Chamber awards recognize local women By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff

The Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce’s annual Women’s Achievement Awards ceremony will recognize the accomplishments of seven women who have improved the North Haven and Wallingford communities.

“We want to recognize outstanding achievers so others can look to them as examples that they can achieve the same,” said Gary Ciarleglio, the chamber’s senior director of sales and marketing. “And it’s important for us to connect the community with these leaders.” A virtual awards ceremony is sched-

uled for Jan. 28 at noon and will feature guest speaker Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, as well as remarks from each of the seven recipients. Each of the winners will receive an engraved trophy from the chamber. Nanette Pastore, president of Pearce Real Estate, was named the woman of the year by the chamber. Mem-

While games will start a week later than expected and there will be no state tournaments and some teams won’t compete at all, last week a modified winter season was approved by the CIAC Board of Control for basketball, ice hockey, gymnastics and boys swimming. The board determined that practices could start Tuesday, Jan. 19. That’s the start date the CIAC had been eyeing since suspending the winter season in mid-November.

Games can start as early as Feb. 8. That’s a one-week delay on the projected start of Feb. 1.

Under the phase 2.1 reopening guidelines put into place in November, movie theaters were specifically prohibited from resuming food sales, while bowling alleys and other indoor recreation businesses were per-

Daniel Vice, operations manager for Picture Show Entertainment, said they’re excited for the change and were already at work getting the concessions stand at their Berlin theater up and running within hours of the decision. The company operates 12 theaters across the country.

Cullen said she was honored to be one of the recipients and is excited to be part of a ceremony showing women working in different roles, taking opportunities and setting examples.

Concessions are also important to the bottom line and will allow theaters to bring back more employees. Due to lackluster ticket sales for major releases, Warner Bros. Pictures announced in December that all of the studios’ 2021 movies would be available in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously, according to the Associated Press.

If you read the medical experts that’s going to take a while to work its way through the system,” Ann Sarnoff, chief executive of WarnerMedia Studios, told the AP in an interview. “If we saw an end in sight to the pandemic, we might have a different strategy. But we don’t see that at this moment.”

There is a casualty in the new dateline for winter, and that’s football. The alternative season that had been set up when the CIAC canceled football in the fall, expected to run Feb. 22 through midApril, has been eliminated.

Wrestling, already postponed for winter, was holding out hope for the alternative season. Instead, at this point, like football, it will miss out on the 2020-2021 school year entirely.

to quarantine,” Lungarini said. “We are still playing in a pandemic, so we have to anticipate there will be disruptions in the schedule through the winter season. “We don’t want state tournaments to be a limiting factor in kids being able to play games,” he added. “We want to maximize their opportunity to play.” When it comes to the postseason, the CIAC is allowing leagues to expand what they did in the fall. Playoffs in that season were limited to divisions within the conferences. Full league tournaments will be allowed in the winter. The regular-season picture, though, will remain the same. As in the fall, for the sake of limiting travel and exposure, teams will play strictly within divisions of 68 teams. The CIAC recommends spectators not be allowed into events, though it is up to individual districts to set their own policies. As the winter season unfolds, the CIAC will stay focused on COVID-19 case numbers in the state. Data collection on the virus has improved since the fall, Lungarini said, and while there aren’t specific benchmarks that will make or break the winter season, the CIAC will pay close attention to where school-related infections are happening and in what groups. Looking beyond the winter, the CIAC remains committed to staging a full spring campaign, complete with state tournaments, given that the entire season was cancelled in 2020. Some thought had been given to moving football and wrestling to spring, but that encountered roadblocks.

CIAC survery showed 38 percent of Connecticut high school football players and 31 percent of wrestlers also play a spring sport. That overlap could put teams in a pinch, Lungarini noted, especially at smaller schools. The CIAC does not allow athletes to play more than one sport in the same season.

With the alternative season going by the boards, football and wrestling have run out of options.

COVID-19 VACCINATIONS

People 75 and older invited to sign up By Jenna Carlesso © The Connecticut Mirror

expand Phase 1B of the rollout to include about 715,000 more people – those ages 65 to 74 and those 16 to 64 with co-morbidities such as cancer or chronic kidney disease.

Seniors age 75 and older can now sign up to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. The state launched its centralized website for vaccine information Thursday, Jan. 14, with links to two health systems – UConn Health and Hartford HealthCare – that currently are scheduling appointments for people in that age group. Patients can sign up through their MyCharts account (those without an account can create one). Residents don’t need to have a relationship with the health systems to sign up. Due to limited supplies of the vaccine, the state warned, it is expected to take weeks to provide a shot to everyone in that age group.

Exceptional Service & Respect at a Difficult Time

HARTFORD (AP) — Banners supporting President Donald Trump were nowhere to be seen Sunday as hundreds of National Guard members and police officers guarded the state Capitol and a handful of counter protesters waited for a rally that never materialized. “I don’t believe that you can over-prepare for this type of situation,” Foley said Sunday at the Legislative Office Building. “I’d much rather be here next Friday telling you guys that we over-prepared, as opposed to saying that we under-prepared.” Connecticut State Police

sent out messages last week saying they were ready for any planned protests after the FBI warned there could be demonstrations at each of the country’s state capitols. Foley said heightened security would continue through Inauguration Day on Wednesday.

