Thanks to Apples AirPods, truly wireless earbuds have exploded in popularity in the last few years. The non-Apple alternatives range from bad to good and cheap to expensive, with no correlation implied. Today, were going to talk about a mid-range set of Bluetooth TWS earbuds aimed at a different niche. The Huami Amazfit PowerBuds are priced at $100 and come with some interesting features as well as a fitness-focused gimmick. But how are they? Do they sound good? Do they fit well?

Lets find out!

Along with the Amazfit PowerBuds earbuds themselves and the charging case, theres a pack of replacement tips of various sizes, a short USB-C charging cable, and an incrediblythick user guide in the box.

Shifting focus over to the case: Its not too flashy and is easy to open and shut. On the back, theres a USB-C port for charging. On the front, theres an indicator light that tells you the charging and pairing status of the earbuds. There are also some magnets that help you seat the earbuds in the case and keep the lid closed. On the topic of the lid, there are a couple of ear hooks hiding in it. These stick to the earbuds using magnets and are useful if youre moving around a lot and want the earbuds to stay in your ears. Its certainly nice to have them as an option.

Finally, on to the Amazfit PowerBuds themselves. Theyre kind of bulky. Instead of the standard pod and tip assembly, theres an extra bit on both that makes them stick out more than other earbuds. There is a reason for this, though. The right earbud has a heart rate sensor on it, and both earbuds have sensors to detect whether theyre in your ear or not.

Regarding the software and setup process: They were anything but smooth when I first set these up. To get the Amazfit PowerBuds properly set up, you need to download the Amazfit app and use it to pair them to your device. To use the Amazfit app, you need to make an Amazfit account which is where I ran into problems. The first few days of trying, I just couldnt log in. I would press the sign-in button and the app would say something about importing data for five minutes, and then it would just give me some generic message about an error. Once I finally managed to log in, it took me about five tries before I could actually pair the earbuds to the app.

Now, its possible there was just a problem with the earbuds and they needed to be factory reset, but I dont see a way to do that unless youre signed into the Amazfit app itself. The instruction manual doesnt say anything about factory resetting, and the online support page is blank.

Of course, its possible to pair and use the Amazfit PowerBuds just like any other Bluetooth earbuds. However, the app gives you some useful features like changing what the different tap gestures do, changing the internal equalizer in the earbuds, and, of course, reading your heart-rate. Thats right, these earbuds can read your heart rate, and this feature is one of its major selling points. Well talk more about that later, though. Finally, the Amazfit PowerBuds are IP55-rated. This means that, while you shouldnt be using them underwater, a run through the rain or a super sweaty workout session wont cause any issues.

Overall, my first impressions of the Amazfit PowerBuds werent terrible, but I wouldnt say they were great, either. When a major feature of your product is almost inaccessible because of problems in your software, it really doesnt do you any favors.

Anyway, onto the controls!

The Amazfit PowerBuds are similar to plenty of other true-wireless earbuds in terms of controls. Each earbud has a capacitive touchpad on it that can be tapped in different ways to complete different actions. Unfortunately, the controls are not nearly as extensive as competing truly wireless earbuds.

At the time of writing this, the only gestures I know exist are:

Single tapping doesnt seem to do anything nor does long pressing or swiping. Interestingly, the product page for the Amazfit PowerBuds claims that the earbuds have single and double tap gestures, which as far as I can see, isnt the case. Maybe there are plans to add a single-tap gesture in a future firmware update.

By default, a double tap on either earbud will turn the Thru-Mode on or off. Thru-Mode uses the earbuds microphones to relay outside audio to you. Its a bit of a weird feature to have for earbuds that dont support active noise cancellation, though. A triple tap on either earbud will play or pause the active audio stream.

Luckily, you can customize the gestures on a per-earbud basis. You can choose from any of the following actions:

(To answer and end calls, the gesture is a hardcoded double-tap.)

Personally, I have my gestures set to play/pause on a double tap and previous/next on a triple tap, since I mainly use my earbuds for listening to music or watching videos.

