Levi Coe founding library volunteer group By Mark Dionne

Town Times

Levi Coe Library is looking for a few good friends.

Volunteer supporters of Middlefield’s Levi Coe Library are founding a library support group, to be called The Friends of Levi Coe Library, and are kicking it off with a membership drive party on Saturday, Feb. 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. “We’ve always had friends, but we’ve never formalized,” said Catherine Zawacki, one of the organizers and founders of the friends group.

Zawacki said that the library has never had an official friends group, but relies on its Board of Directors and a small group of dedicated volunteers. “If we have a more formal friends group, that would take some of the pressure off the people that always volunteer,” Zawacki said, “so the same people aren’t doing everything every time.” The kick off party will take place in Library Hall at the Levi Coe Library with food and displays up for people

to stop by and ask about the new organization. “We’d like people to come and meet us, hear what we have to say, and hopefully like what they see and want to be a part of it. Sometimes people fear they have to do a lot, and they don’t,” Zawacki said. Starting an official friends group was one of Jess Lobner’s goals when she took the position of Library Director in January of 2015, Looking forward to the kick off party, See Friends / Page 24

Ice fishing fanatics finally got their wish after below-zero temperatures swept the area this past weekend, creating enough ice to safely fish. “The season started out slow, then picked up, had a small break in between and now we have plenty of ice,” said Charlie Szadaj, a Meriden resident and owner of Uncle B’s Bait, Tackle and Paintball in Wallingford. The cold snap increased traffic at Szadaj’s shop over the weekend, including many local and regular customers. Several anglers set up at Meriden’s Black Pond Monday. Among them were Berlin residents Jeremy Wood, 16, and brother Josh Wood, 13, who were fishing with their father. “We’ve got 10 trout,” Jeremy Wood said. A couple minutes later, Josh came over to hand him another freshly caught trout. Jer-

emy helped attach it to their growing fish chain. Monday marked the Wood boys’ second day out in the same “lucky” spot. They prepared for the below-zero temperatures by bringing a tent. They set up a propane heater along with two camping chairs. Sebby Milano, 76, a Meriden native and Southington resident, said he spent six hours Monday at Black Pond, his favorite spot for ice-fishing. “This time of the year you’re stuck in the house as couch potatoes. It’s about getting out and getting some fresh air,” Milano said. When Milano and his buddies arrived Monday morning, the temperature was minus-8. To keep warm, Milano wore five layers of clothing and a thick pair of gloves. Milano and Szadaj both said four inches of ice was safe enough for fishermen. Szadaj said most local lakes and ponds should have at least See Fishing / Page 4

BOS. DeFelice said that the “POCD is the priority,” said DeFelice. “We’re trying very hard to keep the schedule.” Resistance to the idea of mixed use on Main Street has been vocal. At the start of the Feb. 3, P&Z meeting DeFelice addressed the audience to defend the integrity of the P&Z members, saying that they were doing their best to operate in the best interest of the town. State requirements, DeFelice told the meeting crowd, also forced Durham’s actions in some cases. DeFelice later said he made that address because, “In a public hearing it’s critical that we hear both sides of any argument ... [and] all sides. It’s important for everyone to be respectful of each other even if they have differing viewpoints.”

online survey, active until 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 for people who missed the charrette, at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DurhamPOCD. According to DeFelice, FHI will compile the charrette results and present them to P&Z during the week of Feb. 22-26. P&Z expects to present a completed POCD on March 2 to the BOS, followed by a public hearing, currently scheduled for June 1, and a BOS vote on adoption at a later June meeting. P&Z is also planning to deliver a special presentation devoted to mixed use on Main Street on March 16. That meeting will feature a Power Point presentation approved by P&Z. Potentially, that event will occur after the POCD has already been referred to the

weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Opinions in those categories were given to facilitators, either P&Z members or FHI workers, who took them on Post-It Notes and stuck them to boards. The Main Street issues showed up on those boards, as people listed things like Main Street’s historic homes as a strength while others listed resident’s opposition to development as a weakness. One station asked how Durham could attract and retain Millennials. Among the many results were suggestions that Millennials would be attracted to a protected Main Street and others that Millennials would live in mixed use developments. The charrette also featured questions about biking and walking in town and had a model of Korn school converted to a community center. After participating, Raffaela Fronc, of Durham, called the process informative and also noted that consistency in the answers should lead to a clear report from FHI. DeFelice said, “Commission members received a great deal of feedback from attendees.” P&Z has also opened an

tended the exercise and called the turnout “amazing.” “I’m thrilled with the turnout,” said Elizabeth Shoudy of Durham after participating in the 2 p.m. session. “I think it shows people want a Durham that is thriving.” Fransisco Gomes of the planning firm Fitzgerald and Halliday, which conducted the charrette, said that the exercise was “very early in the process” and would “provide guidance to the Planning and Zoning Commission.” Both Gomes and DeFelice, in his introduction of Gomes, emphasized that the planning was about the whole town and not just one area. Almost all of the previous public discussion about the POCD has centered around the idea of re-zoning Main Street for mixed use properties. Controversy over that idea has brought crowds to recent P&Z and Board of Selectmen meetings. Using clickers to vote from 1-5, participants at the presentations gave reactions to images of things like an apartment building, a farmers market, high-end housing, and various businesses. All of the pictures showed structures in good condition – homes with mani-

cured lawns, streets without clutter, apartments or condos with pleasant landscaping, and business structures without vacancies. There were no location indicators in the pictures to show if the office building or development was in the center of town, the outskirts, or on an industrial road. Many of the pictures produced consensus in the results, which were shown after each image. At the 2 p.m. session, 40 people out of 60 voted 1, or strongest dislike, for a strip mall featuring a Starbucks, and 47 selected strongest dislike for an apartment or condo building. Participants clicked in favor of parks, bike paths, farms and rolling hills, giving positive vote totals in the mid- to high-40s for each of those images. Other images produced more scattered results. An outdoor walking mixed use development produced a balanced result at the 2 p.m. session. Fourteen people gave it a strongest dislike vote, 14 gave it a middle vote, and 14 gave it a strongest like vote. The 3 p.m. session produced similar results. The charrette also recorded opinions for what planners call SWOT analysis, for Durham’s strengths,

Sports Strong start to the month for Coginchaug boys By Alan Pease After a bit of an up and down January (4-4 during the month), the Coginchaug boys basketball team started February strong, sweeping four games from teams close to it in the standings. On Tuesday, Feb. 2, the 7-5

Devils traveled to the 7-6 Bellringers of East Hampton. East Hampton got off to a good start, and led 30-27 at the half. The Bellringers also scored the first points of the second half, but a Cam Powers three started a 14-0 Coginchaug run that went into the final period. Powers next collected a steal

and a long assist to a streaking Jake Sapia for the tie. Kyle Judson hit the bucket that put the Devils on top for good, assisted on a Hunter Jamison three, then scored again to make a major contribution to the winning run. The Devils held East Hampton to only seven points in the

On Tuesday, Feb. 2, the 9-5 Coginchaug girls basketball team traveled to the 12-2 Bellringers of East Hampton. Unfortunately for the locals, the most memorable moment of the game was an injury to Alana Beckert, who appeared to take an elbow to the face late in the first period, leading to her leaving the game, not to return. And her absence showed in the score

sheet, as the Blue Devils could not score at all in the first period, and trailed 11-0 after one quarter, and 25-9 at the half. Ultimately, Coginchaug fell 44-32. Larissa Cade was the top scorer for Coginchaug with 22. Jessica King scored four, and Ami Arcari and Virginia Benbow each scored two. Fo r E a s t H a m p t o n , Gyanna Russell scored 17 and Meghan Orbann netted 11. From there, on Thursday,

