Federal stimulus money to flow into community
NEW BUSINESS
By Nadya Korytnikova Town Times
More than $10 billion will soon flow into Connecticut as part of the American Rescue Plan — a $1.9 trillion economic relief package signed by President Joe Biden on March 11. A look inside Iron Horse Equipment, located at 152 Guilford Road in Durham.
Durham’s an Iron Horse town By Nadya Korytnikova Town Times
Durham specifically, is predicted to receive $0.71 million in municipal aid while Regional School District 13 is set to receive $472,000, according to estimates shared by Congressman John Larson’s office.
caused by the pandemic, to invest in water, sewer, and infrastructure, or to make grants to small businesses and nonprofit services. The funds will also go directly to state residents in the form of stimulus checks, unemployment payouts, and more. Individuals who have an adjusted gross income below $75,000 should be receiving $1,400, plus additional payments for any children. Married couples filing jointly must have an AGI under $150,000 to receive the full $2,800.

Municipalities can use the money to offset losses
Iron Horse Equipment, located at 152 Guilford Road, replaced the Durham Power Equipment store that closed in January after owner Stan Prusinski retired.
Proclamation shines light on rare condition
The new store specializes in agriculture and lawn equipment from Gravely, Maruyama, Ariens, Troy-Bilt, and other brands. Also, Iron Horse Equipment provides support for all outdoor power products, ranging from industrial tractors to handheld equipment. The store was originally situated on Cherry Street in Wallingford before moving to a large facility at 71 S. Turnpike Road in Wallingford. Iron Horse Equipment owner Ben Febbriello said he is excited to expand to Durham.

The Durham Board of Selectmen has proclaimed May 14 as Apraxia Awareness Day, giving recognition to a young resident with the rare disorder and bringing awareness to this little-known condition.

“We’re a small, hometown kind of store, it’s not meant to be a big corporate store. Everybody knows everybody, we are keeping it local,” he said. The business owner and his crew renovated the space, replacing damaged sheetrock, adding new lighting, painting the ceilings
and floor, adding a new wood service counter, and taking down two walls to expand the space. Office manager Christina Geremia said they wanted to give the store a more modern look. See Equipment, A12
Apraxia affects the brain’s ability to coordinate muscle movements and speech and can impact all physical movement. It can be acquired by a brain injury, such as an accident or a stroke, or can be congenital. Five years ago, Clinton Parente, 6, of Durham, was diagnosed with apraxia as well as with an intellectual disability, alacrima-achalasia syndrome. At the time of his diagnosis, Clinton was among only 13 other reported cases worldwide and the first one in the United States. “We’ve since met with doctors from across the country,” said Clinton’s mother, Heather Parente. “There’s probably around 20 cases documented now. Apraxia is part of his condition.” See Proclamation, A3

Ned Lamont released a statement applauding approval of the American Rescue Plan. “I commend President Biden, Congressional Democrats, and particularly Connecticut’s Congressional delegation for their leadership and commitment to providing long-delayed relief for millions of American families, small businesses, state and local governments, our schools and child care system, and communities struggling with the economic fallout of this pandemic. It is a remarkable achievement,” said Lamont. While a few Durham and Middlefield residents said they are planning to use their stimulus checks to pur-

Another Durham resident, Kenna Rae, said she’d rather see the economy recover and schools reopen than receive monetary aid from the government.
Several residents, including Tera Ehler, are planning to make improvements to their homes. Although Ehler and her husband have been “fortunate and employed” throughout the pandemic she said she is grateful that those most impacted by COVID-19 are receiving financial support.
“I don't want stimulus checks,” said Rae. “I want our businesses opened without restrictions — the small mom & pop businesses that
“I hope this bill marks a move not toward socialism, but toward reframing the government's role as protecting and supporting our
most vulnerable members in society, as was popular in the post-war and Great Society era, rather than prioritizing the needs of big business,” Ehler said.

