Farmers market heads to season’s end By Mark Dionne Town Times

The organizers of the Durham Farmers Market are preparing to bring the season to a close with the final market day scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 8. It was the first season running things for Market Master Meghann Eckenhoff Nuzzo and Entertainment Coordinator Chad Reddick, and both told the Town Times they are ready to come back next season. “It’s still been a great turnout even with these hot days,” said Eckenhoff Nuzzo, referring to August’s heat wave. “The

heat has been a problem. It’s just been so hot. We’ve kept a steady stream but no real crowded days.”

the shady spots. On this year’s first market day, May 5, it was cold enough for shoppers to wear coats and gloves.

The 2016 farmers market takes place on a Town Green undergoing a renovation, with sick and dying trees being replaced by healthy, but smaller, ones. “The new trees are very pretty ... but the lack of shade has been an issue,” said Eckenhoff Nuzzo.

The market got help from a new position coordinated through Coginchaug Regional High School’s summer job program, with CRHS student Willow Small working as a vendor assistant. “Having that assistant has been really helpful to the vendors and to me,” said Eckenhoff Nuzzo.

All the vendors, selling items like baked goods, produce, Italian ice, and meals like falafel or pizza, all operate under tents or out of trucks while visitors tend to congregate in

Local libraries go for Pokemon By Mark Dionne Town Times

The Durham Co-operative Nursery and the Middlefield Children’s Center, two local co-operative preschools with years of history, have changed to keep up with the needs of working parents and to remain viable. The Durham Co-op is seeking more enrollment and has given up its space at the Durham Fair due to a lack of parents interested in staffing the long-running chicken booth. “This is going to be the first year in 40 years that we haven’t been at the Durham Fair,” said Pam Quinley, director of the Durham Co-op, which is entering its 59th year. Like other local schools, the Durham Co-op has seen its enrollment drop. In studying declining enrollment,

“The Pokemon Go thing, everyone was talking about it,” said Levi E. Coe Children’s Librarian Vicki Berry.

Berry does not play the game herself and said, generally, it is hard to measure the game’s presence at the library since players look just like people walking around looking at their phones. Still, sometimes it was undeniable. “Apparently one day there was even one [character] on my keyboard, which had to be captured.”

Alex Klaus, Children’s Librarian at the Durham Public Library, said of the game, “It opened up and suddenly there are kids walking all over the library staring at their phones.” The libraries are holding events that might appeal to fans of different ages. On Saturday, Aug. 27 at 2 p.m., Klaus will host a Pokemon Go hunt at the Durham Public Library featuring a tour around the library and the town green, which are both hot spots for Pokemon and game supplies like Poke Balls. The group will then stop for a snack on the green near a lure, which

“It’s going to be busy and easy,” said Klaus, who is also a player. “I am really, really bad. I go through Poke Balls like nobody’s business.” Afterwards the group will return to the library for a king of the gym competition. No registration is required, but younger children must be accompanied by an adult. A Pokemon game at the Levi E. Coe Library might appeal to younger players than Durham’s event. Librarians have hidden pictures – actual, physical pictures – of Pokemon within and around the children’s room. There are 10 characters, like Oddish and Goldeen, hidden. “Of course there’s a Pikachu, because that’s the one everyone knows,” Berry said. Berry said that there are

younger children, intrigued by the game but lacking smart phones and the freedom of real-world movement, who enjoy the Pokemon Go hunt within the library. “This is an age-appropriate equivalent.” The hunt is available anytime the library is open and children who find all 10 get a Pokemon sticker. The librarians change up the hiding places periodically so children can play again. The Levi E. Coe Library also has a display outside the children’s room of Pokemon characters, cards, and books. The items came from library workers and their families. The Levi E. Coe Library used to have a large Pokemon club, according to Berry, and the staff is considering reviving it.

Helicopter crew checks power lines By Lauren Sievert Record-Journal staff

MERIDEN — A helicopter will be flying over power lines in the area over the next few weeks, taking high resolution images that will be used to create a database for future line work. A helicopter crew from Pennsylvania-based Haverfield Aviation, inspects transmission lines near Meriden Markham Airport on Tuesday. The crew will be flying over the central and northeastern part of the state over the next few weeks, a spokesman for Eversource Energy said. | Dave Zajac, Record-Journal

Frank Poirot, a spokesman for Eversource Energy, said a helicopter crew from Haverfield Aviation will be flying over transmission lines in the central and northeastern

part of the state over the next few weeks. Haverfield Aviation, based in Pennsylvania, works with utility companies across the country.

Tuesday’s flight was to take photos of lines in the Middletown area. James Lee, a foreman and inspector with Haverfield Aviation, said he will use gyrostablized binoculars and a camera to take high resolution images of the transmission lines and structures to identify any problems or damage.

