RSD13 budget goes to referendum May 3 By Mark Dionne
Town Times
When the proposed 20162017 RSD13 budget goes to referendum in Durham and Middlefield on Tuesday, May 3, it will be significantly different from previous budgets for two reasons. With a 2.16 percent drop in expenditures, it is the first RSD13 budget with an overall spending reduction and, not coincidentally, it is the first budget to account for a closed Korn Elementary School. The final expenditure fig-
ure of $36,705,601 will appear on the ballot. After planned receipts, the proposed net budget is $34,844,142, representing a negative 2.14 percent net change. As originally created by the administrative team and Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Veronesi and presented on Feb. 17, the budget had a 1.48 percent decrease. That figure was reduced at the Board of Education meeting on March 16 by underfunding the salary line by $132,000. After an investigation of the
Minimum Budget Requirement state law and push back from the Middlefield Board of Finance and some of the BOE, the salary line was reduced by another $56,000 and the capital line reserved for track and field replacement was cut by $65,000. The BOE’s decision to drop student activity fees would have been a budget increase if it had not been specifically offset by one of the salary line Members of the Coginchaug girls basketball team play against Middletown during the 2015-2016 season. Like all reductions. Rick Parmelee, a frequent athletes, the students paid an activity fee to participate in their sport. In the proposed 2016-2017 school budget, See Budget / Page A2 activity fees have been dropped. | Mark Dionne / Town Times
Newly planted trees dedicated on Durham town green By Mark Dionne Town Times
O n Sa t u rd ay m o r n ing, April 23, members of the Durham Garden Club and the Town Green Revitalization Project along with about 50 members of the public dedicated 11 newly planted trees on the Durham town green. Tina Gossner, chair of the TGRP, and Ona McLaughlin, member of both the garden club and the TGRP, See Trees / Page A3
The trees dedicated on April 23 were planted along Town House Road, farther from the road than the previous line of trees. The previous trees may have suffered by proximity to the asphalt and traffic. | Mark Dionne / Town Times
More clean up at historic Middlefield cemetery By Mark Dionne Town Times
The Wadsworth chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will return to Middlefield’s Old North Burying Ground on Saturday with a public seminar on cleaning and maintaining the cemetery. The seminar will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and involve hands on work in the burial ground located on Jackson Hill Road in Middlefield. Vice-regent of the Wadsworth DAR, Ellen Halstedt said that all are welcome to the event. “We would like to encourage any scout groups, church groups, students, members of the public or anyone interested in helping preserve this beautiful historic cemetery to attend this informative seminar,” she said. While the first hour will be a tour of the cemetery, Halstedt emphasized that work will be part of the day. “Attendees should plan on wearing clothing appropriate for being out-

into the 19th Century. With north and south ends consisting of tombstones and grave markers and a “Potter’s Field” of unmarked graves in the lowest part between the hills, the Old North Burying Ground is a classic New England cemetery. The cemetery was once cared for by the Middlefield
Historical Society but had fallen into neglect in recent years. The DAR picked the Old North Burying Ground for a clean up day in the fall. Volunteers mowed the long grass, cleared areas around grave markers, and even got rid of brush and small trees growing up from under the tombstones.

