The smartphone or webbased application was created in response to the need for health officials and doctors to obtain more information on COVID-19 in the face of widespread testing shortages. It only takes users about 30 seconds each day to report any symptoms they may be experiencing. The information shared has the potential to reveal outbreak hotspots and provide insight into the progression of COVID-19.

Audubon Society board member. “Certainly, there’s been a lot of interest in birds in particular. People are noticing birds more so than they ever have before.” Folsom-O’Keefe recommended the Riverbound Farm in Cheshire for nature watching. The preserve is located at 1881 Cheshire St. “It’s a pretty short trail, just about a mile, so for somebody who has not gone outdoors but is looking for a chance to experience some nature, it is a really nice walk,” Folsom-O’Keefe said. “It’s a really pretty stretch of the (Quinnipiac) river and there’s a little bit of meadow
“The way our camps have run in the past, each center has run their own traditional summer camp,” said Kate Reamer, the director of the Audobon center in Glastonbury. “The way we are going to do it this summer, all the centers across the state are working together to run this one program together … It’s a really great collaborative effort.” The program will take place
on Zoom. To avoid technical difficulties, parents are required to participate for the first 15 minutes on Monday each week. “I think that it will keep kids thinking, questioning, using their minds,” said Sarah Heminway, the director of the center at Pomfret. “We also want to keep them active. We don’t want them sitting right in front of the screen the whole time. We really want to get kids outside and exploring and exercising. In one sense we want to cultivate and nurture a love of nature, but at the same time, it’s really about good, healthy habits and mental health.” jsimms@record-journal.com 203-317-2208 Twitter: @jessica_simms99

Due to COVID-19, the Ball & Socket Arts group realized they needed to make changes to this year’s version of the event. The show will go on, however. The evening festivities will be virtual and tickets are free.
Those attending from home will be fêted with music, art, an array of entertainment, special guests, gifts and prizes. “We would love for the community to participate not only in the ‘Evening in White’ on the 16th but join together to bring arts to the It’s important to focus on family and friends, but to do community as a whole through Ball & Socket Arts so “in a safe way,” said Arai. and support the Ball & SockThe event will be held on July et Arts mission,” Arai said. 16, as participants join the Ball & Socket Arts live stream “The event is art, it’s music,

it’s fun; it’s friends and community and it’s all wrapped up in it,” Arai said. The first Ball & Socket Arts “Evening in White” was held on the grounds of the historic Brooksvale family farm, home of the descendants of the Brookes family since 1700s and where Jean McKee resides today. Historic connections were revisited in 2019 when Ball & Socket Arts pitched its high-peak white tent on the back lawn of the Cheshire Historical Society.
Signian Mcgeary was one of the guests. “I was so happy to be part of the glamour and elegance. It was a big magical party that felt so special,” she said. “Our lives are often filled with routine, obligations, duties, predictable events; but Evening in White is like a suspension of all of that for a while. I might add that the event also makes you feel good because you are supporting a worthwhile effort,” Mcgeary said.
Elaine Lau is another Cheshire resident who has attended the event. “When I think of my experience at Evening in White what comes to mind is the word ‘magical.’ A place in town that most, if not all of us, have seen is transformed into another world, one in which an outdoor dining venue is created with airy tenting and glittering lights and floral arrangements.

evening that combines elegance to the nth-degree with mystery and surprise,” said Lau. Arai first heard about the “Dinner in White” event from a television news broadcast. It was presented as mysterious and fun; people dressed in summer whites for a fabulous event whose location was not disclosed until the last minute. The element of surprise was appealing to Arai, who thought, “That is so awesome, I totally want to do that.”

She was reacquainted with the idea years later when friends in Chicago told her they signed up for a Dinner in White event. “They said they had no idea where it was being held,” she said. Coincidentally, while in Chicago visiting their son at college, Arai and her husband were driving down Lakeshore Drive, along the waterfront, and they came upon a huge crowd of people “all dressed in white.” “Here it is!” exclaimed Arai to her husband. “It’s so cool.”
“...in times like these, we can’t imagine living anywhere else!”

That prompted her to propose doing a similar event with Ball & Socket Arts. The group agreed and the event became “Evening in White.” It would feature glamour, partygoers dressed fabulously in white, scrumptious meals, entertainment, gifts and prizes staged outdoors in beautiful locations transformed into enchanting venues with lavish embellishments. Arai appreciates how the event brings friends and family together, being outdoors and enjoying nature, and “just celebrating the arts and celebrating everything that the arts can be,” she said.

Children don’t necessarily know or want to admit what is in their best interests. They may be manipulated by parents or other adults or, on the other hand, use a custody battle to manipulate their parents. For these reasons, a judge isn’t bound by a child’s preference.

any parent can do to a child. Myth #3: Shared custody eliminates any child support obligation. Even when parents share custody, the law assumes one parent will pay child support to the other parent in an amount computed using the Child Support Guidelines formula. Although each case depends on the facts, sometimes a judge may allow a lower payment to reflect child expenses paid by a parent that would have been incurred by the other parent or where parental incomes are comparable.

