Ad hoc committee on Tractors on parade Powder Ridge picks operator By Sue VanDerzee Town Times At a meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 18, the ad hoc committee on Powder Ridge unanimously selected the partnership of CDF and Associates LLC of Windham, NY and Snow Time Inc. of York, PA to operate Powder Ridge. The decision was made pending a “successful financial review,” according to committee chair Dave Lowry. Lowry noted that the CDFSnow Time compliance with the parameters set up in the town’s Request For Qualifications (RFQ) and their “complete responses” to the committee’s questions and concerns led to their selection. (The complete RFQ, which contains fascinating information about the ski

area as it stands now, is available on the Midstate Regional Planning Agency website at wwwmidstaterpa.org. The committee made the selection in open session following a two-hour executive session spent discussing the two applicants. The second applicant was Alpine Associates, an international ski consulting firm whose principals were familiar with Powder Ridge because of having skied there in the past. The process next becomes one of negotiation between the ad hoc committee and the selected applicant. That negotiation will determine whether the deal is ultimately a lease or sale, what exactly will happen on the 115+/acres, and what the timing will be. Any sale would have See Powder Ridge, page 27

Agricultural Commission holds first meeting By Stephanie Wilcox Town Times

Incoming John Lyman School kindergartners got to take their practice bus ride on Wednesday, Aug. 19. School begins for District 13 students next Thursday, Aug. 27. See pages 17-23 for our pull-out bus schedules and a D13 calendar. More photos by Stephanie Wilcox on page 27. Brewster School bus ride photos next week.

The newly formed Durham Agricultural Commission has officially launched after meeting together for the first time on Aug. 17. In attendance were Warren Herzig, Melissa Greenbacker, Dick Porter, Vivian Caturano, Fred Mastele and Joe Pasquale. Roger Passavant and Geraldine Lombard were not in attendance, and there were only two members of the public, Sue White and Casey Cordes. First Selectman Laura Francis spearheaded the meeting to get the commission organized, and explained the meeting format and how things will go from here. At the top of the meeting agenda was the election of officers, which was a slow

process as no one was eager to volunteer themselves. In the end, Warren Herzig was elected chairman, Vivian Caturano was elected vice chairman and recording secretary will be arranged on an alternating basis. Francis suggested that the commission not worry about a treasurer at this time because, “As you know, you have no budget yet.” Green-

backer, echoed by the others, was quick to respond: “I like that you said ‘yet.’” After setting their meeting dates on the first Tuesday of each month in the third floor meeting room of the town hall, the group got down to business with a general discussion.

Every Monday afternoon, Lyman’s Apple Barrel Eatery welcomes seniors for an early bird dinner followed by a game of Apples to Apples. “Whoever wants to come is welcome,” said Apple Barrel employee Wayne Ruocco. “It’s a blast.” Though as many as 25 people have filled the eatery for dinner and games, last Monday, August 17, had just a small group — probably because of August vacations. Last Monday’s dinner was a delicious stuffed cabbage or a seafood boat with vegetables and a beverage, and an out-of-this-world peach shortcake dessert.

Luther Ridge in Middletown is inviting the public to come enjoy their first-ever art gallery. The first exhibit, which opened July 18 and closes Labor Day weekend, features two artists, a resident of Luther Ridge and a staff member. “The point of opening a gallery was to connect with the community,” said Amy Raccagni, housing manager. “But the main reason was for the residents’ enjoyment.” According to marketing manager Heather Bale, Luther Ridge is a subsidized independent, congregate and assisted living facility, unlike any other facility in Connecticut. She noted that there are 140 residents at Luther Ridge, all with interesting life histories and talents that should be shared with each other. For instance, one resident, Greta Stromberg, is a highly educated and trained artist who has exhibited all over but has always said she wanted her art displayed at her home at Luther Ridge. It was also discovered that part-time staff member Matt Schwager is a talented artist himself, and so the first exhib-

Guernseys, as well as Shorthorn, Devon and Jersey, before switching to all Guernsey. He also raised prime hogs and chickens. As with all farms of that period, there was always a very large kitchen garden. Lena was well known for her baking and cooking skills, having learned as a young girl on the Nettleton Farm to cook well and in large quantities as she helped to feed the farm hands. Field crops included corn, alfalfa, oats and turnips. In 1917, Robert sold the farmhouse, outbuildings and 17 acres of property to Frederick Brewster and moved around the corner to the David Robinson House (ca 1735) on the west side of Maple Avenue, where he continued to farm the same property. The 125-acre farm ran north

