Residents oppose ban on cannabis businesses

One more fun day at the park

By Nadya Korytnikova Town Times

Several residents spoke out against the proposed ordinance banning cannabis establishments in Durham during an Oct. 25 public hearing.

The sky was clear and the weather was perfect during the annual Halloween Family Fun Day in Durham. Hosted by the Recreation Department, the Oct. 31 event at Allyn Brook Park featured activities for kids, sweet treats, live music, a costume parade, and more.

Officials also discussed the ordinance banning the use of tobacco and cannabis products on town-owned properties. Durham resident Philip Muzio supports banning tobacco and cannabis use on town-owned properties but suggested the town allow for cannabis establishments. See Cannabis, A7

CORRECTION / CLARIFICATION A referendum question on the 2021 municipal election ballot asked residents: “Shall the Regional School District 13 Plan of Regionalization be amended to authorize the Region 13 Board of Education to close John Lyman Elementary School in the Town of Middlefield?” The majority of voters answered in the affirmative. The unofficial results showed the vote was 1,555 to 1,159 in favor of closing the school. However, the majority of voters in each town had to vote “yes” for the referendum to pass, and that did not happen. While voters in Durham favored closing the school, in Middlefield, those voting “no” won out. An article in the Nov. 5 Town Times did not make that clear, and the headline indicated, incorrectly, that the referendum passed.

Lawmakers to host Juvenile Justice Forum on Monday in North Haven In response to the rise in juvenile crime in Connecticut, most especially the increase in incidents involving the theft of motor vehicles, a public forum to address the issues has been scheduled.

questions. Per facility rules, masks are required. A press release announcing the Nov. 15 forum states: "This stark rise in juvenile crime has alarmed residents from towns and cities throughout the state. Car breakins, car jackings, stolen vehicles and other property-related crimes being committed by juveniles who, when caught, display little fear of prosecution.

State Rep. Dave Yaccarino (R-87), House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora (R- 86) and state Representative Craig Fishbein (R-90), ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, will hold a Juvenile Justice Forum on Monday, Nov. 15, starting at 7 p.m. at the Mildred A. Wakeley Community & Recreation Center, located at 7 Linsley St. in North Haven.

“For many homeowners and property owners, these crimes are personal, with many feeling like their voices aren't being heard.

The Republican lawmakers will discuss changes to Connecticut laws over the last 10 years, the most recent data, and details of the House Republicans’ plan to address the problem through legislation.

“Law enforcement officers have testified that they feel like their hands are tied, and juveniles are being released as quickly as they’re apprehended. Something must be done. Silence and denial are not the answer."

Also, attendees are welcome to ask

Data recently released by the FBI

show that murders and car thefts in Connecticut rose in 2020. Homicides increased — from 77 in 2019 to 108 in 2020 — as they did across the country, but they comprise such a small percentage of overall violent crime that Connecticut’s violent crime rate remained low. Connecticut had the fourth-lowest number of violent crimes of any state in the U.S. Overall, violent crime in Connecticut decreased in 2020; nationally, it increased by about 4.5%. The report did, however, show a marked increase in auto thefts and property crime overall. Car thefts rose across the country during 2020 but not as much as they did in Connecticut. They rose by around 11% nationally and by about 40% in Connecticut. — Citizen report

A great place Editor :

Edward Bailey

Editor : For the first time ever, on Nov. 2, Durham elected members of the Board of Education based on party affiliation. We should all find that troubling. Don’t believe me? Vote totals for the four Democratic candidates ranged from 850 to 897, while those of the Republican candidates ranged from 1,034 to 1,087. I’m a registered Libertarian, so I don’t care which party won, but I don’t think this is good for our town or our children. Until now members of the school board were elected at Town Meetings. Candidates did not have to have a party affiliation, and the Town Meeting provided a forum where they were required to speak to the public and answer questions. On several

www.towntimes.com 500 S. Broad St., Meriden, CT 06450

Perhaps the BOE or Board of Selectmen could allocate a portion of their meetings for candidates take questions. Perhaps the town library could host a “meet the candidate” session. The town Democratic and Republican parties could co-host an event at the high school or the Durham Activity Center. There are many options, but one way or another we need to find a way to learn about BOE candidates as individuals, and not just members of a party. Stephen Liss

Get the booster Editor : Who Is eligible for a COVID19 vaccine booster? According to the Center for Disease Control people who are eligible are those who are 65 years and older, long-term care residents and staff, people age 18 and above who have underlying medical conditions, and who work or live-in high-risk settings such as first responders, healthcare workers, school personnel, and grocery store

According to the Connecticut DPH website “Furthermore, the COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States continue to be remarkably effective in reducing the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even against the widely circulating Delta variant.” They mentioned that all severe cases of people who contracted the disease, are hospitalized and death are among the unvaccinated. Please do not become this fatality. The CDC states people can now mix and match their vaccines. Please Get your COVID-19 vaccine and booster.

Troubling change

There will be another election this year for two more members of the BOE with terms expiring in June. Before then we, as a community, need to find a way for candidates to speak to the public and answer questions so we can elect the best people to serve our children.

Why do I need a booster if I had the initial COVID-19 vaccine? According to the CDC studies have shown that vaccine effectiveness has decreased since you received it and may be less effective against the Delta variant.

I want to express my thanks to the voters of Middlefield and Rockfall for their support in the recent election. The success of the election allows the Bailey-Yamartino team, including the Board of Finance, to continue running the Town economically while investing in future capital needs; all while keeping our Town a great place to live. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve this community.

Sadly, this year there was no organized forum for candidates to speak directly to the public.

