Racial justice group holds vigil for Floyd

SCOUTING TRAILBLAZERS

By Nadya Korytnikova Town Times

The Middlefield-Durham Racial Justice Team held a vigil Tuesday to honor the memory of George Floyd and others who have died in police custody.

Leaders from Middlefield and Durham Pack 33, Troop 33G, and representatives from the Middlefield Lions Club pose on the Eagle Scout pathway at Peckham Park.

Not too long ago, the Boy Scouts of America decided to break more than 100 years of tradition and allow girls to join their BSA and Cub Scout programs. On May 22, Pack 33 of Middlefield and Durham held their annual Blue & Gold event where their very first female Scout crossed over to the older BSA program. Earlier that week, Troop 33G was created. Troop 33G (for girls) and 33B (for boys) are linked so that Scouts can attend events, work together and share resources. Erica Fenwick, Cub Scout Leader with Middlefield and Durham Pack 33, and a founding member of Troop 33G, stated: “These female Scouts are trailblazing the way for younger girls behind them, including a

pathway to ultimately earn their Eagle Scout award. Female Scouts are welcomed, thriving and celebrated in Pack and Troop 33, where leaders are excited to support these Scouts as they work hard on advancement, community service, and leadership opportunities.” The Middlefield Lions Club serves as the charter organization for Pack and Troop 33. Lynn Johnson, the Lions’ incoming president, and wife of an Eagle Scout, spoke at the Blue & Gold gathering, recalling when women were first allowed to join the Lions Club. Johnson recognized that this was a historic moment for local Scouts and was honored to take part in the event.

The May 25 event held on the Middlefield green marked one year since Floyd, a Black man, died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes. That officer has been convicted of Floyd’s murder.

People gathered on the Middlefield green Tuesday in memory of George Floyd and other Black people “Because it is an issue that who have died at the hands of police. is ongoing, we want to

make sure that the attention is brought to it,” said Patrick Holden, Middlefield-Durham Racial Justice Team leader and the vigil organizer. “We, as a group, don't want to fade away and just become a little footnote as it has happened in the past.”

At the vigil, participants held candles as a pastor from the Middlefield Federated Church read from

price of gas and another that would result in you paying more for everyday services and goods such as groceries. With help from dozens of residents, we sent them a very public message in Wallingford (May 14): Enough is enough.”

"Today we passed an important piece of legislation that will positively impact the lives of many across our

state," Daugherty Abrams, a Democrat, said in a press release. "I am especially proud of the requirements for health clubs to have life saving Automatic External Defibrillators and additional training and study going into understanding and preventing Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy. This is a vital first step in saving lives and providing people who live with epilepsy and their families with some peace of mind."

It’s (doggie) pool season, hopefully Well, here we are, at long last. Scorching temps are on the way. And I must give some thought as to how I will deal with them. When the mercury rises, and I am outside reading, I sometimes feel like I am in a sauna, and it is not to my liking. There is no shade for me to duck under, so I tend to be a tad miserable Yep, it’s time to get a kiddie pool. For many years I had a big, grown-up pool – you know, with a filter and all – and it made me very happy. But the summer before last saw its demise, and I was just not able to bring it back to life. So I hopped on down to Walmart and bought a cheap kiddie pool, which served its purpose well. No, I could not swirl around endlessly on my floatie chair, like in the days of old, and paddle around the perimeter,

or dunk into the water to cool off. I sat in water that was waist-high, if that, and read. I loved my weensie pool, though. No expense, no trying to get the pH right. The only real challenge was where to put it. I couldn’t find a flat spot. The only one I could find was in the front yard, flush against the house. I believe the abundant foliage out there kept me safe from the view of passersby. Let’s hope.

“We’re writing to thank those who joined us at our local rally against their new Transportation and Climate Initiative gas tax as well as their proposal to install a mileage-based tax on heavy trucks,” the letter continues. “These plans under consideration right now come at the worst possible time—as our state embarks on what could be a long and fragile economic recovery. “Make no mistake, these are regressive proposals. The people who can least afford

them will be hurt most. It’ll cost more to drive to work, to get the kids to school and practice, or to get mom and dad to a medical appointment. Simply putting food on the table will cost more too. “These controversial proposals will be decided between now and June 9, when the legislative session ends. We hope you’ll continue to speak out, to tell those who control the agenda at the Capitol that Connecticut is an expensive-enough place to live already. “Visit stopthegastaxct.com to sign our petition and learn about future rallies.”

Daisies to host Share Night

SELFLESS SCOUTS

Incoming kindergarten and first-grade girls from Durham and Middlefield are invited to a Daisy Share Night Thursday, June 10 hosted by Daisy Troop 62339. The gathering will take place at Peckham Park, 6 to 7 p.m. Learn about the fun things Girl Scout Daisies get to do – exploring the outdoors, making new friends, completing service projects, and so much more.

Daisy Share Night activities will be led by current firstgrade Daisies. Adult volunteers will be on hand to share details about joining Girl Scouts. For more information, email DMFGirlScouts@gmail.com.

Say

Sixth- and seventh-grade Girl Scout Cadettes in Troop 62092 completed a spring service project by making a special delivery to St. Vincent de Paul in Middletown. The girls used proceeds from cookie sales, and accepted donations, to purchase the supplies for two complete "Welcome Baskets" for St. Vincent de Paul’s Supportive Housing Program, including bedding, and kitchen and other household items. The donation was the single largest the Supportive Housing Program in Middletown ever received. The Cadettes exemplify the Girl Scout tenet of making the world a better place, and the girls were proud to use their hard-earned cookie proceeds in such a meaningful way.

