A more normal winter sports season
PORTRAIT PIONEER
Record-Journal staff
CHESHIRE — CIAC leaders met with high school athletic directors Friday to discuss fall tournaments and the upcoming winter season. According to a preview shared by the CIAC, the winter sports season is expected to start on time, all sports are a go, and vaccinated student-athletes will not be required to wear masks while competing.
Plainville Community Schools’ Portrait Pioneer for the month of October is Ryan McMahon. The Linden Street School Special Education teacher was nominated by faculty member Chelsea Tep, and was recognized at the Oct. 12 Board of Education meeting. The Portrait Pioneer program was launched to recognize school staff who model and embody core qualities of the district’s “Portrait of the Graduate” framework. Colleagues, students, parents and other community members can nominate a member of the school district staff for the award. The nomination form is available on the school district website.
Unvaccinated athletes will have to wear masks except in sports, such as gymnastics, where a face covering could pose a safety risk. When not actively competSee CIAC, A3

Memorial Day is a time to remember those who gave their lives for our country, particularly in battle or from wounds they suffered in battle. Veterans Day honors all of those who have served the country in war or peace — dead or alive — although it’s largely intended to thank liv-
ing veterans for their sacrifices. It was originally called Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War I. World War I officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. However, the fighting ended about seven months before that when the Allies and
Germany put into effect an armistice on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, Nov. 11, 1918, was largely considered the end of “the war to end all wars” and dubbed Armistice Day. In 1926, Congress officially See Veterans Day, A9

teens. As such, residents should ensure that they have a home fire escape plan that accounts for waking up preteens. To ensure your family is properly alerted should a fire occur, smoke alarms should be installed inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. On levels without bedrooms, install alarms in a central location or near the stairway to the upper level.
For the best protection, interconnect all smoke alarms so that when one smoke alarm sounds they all sound. Residents can also purchase pillow or bed shakers that can be linked to smoke and CO alarms. These work by shaking the pillow or bed when the alarm sounds. Also, the use of a low-frequency alarm can wake a sleeping person with mild to severe hearing loss. — Press Release

Veterans Day
But then World War II and the Korean War happened, so on June 1, 1954, at the urging of veterans service organizations, Congress amended the commemoration yet again by changing the word “armistice” to “veterans” so the day would honor American veterans of all wars. For a while, Veterans Day’s date was changed, too, and it confused everybody. Congress signed the Uniform Holiday Bill in 1968 to ensure that a few federal holidays — Veterans Day included — would be celebrated on a Monday. Officials hoped it would spur travel and other family activities over a long weekend, which would stimulate the economy.
On Oct. 25, 1971, the first Veterans Day under this new bill was held. We’re not sure why it took three years to implement, but not surprisingly, there was a lot of confusion about the change, and many states were unhappy, choosing to continue to recognize the day as they previously had — in November.
Canada and Australia both call Nov. 11 “Remembrance Day.” Canada’s observance is pretty similar to our own, except many of its citizens wear red poppy flowers to honor their war dead. In Australia, the day is more akin to our Memorial Day. Great Britain calls it “Remembrance Day,” too, but observes it on the Sunday closest to Nov. 11 with parades, services and two minutes of silence in London to honor those who lost their lives in war.
Nearly a decade ago, a calendar change was made for Plainville Community Schools, making Veterans Day a full school day. The idea was to use the time to educate students on the significance of the holiday.

Within a few years, it became pretty apparent that most U.S. citizens wanted to celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11, since it was a matter of historic and patriotic significance. So on Sept. 20, 1975, President Gerald Ford signed another law (Public Law 9497), which returned the annual observance to its original date starting in 1978.