(Editor’s note: White’s Farm has lately been in the news due to excessive flooding and allegations of lack of upkeep. The Conservation Commission is considering alternatives, and a Friends of White’s Farm committee has sprung up to weigh in on those alternatives and/or suggest their own.) Today in Durham we are blessed to have at our disposal several open space properties donated to or purchased by the town with local, state and federal funds. Many Durham residents have contributed their time, energy and unique vision in order to preserve precious farm, forest and meadow lands for us and for future generations. Today, the Durham Conservation Commission, which is charged with managing these lands, continues to identify properties which might be saved from “paving paradise to put up a parking lot.” No Durham resident living or deceased has had more of an impact on land preservation than the White family. White’s Farm, the first open space property purchased by Durham in 1965, is the most widely used open space property in town. Dog owners, bird watchers, nature hikers and various clubs enjoy this land,

which was once a thriving farm owned by Robert White. Born in 1873 in Norfolk, Connecticut, Robert was a direct descendent of Peregrine White, the first baby born on the Mayflower. While living on his family’s farm at Nut Plains Road in Guilford, Robert White walked 10-plus miles every week to court his future wife, Lena Sage, who resided at the Nettleton Farm on Crooked Hill Road in Durham with her grandparents. After marrying in 1902, Robert and Lena moved to a farm Lena owned on Route 68, now part of the Brookfield Farm, aka Greenbackers. Their six children, Lawrence, Elizabeth (Clark), Grace (Kelsey), Ruth, Robert and Frederick were all born there. From its early years the farm was self-sustaining. Robert raised registered

to south from Route 68 to the Durham Fairgrounds, and west to east from the Coginchaug River to Maple Avenue. According to a history of the property written by local resident Mabel Hamma, “Early in the century, the heavy work was done with two teams of horses. Later a second-hand tractor from Brookfield Farm helped make the heavy farm work somewhat easier and faster.” During his lifetime, Robert was quietly active in community affairs. He served in the Home Guard during World War I, helped organize the Durham Fair, was Durham Fair superintendent of rentals for 15 years, served as first selectman, chaired the school board and served two terms in the state House of Representatives. In 1953, Robert’s son Frederick (Ted) White and his wife Edith (Leining) continued the farming operation full time

and eventually had two daughters, Susan and Caroline (Martin), who have been involved with the farm operation since they were toddlers. The daughters recalled that when they were young the operation included 40-plus head of Guernsey milking cows, 90 chickens for eggs, and pigs for butchering. Once the cows were done producing milk and the chickens no longer produced eggs, they became the family dinner. Caroline explained that the farm was self-sufficient. Milk was sold to area milk processors and in turn, the farm sold their ice cream, cottage cheese and butter out of the house, as well as some of their own raw milk. In addition the family cultivated turnips and potatoes, field corn for cows, and eventually sweet corn for sale at the farm stand. Sue recalls that her father earned the nickname “Spud” because he drove a farm wagon to Middletown to sell potatoes to the kitchen at Connecticut Valley Hospital. One of Sue’s earliest childhood memories is of steering the tractor while her father

Twenty or so local White and Leining cousins helped to bring in the 1,500 to 2,000 bales per season. “If a major storm was coming, we had to get the field corn picked and chopped before it came. The cousins and other friends in town worked around the clock to get the corn safely into the silos before the storm hit.” In the early 1960s as people became more health conscious and wanted lower fat milk products, farmers who wished to continue in the milk business had to switch to Holsteins. Father Ted decided that it would be too expensive to renovate the farm to accommodate the new breed. And with two young daughters 10 years apart in age, he was unsure that the family farm could be sustained for much longer. In 1965, all but four acres of the farm were sold to the town, using local, state and federal funds. Spearheading the project was then First Selectman, Charlie Wimler, who had the foresight to know that this precious piece of local history must be preserved for the enjoyment of all residents. Recalled Sue, “In the dedication ceremony brochure for the occasion in 1965, it stated that the property would be used for rentals, farmland and recreation, and was to be kept in good order.” Like his father before him, Ted White was quietly involved in local service, serving as fire chief, Durham Fair president and selectman. Edith became the town’s first volunteer emergency dispatcher for the fire department. In the fire company’s early years, this job automatically fell to the fire chief’s wife and the emergency phone was installed in their home. The dispatcher received emergency calls and set the wheels in motion via a phone chain for firemen. Today, the farm is owned by daughter Sue, who raises border collies, sheep and turkeys, as well as sweet corn, which is sold at the family’s roadside stand on Maple Avenue. Today, none of the farm animals are in danger of serving as enSee White’s Farm, next page