Even though the existing gestures are pretty customizable, the gesture detection is frustratingly not very good. Triple taps have sometimes registered as double taps, double taps failed to be recognized at all, etc. Its not a fun experience, and Ive even seen competing (and cheaper) options offer more gestures, so its really hard to justify this. For example, the Tronsmart Spunky Beat has single, double, and triple tap gestures, along with multiple long-press actions that execute depending on the length of the press. Hopefully, Huami will issue an update allowing us to use more gestures (and to fix the current ones). Until then, this is a bit of a sore point.

The tap gestures arent the only controls here, though. Each earbud has a detection window to check if its in your ear or not. When you remove one or both of the earbuds, the pause action is sent to your device. They also will tell your device to resume playback when reinserted. This feature actually works pretty well. With the Amazfit PowerBuds paired with my Galaxy Note9, music pauses and plays almost immediately. On my Realme X3 SuperZoom, the resume feature doesnt work, but thats seemingly a ColorOS issue.

Finally, theres a button on the case itself. Positioned front and center when you open the lid, this button is used for initiating pair mode. Holding it down for three seconds causes the status light to rapidly fade in and out and lets you connect to the earbuds from a new device.

To be frank, theres some room for improvement here. The iffy gesture detection combined with the limited number of said gestures makes for a not-so-pleasant phone-free experience.

In the Controls section, I talked a little bit about the button on the case thats used for starting the pairing process: I dont like this decision. In my opinion, you shouldnt have to go find the case and put the earbuds in it just to connect to a new device. I know this is somewhat standard, but switching Bluetooth earbuds among devices is annoying enough. I dont see why I need to put the earbuds back in the case and then press a button on it before I can switch the connection. Im of the opinion that using the earbuds should only involve, well, using the earbuds.

Now for the interesting part of the Amazfit PowerBuds: the heart-rate sensor. Yes, these earbuds can tell you how fast your heart is beating (theoretically). The right earbud has an extra sensor on it for this. Open the Amazfit app, start a workout, and your heart rate will be reported to you along with things like how far youve run/walked and how long youve been going.

This is a really neat feature, but its just not reliable. In my testing, the reading jumps all over the place: from 95 to 105 bpm just by taking a step; 110 bpm after running up some stairs, and then 130 bpm three minutes later; back to 100 bpm after sitting still for a few minutes. Comparing to my Galaxy Note9s heart-rate readings (remember that feature? I didnt), the PowerBuds were reporting either way too high or way too low. This might be a useful feature for very general interpretations, but its not accurate enough for anything detailed.

In terms of comfort, the Amazfit PowerBuds are actually pretty good. I mentioned that theyre pretty bulky a few sections ago, but it honestly isnt a problem. Ive had them in my ears for over four hours straight without issues. My ears dont start hurting with them in, and they dont just fall out on their own. I dont think this is enough to outweigh the other usage problems Ive encountered, but its not all bad.

Lastly, an annoying little quirk: when connected to a Windows computer, the Amazfit PowerBuds break some audio streams. Things like game audio and Discords sound effects just dont come through. Granted, this could be a Windows interoperability issue, but it hasnt happened on any other pair of Bluetooth earbuds Ive used.

Huami claims a battery life of about 8 hours on a single charge (with the heart rate sensor on), and as far as I can tell, this is accurate. Because of the pandemic, I havent had as much opportunity to use any earbuds for very long periods of time. But Ive had no issues with the battery life on the Amazfit PowerBuds. Playing games, listening to music, whatever. I havent run into the low battery warning.

If 8 hours isnt enough for you, the charging case provides an extra two charges in it, meaning you can use the Amazfit PowerBuds for up to 24 hours total before you need to find an outlet.

In terms of charging, Huami claims a charge time of 15 minutes will get you playback time of 3 hours (with the heart rate sensor off). Unfortunately, I havent had a chance to test that, but I see no reason to doubt it. While thats not as fast as some of the competing wireless earbuds out there, its certainly not slow, and its a nice feature to see here. Huami doesnt specify a total time-till-charged, but I think its safe to say that an hours worth of charging will bring the earbuds up to 100%.

Continuing this positive trend, lets talk about sound quality.

