Positive Election Day is finally upon us cases on the rise Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Town of Durham, the State of Connecticut and many other states are experiencing a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases. Despite our residents’ best efforts to prevent infection, the virus has made its presence known over the last two weeks, with more than 10 cases being identified in Durham. COVID-positive individuals and their close contacts have been contacted and are aware of their responsibility to self-quarantine. Durham residents should continue to take precautions such as properly wearing masks, social distancing and frequently washing hands. As residents spend more time indoors with the onset of cooler weather, limiting the size of social gatherings has become more important. Consider postponing indoor activities where mask-wearing or social distancing cannot be maintained, and limit time with non-family members. Also, residents are urged to obtain a seasonal flu vaccination and to stay home when sick. Ill members of a household should minimize contact with others within the household. If you have any questions, please call the Durham Health Department at 860349-8253. Thank you for your attention and do your best to stay healthy. — Laura Francis, First Selectman of the Town of Durham

Pickleball courts near completion By Nadya Korytnikova Town Times
Residents soon will be able to add pickleball to the long list of activities they can enjoy in town. Durham Recreation will open four new pickleball courts in Allyn Brook Park, 50 Pickett Lane. These will replace two worn out tennis courts. Renovation is nearing completion. The opening was scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 25 but was postponed due to rain. The recreation committee will open the pickleball courts once the weather allows for the installation of nets and the application of a second coat of paint to the court lines.
“The tennis courts were in irreparable condition and had to be redone,” said Recreation Committee Chairman Jon Scagnelli. “But since pickleball is becoming such a popular sport, we decided to convert the space into the pickleball courts. I think it is going to be very popular here in Durham.” The town spent $68,000 on the project. Contractors removed debris, brought in new nets, installed new fences, resurfaced the courts and coated them with anti-slip paint to enhance player safety and performance. “We started everything from scratch,” Scagnelli said. “When you are spending so much money, you need to
make sure everything is done properly. That includes having a strong, solid foundation for the courts.” Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, much like a wiffle ball, over a net. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard game Durham’s new pickleball courts will be open from dawn to dusk, weather permitting. Courts will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis, although Scagnelli said the committee See Pickleball, A16

Big Help for Small Business! I’ll Work to Grow Jobs & Local Business in Connecticut A decade of employment growth in Connecticut was erased this year as businesses were shut down by the coronavirus and hundreds of thousands of jobs were slashed. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our community, they drive our economy. They employ hundreds of thousands and work to employ local talent. I will ensure that our state government is doing everything possible to help local businesses grow and create good-paying jobs.
I’ll fight against tax increases. Enough is enough. Spending has gone up $1 billion per year on average, with taxes always following suit. I’ll push to limit spending and stop taxes from going up year after year. We have seen the devastating effects of increased spending and taxes year after year at the State Capitol. I’ll hold the line on spending to help ease the burden on everyone’s wallet. This is the first step to turning Connecticut around!
I’ll fight against tolls. As a veteran, a community volunteer and a business owner, I know what it’s like to serve others while also creating a workable budget. My pledge to residents of the 82nd District is to represent every one of you and take your concerns to Hartford so that Connecticut comes back stronger than ever in 2021!
Tolls were narrowly defeated in the last session. I will oppose tolls, which would just be yet another tax on all state residents. Isn’t our tax burden high enough?

We have raised over $9,000 to give back to our community, supporting local causes like Middlefield’s food and fuel banks, scholarships for our young adults and the walkway to Peckham Park’s pavilion. We have also supported national causes like disaster relief for hurricanes Sandy and Katrina. Funds

