Hope remains for spring season By Bryant Carpenter Record-Journal staff

CHESHIRE — Spring hope remains.

Local nursing homes continue to be impacted by virus By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff

Whether it fades or proves eternal will be seen in the weeks to come. For now, the CIAC is keeping open the possibility that there will be some kind of 2020 spring season for Connecticut’s high school athletes.

According to a new list compiled by the state, 3,423 COVID-19 cases have been identified in nursing homes across Connecticut, with 568 deaths. Another 200 deaths have been deemed COVID-possible.

The CIAC reiterated its position after a Board of Control meeting Thursday morning, April 23. It’s a continuation of the “wait-and-see” approach the organization has taken since Gov. Ned Lamont closed Connecticut schools in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

other three recent deaths in the facility were deemed probable, according to state reports. At another facility, the Curtis Home, eight cases were reported, including one death. Silver Springs Care Center had reported five cases, with no deaths linked to the disease.

At Regency House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center In Meriden, Apple Rehab Coccomo had 16 cases and in Wallingford, 19 cases of two confirmed deaths. An-

For that matter, there would also be no body of regularseason work to set up those tournaments.

Community health centers awarded federal stimulus funds

“We had to make a very quick shift to telehealth,” said CHC spokeswoman Leslie Gianelli “This will be helping to support that.”

Funding came from the coronavirus stimulus package or CARES Act, which provided $100 million to 1,381 health centers across the U.S. and an additional $1.32 billion in supplemental funding. Other agencies in Danbury, Plainville, Torrington and Waterbury, New Haven and Bridgeport among other cities and towns also received monies. “Community health centers

“This is to keep our patients safe,” Gianelli said. “We are still seeing patients and accepting new ones.” The Community Health Care Centers are federal primary care providers that receive support from the state Department of Social Services that provides incentive grants to keep patients out of hospital emergency rooms, said Community Relations spokesman Michael Rohde, who is also a Meriden City Councilor.

About 95 percent of all inpatient services are conducted at the center through telephone or video appointments, Gianelli said. There are several front-line providers on hand to treat sick patients, and COVID-19 tests are being administered for those already enrolled as patients. The Community Health Center has tested 1,750 patients within its 16-center network.

The Community Health Center of Meriden is the single health-care provider for about 15,000 people in the city who are uninsured, under insured, or low-income.

Domino's of Plainville owner Shovon Issa recently donated pizzas to the Plainville Community Schools’ Facilities Department and Food Services Department to support workers’ efforts during the shutdown. Facilities and food service employees have continued to work during the pandemic, supporting the breakfast/lunch "to go " program and maintaining the buildings.

“There was no feasibility, from our perspective, to holding statewide events,” said Joel Cookson, the CIAC’s Director of Media & Sports Information. “This allows, if there is competition and it’s deemed safe, teams to play some of their local rivals and to get in those experiences in the time frame that ends up being allowed.” In keeping the spring sports window open, Connecticut is in the minority nationwide — ironic given that the CIAC was among the first to pull the plug on the winter postseason as the severity of the pandemic became ap-

Nursing homes From A1

COVID-19 had been identified. The deaths of two residents have been linked to COVID-19. At Quinnipiac Valley Center, 23 cases were identified, with two deaths linked to the disease. The nursing home is one of several in the state designated as a COVID recovery facility. Officials reported seven cases at Skyview Rehab and Nursing, and no deaths to date. Summit at Plantsville in Southington reported 16 cases to date. Four deaths at the facility have been linked to COVID-19. Officials have determined another death at the nursing home is COVID-19 probable.

Cheshire’s Elim Park Baptist home had 18 cases, with one death. Apple Rehab Farmington Valley, located in Plainville, reported 17 cases and two deaths. Another death at Apple Rehab was deemed probable. In Berlin, Ledgecrest Health Care had 19 residents who tested positive for COVID19, with one laboratory-confirmed death related to the disease. Meriden Mayor Kevin Scarpati shared the latest update regarding the city’s nursing home facilities on his official Facebook page. In response to one resident’s

concerns about nursing home employees lacking adequate personal protective equipment to care for residents, Scarpati responded, “the City has been helping as many facilities as possible. We’ve handed out all of the PPE we have to congregate care facilities this past week. I agree, more needs to be done.” Elim Park’s leaders issued a written statement late Friday regarding the efforts by staff to contain the spread of COVID-19 and the new coronavirus that causes it. In the statement, the leaders said, “Elim Park joins nursing homes around the country in fighting this battle against an invisible and insidious virus. Elim Park quickly and decisively put protocols and precautions in place to protect our staff and

residents. Our staff’s efforts have been extraordinary and we have witnessed their transition from caregivers to heroes. “Elim Park is a large community with approximately 500 residents and multiple levels of care. COVID-19 is isolated at this time to the Health Care Center. We have no confirmed cases in Independent Living, Assisted Living or Residential Care.”

parent in mid-March. As of Wednesday, April 25 36 states had cancelled the spring sports season, in most cases because schools in those states have been closed for the rest of the academic year. Connecticut schools, per Lamont’s order, will remain closed until at least May 20.

Thursday, April 30, 2020

Ultimately, Lamont and the state Department of Education will decide the fate of the Connecticut school year beyond that date, and thus the spring season. If schools do not reopen, there will be no scholastic sports in June. Some coaches have been wondering if games could be played even if school buildings don’t reopen. After all,

they reason, school is in session via distance learning. That possibility, says the CIAC, is not on the table. Another proposal that met with resistance from CIAC member schools was extending a spring season into July. School financial years run July 1-June 30, so any extension of sports into July would span two budget cycles and get complicated.

So, if schools do reopen this spring and there is sports season, it will be limited to June.

To help get the ball rolling, the CIAC is bending its mandatory practice rule. Athletes must still practice at least 10 days before competing, but five of those days can be fulfilled at home. The

other five must be done with a coach. The CIAC’s Board of Control will meet again on May 7. In the meantime, individual leagues and conferences will discuss how to conduct a potential June season. The scheduling would be left to them.

During this time of uncertainty, Jones said customers can support their local stylists and barbers by checking in. Knowing their customers are thinking about them and planning to return makes a big difference.

Southington resident Lisa Dunlap said she’s been dyeing her thick, curly hair at home for years to save money and has been happy with the results. After she applies the dye, her husband, wearing gloves, checks that no spots were missed.

Ryan Dohrn is an Emmy winner, best-selling business book author and was recognized by Forbes.com with the “Best of the Best” award for his business strategies. Ryan’s focus is marketing, sales, leadership and team performance. His passion for sales and marketing has given him the unique opportunity to touch half a billion dollars in revenue for companies in 7 countries. He has held leadership roles at the Walt Disney Company and his management insights have been featured in USA Today and on CNN. Ryan is an internationally certified business coach, has trained over 20,000 professionals and works monthly with companies in 15 business sectors.

Hair care mends using a video tutorial and doing a little at a time.

“... make it even,” Jones said, advising against trying to fade hair at home. “What people will be missing from their barber is the actual fade and the line up to make them look sharp.” Having a partner help you is usually more efficient, but Jones said you can also use a mirror.

We’re here to help. We’ll get through this together.

Eclipse Hair Salon in Plantsville is now offering curbside pickup for current clients to get their custom dyes. The salon will mix the client’s custom color and provide the tools and directions to dye their hair at home.
