CIAC UPDATE
‘Game on’ for most
By Nadya Korytnikova Town Times
By Bryant Carpenter Record-Journal staff
Compared to state averages, Durham has more households with occupants over the age of 60 and fewer with school-age children.
A Connecticut high school winter sports season is officially a go. While games will start a week later than expected and there will be no state tournaments and some teams won’t compete at all, last week a modified winter season was approved by the CIAC Board of Control for basketball, ice hockey, gymnastics and boys swimming. The board determined that practices could start Tuesday, Jan. 19. That’s the start date the CIAC had been eyeing since suspending the winter season in midNovember. Games can start as early as Feb. 8. That’s a one-week delay on the projected start of Feb. 1. The postseason, slated for March 15-28, will be staged by individual conferences. It replaces the traditional state tournaments the CIAC had hoped to run March 8-21. There is a casualty in the new dateline for winter, and that’s football. The alternative season that had been set up when the CIAC canceled football in the fall, expected to run Feb. 22 through mid-April, has been eliminated. With the winter season now extending through March 28 and the spring season slated to start March 29, CIAC Excecutive Director Glenn Lungarini said the window for the alternative season grew too small.

This and other town data were presented by Kimberly Fisher, a member of Sustainable Durham, during a Board of Selectman meeting last week. “Understanding who lives in our towns provides insight into the housing and service needs for each community such as accessibility, transportation, child care and education,” said Fisher. Lyman Orchards partnered with Bradley Mountain Farm to organize a goat stroll recently. Charlotte Ponganis is pictured feeding one of the animals. Photos by Nadya Korytnikova, Town Times
Ever strolled with a goat? By Nadya Korytnikova Town Times
Lyman Orchards has partnered with Bradley Mountain Farm in Southington to bring an unusual activity to town this winter — a goat stroll. “We’re happy to bring such a unique event and provide an opportunity for the community to get outside and enjoy the farm in a safe, socially distanced way,” said Becky Critchley, events & catering director at Lyman Orchards.
Fisher stated that out of the 2,694 units in town, only 64 are considered to be affordable, which equates to about 2 percent. “In the foreseeable future we need to provide new housing choices for our aging population,” she said during the Jan. 11 meeting. “We need smaller, denser, more affordable homes with services.” About 7,248 people reside in Durham. Roughly 18 percent of householders live alone. Sixty percent live with someone over the age of 60 and 29 percent reside with someone under the age of 18.

Farmers market
Sherry Bronson, of Trey’s Barbershop at 101 Center St. in Southington was glad to hear about the discounted fees. She and her brother, who co-own the shop, pay an annual license cost of $100. “It’s great news to me,” she said. “Hey, $50 is $50. I’ll take it.”
The Durham Farmers Market will continue through the end of March. The market is held Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Durham Activity Center, 350 Main St. Use the side entrance. There is an elevator for easy access, and a stairwell. Masks are required to enter. For more information, visit farmersmarket@ townofdurhamct.org.
Health district cuts fees for restaurants, salons By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
Health board members hope a cut to annual licensing fees this year will help struggling restaurants, salons and barbershops. The Plainville-Southington Regional Health District licenses about 600 businesses, overseeing food safety and personal care hygiene. Middlefield also falls under the umbrella of the Plainville-Southington Regional Health District. Shane Lockwood, district director, suggested cutting the annual fees for those businesses in half for this year. That will mean a total savings of $50,000 to $60,000 for area businesses and a similar hit to the district’s budget. “While most (businesses’) savings are going to be in the neighborhood of $50 to $200, it might be a little bit of breathing room for one of these places,” Lockwood said. “It’s going to be a loss, obviously, to the health district but we’re going to make it up through delaying filling a position, hit-

Trey’s was closed for three months at the beginning of the pandemic, which was difficult, according to Bronson. Now that they’re allowed to reopen per state rules, customers have been coming in steadily. “It seemed to pick right back up now that we’re open,” Bronson said. The regional health district board voted in December to approve the fee reduction. Charlotte Politis, the board’s acting chairwoman, said members wholeheartedly agreed with Lockwood’s suggestion despite the cost to the district. See Fees, A6

Well, I guess I don’t have to tell you folks that things seem a bit shaky and uncertain these days. The future seems a bit murky, to say the least. Speaking for myself, I don’t seem to be able to see beyond the end of my nose. So I thought it would be fun to do an Internet search and see what the planets might have in store for us. Here are the predictions for all the zodiac signs for 2021. Maybe the planets have an inkling of what lies beyond the end of my nose.