finishing the lay-up from the right side, for the Devils’ only field goal of the period with 2:07 remaining. North Branford, again, made it close with a lay-in, but Coginchaug hit just enough from the free throw line, with two from Arcari being particularly important, to preserve a 42-38 win. Lane and Beckert each

scored 10 points, with Lane pulling in 18 rebounds. King scored nine, and Cade seven. Sabrina LeMere scored 21 points for North Branford. Coginchaup wrapped up its recent road trip by taking on the 16-2 Huskies of Morgan on Friday, Feb. 12. Morgan outscored the Devils by double digits in all but the second period. This re-

sulted in an easy 65-31 win for the Huskies. Cade led the Devils with 11 points, with Benbow adding nine, and Lane six. Sami Ashton led the Huskies with 28 points, Josie Sullivan scored 16, and Riley Smith added 10. With the loss, the Coginchaug girls dropped to 11-7 (9-6 Shoreline Conference.)

third period, a Powers bucket started a 10-0 run for the Devils that saw them go from a 51-42 deficit to a 52-51 lead midway through the fourth period. Five different players contributed to this run. Morgan came back to go ahead on a three, but a mini 5-0 run again put the Devils ahead, 57-54. Morgan did manage again to tie, on a free throw and a basket, as regulation finished at 57-57. The overtime started with the Huskies gaining the advantage with a basket a couple of different times. But with the Devils trailing 62-59 with under two minutes left, they put together a 6-0 run to finish the game. Sapia had a nice little dribble drive down the left side

of the lane to pull to within one, and after Morgan missed two in a row from the line, Jameson hit a jumper from the free throw line to put the Devils up. Morgan missed three chances from the field on their next possession, and it looked like Jameson and Wyskiel combined to get the jump ball on the last attempt. On the Coginchaug inbounds play, Wyskiel went long down the right side, and Sapia hit him right at the 3-point line for the easy lay-up and a 65-62 win. Powers led the Devils with 24 points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal. Wyskiel led the team in rebounding, with

10, and added six points, three assists and two steals. Jameson scored nine points, and added four rebounds, two assists and a block. Griffin Murphy scored seven, and had five rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block. Jack Murphy scored five, adding four rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal. Sapia scored nine points, and added three assists. Judson scored five points to go along with three rebounds and two assists. For Morgan, Dylan Ketch scored 24 and Gabe Erikson scored 19 points. With the win, Coginchaug improved to 11-5 (9-5 Shoreline Conference.)

Close was the only double digit scorer, with 14. Next up, on Tuesday, Feb. 9, the Coginchaug boys hosted the 3-11 Thunderbirds of North Branford. The Devils had strong first and fourth periods, and led by 13-4 after the first. But they left the door open for the second and third periods, as North Branford got to within a single point, at 33-32, to finish the third period. But the Devils pretty well controlled things from there, outscoring the Thunderbirds 19-14 in the fourth to come away with a 52-46 victory. Griffin Murphy was a top contributor for the victors, scoring 11 points, leading the team in rebounds with nine, assisting four times and grabbing two steals. Powers was the leading scorer with 16, also adding six rebounds, three assists and a steal. Wyskiel scored 10 and added six boards and an assist. Sapia was the leading assist man with seven, also adding six points and four rebounds. Jameson scored seven and added four rebounds. Jack Murphy had five rebounds, two points, a block and an assist. For North Branford, Brett LeQuire scored 17 and Jimmy Augur added 15 points. On Wednesday, Feb. 10, Coginchaug hosted the 8-6 Cougars of H-K. H-K took a 28-20 lead at the half, and led 43-36 entering the final period. The score bounced around a bit early in the fourth, but with Coginchaug trailing 42-49, the Devils put together a 11-0 run to jump ahead 53-49. Griffin Murphy started it with a three, Sapia scored four in the run, and Powers hit the free throws that finally knotted the score at 49-49.