the careful art of moving a piano. When asked, Johnny Jenkins, head of Public Works in Durham, said, “Yes, we can make it happen.” And it did happen, on Oct. 22. On behalf of the Durham Senior Citizens Board and the Durham community, I would like to express my gratitude and thank you to all parties involved in this musical adventure. Special thanks and appreciation to Mr. Jenkins and his crew, Eric Zimmerman and Tim Smith. Without their expertise and goodwill, the piano move might not have happened. It’s heartwarming to know that, in these difficult times, the goodness in people shines through.
Ignorant and offensive Editor : I feel the need to challenge Kathryn Joyce’s assertion that COVID-19 has overly affected the Black community because of a Vitamin D deficiency. African Americans are dying from COVID-19 complications at a disproportionate rate than other racial and ethnic groups due to racial inequities in access to quality healthcare, information, testing and underlying health disparities. Furthermore, African Americans, and members of other racial minority groups, are disproportionately represented in essential work settings such as healthcare facilities, factories, grocery stores and public transportation, therefore increasing their potential exposure to the virus. Ms. Joyce references her proof in the “resilience of the homeless in sunny Los Angeles.” Sunny Los Ange-

Halloween guidance from the Connecticut DPH
As a result, we will need to celebrate many fall traditions differently this year, including Halloween. Traditional Halloween activities carry a high risk for spreading COVID-19, but we can reduce that risk significantly by organizing and participating in fun, lower or moderate risk alternatives. The holiday may look different this year, but the Connecticut Department of Public Health believes we can still enjoy a happy (and healthy) Halloween. The CT DPH recommends that everyone planning to participate in Halloween activities this year review the guidance recently issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That guidance describes “lower” “moderate” and “higher” risk activities. DPH recommends that Connecticut residents avoid higher risk Hal-
loween traditions and focus celebrations on the lower and moderate risk activities.
Trick-or-treating
The ability to maintain social distancing and follow face covering rules is especially important when participating in Halloween activities
Traditional trick-or-treating is a high risk activity. Instead, the CDC and CT DPH recommends participating in one-way trick-or-treating where goodie bags or a large bowl of candy are placed outside of your home for families to grab and go while continuing to social distance.
In addition, please refrain from leaving your home for any Halloween activity and do not pass out Halloween candy if you are ill or have traveled to one of the states listed on the Connecticut travel advisory between Oct. 16 and Oct. 30 (i.e. 14 days before Halloween).
For people who choose to hand out candy:
Recommendation:
If you are preparing goodie bags, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 second before and after preparing the bags.

Compared to the final selfresponse rate of 66.5% for the 2010 Census, 67% were accounted for through selfresponse to date, with the rest having been accounted for through our Nonre-
“America stepped up and answered the call: shape your future by responding to the 2020 Census,” said Dr. Steven Dillingham, Director of the Census Bureau. “Generally, better data comes from self-response, but after a decade of global decline in census and survey participation along with the challenges presented to communities by COVID-19, we had not expected to exceed the 2010 self-response rate. That we did is a testament to the American people, our nearly 400,000 national and community partners, and very importantly our staff.”

perts are now busy making sure everyone was counted once, only once, and in the right place,” Dillingham continued. “The Census Bureau will use the best methodologies available to resolve the very small number of unresolved addresses and to ensure that our data products are accurate.”

Before she arrived on the scene I spent a goodly portion of my adult life driving around in circles, not having a clue as to where I was, growing more frustrated and panicked by the minute. Ah, but those days are long behind me.
I think, though, that Sadie could help me out a lot more often than when I am behind the wheel. For instance, when I am at Stop & Shop, lingering in front of the frozen dessert section, perhaps she could gently remind me that this is not my final destination. (Per-

Distracted Driving Awareness Drivers are continuously ignoring their responsibilities behind the wheel, and distracted driving is a growing and deadly threat on our roadways. October is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and in Connecticut, if you text and drive, you will pay. Violating Connecticut’s distracted driving laws can be costly. Drivers who are ticketed for this violation can be fined $150 for a first offense, $300 for a second offense and $500 for third and subsequent offenses. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2018, 2,841 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers.
Eight percent of fatal crashes, 15 percent of injury crashes and 14 percent of all police-reported motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2018 were reported as distractionaffected crashes. — Press Release
