The past several autumns, the Sass family of Rockfall has gone above and beyond when it comes to decorating for Halloween. “Every year we just started adding more and more and get ting bigger and bigger,” said Julie Sass, who re sides at 145 Ross Road.
And, for many, the Sass’ yard has become a mustsee during the spooky season.
With so many people stopping by to view the out door Halloween set-up each October, the Sass family decided to combine its love of the holiday with its love of the community.
Now, the Sass’ use the annual attraction to gener ate nonperishable food items and cleaning prod ucts for the Middlefield Food Pantry. Visitors to

The CRHS Project Gradua tion committee is already hard at work planning for the 2023 graduation. For those who don't know, we are a group of parent volun teers (many of whom no longer have children at CRHS) who plan a safe, in clusive, fun-filled event the night of graduation. The graduating seniors depart CRHS and head to CT Sport sPlex for a night of games, food and dancing. The tradi tion started in 1990 and we are proud to have continued this important event.
We are asking for new mem bers to join our committee and junior parents willing to chaperone the event. We are also seeking a sponsor to supply T-shirts for the grad uates, which are worn at the event and treasured as their last CRHS memory. Please contact me at jczdpa@ya hoo.com if you are able to help us with any of these needs. We sincerely appreci ate your support.
Jen Zettergren, Project Graduation treasurer, DurhamEditor:
Please support John-Michael Parker for state representa tive in November’s election.
John-Michael is an energet ic, committed supporter of his constituents in Durham and Madison. Since his elec tion in 2020, he has proven to be an advocate for the needs and wishes of our community while also sup porting our state budget that lowers taxes and balances the budget.
In addition, John-Michael is a unifier, as he reaches across the aisle to address the issues that are critical to
our community. For exam ple, John-Michael led the passage of opiate legislation that passed this past May with unanimous bipartisan support. Please vote JohnMichael Parker in November!
Matt Taber, DurhamEditor:
Rebecca Hyland is the Democratic candidate for State Representative in Wall ingford and Middlefield. Her support for family and com mon-sense laws make her an ideal lawmaker.
For the past six years, her opponent, Craig Fishbein, went against CT leaders when it came to school mask mandates and fingerprinting for gun purchases.
This district has a reputation for Yankee practicality. Vote for a moderate legislator who can see both sides.
Alma Elder, MiddlefieldPolitical signs are every where. One reads "Re-elect John Michael Parker." Parker supposedly represents Madi son/Durham, but one of his mailers is titled "Millions for Madison"? With assistance from Parker, Madison re ceived over $4 million in state aid. How much for Durham?
Parker seems more con cerned with social issues than with seniors’ ability to heat their homes this winter. People are struggling while Parker co-sponsors HB6515, which prohibits discrimina tion based upon hairstyle.
This Yale-educated Madison resident doesn’t really repre sent Durham at all. We can do better.
Nick Faiella, MiddlefieldIt's amazing that the very people who drive a company onto the rocks expect share holders to allow them to continue driving when they should be fired and shown the door. We are seeing this scenario in today's politics. The very people whose poli cies have led to the highest rate of inflation in decades, increases in energy, gas, food and heating prices, along with an open southern border, an increased crime rate and shrinking retire ment accounts are expecting to return to Washington, D.C. to continue this reck lessness. Given the current situation, I find it impossible to vote for any incumbent this November.
Paul Haberern, DurhamFolks in CT’s 101st House District, (Durham/Madison), have a real choice on Nov. 8. John Rasimas, CPA, recently retired Chief State Auditor, is running for that seat on the Republican ticket. John is a fiscal conservative and social moderate who seeks to serve
our community in the House of Representatives through the pursuit of fiscal account ability, juvenile justice re form and the restoration of the state’s diminishing sup port of RSD13.
Please vote for John Rasimas as our State Representative.

DURHAM- Marie A. Kaczynski joined the angels on October 4, 2022 from Regency House in Wallingford with family by her side. She was a longtime resident of Durham having resided there since 1967.
Marie was born 90 years ago at her grandparents’ home in East Haven to John and Theresa (Bologna) Panico and was married for 59 years to Walter Kaczynski who predeceased her in 2015.
She leaves behind her children, David Kaczynski of Hardwick, VT and Marybeth Kaczynski-Hill of Meriden; her grandson, Jeremiah Kaczynski and his partner, Kayla Davis; her great granddaughter, Ella Kaczynski of Harwinton; her sister, Annette Fusco of East Haven; her brother Robert Panico of East Haven; sisters-in-law, Josephine Panico of North Haven, Geraldine Spadacenta and Helen (Frank) Stopka of Branford; and brotherin-law, Ted (Dianne) Kaczynski of Branford; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

of East Haven High School and went to work as a secretary for OlinWinchester. She left to raise her children and returned to work years later as an aide at Strong Middle School. She later worked as Assistant Tax Collector for the Town of Durham and retired from Lake Grove at Durham. Marie chaperoned almost every field trip that her children attended. She bowled in many leagues over the 60 plus years bowling in East Haven, Wallingford, and Berlin, as well as in tournaments both in and out of the state. Marie and her friends comprised the Country Maids homemaker group where they made crafts and enjoyed each other’s company. She had a good time with the
Scarlett O’Hattas Red Hat group and the monthly Friday night poker game. Marie loved angels and decorated her tree entirely of angels every Christmas. Memories of making and decorating cookies every Christmas with her children will live forever with them. Trips to the casino, Florida to see her brothers, and local trips were shared with Walt. Marie called her trip with Marybeth to Italy the “trip of a lifetime”. She was an avid fan of the UCONN Women’s basketball team and rarely missed watching a game. She loved the NY Yankees after becoming a late in life fan from watching games with Walt.
The family thanks the Regency House staff for their caring and support they showed Marie and the family.
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at 10 am at Notre Dame Church in Durham. Burial followed in Mica Hill Cemetery in Durham. In lieu of flowers, gifts in Marie’s memory may be sent to the Connecticut Humane Society, 701 Russell Road, Newington CT 06111.

On October 1, Connecticut State Community College began accepting applications for the Fall 2023 semes ter. CT State, as it is more commonly known, is the result of the pending consolidation of Connecticut’s 12 community colleges. The merger will become official July 1, 2023.

This new college – whose foundations are built on over 60 years of academic excellence and student success delivered by the best community college system in the nation – will help Connecticut’s resi dents achieve their educational goals, while meeting the state’s workforce needs,” said Middlesex Community College Interim CEO Kimberly A. Hogan.
Connecticut’s 12 community colleges serve approximately 60,000 students a year. As one institution, CT State will be the largest community college in New England and one of the largest in the nation, as well as the leading provider of higher education in Con necticut.
Students will have access to all the programs, services and support that
