UNIQUE HISTORY LESSON

As usual, Durham Fair was a feast for the senses

By Nicole Zappone Town Times

Overcast skies and an occasional drizzle didn’t stop thousands from attending the final day of the annual Durham Fair on Sunday.

Many came to celebrate the fair’s Military Appreciation Day. All veter ans and active service members re ceived free admission and discounts from vendors.

At noon, there was a parade for vet

These cat-andmouse games are getting old

which point Wilbur scam pered off to I-know-notwhere.

Well, here we go again. An other mouse in the house. This seems to be a popular resort for vermin.

I had no warning this time, or I would have laid out the good towels and soap. Kitty Shiloh did not give me a heads-up, like he usually does, by frantically running around the house, obviously in pursuit of something. No, this time he first let me know of our houseguest’s ar rival by standing in front of me with the poor thing dan gling from his mouth.

I was horrified! For two rea sons. One being that I was afraid that he would come over and drop him in my lap, as a gift. (I’d rather have chocolate.) The second be ing that I always feel so sorry for the mouse, and I root for him. It just seems like such a horrendous way to depart this world. It’s great sport for Shiloh, but I think not so much for Wilbur. (Yes, this one is Wilbur.)

I could probably deal a bit better with the whole thing if Shiloh’s prey were big and fat and ugly. No such luck. They are always small and cute and adorable.

I would show Wilbur the way out, and save him a lot of heartache, if I thought he would follow me. Because we all know that he will not be having an easy time of it. Shiloh, I am happy to report, did not drop his treasure in my lap, but onto the floor, at

These are uneasy times for me. I know what lies ahead for Wilbur. He will go into hiding somewhere, but he will not have the good sense to stay there, and Shiloh will chase him, grab him by the scruff of his neck, drop him, and the whole scenario will be repeated. For days, if not weeks.

I feel for the poor thing. The pursuit stage is no easy thing for me, either. Shiloh does not go around things, he goes through them. He just knocked over my cable box and the stand it was on. I’m afraid I must live with the sound of things crashing, for a while anyway. The place is starting to look like it’s been vandalized.

Emotions aside, I do realize that a mouse does not make a good guest. There is the matter of its potty hygiene, which leaves something to be desired. And the chewing thing. Years ago I had to have the cable guy come out because mice, who were probably members of Wilbur’s extended family, chewed through the cable wires. My Samsung and I were not happy. I am still waiting for them to chip in for the cable bill. So yes, I do realize they must not linger here.

I have read that certain species communicate with each other when there is danger. Obviously mice are not one of them. Nobody seems to be getting the mes sage: “Do not go to 319

erans and active military members, followed by a Quilt of Valor presentation.

The Durham Fair, consid ered the largest agricultural fair in the state, opened Thursday, Sept. 22. The fourday event was run entirely by 1,700 volunteers.

Visitors included Gov. Ned Lamont, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Congress woman Rosa DeLauro.

Kim Terrill, vice president of the Durham Fair, was im pressed by the overall turnout over the four days.

“This year’s Durham Fair tapped out,” Terrill said. “We had higher attendance than last year, and our fairgoers enjoyed the animals in ac tion, fabulous fair food mid way, and exhibits. The inau gural beer, wine, and cider tent ran out of product on Saturday evening.”

Throughout the fair, the smell of french fries, apple

pie, donuts and more tempt ed taste buds.

“Today has been a steady day, and people eat french fries as soon as this fair opens up, ” Durham Middle field Exchange Club Presi dent Yvonne Ledoux said.

Sunday also featured a midafternoon costume parade for some of the livestock shown at the fair.

One of the farms involved was Greenbacker Farms in Durham.

Joe Greenbacker and his daughter Melissa Dziurgot spent the afternoon with their cattle and even posed for a photo with two of their cows, Blessed and Everlast ing.

“Being at the fair is a lot of hard work, but it’s rewarding to show off the cattle and what we have,” Dziurgot said.

I think they need some kind of system for putting out the alarm. Perhaps

they could carry Smart phones and text each oth er. Assuming they can type.

Wilbur, I love my Shiloh, but I’m on your side.

Maybe some night when I am sure that Shiloh is sleeping I’ll leave the back door open for you.