COVID doesn’t stop foundations’ work Petit Family Foundation The Petit Family Foundation grant committee has selected recipients for their 2021 spring grant cycle. Twenty-six organizations whose missions are aligned with the Petit Family Foundation’s missions were chosen to receive funding. Some of the organizations selected:

The Greater New Britain Teen Pregnancy Prevention, Inc., located in New Britain, will use the grant to support their Pathways to Education Program, which serves low- to moderate-income households and provides academic assistance and school materials to help kids be prepared to learn and excel.

COVID-19 VACCINE

ASK THE EXPERT

What options are available for housebound residents and others who can’t make it to a vaccination clinic?

A Housebound is an individual who is unable to leave their home without difficulty. And due to this difficulty, they generally do not leave their home. It is usually due to advanced age, illness, or a disability. As part of the continued rollout of vaccinations in the State of Connecticut, the Wallingford Health Department has been designated the Homebound Coordinator for residents of Wallingford. The State of CT DPH has set up a website for those who are homebound and are seeking vaccination to register, which is as follows: https://dphsubmissions. ct.gov/homebound There are two criteria that are required to be met to qualify for a homebound vaccination. • Physically unable to go to a vaccination clinic or mass vaccination site with or without assistance. • No history of anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction requiring the use of an epinephrine auto-injector (EPI pen). For residents who cannot register on the website for homebound vaccination can contact the Wallingford Health Department directly (203-294-2065) for registration on the town’s homebound vaccination program. The Wallingford Health Department will also, in the coming weeks, begin to set up mobile clinics in the community focusing on vulnerable populations and those who are uninsured/underinsured as more vaccination operators are available in town. Once the individual signs up with the Wallingford Health Department, we

Solitary confinement bill passes out of committee; fight looms

COVID cases continue in the right direction Walgreens: Walgreens is offering the vaccine at many locations. Go to walgreens.com.

As of May 23, the total of laboratory-confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases reported among Connecticut residents was 346,711. One hundred twenty-seven patients were hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. There has been 8,219 COVID-19-associated deaths in the state.

Monument

the first one in the state of Connecticut.

From A1

Along with members of the Berlin Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion Post 68, and other local veterans’ organizations, nearly a dozen Gold Star Families attended the groundbreaking ceremony, including Helen Keiser-Pedersen, president of Connecticut’s chapter of Gold Star Mothers. Her son, U.S. Army Capt. Andrew Pedersen-Keel, was killed in battle in Afghanistan in 2013, just before his 29th birthday.

comes part of a nationwide project led by 97-year-old Hershel "Woody" Williams, the last surviving Marine from World War II to wear the Medal of Honor. Since 2013, The Hershel Woody Williams Medal of Honor Foundation has established 76 Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments across the United States and 74 more are underway. The monument in Berlin’s Veterans Memorial Park will be

“Our struggle to understand what has happened to our lives and why, is a daily effort,” said Keiser-Pedersen. “Mothers, fathers, families, know – we have to go on. We try to help each other with confident hope that there is more to life than this value of tears that we have experienced ... Gold Star Families will always need your love, we will always need your hug, we will always need your hand to hold, and we will always need your respect.” All Gold Star Monuments use the same design. The

monuments are two-sided and made of black granite. The front side honors Gold Star Families with the statement, “A Tribute to Gold Star Families and Relatives Who Sacrificed a Loved One for Our Freedom.” The back of the monument shows representative images for each pillar of the Woody Williams Foundation: homeland, family, patriot, and sacrifice. And, within the center of this tribute, is a silhouette of a saluting service member surrounded by the pillars and the legacy they left behind.

Bill dundant in light of a bill that passed the Senate last week; and that a future amendment would expand the window in which corrections officials will need to perform an assessment of a person placed in solitary confinement. “And so almost all of the costs that are imagined in that fiscal note will be eliminated with the new amendment,” Winfield said, clarifying in a phone call after his remarks to the committee that he will be filing an amended version of the bill. “I think the fiscal note is wrong, but I’m not even focusing on that; I’m just going to fix it.” In a preview of the coming fight to get the bill passed through the House and Senate, Sen. Paul Cicarella, RNorth Haven, a former corrections officer, said the use of solitary confinement is a helpful instrument for prison staff to manage prisoners who assault their peers or other corrections employees or who commit another crime while they’re locked up. Also, he said, not everyone in solitary has committed an act of violence; people who are being held on suicide watch or another form of protective custody could be incarcerated in similar ways.

So every day I vow to head into the thick foliage and clip away, making a lovely flat spot for my soon-to-behere pool. And every day sees me sprawled out on my chair, reading and drinking green tea and calling my friends. Tomorrow, I tell myself. I know I really do need to get on this, because when my pool arrives and it is 234 degrees in the shade, and I have no place to put it, I will want to kick myself. Okay, maybe today.

Maybe, I am thinking, there’s a spot by the cellar doors. But if memory serves me, I tried that last year and the slope, barely discernible from the outside, nevertheless almost propelled me out of the pool. The spot that my chaise lounge chair occupies might be doable. Of course, that begs the question of where to re-locate the chair. Those slopes have me fearing that I will slide off of chairs and out of pools.
