Obituary Patricia (Orr) Newton on how to use an electric stove. Once the children were born, Pat became what she proudly termed “a domestic engineer.” She had always wanted to go to college, so when the children were old enough, she went back to school. She received her bachelor of arts in special education from Southern Connecticut State College in 1981, and her master of arts in reading in 1987. She was employed for many years in Durham, Middlefield, and Middletown as a substitute teacher. Pat was a member of the United Churches of Durham, and was an avid gardener. She spent many summers tending to her flowers and vegetables. She also loved arts and
crafts, and enjoyed creating many things, from stepping stones to painted book bags. Pat will be remembered for the many crafts that she taught her children, along with passing along a love for gardening and raising many different flowers and vegetables. She enjoyed showing off her flower arrangements and other items at the fair, as well as selling flowers, vegetables, and crafts at the local farmers markets. She was always eager to help with plant selection and planting advice. She will also be remembered for the many places that the family went on field trips.

Grassroots group promises to ‘fight back’ Fight Back CT, a new Connecticut-based grassroots organization formed to work together to resist President Trump’s agenda, held a launch event Sunday at the Durham Town Hall featuring a live stream message from U.S. Sen.

Fifty people attended. “What a terrific event,” said Liz Cipollina, Durham DTC outreach coordinator. “We

“It’s a great way to showcase adoptable animals from municipal pounds,” Lamb said. “Homeward Bound is a wonderful organization.”

Homeward Bound volunteer Linda Hirsch brings Dory out to meet a visitor, Ivy Linden-Dionne, at Homeward Bound’s adoption event on the Durham Fairgrounds.
SERVICE DIRECTORY
The adoption weekend, simply called “Shelter Dog Adoption Event,” has taken place three times, every spring since the organization was founded in 2015. Homeward Bound has another large event, in October, on the Guilford Green and other, smaller events. According to Chris Lamb of Waterford, president and founder of CT Animal House, which supports animals in municipal shelters, the event helps give the dogs “the best chance at adoption.”
If they were not adopted from the Durham Fairgrounds, the Georgia dogs are not going back south, but to rescues and fosters in-state with no chance of returning to a kill shelter.

Dog crates were spread out around the Cow Palace and the dogs came in and out of their crates, sometimes with a bit of coaxing from volunteers and potential adopters. The dogs waiting for new families were a mixture of large and small, with many chihuahua mixes and lab mixes around. Some were eager to greet every new person and dog and others were more hesitant.
Hotkowski said, “There’s a lot of steps, a lot of meetings and a lot of talking and a lot of vetting that we do to make sure that it’s really the right home.”
Some of the dogs come from local shelters and rescues and many others come from Georgia. Homeward Bound volunteers take responsibility for the Georgia dogs since they do not come north with a local organization.
51971-01
President Sue Hotkowski, “What we do, and our main mission, is to help rescues and shelters find homes for dogs, so we supply a location, advise the rescues, we promote the dogs ... we take applications and pre-screen the applicants, we have the events, we open the doors and we have volunteers at the event.”
Each organization at the fairgrounds had a screening and application process and the adoption event also had a dog handler and trainer to talk to potential adopters.