Hiker rescued after fall from Mt. Higby on August 19

A hiker was brought to safety after falling off Mt. Higby on the Middlefield and Meriden town line on Wednesday morning. Police received a call from the man around 6:30 a.m. He had fallen about 10 to 15 feet while taking pictures of the sunrise, officials said. He complained of neck and back pain but was alert and conscious. It took approximately 15 firefighters from both Meriden and Middlefield to locate the man and bring him down to a Gator and then to an ambulance, Middlefield volunteer firefighter Bill Fowler said. The extent of his injuries is unknown. He was transported to Hartford Hospital by ambulance at 8 a.m. By Stephanie Wilcox

See you at the bus stop

Having a school bus Claudia stop near your house, and driving your kids to school is sort of like having a contract with a trash removal company, and taking your garbage to the dump instead of to the curb. Now I’m 100 percent guilty here as I have been known to drive my kids to school, especially on cold winter days when extra shut-eye generally pulls rank, driving me to add my carbon emissions to the daily tally. Justification is a bitter pill, but I often combine the commute with preschool drop-offs or early trips to the gym (both excuses are true most of the time…). It’s fair to look at the pros and cons before opting out of a pre-paid convenience such as the scheduled school bus pick-up and drop-off. For one thing, I personally consider how much time my children spend commuting to and from school between Durham and Middlefield. For my kids, bus time can easily be 40 minutes each way for a direct route of roughly five miles. The good news is that my kids won’t bat an eye someday when faced with a commute to Hartford as they’ll have been doing it since kindergarten. Eighty minutes on the bus leaves plenty of opportunity for all manner of unmonitored behavior. Add to that the demands of homework, instrument practice, sports and good old-fashioned dinner at home with the family, and 40 minutes can seem like as a colossal waste of time. For those who choose to live in Regional School District 13, with far reaching population sprawl and no neighborhood schools combined with a perpetually pinched budget, perhaps we need to rethink time on the bus. If we aren’t lucky enough to live near a school, making cycling or walking viable options, perhaps we should expect our kids to practice math facts or read on the bus – chipping away at the homework awaiting our young ones when they finally reach home. While only about 25 percent of kids

in the U.S. ride the school bus, it remains a much safer way to arrive at school than the private automobile, resulting in approximately 20 deaths a year compared to 600 deaths from school commutes via private automobiles. Walking or biking are by far the greenest options, and much safer than today’s safety zealots would have us believe. In 1969, 48 percent of students biked or walked to school. These days, less than 15 percent of kids under 15 walk to school and only one percent ride their bikes. Increasing neighborhood sprawl makes 1969 statistics hard to match, but the biggest contributor to our reduction in green commuting practices is widespread fear that something will happen to our children. While visions of abductions and molestations dance in our heads, parents forgot how to raise children so their kids can actually participate in the world. For District 13, pupil transportation is just a hair under two million dollars for budget year 2009-2010. Yes, the routes are long and the kids have stuff to do. On the other hand, most of us know first-hand that school driveways and parking lots are not designed for parental bumper-to-bumper. And looking past the traffic jams in the school yard, parents can appear oblivious to the throngs of cars lining up behind them. I can tell you, the school parking lot is not the place to check for ticks on your child’s head before sending them to their classroom. (Well, that’s what it looks like some moms are doing.) A long line of cars makes kids stressed out and tardy, both bad starts to a day that should be all about learning. By the way, national Walk to School Day takes place on Oct. 7 and will be here before you know it. Please check out www.walktoschool-usa.org and learn more about safe walking and bicycling throughout the school year. And if that’s not an option because of where you live, get to love your bus!

Web update To honor the last full week before kids go back to school, we asked residents “Which park in our towns have you visited the most this summer?” Among our 26 respondents, the overwhelming favorite visit was to Peckham Park in Middlefield with 35 percent. Next was Wadsworth Falls, also in Middlefield, with 19 percent, followed by Lake Beseck, again in Middlefield, with 15 percent. In the middle of the pack were Allyn Brook Park, Miller’s Pond and White’s Farm, all in Durham, with eight percent each of respondents visiting these most often. In the back of the pack, so to speak, were Middlefield Dog Park, which was an admittedly late addition to the list, and “other,” both with four percent, though one visitor to the Middlefield Dog Park goes once a week. Happy end of August, and don’t forget to go to www.towntimes.com to answer our next poll question.

About two months later, Maria says that Michael Mann is going to hire you without auditioning you. It was fantastic. Michael Mann used the original penitentiary where Dillinger made his escape with Youngblood. Tell us what it was like to shoot in Crown Point, Indiana. We shot from the first floor in the jail at Crown Point. I think whenever there is an element of realism, the clothes a person wore, an item in the actual possession of the character that you’re playing, it becomes easier to osmose. The clothes, the atmosphere of the building, a chair, a cell or a bar of soap. It helps you to really sense and feel what the actual prisoners may have experienced.

