Local companies team up, loan generators during outage SOUTHINGTON — Southington PowerSports helped over 30 families since last week by loaning generators to those with medical conditions or who were without power following the storm. Jaime Sewell, owner of the company, said they worked for four days straight setting up the generators at families homes. The generators were being used to power medical equipment, air conditioners and refrigerators during the power outage. Sewell said he didn’t initially plan on leaving Southington, but they re-
ceived a great number of calls asking for help. They set up units in towns including Southington, Cheshire, Bristol, and Manchester. There was no charge to the families, Sewell noted. “We were just trying to give back to the community,” Sewell said Monday. “We’ve been very blessed here … We enjoy helping people out.” Sewell said they started by helping one family that lives on Flanders Road, where his business is located, and it “snowballed” from there. Sewell said he received help from Washington Concrete
Products in Plainville, who donated the use of three generators as well. Matt Strasser lives near Southington PowerSports and has used them to service his equipment, such as his lawnmower. He said Sewell reached out to him, knowing that he was likely out of power if the business was out. Strasser said his fiance has been out of work due to coronavirus, so living on one income they were grateful not to have to replace all of the food in their refrigerator. See Generators, A15
Child care industry may be headed for financial collapse By Matthew Zabierek Record-Journal staff
With roughly half of child care providers still closed due to the coronavirus pandemic and advocates warning the industry is headed for financial collapse, members of the state’s Congressional delegation are backing a $50 billion bailout that would help providers stay afloat. The U.S. House voted last week to pass the Child Care is Essential Act, introduced by U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., which would create a $50 billion “Child Care Stabilization Fund” through which providers could receive grants to cover operating costs, pay staff, and comply with virus mitigation guidelines. The legislation would also provide some tuition and copayment relief for working families. Republican lawmakers unveiled a stimulus package last month that would provide a total of $15 billion to the industry.
“This is a crisis,” DeLauro said during her testimony on the House floor. “More than half of child care programs could close if we do not act quickly. And if we cannot make families feel that their kids are going to be safe and secure in their child care setting, we are not going to get our economy on track.” DeLauro’s district includes Wallingford and North Haven. The bill, which now heads to the Republican-controlled Senate, passed 249163, with 18 Republicans and all Democrats voting in favor. Republicans proposed a stimulus package last month that would provide $15 billion to the child care industry. The political news website The Hill reported last week that while Republicans said they agreed access to child care is important, they criticized the bill as partisan. See Child care, A10 R232002
Jaime Sewell, owner of Southington PowerSports, holds up a sign on Aug. 10 that a resident in need had hung outside their home. The resident gave him the sign to remember how he helped them, by loaning a generator while power was out.

Ned Lamont said Friday, Aug. 7. The Tuesday, Aug. 4 storm cut power to more than 700,000 homes and businesses in Connecticut, killed two people and seriously injured five others. Scores of trees and utility wires were knocked down.

“This is no more than a copy-paste of various Democratic child care proposals, superficially edited to link to the pandemic,” Rep. Tom Reed, R-New York, told the website.
‘Chilling’ The pandemic led droves of providers throughout the country and state to close, with an April survey by the Bipartisan Policy Center showing 60 percent of licensed providers nationally closed and stopped serving children entirely. In some cases, centers were forced to close because they couldn’t survive financially, while other centers voluntarily closed due to concerns about the virus. Unlike many other states, Connecticut allowed day care providers to remain open during the pandemic, but with enhanced safety See Child care, A12

2020 Census reminder
HAPPY RETIREMENT
Over the next decade, lawmakers, business owners, and many others will use 2020 Census data to make critical decisions. The results will show where communities need new schools, new clinics, new roads, and more services for families, older adults and children.
From the Town of Plainville Facebook page: “After 40 years of service, Assistant Town Manager Shirley Osle has retired from the Town of Plainville. Shirley has been involved in countless projects and initiatives throughout her career with one goal in mind – doing what's best for the Town, the community and residents. She has been active in several organizations and Town events over the years, and during her retirement will continue to serve Plainville. We wish Shirley good health, much happiness and all the best in her new adventures! She will be missed! Although the pandemic kept us from being able to have a large gathering in her honor at this time, we were able to find a way to say our farewells and wish Shirley well her last day!”