The Amazfit PowerBuds produce good quality sound. They get loud, theres plenty of bass if you like that, and higher frequencies dont get overpowered by the bass. By default, theyre a little too heavy on the bass for my liking, but theres a pretty easy solution to that. If you use the Amazfit app, theres an equalizer you can set. This isnt just a phone-specific equalizer, either. When you save your settings, the app saves them to the earbuds themselves. Set your preferred equalization in the app, and thats what the earbuds will use no matter what you connect to. Personally, I love this feature. So many Bluetooth earbuds come with different equalizer modes for different scenarios like music or gaming. But nothing beats being able to set the audio exactly how you like it.

While the Amazfit PowerBuds dont have any sort of active noise cancellation, they do have pretty good noise isolation. These are rubber-tipped earbuds, so they make a pretty good seal inside your ears. That means you can play your music pretty loudly without annoying other people, and that what youre listening to wont have to compete too much with background noises. Of course, if you do want to properly hear the outside world, you can always turn on Thru-Mode. Thru-Mode is basically Apples Transparency Mode, which uses the microphones in the earbuds to pass outside sound through to you. On these earbuds, though, its not very good. Its artificially loud, it sounds terrible, and its delayed. Its there if you want it, but Im not a fan.

In terms of microphone quality, each earbud has its own microphone that enables the previously mentioned Thru-Mode. You can also use them for voice calls if you want, but I wouldnt recommend anything beyond a standard phone call. In a Discord voice call, I was told the microphone sounds consistently worse than my laptops internal one. Its pretty clear the microphones are really only designed for traditional phone calls, which is a little disappointing, but understandable.

If you live in the U.S., you can currently buy the Amazfit PowerBuds on Amazon for $99.

Buy the Huami Amazfit PowerBuds from Amazon |||Amazfit PowerBuds Product Page

In my view, this is a lot of money to ask for truly wireless earbuds with these features. Is it worth it?

I dont think I can recommend buying the Amazfit Powerbuds, at least not at their full price of $99.

While the sound quality and battery life are good, its possible to get earbuds with these features at much lower prices. Add to that the other issues like poor gesture recognition and the iffy onboarding process, and youve got a bit of a frustrating combination. And thats ignoring that the main gimmick of the Amazfit PowerBuds, the heart rate sensor, doesnt seem to even be accurate most of the time. These earbuds also arent the only IP55-rated options out there, so I wouldnt even consider that a saving grace.

Not all hope is lost, though. In the time Ive had them, the Amazfit PowerBuds have received two firmware updates. Im not entirely sure what they were for since theres no changelog that I can find and they didnt fix any of the issues Ive had. But if Huami is serious about supporting these earbuds, its possible well see some updates that expand on the limited gestures or improve the initial setup. That doesnt mean you should buy them, though, at least not now. It doesnt make sense to buy something for $100+ on the possibility that itll improve.

Illinois moves into the next phase of its reopening plan on Friday.

The guidelines allow movie theaters, zoos, museums and health and fitness centers to reopen with limited capacity. Restaurants will be able to offer in-door dining and gatherings of 50 people or fewer will be permitted.

Schools and child care programs with social distancing policies in place can also reopen. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans can return to work.

"The battle is not over," said Pritzker, "but so much progress has been made. If we continue to follow the path the doctors recommend we can continue our march towards more normalcy."

Pritzker said because residents followed guidelineswearing face masks, frequently washing their hands, staying home and practicing social distancingthere's been more than a 60 percent decline in the number of coronavirus deaths per day in Illinois from a peak six weeks ago. There also has been a deeper drop in the percentage of new cases.

Any pride in success, he added, must be tempered by grief.

Thursday, the state reported 894 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the overall total to 139,434. The state reported 41 new fatalities; the number of Illinois residents who've lost their lives to the pandemic is 6,810. At the same time, Illinois set a single day testing record, conducting more than 31,000 for the first time.

Illinois expands its reopening just as coronavirus surges worsened in several other states. Arizona, California and Texas are among those that saw drastic increases in recent days, with some governors saying they might have to slow reopenings to try to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Pritzker said he expects there will be some difficulty in Illinois, too, as the state reopens and warns he won't hesitate to impose restrictions if there's a rise in cases.