It turns out that the young boy’s father was a deputy sheriff. The kid runs to his dad at home and tells him there’s a guy that looks like the guy on the wanted poster. His dad runs to the store. Herbert has a gun on him, and he shoots him. A couple of other officers had responded and they shoot Herbert dead. Were you pleased with the final cut of the film?

You and John Michael Bolger were absolutely charming at the premiere of Public Enemies. When I later interviewed John, he said you were like brothers. Seeing that you did not know each other before Public Enemies, how did you two become such fast friends when you shot no scenes together? I got to Chicago, which was where we were based. I walked into the hotel lobby (laughs), and there was this guy dropping one-liners and doing this whole comedy routine. And he asked me actually, I was staring at him, he said, “Are you Michael Bentt?” And I said, “Yeah, I am.” And he’s a big fight fan, and he knew me from my

But when you think about it, why shouldn’t they be? They’re human beings, and my time with Johnny Depp and Will Smith was golden. I met Marion Cotillard, and she was wonderful, wonderful. She’s the only person I’ve met that I can honestly say I was in awe of. I watched La Vie en Rose a week or two before I went to Chicago and (whistles). Oh, my God. That’s the level that I aspire to.

“I firmly believe agriculture is a vehicle to increase economic development, and I think society is ready for that,” she said. “The state is incredibly supportive of it and the more I learn, the more I’m impressed with the state’s protection of agriculture.” On a similar note, Francis cautioned the board to pay attention to legislation because not doing so can have a tremendous impact. Mastele informed the commission that some municipalities are trying to zone out agriculture. “There are changes going on in the state in terms of regulations that we need to be aware of,” he said.

Francis said she feels the commission’s meetings are going to generate a lot of interest from the public, and asked what thoughts have run through their own heads in the last month since the approval of the commission’s ordinance. The first thing brought to the table was the need to identify the town’s agricultural land, including mapping, inventory, networking and defining what a farm is and how the definition varies from town to town. This brought up a discussion on overlapping definitions with the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) in terms of what’s allowed, but the group agreed it is necessary to get their own definition to protect agriculture. “We also need to determine where P&Z stands on agriculture-friendliness because we can’t wind up fighting another board in town,” said Porter. Francis recommended starting with a regulation review assisted by Ben Bowell from American Farmland Trust on

whether Durham is agriculture-friendly, and then if the commission feels some areas in the review are onerous they can approach P&Z. She said there are several consulting hours with Ben Bowell left over that would be better used by the commission for items such as this. Francis offered the young commission some advice, such as working closely with the farmers’ market committee to support their efforts and the Conservation Commission to understand conservation rules, such as open space property, because not all open space can be treated the same. In addition, she recommended the commission work with the Economic Development Commission.

Little League World Series

Play Ball! photos courtesy of the Little League International, Williamsport, Pa.

Do you play baseball or softball? If you do, you may play Little League. The Little League Baseball World Series is one of the biggest sporting events in the world. This year, it is scheduled from Aug. 21 to 30. This week, The Mini Page looks at this exciting event that’s fun for all ages.

The first league In 1939, a man named Carl Stotz organized a baseball league in his hometown of Carl Stotz Williamsport, Pa. He wanted local boys to have something worthwhile to do during the summer. Three teams played each other. The first Little League Baseball World Series was held in 1947 for teams from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Because the first league began in Williamsport, that’s where officials decided to play the games. This year’s World Series will be the 63rd annual (ANN-yoo-all), which means something that happens every year.

A runner is tagged out at home in the Little League Baseball World Series. More than 2.6 million boys and girls now play in Little League in more than 80 countries and all 50 states.

The sport grows

Be a good sport

Little League soon spread across the country and around the world. Different divisions, or groups, were formed based on players’ ages. Today there are 21 different divisions for baseball and softball, from Tee Ball for 5- and 6-year-olds to Big League for 16- to 18-year-olds. The Little League World Series in Williamsport is for 11- and 12-yearolds. Seven other divisions also have a World Series event. They are played in different places in the United States, and many of the games are shown on TV.

Stephen Keener, the president and chief executive officer of Little League Baseball and Softball, says: “Children who participate in Little League have the opportunity to learn and appreciate good sportsmanship*, teamwork, respect for authority and other life lessons than can help them develop into good citizens as adults.” These have been the values and goals of Little League since the beginning. * Sportsmanship is about how you play the game. Respecting your opponent, playing fair and being nice whether you win or lose are all a part of good sportsmanship.

