CIAC UPDATE
‘Game on’ for most By Bryant Carpenter Record-Journal staff
CHESHIRE — A Connecticut high school winter sports season is officially a go. 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 midNovember. Games can start as early as Feb. 8. That’s a one-week delay on the projected start of Feb. 1. The postseason, slated for March 15-28, will be staged by individual conferences. It replaces the traditional state tournaments the CIAC had hoped to run March 8-21. See CIAC, A18

Health district cuts fees for restaurants and salons By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
to $60,000 for area businesses and a similar hit to the district’s budget.
Health board members hope a cut to annual licensing fees this year will help struggling restaurants, salons and barbershops.
“While most (businesses’) savings are going to be in the neighborhood of $50 to $200, it might be a little bit of breathing room for one of these places,” Lockwood said.
The Plainville-Southington Regional Health District licenses about 600 businesses, overseeing food safety and personal care hygiene. Middlefield also falls under the umbrella of the PlainvilleSouthington Regional Health District. Shane Lockwood, district director, suggested cutting the annual fees for those businesses in half for this year. That will mean a total savings of $50,000
“It’s going to be a loss, obviously, to the health district but we’re going to make it up through delaying filling a position, hitting our reserves or cutting costs this year. We thought it was that important to try to help the businesses every way we can.” Licenses range from $50 to $200.
The inaugural group of Plainville Community Schools’ Portrait Pioneers award winners were recognized Czerwinski at the Jan. 11 Board of Education meeting. Lily Cornielle, John Czerwinski and Morgan Cornielle Campbell are the first recipients of this award, which was established to recognize school district staff members Campbell who exemplify and model the characteristics of the district’s Portrait of the Graduate. This framework includes being: Mindful, Resilient, Communicative, Innovative and Collaborative.

Movie theaters permitted to reopen concession stands By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
“You have seen a stabilization certainly of our hospitalizations over the past month and a half,” he said. “Secondly we’ve looked at many other states ... and I think Connecticut was unique in this restriction, so I want to make sure we’re mindful of the limitations we’re putting on businesses.”
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.

“We’ve got to get people back in theaters at full capacity at some point. 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 inWith parties separated by terview. “If we saw an end in seats marked off for social sight to the pandemic, we distancing, ventilation systems cycling fresh air into might have a different stratetheaters and employees dedi- gy.

David Lehman, commissioner of the state Department of Economic and Community Development, said the change was made because of more stable rates of COVID19 hospitalizations and to bring Connecticut in line with neighboring states, which allow concession sales.

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.

Movie goers will again be able to enjoy popcorn with their films following a tweak of the pandemic restrictions to allow theaters to reopen concession stands.
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 permitted to sell food since many had separate dining areas.

Ned Lamont said he has accepted recommendations from Connecticut’s vaccine advisory group to 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. 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.

These documents help you ensure that family, friends and providers carry out your wishes. Under the umbrella of estate planning and administration, seniors will want advice and counsel on: • The preparation of documents such as wills, trusts, and durable powers of attorney. • Real estate titling, sale, conveyance or gifting. • Advance planning in order to qualify for future Medicaid benefits. • The financial and tax implications of any of these proposed actions, as well as real estate, gift and estate taxes (Connecticut and federal). Planning for incapacity is not fun, but facing it is wise. Consider the appointment of: • An attorney-in-fact. • A Health Care Representative • A conservator for you and/or your property. • A representative payee for your Social Security benefits. Many of these roles are similar, but there are important differences regarding who has control of what and under what circumstances. For example, power of attorney allows someone to act on your behalf. But if that power of attorney is durable, it remains in effect even if you become incapacitated and are unable to make decisions for yourself. You will probably want to look into how capacity is determined and what level of capacity is required for various legal activities where you live or own property. You may be the subject of conservatorship proceedings or other protective arrangements — who should represent you? You will want a plan to allocate responsibility to someone you trust.
Long-term care insurance may be something you will want to explore. It is prudent to understand your rights as a patient or resident of hospitals, nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and continuing care retirement communities. Key considerations include admission, transfer and discharge policies, and quality of care.

Fees From A1
Sherry Bronson, of Trey’s Barbershop at 101 Center St. in Southington was glad to hear about the discounted fees. She and her brother, who co-own the shop, pay an annual license cost of $100. “It’s great news to me,” she said. “Hey, $50 is $50. I’ll take it.” Trey’s was closed for three months at the beginning of the pandemic, which was difficult, according to Bronson. Now that they’re allowed to reopen per state rules, customers have been coming in steadily.

The initiative provides agencies with resources aimed at strengthening organizational functioning. For the first half of 2021, the initiative will be comprised of three main components. The 2021 Executive Directors’ Forum will focus on
creating a space where executive directors can learn, guide, and support one another though nine monthly sessions. Each session will take place virtually for 1.5 hours, February to June and September to November. Next, the CFGNB will provide scholarships of up to $250 for 20 local non-profit organizations based in New Britain, Berlin, Plainville or Southington who plan to participate in grant writing training, a need identified by Executive Directors through a survey and follow up
meeting in the fall of 2020. Finally, the foundation will again offer COVID-19 minigrants of up to $2,000 to help organizations that provide a significant amount of services in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville, and Southington to make modifications, purchases, changes, or improvements that support operations or program delivery because of the pandemic.

The CIAC is confident it will be able to pull off a modified season in the winter just as it did in the fall. “If we weren’t confident we can get it done, we wouldn’t be moving forward with it,” Lungarini said. “Not only are we confident that we can get it done, but the guidance from DPH shows confidence that we can get it done. “The support of the Sports Medicine Committee shows confidence that we can get it done,” the executive director continued. “And the flexibility that we provide allows districts to move forward at a pace that is appropriate for them and meets the needs of the individual districts.”

ruptions in the schedule through the winter season. 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 6-8 teams.
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 season, the CIAC will pay close attention to where school-related infections are happening and in what groups.
Some thought had been given to moving football and wrestling to spring, but that encountered roadblocks. For one, the National Federation of State High School Associations recently issued new guidance on spring football. If states play football this spring, the NFHS ruled, it will reduce the number of games they can play in the
fall due to concussion and contact concerns. Athletes would also have to choose between sports. A 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, es-
