Bailey is Middlefield’s First Selectman Durham BOS remains intact

By Mark Dionne

Town Times

Republican Ed Bailey won election as Middlefield’s First Selectman in the municipal contests on Nov. 3. Longtime First Selectman Jon Brayshaw did not seek re-election to that post. Instead, Brayshaw, a Republican, won a seat as a Selectman.

Bailey garnered more votes

than his Democratic challenger Peter Neidhart and independent candidate Robert Johnson.

Democratic candidate Taryn Ruffino will be the third Selectman.

At press time, Middlefield’s Town Clerk’s office was unable to provide vote totals.

In Durham, the Board of Selectmen will have the same make up it did in the previous term with Republican Laura Francis as First Selectman and Republican John Szewczyk and Democrat Steve

Levy as Selectmen.

Tax Collector Martin French defeated his Republican challenger Bonnie Ryder by an unofficial tally of 942-628.

Town Treasurer Wendy Pedersen-Manemeit won re-election over her Democratic challenger Christine Geraci with an unofficial tally of 989-547.

Republican Kim Garvis ran unopposed for Town Clerk.

Because of minority representation laws, certain seats on town boards are reserved

for one party or the other. On the Board of Finance, Molly Nolan, a Democrat, and Chuck Stengel, a Republican, won seats.

Despite finishing with the second highest vote total among the BOF candidates, Eric Berens will not serve on the BOF because, as a Republican, he and Stengel were essentially running for the one Republican seat.

Many races in Durham were uncontested. Frank DeFelice, Dan Melnik, Richard Eriksen and Jan Mel-

nik claimed the four seats on the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Also running unopposed, Edward Fronc and Will Spooner won the two P and Z alternate seats.

There were three candidates, Mark Jungels, William LaFlamme and David Heer, for three seats on the Zoning Board of Appeals and three candidates, Anton Nolan, Mike Geremia and Tom Wenchell, for three alternate positions on the Zoning Board of Appeals.

November will be devoted to bringing District 13’s Core Ethical Values – respect, responsibility, kindness, honesty, and courage – into greater prominence in the Durham and Middlefield communities.

In an event coordinated by the Durham Middlefield Local Wellness Coalition, school groups, town officials, churches, businesses, and the libraries will promote those five values, with each November week devoted to a different Core Ethical Value.

Durham First Selectman Laura Francis has been impressed by the way those values have created a positive school environment. “It really has permeated everything they do. It’s become part of the language,” said Francis, who thought the Core Ethical Values should be adopted through the community.

On Sept. 21, the Durham Board of Selectmen passed a resolution to “follow the lead of the students and staff of Regional School District 13” and

Using the Local Wellness Coalition’s bee logo, posters will remind Durham and Middlefield to “Be Mindful of” the school’s five Core Ethical Values in November. “adopt the Core Ethical Values from this day forward and promote such values to other officers and residents of the Town of Durham.”

The resolution also stated that selectmen will look to those values in conducting town business and making policy.

“The Core Ethical Values fit

perfectly in our mission,” said Stephanie Moran, Prevention Coordinator for the Local Wellness Coalition. The coalition, which includes town, church, business, and other community members, is calling November “Mindfulness Month” and promoting the See Mindful / Page 4

focus on one Core Ethical Value each week.

The churches will also be ringing their bells in unison at noon throughout November, as Moran puts it, “as a reminder to the community to be mindful, to stop and take a break, and be present in the moment.”

The Wellness Coalition has put together a calendar of events, available on its website and Facebook page.

Among other events is a labyrinth walk, a full size maze for participants to navigate, which is scheduled for stops

at different churches and open to the community.

According to the calendar, “A walker will enter the path and walk slowly while quieting their mind and focusing on a question, prayer, or aspect of their life.”

The Levi E. Coe Library and Durham Public Library will be offering author talks, crafts, and T’ai Chi in November.

Strong school teacher Kirsten Dietz will be offering several free late afternoon yoga classes to adults and youth.

Core Ethical Values as a way to promote wellness for youth and adults.

“If students can see it not just in our schools but in our community, we feel like it will grow them into stronger leaders,” said Moran. “If everyone in our community can show respect, responsibility, kindness, honesty, and courage, that can help in our mission to keep kids healthy and

drug-free.”

