So now it is almost 5:00, and the fat lady is getting ready to sing, so to speak. One year in particular stands out in my mind. They were on their last ride. I don’t re member the name of it, but I do remember that all was well until its operator thought it would be a lark to make it go in reverse. That’s where he lost my boys.
It might not surprise you to hear that, yes, I was bare foot. And this is one of my favorite memories. I was in the tent that sold crystals, and the man who worked there told me he had lived in South America, where feet like mine would be consid ered an asset.
On the way home they both emptied a good part of their innards on the front step, not being able to make it through the door. But when the nausea subsid ed, we all spent a lovely evening crooning over our treasures. The fun wasn’t over yet.

I did not join them on any of them, since I have motion sickness. I tried the Scrambler a couple of times and spent the rest of the day wishing I had a bucket I could stick my head into.
The Durham Fair was a sta ple in our lives for many years. It made an indelible mark on us, and it still lives in my sons’ hearts. They are long gone and far away, but they always know when the Durham Fair is here. And every year, with out fail, we reminisce about those days of yore.

Ah, the Durham Fair. Noth ing but good memories Mythere.boys and I used to live for it. We’d sock away mon ey well in advance, in eager anticipation of the big day. Back then the kids did not get all of Friday off for the fair, but my kids did. The schools gave early dismissal, at 1:30, which I did not deem to be very early. And because I do not like crowds, Friday was our day. We would get there right when the fair opened and pretty much have the place to ourselves. I loved it. We kicked off the festivities by ambling through the barns. We knew that once the crowds came we would not be able to get anywhere Iclose.especially loved the baby pigs. I remember the year Ryan tried to talk me into and almost succeeded buying one that was for sale. Oh, how I wanted that little cutie! But I am not zoned for barnyard animals, so I knew it was of little use to bring one home. It was a tough Thendecision.wewandered around and found all the booths where we wished to dine throughout the day. Such a lovely plethora of treats. Bloomin’ onions, strawberry sundaes, lime rickeys, fudge. I think we ate a month’s worth of calories in that one day. And we enjoyed every one of them. We checked out the rides. Was there anything new this year? There usually was. At 1 p.m. we could buy a bracelet for $10 that allowed an un limited number of rides until Meanwhile,5. we wandered through the tents and bought our treasures. Be cause there was hardly any one there we had a front row to everything. I always liked the tent at the bottom of the hill that sold crystals. We attended all the enter tainment offerings. Except for the pig races. I felt sorry for the participants. I thought they would like to be burrowing into a nice stack of hay instead of run ning their little legs off. We went to all the shows for kids. We went to the con certs. We always watched the Show Choir from Cogin chaug. That always made me wish I had pursued a dance career. Mind you, I never had the talent for a dance career, just the desire. We al ways made it into the Dis covery tent, where I came out with a lot of brochures and more wisdom than when I went in.

A safer Connecticut is achievable
Some recent, actual, headlines in here in SecurityConnecticut:officer shot during shoplifting at tempt at Buckland Hills Mall in Manch Deliveryester driver dragged 500 feet dur ing carjacking in CarjackersWallingfordpunched, pistol whipped 70-year-old man at gas station in Orange Do you feel safe? While you are pumping gas in Walling ford, or North Haven? Do you think twice in your own neighborhood, or anywhere else across our district or Thestate?reality is that law-abid ing citizens in Connecticut do not feel safe. Notice our towns that I named above, which I proudly represent. I did not name these towns at random. These towns, and others, are examples of reallife incidents in our own backyards: parking lot car thefts in broad daylight, and a homeowner fired upon while attempting to prevent a thief from sawing-off his car’s catalytic converter. These incidents hap pened over the past year. Years ago, sim ply one crime of this nature would be out of the ordinary. Now, unfortunately, they are commonplace. When you turn on the morning news, there seem to be daily headlines of such crimes in our Thisstate.isConnecticut and not the “Wild West.” In North Haven, a thief stole a pregnant woman’s car in the BJ’s parking lot. The thief and accomplices then went on to commit several addi tional crimes using her stolen vehicle. Do you think this mother will ever feel safe while pumping gas? I don’t think so. The simple fact is that public safety is a huge problem in Connecticut that must be addressed now.