I ask you to call your legislator to support Senate Bill 608, “Tristan's Law,” so that it receives swift passage.
The Barefoot Woman has been spotted Well, here we go again. My feet, once again, are causing a ruckus. I would say they have become infamous. Most folks in this neck of the woods would not be surprised that my shoes were quickly tossed aside during our recent springtime temps. “Good riddance,” I say. “Ah, freedom at last,” my tootsies say. So I took my naked appendages for a test run, walking boldly down Madison Road on a 70-degree day. I had forgotten what a commotion this often causes. One car slowed down and checked me out, apparently trying to decide what, if anything, should be done with me. Another car stopped and the man on the passenger side asked me if I needed a pair of shoes. If it had been January and there was snow on the ground, I would have said yes and been most grateful to him. However, on a warm sunny day there was no need. Which I told him. And off he went.
So I thought we were done with all of this. Apparently we were not. The next day my neighbor told me that a state trooper, seeing him out in his yard, stopped and asked him if he had seen a woman with no shoes walking by, because someone had called and reported her. Oh no, I’m going to have to go on the lam! I decided to turn myself in. I stopped at the office of our resident state trooper and told him that I am always the one these calls are about, and that I am just fine, and really, I just hate shoes, and I will be barefoot until the winter, and they will probably be getting more calls.The man could not have been any nicer. He said he was not the one who took the call, but he understands because he hates shoes, too. A kindred spirit! If you have been following my little “foot saga” over See Carr, A9

MERIDEN — The new owners of Les’ Dairy Bar are starting their first full season running the landmark ice cream spot and hope to open by the end of this month.

I anticipate a neighborhood watch, with people putting up signs that say “Lost, one pair of shoes. Please contact the Barefoot Woman.” My shoes are not lost. They are in the back of the closet, where they belong. I think the next time someone stops me, with that concerned look on their face, I will ask them what, exactly, worries them so. I’m not worried, and I don’t think they should be, either. I think the world is not ready for anyone who steps (barefoot, of course) outside the box. I should get a shirt that says, “I’m fine. I just love being barefoot.” So, dear friends, as the warm weather draws closer, you yourself may want to think about casting off those torture chambers that you call shoes. And if you want to go for a walk together, I’m game. I hope the sirens don’t bother you. You get used to them.

the years, you may recall that this is not the first time my feet have caused an uproar. This time things went smoothly for me, but past incidents have involved police sirens and interrogations and a demand for identification. I suppose I should consider myself lucky that the SWAT team wasn’t called in. The post office does not put up flyers about wanted criminals anymore, but I suspect that if they did, my feet would be up there. Have you seen these feet? Wide enough to paddle a canoe. Bunions the size of doorknobs. Toes that can’t seem to decide which way they want to go. In sore need of a pedicure, or perhaps a trip to the blacksmith.

Eversource notifies customers in advance if work is necessary on their property. As Eversource continues working to address the widespread tree mortality in Connecticut, the crisis is a shared responsibility between utilities and tree owners. The energy company reminds customers that homeowners are responsible for tree maintenance on their own property. That includes keeping branches away from the lower-voltage service wires connecting homes and businesses to the main utility lines on the street. Eversource strongly recommends customers contact a professional tree service to perform this work.

Yes, you picked up on the metaphor here. The “stepping up” goes far beyond the approach to a sink with paint-laden hands. It is in the approach to learning and inclusivity to which Hurlbert abides. “ProjectBased Learning celebrates students’ capacities to learn through exploration and experiences,” she said. “Students are encouraged to take risks, to make mistakes, to try again … final products are shared with a wider audience. The authenticity of the task is key, and it is here that students best transfer the skills they learn to a wider, lifelong context.” That wider context has garnered the respect of teachers and administrators alike. As Principal Falcone notes, Hurlbert’s “enthusiasm for the content, connections to the real world, and willingness to take risks in her teaching has created an innovative environment where learning has no boundaries.” If you weren’t already grateful that your child had Tina Hurlbert as a teacher, consider her perspective on what makes her students remarkable. “Teenagers are so much more wonderful than society often gives them credit for,” she said. “I can attest that it is a privilege to see them in a different light in my classes … one in which they are eager and happy to help, who find genuine satisfaction in doing for others, and for contributing to the larger community in a really positive way.”