Fergie is a beautiful, affectionate and playful 6-month-old. At first, she may act a bit shy. The best home for Fergie is one which will give her time to adjust to her new people and surroundings.

The clear choice

Editor:

I proudly endorse Craig Fish bein for re-election as State Representative, to represent Wallingford (as he has) and now Middlefield too. Craig has experience with both lo cal and state government, and the determination to move our state forward. He has lived in Wallingford for over 50 years, and is very ac tive and involved in our community. He is civicminded, and understands the needs of our residents and businesses. Craig is a well-respected attorney with an extensive knowledge of the law and state statutes. He is by far the best person for the job. Vote for Craig Fish bein in November!

Karen Harris, Wallingford

Confronting racism

Editor:

I was glad to see the article “Confronting racist incidents in school” in the Sept 23 Town Times. As the article states “Experts say antiracism policies should in clude clear consequences for actions, ways to report racism and ways to track progress, often beginning with an equity audit.” District 13 needs to do more to confront ongoing racism, in cluding following this expert advice. The lack of substan tive responses to racial inci dents at Strong and Cogin chaug last spring (and in the past), have made this abun dantly clear.

We all need to be aware that racism is an ongoing prob lem in our schools and com munity.

I am sad to say that that I live in a community that is not a welcoming place for people of color. If I were African American, I would not want to live in Durham or Middle field and I certainly would not want to send my chil dren to District 13 schools.

Lucy Meigs, Durham

Re-elect Fishbein

Editor:

I would like to express my continued support for Craig Fishbein in his quest to re tain his seat in the Connecticut legislature. Since meeting Mr. Fishbein one year ago, after relocating to Wallingford, I have found him to be a re spected civic leader, in formed and informative, and an active member of the community.

I have no doubt that when Mr. Fishbein is re-elected he will continue to admirably serve Wallingford, and now Middlefield. I look forward to his continued positive work as our State Represen tative.

John Abbagnaro, Wallingford

Vote Hyland

Editor:

The 90th District has a choice. It can re-elect an in cumbent who embarrassed his district, his party and the state when he retweeted a racist meme last election. In three terms, can anyone list a single bill Craig Fishbein initiated to pass as law that had any significance?

In contrast, Rebecca Hyland is a bridge builder. She used these skills as a public de fender and as a social stud ies teacher. She understands that to represent, all must have a seat at the table to thrive.

Last election, seven votes decided the race. This elec tion, make your vote the de cisive one for Rebecca Hy land.

The page includes access to the ParentSquare sign-up form, as well as instructions on how to enroll in the “RSD 13 Community.”

ParentSquare, a school-tohome digital communica tion platform, allows en rollees to receive emergency notifications, sign up for teacher conferences and field trips, keep on top of their child’s performance in the classroom, and more.

“Communication with the community has always been an issue that the board has been grappling with,” Petrel la said. “We are always try ing to find additional ways

to get messages out, because we are always hearing peo ple say that they ‘don’t know,’ and information is coming back that isn’t the way we said it.”

By allowing members of the community who are not school parents, guardians or employees access to Par entSquare, more resi dents can view RSD13 an nouncements.

A recent message was about the bus situation on the first day of school.

“The community does not have the opportunity to see what goes on in the schools,” Petrella said.

‘Bee’ at the Giving Garden Oct. 15

By Sue VanDerzee

The Durham Middlefield Giving Garden is winding down its fourth successful season providing fresh, or ganic produce to seniors and social services in both our towns.

The last garden talk program on Saturday, Oct. 15, 11 a.m., will feature Nancy and Alan Poole, resident Middle field beekeepers.

While it is too late in the season to disrupt the hives above the garden at the Middlefield Community Center, the Poole’s will share their extensive knowl edge of the essential inter connectedness of bees and humans, exploring the mira cle of bee communication and navigation.

There will also be a dedica tion of a birdbath in the gar den in memory of faithful volunteer Kassie Rodeen.

Because this will be our last program in the garden for 2022, the Giving Garden team will supply snacks and drinks for attendees.

All are welcome. We will meet in the senior lunch room in case of rain.

There are still a few weeks of harvesting and preparing the garden for next season so if you’d like to help, the team meets Wednesdays from 9 to 11 a.m. and Saturdays from 9 to 11 a.m. until Oct.15.

New faces and hands are al ways welcome. No special skills are necessary.