However, Illinois Public Health Director Ngozi Ezike said for now, Illinois residents deserve praise.

"You did it!," she said at a Thursday press conference. "Illinois is being touted across the country of getting it right."

Even so, Ezike said the virus persists and people are still being infected and dying. She likened the refusal by some to wear facemasks to playing a game of Russian Roulette.

"The stakes are high," she said. "Let's not gamble with coronavirus. We don't even know the long-term effects of COVID-19, what might happen to our lungs five years from now after being infected."

Dr. Emily Landon, the executive medical director for infection prevention at the University of Chicago, worries that some consider wearing a mask a political statement. She said they aren't, "unless there's a political statement on them."

She calls facemasks "a piece of fabric that covers a part of your body that needs to be protected like gloves in the winter," adding that, Illinois residents should be able to get used to them, just like she did when she first became a physician.

In Illinois and elsewhere, COVID-19 has hit areas with large Black and Latinx residents disproportionately hard. Carlos Nelson is a community leader in Chicago's Auburn-Gresham neighborhood. He urged everyone to take the next phase of the Illinois reopening seriously and for community leaders to set an example.

"We must do our part to maintain a level of awareness that the coronavirus is still real without a vaccine," he said.

Illinois Cautiously Reopens Zoos, Movie Theaters And Other Businesses : Coronavirus Live Updates - NPR

Its been 95 long days since the treadmills and weight benches of Chicagos fitness centers fell silent thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. But this Friday, gyms in Illinois will be allowed to reopen and welcome back the fitness faithful with open and well-toned arms.

AtPower Fitnessin the Roseland neighborhood on the South Side, owners Jimmie and Kisha Williams say their clientele is anxious to get back into the boot camp, martial arts and cardio boxing classes they offer. In addition to marking spacing around equipment, theyre doing temperature checks at the door and sanitizing the rooms after every class. Once a week, an EPA-certified company will do a deep cleaning. Classes are being held at 25% capacity, so the Williamses are adding more classes to the schedule to allow more members to attend. For the time being, wearing a mask is mandatory in common areas.

Staff will wear masks for the entire time. Once the participant comes in and gets settled they can take their mask off if they want to once theyre in their stations, but if theyre moving about the gym they will have to put their mask back on, said Kisha Williams.

At theRetro Fitnessfranchise in the Irving Park neighborhood, general manager Harold Coleman says that in preparation for reopening this Friday, there is a no-touch check-in procedure, gloves and fanny packs to hold personal items are being offered to members, and staff are wearing masks and gloves around the clock. Sitting areas and showers have been temporarily closed, and lockers are being spaced apart. Theyve also spaced out equipment and reduced class size.

Known for yoga and barre, the Catalyst Fitness is now operating a virtual studio.

Water polo playerMaggie Steffens isgearing up for the2021 Olympics.

Maggie Steffens

At age 16, when most of us were just figuring out how to merge onto the freeway, Maggie Steffens was on the U.S. Olympic water polo team.

That was 11 years ago, and Steffens had her sights set on her third Olympic tripand third gold medalthis summer, but the Monte Vista grad, like so many others, has had her dream deferred.

I knew postponing the Olympics was the right thing to do, she says, but thats not to say it didnt affect me and my teammates. I definitely went through an emotional roller coaster.

But it didnt take long for Steffens, named the best womens water polo player in the world in 2018 by Swimming World, to get back on track.

We still have our teammates and coaches, she says, and keeping them in mind helps me stay focused and motivated. Each day, I have a routine to keep my body healthy and strong, whether its running, biking, lifting, or yoga.

Steffens has always been a hard worker. This is one reason shes survived in the rough-and-tumble world of water polo, which includes so much underwater physicality that players wear two swimsuits, in case one gets torn off.

Adam Krikorian, her coach with Team USA, has no concerns about her staying in shape until she can compete again. Her work ethic and dedication set her apart, he says. Shes a professional in terms of taking care of her body.

The always-positive Steffens is already thinking about 2021. The Games are still on, our dreams are still on, and the team is still on, she says. The Olympics are just a different date.

Julie Sebastian had no idea what to do with herself upon graduating from Elizabethtown College in 2012.