The Cougars did manage to tie the game again, at 53, but a free throw from Griffin, a bucket from Jack and two charity hits from Powers put Coginchaug up 58-53, just enough to make a final three from H-K irrelevant, and making the final score 58-56. Griffin Murphy scored 11, and led the team in rebounds with nine. He also had an assist and a block. Powers led the team in scoring with 16, adding two assists and two rebounds. Wyskiel rounded out the double digit scorers with 10 points, adding seven rebounds and an assist. Sapia scored seven points, and added two each of rebounds, assists and steals. Jameson scored nine points, adding three assists and two rebounds. Jack Murphy scored five, blocked three shots, and had three rebounds and an assist. From there, on Friday, Feb. 12, the 10-5 Devils hosted the 7-7 Huskies of Morgan, and got all that they could handle. After back and forth first and second periods, Morgan took a 34-27 lead at the half, and pretty much maintained that size advantage throughout the third period. Just before the end of the

Opinion A good plan for voter registration About one-third of eligible voters in Connecticut are not registered to cast a ballot, and Secretary of the State Denise Merrill wants to see that number shrunk. So, last week, the Democrat proposed legislation which would allow voters to automatically register when conducting business at the state Department of Motor Vehicles. This, of course, should lead to more people voting; which is a positive for both Connecticut and our democracy. Also, the state automatically registering voters at the DMV will make things easier on municipalities, which now handle the vast majority of voter registration. Merrill said this initiative could add some 400,000 Connecticut residents to the voter rolls by making the process “easy and accessible.” “We have the technology to run an easier, more efficient and cost-effective system,” she said. The Record-Journal reports that under the DMV voter registration plan, “a person would be automatically registered to vote after conducting business at the DMV, unless they decide to opt out. Information necessary for voter registration, such as age and place of residence, would be collected from drivers’ licenses. The state would determine if the person is eligible to vote. If so, they would be automati-

cally registered as a non-affiliated voter. The person could still register with a political party, but would not be able to do so at the DMV.” Now it’s up to the Government Administration and Elections Committee to raise the bill for consideration. Similar legislation has been introduced in other states. And, of course, politics being what it is, not everyone likes the idea. As stated in the R-J report, “In Oregon, Democrats supported the automatic voter registration law, while Republicans said the government shouldn’t be trying to register people who aren’t interested in voting.”

This is preposterous, and one should question the motives of politicians who wish to see fewer people registered to vote. Cheri Quickmire, executive director of Common Cause in Connecticut, a lobbying group focusing on state government operations, put it well when she said, “We think our democracy works best when more people are able to make their voices heard.” We agree. But whether newly enrolled voters decide to show up at the polls on Election Day is another story. — This editorial was originally published in the Record-Journal.

My socks have gone rogue. They have been misbehaving on the way from the dryer to my drawers, and I would give them a time-out, if I could find them. Apparently a good number of them no longer wish to be monogamous, and have run off with a new paramour – perhaps something with a flashier color and stripes. It’s the only explanation I can come up with, because come “drawer time,” so many socks have been left behind, unpaired, and, I imagine, quite lonely. In a game of “hide and seek,” these renegades win hands (feet?) down, every time. I have searched high and low, and low and high, and they are nowhere to be found. It’s quite possible they are schmoozing with my pants, which have obviously joined in on the colossal joke. The last time I saw the aforementioned pants they were sitting demurely on my bureau, and then, poof, they were gone. Note to self: Put clothes into drawers, thereby making it harder for them to make a dash for freedom.

And it’s not just the clothes that revel in this vanishing act. Food disappears with such speed that I often wonder if I am, as I had previously thought, the only occupant of this house. Seriously, I have pondered the very real possibility that at night, when I am fast asleep, elves arrive on the scene and empty out the refrigerator and the cabinets. They’re very quiet, so I never catch them in the act. But no sooner have I brought home bushels of food, then it is gone, and I am left standing at the fridge, door open, staring down one lone turnip. I’m going with the elves story, because I know that the rapid decline in edibles can in no way be attributed to me sitting in front of the TV every night, working my way through it all like it’s my last meal on earth. No, it’s definitely the elves. Honestly, though, nothing seems to stick around in this house for very long. It’s all starting to feel like a conspiracy. Paperwork and