Roughly 50 percent of child care providers in Connecticut are currently open, according to the state Office of Early Childhood, a significant improvement from a month or so ago, when around 16 percent of providers were open.
The results will also inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated to more than 100 programs, including Medicaid, Head Start, block grants for community mental health services and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP.

ing to a recent survey of more than 5,000 providers by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Beth Bye, commissioner of the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood, previously estimated that Connecticut could lose 45,000 child care spaces without government intervention, citing projections from the Center for American Progress.
“In good times, these are small businesses that operate on razor-thin margins,” DeLauro said. “And now, with the pandemic, they are facing financial ruin.”
“Those numbers are chilling,” U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said during a recent “Child Care in Crisis” press conference. “To think that 45,000 spaces may be lost in Connecticut alone, that 40 percent of our child care facilities around the country in the next few months may close is just a national disgrace and shameful.”
Approximately 40 percent of providers say they are certain they will close permanently without any government intervention, accord-
Carly Adames is the executive director of Children’s Day School in Greenwich, a nonprofit that serves 200 children and families in the
Greenwich and Stamford area. The school, which relies on tuition fees, has lost $670,000 in revenue since the pandemic began, DeLauro said during a recent virtual video conference call with DeLauro and other providers. “I don’t know where we go from here. In order for us to maintain a viable program and a break-even budget, we need to maintain 95 percent enrollment of our capacity,” Adames said. “With limited group size restrictions and reduced enrollment, continuing down this road is undeniably unsustainable.” Adames also pointed out that early childhood educators don’t have the same security blanket as K-12 teachers.
“The driving force for K-12 teachers in determining whether or not to return to in-person instruction is health and safety, that’s it,” she said. See Child care, A13

The Connecticut Department of Transportation's Highway Safety Office announced the second wave of the "U DRIVE. U TEXT. U PAY." campaign. Through this initiative, officers will be cracking down on motorists who text, talk or distract themselves with a hand-held mobile phone while driving.

The second phase of this two-part campaign will also have special patrols aimed at saving lives and protecting the public. More than 50 law enforcement agencies, both state and local police, who were previously involved in the April 2019 campaign, will again be participating. Over the past decade, distracted driving has become one of the leading causes of vehicle crashes on our nation’s roads. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, between 20122017, nearly 20,000 people died in crashes involving a distracted driver. In fact, there were 3,166 people killed in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers in 2017. While this represents a 9 percent decrease in distracted driving fatalities from 2016 to 2017, there is clearly more work to be done. Since 2015, nearly 33,000 crashes in Connecticut have involved a distraction – resulting in 45 fatal crashes.

— From the Connecticut Department of Transportation
“Whenever in-person instruction resumes, the school will be there, the funding will be there, and operations will resume. On the contrary, many early childhood providers are being partially motivated by financial stability … We don’t have the luxury of knowing that whenever we return operations will resume.” In some cases, families financially hit by the pandemic can no longer afford child care. Other families worry whether it’s safe to send their child back or have opted to take care of their child while working from home. The NAEYC survey found 86 percent of respondents are serving fewer children now than they were before the pandemic, with enrollment down 67 percent on average. John Benigni, CEO of the Meriden-Berlin-New Britain YMCA, said none of the Y’s nine child care centers in Meriden or five in Berlin and New Britain have had to shut down. But nonetheless, the Y has seen tighter financial margins due to statemandated restrictions on the number of children per classroom. The limit started at 10 but was raised to 14 about a month ago. “The business of childcare is definitely more challenging than ever before,” Benigni said. “... At one point we had 20 kids per classroom, now we’re down to 14. But our staffing levels remain the same.” The decline in revenue is also compounded by in-
Prior to the pandemic, the state was already losing daycare slots because so many providers operated on tight budgets, according to Bye. “So before this (pandemic), we were losing programs. Now we’re saying to programs that were barely making it, you can take half as many kids,” Bye said during a video news conference in May. “The usual demand is down and we’ve cut their supply in half. There’s no way they can make it. So this is why the federal funds are critical.” The proposed $50 billion bailout bill would allot $330 million to Connecticut, which experts say represents about six months of revenue for the industry. Chris Lyddy, chief operating officer for the state Office of Early Childhood, said the funding would not only help the child care system survive the pandemic but also help “set a stage for looking down the road and being able to envision an industry that is much more stable than it is currently is.” “This is an industry that’s been underfunded forever,” Lyddy said. “This has already been a very fragile industry to begin with, an industry that is predominantly balanced on the backs of black and brown women.”
Blumenthal argues stabilizing the child care industry will be essential to economic restoration. “Even if you care nothing for children … think about the economic impact. We cannot reopen our economy, we cannot return, we cannot return to full employment … unless we provide more child care,” Blumenthal said.
‘Slim pickings’ Benigni said the Y’s day cares were operating at full capacity a month ago until the state increased group size limits from 10 to 14. The Y is now in the process of filling those additional slots, and Benigni is worried the number of slots won’t be enough to meet the demand. “I would imagine in the next month or so we’ll be filled to (capacity). If they don’t raise (class sizes up from 14), I’ll be forced to turn people away,” Benigni said. “The demand is definitely growing, and as the economy opens up and more people have to go back to work, if the amount of child care slots isn’t increased, it’s going to be slim pickings and difficult to get your children in.” Benigni said he knows of parents that are paying for child care they’re not currently using to ensure they have a slot when they return to work. Even before the pandemic, finding affordable, high-quality providers was a struggle for many families.
“It’s becoming more and more competitive for those additional child care spaces for people that maybe were at a childcare center previously that shut down or is no longer taking anyone else,” he said.