“It’s been unbelievably hard for restaurants,” she said. “More than anything, it’s just a sign that we support them.” The vote only reduces fees for this year but Politis said they’d wait and see what next year looked like. The reduced fees are about 10 percent of the health district’s budget. “We’ll just have to work hard to make it up some time,” Politis said, adding that the loss wouldn’t be made up by increasing fees later.

er side. You may have picked fights with those closest to you. So this year try to curb those aggressive tendencies. Your friendships will benefit. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21), last year’s isolation hit you particularly hard, as you love to be the life of the party, and there were precious few of them. 2021 asks you to prioritize your health, both mental and emotional, and start tending to your own needs.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19), this year puts your career and money front and center. You will benefit from leaning into what you love and whatever brings you the greatest joy. Take risks and reap the financial rewards. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18), you are community-minded, and 2020 gave you plenty of opportunities to shine in that regard. Whether you were the organizer of your family’s Zoom’s holiday par-
ties or were involved in activism, you likely stayed so busy tending to others that you forgot your own needs. It is now time to take care of them. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20), your psychic and empathic abilities are what make you so magical. But 2020 proved to be too much for you, and you tended to retreat. It’s time to enter the world now. Also, you can expect changes in your friend group
pointments by phone or ask questions. The number is 877-918-2224. The line will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and offer a call-back option when workers are busy assisting other callers. UConn Health and Hartford HealthCare have also added phone lines for vaccine inquiries. Residents can reach UConn’s call center at 860679-8888 and Hartford HealthCare’s help line at 860-972-4993. Residents can also sign up through the Vaccine Administration Management System (VAMS). A link to that portal can be found at portal.ct.gov. Patients are asked to use the online system or to call UConn or Hartford HealthCare rather than contacting their primary care physicians. More locations for vaccine administration are expected to be added to the state’s website. Gov. Ned Lamont said he has accepted recommendations from Connecticut’s vaccine advisory group to expand Phase 1B of the rollout to include about 715,000 more people – those ages 65 to 74 and those 16 to 64 with co-morbidities such as cancer or chronic kidney disease.

“Some people don’t want to go for a walk,” said Wood. “They can certainly come to our farm and have a half-anhour snuggle session with a goat.” Although the goat stroll is
suitable for participants of all ages, many children attended the recent session at Lyman Orchards.
Wolcott resident Holli Ryan said she was excited to discover such an unusual event.
“It’s nice to have an outdoor activity, where children can interact and feed the animals especially when the weather is nice,” said Katrina Buckley of Waterbury.
“I’ve never been exposed to farm life, and the goat stroll really caught my attention, it is something so unique and different,” said Ryan.

Tickets for the next goat stroll, on Saturday, are sold out. However, Lyman Orchards might hold this event again in the future. Check out the Bradley Mountain Farm website for updates and details. nkorytnikova@ record-journal.com

The state will announce a tiered approach prioritizing each population in that phase, beginning with people 75 and older. Lamont has not said what group will be next in line. State officials estimated they are receiving about 46,000 doses of the vaccine each week to be given out as the initial shot. Two doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine are required.
Excercise: Zoom exercise classes for Middlefield/ Rockfall seniors are held Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Contact Sue D’Orvilliers to register. Need a mask?: Masks are available at the Senior & Social Services office. Call 860349-7121 to make arrangements for pick-up.

“The Connecticut Department of Public Health has worked diligently with our health care partners across the state to increase access to the vaccine, but I must continue to urge patience at this point in time,” Lamont said. “We know many people are excited to receive the vaccine and the promise of the future that comes with it, but we are limited in our ability to distribute them purely based on the amount we receive from the federal government,” he said. “We are hopeful we will see increased allocations in the coming weeks and months.”

Like the other high-risk winter sports of competitive dance and competitive cheerleading, wrestling can hold conditioning and noncontact skill practices in cohorts of no more than four.
Ultimately, the decision on if and when to play winter sports resides with individual school districts. The CIAC’s winter plan remains “fluid” based on COVID-19 data.

Another factor: Sports deemed high risk for the spread of COVID-19 have been postponed through March. That high-risk group includes football as well as wrestling. Wrestling, already postponed for winter, was holding out hope for the alternative season. Instead, at this point, like football, it will miss out on the 2020-2021 school year entirely.
ey and gymnastics will compete wearing masks. The CIAC is confident it will be able to pull off a modified season in the winter just as it did in the fall. The CIAC regards high school sports as an adjunct to education. Starting winter practices on Jan. 19 coincides with the return to inperson learning for most school districts that had gone all-remote before the holidays.

When it comes to the postseason, the CIAC is allowing leagues to expand what they did in the fall. Playoffs in that season were limited to divisions within the conferences. Full league tournaments will be allowed in the winter. The regular-season picture, though, will remain the same. As in the fall, for the sake of limiting travel and exposure, teams will play strictly within divisions of 6-8 teams.
Looking beyond the winter, the CIAC remains committed to staging a full spring campaign, complete with state tournaments, given that the entire season was cancelled in 2020. Some thought had been given to moving football and wrestling to spring, but that encountered roadblocks. For one, the National Federation of State High School Associations recently issued new guidance on spring football. If states play football this spring, the NFHS ruled, it will reduce the number of games they can play in the fall due to concussion and contact concerns. Athletes would also have to choose between sports. The CIAC does not allow athletes to play more than one sport in the same season.
And let us dig your business out. Commercial snow removal services you can count on. Call Randy Whitehouse, 860-349-1904.

Custom live edge tables, river tables, trestle bases and other wood pieces from local trees.
On the back end, the state tournaments were cancelled because CIAC postseason events require a “hard” stop date to the regular season. That would potentially limit the number of games teams get to play. It’s not a given that all schools will start playing on Feb. 8 or complete a 12-game schedule without a hitch.
The CIAC recommends spectators not be allowed into events, though it is up to individual districts to set their own policies.