Francis said that adults should be able to accept the challenge, “after all, we’re expecting our kids to do it.”

According to Moran, the church communities provided a lot of the energy behind Mindfulness Month.

given color-coded signs to display each week, reminding people to “Be mindful of” the different values.

“Each segment is trying to do what they can,” said Francis, who notes that the school district is already known outside of Durham and Middlefield for the Core Ethical Values.

“Mindfulness Month” will end on Dec. 5, which is also the date for the Community Round Up. This year’s Community Round Up will feature student artwork illustrating different Core Ethical Values.

Special thanks to Public Works for their flexibility and time spent working behind the scenes for election storage and set up. Thanks also to the Korn school personnel for working with us to set up elections with Public Works.

We are thankful to those candidates who came forward and put their names on the ballot and were willing to serve the citizens of Durham. We are also impressed with the attention that Durham’s voters give to our notices. As we have increased our election information, we have seen an increase in voter registration and participation, showing us how engaged our electorate is. So thanks to all those who helped us with the election process and all those who turned out and exercised their Constitutional right to vote.

One cool cat Shiloh is a kitty extraordinaire. He came to me in May, when he was 10 weeks old, and he has been quite entertaining.

Oh, there’s the usual stuff.

Batting around bottle caps.

Climbing the curtains (that’s usual, right?) Rolling around in paper bags after I’ve put the groceries away. His rapt attention for absolutely everything.

Like all new critters, he’s in love with life.

The behavior that strays from the norm, however –

Laura Anderson

and this tickles me every time – is his penchant for climbing into the refrigerator. I’ve taken one of the bottom bins out because it just wouldn’t sit right, and this has left a lovely empty space for Shiloh. As soon as he hears that refrigerator door open, he races across the kitchen floor with breathtaking speed, whips around, backs into that space, and settles in as if he was lounging in See Carr / Page 7

Carr From Page 6

When I finally plop him onto the kitchen floor, his coat is quite cold. He was well on his way to Popsicle Land.

And this isn’t his only quirk. He does not share his fellow felines’ disdain for water. He loves water. Every time I turn on the kitchen faucet he bounds up to the sink and sticks his paw into the stream and then licks it off his paw, repeatedly. And

the washing machine is a never-ending source of joy for him, too. As I’m stuffing it with clothes, he’s right there, mesmerized by the cascade of water that has mysteriously appeared. He pokes at it with his paw. He gets up close to it and sniffs.

I make sure I get him away before he falls in and the clothes start churning away.

The instructions for my

machine make no mention of how to wash a cat. Warm water? Cold water? The delicate cycle?

I don’t even want to tell you how excited he gets when I flush the toilet!

front of a warm fire on a cold winter’s night.

Now, obviously this is not an ideal place for napping.

For one thing, my fare of fruits and veggies and hummus and beverages require a closed door, in order to function at their best. For another, Shiloh bunking down in the fridge is apt to turn him into a popsicle. So I thought I had dealt with the matter-at-hand when I filled the space with huge bunches of kale, leaving it no longer habitable. Yeah, that didn’t work. Now he jumps onto the shelf above it. He is determined that he and that refrigerator will not soon be parting ways.

I try to lure him out with treats in his bowl, which sometimes works, but not always. I have thrown toys

across the room, hoping he will chase them. Nope. I have picked up his laser toy and darted that red dot all around. Yawn, he says. I have told him in no uncertain terms that he cannot stay there. He just stares at me, and I swear I see a smirk on his little kitty face.

So there’s nothing left to do now but take the direct approach. I’m going in! I try to grab him so that I can slide him out, but he wedges himself behind the pot of lima beans and the black olives and the strawberries.

I have to take all the food out, so that he has no place to hide. And then I slowly inch him out. I think he instantly packs on another five pounds (oh, I know that one!) so that he is considerably heavier now and the aforementioned inching is a rather painstaking affair.

From Page 1

Micowski, a Strong Middle School of Durham teacher, was among the attendees.

Schorr’s personal reflections inspired teachers to include Holocaust studies in their curriculum. But the event transcended the Holocaust.

“We want to give teachers the knowledge to teach about the Holocaust and the lessons it holds today,” said Marji Lipshez-Shapiro, senior associate director the Anti-Defamation League. “They can empower students who face oppression to take a stand, whether it’s antisemitism, racism or

homophobia.”