Opera Theater of Connecticut - religion and melodrama at the shore By Larry Kellum Special to the Town Times

ordination between the singers and the pit. As for those singers, tenor Victor Khodadad was a loud, nasal Turiddu and Korby Myrick was a much too young and glamorous looking Mama Lucia (though her pithy contralto thundered magnificently as Angelica’s aunt in the former opera). However, any “Cavalleria” stands or falls on the strength of its heroine Santuzza, and

here, the second Stephanie of the evening (Conte) came through with flying colors. Three decades ago, Ms. Conte was a Musetta and a Juliet with the Connecticut Opera and elsewhere. She has since evolved into a big-voiced spinto with plenty of volume and tonal warmth for this distraught character. Her top is effortless, but since Santuzza is best sung by high mezzos, a bit more visceral punch in

her lower register would have been welcome. Though this opera is already violent enough, it was an interesting directorial touch to have the adulteress Lola (the excellent Allegra De Vita) also killed by her husband at the shocking conclusion. To get acquainted with the Opera Theater of Connecticut and its future endeavors, call (860) 669-8999 or visit www.OperaTheater-CT.org.

From Aug. 11 to 16, the Connecticut Shoreline sizzled in Clinton when the Opera Theater of Connecticut presented an unusual pairing of two one-act operas from the verismo (i.e. realism) repertory — Puccini’s “Suor Angelica,” with its all-female cast, and the Mascagni potboiler “Cavalleria Rusticana.” Though the composers were contemporaries, their operas are more often paired with other works where several singers can double up in lead roles. This company, now in its 24th season, has traditionally presented one opera every summer at the Andrews Memorial Theater in downtown Clinton, and has always done so from scratch — that is, with great care and attention to detail. Two sopranos named Stephanie starred in each vehicle, and for the most part, the evening proved to be highly successful. “Angelica” is undeniably the saddest opera ever written, even for one who isn’t a mother or a devout Catholic.

It has been said that even Puccini wept when he wrote it. Many of the greatest divas in operatic history have recorded it, but refused it on stage for fear of completely “losing it” emotionally (as Beverly Sills reportedly did in her one attempt at it early in her career). It’s a short part, but an intense tour de force loaded with high B’s and C’s and soaring phrases. Here, Stephanie Gregory triumphed in the role. Hers is not an Italianate sound, but her full lyric soprano encompassed the high tessitura, and her sympathetic portrayal was heartbreaking without being maudlin. In fact, everything about this performance clicked — the chorus of nuns, the tempi from the orchestra, the tasteful sets — all were right on the money. Unfortunately, this wasn’t always the case with the far more popular “Cavalleria” that followed. There were pomegranate bumps along the way that ultimately could have been ironed out with more rehearsal time. Conductor Kyle Swann raced so fast a couple of times that he lost co-

Greater Middletown Chorale holding fall auditions

Gallery

The Greater Middletown Chorale will be holding auditions for new soprano, alto, tenor and bass singers on Sept. 1, 8 and 15 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at its office, located on the second floor of Holy Trinity Church, 381 Main St. in Middletown. GMC rehearsals are held immediately after auditions,

the residents, which included a party and a ribbon-cutting. “The residents loved it, and the most thrilling part for me is to see the residents with their families enjoying the art,” said Bale. The next exhibit, featuring artwork from three members of the Middletown Art Guild, will open on Sept. 16 and continue through the year. In keeping with the goal that it’s all about the residents, there will be one section designated as the resident artists’ permanent display. “We have extraordinary talent in here, but there is also wonderful talent in the community as well,” said Bale. “I don’t think everyone knows what we’ve got here.” Luther Ridge Art Gallery is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, call (860) 347-7144 or visit www.lutherridge.org.

from 7 to 10 p.m. for anyone who would like to stay. This exciting season will begin the GMC’s 33rd year of performing choral masterworks for the communities of central Connecticut. Two concerts will be performed in November featuring the music of living American com-

posers, and in May 2010 the Chorale will be performing a fully orchestrated production of Mendelssohn’s masterpiece oratorio, “Elijah” with the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Chorus and the First Congregational Church Senior Choir of Cheshire. If you are interested in join-

Seventh annual Tractor Cruise-In is a blast By Norm Hicks Special to Town Times The seventh annual Tractor Cruise-In, held on Aug. 16 at the Durham Fair grounds, was a huge success. A total of 219 tractors and cars entered this year, down 13 from last year but a number that certainly pleases the Durham Fair Foundation. Perhaps it was due to the rather warm temperatures, though it didn’t stop spectators from at-

tending. There were two new events this year. The Backseat Driver Contest that was popular at the Fair several years ago when Henry Coe was superintendent of Novelty Events was brought back this year. The event features a garden tractor (supplied by our sponsor Midstate Tractor) with a driver who is blindfolded. A person riding on a cart behind the tractor gives directions

through an obstacle course. Both the driver and backseat driver are wired for sound so the entire audience can hear the conversation. “Being the first year, the popularity far exceeded my expectations,” said Norm Hicks. “It was a blast.” Sibling team Irene and Byron Curtis, of Durham, won the event.

