By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
SOUTHINGTON — Repaving of a section of Queen Street along the Plainville border is underway and overnight work is expected to continue through the end of the month.
CHESHIRE — The calendar has flipped to August and dates are flashing along the Connecticut high school sports horizon like so many lighthouses.
Also flashing: the increase in COVID-19 cases due to the Delta variant.

Hospitalizations positive for the virus over the weekend, out of 38,702 tests that were conducted.
The latest wave of the virus and misinformation about its spread has prompted Hartford HealthCare to relaunch its COVID-19 hotline, hospital officials said.
The total brought the number of coronavirus tests conducted in the state to more than 10 million since the pandemic began, according to the governor’s office.
Officials said the hotline will be staffed by clinicians who can answer questions about masks, vaccinations and anything else related to the pandemic.
Lamont last week granted towns and cities the authority to require masks. New Haven’s mandate requires The officials said they are masks be worn inside at hoping that presenting the businesses, bars, restaurants, facts and responding to con-
cerns will lead to higher vaccination rates.
For 35 years, our family taking care of your family!
“We’re seeing the percentage remains 95 to 99% of the individuals needing critical care, needing ventilators are individuals who have not been vaccinated,” said Keith Grant, Hartford HealthCare’s senior system director of infection prevention.
How Can We Make You Smile Today!
The state’s most recent COVID-19 report, representing two weeks of data, showed 18 positive cases in Plainville; an average of 7.3 daily cases per 100,000 people.
Schools Student vaccinations As schools across Connecticut resume class, the Connecticut Department of Public Health is reminding parents to make sure their child's immunizations are up to date. The pandemic caused many children to fall behind on

their pediatric and adolescent vaccinations, increasing the potential for outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. COVID-19 has reminded us of the importance of vaccinations to protect children from preventable illnesses. Some children may even be lacking vaccines required for school entry in the fall.
As a reminder, adolescents 12 years and older are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and can receive their adolescent vaccinations at the same visit. For more information regarding the Connecticut Vaccine Program, call 860509-7929, email dph.immunizations@ct.gov, or visit portal.ct.gov.

Sunflower maze marks 25 years of ‘Arthur’ By Faith Williams Record-Journal staff
MIDDLEFIELD — Over 300,000 sunflowers are set to bloom at Lyman Orchards for the 15th year, bringing families to the only sunflower maze in the state. This year’s theme celebrates 25 years of “Arthur,” an ani-
mated television show on CPTV following Arthur Read, an aardvark and his friends and family. It was announced recently that “Arthur” was canceled and this winter’s broadcast season will be the last. “During your walk amidst the sunflowers,” the website said, “you’ll see butterflies
and yellow finches with the surrounding orchard hills as a beautiful scenic backdrop.” Families are invited to visit the sunflower maze and answer trivia questions to get through to the end of the maze. Each answer to the question guides you left or right with all the correct answers posted at the end.

Becky Critchley, Lyman Orchard’s director of events and catering, said the peak time for the sunflowers to bloom is Aug. 6 to Aug. 20. The maze is popular every year, especially for maternity and engagement photos.

Visitors are asked questions like “What is Arthur’s sister, D.W.’s actual name?” and “What instrument does Arthur play?” The maze takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
“During the summer we try to find things to do outdoors with the kids,” Uriarte said, “We don’t come here every year but we have been here a few times for strawberry and peach picking. We also go to the Apple Barrel.”

Uriarte’s son Liam Uriarte said the maze was cool and a lot of fun but confusing as the family tried to find their way out. The maze is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for children ages 4-12 and free for children ages 3 and under. The maze is open until Aug. 31.

John Lyman, owner of the orchard, said last year’s sunflower maze was “decent” but he is optimistic going into this year. “We’re looking forward to a really good year,” Lyman said. “The flowers are looking really good this year. We opened Saturday and so far we’ve had a really good turnout.” Lyman Orchards donates $1 of each admission charge to Connecticut Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. The website said the Lyman Orchards family wants “children battling cancer to reach for the stars and never give up hope.” While the sunflowers are in bloom, a Sunset Sunflower Maze Wine Tasting is offered every Friday in August.

