Both sides feel good about state budget
TRAVELIN’ SHOW
A rarity in these heated political times, local lawmakers – both Democrats and Republicans – feel good about the state biennial budget, which went into effect July 1 and runs through June 30, 2023.
In lieu of a live performance this year, Paperhouse Productions filmed their musical theatre adventure Dear Edwina JR. on locations around Durham and Middlefield. Dear Edwina JR. follows the adventures of a 13-year-old advice columnist and problem-solver named Edwina, who dishes out advice and wisdom with the help of her friends and a little song and dance. In June, Paperhouse Productions presented the video for the first time on a large screen at the Durham Fairgrounds.
On your marks ... Tuesday Night Fun Runs, held at the Coginchaug Regional High School track and field complex, are back. A post on the Durham Recreation Department Facebook page states, this year, races include a 5K or specialty distance, and "Some weeks will be shorter, some longer, some on track, some on grass, etc. We are doing this to provide runners with distances that are not typically offered at other events." Runners of all ages – and from anywhere – are welcome. Register online via durhamct.recdesk.com.
“The fact that Connecticut has a compromise budget without new income or property tax increases pushed by many Democrats is good news considering the remarkable level of partisanship we experienced during the session through the combination of their General Assembly majority and a governor’s administration that operated with broad emergency powers," House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora stated. Dave Yaccarino, House Republican Senior Whip, applauded the passage of the budget on a bipartisan basis through the House of Representatives and Senate. Yaccarino said the budget, while not perfect, stayed within the spending cap and did not include new tax increases. “I am especially proud that this budget fully restores the Research and Development Tax Credit program and
will phase out the Connecticut State Income Tax on IRA pensions. I’m also thrilled that it keeps the promise made to teachers regarding their retirement benefits by honoring the 50 percent deduction on Connecticut income tax,” Yaccarino said. A press release from state Sen. Mary Daugherty Abrams' office states: "With a billion-dollar year-end budget surplus, its Rainy Day Fund at historic highs, our state bond rating at its highest level in two decades, and state income tax and federal revenues swelling, Connecticut is well-positioned this year to make major investments in education, town aid, social services, health care, justice-related initiatives and workforce development programs, all the while remaining under our statutory spending cap."

They’re all against me I believe there’s an uprising in my house and I blame my computer for starting it. You may recall (of course you do!) my column regarding my recalcitrant computer. It misbehaves on a consistent basis, and I spent a considerable amount of time complaining about the situation. It seems I have incurred its wrath. Obviously it does not take criticism well. I think it is talking to the appliances at night, trying to stir up a mutiny. I imagine they convene in the wee hours, when I’m sleeping, and plot. For instance, I’ve noticed that my oven seems to be a bit surly of late. It takes its sweet time warming up to the desired temperature, which has me praying to the gods of appliances to please, please do not take out my oven. Maybe I should give it the benefit of a doubt

and assume it is being kind, thinking I could use the extra time for, say, pruning my garden. I don’t have a garden. The pressure for my hot water is almost nil. I now have only a trickle. It’s quite a trick standing under that trickle in the shower, trying to wet all skin surfaces. It takes a while. Maybe I could tackle this while my oven is deciding if it wants to heat up. Oh yes, the washing machine. This has been an ongoing problem. I must stand guard at all times. Because when it fills up, and it is time for the water to turn off, well, it doesn’t. If I do not

In Brief Herbs 101
Chip sealing
Come to the MiddlefieldDurham Giving Garden behind the Middlefield Community Center Saturday, July 10 at 11 a.m. for a look at what herbs can do and how we can use them. Bring a chair and settle in for an hour of herb education presented by Rosalie Lamphier, a Master Gardener, Giving Garden volunteer and herb enthusiast. This is the first in a series of talks at the garden, picking up where the Coginchaug Area Transition garden talks left off before the pandemic. Hard rain cancels. Call Sue with questions, 860-836-1768.
The Middlefield Department of Public Works has scheduled its annual program of chip sealing for the following roads: Hubbard Street, Cedar Street, Derby Road, Maple Street, Mack Road, Lake Road, Lake Shore Drive. The work has a tentative start date of Thursday, July 15. Minor delays in traffic are to be expected. Onstreet parking will not be permitted. Vehicles which hamper the operation will be towed. Also, do not allow any water to enter the roadway as this will cause the chip seal to fail prematurely. After the application, there will be excess loose stone that can be hazard to motorists if they exceed the temporary 15 M.P.H. speed limit. Check middlefieldct.org for the latest information.
Budget From A1
"As our state continues to emerge from the pandemic, this budget puts us in prime position to not only recover from the adverse effects of the pandemic, but also to thrive for years to come," said Daugherty Abrams, a Democrat. "As Senate Chair of the Public Health Committee, I am pleased to see funding for healthcare and support for our nursing homes and nonprofits. As a former educator, I am proud to vote for a budget that provides our schools, educators and all students the supports they deserve. The previous year was no doubt a challenging one, however, this budget represents an investment in our state's recovery, residents and future."

Veterans Open The Golden Kielbasa Veterans Open, the state’s largest veterans charity golf event, which in its first 10 years raised more than $140,000
for Connecticut veterans causes, will return to Tunxis Plantation Country Club in Farmington on Friday, Oct. 8 with the support of Liberty Bank. To reserve a spot for your foursome in advance, to sponsor the event, or for general questions, contact Dennis Buden at dennis.buden@davchapter8.org or 860-558-0514, or visit davchapter8.org/goldenkielbasa.
Flag replacement Comcast technicians are looking for tattered flags as part of the company’s free Flag Replacement Program. The effort is led by employees who participate in the Veterans Network Employee Resource Group known as “VetNet.” If a Comcast technician notices a worn-out flag at a home or business, the technician shares the location with the flag replacement team, which contacts
the individual or business and offers to replace it, whether that resident or business is a customer or not. What’s more, the old flags are retired in accordance with military protocols. Comcast technicians are looking to replace worn flags throughout Western New England, which includes more than 300 communities. In just a few weeks since the program launched, the team has replaced over 20 American flags.

Like I said, I blame my computer. It seems to be a vindictive thing, trying to turn the appliances against me. I’m pretty sure it’s also been convincing my socks to disappear, one-by-one. Maybe I should try to get on its good side before it talks my appliances into going belly-up. There there, nice computer. Mama loves you. Shall we call a truce?