area they will be naturally drawn to,” said Francis. “We have a rich culture here, it just needs to be brought together.” As stakeholders would, the commission briefly talked amongst each other about the benefits of agriculture and how it needs to be preserved and valued more by the community at large. Mastele reminded the committee that Durham has the largest agricultural fair in the state, to which Porter added that the fair has more volunteers than any other fair in North America. Commission members commiserated with one another that despite this, the fair gets such a bad rap because of issues such as traffic, while it actually brings so much to the community. During the meeting, Herzig asked Francis if the town ever hears complaints about agriculture. Francis responded that there are some, but mostly having to do with zoning issues and complaints about odor and flies. “You’ll notice neighbor to neighbor issues, but I think that’s a sign of the times,” she said.

The first real business the commission addressed came from Conservation Commission chairman Casey Cordes. He explained to the commission that Maiden Lane resident and farmer Jim Scott has placed a permanent conservation easement on his 42-acre farm through the Connecticut Farmland Preservation Trust. The town has been asked to partner with Scott by paying his expenses for setting up the trust. Cordes said Scott would like the land, which currently supports cattle, to be available for public access — which is a rare request. He also announced that there is $19,000 in the Conservation Commission’s reserve account to take care of the expenses Scott will incur. Though there was no action to be taken, Cordes wanted to inform the commission so they stay involved as he plans to meet with the Board of Finance over the topic. The Agricultural Commission invited him back to their next meeting on Sept. 1.

Durham boards hear about three projects By Chris Coughlin Special to Town Times The Durham Boards of Finance and Selectmen held a joint meeting on Aug. 18. The first project discussed was presented by David Heer of the Emergency Facilities Study Committee. The proposal is to expand the Durham Firehouse and utilize the vacant houses on either side to create an emergency services facility. This facility would house the Volunteer Ambu-

lance Corps, Resident State Trooper, fire department and other emergency services for the town. Heer, who is an architect and a volunteer fireman, presented what the Emergency Facilities Committee had done so far on this proposed project. Heer envisions a fourphase plan to bring the facilities from what they are now to the proposed future emergency facility. The Emergency Facilities Committee says that, based

on a previous committee’s estimate, the total cost of the project could reach between $3 and $3.5 million. That is far from a final cost, since the committee does not have a firm design or bids. To do a proper assessment and initial project proposal, the committee estimates they will need about $95,000. The committee also noted that even if they do perform the initial analysis and estimates and do not folSee Projects, page 28

disaster. Listen to local media broadcasts or NOAA Weather Radio for the latest storm conditions and follow the advice of local authorities. Get trained in CPR and first aid so you will know how to respond to emergencies in the event that help is delayed. If you are told to evacuate, do so immediately. You may choose to evacuate sooner than alerted if you think you may need additional time. Know what to do if a hurricane watch is issued. Listen to weather updates from your batter-powered or hand-cranked radio. Bring in outdoor objects such as lawn furniture, hanging plants, bicycles, toys and garden tools, anchor objects cannot be brought inside. Close all windows and doors. Cover windows with storm shutters or plywood. If time permits, and you live in an identified surge zone, elevate furniture or move it to a higher floor to protect it from flooding. Fill your vehicle’s gas tank. Check your disaster supplies kit to make sure items have not expired. Know what to do if a hurricane warning is issued: Listen to the advice of local official, and leave if they tell you to do so. If in a manufactured home, check tie-downs and evacuate as told by local authorities. Secure your home by unplugging appliances and turning off electricity and the main water valve. If you are not advised to evacuate, stay inside, away from windows, skylights and glass doors. Do not use open flames, such as candles and kerosene lamps, as a source of light. If power is lots, turn off appliances to reduce damage from a power surge when electricity is restored.

low through with the project right away, the thorough analysis they perform will be helpful down the line, if and when the project becomes more feasible. If they are given the goahead from the town, the first phase would be selection of an architect based on a system devised by the committee. The architects who bid for the job would be evaluated on a 1-10 scale, based on factors including past work the architects have done and other criteria. When the architects give their estimates for the project, their price is divided by their score, and from there the architect can be chosen. Also discussed at the meeting was a study done on the Ambulance Corps building at 205 Main Street. Currently, the building is in poor shape, with structural problems and water and other issues. Tom Arcari, a local architect, conducted a survey of the building to assess what could be done to improve the facility so that the town can get the most use out of the building. Arcari notes that it would be in the towns best interest to add an additional ambulance bay to the facility. In addition, the building is facing serious issues with water infiltration and energy efficiency. As of now, water infiltration is becoming such a problem that