Letters to the Editor Participation appreciated To the editor: On behalf of the Planning & Zoning Commission, I want to express the commission’s appreciation to the more than 250 Durham residents who participated in our Visioning Charrette. This was a first-ever event for the town; and the charrette process provided a forum for our residents to

communicate their vision for Durham’s future to the commission through a series of fun and interactive exercises. The commission places a high value on the information gleaned from this charrette and from our earlier Visioning Session, as we update Durham’s Plan of Conservation and Development. Residents who were unable to participate at the charrette can still contribute their opinions, by taking

our online survey at https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/ DurhamPOCD until 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 20. Warm regards, Frank DeFelice Chairman, Durham Planning & Zoning Commission

I have never gotten along, so I really can’t blame it for up and leaving. It can feel my disdain, I’m sure. And keys just love it when I must hunt for them. I’d like to think they are just being kind and are warming up the car for me, but to date they have done no such thing. If anything, they would be providing a quick getaway for the socks and the pants and the elves. So it will come as no surprise to you that I am always leaving notes for myself that read, ‘Find ____________.” Just about anything will fit into that blank. I’m making peace with the sock uprising, though. I realize it’s a losing battle, and I’m waving the white flag. Now I just go about my day with different colored socks. I used to think it was a matter of necessity, but I’ve come to like it. I think it makes a real fashion statement.

Along with devaluing residential property in the proposed mixed zone, which is by all experience a sure thing, the proposed change was described by one of the newly-elected P&Z commissioners as “business friendly” citing a demand for more commercial space. But many owners invested in commercially-zoned properties on Main Street disagree. Durham has many empty store fronts and acres of undeveloped commercial properties abutting the residential zone. Where’s the Economic Development Commission? Under Ms. Francis’s watch, the Economic Development Commission has not met since September, 2014. No recent effort has been made to attract industry to Durham. Industrial development is what Durham needs, not more retail space in a market where the demand is weak.

activity in this irreplaceable town asset. Our Main Street is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the very few left in Connecticut that has been spared from over-commercialization. The proposed change would reverse 60 years of zoning regulations meant to preserve this national treasure. P&Z members are trying to sell the idea that cute little retail shops would create tax revenue to help our town meet the expenses of government. Right now there are 73 businesses on Main Street. Only 16 of them pay $1,000 or more in personal property tax. With the exception of Durham Manufacturing Company, the total contribution of these businesses beyond property taxes is $60,937. That represents 2/10 of 1 percent of the town’s budget. Durham Manufacturing pays $72,500 in personal property tax alone. That’s more than all the other businesses on Main Street combined.

On Dec. 16, 2015 the Citizens Bank-Durham branch office identified a counterfeit $100 bill being deposited from a local restaurant identified as Dine-In Durham. This information was reported to Durham Resident State Trooper TFC Morello who initiated a criminal investigation into this incident. Morello worked with the United States Secret Service throughout this investigation and as a result of the lengthy investigative efforts into this case, two suspects were identified as being involved with knowingly passing this counterfeit $100 bill at the Dine-In Durham Restaurant on Route 17 in Durham. Morello completed arrest warrants applications for each of the suspects and those arrest warrants were granted by the Middletown Superior Court for the arrest of the two suspects. The two suspects were arrested on Wed., Feb. 10 at their residences by Morello and Troopers from Troop F, Westbrook Barracks.

Officials say 31-year-old Dragone was arrested Sept. 18 after police searched his home and found clothing and sunglasses similar to those worn in the Durham robbery. He faces up to 20 years in prison when he’s sentenced on May 13.

The U.S. Attorney’s office says he admitted to robbing or attempting to rob seven different banks from Aug. 12 to Sept. 11. Officials say the banks were located in Berlin, Deep River, Wethersfield, Cheshire, Rocky Hill, Durham and Killingworth.