You have to crawl before you can plant By Joy VanderLek The Cheshire Citizen
Quick! Who knows what the “Route 10 Crawl” is? No, it is not the traffic jam that is Route 10. No, it is not a pub crawl. It is the annual pilgrimage of homeowners and gardeners who make a trip to garden centers and nurseries from one end of Route 10 to the next in Cheshire. I became aware of this Cheshire tradition when I first moved to town. My friend Sandy was the one to introduce me to the idea way back when. “What?” I asked. “People go from one greenhouse, garden center, farm market or nursery to the next?” That is a brilliant idea, I thought. Can you tell I love to garden? That’s my happy place. See Joy, A17

Some local outdoor dining options were impressed with the safety procedures.
SOUTHINGTON — At Hop Haus, the beer garden is meant to be a laid-back destination, a place where you can enjoy the summer weather and have a drink and some good food.
“I like how it’s spaced out,” Lisa Kelsey said. “You kind of forget about the worries.” Crystal Bees manager Chris Hurlock said to make up for lost table space on the existing patio, they pushed into the parking lot.
“A nice spot where you could have a couple drinks — order a beer or cocktail or non-alcoholic and just kind of relax,” said Hop Haus manager Katie Kennedy.
Capacity changes depending on the band that is playing. The restaurant/bar/entertainment center is located at 240 Spring St. “We are very COVID conscious here and keep everything in line,” he said, mentioning that tables are spaced at least six feet apart and parties are limited to five people.

EDITORIAL
Happy Independence Day! Unlike Veterans Day and Memorial Day — solemn occasions for Americans — Independence Day is a time of pure celebration. It has been that way for 242 years. According to History.com, in the summer of 1776, some colonists celebrated the birth of independence by holding mock funerals for King George III as a way of symbolizing the end of the monarchy’s hold on America and the triumph of liberty. The celebrations continued during the first public readings of the Declaration of Independence, beginning immediately after its adoption. Con-
certs, bonfires and parades were held. Cannons and muskets were fired. History.com states that even George Washington got swept up in the merriment. During the Revolutionary War, in 1778, Washington is said to have issued double rations of rum to all his soldiers to mark the anniversary of independence. Fast-forward to present day, and the revelry continues on the Fourth of July, our most patriotic holiday. There are parades, barbecues and fireworks, and lots of flag-waving.
Independence Day is a celebration, just as it was in 1776, so enjoy the festivities today, but take a moment to remember why we celebrate. Who better to encapsulate why that is than one of our Founding Fathers? Ten days before he died, on July 4, 1826, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter declining an invitation to attend the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Declaration of Independence, which had been written largely by him. In the letter, Jefferson stated: "The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view
the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God. These are grounds of hope for others. For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them." Happy Independence Day! This editorial was originally published in the Record-Journal, July 4, 2018

trek got underway a little late due to COVID-19 and the weather. Garden center owners were getting worried, and flower aficionados were biting their nails stressing about when they might get to shop, and then it happened: the nurseries opened for business. COVID-19 has, it seems, created a resurgence in gardening, a need to get our hands into the dirt and be with nature and with that, a little chill time, a little peace of mind.
From A14
Almost as soon as the nurseries opened for the season, we would get into Sandy’s car. There was an orderly system to it. She would line the trunk and backseat with something to protect the car’s upholstery and rugs. She would also bring plastic or plastic table coverings as added insurance. I would just show up. I liked that part. We were on a mission: to find plants we had our hearts set on and had put our list, as well as to go ahead and to ditch the budget when we came across an unexpected plant that stole our hearts. We would shop with abandon. We would go to Cheshire Nursery and on to Sunny Acres (remember that one), and Tower Farms and Dietrich’s. We were young(er) then, so if time allowed, we would stop at any other place that had an array of flowers or plants as we went along Route 10. One not-sosecret, secret flower stop was a greenhouse on Higgins Road. The family there sold 6-packs of annuals for a dollar. What a find! The last stop would be Curtiss Farms, a small but wonderful nursery
Contact me at jvanderlek@ record-journal.com. on Cheshire Street, just across the Cheshire line in Southington. Unfortunately, it is long gone and what was once a wonderful place to buy plants and flowers is now a subdivision. Since I had a new place to call home and there was nothing planted, save a few trees, the canvas was blank, and I immersed myself in all sorts of fun. Some years I was caught up in trees or shrubs, other times, it was flowering baskets. I would shop for amazingly large orange begonias at Tower and then break the cycle and go crazy for all the beautiful colors of daylilies or head to the herb island for basil and thyme and cilantro from Di-
etrich to put in the garden. Cheshire Nursery had phenomenal assortments of plants you could not buy anywhere else. They also had a good range of native plants.
dahlias and I joined in. She would dig them up each year, inspect them, wash them off, and label each one. That was work. What great blooms though.
As for Sandy, she is the total opposite of me. She had a list and she kept to it. She would generally buy the same type of plants each year: portulaca, a succulent, for a decorative hanging barrel at the back corner of her house, flat-leaved parsley (because she cooks), Impatiens for the shady side of the back stoop and gomphrena, a small purple flower with a spiky head for the backyard garden. I had never even heard of that one. A couple of years she went mad for
Because we have so many nurseries concentrated in a small area, I have learned about a lot of different flowers and plants thanks to the crawl. I was not the only one. I would meet friends and neighbors throughout the day. I even ran into people I used to work with from different towns while shopping at this nursery or that nursery. It seems everyone comes to Cheshire for flowers. Understandably, this year’s
