Farmers markets set to open By Jessica Simms Special to the Record-Journal
With summer officially here, many are looking to enjoy locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Many farmers markets, including Meriden and Southington, have decided to open, taking precautions to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
The Southington Farmers Market, run by Activate Southington, is set to reopen July 3. It runs every Friday until Aug. 28 from 3 to 6 p.m. on the Southington Green.

“We’re going to take every precaution that’s recommended by the state and local health departments and we will follow that,” said Karen DiGirolamo, the health and & wellness director at the Southington YMCA and a member of the committee that oversees

the market. “We will keep them safe and they will be able to come shop and get the things that they look forward to every summer.” The Southington market worked with the state agriculture department and the Plainville-Southington Regional Health District to open. All vendors were provided a document with the health and safety guidelines and signage will be up at the market to remind people of these rules. Protocols include social distancing, washing hands, wearing
masks and only having the farmers touch the produce before handing it over to customers. “There will be tables in front of their (produce) so that people can’t go in and touch all of the vegetables,” DiGirolamo said. The market will not include entertainment. Only farmers that participated in last year’s market will be involved. “We’re just doing the essentials,” DiGirolamo said. See Markets, A11

The Wallingford market will not be operating this year, but organizers said they are looking forward to returning in 2021. The Plainville market closed down after the 2018 season.

Happy Independence Day! Unlike Veterans Day and Memorial Day — solemn occasions for Americans — Independence Day is a time of pure celebration. It has been that way for 242 years. According to History.com, in the summer of 1776, some colonists celebrated the birth of independence by holding mock funerals for King George III as a way of symbolizing the end of the monarchy’s hold on America and the triumph of liberty.
The celebrations continued during the first public readings of the Declaration of Independence, beginning immediately after its adoption. Concerts, bonfires and parades were held. Cannons and muskets were fired. History.com states that even George Washington got swept up in the merriment. During the Revolutionary War, in 1778, Washington is said to have issued double rations of rum to all his sol-

diers to mark the anniversary of independence. Fast-forward to present day, and the revelry continues on the Fourth of July, our most patriotic holiday. There are parades, barbecues and fireworks, and lots of flag-waving. Independence Day is a celebration, just as it was in 1776, so enjoy the festivities today, but take a moment to remember why we celebrate. Who better to encapsulate why that is than one of our Founding Fathers? Ten days before he died, on July 4, 1826, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter declining an invitation to attend the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Declaration of Independence, which had been written largely by him.

Caring Connection Program These are unprecedented times and The Cove Center for Grieving Children is responding to meet the higher level of needs among families in our community. We are aware that people are grieving a host of losses and finding themselves in the midst of tremendous uncertainty and stress. Consequently, Donna Nickdow, LCSW and Director of Camp Erin CT will be available to provide guidance and support to individuals seeking grief services. Donna will do a brief assessment and will refer to clinicians, support groups or other services when indicated. The Cove recognizes the importance of a human connection at this time and we believe that a phone or virtual conversation can help mitigate the challenges we are facing during the health crisis. Any families appropriate for our Family Program will be able to receive services when social distancing restrictions are lifted.

The Census Bureau is adapting or delaying some operations to protect the health and safety of staff and the public while still making sure the population is counted. According to the original schedule, non-response follow-up, (a.k.a. door knocking) was due to begin mid-May. It will now be postponed until mid-August. What does this mean? If you would prefer to avoid that knock on the door, then fill out the Census for your household. Respond online at 2020Census.gov or call 844-330-2020 for English and 844-468-2020 for Spanish.
Also, the trimming or removal of bushes/trees near and around the monuments continues. The planting of bushes or trees on lots or graves is no longer allowed (effective May 2016). Business Owner / Service Provider?

“The essential food and we’re going with our vendors that we had last year. We’re not adding anything this year. We know they know the protocols.” Despite the changes, DiGirolamo is excited. “Just seeing people on our green to be able to get vegetables and fruit,” DiGirolamo said. “People have been calling left and right so they’re actually excited that we’re going to be doing this. People are cooped up and the farmers have worked so hard to come back. We want them to be able to share their supply and get the food out to people who need it.”
Meriden The Meriden Farmers Market, whose market master is Trifecta Ecosystems, is starting July 11. It will run from 8:30 a.m. to noon every Saturday on the Meriden Green until Oct. 17. It also worked with the department of agriculture and the city’s health department to follow all necessary protocols. “We met with the director of parks and recreation, Chris Bourdon, and walked the site at the green and figured out where we are going to place everybody for social distancing,” said Michael Rohde, a city councilor involved with running the market. “We’re also going to
be just farmers, at least to start out with. In the past we’ve had multiple other vendors, live music, school lunch programs going on and theme days, all kinds of things for kids. We’re not doing any of the extras because of the safety issues, so we’re trying to keep it as simple as possible.” The market will also have two battery operated, no touch hand sanitizing stations.
More urology expertise. Right in your neighborhood.
“The farmers themselves will be set up on Mill Street with two tables in front of them so they’ll have plenty of social distancing between them and the customers,” Rohde said. The market is still offering its doubling dollars program. “We’re going to be giving out doubling dollars which are double coupons for eligible families and those are families in the SNAP program or elderly,” Rohde said. “We will be giving those out from day one. That’s six dollars of free coupons to use at any of the farmers.” The Meriden Farmers Market has grown over the past 10 years from having two farmers to seven. “Everyone knows farmers are always struggling and for us to be a part of them having a good season, we’re happy to do that,” Rohde said. jsimms@record-journal.com 203-317-2208

New Plainville Fire Department apparatus arrives Two years after Plainville voters approved their purchase at referendum, on June 23, the Plainville Fire Department’s new Tower 1 ladder truck and Engine 2 rolled into town. The new trucks replace a three-decades-old engine truck and a nearly-30-yearold tower truck.
In 2018, voters supported the purchase by a 669-83 margin, or an approval rate of 89 percent. Residents who approved the purchases two years back said they wanted to show support for the department. "We have a volunteer fire department and the least we

PLAINVILLEBradley Gordon Matthews, lifelong resident and husband of Martha “Marty” (Blashke) Matthews, passed away after a brief illness on his 73rd birthday, June 20, 2020. Born in Bristol, he was the only son of Gordon and Marie (Resch) Matthews. Brad was a 1966 graduate of Plainville High School, and earned his Associate’s Degree from Tunxis Community College. He married his childhood friend, Marty in 1969, just six months prior to being drafted into the US Navy. Brad proudly served his country during Vietnam on the USS Tripoli, receiving an honorable discharge in 1973. His patriotism, service, and support to his fellow veterans continued throughout his life as an affiliate of the Vietnam Vets of America, the VFW Post 574, American Legion Post 33, and the Disabled America Veterans of which he later became a travel consultant and coordinator. Rarely seen without his “shiny shoes” and Vietnam hat and jacket, he was also a member of the USS Iwo Jima LPH and Blue Water Navy Associations. His other hat was that of a fireman, as a volunteer EMT and firefighter for the Plainville Fire Company for over 30 years. Brad worked in the IT community for 35 years, and at the age of 55, he switched gears and hit the open road as a tractor trailer driver for Coast to Coast Express. Upon retiring, he volunteered his time transporting veterans as a driver for the V.A. and D.A.V., quickly making friends with each trip. A car enthusiast, he enjoyed watching NASCAR and attending car shows throughout New England showcasing his Mustangs, or embracing the peace and serenity of fishing.
