SANTA’S HELPERS

125 new cases reported in town

Marines from the Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center in Plainville teamed with the Hardware City Detachment Marine Corps League and the Plainville Wind Ensemble on a successful Toys for Tots collection Nov. 15 at Plainville High School. The toys will be distributed to local children in need. Last Christmas, the Marines’ Toys for Tots program pulled in 41,499 toys for Connecticut youngsters.

Overnight parking ban is in effect Plainville’s overnight parking ban went into effect Tuesday, Dec. 1. The ordinance states that it shall be unlawful from Dec. 1 to April 1 for the owner or operator of a motor vehicle to allow such vehicle to stand on any street in the Town of Plainville for more than

Thursday, December 3, 2020

one hour between the hours of 12 midnight and 6 a.m. on any given day. Any violator of this article shall be fined $50 for each offense and, in addition, shall pay for the towing, moving, parking and storage of any vehicle removed in accordance with this article.

Plainville, and nearly every other Connecticut municipality, remains in the coronavirus red zone. The color coded status for cities and towns represents two weeks of cases. The trigger for red status starts at a rate of 15 cases per 100,000 people per day. The state’s most recent report, issued Nov. 30, showed 125 positive cases in Plainville. That works out to an average of

50.7 daily cases per 100,000 people. Plainville first shifted to red status on Nov. 5. The changes that come with the red designation include issuing a public health alert, advising high risk people to stay home, limiting trips outside of the home and gatherings with non-family members, and canceling public events.

YMCAs adjust to new guidelines

Kitchen & Bath (860) 719-6260

AWARDKB.com

______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________

The guidelines mandate masks at the YMCA at all times, something Wallingford had already self-imposed since Nov. 13. Prior to masks being mandated at all times at Connecticut’s YMCAs, members were allowed to take off their masks while working out as long as they maintained a 12-foot distance from others. Jay Jaronko, Southington Branch Executive Director at the Southington-Cheshire Community YMCA, was hoping there would be some leeway for the YMCA’s youth sports programs. “Right now, our swim and youth sports programs fall

into the pause until January 19,” Jaronko said. “We are engaging with the state to get some clarity for changes for lower-risk sports. We think the sports we offer are lower risk with small groups and drill clinics for very young kids. We are all on pause now and working with the state to see if there’s something we can do. “We are all on board to stop this virus,” Jaronko added. “We are just seeing if there’s some leeway that helps us continue these programs.” Sean Doherty, Executive Director of the Wallingford Family YMCA, said the Wallingford Dolphins swim program will be in dry dock until Jan. 19. In Meriden, John Benigni, CEO of the Meriden-New Britain-Berlin YMCA, said his facility is still open and still offering swimming and

gymnastics lessons, but everything with a team aspect is on a pause until Jan. 19. Those team sports include basketball, swimming and volleyball. Benigni said hundreds of children will be impacted in some capacity at his facility and added that the YMCA has also been using virtual platforms to remain in touch with children and families since the pandemic hit. In an email to its members, the Wheeler YMCA in Plainville stated that “out of an abundance of caution for the safety and well-being of our members and staff” its mask rules have been updated. Now, masks must be worn at all times within the facility “including when on cardio equipment and in group exercise classes. Masks may be removed Schedule Your while in water.” Schedule Schedule Your Your

Troopers make 29 DUI arrests during holiday MIDDLETOWN — Connecticut troopers responded to 376 accidents on state highways and charged 29 people with driving under the influence during beefed-up enforcement efforts over the Thanksgiving holiday period, state police said Monday.

Seven people were killed in crashes from early Wednesday morning, Nov. 25 through Sunday night. Two people died early Sunday morning in a two-car crash on Route 8 in Waterbury. Nov. 25, two men died in a wrong-way crash on Interstate 95 in Clinton. Fatal accidents also were reported in Southbury, Glastonbury and Pomfret.

Troopers cited 211 drivers for speeding, 106 for seatbelt violations and 775 for various other violations including using cell phones without hands-free devices and tailgating. Arrests and citations were down from the same time last year, when troopers charged 52 people with driving under the influence, cited 385 for speeding, issued more than 1,250 citations for other violations and investigated 593 accidents. Two people were killed in two separate crashes. — Associated Press

Lamont: $10K fines on businesses that break virus rules HARTFORD — A small number of flagrant violations and concerns about the holiday shopping season has prompted Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont to impose a steep new $10,000 fine on businesses that break the state’s coronavirus rules. The new fine replaces the current $500 maximum penalty, the Democratic governor announced last week. A small number of restaurants have been cited for essentially operating as bars, which have been ordered closed during the pandemic.

“While the overwhelming majority of businesses in Connecticut have shown an incredible amount of leadership and have been fantastic partners in this front, we have seen a small number of businesses in flagrant violation of these public health rules, and that’s all you need to cause a super-spreading event that leads to a large number of cases and hospitalizations,” Lamont said in a statement.

Join us for a free virtual class

The governor said the harsher fine was the result of concerns by municipal leaders, public health officials and people in the business community. He also cited concerns about keeping workers and customers safe during Black Friday and the rest of the holiday shopping season.

The state has an array of rules on businesses during the pandemic. Restaurants, for example, are limited to 50 percent capacity, a maximum of eight people per table and must stop inside dining service at 9:30 p.m. Local health directors or other municipal officials can issue the fines with the support of police. — Associated Press

COVID From A1

Connecticut’s coronavirus hospitalizations topped 1,000 as of Friday, Nov. 27 with 1,107 — the highest level since the pandemic’s first wave in May. Experts fear that Thanksgiving will prompt another sharp upward trend in cases, but it will take a week or two for case counts to show whether that happened. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “People with COVID19 can have mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms

can appear two to 14 days after being exposed to the virus. Symptoms can include: cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever or chills, muscle or body aches, sore throat, headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, runny nose or stuffy nose, fatigue, recent loss of taste or smell. Children have similar symptoms to adults and generally have mild illness.” — Citizen report Business Owner / Service Provider?

Nearly 80% turnout in Nov. 3 election HARTFORD — A record 1.86 million Connecticut residents voted in the Nov. 3 election, a turnout of nearly 80% of registered voters despite concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, state officials announced last week.

“The smooth, trouble-free election is a testament to the hard work of Connecticut’s registrars, town clerks, and the tens of thousands of Connecticut citizens who stepped up to be democracy heroes and work at the polls on Election Day,” Merrill said in a statement.

The election results that produced wins for Joe Biden in the presidential race and five fellow Democrats in all the state’s congressional races were officially certified by Secretary of the State Denise Merrill, state Treasurer Shawn Wooden and state Comptroller Kevin Lembo.

More outstanding cancer care. Right in your neighborhood.

About 185,000 more people voted this year than in 2016, when turnout was nearly 77%. This year’s turnout was officially 79.7% of a record 2.3 million registered voters. The second-highest turnout in recent presidential elections in the state was 78.7% in 2004. Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris beat President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence by 20 percentage points in Connecticut.

This was the first year all state residents were allowed to vote by absentee ballot, due to the pandemic. Just over 659,000 absentee ballots were counted.
