Mental health, taxes among new state laws By Susan Haigh Associated Press
HARTFORD — As revelers rang in the new year, a host of new laws took effect in Connecticut, including expanded sales taxes, mental health parity requirements for insurers, an effort to help rehabilitate more blighted properties, and extended periods between driver’s license renewals. Rod Warner, of Durham, a patron of Horseshoe Taverne, talks about the new business at 100 New Haven Road in Durham on Monday. Photos by Dave Zajac, Record-Journal
Horseshoe Taverne settles in at familiar Durham location By Bailey Wright Record-Journal staff
DURHAM — A lot has changed over the years at 100 New Haven Road, currently home to the Horseshoe Taverne. Since Time Out Taverne closed last February, the building has seen new paint, new owners, a new entrance, a new bar, and more. But it remains a place where locals like to hang out. One of those locals is Al Herzog, who lives about a mile from the restaurant. He’s lived in town for 44 years and used to frequent Time Out Taverne. Longtime Durham resident Ann Moscovics was a regular at Time Out too. When it closed, both lost

said. “It's more open than what it used to be.”
Horseshoe Taverne opened in late October 2019. Herzog and Moscovics said it’s different, but not in a bad way.
Herzog has made some new friends. He described the food as “excellent,” especially the fried brussel sprout appetizer.
“I like the atmosphere, it's nice, it's open,” Moscovics

budget into balance.” But like past governors who tried the same thing, Lamont faced strong opposition and ultimately agreed to this much shorter list of sales tax changes. Lamont and lawmakers did agree to repeal the state’s biannual $250 business entity tax, an unpopular fee charged to most businesses in Connecticut.

Blighted buildings A new law authorizes a Superior Court judge to appoint a “receiver,” an entity or a person, to take over rehabilitating or disposing abandoned properties — industrial, residential or commercial — in communities with at least 35,000 inhabitants. Interested parties can petition the court to take over a property that has been abandoned for at least a year. The legislation is considered to be another tool for municipalities to address blight. Among other things, Connecticut’s cities and towns can impose fines and special assessments on owners of blighted properties, and create agencies that can condemn abandoned and blighted buildings and transfer ownership to qualified homesteaders.
Driver’s licenses Connecticut drivers may not have to spend as
SUDOKU
A new law allows the DMV commissioner to renew driver’s licenses up to every eight years, instead of every six years. The legislation also extends the length of time between registration renewals from two years to three years. Fees for an initial license, which is limited to seven years, are $84. For an eightyear license renewal, they will be $96, which is proportionate to the $72 fee for previous initial and renewed six-year licenses. It works out to be $12 a year. Lamont has predicted the changes will lead to shorter wait times for those who need to conduct business in person at the DMV. It is part of the administration’s efforts to streamline interactions residents have with state government.
Police training The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection will now be required to expand its free training on juvenile matters for state and local police. Beginning Jan. 1, it must include techniques for handling incidents involving juveniles and adults with autism spectrum disorder, nonverbal learning disorder or cognitive impairment. Emergency medical services personnel, firefighters, police officers and others will also be required to keep a paper or electronic copy of a “communication aid” that describes techniques to serve and interact with juveniles with such impairments.

Obituaries Theodore Dyndiuk DURHAMTheodore (Ted) Dyndiuk, 84, of Durham, husband of Karen (Chittenden) Dyndiuk for fifty-seven years, passed away on December 19, 2019 in Middletown, CT. Ted was born in Hartford, CT, on June 11, 1935. He was the son of the late Alexander and Genevieve (Kaczynski) Dyndiuk. Ted was a tool and die maker at the Lee Company in Westbrook, retiring after 33 years. Ted served in the Connecticut National Guard for twenty-one years and was a member of the Connecticut State Police Auxiliary. He was a member of the Fifth Connecticut Volunteer Army (a reenactment group) and was a lifetime member of the New Haven Raccoon Club. Ted enjoyed competitive shooting, clock and watch repair, sharing his stories, had a keen interest in history (particularly wars and world leaders), was an avid gardener and enjoyed visits with his family in Maine. Many people affectionately referred to him as “Teddy Bear.”
Along with his wife, Theodore is survived by his mother-in-law, Jean Chittenden of Durham; two sisters-in-law, Julie Hunt and husband, Rick of Middletown and Anne Dyndiuk of Weatogue; two brothers-in-law, Tom Chittenden and Jay Chittenden, both of Durham and several nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, Theodore was predeceased by his daughter, Lisa Chittenden and two brothers, Alexander (Sonny) Dyndiuk and wife, Patricia and Chester (Chet) Dyndiuk. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. in the Harbor Room at Water’s Edge Center for Health & Rehabilitation, 111 Church Street, Middletown.

New owners
Tara Satrazemis, co-owner of Horseshoe Taverne, talks about the new business.
Co-owner Tara Satrazemis and Chris Giotsas took over the building last spring and started on a renovation with The Rockfall Company. Time Out’s leather booths and Fenway Park mural were taken out, and light wood furnishings, white paint and gray wooden ceiling beams were added. “Overall, we're extremely happy with the way that it
The new design could be described as modern farmhouse, warm and light. “It’s been really busy, which is fantastic,” Satrazemis said. “There's been great support from the community and from the local government.” Recently, a new menu was introduced. Dishes that weren’t popular were taken off, and a couple of new items — like shrimp scampi
What’s up next?
and a steak tip sandwich — were added.
“Before we even opened we knew that once we sort of got settled down ... that we would eventually add a brunch in,” Satrazemis said.
Sound-proofing panels were added to the dining room about a month ago, based on feedback from customers, Satrazemis said.
The menu and hours are still being determined but will be shared via the restaurant’s social media accounts. She said they’re also working with the town to address parking lot problems. When the lot fills up, customers park on the road.

that fruit bores me so. I start off with the best of intentions, buying this fruit or that. And then it all turns into the aforementioned fuzzbearing stuff in the fridge, because it has, once again, been neglected. All that good-for-me fruit just travels from Stop & Shop to my fridge to my garbage can. I don’t think it is very happy about its trajectory. It wouldn’t hurt to cut down on my viewings of Dr. Phil.
I like to think I will be brushing my long-haired kitty, Dakota, on a regular basis. I like to think that. I have been, I am somewhat ashamed to say, sorely remiss in this area. I just never think about it. She always looks so shiny and smooth. And then, overnight it

Well, I do not have high hopes for this one. Just as a reminder, you might want to mark off March 29 on your calendar. See? No high hopes for this one.

I’m afraid I may be a bit hooked, but I would like to not be. I watch it nearly every night, but I think that might not be the best thing for me. So much of it is people yelling and screaming at each other, not to mention the good doctor’s snide comments and sarcasm.
I might want to take a bit more care with my nighttime snacking. I always feel that what is on my lap, as I am perched in front of my TV, makes its way quite nicely into my mouth. But then, without thinking about it, I run my fingers along the side of the cushion, and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a cornucopia of treats that have slithered away into the dark recesses of my couch. I find popcorn and crackers and nuts, and all kinds of goodies. I hate to think I let so much as one morsel of my “yummies” slip away. On the other hand, it is like having my own little pantry, for things to be savored in the future.
seems, she is just one big wad of matted hair, which I am not able to “unwad” because I have missed my window of opportunity, and I must schlep her off to the vet so that they can work their magic on her. I really must do better.