The helicopter will be flying near lines in Meriden, Wallingford, Southington, Berlin and Middlefield. During a demonstration Tuesday morning, Aug. 23 the helicopter flew over transmission lines near Meriden Markham Airport. The helicopter flew low and close to the structures supporting the lines while a crew member took photos. The goal for

Obituaries Edward Coe time were always evident in his ability and love of helping family and friends with their “mechanical dilemmas and issues”. His love for agriculture was learned from both his mother and father. As a young boy he was active in the 4-H Fair and in later years volunteered and supported The Durham Agricultural Fair. Butch was an active Honorary Member of the Fair, as well as Assistant Superintendent of the Farm Museum. Throughout the years he also served as a volunteer in the Durham Fire Department and contributed his time to numerous organizations that helped support the Town of Durham which he loved so much. Butch retired from Bailey Express and was a proud member of Teamsters Local 671. He was a Vietnam veteran and volunteered his time as a member of

the VFW Post 8294 in Northford, Conn. He was also an active member of the Wallingford Elks Lodge 1365. Butch leaves behind his best friend and wife of 25 years, Diane Coe; his brother and sister-in-law, Henry Coe and Loraine Arrigoni Coe; his son and daughter-in-law, Jason Coe and Kathy Alteri Coe; his daughter and son-inlaw, Sharri Coe D’Errico and Ralph D’Errico lll; his grandchildren, Marceline D’Errico and Ashley Coe; and he will now be reunited with his late grandson, Ralphie D’Errico IV. Butch was honored to be able to share in the lives of his step-grandchildren, Colby, Derek, and Paige Boudreau, and Emily Callahan. He will also be missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, and friends, who shared so much laughter and joy with

DURHAM — Edward “Butch” Coe 72, of Durham, Conn., began his journey towards the afterlife in the style he could have only dreamed and hoped for: Sitting in his home, talking and laughing with his wife and a beer in front of him. Without any warning the next second he experienced a massive coronary event. Despite the heroic efforts of the Durham Fire Department, the Durham and North Branford EMTs and all the first responders, to whom the family is tremendously grateful, Butch passed away on Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2016. Butch was a lifelong resident of Durham. As a young boy, his greatest pleasure was helping his father on the farm, especially riding alongside him on the tractors. The lessons he learned from this

IT’S ALL GOOD

Vegans need midnight snacks, too By Diana Carr Special to Town Times

So I would tuck this Pan of Pure Goodness into my fridge and tell myself that I would only have one slice a day. Yeah, right! I should have told that cheesecake to not even bother getting comfy there on my top shelf, because it had a life span of only two days.

I try to resist. I really do. But at night some strange force takes over my body and makes me – makes me, I tell you! – rummage through the cupboards and the refrigerator like a raccoon that hasn’t There were a couple of years there when, fearing that I seen a meal in a while. would end up looking like Oh, I’ve read the advice althe Michelin Man, or at best right.

It makes me so unhappy. So now I eat what I want when I want, and wherever it sees fit to settle on me – well, I’ll just live with it. But I’ll not even be hungry and I’ll be standing on a chair peeking into the farthest corners of the cupboards, to see if there’s anything I may have missed. I will be frantically moving things this way and that in the fridge, hoping to find something a little more enticing than kale and squash. Why am I doing this? I wonder. I think it may be out of boredom. Or maybe it’s a matter of conditioning. I grew up believing that going to the movies without the munchies was unthinkable. Well, my Samsung is my movie theater. It’s a relief to have finally eased up on myself and go loose at night, food-wise. I guess I let loose a bit too much, though, because by the third day after grocery shopping, all those goodies are gone. And the rest of the week is looking like nothing but veggies. Healthy, yes, but not all that exciting. And I’ve already mowed through this week’s snacks. So what are you munching on tonight? And what time will you be expecting me?

CT stacks up well in voting Listening to certain sectors of the political chattering class, one may be left with the impression that rampant voter fraud is taking place in our elections. Donald Trump is pushing this conspiracy theory, as well. “We’re going to watch Pennsylvania. Go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people don’t come in and vote five times,” the Republican presidential nominee said at a recent campaign stop. “If you do that, we’re not going to lose. The only way we can lose, in my opinion — I really mean this, Pennsylvania — is if cheating goes on.” The reality is, widespread cheating is not an issue in our elections. Various analyses have found that, while voting fraud does indeed occur, the rate is infinitesimal. This doesn’t mean that American elections don’t have room to improve, however. Stories abound of hours-long waits at polling places, and shoddy voting machines. Also, it’s not unusual for registered voters to be turned away from the polls due to clerical errors. Thankfully, here in Connecticut, problems associated with voting are rare. In fact, a recent Pew Charitable Trusts analysis ranked the state fifth in the nation in its Elections Performance Index. The Associated Press reports the most recent Pew report, which analyzed the administration of the 2014 election cycle, found that Connecticut outperformed the national average in 10 of 15 factors, and also received positive marks for having online registration and post-election audits, two other indicators of the evaluation. The state ranked 10th in 2012, 7th in 2010, and 19th in Pew’s first ever ranking in 2008. “This represents enormous progress and we’ll continue to try to improve in the years ahead,” Secretary of the State Denise W. Merrill said, commenting on Connecticut’s No. 5 ranking. “We will look to best practices to learn from and ways to break new ground in Connecticut. We are determined to make registering and voting as easy as possible for voters in the state.” The right to vote and fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy.It’s reassuring to know that Connecticut election administrators take their job so seriously. — Originally published in the Meriden Record-Journal.

