Locally grown food, plants and fresh air are some of the reasons people enjoy going to farm shops, farmers markets and garden centers. The COVID-19 pandemic has made these businesses even more popular.
All of these businesses have found it necessary to make changes to keep staff and customers safe.
“Business has been above usual this year,” said Ashley Vescera, garden center manager at Winterberry Gardens in Southington. “I want to

State restrictions, extra measures
Despite restrictions on waiting areas, chair spacing and even conversation, customers flooded back to area salons and barbershops Monday.
In order to reopen, Lamont required the closure of waiting areas, six feet between chairs, masks for both clients and hairdressers, additional sanitation and the display of a number for customers to call to report pandemic restriction violations.
Hair dressers said they’re facing a backlog of clients, particularly since many scheduled hair appointments late last month, but had to postpone after Gov. Ned Lamont reversed the plan to reopen barbershops and salons. “My book is full until July,” said Tiffany Cruz, owner of Anna V. Salon in Wallingford. “I’m working seven days a week for the next few weeks.” Sherry Bronson, owner of Trey’s Barbershop in Southington, said the shop’s four barbers are booked all week with appointments. “Everyone has been coming in this morning,” Bronson said. “Which is a great thing, we’re excited about that.”
For Trey’s Barbershop, that meant moving barber chairs to allow for more space. Bronson said she’s also using a touch-free thermometer to take customer’s temperatures at the door. “That’s just an extra precaution on our part,” Bronson said. With no waiting area, clients show up at the time of their appointment and are let in. “It’s been pretty smooth today so far,” Bronson said. See Hair cutteries, A20

FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Celebrating the Class of 2020
Front lobby decorations: Faculty and staff members created a display to honor our seniors for the front lobby windows of the school. Stop by and take a look.
Unfortunately, due to the unique circumstances and challenges we are faced with, the way we celebrate seniors will look a lot different this year but we hope the community can join in on making it extra special for the BHS Class of 2020.
Accountabilities/caps and gowns/photos : June 15-17 at BHS.

Graduation: Aug. 7. The location will be Berlin High School. The format is yet to be determined based on the state restrictions and approval of the local health department. The Governor announced that Phase 3 of the state reopening would potentially start around July 22 and may permit groups upwards of 100 people. We are hopeful that this may change, so that we can have a more traditional graduation ceremony. Yearbook signing, prom and All Night Grad Party: TBD based on restrictions that will be in place Aug. 7 9. More information will be provided throughout the end of the school year and summer, so stay tuned. The Berlin administration, Board of Education and our community have been working hard to provide the best experience for our high school seniors during this unprecedented time.

Sandra Coppola, Berlin Republican Town Committee chairwoman, said Veach had been considered for the 30th district seat well before the convention.
Joe Aresimowicz, a Democrat and house speaker, is not running for re-election this year. He narrowly held his seat two years ago against a political newcomer from Southington.
“We believe in her, we believe she’s a very strong candidate and she’ll do a good job,” Coppola said.
JoAnn Angelico-Stetson, a Berlin Town Council Democrat, is also running for the seat.
Donna Veach, a Berlin Town Council member, got five of the nine delegate votes cast at a party nominating convention in May. Jim Townsley, a Southington pastor, got four votes, but plans to primary.
Townsley said he’s been campaigning since earlier this year and contacted Berlin Republicans about whether someone from their town was running.
Berlin comprises more than half of the district. The Southington’s Republican committee gets four delegates to the district convention and Berlin’s committee gets six. One Southington delegate abstained from the vote.