Doug Meyer remembers the days as a preteen when he would “monkey around” with his father’s lawn mower, taking it apart just to put it back together. His father, one of the top engineers at United Technologies, always thought he couldn’t do it all himself, but Meyer had a mechanical gift. Over the years, Meyer has gone on to build hot rods and race cars from scratch and has raced motorcycles over the country. Since 2001, he has raced modified lites at Whip City Speedway in Westfield, Massachusetts before switching to the GM Quad-4 powered Midget this year. “I’ve been doing this sort of thing my whole life,” said the Rockfall resident. “I’ve always worked on something mechanical, and I’ve always been big on drag racing.” Now 60 years old, Meyer, a tool maker/mold maker by trade, is seeing it all come together. On July 25, he won the USAC style wingless Midget feature at Whip City Speedway, an accomplishment he is proud of for many reasons. When Meyer arrived at the speedway that day, he admits he didn’t exactly look like the one who’d be taking home the title. For starters, he was the oldest racer in a competition with 12 diehards of all ages from the northeast area. “This is a sport where you’ll find elderly racers or people in the industry that have driven for so many years on their way down and the young guns on their way up,” he said. Secondly, he didn’t exactly arrive in style. Hauling his race car on a 6 foot by 12 foot landscape trailer, Meyer said he looked like the “Little Engine That Could.” “That’s how I feel when I go to races because I’m such a low bucks racer,” he explained. “I have no sponsors or anyone helping me. I don’t race for money, I race for the fun.” The icing on the cake, however, is that this was Meyer’s first win, and he was only rookie driver in the division, though he’s been racing

dwarf cars, now called modified lights, at the speedway for years. Meyer bought his first dwarf car and began racing it nearly 10 years ago. An injury that left him with a 12 percent loss of motion in his shoulder, and feelings of burn out forced Meyer to take a break. During the year off, he realized he wanted to do a different type of racing as a personal challenge. That’s when he decided to start racing Midgets.

Race

driver has to really be on his or her game. Not to mention, racers have no real way to train, but they can develop their skills each time they race. In fact, novice racers have to start in the back in the warm-up, heat (the qualifier to determine the lineup) and feature (the main race) with streamers flying from their car so all others know they’re a beginner. This is done for a minimum of three weeks until fellow drivers give the okay that the racer can join the pack. Meyer did-

(Continued from page 29)

had it ready for test day the last week in April. Meyer credits hard work and determination over the years in helping him win the title. He explains that the driver is the deciding factor in a race because the cars and engines are relatively the same. A wingless Midget is a very small race car with no wing off the back, making it harder to race because the

n’t let this process stop him either. “I thought ‘geeze, I think I can do this,’” he said. Meyer explained that the feature is only 15 laps around the quarter-mile track because the cars don’t have power steering. “It takes so much out of you and you’re busy in the car the whole time — you can’t pace yourself in only 15 laps.” And because Whip City Speedway is a dirt track, cars are only racing at about 80 mph, “but we’re still pitching the car sideways,”

he added. “By the time you get out you’re soaked, your adrenaline level and energy are up and your arms are sore the next day.” All of which he says are worth it in the end. Though winning the feature still brings a smile to his face, Meyer said the only disappointment is that he had no one to immediately celebrate with, simply because it’s something that he does all alone. “I do all the driving, mechanical work and chassistuning on my own,” he said. “But I do it for the love of the

sport more than anything else, that’s why I am so tickled to have won that feature.” When asked if he considers this win the end of his career or the start of more to come, Meyer’s response was that he plans to race as long as he physically can, and has already started thinking about next year. “It’s unfortunate that so late in life I found my niche,” he said. “I’m not going to go anywhere as far as NASCAR, but I would have loved to go to the Chili Bowl; It’s the super bowl of racing.”