“Too many drivers are ignoring their responsibilities behind the wheel,” said Joseph Giulietti, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Transportation. “Starting Aug. 1, the community will see an increased and highly visible law enforcement presence on our roadways as officers will be stopping and ticketing anyone who is texting and driving.”

EDITORIAL
Lamont lends more flexibilty to re-opening “We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, but let us not forget for a moment the toils and efforts that lie ahead.” That’s what British Prime Minister Winston Churchill told his people on V-E Day, while delirious crowds were celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany. But he felt the need to be the wet blanket on that party, lest people forget how much blood, sweat and tears might lie ahead before the defeat of Japan. Now we are at a nodal point in the war against the coronavirus, and Connecticut has done well — better than most states in terms of our low transmission and positive-test rates. In fact, that information moved Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist and former White House adviser, to write this in a recent New York Times op-ed: “How do you get to a lower transmission rate? The exact way Connecticut has done it.” Connecticut, he said, is in “a perfect place to open up its schools, given its low transmission rate and low positivity.”

But after allowing ourselves a brief period of patting ourselves on the back for doing the right things and flattening the initial viral curve, we need to concentrate on the job now at hand: opening the schools safely.
On that front, Gov. Ned Lamont recently announced that local school officials will have more flexibility to decide the mix of in-school learning and online learning and whether any changes should be made if there’s an uptick in COVID-19 cases in their county. This will be guided by metrics, Lamont said. “If there’s a spike in infections, there’s a surge in hospitalizations, at that point we’re going to be in a strong position to change course and get people in a different type of educational environment.” However, if a school system wants to go to distance learning only, it will need approval from Education Commissioner Miguel Cardona.
Lamont had initially required all school districts to come up with plans for inschool learning, online learning and a hybrid model. But he said many superintendents were asking for more flexibility. We’re not out of the woods yet — this is still 2020, the year of “the new abnormal” — but our state is doing better than most, and that is something for which we may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, as well as at least a small measure of pride. — Originally published in the Record-Journal

Next-day pickup of orders in the library foyer will continue to be available for people who choose to avoid public spaces.

To accommodate social distancing requirements, public computer stations in the building have been temporarily reduced to half of what was previously available. All users are limited to one 30-minute session per day, even if no one else is waiting. No exceptions will be made for additional time. This mandate is to maximize the number of users that can access computers throughout the day, and to discourage extended visits in the building. Computer users are required to clean and sanitize their workstation after use with the cleaning materials made available to them.
Can I come in and read the newspaper, socialize, or relax with a book? Can I work on my laptop in the building?

Right now, the intention of in-house library service is for users to make short trips in and out to browse the collection; print, copy, fax or scan items; look up information; or ask reference questions.
One-on-one computer assistance or instruction is extremely difficult under social distancing guidelines. Computer users are asked to troubleshoot on their own as much as possible; if staff assistance is then deemed necessary, users will be asked to maintain a distance of at least six feet from the employee.