THANKING VETS

In Brief

Every November, Cub Scout Pack 33 of Middlefield and Durham is proud to host a Veterans Appreciation dinner to honor local veterans — but this year with COVID still top of mind, they wanted to find a safe alternative without putting Scouts or Vets at risk. On Thursday, Nov. 4, the Pack met at the Middletown Armed Forces Reserve Center bringing home-made baked goods to be boxed and donated. The Scouts also included handwritten cards to thank vets for their service. The event was a huge success with over 300 boxes wrapped and ready to donate. “Hosting this type of event is not only a special way that we can honor our local veterans, but it also teaches our Scouts the importance of community service” says Cub Scout leader Erica Fenwick. “This is an amazing accomplishment and I honestly could not be more proud of our Scout families for all their support.”

Obituaries Lester “Mickey” D. Fowler, Jr. MIDDLEFIELD- Lester “Mickey” Fowler cast off for the next adventure surrounded by his family on October 31, 2021. Mickey was born August 5, 1924, to Lester and Mable Fowler of Middlefield, Connecticut. Always an outdoorsman, Mickey was the first Eagle Scout in Middlesex County, and his skill with all things woodsy and fishy served him well throughout his life. Mickey was standout athlete in baseball and football for Woodrow Wilson High School, graduating with honors in 1943. He went on to Yale, where he joined the Navy when war broke out. He claimed they educated him so thoroughly the war was over before he had a chance to be useful. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1947 with an engineering degree and traveled the country for several years thereafter with his friend, “Duck” Olsen, canoeing and working odd jobs to see the country. He spent six months working in mining and lumber camps before concluding that a life of manual labor might not be all it was cracked up to be. He returned to Connecticut, as he would call it, “the land of milk and honey”, and purchased a local grocery store which soon became Fowler’s Market. Over the years, his children were enlisted to work at the store and memories from those years of forced labor, including mandatory inventory bright and early every New Year’s Day morning, continue to evoke laughter. Fowler’s Market was a popular local gathering spot and the venue from which he

wrote a hilarious advertising column, “Letters from the Janitor,” some of which are archived in the Town Offices. In 1949 Mickey married the beautiful Mary Lee Mozier, and together they raised five children, Douglas, Susan, Stephen, Bruce, and Dwight. Dad conveyed his love of animals and competitive sports, and strove to imprint his respect for honesty, hard work, humor, and humility. Summers were spent on Cedar Island in Clinton, Connecticut, where fishing, sailing, clamming, and crabbing dominated the agenda. Mickey’s only day off was Tuesday, and whatever activities he had planned for that day, including obligatory chores, were not optional for the children. Fishing was a passion, and the kids were forbidden to convey his secret fishing spots or baiting techniques to friends and neighbors. It was frequently speculated that extra laps were imposed by our swimming instructor as a penalty for not squealing. Winters were spent learning to ski at what was then Powder Hill Ski Area, where Mickey taught all five kids and a host of friends the

skills needed to become competitive ski racers in high school and college. Throughout it all, Mickey and Lee loved Dixieland Jazz. They traveled around the state to go dancing regularly, often taking all the kids along. In his spare time, Mickey made beautiful wooden furniture that will be treasured for generations to come. He was a dedicated husband, father, and friend, and his generosity to those in need earned him lifelong respect. Mickey was a successful businessman, and he was a revered Director of the First Federal Savings and Loan Bank in Madison, Connecticut, throughout the 70s and early 80s. He won several awards for innovation and service, but always declined to make an acceptance speech. He joked that he didn’t think he could speak for ten minutes without swearing, but in truth he simply recoiled from any sort of pretense or selfpromotion. Treating Lee to their first real vacation in April of 1988 proved to be an unhappy decision, as the store burned to the ground on April 18, 1988, in his absence. Mickey was lost without his employment and pictures saved over the years show him walking sadly through the charred remains of his livelihood weeks after the fire. Ultimately, he built a professional building where the store had stood. Through his dedication and labor, the office building now contains a wonderful restaurant, The Blackbird Tavern, and a host of offices. A master of all trades, he was able to build or repair almost anything that needed attention over FACEBOOK.COM/ the years. Beloved by RECORDJOURNAL all for his generosity and

humor, Mickey’s nurses continued to take him to “work” until the last week of his life. As he often said in response to how he had spent his day, “Well, I didn’t do much, but it sure seemed like a lot.” Mickey’s mind remained sharp to the end, and he never complained despite what must have been considerable pain. His beaming smile lit the room whenever a loved one arrived. We looked to him for advice and historical perspective to the very end, and we have no one in mind to fill the enormous void his passing will leave. Never a religious man, Mickey was not convinced of life after death. Nonetheless, we believe his unwavering fairness, honesty, and generosity will stand him in good stead wherever he goes. Mickey is survived by his beloved dog, Einstein, his children and their spouses, attentive grandchildren, Lucas, Melissa, Hannah, Samson, Liam, Austin, Katie, and David, as well as his brother, James Fowler and wife, Barbara, nephews and nieces, James Fowler, Jr., Dawn Fowler, Beth Davis, and Kendra Beaver. He was predeceased by his sister, Rita Beaver, her son, Ned, and his grandson, Ben. Arrangements are being handled Biega Funeral Services in Middletown, Connecticut. Condolences may be expressed on their website https://www. biegafuneralhome.com. A celebration of Mickey’s life will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Save the Sound, 900 Chapel Street, Suite 2202, New Haven, Connecticut 06510, or your favorite animal rescue society.

In addition, four new families have signed on and collected their composting kits this week. Since waste disposal fees are charged by weight, and food waste in household garbage ranges from 25-40%, it stands to reason that taking that amount of weight out of the waste stream would be good for local tax bills, and good for the environment because finished compost is a valuable resource.
