The countdown to the 102nd Durham Fair has begun.
Wethersfield residents Debbie and Dave Forrest and their dogs Sadie and Yoda check out the high water on the Coginchaug River as two days’ worth of rain rushes over the Wadsworth Falls in Middlefield during their recent hike. Rain began falling Sept. 5 and continued through Sept. 6, dropping several inches of rain across Connecticut. The rain brought an end to severe drought conditions in the state. This will not help much with the end of the agricultural season, but it should help get things back on track to normal as we head toward winter, saidGaryLessor,meteorologistatWesternConnecticutStateUniversity.

I would like to recognize Re becca Hyland, candidate for state representative for the 90th district. Since her cam paign kicked off in March 2022, Rebecca has been a force to be reckoned with. Her campaign slogan, “Thrive Together” is the em bodiment of this campaign.
I met Rebecca Hyland in January when she advocated for voters’ choice. She will demonstrate that same com mitment as state representa tive for Wallingford-Middle field. Her experience as a public defender and high school teacher prepares her to advocate for:
Working families, older adults, and small businesses by addressing their econom ic Juvenileneeds;justice by support ing community-based inter ventions and services to re duce Schoolcrime;safety, educational excellence, and access to life-long Recently,learning.Icampaigned with Rebecca and here’s what I learned: She listens. As state representative, she will act in the best interests of the 90th so that we all #ThriveTogether.

He has worked dili gently to ensure the rights and safety of citizens. I know that he will continue to faith fully serve the people in his district and the state.

DURHAM- Adela Haberski French passed away on Friday, August 19, 2022.

Fritz (above) is a quirky, adorable 3-month-old. He can be a “shy guy,” so he is looking for a quiet home with a patient person who will love him as he is. While he sometimes hides and scares easily, he has been very affectionate with his foster mom. There is something so endearing about this little guy. We think he will become the light of someone’s life. Visit CatTalesCT.org/ cats/Fritz-2. Bucca’s family is looking for a new home for this sweet 6-year-old girl (below). The family travels extensively, and Bucca does not do well emotionally when they’re away. They’d like to find a family, couple or individual who is at home most of the time. Bucca is very healthy and well cared for. She’s a bit of a chatterbox, loves to cuddle and is excellent with other animals. Visit CatTalesCT.org/cats/Bucca. The family is open to a foster-to-adopt arrangement. Contact Brian at 869-662-0411 or bfarrelllaw@gmail.com.

Merrill (338 Conn.1), in which the court held that the determination about whether a voter is un able to appear at the polling place on the day of the elec tion is made by the individu al voter and that the Con necticut Constitution’s lan guage is sufficiently broad so as to allow for voters to vote by absentee ballot when a specific, identifiable disease or disability is present even when the voter them selves is not personally sick or Votersdisabled.canrequest an appli cation for an absentee ballot from their town clerk or download an application at myvote.ct.gov/absentee and return it to their town clerk.