Schorr offered remarks on contemporary issues as well.

“Every one of us has to take part to do something and make a difference,” she said. “Every incident is everyone’s responsibility. We have to find a new way to find peace. Don’t stay silent. Silence is death.”

Of course, silence resulted in the death of millions in the Holocaust.

“Everyone stood by and no one had the guts to stand up and say no,” Schorr said. “The whole world turned its back and people were shot for no reason.”

Schorr grew up in Czechoslovakia and was shipped to concentration camps with members of her family who would be killed.

Schorr spent 11 months at Auschwitz in Poland and was sent to Bergen-Belsen in Germany before being liberated at

the end of the war.

“To survive you have to keep your hope and have perseverance,” she said, an attitude she maintains to this day.

The audience of teachers and other observers was moved by her account. “We like to have survivors speak at our programs, but there are now very few survivors who can speak,” Lipshez-Shapiro said. “They’re in their late 80s or 90s, so it’s rare to get a survivor speaker.”

The event was part of the ADL’s Echoes and Reflections program which promotes Holocaust education.

Kevin Basmadjian, dean of the School of Education, said, “We are trying to be a resource for educators who promote social justice. We sponsor programs around these themes and topics.” He said three former and two current students attended the event.

of a concussion, and how to safely help someone with a concussion. By providing parents with this information we can ensure concussed athletes receive the care they need quicker than they have in the past and help avoid further injuries. All student-athletes and their parents or legal guardians will now need to sign a consent form acknowledging that they have received the concussion education materials before the start of any athletic season.

It is required that all interscholastic and intramural coaches take a concussion education course in order to receive their coaching permit.

Beginning this year, coaches will be required to review concussion and head injury materials prepared by the SDE in order to ensure they are familiar with current concussion safety protocols.

A concussion is a traumatic brain injury characterized by a temporary loss in brain function, and frequently resulting in subtle or significant cognitive and emotional symptoms.

Concussions can be caused by a direct blow to the head or as the result of rapid acceleration or deceleration of the body or rotational forces significant enough to shake the brain.

Not giving the brain enough time to heal after a concussion can be extremely dangerous.

Athletes who have had a concussion have a greater chance of suffering a repeat injury. A second concussion received before the brain fully heals from the first can slow recovery and increase the chances for long-term health problems.

Long-term consequences can include permanent changes to how the athlete thinks, feels, or acts, as well as their ability to learn and remember. A repeat concussion can even result in brain swelling, permanent brain damage, or death.

All concussions are serious injuries to the brain, and it is important that they be treated that way. The new protocols released this year will help give parents, athletes, and coaches the tools they need to manage concussion risks and help keep students healthy on the field and in the classroom.

For the second year in a row, 13-year-old Dylan Sartor from Middlefield has won the opportunity to compete for a PGA Junior National Championship.

On Nov. 5-8, Dylan’s Connecticut team will compete for the fifth PGA Junior National Championship against seven other teams at Disney’s Palm Course within Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort.

“It’s just as exciting,” said Dylan, speaking at Middlefield’s Apple Nine, where he does a lot of training.

Scouts take on double challenge feet.

It wa s l i ke c l i m b i n g smaller mountains all the way just to reach the summit of Mt. Jefferson.

It was a beautiful trail with views of Base Station from where the cog departs, and in the distance we can see Mt. Washington.

After a short break, we began the mile and a half hike to the summit of Mt. Clay. The weather was so clear that we were able to see Spaulding Lake and the Great Gulf Wilderness.

We decided to take the the fourth, Mt. Clay (5,533 feet).

We started out on a crisp, clear morning at 7 a.m. The entire group began at the Trailhead of Caps Ridge.

The trail is 2.5 miles, consisting of “caps” which are three very distinct “summits” on the ridge, all very ledgy from the 1.5- to 1.9mile points on the trail, with the Lower Cap at 4,422 feet and the Upper Cap at 4,830

On Sept. 11 to 13, 25 members of Troop 270 set out on a journey to summit two mountains in New Hampshire.

Last year we conquered Mt. Washington (the tallest peak in the Presidentials, 6,288 feet) going up and down in one day, so we decided to summit two mountains this year.

The third highest peak, Mt. Jefferson (5,712 feet) and

3.7-mile Jewell Trail down and then head back to camp.