Fred's Deli is Closing After twelve extraordinary years of serving Berlin and New Britain, Fred's Deli will officially close its doors permanently. This was the most difficult decision that our family had to make. Today's pandemic has caused havoc for our deli, as well as many other small businesses, who find themselves in the same predicament as to to whether to stay open or close. After considering these two options, we arrived at the conclusion that staying open in today's environment would create an extremely stressful situation. Also, not knowing when the pandemic, or this nightmarish dream would end, would the deli still be profitable. We empathize with you, our loyal customers, because we know that you too are not immune to these stressful times, whether because of a job loss or a struggle to make ends meet. Finally, our family wants to take this opportunity to thank you, our friends, for your continued support and appreciated friendship for the last twelve years.
Wishing you all good health and please stay safe. God Bless 230785

CIAC transgender policy found to violate Title IX By Pat Eaton-Robb Associated Press HARTFORD — A Connecticut policy that allows transgender athletes to compete in girls sports violates the civil rights of female athletes, the U.S. Education De-
partment’s Office for Civil Rights has ruled. The ruling, which was obtained Thursday, May 28 by The Associated Press, comes in response to a complaint filed last year by several female track athletes, who argued that two transgender
runners who were identified as male at birth had an unfair physical advantage. The office said in a 45-page letter that it may seek to withhold federal funding over the policy, which allows transgender athletes to participate as the gender with which they identify. It said
the policy is a violation of Title IX, the federal civil rights law that guarantees equal education opportunities for women, including in athletics. It has “denied female student-athletes athletic benefits and opportunities, including advancing to the fi-
nals in events, higher level competitions, awards, medals, recognition, and the possibility of greater visibility to colleges and other benefits,” according to the letter, which is dated May 15. See Transgender, A16

‘The fun we’re going to have’ “We are going to do everything in our power to make this camp experience happen and in the safest way possible,” said Meriden-New Britain-Berlin YMCA CEO John Benigni. He was speaking of the Y’s Mountain Mist Day Camp, but the same could be said for the Southington YMCA's Camp Sloper, or the two day camps run by the Boys & Girls Club of Meriden, or
many other camps in the state. In a year when so much has changed — with schools and so many businesses closed for months because of the coronavirus pandemic — children are about to get a break from being shut in at home when these day camps open. That’s a good thing — provided, of course, that all pertinent safety guidance is followed.

With these precautions in place, it seems reasonable to let the kids have some fun this summer.
This is not a perfect solution. There are no ironclad guarantees of 100 percent safety. But the guidelines being imposed — daily
Siding and Roofing • Replacement Windows ROOFING & SIDING Gutters and Decks • Additions Free Estimates Licensed & Insured Lic. #00556269
Those guidelines include: enhanced cleaning and sanitizing procedures; enhanced hand washing; counselors wearing face masks; physically separating the campers into groups of 10 or fewer; not sharing supplies and equipment between groups; and daily health screenings of campers, looking for any symptoms of illness, including temperatures of 100 or higher. If a child does show symptoms, the camp will contact the parents and the necessary authorities.
Simply put, it would have been next to impossible to achieve the level of social distancing and disinfecting of art supplies, etc., that these camps are aiming for with 25 children crowded into each classroom. Things are different in the great outdoors.

She attended New Britain public schools and the University of Connecticut, where she graduated in 1953.

She raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Crop Walk, an annual fundraiser for hunger relief, and volunteered for many years and thousands of hours at Foodshare during her retirement. Lois could always be found knitting, whether it be scarves for the Seaman’s Fund or lap blankets for those in need. Lois will be remembered as a deeply faithful woman who loved her husband, children, and grandchildren
as well as the UConn Women’s Basketball team. She was predeceased by her parents and her brother Robert and her granddaughter Alice Maddy.