Bird feeder warning
Care Solace
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. 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.
Plainville Community Schools is partnering with Care Solace, a cost free, confidential, accessible service that seeks to address mental health needs with well-vetted professionals in the local area, regardless of insurance. Plainville families and staff members may access Care Solace services immediately in the following ways: Call 888-515-0595 to speak with someone from the Concierge Team. Representatives are available 24 hours a day, 7
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. 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.

That said, the CIAC remains on course to start the fall season on time and, with safety protocols again in place, to run it in full, complete with state championships. The CIAC was not caught by surprise by the changing COVID metrics. Nor, with the lessons learned from 2020-21, does it feel unprepared. “We have anticipated that we would be managing some elements of COVID at least through another year, but we feel we have a lot more information, a lot more data this year from the sports that we were able to play last year, and that we can safely compete,” CIAC Executive Director Glenn Lungarini said last week. “So we were planning for an on-time start for our fall seasons. We are planning full fall seasons and we’re planning fall state championships as well. We’ll get started as early as Aug. 12, when the OTA days start for football.” This, of course, is a far cry from last summer, when so much was unknown about COVID-19 and vaccines were months away. The fall season was delayed, then heavily truncated without state tournaments. Football was cancelled. In essence, the CIAC was piloting a boat in the fog. “It’s a good analogy. I think the difference this year is we have GPS to help manage our way through the fog,” Lungarini said. “We have data. We do know some things that were effective in mitigating the spread, both before we had vaccines and when vaccines were available.” Like last year, the CIAC will continue to issue safety protocols to its member schools. The fall season will likely look much like the spring: masks for indoor activities, no masks for outdoor activities, at least not
“We have good information that shows those strategies were successful,” said Lungarini. The CIAC is also recommending student-athletes get vaccinated. It isn’t a mandate. It is a strong recommendation being made in conjunction with the state Department of Public Health. “We haven’t had any discussions about mandating vaccines; we do understand that choosing to get the vaccine is a personal choice,” Lungarini remarked. “That being said, both our medical professionals that we consult with and the medical experts at DPH feel this is the best way that we can protect our kids and our communities: for those who are eligible to get vaccinated to do so.”
While COVID numbers have increased due to the Delta variant, CIAC Executive Director Glenn Lungarini, pictured, said the high school fall sports season in on course to start on Record-Journal file photo time and run in full.
who are eligible to get vaccinated to do so,” said Lungarini. “But, again, we’re not making that a mandate. We’re simply joining DPH and encouraging that at this time.”
Vaccinations don’t merely protect against the virus, Lungarini noted, they protect against the fallout of exposure. Vaccinated students who are considered a close contact won’t have to quarantine so long as they are not showing any symptoms of illness.
The CIAC Board of Control meets on Aug. 26. The CIAC, though, will likely issue its fall protocols sooner than that.
Last year, in all three seasons, several area teams were sidelined en masse by contact tracing.
There’s a balance to be struck, as far as timing goes. The CIAC wants to get information out before the preseason kicks in, yet not so fast as to be ahead of the latest COVID data or any new directives from the state.
“I feel the best way our kids can experience a full season and we could limit the number of quarantines and have successful postseason tournaments would be for those
The CDC is recommending students and staff, whether vaccinated or not, wear masks in school. Lamont has said he’ll soon be making the call for Connecticut. Until then, his previous order requiring masks in schools remains in effect till Sept. 30. In the meantime, with preseason approaching at a time when COVID is flaring, Lungarini takes comfort in a successful CIAC spring sports season that’s been followed by a good summer. “While we’re just seeing a bit
of a spike in the Delta variant now, we haven’t heard of any outbreaks among sports teams over the summer, and a lot of those summer programs do travel throughout the country,” the CIAC executive director noted. “I think we’ve learned a lot. We’ve learned how to do things safely. “At the same time, we need to be cautious and we need to be purposeful in the mitigation of COVID to help keep our kids safe. I think we can do this in a safe manner.”