Finding a career doing something she enjoyed was no simple task. Her career as a four-year college pitcher was complete. She would soon find her first real job and stuck with it for a year, but she wasn't feeling it. She was bored and unhappy.

Sebastian had bigger goals for herself, which she couldn't attain while sitting in an office chair working the standard 9-to-5 shift five days a week.

The Marple Newtown alumna and All-Delco pitcher knew she needed to make a change. She missed softball ... and wanted to get back in the game.

"I was lost and felt like I was walking around with my head cut off," Sebastian said. "I wanted to do more, so I started giving pitching lessons on the side for fun. A couple months later it grew to a couple more girls, and then a couple more girls, and then before I knew it there were a lot of girls I was giving lessons to. I thought then that I could turn this into something real instead of just a hobby."

For the last six years, Julie Sebastian Softball and Fitness Instructions, LLC, has been a home for young softball players aiming to become better players. Sebastian has turned her hobby into a thriving small business in Delaware County. Her facility, located in the Newtown Square Shopping Center, will re-open on a full-time basis when Delco moves to the green phase of Pennsylvania's re-opening plan Friday.

Sebastian, who is American Counsel of Exercise certified and a coach at CrossFit Delaware Valley in Broomall, implores her students to take fitness seriously. That's why she feels it's important to incorporate strength and conditioning to her pitching and hitting lessons. Her resume as a fitness trainer obviously makes her uniquely qualified to help young girls get into the habit of exercising on a daily basis.

"Some girls just want the pitching, but I definitely make sure that during our lessons I am telling them how important it is to make sure they're exercising, building strength, and improving their conditioning. And also eating healthy, that's super important," Sebastian said. "I try to get an idea of how the kids are doing, how their fitness is coming along during the week and if they're fueling their body, if they're drinking enough. It definitely plays a big part."

Sebastian has offered virtual lessons during the pandemic. Her client base includes roughly 50 young players searching for ways to improve their skills, on and off the field. Sebastian brings the whole package. One of Sebastian's pupils is Cardinal O'Hara All-Delco Maggie Loomis, who will pitch at Alvernia next spring.

"Since I do have a physical space I, unfortunately, had to shut down my facility like all the other small businesses. It was very nerve-wracking in the beginning, but luckily we have FaceTime and Zoom," Sebastian said. "I threw out the option that I was going to start offering virtual pitching lessons during the hiatus. I would say about half of my clients took me up on it, and over the three-month period, I had half of my girls stay with me for virtual pitching lessons. It was amazing to be able to keep in touch with them ... and it was so nice to see them virtually and be able to work with them. "I do fitness instruction, but not as much as the pitching lessons."

During the COVID-19 shutdown, word spread around that Sebastian is pretty good at what she does for a living. Coaches for the Delco Chaos tournament team reached out to her about teaching lessons to their players, who are dedicated full-time to the sport and aspire to play at a high level in college.

"The kids did the session, they liked it and they asked to do it twice a week. I put a post up on Facebook and it spread like crazy. Within the next two weeks I had about 10 different teams reaching out to me, asking for the same thing. By the end of the three-month period, I was working with 10 teams during the week doing the Zoom sessions, which were amazing," Sebastian said. "It was so much fun to be able to switch gears and help them stay in shape during the time off and I also think it was great for them to bond with their teammates during the down time."

Sebastian's self-made attitude has resulted in a few accolades. In March, she earned the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce SCORE Small Business of the Year award. SCORE Chester and Delaware Counties, which provides free professional advice for business entrepreneurs such as Sebastian, presented her with a similar award in 2019.

Not too bad for a 29-year-old who admitted to feeling "lost" not too long ago.

"My grandfather (John) was a SCORE volunteer. When I was really little I remember going with him to his office and sitting there in the background while he met with aspiring entrepreneurs to help them start their business," she said. "He was the inspiration. He's not with me anymore, but every time I got an award from SCORE, I thought he would be so proud of me. Just making that choice to go out on my own and try to build this thing from nothing, the fact that I have so many people in my corner is the best feeling ever. That's the reason why I've been successful. It's all the people that have helped me along the way, from coaches to all the parents who have trusted me to work with their girls, the people from SCORE, and my friends and family who have always believed me. It's a great feeling."

