German Shepard is Durham’s Top Dog
WOMEN’S HIKE
By Nicole Zappone Town Times
After a 10-year hiatus, Durham’s Top Dog contest returned this year. And the winner is … Jade. The Top Dog, a 3-year-old German Shepard, belongs to Annmarie Beaudry, and their family includes Jade’s brothers and sisters Cloud, Echo, Holly, Rebel and Winter. The Top Dog was selected at random from the 500-plus pups who were registered with the town in June.
Women of the Woods will embark on an approximately 3-mile hike on Sunday, July 24, at Mica Ledges Preserve in Durham. The group will set off at 5:30 p.m. and visit Whitney Pond, Pyramid Rock and the beautiful ledges. This month’s hike will focus on learning how to read a trail map to avoid getting lost and what to do if you think you are lost or turned around. For additional information and to register, visit EveryoneOutside.org or contact Lucy@EveryoneOutside.org.
“When the town called, I got nervous. Because I knew that I paid all my taxes,” Beaudry joked. “I have people contacting me on Facebook asking if I breed Jade,” she said. The answer to that query is: No.

Letters to the Editor
From A1
Big shoes to fill
Now, we wish her a long and enjoyable retirement.”
Editor : We want to thank Laura Francis for her 30-plus years of service to the Town of Durham. She worked hard to achieve her goals and the goals of our town.
A retirement party was held for Dean on June 28. From the start of her tenure, Dean helped secure funds to support various DMYFS programs and activities. Also, she quickly applied for the Drug-Free Communities grant, which has totaled some $1.25 million over the years. Thanks to the Drug-Free Communities grant, the DMYFS said more than 1,500 youth in Durham and Middlefield have received mental health and substance abuse training, and the communities have reported a significant decrease in risky behaviors.
As our First Selectman, she has worked tirelessly to obtain grants for many projects in Durham. She has attended celebrations, wakes, funerals, plays and concerts for her constituents. She has felt the loss of everyone who has passed from our town whether she knew them or not. She has felt the love for a newborn child she may not have ever met.
“The changes we’ve seen in our schools are wonderful, as our children are taking our messages to heart,” Claudia O’Connell said. “Betsy has worked welll with the RSD13 administration and teachers, as well as other community members, to get their investment in our programs. It’s a tribute to her passion and caring for our community.”
Whoever takes over her position has some mighty big shoes to fill, and we can only hope that he or she will be half the leader Laura Francis has been to Durham. Laura, we wish you the best of luck and success in your new adventure. In the immortal words of Ricky Nelson, “you can’t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.” Now is your time.
Other accomplishments attributed to Dean include the creation of EDGE, a summer internship

Laura has proudly watched thousands of Durham’s children graduate from high school. She has received praise and criticism from satisfied and disgruntled residents. Her job was never a 9-to-5 position. If you do the job right, you take it home with you every single night.

Being the First Selectman can, sometimes, be a thankless job. There is never a way to please everyone no matter how hard one tries. Because of her attendance at many meetings and seminars throughout the state, Laura has made countless connections, all for the benefit of Durham’s residents.

Millions in COVID-19 funds yet to be distributed applications until December and step up efforts to get the word out about the Connecticut COVID-19 Essential Worker Assistance Fund.
HARTFORD — A $34 million state fund created by Connecticut lawmakers last year to provide financial help to qualified essential workers has remained mostly untouched, Comptroller Natalie Braswell said last week.
“For us, we think that we need to do more outreach. We need to get more people to know that the program is available, how they apply for The program aims to help the program, what kind of those who lost wages and documentation they need, faced out-of-pocket medical how they apply, how they expenses and burial costs register,” she said Thursday, due to COVID-19.

The fund is open to any essential Connecticut worker who didn’t have the option to work remotely and who died or was unable to work because they contracted COVID-19 between March 10, 2020, and July 20, 2021.

In late June, members of the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Company participated in advanced water rescue training at Lake Beseck. In a social media post, the local fire company said the training, which took place over two nights, focused on "initial victim rescues" and "provided our members with advanced skills that were utilized in realistic training scenarios to better prepare us for a wide range of water responses." The course was presented by the group Water Training Resources. "We also train with our regional dive team frequently to understand how we can assist in their operations," the fire company stated. "You will likely see us on the lake in the coming weeks as we continue our in-house training."