Upon arriving at camp around 5 p.m., we all enjoyed a Boy Scout cooked dinner and Mrs. McMaster’s delicious homemade apple crisp.

A great time was had by all. Until next time.

The Connecticut team is much younger this time around. Dylan said, “This year a good half of our team is younger ... One kid on our team is actually 7 years old, amazingly, and he’s no slouch.”

Dylan does not expect to see anyone younger than 12 or 13 on the other teams.

Dylan said he is a better golfer than he was a year ago and he has put in the commitment to improve. During a “golf week” in the summer, Dylan will practice five to

Connecticut Business License # B-2045

eight hours per day. In other seasons, school, various activities, and the setting sun put pressure on course time.

Those hours of practice give Dylan a reserve of confidence on the golf course. “If there’s one little iota of doubt it can translate pretty heavily on your shot.” The youngster said, “It takes thousands and thousands of shots to build confidence but it can take only one to lose it.”

That view makes golf sound like a stressful game, but preparation takes that away.

According to Dylan, “If you’re not prepared you should be stressed out ... with nobody to blame but yourself.”

While sounding like a tough competitor, Dylan talks about a mental approach to the sport that borders on the artistic.

About approaching a shot, Dylan said, “You can simplify golf to its physical and mental principals of everything that is essential. The process that work truly takes is eliminating everything else, taking off any extraneous motion in your swing ... taking everything out of your mind but that one swing thought.”

That process of learning the proper swing has yielded impressive results. Last year, Dylan won the long ball competition, one of the side events the PGA Junior League does to make the tournament more fun.

While distance is a key part of Dylan’s game, he notes, “Distance without control is useless.”

In order to focus on golf, Dylan does not currently participate in other sports, but he does play the drums. Although he drums for fun, he is still committed, playing in Strong school’s jazz and concert band, as well as taking private lessons and participating in a School of Rock program.

Drumming turns out to have a spillover effect on golf.

Dylan said, “As I’ve gotten better at drumming, I’ve felt that finesse in my hands more and more and I realize that it helps me a lot” with golf.

Dylan also participates in theater, and last year played Captain Hook in JLPA/PaperHouse’s “Peter Pan, Jr.” Like drumming, theater has some See Sartor / Page 19

200 human lives in the U.S. are lost because of deer/vehicle collisions.

It is interesting to note that you do not have to be in a rural area to have a deer/vehicle collision. This can happen almost anywhere, anytime. Although we have not had deer killed in front of our Dogwood Lane home in Meriden, deer have been spotted in the road in front of our home and traveling through our backyard on the other side of or fence.

For reasons unknown to me, it appears that does and young deer seem to be more susceptible to being hit by a motor vehicle than bucks (antlered males).

When we had our place in New York, we had a deer crossing right through our front lawn. Across the street was a farm field that usually grew corn, alfalfa and pumpkins that the deer seemed to relish.

Because of the crossing area right outside our home, I was able to observe the deer and noticed that the does and young deer would almost wait until a vehicle was upon them before panicking and dashing out into the road in front of the oncoming vehicle. The bucks would seemingly wait until they were sure that there was no oncoming traffic before they went across the road into the fields.

This time of the year presents a prime time for such accidents with deer to happen. The bucks are beginning to get the urge to mate and are doing a lot more roaming around. This also makes the does a little edgy, and when they are not ready to accept a buck’s attentions they will run away from him. I have also witnessed this in the many hours I have spent in the woods.

Searching for food will also get deer in trouble as they travel about. I know this sounds unbelievable, but a number of years ago, old friend Norm Van Cor and I spent one early mornSee Roberts / Page 21

Roberts remained at the top of the list with drivers having a 1-in-44 chance of hitting a deer compared to Pennsylvania’s 1 in 70.

On a personal note, I know of a man who hit not one, but two deer in Pennsylvania on the same night.

Although he did have damage to his vehicle, he was able to drive it after both collisions, neither of which killed the deer.

What’s that you said? You want to know the odds of hitting a deer on Connecti-

and New Hampshire. Yet when I was in New York, they were almost an everyday occurrence.

According to the State Farm statistics, the top five states where a driver is most likely to have a claim from a collision with a deer, moose or elk are West Virginia (1 in 44), Iowa (1 in 68), Montana (1 in 69), Pennsylvania (1 in 70) and South Dakota (1 in 73).