Sebastian is taking necessary precautions to ensure her students are safe while working out at her facility amid the coronavirus pandemic. Her instruction lessons are intimate, with no more than five people in the space at a given time.

"Luckily my space is big enough that I'm able to have a safe distance between the catchers and pitchers," she said. "I have eight-foot plastic barriers to separate the catcher and the pitcher, along with the divider nets that I have, so that creates even more separation. I have no-touch Purell dispensers and soap dispensers. We are always cleaning the softballs. It's super controlled. Keeping things a little more contained will prevent some things from happening. It's a safe place to come work out and play softball."

You can find Sebastian's business on Facebook and at juliesebastianpitching.com.

Wilton fitness clubs, restaurants are back in the game

WILTON Whether you are craving a workout at a gym, or a plate of Rigatoni Norma at your favorite Wilton restaurant, you can now have both.

Phase 2 of the states business reopening plan started June 17, and allows fitness centers and gyms, which have been closed since March, to reopen, and restaurants to offer indoor dining.

Businesses have been opening in stages in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. After the start of Phase 2, Gov. Ned Lamont said about 95 percent of the states economy will be able to be up and running.

To reopen, gyms, sports clubs and fitness centers can only operate at 50 percent capacity.

Establishments that require customers to wear a mask while exercising must maintain six feet of space between equipment. Establishments that do not require customers to wear a mask while exercising must maintain 12 feet of space between equipment.

Wilton fitness centers and gyms that are open again include CT Fitness Lab, Personal Training Pro, The Pilates Advantage in Wilton, Wilton Fit Body Boot Camp, and Wilton Sport and Fitness Club.

Mary Beth Young, owner of The Pilates Advantage in Wilton at 414 Olmstead Hill Road/Route 7, was guardedly optimistic about her studios reopening. About 40 percent of my clients have scheduled appointments, even some senior citizens, she said.

Young is taking steps to maintain personal safety at her business. She takes everyones temperature at the door and makes sure people are six feet apart in the studio.

After fitness centers were closed by the state in March, Young had questions about reopening and moving forward. Theres no balance with this thing. A lot of people are still concerned it may come back and we will have to close. But how long can a business stay closed and keep its doors open? she asked.

Dylan and Brunetta Cathers, owners of Wilton Fit Body Boot Camp in the Wilton River Park Shopping Center, are also guardedly optimistic about their business. Throughout the pandemic, they have been offering virtual workouts to their clients.

They are now offering a limited number of morning sessions and will be adding more morning and evening sessions in upcoming weeks.

About one-third of our clients cant wait til they get back in, another third want to wait a few weeks to see how things shake out, and then another third are waiting for a vaccine, Dylan Cathers said.

Peter Zaffina, manager at PTP Personal Training Professionals, also in the Wilton River Park Shopping Center, is excited to be reopening and says his business is offering a special deal for three training sessions and a nutritional consultation.

Karen Wingate, owner of Synergy Barre Studio at 22 Center Street, said she has decided to keep her studio closed temporarily for the time being. We are a small boutique and many of our clients are not interested in wearing masks, she said.

To accommodate her clients, Wingate is offering Synergy Barre classes via Zoom, which she said her clients are enjoying.

Two other studios remain temporarily closed, but without further updates as to their status.

Anytime Fitness at 84 Danbury Road is temporarily closed, according to a recorded phone message.

In March, when Lamont closed all fitness centers in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Anytimes manager, Cecelia Laskauskas, sounded hopeful about reopening.

Lets shut everything down and stay home. The sooner we do that and contain the virus, the sooner we can all reopen, she told The Bulletin at the time.

HiiTKICK Fitness Studio at 27 Danbury Road is closed temporarily until further notice, according to a message on its website.

One Wilton fitness center has announced it has closed permanently. JoyRide Cycling & Fitness has put the brakes on its studio at 3 Godfrey Place.

JoyRide opened in Wilton in 2015 and hosted a number of Spinraiser fundraisers for local charities and nonprofits, including Animals in Distress, Change of Heart, and ABC (A Better Chance).

