Local siblings team up to support wounded warriors Twelve-year-old Kara Ahern, a Middle School of Plainville seventh grader and champion swimmer, knew as far back as a year ago that she wanted to play a bigger role in helping her younger brother Michael make his Scoops for Troops veterans charity initiative a huge success.
Theaters begin to reopen as studios release blockbusters By Devin Leith-Yessian Record-Journal staff
Helped along by a few recent blockbuster releases, movie theaters are beginning to open their auditoriums and allow customers indoors. “We’ve been so lonely, everyone that works in a movie theater company … we’re people people, we love serving people,” said Bria Naylor, marketing manager for Picture Show Entertainment, a theater in Berlin.
Michael had big dreams for the project, and the siblings planned to team together to make 2020 an even more successful fundraising year than the charity’s inaugural campaign in 2019. Then came COVID-19.
Without the possibility of a big box office weekend, as theaters have been shuttered amid the Coronavirus pandemic, studios have held off on releasing blockbusters that are typically shown throughout the summer.
Despite obstacles presented by the pandemic, which has created major fundraising challenges for charities large and small, Kara, Michael and Scoops for Troops are persevering, with Kara dipping her toes – literally – into the Scoops for Troops fundraising waters for the very first time.
Plainville siblings Kara and Michael Ahern are doing their part for military veterans.
Kara was joined by several of her Plainville Middle School teammates and a limited group of others on Aug. 22 at the very first Scoops for Troops Swim-A-
Thon at Shuttle Meadow Country Club in Kensington. It was the charity project’s first organized fundraising event of the year.
“Fundraising this year has admittedly been difficult, but Kara and Michael are as See Warriors, A11
As a few of those movies have been released in recent weeks, namely Unhinged and New Mutants, theaters have felt confident that the demand is there for them to begin powering up their projectors.
Both AMC Theaters in Plainville and Southington are open and have various showtimes with a 40 percent theater capacity restriction and a mask mandate. Cinemark movie theater in North Haven also currently has showtimes with required masks and other COVID restrictions in place. Though theaters have been permitted to open in Connecticut since midJune, the Picture Show in Berlin waited until Aug. 21 to open. “I think the movie theater industry as a whole has been waiting, holding their breath to see what Hollywood is doing,” Naylor said. Major releases were sometimes delayed just days ahead of their first showings, sending theaters back to the drawing board on their own reopenings. With more major releases on the horizon — particularly Tenet, set to premiere on Sept. 3 and Wonder See Theaters, A12 R233461

In late August, TriCircle, Inc., a Middlefield-based nonprofit that provides resources for individuals and families affected by substance use, invited the public to view a memorial quilt displayed at Gaylord Hospital in Wallingford. The quilt is part of a statewide Remembrance Quilt Initiative, launched in 2017 to honor loved ones who have died from a substance use disorder, coordinated by the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services with resources provided through Connecticut Clearinghouse in Plainville. The TriCircle quilt was scheduled to be displayed at the 4th Annual International Overdose Awareness Day Vigil Monday on the steps of the State Capitol building in Hartford.

FALL HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS
CIAC official: ‘We think it’s safe; we think it’s logical’ Every fall sport, for that matter, got the green light in the new high school sports reopening plan the CIAC unveiled late Wednesday night, Aug. 26 and further explained in a press conference the following morning. Bottom line? Scholastic football, soccer, volleyball, swimming, field hockey and cross country teams could start practicing in cohorts Saturday, Aug. 29 with an eye to starting full team practices on Sept. 21 and games on Oct. 1 — so long as COVID19 case numbers in Connecticut remain low enough. Underscore that last part several times over. Nothing is set in stone. As the CIAC likes to say, the sports situation is fluid because the coronavirus pandemic is fluid. COVID will steer the course.
“We think it’s safe, we think it’s logical, we think it gives a progression. We think it addresses the social, emotional and mental health needs of our kids as well as their desire to compete.”
CIAC first unveiled its fall strategy on July 30.
until late winter or early spring, when the numbers are projected to be higher. Volleyball, recommended by DPH to be played outdoors, will remain indoors for safety, weather and space concerns, though perhaps with players wearing masks.
Football, recommended to be 7-on-7 by the state Department of Health, will be the traditional full-contact 11-on-11.
While the CIAC is moving forward with a fall season, whether teams ever get to practice as full units or actually play games depends on the COVID-19 case numbers the CIAC will monitor throughout September.
The CIAC maintains the state’s low COVID numbers justify trying to play a season now, as compared to waiting
Don’t be surprised if there continue to be changes in the plan like the ones that have cropped up since the
“From the start of this, we’ve reminded everybody that our plan will be fluid; it will change as the information changes, as the metrics change,” Lungarini said. One key date is Sept. 18, roughly two weeks after most districts start school. That’s when the CIAC will let schools know if Connecticut’s COVID numbers al-
“The CIAC believes that a minimum of two weeks of COVID data is necessary to determine whether the return to on campus instruction will impact extracurricular offerings,” the CIAC plan reads.

recent delivery fee increases.
Some customers lost power for more than a week.
Connecticut regulators in July ordered Eversource, the state’s largest electric utility, to temporarily suspend a rate increase that appeared in customers’ July bills and immediately restore rates to their June 30 levels so an investigation could be conducted into whether customers were being overcharged.
On Aug. 27, Judge said the average bill increased by $62, with $55 of that attributed to increased usage when many people were working from home during hot weather. But much of the discussion during last week’s hearing focused on Eversource’s response to the storm. Legislators accused the company of not communicating well with municipal officials about restoration efforts, not giving restoration crews clear orders on where they were needed, and creating a perception that the company cares more about shareholders than customers.
“We had more line crews working the restoration effort than we’ve ever had before on an event on our system — more than Irene, more than Sandy and more than the October 2011 storm,” he said, adding how the number of restoration crews was tripled within the first 48 hours after Isaias hit Connecticut on Aug. 4.