Durham Village, with a playground, and the group also takes local field trips. “We’re a play-based nursery school,” explains Quinley. “Kids learn through play.” Nina Healy of Durham enjoyed the co-operative experience at the Durham Co-op as a parent. Said Healy, “I was still a little leery about the other responsibilities that might come with being a part of a co-op. After sending three children over six years to this gem of a school, I have realized how much I have gained from being a part of this wonderful community.” The Middlefield Children’s Center began offering a nonco-op option for parents a

few years ago, according to Middlefield Children’s Center Director Jill Champagne. Even co-op families at the center are not asked to help in the classroom, but sign up for other jobs. The school’s website discusses balancing co-op and non-co-op families, “Whether families are involved in the day to day working of the business and the building or are only able to help a few times a year, we acknowledge and understand the importance of the home and school connection for a child’s success. In collaborating with families, our goal is not just kindergarten readiness, our goal is to help children develop a passion for learning and to become life-long learners.” According to Champagne, for a few years the center has offered schedule options to meet parent needs, explaining, “Parents have the option for all our ages to go between two to five days and we have

half and full day for both 3and 4-year-olds.” Champagne said that the teachers follow a “play-based curriculum,” and that the center has a long term goal to gain NAEYC accreditation. The Middlefield Children’s Center operates out of three classrooms and an art room in its building on Main Street in Middlefield, which also has a playground and an area for gardening. According to Champagne, declining enrollment has not impacted the center yet. “We haven’t noticed that; knock on wood,” Champagne said. The center will enroll for the coming school year as long as it has open spaces. Although the co-op traits are no longer defining elements of the preschools, both directors speak highly of the experience. “The co-operative option gets the parents involved and you become a community,” Champagne said.

Run for the Fallen

Durham seeking regional mental health board representative

The seventh annual Run for the Fallen CT is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 17, at Veterans Memorial Park, Middletown.

The Town of Durham is seeking a citizen to volunteer to serve as the town’s representative in Catchment Area Council No. 10 who has the experience to carry out the responsibilities and activities outlined below.

The event will also include the dedication of the Connecticut Trees of Honor Memorial at 2:30 p.m. The memorial is a permanent, living memorial, designed to remember those whole lives were lost defending freedom. Registration for the event is open at www.runforthefallenct.org. Deadline to register is Wednesday, Sept. 14, but walk-ins will be accepted the morning of Sept. 17.

There are five mental health regions in Connecticut. Each region is made up of catchment areas. Each catchment area has a citizen advisory council, and each region has a citizen advisory board. The advisory councils and boards were established to ensure that citizens from every town in Connecticut will be actively involved in determining and monitoring the kind of mental health services that will be pro-

vided or contracted in each catchment area through the CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

time Eversource Energy has done a study like this in the state. The study started about six months ago in southwestern Connecticut, he said.

J.C. Zwick, an Eversource transmission line supervisor, said the images have already identified potential problems that may not have been noticed otherwise. Poirot noted the importance of being proactive.

“Doing proactive maintenance keeps things from impacting reliability,” he said. In the summer, electrical usage is typically higher and the lines are “hotter,” Lee said, which allows the helicopter crew to see emerging trouble spots. Poirot said before crews fly the helicopter in any area police dispatchers are notified so residents can be informed if they call. In addition to this study, Poirot said, there are vegetation surveys and infra-red flights. The helicopter crew won’t be performing any maintenance. Ground crews will use images from the study as a reference for future repairs.

MERIDEN — State and municipal police officials told U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal they need help addressing a recent reduction in applicants. They also expressed a desire to increase training, engage the community, and have more centralized reporting methods, but said they need funding to achieve many of those goals. Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, in a meeting with police officials at the state police training academy, said he’ll include the remarks in a report he’s preparing for the Senate’s Judiciary Committee, of which he’s a member.

According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, firearm-related on-duty deaths of police officers are up 68 percent from this time last year.

Why is August one of the best times to replace your windows?

It’s like getting FREE WINDOWS for 1 year

Because more energy-efficient windows can help you get relief from your uncomfortably hot home. Our exclusive High-Performance Low E-4® SmartSun™ glass is up to 70% more energy efficient†. It’s engineered to make your home cooler this summer.

Call before August 31st!

2X STRONGER THAN VINYL

NO NO NO

MONEY DOWN PAYMENTS INTEREST

FOR 1 YEAR Why have our customers chosen us over another window company? 1. Fibrex® Material Our Fibrex material was researched by Andersen for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Our Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl.

2. Unique Look Our window has the elegant look and strength of a wood window, but our Fibrex material doesn’t demand the same maintenance of wood.*

3. Accountability There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We sell, build, install and warrant both our windows and installation.