Owner Amy Hochhauser announced the closing of JoyRide in a letter to her clients.

We know that this is heartbreaking for our Wilton riders and staff. We, too, are incredibly sad. However, in order for JoyRide to survive this crisis, we must decrease our expenses and consolidate our resources in our Connecticut region. The silver lining here is that by making this difficult choice, we can confidently reopen our other four Connecticut locations in a sustainable way to support our team and satisfy our commitments. This includes Westport, Darien, Ridgefield, and New Haven.

Wilton clients can use their remaining credits from JoyRide at those other locations.

Many Wilton restaurants and eateries are now open for inside dining. To open, they must follow state guidelines by limiting the number of guests, maintaining social distancing, and taking hygiene and safety precautions.

In Phase 2, the maximum indoor capacity is 50 percent of the restaurants regular indoor seating capacity.

Outdoor dining is still encouraged as long as the restaurant does not exceed its regular operating capacity and physical distancing can be maintained.

Wilton restaurants open for business inside and outside are: Aranci 67, Bianco Rosso, Cactus Rose, Craft 14, Marlys, Orems Diner, Red Rooster Pub, and Wilton Pizza.

Little Pub and Naked Greens are now open for inside dining. Because of their locations on Danbury Road, they were unable to open in Phase 1 for outside dining.

Connecticut Coffee & Grill at 16 Center Street, has 20 inside tables, but for now is not offering inside dining. It is, however, still doing takeout and outside dining.

Two coffee shops in Wilton, Starbucks at 21 River Road and Dunkin Donuts at 35 Danbury Road, are open for takeout service only and neither is offering indoor or outdoor dining at this time. Parlor Pizza & Bar at Wilton River Park is also open for takeout only, according to its website.

However another coffee shop, Tusk & Cup at 152 Old Ridgefield Road, is open for both inside and outdoor dining as well as takeout.

The fine dining restaurant Schoolhouse at Cannondale at 34 Cannon Road has a recorded message on its phone describing how to make a reservation. However, the restaurants website says it is temporarily closed, we expect to do some pop-up events soon.

For hours of operation, reservation information, and menus, visit individual restaurant websites and their social media pages.

The fitness area at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center has delayed its reopening after a court order stopped all gyms from opening across the state.

There is no set date for it to be available again to the community.

The court ruled in favor of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who believes it is not prudent to allow gyms to operate until the spread of COVID-19 is more under control. Further legal action is expected before the issue is resolved.

The Center had announced on June 23 that it would reopen the fitness area in a modified configuration and with safety protocols in place on June 29.

Meanwhile, the neighborhood pool at Ten Eyck Park opened June 24.

The new outdoor pool at Ford Woods Park is expected to open soon, with the expectation it will be operating no later than early July.

The three free splash pads at Crowley, Hemlock and WhitmoreBolles parks opened June 20, and Camp Dearborn opened on June 21 with modified camping and limited services.

In city parks, basketball courts, playgrounds, tennis courts, picnic shelters and comfort stations are now available. Walking paths never closed.

Details for the anticipated opening of The Center

Once the fitness area is allowed to reopen at The Center, its hours are expected to 5:30 a.m. till 9:30 p.m. weekdays, 8 a.m. till 8 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. till 6 p.m. Sunday.

Masks will be required to enter and exit The Center, and on the walking track above the gym, as well as in all public areas. Social distancing will be required.

The Center has been professionally sanitized. The fitness area will be cleaned periodically throughout the day. Patrons will be advised to wipe off their machines and weights before and after each use. Hand sanitizer will be available. Gloves are encouraged.

To accommodate social distancing, group exercise classes will be held in the ballroom, spinning classes will be in Studio A, and a large number of pieces of cardio equipment have been moved into the gym.

Remaining closed are the climbing wall, swimming pool, locker rooms, the theater, and conference rooms. The gym is not available for basketball.

The lobby restrooms across from the service desk will be open.

Members of The Center will be notified regarding adjustments of their fees.

Residents who are not members will be allowed to pay a daily entry fee to use the fitness area of The Center, as usual.

For more information about recreational facilities, call the Dearborn Recreation Department service desk at 313-943-2350.