Budget commenter at public meetings, has raised the issue of activity fees in previous years and did so again at the April 13 Public Hearing. Parmelee, though usually a voice in favor of decreasing the school budget, said that he philosophically opposed charging a fee to participate in a public school activity. The BOE returned to that subject when members said they were also uncomfortable with the fees. Norm Hicks, the longest serving BOE member, said that the fees were originally put in out of “sheer desperation.” The BOE voted to remove the fees, originally slated for an increase to $75. The proposed budget brings STEM programing to Strong Middle School with units focusing on hands on learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The budget also accounts for hiring a Director of Organizational Development, an administrative position responsible for, among other things, hiring staff and continuing professional development. When this position was questioned, including one failed motion to remove it, Veronesi said the influence of that position was one of the best ways to increase student achievement district-wide. At the administrative level, the Special Education Coordi-
nator position is eliminated. The shifting of the principals along with a retirement results in one less administrator in the budget. At its original presentation, Business Manager Ron Melnik said, “I think this budget represents a big change. We’re heading in the right direction to control the cost and still provide a quality education.” When charged with looking for reductions, Veronesi was asked to look for cuts “outside of the classroom.” On April 15, Veronesi said that if the budget is voted down, programming would have to be cut. Although it represents an overall drop, the budget took a sometimes difficult route to referendum. Presentations,
focused discussions, and adherence to Robert’s Rules of Order were not always welcomed by all BOE members. Members of Middlefield’s BOF felt shut out of a BOE meeting they were invited to. Veronesi and several BOE members subsequently had a meeting with the boards of finance from both towns. The BOE passed the budget to referendum unanimously. On April 15, Veronesi said that if the budget is voted down, programming would have to be cut.
The festivities of the 150th anniversary of Middlefield are scheduled to run through June of 2016. Residents, non-profits, civic groups and businesses are welcome to attend our monthly meeting (rotating between the third Sunday

The TGRP worked with Durham Tree Warden Tim Larkin to pick a variety of trees. Gossner said, “We tried to mix in as many species as we could. In case we lose a species we won’t wipe out the whole green.” One factor in starting the
revitalization project was the decimation of the green’s sugar maples. The Conservation Commission honored the late Ray Kalinowski with a bloodgood maple. A former first selectman and member of the state legislature, Kalinowski led
Durham’s acquisition of 377 acres of open space. Charlie Larsen also ws honored with a bloodgood maple, a currently short but also colorful tree. Gossner read the dedication to her See Trees / Page A4

led the audience on a tour of the trees, speaking on the qualities of the trees and the people to whom they were dedicated. The rain of the drizzly morning held off for the duration of the tour, which extended from the single tree on the green’s southern triangle to a new ginkgo biloba on the corner of Maple Avenue and Main Street on the northern end. Six of the trees honor members of the Eames family, including Lee Eames and George Eames IV for their connections to the Durham Garden Club and the project itself. Lee Eames was honored with a Kwanzan Japanese flowering cherry tree in recognition of being a 59 year member of the Durham Garden Club. The garden club dedicated a little leaf linden to George Eames IV. As Gossner told the audience, “When this revitalization project began, the committee had no idea how it would be funded. George was one of the first donors to step forward and one could argue that his donation kick started
the program.” George Eames III was honored for his lengthy town service, including service as tax collector, on the Library Building Committee, as well as 20 years as chair of the Planning and Zoning Commission. George Eames IV also honored his siblings Pamela Eames Sexton, Deborah Eames Wilbur, and Alan Eames. Those trees are planted along Town House Road, where the Eames siblings grew up. These most recently dedicated trees are among the dozen the TGRP have already planted. The TGRP started three years ago to take an organized look at the soil condition, the loss of trees, and the general condition of the town green. The project has worked mostly from donations and continues to seek donations to continue the tree plantings and potentially install walking paths and bollard fencing. Dr. Francis E. Korn, Jr., born in Durham on Aug. 22, 1916, was surrounded by family for the dedication of a freeman maple in his honor, just a few months shy of his 100th birthday.

An actor in search of a part State Rep. Buddy Altobello and First Selectman Ed Bailey inspecting invasive plants in Lake Beseck.
Help keep Lake Beseck healthy By Michael Hayes As the world celebrated Earth Day on April 22, officials in Middlefield recalled the past and looked toward the future in the town’s effort to restore and revitalize what has often been referred to as one of Middlefield’s crown jewels—Lake Beseck. “As a town we have made great progress in our efforts to understand the ecology of Lake Beseck. The town by establishing the Environment Committee and providing re-
sources to benefit the Lake, demonstrates a commitment and determination today and into the future to improve and protect the ecology of Lake Beseck” said First Selectman Ed Bailey. Over the past four years, the town has worked closely with the Lake Beseck Environment Committee, an all-volunteer resident group formed in 2012 to address water quality issues plaguing the 116-acre lake.