The state with the least

cut highways? Connecticut is 1 in 293. The other New England states are Maine 1 in 158, New Hampshire 1 in 252, Vermont 1 in 195, Massachusetts 1 in 443 and Rhode Island 1 in 264. Oh, and New York is 1 in 159.

When you think about it, the numbers can be deceiving. Take Maine, for instance. Over the many years I have traveled to Maine for hunting and fishing, I have only seen two dead deer on the highways.

The same for Vermont

ing cruising the back roads on the northwestern stretch of Connecticut that borders New York and spotted 124 deer. Most of them were feeding in fields and under apple trees. Many were right in people’s yards!

One day while in New York, I stopped at a local convenience store to get gas and a coffee and the lady inside said to me, “Hi, Mike. Hey, you know, you don’t need to be hunter to kill a deer here in New York. I got one this morning on the way into work with my car. It is going to cost me around $2,400 to get it fixed.”

I asked her if this was her first deer collision and her answer really floored me.

“Nope. This is the fourth deer I have hit while living in New York and every one of them did some serious damage to my cars even though I was not traveling that fast when I hit them.

They seem to come out of nowhere and all four accidents happened either in the early evening or early morning.”

This is not to say that deer and vehicles collide only in the fall. These accidents can happen anytime of the year.

One year when we had our place in New York, Edna and I were heading home to Connecticut on the Fourth of July weekend and counted 29 dead deer on the highways we traveled (about 240 miles). They were all does and fawns, leaving one to wonder what kind of motor vehicle carnage they caused upon being hit.

I receive an outdoor publication called New York Outdoor News and they had an interesting article in the Oct. 2 publication titled, “Hitting a deer while driving: What are the chances?” The data was projected as a whole for the insurance industry based on State Farm Insurance information.

State Farm’s report said the national cost per claim averages $4,130, up six percent from 2014. (Note:

They don’t make vehicles like they used to; today front ends are made out of molded plastics.)

The odds rating for getting involved with a deer while driving is based more on the number of licensed drivers in a state and not population. For instance, nearly 10 percent of the country’s deer claims occur in Pennsylvania (126,275 collisions), though when taking into account the number of licensed drivers, the state of West Virginia

deer/vehicle collisions? Hawaii, of course, where the odds are 1 in 8,765.

When on the road during this high deer activity time, State Farm advises drivers to use extra caution in areas known for high deer densities. In our area, I would say I-691 and Research Parkway, although they are now just about everywhere.

Wear your seat belt at all times and use your high beams at night when there is no incoming traffic.

Avoid swerving (especially into an oncoming lane) when you see a deer. Keep an eye out for deer on the side of the road and, if one crosses, expect more to follow. And do not rely on devices such as those deer whistles.

Oh, and regarding the cost of a deer/vehicle collision, if you do not have

collision insurance you are S.O.O.L. (Surely Out Of Luck).

Atlantic salmon stockings Having the opportunist to fish for the majestic Atlantic Salmon right here in Connecticut is almost unbelievable in my book. The DEEP’s Inland Fisheries Division has already released 250 Atlantic Salmon into Crystal Lake in Ellington and Mt. Tom in the Morris Litchfield area.

They also put 300 salmon into both the Shetucket and Naugatuck rivers recently.

The DEEP will continue to stock the salmon until reaching a total of 1,200.

Approximately 1,000 of the Atlantic Salmon weigh between 2-6 pounds each.

The other 200 will weigh between 3-14 pounds.

Naugatuck rivers are typically released into three designated areas: between Scotland Dam and Occam Dam in Norwich on the Shetucket River, the Campville Section of the upper Naugatuck from Route 118 to the Thomaston Flood Control Dam and the Beacon Falls Section of the lower Naugatuck from Prospect Street downstream to Pines Bridge.

In the Naugatuck, Housatonic and Shetucket rivers, the Atlantic Salmon are “catch and release” from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30. From Dec. 1 to March 31, the daily creel limit is one salmon.

In salmon waters open to fishing, only gear legal for salmon is allowed.

In lakes stocked with Atlantic Salmon, the regulations for methods, seasons, minimum lengths for salmon are the same as for trout in that specific body of water, but the creel limit is one salmon per day. More specific info on salmon fishing can be found in the 2015 CT Angler’s Guide.
