CHESHIRE — The calendar has flipped to August and dates are flashing along the Connecticut high school sports horizon like so many lighthouses.
That said, the CIAC remains on course to start the fall season on time and, with safety protocols again in place, to run it in full, complete with state championships.
August 12-14 for football team activites. Aug. 21 for the start of football practice. Aug. 26 for the other fall sports. Also flashing: the increase in COVID-19 cases due to the Delta variant. Connecticut’s positivity rate has risen to over 2 percent and all of the state’s eight counties, as of Tuesday, are considered to have “substantial” community spread. Gov.

Education leaders throughout the area are preparing to resume in-person learning for all students this fall. But the new academic year does not mean returning to a full normal in school buildings just yet.
The CIAC was not caught by surprise by the changing COVID metrics. Nor, with the lessons learned from 2020-21, does it feel unprepared. “We have anticipated that we would be managing some elements of COVID at least through another year, but we feel we have a lot more information, a lot more data this year from the sports that we were able to play last year, and that we can safely compete,” CIAC See CIAC, A6
Students, staff members and visitors to area schools likely will be required to continue wearing masks. COVID-19 vaccination rates, though relatively strong in Connecticut, have slowed and are especially lagging nationwide. A vaccine has yet to be approved for inoculating The 2021 school year ended with local students and staff children younger than 12 wearing masks, and it appears that’s how they will return years old. to the halls this fall.

gious Delta variant of the novel coronavirus has emerged in Connecticut. As conditions continue to evolve, state and local school and health leaders maintained they are committed to providing 100% in-person learning when September arrives. Officials cited the need to provide students with continuous in-person learning and the ability to interact with their peers and teachers in a safe environment. State officials’ goals include a full return as well, according to revised state Department of Education recommendations issued on July 25. Other state-issued guidance calls for a limited use of remote learning — when unvaccinated students must be quarantined due to exposure to COVID-19, for example. Max Reiss, spokesman for Gov. Ned Lamont, said in a written statement that state officials are reviewing the latest CDC guidance and will have “additional updates in
the coming days.”
Full in-person learning, with masks Those updates would come with a growing number of counties statewide having neared the threshold for universal mask-wearing indoors that had been set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Friday, July 30 the state Department of Public Health recommended indoor mask wearing across six counties statewide. Interim state recommendations issued on July 25 call for the return of all in-person learning, which Reiss said, “is a priority for the Lamont administration.” In March 2020, when school buildings were shut down in an effort to limit the coronavirus’ spread, educators and students had to quickly adjust to what was then a new remote learning model.
Last fall saw the majority of students and teachers return to classrooms, albeit with safety measures in place, including mask wearing, distancing and frequent cleaning of surfaces enforced.
Avoiding disruption, maintaining safety Last month, national news outlets reported the CDC had issued updated recommendations that would reinstate universal mask wearing in schools, vaccine status notwithstanding.

Reiss, Lamont’s spokesman, said, “The best action all of our students over the age of 12 and educators could do to support a safe return to school is to receive one of the COVID-19 vaccines.” He explained both the state Department of Public Health and Department of Education are coordinating with local districts and health providers to offer schoolbased vaccine clinics in all districts.

Residents urged to remove bird feeders to control contagion Connecticut Audubon Society Director Patrick Comins likened those locations to shopping malls that were shut at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. “I know that state and federal officials are quite concerned about this, so we’re passing along the guidance ... that people should take down bird feeders and bird baths,” he said.
Residents are being urged to take down bird feeders and report sightings of sick or dead songbirds as a mysterious illness continues to afflict birds throughout the country.
Briefs From A3
The recommendation to take down bird feeders is out of a concern that the illness could be contagious and birds congregating at feeders and bird baths could act as places where it spreads.

Symptoms that have been reported in cases outside the state include swelling and discharge around the eyes and neurological symptoms such as head tremors, difficulty or inability to stand, and excessive vocalization.

“While cases seem to be dropping in some states, we have not observed a similar trend in Connecticut,” the Wildlife Division update stated. “The DEEP Wildlife Division has received hundreds of reports of dead birds during July, most of which were not suitable for analysis. Three birds exhibiting symptoms consistent with the regional illness have been submitted to the Connecticut Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory at UConn for testing. All three tested negative for avian Influenza, and other analyses are still pending. Preliminary results suggest that these cases match what has been reported in the mid-Atlantic and Mid-
west regions.”
Suspected cases should be reported to DEEP, which has been collecting specimens for pathological testing at UConn.