Protests From A10
The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut, however, said Waterbury police and state police in Bridgeport undermined health and safety by responding to peaceful protests in riot gear and making arrests. Videos showed Waterbury police tackling peaceful protesters, said David McGuire, executive director of the ACLU of Connecticut. One of the Waterbury rally organizers, Jalia West, urged demonstrators to stay peaceful and positive, the Republican-American reported. “Get engaged and learn about the people in your
community, not the stereotypes,” she said. “Hold everyone accountable, and don’t just fire them. Put them in jail like you put us in jail.” Protesters blocked Interstate 84 in Waterbury and Interstate 95 in New Haven on Sunday. No arrests on the highways were reported. State police arrested two people Saturday in Bridgeport when a crowd blocked Route 8. A crowd of people demonstrated Sunday night at the entrance of the New Haven police department after a peaceful rally earlier in the day. Police sprayed an irritating chemical at some people as they tried to enter the building.
Early Monday morning, police said someone threw a flaming homemade device at a police substation, but no major damage and no injuries were reported. Rallies also were held in Stamford and Norwalk on Sunday. There were no reports of looting during any of the protests. Gov. Ned Lamont said Monday that he was gratified that nearly all the demonstrations in Connecticut have been peaceful. “I am with the people standing up saying ‘How can this continue?’” he said in an interview with WNPR.
Transgender From A10
The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which oversees scholastic sports in the state, has said its policy is designed to comply with the state’s law barring schools from discriminating against transgender students. The Office for Civil Rights ruling names the CIAC and school districts the transgender runners and those filing the complaint competed — Glastonbury, Bloomfield, Hartford, Cromwell, Canton, and Danbury. The office said it will “either initiate administrative proceedings to suspend, terminate, or refuse to grant or continue and defer financial assistance” to the CIAC and those districts or refer the cases to the U.S. Department of Justice.

In its letter, the Office for Civil Rights said it notified the CIAC and the school districts of its pending decision in February, but that subsequent negotiations failed to result in an agreement over the policy. The dispute, which is already the subject of a federal lawsuit, centers on two transgender sprinters, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, who have frequently outperformed their competitors, winning a combined 15 girls state indoor or outdoor championship races since 2017, according to the lawsuit. Lawyers for the transgender athletes have argued that both are undergoing hormone treatments that have put them on an equal footing with the girls they are competing against. One of the plaintiffs, Chelsea Mitchell, won two state indoor title races over Miller this year. The plantiffs sought to block the participation of Miller and Yearwood, both seniors, from spring track meets, which were later canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were also seeking to erase all records set by the transgender athletes. Connecticut is one of 18 states, along with Washington, D.C. that allows transgender high school athletes to compete without restrictions, according to Transathlete.com, which tracks state policies in high school sports across the country. Several other states have polices barring the participation of transgender athletes and Idaho recently became the first state to pass a law banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports. The American Civil Liberties Union and Legal Voice filed a federal lawsuit contending that law violates the U.S. Constitution because it is discriminatory and an invasion of privacy.

“My customers are like my family. They know I’m doing
the best I can to take care of them,” she said. “My customers tell me stuff they wouldn’t tell their therapist.” The masks do limit breathing, Cruz said, and also cut down on talk. There’s still many customers who want to update her on how they’ve been over the past few months.
The Gentlemen’s Barbershop was among the Meriden businesses visited. Jason Frasco, a barber, said their chairs were already spaced apart and the only difficult part was wearing a face shield, which made it difficult to see.
“I put a ton of money into this place and a month later had to close,” she said.
Health department visits in Meriden In Meriden, Health Department representatives visited barbershops and salons to inform them of new regulations in order to reopen. Lea Crown, health director, said some shops were opening later this week. All the shops visited were in compliance with new rules, she said.
With so many restrictions, Cruz considered whether it made sense to reopen, but needed to after the recent move to Center Street.
The shop is seeing a flood of appointments, but Frasco said he expects business to level out soon. “Everybody’s been needing something done for a few months now,” he said.

For instance, if you are on an acid reliever for your stomach this is not a medicine you want to stay on for very long. It may not be that there is too much acid in your stomach, you may have too little. Eating foods with vinegar in them or taking something that puts acid in the stomach, like HCL supplements, may correct the situation.
This is a very simple set of things to keep you healthy. At the very least take vitamin C and D to boost your immune system. The viruses won’t go away. Our job is to have a strong enough immune system to survive them.
Allowing the function of the stomach to return to normal helps you digest your food.
