PARC activities return Like many other non-profits, PARC, Inc. canceled all programs, services and fundraisers during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, after a oneyear hiatus, this organization, which provides familycentered support, direct services and advocacy for people with developmental disabilities, has resumed its programming. Members meet several nights each week at 28 E. Maple St. for social activities. Members enjoy crafts, Wii games, chair yoga, karaoke, bingo, dancing, movies and outdoor fun. Saturdays feature bowling at Lessard Lanes. Membership is open to residents of Plainville and contiguous towns, and begins with a short meeting, during which staff can assess the needs of the member and confer with parents or caregivers.

Officials urge mask use, even for the vaccinated
The 2021 school year ended with local students and staff wearing masks, and it appears that’s how they will return to the halls this fall.
School COVID protocols likely will remain in place By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff
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. 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 children younger than 12 years old.
All the while, the more contagious 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.
The Connecticut Department of Public Health on Sunday issued an alert that strongly recommends all Connecticut residents over 2 years old wear face masks in indoor public spaces, whether they’re vaccinated or not, given the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases over the past two weeks because of the delta variant. The warning came as all but one of the state’s eight counties were classified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control as having “substantial transmission” of COVID19. The state’s only county with moderate transmission, Litchfield County, has a high likelihood of meeting the substantial threshold soon, the state department said. COVID-19 infection rates remain low in Plainville, but appear to be increasing in some local communities.
State officials’ goals include a full return as well, according to revised state Department of Education recommendations issued on July 25.
As of the week of July 24, Meriden had 31 cases reported, with 16 the week before, and an infection rate of 5.7 per 100,000 people. Wallingford had five or fewer cases reported both those weeks, with an infection rate of five or

Powerhouse Motorsports show worth the wait Plainville resident and business owner Tabitha Manafort imagined having a big grand opening for Powerhouse Motorsports to be celebrated with a car/motorcycle show. But COVID derailed those plans. Instead, the two events were held separately, with Powerhouse Motorsports hosting their first car show on a recent Friday night. Ralph Barbagallo and his wife Sharleen, childhood friends of Powerhouse co-owner Justin Manafort, run car shows. They got in touch several months ago, and the rest is history. News of the car/motorcycle show was spread by word of mouth, Facebook
posts, and via newspapers and advertising. Car enthusiasts have a real passion, pride, and appreciation for these kind of events and word spreads quickly. Powerhouse sponsored the show, which drew more than 250 cars, trucks and motorcycles. The event also included raffles, gifts for sale, and food from local favorite Saint’s Restaurant. John and Claudia St. Pierre served their famous hot dogs and hamburgers, not only feeding hungry attendees, but also adding to the overall community feel at the gathering. The Barbagallos DJ’ed during the show and 10-year-old Tommi Man-
afort, daughter of Justin and Tabitha, was able to collect more than $2,500 for Victory Junction Camp, a getaway for kids with serious illnesses. Tommi raised the funds through the sale of her artwork, and generous donations. The Manaforts wish to thank the dedicated, hard-working Powerhouse employees who helped out. Also present to lend a hand and to support their sister’s and parents’ efforts were Manafort children Samantha and Justin Jr. If you missed out on the fun, you have two other chances. Powerhouse is hosting car shows on Aug. 27 and Sept. 25, both running from 5 to 8 p.m.

Residents urged to remove bird feeders to control contagion By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
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. “Since mid-May, numerous young songbirds in the midAtlantic, the Southeast, and the eastern upper Midwest, have been found with ocular and neurologic issues, and in some cases these birds have been found deceased in large numbers — up to 16 in one location,” an announcement from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection at the start of July stated. An update posted July
30 said preliminary testing results on three deceased birds indicate they may have been affected by the same unknown condition.
Preliminary results suggest that these cases match what has been reported in the mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions.”
“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.
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. The condition appears to primarily affect songbirds, including grackles, blue jays, European starlings and American robins, according to DEEP. Hummingbirds may also be affected and feeders for them should be taken down as well. See Feeders, A10
A robin carries an insect in its beak at the Riverbound Farm Sanctuary in Cheshire. Most of the bird feeders have been removed from the farm. Dave Zajac, Record-Journal

Lamont wants legislature to be involved in COVID decisions SOUTHINGTON (AP) — Gov. Ned Lamont said he would welcome a special legislative session to decide how to respond to the latest wave of the pandemic. Lamont’s latest set of executive orders expire Sept. 30.
Speaking during a visit to the Juniper Design Group in Southington on Tuesday, Lamont said he’s been talking to legislative leaders informally about what should happen next. “I think the legislature’s going to want to come in and I’d like to work with them in terms of what we do after Sept. 30 and get their point of view on masks, schools, vaccinations for state employees,” Lamont said. “I don’t

have to make all these decisions by myself. I’ll take some help.” Lamont said he also plans to meet soon with state union officials to discuss protocols. The governor said he believes most Connecticut residents have been making good decisions when it comes to wearing masks and getting vaccinated and he’s inclined to leave the decision on mandating vaccines up to businesses.
The group’s first fundraiser in more than a year is being planned. The 20th Annual Helen and Danny Coughlin Memorial Walk is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 9 at Norton Park. Sponsorships are available. For more information about joining PARC and/or the walkathon, contact Erica Donovan at 860-747-0316 or edonovan@parcdisabilitiesct.org, or visit parcdisabilitiesct.org.

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.

Mancini-Averitt, who teaches at Maloney High School in Meriden, described an academic year that was as disjointed for teachers as it was for students. “I don’t think we got to know our students as well in the high school as we would have, because we were seeing them every other day,” she said. “When you’re seeing them every day you do get to know them a lot more,” Mancini-Averitt said. She added that she is looking forward to when everyone is able to unmask.

PLAINVILLE - William “Bill” Kalwat, 82, of Plainville, husband of Bonnie (Sandquist) Kalwat, passed away Wednesday, July 28, at Apple Rehab of the Farmington Valley in Plainville. Born in New Britain, son of the late Edward and Martha (Teffs) Kalwat, he lived in Plainville for the past 48 years. A graduate of New Britain High School, class of 1957, Bill served with the US Army during the Vietnam Conflict. He was a case administrator at Aetna in Hartford for 25 years, retiring in 1990. Bill was a member of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in New Britain and was an avid Boston Red Sox fan. Bill and Bonnie spent 37 years vacationing in Aruba, an island that truly held a special place in his heart. Besides his wife Bonnie, he leaves a daughter, Elizabeth Struble and her husband Stephen of Bristol; his newly arrived grandson, Finn William Struble; a sister, Carol Wolf of Granville, MA; and a niece, Gretchen Wolf in
