Pros and cons seen in plan to transfer Korn school to town
The property at 216 Main St. in Durham may be the future site of Durham’s Perk on Main. Many hurdles remain, however. | Mark Dionne, Town Times
Main Street location eyed for Durham’s Perk cussed the possibility of moving the coffee and crepe restaurant from 6 Main St. to 216 Main St.
By Mark Dionne Town Times
Perk on Main opened in 2002, and has been at its current location since 2007. The landlord refused to renew Hughes-Nelson’s lease, however.
Katie Hughes-Nelson, owner of Perk on Main, has started the long process of finding a new location for the Durham restaurant. In an “informal discussion” with Durham’s Planning & Zoning Commission on Wednesday, June 21, Hughes-Nelson dis-
“Retaining Perk on Main is unequivocally in the best interest of the town,” Hughes-Nelson told the commission. See Perk, A18
On Monday, June 26, the Durham Board of Selectmen met for the first time since a public information session revealed details of a process for the town to acquire the Francis E. Korn Elementary building and six acres of land to be used as a community center. Residents and one selectmen questioned whether Durham was getting the best deal while others asked for the selectmen to put the idea to a vote. Also, First Selectmen Laura Francis told the larger-than-usual crowd that the memorandum of understanding, basically the framework of the agreement between Durham, Middlefield, and Regional School District 13, was being reworded. According to the plan, which was first publicly described on June 12, Durham would receive the former school building and a surrounding six-acre lot in exchange
According to Francis, the memorandum of understanding was being reviewed by town and district attorneys to include an understanding that Durham would not acquire Korn unless the voters endorsed the expenses of renovation and operating the building. Francis said, “We don’t want to own a building that we can’t afford to renovate or operate.” The transfer of land and voter approval of financing have different mechanisms – a town meeting and referendum – and the sequence would have to be coordinated to make sure that Durham residents expressed support for the cost before taking on the property. Francis indicated that apSee Korn, A17

COMMENTARY
Will Connecticut again be ruled by decree? (What’s in a name? Saybrook, the oldest of the three colonies in what is now Connecticut, dating back to 1635, was named in honor of the two Puritan Lords who were its principal investors: William Fiennes, the first Viscount Saye and Sele; and Robert Greville, the second Baron Brooke. Now, isn’t that interesting?) Connecticut gained a royal
Things are very different today, of course: Everyone can vote, although in last year’s presidential election only about 65 percent of us bothered. But that’s democracy in
a sense, under King Dannel I, also known as Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. Not that he sought such power, but he has already presented legislative leaders with an outline of how he will manage the budget, should the legislature fail to act in time. And, given the $5 billion shortfall we’re facing over two years, this will mean some large cuts. Never mind that our servants in Washington have no qualms about throwing a snit-fit from time to time and shutting the government down; our servants in Hartford don’t have that option.
action, and here we might well note some words from Winston Churchill: “Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried …” Sin and woe notwithstanding, by Saturday we in Connecticut may be living under a different system, more like a good old monarchy. Unless the General Assembly passes a budget by midnight Friday, this state will start operating by decree, in
So we see that history isn’t just old stuff; our Connecticut lawmakers continue to make history — to break new legislative wind, you might say — every June 30 by dragging their work out until the last possible moment, even though those June 30 deadlines always arrive a whole year apart. In fact, even the first Viscount Saye and Sele, way back in 1635, could have told them that midnight on June 30, 2017, would arrive precisely at midnight on June 30, 2017.

Connecticut may be known as “The Constitution State,” but democracy wasn’t exactly one of its founding principles. The three colonies — Saybrook, New Haven and Connecticut — that eventually merged into one looked to London for their ultimate authority. Nowhere is it written in our colonial history that liberty and justice for all were even on the agenda; this was a theocracy, and the early Connecticut Puritans
charter under King Charles II in 1662 (England had been without a king for a while, after Charles I lost his head), and that document granted the “Governour and Company of the English Colony of Connecticut in New England in America” a considerable degree of self-government. Progress: Now everyone who was white, male, Puritan, and owned property could vote.

Oliver is looking for someone who will understand that he will need some time to adjust to a new home. Oliver occasionally needs medicine when his mouth gets inflamed from stomatitis. At 5 years old, he is a real sweet boy who is ready to soak up all the love someone is ready to give. He would be fine sharing a new home with another non-dominant cat, but no dogs. Come meet him.