Here are the facts on measles from the World Health Or-

We all say it. Where does the time go? Another year has rolled by, and here I am, once again looking forward to my annual trip to Goodspeed. My friend buys me a ticket every year for my birthday, and tonight we will have the time of our lives. And I will wonder, as I always do, why I didn’t pursue an acting career. Because I so wish I was up on that stage. I almost did (pursue an acting career, not get up on the stage). I took a lot of theater classes in college, and I was in my glory. My mother used to tell me to stop being so dramatic, but as it turned out, that little personality quirk served me well during my theatrical years (as I like to call them). My favorite role was the lead in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?” Elizabeth Taylor was the original, and those were some tough shoes to fill, let me tell you. (Well, not shoes, exactly, if you catch my drift. Suffice it to say that socks found another job to do besides hanging out with the aforementioned shoes.) It was such great fun to prance around the stage and rant and rave and have a potty mouth. And be applauded for it! It was a side of myself that apparently had been longing to make an appearance for quite some time. The part also called for smoking, which I did not know how to do. So I just dangled the cigarette out of the corner of my mouth, puffing on it like I was a steam engine, not inhaling. It makes for a pretty picture, doesn’t it? Then there was my role in “Barefoot in the Park.” Originally played by Jane Fonda, it required no stuffing and no
smoking and no expletives, and the title alone told me it would be a good fit. The character, who was considerably more refined than Ginny Wolf, was all for living life outside the box. I really didn’t have to work too hard for that one. My acting “career” got its jumpstart when I was in high school, playing Mrs. Gibbons in our school play, “House of the Seven Gables.” Mrs. Gibbons was a humorous character, matronly, with a shrill voice. (Yeah, that probably wasn’t too much of a stretch, either.) I was a few miles beyond nervous before I went on, but once my feet hit that stage, it felt like I had been born there. I loved the laughter, I loved the applause, I loved being someone else for a while. My friend — the same friend who is taking me to Goodspeed — was not having quite so much fun. She was in the wings, pacing back and forth before she went on, flapping her arms in a vain attempt to air herself out, as her dress shields had fallen woefully short of their duties. Now I know you young’uns will have no idea what I am talking about, but a select few of you may understand when I say she reminded me of Red Skelton’s “Gertrude the Seagull.” It’s given us a lifetime of laughs. What I’ve always loved about acting, really, is that you get to do or say or be anything, and instead of sidelong glances and the shaking of heads, or perhaps a warrant for your arrest, you get applause. How cool is that? So during those tender years of my youth, I See Carr / Page A13

thought the thespian life was the life for me. My stepfather talked me out of it, though, saying there was no future to be had with it. No jobs, no money. But to this day, I sometimes give a passing thought to what that path would have been like. You know, the road not taken. I read that some famous actress of yesteryear — her name escapes me at the moment — had not had a minute of acting classes or acting experience, but became an overnight sensation when she was “discovered” as she was sitting on a stool at a soda fountain. I need to find a stool and a soda fountain. Or maybe tonight I could sneak up onto that stage for just one song. Just one. Some dreams just don’t want to let go.

Precious
Sebastian
Precious, an 11-year-old grey tabbly, is a sweet, pretty and affectionate girl. Her owner could no longer care for her and she is confused as to why she is in a shelter. She purs loudly and loves to be petted and given attention. She would do best in a quiet home. Precious has a heart murmur but it does not require any medication. Sebastian, 4 years old, is mellow, laid-back, and affectionate guy that loves to be pet and loves attention. He absolutely love children when they give are calm. He is FIV+ (which is impossible for humans to catch and is very difficult for other cats to catch). He can live just as long as any healthy cat with yearly vet appointments. Sebastian is waiting for his forever home where he can get all of the love and attention he craves.

