The Durham Animal Response Team asked the community for help naming the “horse” the group uses for training. After receiving many suggestions online and at the local Memorial Day parade, where the horse made its public debut, D.A.R.T. settled on a name. In honor of Dr. Steven Levy, who played an instrumental role in getting D.A.R.T off the ground, the horse will be known as Doc. Pictured: Members of the Durham Animal Response Team and Doc.

Cops carry ‘Flame of Hope’ for Special Olympics

Town Times report

Police officers from throughout Connecticut took part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics last week, passing the “Flame of Hope” from group to group en route to the Special Olympics Connecticut Summer Games Opening Ceremony on Saturday.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run began in 1981 in Wichita, Kansas and is the largest grassroots fundraiser for the Special Olympics.

According to Jackie Turro, senior director of special

events for Special Olympics Connecticut, around 175 Connecticut law enforcement agencies participate year round supporting nearly 10,000 Special Olympics Connecticut athletes across the state.

Discussing the 2023 Torch Run, Turro said, “Today we have people rallying down at Blue Back Square with five different legs running in from different corners of the state and overall we cover over 500 miles with around 1,500 law enforcement officers throughout the course of our three-day event.”

Runners take the last strides to the finish line at the Meriden/Middlefield town line during the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics on South Broad Street in Meriden onJune1.

FBI launches street takeover tip line

By Ben Baker Record-Journal staff

MERIDEN In response to growing statewide complaints of a spike in street takeover events, the FBI rolled out a tip line for residents to report instances of mass gatherings in parking lots and roadways.

The move by the FBI comes after a May street takeover in Meriden resulted in thousands of dollars in damage to a police cruiser and a search for a suspect believed to be carrying a firearm. The incident resulted in two arrests and was followed by a second takeover the next day in Waterbury in which suspects reportedly started a fire and hurled stones at first responders.

Additional takeovers, including multiple instances in Naugatuck, have ended in arrests on a variety of counts, including unlawful assembly and riot charges, according to police.

The gatherings, police said, began as meet ups for amateur drag racing and vehicle maneuver events, but have now evolved to crowds rang-

ing from dozens to hundreds barricading public spaces and “racing cars, playing loud music and smoking tires,” among other activities which have resulted in property damage and disturbances.

Law enforcement is still seeking to identify the suspect who was observed in dashcam footage climbing on top of a police car and reaching for what officers beleive to be a handgun.

“We need your help in identifying the individual attempting to pull the item from their pocket,” police said in a statement. “If they are willing to pull what we believe to be a firearm while

A video clip of a group confronting police is shown during a press conference held at the Meriden Police Department. Meriden police asked for the public’s help in identifying persons involved in the May 6 confrontation at the Lowe’s Plaza on East Main Street in Meriden.

Eversource: ‘Near-normal’ hurricane season predicted

Press Release

As the 2023 hurricane season begins, Eversource is reminding customers about the importance of preparing and planning for major storms.

The changing climate is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather, and the energy company works yearround to strengthen the grid through upgrades, maintenance, and proactive vegetation management to enhance reliability for customers.

Atlantic hurricane season lasts through November, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting a near-normal season with up to 17 storms having winds above 39 milesper-hour and possibly nine of those storms becoming hurricanes.

“With extreme weather posing a threat to reliability year-round, our team is always ready to respond to whatever Mother Nature brings especially during hurricane season when severe storm systems can be unpredictable,” said Eversource President of Electric Operations in Connecticut Steve Sullivan. “Every day we’re working

to make the electric system more resilient to the changing climate, including installing stronger poles and thicker wires, actively patrolling our circuits and addressing hazardous trees that may threaten the grid while also investing in new, smart technologies that can help shorten the amount of time a home or business is without power.”

With trees causing more than 90 percent of power outages during storms, trimming and removing hazard trees that threaten overhead electric lines is crucial to providing customers with reliable power in all types of weather.

Eversource provides a storm safety checklist and encourages customers to always have an emergency plan in place, stock a storm kit with essential items, plan a meeting place for family members and be ready to check on neighbors. Customers can also download Eversource’s mobile app or sign up for the company’s two-way texting to report and check outages.

For more information on Eversource’s emergency preparedness efforts and restoration process, visit Eversource.com.

on the hood of a police cruiser, we have concerns on what else this individual may do or have done with this item.”

Though takeovers are not a new phenomenon with Meriden police spokesman Officer Michael Boothroyd stating the first reported incidents date back to “at least 2020”— 2023 brought a shift in their dynamics and has caused the events to become substantially more disruptive.

What separates recent gatherings from those of years past, Boothroyd said, is the number of individuals involved and an apparent newfound boldness among participants, which has led them to push back against

law enforcement and linger even as police arrive on the scene.

“These takeovers are nothing new,” Boothroyd said. “Meriden and (State Police) have been dealing with racers on the Berlin Turnpike for years. The biggest issue now is that they’re becoming more confrontational with the public and law enforcement. Typically they’ll congregate at the larger parking lots on East Main Street Lowes, fast food restaurants before heading up to the limited access portion of the Berlin Turnpike. Meriden

will receive complaints of vehicles stopped on the overpasses who are spectating as well as racing. That type of activity has been happening for many years but the individuals would generally disperse once law enforcement was alerted.”

In response to street takeovers occurring more frequently and drawing larger crowds whose actions are becoming increasingly erratic, lawmakers in Hartford moved to establish a “Task Force to Combat Illegal Roadway Traffic.” It would be spearheaded by state and local police departments and take effectin July if signed into law.

Federally, the FBI tip line was launched this week alongside a website. Residents looking to report a street takeover are encouraged to call 1-800-CALL-FBI and select the “Connecticut Street Takeovers” option from an operator or visit the website fbi.gov/cttakeovertips.

Though the age of street takeover participants arrested tends to skew toward young adults in their late teens and early 20s, police said a high percentage of those attending the events appear to be high school aged and urged parents to discourage their children from involving themselves in a takeover.

“Parents should be aware that a majority of the spectators are high school teenagers,” police said.

“Conversations should be had to discuss the inherent dangers and consequences of participating in these activities.”

Library project

The Library Renewal Project at Durham Public Library is moving along. Currently, carpet is being installed, which closed the library for a few days this week. In a social media post, the library said it expected to reopen Monday, June 12.

The Durham library was awarded a grant for the renewal project in the amount of $146,957 by the Connecticut State Library Board.

In April, the Durham library said the project will refresh the building’s public spaces “to best serve the current and future needs of the community” and was “ expected to be substantially complete by early summer.” Updates are posted on the library website and on social media.

Addressing the scholarship winners in a social media post, the Durham Fair Association said “[W]e are so proud to have you part of our community!”

Liability for Injuries to Workers: One of the biggest risks to a homeowner is potential liability if a worker is injured while on the job on their property. If a contractor is unlicensed and uninsured, the contractor and his employees are automatically considered employees of the property owner. Thus, if a worker is injured while working on the property, the injured worker may sue the homeowner. An injured employee might be able legally to collect worker’s compensation from the homeowner’s insurance policy.

A recent Meet the Resident Troopers open house celebration gave locals a chance to see the troopers’ new headquarters inside the Durham Community Center.
