceled and now they’re facing the prospect of canceling the biggest one of the year, the annual golf tournament in September. Moran said the tournament usually brings in more than $100,000.
“That’s gonna be a big hit … it’s a lot of money,” he said.

“This means you can still participate in PurpleStride, but as a virtual participant, doing something meaningful and personal to you in honor of the people you love,” the organizers said in a statement.
The national organization held a country-wide virtual walk at the end of April, but local organizers are now planning a 12-hour event on Sept. 19 that they say is tentative. Meriden’s annual PurpleStride for pancreatic cancer is still scheduled for June 20, but will be a virtual event.
According to their website, the virtual walk has raised about $21,000 so far this year, with a goal of $150,000. Last year the walk raised $167,000.
