FARMS ADAPT TO COVID-19

‘Pure grocery shopping’ 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. “Business has been above usual this year,” said Ashley Vescera, garden center manager at Winterberry Gardens in Southington. “I want to say that the amount of people walking in has doubled.”
All of these businesses have found it necessary to make changes to keep staff and customers safe. At the start of the pandemic, Lyman Orchards in Middlefield decided to cancel big events and focus on the farm market. “It’s basically pure grocery shopping,” said Lyman Orchards CFO David Bujese. “We’ve adapted a little to try to meet the customers’ demands. We’ve added meat, things like that, so they can do a full trip here versus just produce.”
Rogers Orchards in Southington created an online curbside pickup model. “We went from a farm stand and then in a matter of days, we reinvented our farm stand into a curbside model,” said Peter Rogers, president of Rogers Orchards. “So ordering online, making payments online securely, gathering somebody’s order, building that order and having it ready for curbside pickup. It’s a labor intensive project when you think of building the site.” See Farms, A10

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.
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.
“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 “That’s just an extra precaution on our part,” next few weeks.” Bronson said. Sherry Bronson, owner of With no waiting area, Trey’s Barbershop in clients show up at the Southington, said the time of their appointment shop’s four barbers are booked all week with ap- and are let in. pointments. “It’s been pretty smooth “Everyone has been com- today so far,” Bronson said. ing in this morning,” Bronson said. “Which is a great thing, we’re excited See Hair cutteries, A10 about that.”

Limiting conversation The state requirements also included limiting conversation between clients and hairdressers “to the extent practical.” That’s a challenge, Cruz said. She’s been in business for 12 years and is close to her customers. “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. With so many restrictions, Cruz considered whether it made sense to reopen, but needed to after the recent move to Center Street. “I put a ton of money into this place and a month later had to close,” she said.

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 Department’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 finals in events, higher level competitions, awards, medals, recognition, and the possibility of greater visibili-
ty to colleges and other benefits,” according to the letter, which is dated May 15. 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 pro-
ceedings 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 See Transgender, A16

HARTFORD — Waterbury police arrested 28 people over the weekend in connection with protests over police killings of black people, but authorities said the demonstrations were mostly peaceful as they were in cities across Connecticut.
Police officials said the people who were arrested blocked streets and caused other disruption, but did not
appear to be part of the peaceful main rally organized by Black Lives Matter. 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.
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.

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.