TOT snares defeat from the jaws of victory By Bob Dynia Special to the Town Times Time Out Taverne’s men’s 40 and over softball team, one out away from breaking their long losing streak, suffered a heartbreaking 8-3, ten-inning defeat to Higganum on Aug. 17. Playing in 90 plus degree heat, home-standing TOT broke out to a quick 2–zip lead in the first inning. Kevin Rowe and Kris Anderson led off with singles. With one out,

Joe Rizzo singled to load the bases. Bob Dynia followed with a grounder to the first baseman; Rizzo was tagged out, but tangled up with the fielder. Rowe scored easily and Dynia reached first. Anderson, hustling all the way beat the throw home for the second run. Pitcher Wayne Hubbard cruised through the first five innings, allowing only four hits and no runs. The Gray Wonders had opportunities to

break the game open without success. Leadoff singles by Wills Evers and Ken Hall in the second were wiped out by a double play. Anderson cracked a two-out triple in the third, but was stranded. The visitors finally broke through with a run in the sixth to close the gap to 2–1. TOT came right back with a run in the bottom of the frame, but lost a chance to plate more runners. Rowe and Anderson led off with singles. 1125413

Devaux singled in Rowe, putting runners on first and second with none out. They were left on base on a pop-out and two fly outs. After a scoreless seventh, Higganum closed to 3 -2. A George Miller lead off single went for naught on a

double play, setting up an exciting ninth inning. Hubbard induced a ground out, then a fly out to bring TOT within one out of a win. The visitors stroked two See Defeat, page 40

Local team creates DVD for equestrians; donates to Durham Library LAST CHANCE FOR SUMMER FUN. GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY!

KIDS DAY

MORE FUN TO LOVE

Durham resident Andrea Steele’s most recent project is with Clinton resident and dressage trainer Patricia Norcia and Meriden tai chi instructor David Ritchie to explore the benefits of tai chi exercise for the equestrian in a two-disc DVD released on Aug. 15, called Riding with Chi: Your Pathway to Energy Mastery. Steele says, “Both horse and rider benefit from the rider’s practice of easy-to-follow tai chi style exercise.” She has discovered that the mind/body connection fostered by practicing tai chi not only improves the rider’s position in the saddle, but also enhances the communication between horse and rider through the controlled exchange of energy — or chi. She believes that this exchange of energy allows horse and rider

to move as one. Steele credits Durham resident and freelance graphic designer, Maggie Peterson, who provided design work on Steele’s book, for design help on the logo for this project. She thanks Lisa and Roger Passavant, owners of Rivendell Farm, for opening their equestrian center and offering two of their beautiful quarter horses to be videoed for several scenes in the program. And, she is now working with Durham businesses Anything Goes and The Printing Department, for promotional products. The two-disc instructional and exercise program can be purchased online at Filmbaby.com. Steele has donated a copy to the Durham Library.

mold has begun growing in the building, raising possible health concerns. These issues need to be seriously addressed in order for the town to operate the building in the most safe and efficient way.

Based on his study, Arcari estimates that the town will have to spend approximately $711,000 for all of the necessary repairs and suggested upgrades.

Arcari suggested that a long term solution for the building might be to use it as a storage facility, but even if that were done, the necessary bare minimum improvements would have to be made. Casey Cordes, chairman of the Conservation Committee, was up next, requesting money from the reserve fund to help preserve Schilling Farm in Durham, whose owner Jim Scott is proposing to donate the development rights to the

CT Farmland Trust, a nonprofit organization that has preserved 18 farms in Connecticut. The money from the reserve fund would go towards funding the legal and appraisal fees for the transaction. Preserving the area would maintain the rural feel of Durham, keeping the town less developed. The owners of Schilling Farm have also suggested opening the land for public use, including allowing local District 13 schools to use the area for environmental studies. Members at the meeting all agreed that it would be in the town’s best interest to preserve this land, and requested that Cordes do more research into the specifics of this proposal.

Defeat

(Continued from page 31)

straight singles, putting runners on first and second. With two strikes, the next batter hit the ball up the middle to tie the contest. TOT had an opportunity to win in the bottom of the ninth. After two line outs, Rizzo lined a single to center, only to be left there on another line drive out to first base. The visitors grabbed their first and only lead in the tenth, stringing together five hits and taking advantage of two fielding misplays to score five runs. Hall was left stranded on first to end the game. The team managed only 13 hits in the game, with Anderson getting three; Rowe and Rizzo had two apiece. Rightcenter fielder Rizzo snared several fly balls for outs to keep TOT’s lead. Fellow outfielders Anderson and Evers, as well as first-baseman Jack

Carr, second baseman Rowe, shortstop Hall and third-baseman Devaux made quality plays to keep the team ahead. Hubbard hurled a complete game, deserving a better fate.

Weather permitting, TOT, now at 1-10, played their final game against Essex on Thursday, Aug. 20, against Essex at Jarvis Field, on the corner of Brush Hill Road and Anderson Road in Middletown. The team is assured to play at least one play-off game on Saturday, Aug. 22, at Jarvis, at about 10 a.m. If they are victorious, they would play a second game against the top-seeded team later that day. The league championship game is on Sunday, Aug. 23, at Jarvis. The team invites family and friends to cheer on the team and their favorites.