The CIAC is also recommending student-athletes get vaccinated. It isn’t a mandate. It is a strong recommendation being made in conjunction with the state Department of Public Health.
Last year, in all three seasons, several area teams were sidelined en masse by contact tracing. “I feel the best way our kids can experience a full season and we could limit the number of quarantines and have successful postseason tournaments would be for those who are eligible to get vaccinated to do so,” said Lungarini. “But, again, we’re not making that a mandate. We’re simply joining DPH and encouraging that at this time.” The CIAC Board of Control meets on Aug. 26. The CIAC, though, will likely issue its fall protocols sooner than that. There’s a balance to be struck, as far as timing goes. The CIAC wants to get information out before the preseason kicks in, yet not so fast as to be ahead of the latest COVID data or any new directives from the state.
The CDC is recommending students and staff, whether vaccinated or not, wear “We haven’t had any discus- masks in school. Lamont has said he’ll soon be making sions about mandating vaccines; we do understand that the call for Connecticut. Until then, his previous order choosing to get the vaccine requiring masks in schools is a personal choice,” Lungarini remarked. “That being remains in effect till September 30. said, both our medical professionals that we consult In the meantime, with prewith and the medical experts season approaching at a at DPH feel this is the best time when COVID is flaring, way that we can protect our Lungarini takes comfort in a kids and our communities: successful CIAC spring for those who are eligible to sports season that’s been get vaccinated to do so.” followed by a good summer.

“While we’re just seeing a bit of a spike in the Delta variant now, we haven’t heard of any outbreaks among sports teams over the summer, and a lot of those summer programs do travel throughout the country,” the CIAC executive director noted. “I think we’ve learned a lot. We’ve learned how to do things safely. “At the same time, we need to be cautious and we need to be purposeful in the mitigation of COVID to help keep our kids safe. I think we can do this in a safe manner.”

Agencies stress aid is available to renters connected with services that fit their needs. The largest pool of aid comes from the state's UniteCT program, which has over $235 million in federal funding allocated towards helping tenants pay rent and utility bills. If both a landlord and tenant sign up for the program, it can provide up to $15,000 in aid. The online application can be found at https ://portal.ct.gov/DOH/DOH/Programs/UniteCT, as well as a map of centers set up throughout the state to help those with limited internet access get signed up. Applications have been steadily rising since the program was unveiled in early April; over 3,000 applications were approved in July, up from 200 in April, according to state statistics. The Connecticut Mirror reported that around a fifth of the 26,773 tenants who have applied for aid have received funding, for an average around $7,900 in rent and utility aid per applicant. Less than $46 million of the more than $235 million allocated for the program has
been dispersed, nearly half of which was paid out in July.
Local organizations also providing aid Meriden City Councilor Sonya Jelks said elected officials and City Hall staff are working to create a campaign to inform residents in danger of eviction what resources are available to them from local organizations like the Women and Family Centers and UniteCT. The city will also investigate the creation of additional resources over the coming weeks.
Mellon, Southington’s community services director, said state programs have reduced usage of their financial assistance programs, however she anticipates a spike in applications over the next few weeks as tenants attempt to avoid evictions. “We’re expecting to see the need happen now,” she said.
The organization will be helping Southington residents fill out applications for UniteCT and making up some of the difference if the aid it provides is not enough. Their rent assistance program has historically helped residents out when large unexpected expenses suddenly come up — like health Strategic Communications emergencies or loss of emSpecialist Belen Michelis ployment — which would said one of the resources have made it difficult for they’ll be highlighting is a them to make much of an tool created by the Conimpact on the thousands of sumer Financial Protection dollars in back rent many Bureau to help residents find tenants owe without the fedlocal providers by searching eral aid covering much of for their state, which can be that need. found at consumerfiThe federal funding has taknance.gov/renthelp. en the strain off the nonLocal non-profits are also profits that the United Way seeking to highlight their has been working with for own rent, utility and food as- years to provide rental assissistance programs. Janet tance, but Reilly worries that a shortage of affordable housing may make it especially difficult for those who are ultimately evicted to regain their footing.

"UniteCT is there to offset a lot of this. As that really unfolds and people are (able to) access those funds I think it will alleviate, but from what I hear there is not a lot of housing available in our area," Reilly said. As of July 29, there were 1,843 housing summary cases pending in the state — the type of court action that property owners can take to have tenants removed for not paying rent — according to Melissa Farley, director for the state Judicial Branch's external affairs division. R236843v1
As tenants who fell behind on rent during the pandemic struggle to catch up and avoid eviction, non-profits and local governments are promoting their rental and utilities services with greater urgency to those facing housing security.
"Definitely I've seen an increase in the last couple of weeks again. Kind of a big spike in calls about housing and need for housing. People are behind," said Diana Reilly, associate director of the United Way of Meriden and Wallingford. Those having difficulty paying rent or utilities can call the nonprofit's 211 hotline to be