A North Haven tradition in family dining, situated right on RTE 5 this 24 hr diner favorite has been delighting its hungry customers for over 30 years... whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, pie a la mode and coffee or just a late night munchie – the long time family run staff at this clean and tidy restaurant is happy to host you with a smile again and again – easily one of CT’s top diners!

Brian Foley, assistant to the commissioner of Connecticut’s Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, told reporters that high visibility security features like steel barricades and tactical vehicles may have helped discourage violent protests that had been feared.

That’s in addition to another 652,000 people already approved for Phase 1B that live and work in congregate settings such as prisons and homeless shelters, “essential workers” like grocery store employees and teachers, and those 75 and older.

“The Connecticut Department of Public Health has worked diligently with our health care partners across the state to increase access to the vaccine, but I must continue to urge patience at this point in time,” Lamont said.

We’re Here For You. We Are Stronger Together and We Will Get Through This Together.

Recreation teams can return to action Helping Local Businesses Persevere Youth and adult recreational sports, on pause since midNovember, are back. At least most of them are. While activities considered to be high risk for the spread of COVID-19 continue to be sidelined, the rest were allowed to resume this week. That announcement, made by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development last Friday, dovetails with the green light the CIAC got from the state to start the high school winter season. Recreation teams were allowed to practice Jan. 19 and can resume contests Feb. 1. Like high school athletes, rec. athletes must wear masks. The rule applies indoors and outdoors, except in cases where participants aren’t expected to come in close contact, such as tennis and running. Coaches and spectators must also wear masks. On top of that, their numbers are limited: Coaches to only the “necessary” number needed to stage practices

and competitions; Spectators to one parent or guardian per athlete, and even then only in facilities that can ensure six feet of social distancing. Spectators cannot attend any club or recreational event involving athletes ages 21 and older. Gyms, group fitness classes, dance and yoga studios can operate, but only at 50 percent capacity. Masks are required. Pools are also a go with restrictions. There can be only one person in a given lane at a time, and lanes must be at least six feet wide. Advance registration for lap swimming is encouraged. Pool deck observers are discouraged. If parent/guardians are necessary, only one per swimmer is allowed. They must wear a mask and remain at least six feet apart. Swim aerobic participants should maintain distance of 12 feet throughout class or utilize every other lane. Swim lessons may allow an instructor and student in one lane, with all pairs

Is there rot developing in that tree?

Oak trees begin to fail in a different pattern. They may appear to be fine, but deep inside the trunk, types of rot may develop and gradually decay the wood, until there is insufficient wood to support the tree against strong winds.

So how do you know if that beautiful black oak tree is rotting inside? Walt Brockett, licensed arborist, and a member of the Daytime Gardeners of North Haven, uses a method of coring to sample the interior wood to aid in determining its health. With permission from Mike Maturo, head of the Public Works Department of North Haven, and North Haven Cemetery Commissioner Lynn Frederickson, Walt is starting to do some core sampling to identify if there are more trees that may be weakening and in danger of falling during a future storm. Property damage, such as broken cemetery monuments and fences, can be prevented when trees that are failing can be identified before falling,

The drilling is done in a series of steps so Walt can examine the material at each step. Measurements are taken so he knows how deep into the tree his drill has gone. These measurements and samples will show the thickness of the good wood

in the trunk. Decisions about the health of the tree and risk of falling can then be based upon scientific measurements rather than just looking at the tree and trying to guess if it is still healthy. The attached photos show sampling on a black oak in the Elm Street Cemetery. The diameter of the trunk is 46 inches and it appears to be healthy and strong. But there was another similar tree nearby before the tropical storm that blew down onto the Brockett family

monument, causing damage. Monitoring the health of the two neighboring oaks will help identify if either need to be removed. Core sampling also is planned for more trees on the Town Green. Text and photos submitted by Sally Brockett.

The problem occurred during the tropical storm and tornado that hit North Haven properties in the summer of 2020. When the fallen oak trees in the Elm Street cemetery and on the Town Green were examined after the storms, it was apparent that the trunks of these trees were hollow, like straws. When the interior rot was visible, it was not surprising that storm winds brought the trees down.

Walt uses special bits on his power drill to drill a small hole into the tree trunk and remove core samples. This task should be done in the winter so the tree can heal over the little hole and avoid insect and disease damage that may occur in warm weather.

Large, old trees may appear to be strong and healthy, but hidden decay can undermine their strength and stability. Generally, maple trees decay from the top down and it becomes apparent that age is taking a toll on the health of the tree. Branches may fall from the canopy, and bark may begin to loosen and fall. The maple tree may begin to show fall color in the leaves well before healthier trees due to stress.