IT’S ALL GOOD
Ghost of Summers Past It’s that time of year again, when I “wax poetic” about the blessings of this season, past and present. Memories of magical days come flooding in, as the Ghost of Summers Past (the cousin of the Ghost of Christmas Past) makes a guest appearance, pulling up visions of childhood summers.
Another summer pastime was horseshoes. Suffice it to say that bystanders were advised to wear a helmet.
We went to drive-ins. I don’t even know if they exist anymore. We usually went with the same family that accompanied us to the fireworks. The adults would sit in one car and we kids were in the next one. It was a good deal for everyone, with the grown-ups not being pushed to the brink of insanity by us young’uns, and us having the liberty to be as boisterous as we wanted. There were always two movies, and during the in-between times we
youngsters would go to the snack bar, dollars clutched tightly in our fists, and maybe we’d hit up the swings on the way back. There were a few summers, over the years, when we went to Nantucket to visit my grandparents. I wanted to stay there, because I’m such an island girl. I can’t think of a better life than one in which I am surrounded by water. So as you can see, the Ghost of Summers Past is much kinder to me than that Christmas one was to Ebenezer, who merely pointed out his mistakes. My ghost tells me, “It was all good, my dear girl.” It still is. Diana Carr, a resident of Durham, is a certified life coach.

The Fourth of July, of course. We’d watch the fireworks from West Wharf Beach, in Madison, usually with another family. Huddled in our windbreakers because it was often cold by the beach. Swatting the armies of mosquitoes that also showed up for the occasion. The sky on fire, lit up with rainbow colors, with us “oooohing” and “aahhhing.” The grand finale that always had us clapping. Every summer we would go to Uncle Chuck’s picnic at

the gravel pit he owned. We kids would slide down the huge mountains of sand on cardboard, which worked as well as a sled in winter. There was a pond that we would jump in, and lots of food. One of the very best memories.

You’ve heard, probably more than you care to, about those glorious days at the beach, so I will spare you yet another accounting of that particular joy. Which is fine, because there are so many others that we can delve into. Like strawberry shortcake every night after supper. Plump, juicy berries piled on top of buns made from Bisquick, smothered with homemade whipped cream. Big servings, too. We never skimped on the delights of the palette.
We had a badminton net in the backyard, which entertained us on the evenings we weren’t at the Dairy Queen or Maple Shade. I was never athletic. In fact, I pretty much stunk at any sport involving a ball, which is most of them. But a featherweight birdie? No problem. For one thing, I didn’t have to deal with the disappointment of my teammates when I fumbled the ball. Or made a point for the other team. I liked badminton. No pressure.

New England church organizations unite HARTFORD – More than 1,000 representatives from some of the oldest churches in southern New England voted at an historic meeting at the Connecticut Convention Center on June 17 to move forward with plans to join their state organizations together into one combined entity, so that they may have a stronger voice speaking for
justice and may more effectively carry out their mission. Representatives from the Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island Conferences of the United Church of Christ voted decisively to work together to develop a formal proposal to form a new Conference that combines the three southern New England organizations.
At this first-ever joint meeting, local church delegates and authorized ministers from the three Conferences passed a resolution calling for them to join together to carry out their ministries, disregarding state boundaries that have long divided them. Conference leaders will now develop a formal proposal for a new Confer-
ence which will be brought before a second joint Annual Meeting a year from now in Springfield, MA. “Our delegates have spoken in favor of the proposal moving forward together,” said Connecticut Conference Minister the Rev. Kent J. Siladi. “The Spirit has moved among us and the people have said, ‘Yes’ to continuing
our discernment about forming a new way to engage in mission and ministry.” The boundaries of the Conferences of the United Church of Christ have not changed since the mainline Protestant denomination was formed in 1957. – Press Release

Moore said that the votes on the BOE regarding the Korn building have not been split between the towns. “All of the members have carefully looked at the costs.” Moore suggested that the Korn building could be valued as high as $2.2 million. “We have worked to get it down to the remaining debt,” which results in the $27,000 for five years payment, Moore said.
The Korn school building has been empty of students since the last day of school in June, 2016. A plan for Durham to acquire and use the building as a community center is being examined. | Mark Dionne, Town Times

Other residents said that the town was losing businesses because of the limited number of business properties and that no one wanted another vacant structure on Main Street. Several employees from Perk, which also has locations in Guilford and Middletown, spoke in support of the restaurant and Hughes-Nelson. Liz Cippolina noted that town officials have repeatedly said that they would like to attract millennials to Durham. “I’ve never seen so many young people at a Planning & Zoning Meeting,” Cipollina said. Of the public, only Duncan Milne spoke with much skepticism of the idea. Milne said, “If you open this door, it stays open.” Although the voices were largely absent from Wednesday’s session, many Durham residents spoke in strong opposition to expanding business zones on Main Street during the town’s update of the Plan of Conservation and Development.

State police safely located a lost couple on a trail near the Meriden/Middlefield town line Monday night. On Monday about 9 p.m., state troopers at Troop F in Westbrook received a call from a man who stated his pregnant girlfriend was lost on a trail near the Meriden/ Middlefield line, state police said in a statement. The man also went to search for his girlfriend on the trail, but in doing so, became lost himself. Trooper Burke and a dog, Cesar, from Troop I in Bethany responded to the trail about 9:45 p.m. and located the uninjured hikers minutes later.