day life has resulted in a variety of collateral impacts that were unforeseen prior to the industrial and technological revolutions.” According to June-Wells, increased pollutant impact on the lake, exacerbated nutrient loading which leads to increased algae and weed growth, and the surge of non-native species were the driving factors in the decline of the lake’s health over several decades. But following the completion of a series of initiatives in 2015, including small scale dredging of the lake bottom during the reconstruction of the lake’s dam, the advisory committee began developing an integrated lake management plan. Committee members say the management plan will incorporate comprehensive data collected by AER and the engineering firm of Milone and McBroom, and provide guidance in water quality management, aquatic plant
management, community education/outreach, and infrastructure improvements. One such improvement is the replacement of a culvert beneath Lake Shore Drive which would include installation of a storm drainage structure to catch sediment during periods of run-off. In January, the town applied for a Small Town Economic Assistance Program grant to help cover the cost of the project. If the funding is approved, Bailey has said construction will be done next summer. “The culvert and the related storm water drainage issues have been focus of discussion by the Environment Committee and as a result the town had undertaken engineering design work. When the STEAP Grants were announced by the State, I was in a matter of weeks able to submit a detailed application requesting $500,000 in funding” Bailey said. Anyone interested in getting involved with issues facing Lake Beseck is invited to visit www.lakebeseckliving.com for volunteer opportunities.

To the editor: Thanks to all who participated in the Presidential primary on Tuesday, April 26. Durham had 184 new voters, 195 changes and 116 removals just in 2016. We have an all time record high number of registered voters. We should be proud of all those who registered and turned out and voted. In addition to thanking the voters who came out, we would like to thank all those who help behind the scenes. Thanks to our citizens employed as poll workers. Poll workers constantly improve our processes for better elections and referenda. It is an obvious truth that is often forgotten, but we could not hold our elections without our poll workers. Thanks for a job well done. We will see you at the RSD 13 school budget referendum on May 3. Pam Lucashu Karen Cheyney Durham Registrars of Voters

are optimistic about the industry and excited to take on the challenge of changing business models. “Instead of lying down in defeat, they’re fighting harder to keep journalism alive and relevant — for the generation that comes after them,” Nu Yang and Andreana Young wrote in the April edition of the trade magazine. White said the award comes at a fitting time since the Record-Journal’s website Myrecordjournal.com turns 10 years
old in December. The company’s strategy includes more than just a passive web presence, though. This year’s initiative is called Opportunity 2016, and while White said there has been major growth in getting news to more people in more ways, there are still avenues that haven’t been fully explored. “We’ve only scratched the surface with video,” she said.

munication, newspaper executives worried that the new medium would mean their demise. White said that thinking has changed and media leaders now realize that the Internet can help them reach more users and offer services to more businesses than before. For Myrecordjournal.com, that means videos, graphics, photo galleries and, in some cases, news that wasn’t available before the website. “(Online) is the solution for the newspaper industry,” she said. “We offer a lot more content than we did 10 years ago.” There are also more people reading the website. The previous company initiative, Revolution 2015, boosted page views by 40 percent at the Record-Journal and its sister paper, The Westerly Sun. Part of the recent initiative seeks to instill a culture of continuous change. “Not only do we have to change once, we’re always going to have to change,” White said. “Our culture has to be that we’re always willing to change with the next thing.” The company has to try new things, knowing that some will succeed others will fail. Succeed or fail fast, White said, and build on success or move past failures to other attempts. In the Editor & Publisher article, writers noted the leaps made in online readership as well as the Record-Journal heritage. White represents the fifth generation leading the family-owned newspaper. Her father, Eliot White, is president and publisher. The Record-Journal has 149 years of serving the area and that pedigree is invaluable, particularly during industry changes. White said the locally owned company is also more nimble than larger media corporations. “We couldn’t be better positioned than we are to capture this opportunity,” she said. “It’s easier for smaller community papers to adapt to the change.” The Record-Journal also has a history in the community, which White intends to extend. “I’ve been here; I’m going to continue to be here for a long time,” she said.
