Alcohol ban back for park

Weekly Fun Runs are back By Nicole Zappone Town Times

DEEP re-imposes temporary rule for Wadsworth Falls

It was a hot summer day when Jennifer Schulten came to Durham 17 years ago. She didn’t know anyone, as she arrived from New York. On her second day, she heard about the Durham Fun Runs.

Ambulance corps honored at concert By Nicole Zappone Town Times

The Durham Volunteer Ambulance Corps was honored for their years of service Thursday, June 30 at the start of the summer concert series at Allyn Brook Park in Durham.

“Tonight is a very special night because we as a community are going to celebrate some very special people in our community,” First Selectman Laura Francis told the crowd. “These people have served our community as first responders of the ambulance corps.”

Just before the start of summer, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection re-imposed temporary alcohol bans for seven state recreation areas. Wadsworth Falls State Park, located on the Middletown/ Middlefield line, is on the list. The alcohol ban will stand until Sept. 5. The DEEP said that in recent summers the seven locations listed saw increased crowds and alcohol consumption, leading to increased incidents of unruly behavior, as well as property damage, trespassing and complaints by other visitors. The DEEP said the alcohol ban has helped reduce negative behaviors while making the areas more safe and enjoyable.

“We met a man named John Hastings who would become a mentor for many of us who love running,” Schulten said. “The Fun Runs were simple – a stopwatch and ribbons – but friendships were cemented, and memories were made.”

Within three weeks, Schulten was inspired to start a year-round running program in the district – Go Far – which has benefited countless children over the years. “Creativity and running is how I built the framework around it,” Schulten said. “The unique formula of goals, exercise, encouragement and reward, all garnished by a large dose of fun, explains the program in a nutshell.”

Schulten explained that, even at age 5, her son Peter had a genuine love for running. Years later, Peter Schulten would compete in college, at the Division I level. And it all started with Fun Runs. R247962

Parks and Recreation Director Sherry Hill invited Peter Schulten to direct the Fun Runs when David Bellemere finished his term.

Schulten agreed, and he is now in his second year as director. “The first week of these runs is always a great turnout,” he said. “Every week, the run starts with a kids race, and then it’s the adults.”

Scouts finish epic trek across CT on Appalachian Trail On June 22, Scouts from Middlefield Troop 33 and Durham Troop 27, along with four adult leaders, set out on a rainy morning to backpack the entire Connecticut section of the Appalachian Trail. Five scouts completed the 5day, 54-mile — with 10,000feet of elevation — trek, including Quinn Kursawe and Matthew Williams of Troop 27 and Kaelin DaSilva, Wyeth DaSilva and Ethan Greenwood of Troop 33.

As the corps membership gradually changed, the number of people belonging to the organizations dwindled. In 1971, the two separated, and the corps changed its name to the Durham Volunteer Ambulance Corps. On Nov. 10, 1976, the Durham Volunteer Ambulance Corps incorporated Durham, and the Town of Durham entered into an agreement authorized at a special town meeting on July 26, 1976. This would start the ambulance service for the citizens in the Town of Durham. Well over 100 men and women were members of the Durham Volunteer Ambulance Corps, requiring thousands of hours of training and answering 911 calls.