“Summer is typically a time of a low number of food drives and with kids going back to school, the demand goes up,” she explained. “It’s coming at just the right time for us.” Food insecurity The Connecticut Food Bank reports that more than 490,000 people in the state were food insecure in 2019. In addition, food prices are 11% higher than last year due to inflation. Heald estimates that Mas ter’s Manna currently serves over 300 families weekly and expects the number to rise as the economic effects of the pandemic continue and inflation worsens.

Monkeypox According to the CDC, there are a total of 16,603 monkey pox cases in the United States, including 86 cases in Connecticut. “At this time, the risk of monkeypox infec tion in children and adoles cents remains low,” said Lea Crown, director of the Meri den Department of Health. “Monkeypox virus can infect anyone including chil dren if they have close, personal, often skin-to-skin contact with someone who has monkeypox. In this cur rent outbreak, most cases of monkeypox have been asso ciated with sexual contact.”
While protocols and proce dures will help keep students and staff members safe, Su san Bencivenga Lonczak, di rector of health for Plainville-Southingtonthe Health District, said it all comes down to tried and true meth ods. “Washing your hands, watching your symptoms,” she said. “Families need to look at some of the different risky behaviors and make de cisions that are best for them. But the school setting is really important for kids.”

Inflation is the high est it has been in decades, yet the Democrats in Hart ford have relied upon federal COVID dollars and tax in creases to artificially buoy an already fragile state econo my,” Fishbien said. He criticized the increase in the diesel tax that went into effect last month. “While Connecticut already had one of the highest gas taxes in the country, Democrats in Hartford raised the tax on diesel fuel, which will lead to more in flation as many of the prod ucts that we consume are transported by diesel fueled vehicles,” Fishbein said. “In order to address the negative economic conditions, op posing tax increases and heightened regulation of business are a good place to start.” “Even our governor’s wife admits that it is ‘tough to do business’ in our state, the family choosing to do busi ness elsewhere,” he said, re ferring to a comment Gov. Ned Lamont made last year suggesting his wife was look ing into moving her business to Tennessee. Lamont later described the remark an “offhand comment” that was Hylandwrong. said the problem of rising prices is not unique to Connecticut, calling it a na tional and global issue caused by a number of fac tors, including the chal lenges of a post-pandemic “economy.Thereisa global supply shortage and every industry is being hit by the rising cost of goods,” Hyland said. “Ev eryone except the wealthy has been hit hard in the last few years. While many peo ple are struggling to stay afloat, the wealthy are taking advantage of Trump-era policies and COVID-related Theopportunities.”downturnin the econo my has been especially diffi cult for small businesses, which Hyland said need to be supported because they don’t have some of the ad vantages of large businesses. “In order for economic re covery to benefit all, we need to support small busi nesses and the workers hit hardest by the pandemic,” she said. “We need to ensure that corporations stop taking advantage of economic as sistance intended for the Crimepeople.”also is a top issue for both candidates.

Fishbein was involved in the crafting of the juvenile crime legislation passed last ses “sion.Iwas able to get some criminal justice reforms put in place to roll back some of the harmful laws passed over the last decade,” he said, including “overnight arraignments for juveniles that are caught stealing cars, quicker evaluation for diver sionary programs, and a po lice officer being able to see a juvenile’s criminal record more easily for the purpose of detention orders.”
“An increase in crime is a quality of life matter that negatively affects everyone, except for criminals,” he said. “It increases the cost of law enforcement, the cost of diversionary programs and the cost of incarceration, thereby requiring more tax dollars, and it makes people scared to leave their home.”

“But there is more left to do, he added. “Presently, a juvenile that is arrested is adjudicated in the jurisdiction where they live, as opposed to where they were arrested. This bur dens the victims and law en forcement, forcing them to have to travel to a foreign ju risdiction to address the case, meanwhile accommo dating the individual who is accused of doing a crime outside of their home dis trict.”
passed a bill during the last session in response to the increase of cars stolen by juveniles statewide, particularly in suburban areas during the first year of the pandemic. The new law expands access to juvenile criminal records, allows for electronic moni toring of repeat offenders and requires shorter wait times for first court appear Aances.Republican amendment to the bill that would have al lowed for more juvenile cas es to be referred to adult courts failed to pass. Addressing juvenile crime is a first step to reducing over all crime, Hyland said. “By focusing on early inter vention and intensive com munity-based support ser vices, we can reduce crime and improve the outcome for juveniles who have al ready become involved in the justice system,” she said.