Michael, a 10-year-old Linden Street School student, started Scoops for Troops early last year with a goal of raising $400 and providing children of recalibrated veterans at the Travis Mills Foundation’s Rome, Maine retreat with free ice cream. That goal was quickly met, and another goal of raising $30,000 was established to help veterans and their families on a broader scale. The campaign ultimately raised more than $33,000 in 2019.

Theaters From A1
Woman 1984 coming out in October — Naylor believes demand will only continue to rise through the fall and into the winter, when many of the movies pushed off over the summer are set to be released. “As more new movies draw crowds out to the theaters we’re anticipating seeing a parallel reaction with our customers,” she said. The Berlin theater got through the summer, typically its busiest season, by setting up a drive-in with a screen set up against the back wall of the building. Starting June 5, they aired

you have these high highs,” she said. “ … I think parents want to share that experience with their children, and friends want to share that with their other friends.”
Naylor said they’re also considering bringing the drivein back in future summer seasons.
To keep customers safe as seats fill up, the theater has extended the down time between showings to give staff more time to clean theaters before the next movie begins. Their ticketing system is also set up to automatically ensure that there’s at least two seats between each party and larger groups will be clustered away from other patrons. Staff have been provided with gloves and masks, undergo temperature checks before the start of each shift and social distancing detailing has been installed on the floor.
The smell of the candy and soda wafting from the concessions stand and the low hum of excitement as the lights dim can’t be replaced by streaming a movie at home, Naylor said, and people have been missing opportunities to be together outside the home. “You're in this room, you're experiencing this huge storyline with other people and

“Therefore, no full team practices will occur prior to September 21.” The CIAC will marry up its assessments with the state Department of Education’s “Indicators for Consideration of Learning Models,” which give guidance for inschool, hybrid and distance learning. The leading indicator in that model is the seven-day average of new cases per 100,000 people. The secondary indicators are seven-day averages of percent test positivity, new hospitalizations and COVID-like illnesses reported at emergency rooms. A color-coded chart included in the CIAC plan breaks down the numbers: n Low-risk
(favors in-school learning): Less than 10 percent new COVID cases per 100,000 with secondary indicators trending down to flat; n Moderate
risk (favors hybrid plans): 10-24 new cases per 100,000 with secondary indicators trending flat to upward; n High
risk (favors distance learning): 25 or more new cases per 100,000 with secondary indicators trending upward. If the state’s case numbers remain low after schools have been open for two weeks, the shift will be made to full team practices on the 21st.
If they start to rise to a moderate level — or if they do so in a significant number of school districts to the point where maintaining game schedules is not possible —activity will revert back to cohort conditioning and skill work practices. If numbers spike into highrisk territory, all activities will be shut down. Sports will also stop if schools close and go to distance learning.
Lungarini noted that providing sports for athletes through school is less risky than kids playing on their own, where social distancing and other precautions are less likely to be followed. In that regard, Lungarini made an appeal to athletes. “We have an opportunity to play together, but to do that you have to commit to school, your family and your team and you have to forego those social experiences where you’re getting together in these unstructured environments, because that is where the risk is more likely.” As for specific sports, the CIAC and Department of Public Health have been in agreement over cross country, soccer, swimming and field hockey. Their differences have been over football and volleyball. The DPH recommended moving both to spring or, if they were to remain in the fall, going 7on-7 in football and outdoors in volleyball.
From A2
Photo contest
Given that COVID-19 cases have remained low, the CIAC argues, why should the landscape be different for high school?
The Bristol Exchange Club and the Mum Festival Committee has announced the first in a series of “fun-raisers,” an online Virtual Auto Show Photo contest. Show off a prized car or truck to a wide audience. The competition runs until Wednesday, Sept.16. Awards will be presented. Visit gogophotocontest.com/bristolmumfestival to enter a photo and to vote for your favorite entry.
Football, the CIAC further argues, is unlike other sports in that it does not have AAU or club options. The high school game is the only one for players of that age group, the only avenue to college recruiting, and every effort has to be made to play it. The debate is not over and the plan unveiled on Aug. 26 gives the CIAC and DPH more time to hash out differences.
Car show
At the press conference, Lungarini made it a point to stress that the CIAC is not defying the state’s wishes.
Klingberg Family Centers has announced plans for their next vintage motorcar event. This one will include a traditional car show for vehicles 1989 and older and a Pre-war Concours d’Elegance. The event will take place Saturday, Sept. 26, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Klingberg Family Centers, 370 Linwood St., New Britain.
“We want, very clear, our message to be: We are listening to the recommendations that are coming from the Department of Health, we are aligning in many ways with the recommendations of the Department of Health,” Lungarini said. “We still have some questions and we still have some areas that we feel need to be explored as we go forward.” The DPH is sticking with its stance on football and volleyball. Acting Commissioner Dr. Diedre Gifford said, “Those recommendations are unlikely to change. We’ve been consistent.”

Attendees will drive their own cars along a special spectator travel lane winding through every field and parking lot of show cars. For the safety of all, there will be no spectators walking or exiting their cars. Entrance fees for car owners and spectators will be waived this year to avoid the exchange of credit cards and cash. However, donations will be accepted. For more information, visit klingbergmotorcarseries.org.
Apple Harvest race The Southington-Cheshire Community YMCA has announced that registration is open for the Y’s 41st Annual Apple Harvest Festival Road Races. This year, due to the pandemic, the race will be held in a virtual setting. Participants of all ages can run, walk or hike. The first 1,000 people to register will receive a t-shirt and all participants will receive a bib and certificate. For more information or to register for the race, visit sccymca.org/apple.
