Mohegan — The Mohegan Sun Golf Club is introducing the Mohegan Sun Golf Academy this weekend at the club in Baltic, a short drive from Mohegan Sun.

Led by PGA professional Michel Painchaud, the academy will offer golf instruction and custom club-fitting programs tailored to the needs of each student, regardless of ability or experience. A $275 academy membership includes access to a new short-game area, a natural turf practice range and a golf fitness room, as well as invitations to special events throughout the season.

A total of $1.7 million was awarded by the park service for 27 maritime heritage projects in 13 states and Washington, D.C. In addition to the grants for UConn and the Seaport, a third grant was awarded in Connecticut. The SoundWaters educational program in Stamford will receive $43,500 to sponsor maritime history sails on Long Island Sound.

The park service grants were awarded in partnership with the federal Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration for projects that teach about and preserve the nation’s maritime history.

“Protecting our nation’s maritime history is an important part of the National Park Service’s mission to share America’s story,” said acting National Park Service Director Michael T. Reynolds. “These grants will support efforts to conserve important parts of our maritime history and educate students of all ages.”

The grants are funded through recycling of vessels from the Maritime Administration’s National Defense Reserve Fleet, and do not use tax dollars. The recycling program ensures that vessels are dismantled in an environmentally sound manner.

The grants will be administered by state historic preservation offices, the park service said.

The bottom line is that new technology should meet the safety standards of face-to-face service. We heard from many physicians, optometrists and ophthalmologists who urged us to take action to address patient safety, not only in regards to eye safety, but for the overall health of patients. Full eye exams are so important because they often pick up other medical problems in the process.”

A priority for the Public Health Committee, this legislation prohibits providers from:

using information obtained from a test using a remote refractive device — such as a smartphone app — as the sole basis for issuing or renewing an initial prescription for contact lenses;

issuing or renewing an initial prescription for contact lenses without having performed an in-person evaluation and eye examination of the patient.

The legislation will not limit individuals from purchasing contact lenses or glasses online after an initial examination is performed — up until renewal of the prescription is necessary, Somers said in a news release.

“This law sufficiently balances the importance of emerging technology with the complexity that comes along with good patient care and proper consumer protections provisions,” she said. “I am proud to stand in support of this law and the protections it provides Connecticut residents, and I am pleased that the governor has taken action and signed this bill into law.”
