In wake of Charlottesville, residents rally against bigotry By Mark Dionne Town Times
A rally of about 200 people gathered on Middletown’s South Green Sunday to express solidarity with those protesting against white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, speak out against the continued expressions of racism, and to condemn the response from President Donald Trump.
Things to know about the eclipse By Bryan Lipiner Record-Journal staff
Next week, a solar eclipse will be visible over North America while some parts of the country will experience a rare total eclipse. Here are 11 things to know about the eclipse and tips for viewing the historic event.
“I’m very concerned about the direction our country is going in as far as the lack of respect and the fear of anybody who is not exactly like we are,” said Marilyn Horn of Durham. “I’m here to be a presence.”
The eclipse will be Monday, Aug. 21. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun and partially or fully blocks the sun.

Thieves seen stealing ATM from restaurant State police are investigating after an ATM was ripped out of Guida’s Restaurant in Middlefield and loaded into a van last week. State police said in a statement they were called to the restaurant at 484 Meriden Road about 2:36 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9 after a burglary alarm was activated. Officers found the front door of the business broken off the hinges, and the wall next to the door was also damaged. After speaking with the owners, state police determined the ATM was stolen from the building. Officers viewed security footage which showed a white 1995-2002
A third suspect driving the van accelerated and pulled the front door off. Two men then tied the chain around the ATM inside the store. The driver accelerated again, pulling the machine out of the restaurant, state police said. The suspects picked up the ATM, put it in the van and fled the scene. An undisclosed amount of cash was in the ATM at the time, state police noted. Anyone with information is asked to contact Troop F at 860-399-2100 or to text the tip line by texting TIP711 followed by your message to 274637 (CRIMES). All calls or texts will remain confidential.

DURHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY HOSTS HENNA ARTIST Jamilah Zebarth, right, draws a complicated henna pattern at the Durham Public Library’s Henna Tattoo event on Wednesday, Aug. 2. Before decorating the participants, Zebarth, of Jamilah Henna Creations, gave a presentation about the history of henna. Zebarth explained what made henna different from a tattoo. Henna, according to Zebarth, originally had medicinal uses and also spread among different cultures as a decorative, not a religious, practice.

afraid we’re going to set a new benchmark for racism” of torches, swastikas, and murder.
From A1
Horn spoke of a similar fear. “It’s becoming more acceptable to be racist and that bothers me more than anything else that I see, even abroad.”
in Connecticut after a group of alt-right white nationalists, including neo-Nazis and members of the Ku Klux Klan, gathered in Charlottesville to protest the removal of a Confederate statue and were met with counter-demonstrators. The day before the rally, Heather Heyer of Charlottesville was killed and 19 others injured when a car, allegedly driven by one of the alt-right activists, rammed into a group of counter-protesters. Later that day two police officers monitoring the demonstrations, Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper Berke M.M. Bates, died in a helicopter crash. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency. The overt racism and deaths cast a somber tone to the Middletown gathering and several attendees described themselves as shaken. Maureen Hamilton of Middlefield said, “I’ve done a lot of crying, stuck on my computer watching all the feeds and I thought ‘That’s enough of that, now I have to do something positive.’” The rally was quickly orga-
Dedicated to women, committed to excellence
Several Middletown rally attendees said they believed a white nationalist rally like the one in Charlottesville could happen in Connecticut, but expected that it would be smaller and met with more resistance.

nized by Action Together Connecticut, a coalition of progressive groups that formed after the 2016 election. Middletown Mayor and Connecticut gubernatorial candidate Dan Drew asked for a moment of silence for the three people who lost their lives and asked the crowd to remember their names. “This is not a nation of hate, this is a nation of love … but that is not universal,” said Drew, who attended the event with his family. Drew said that hatred must be called out when it is recognized and was especially critical of Trump’s “wishywashy” response to the events.
Reacting to Charlottesville, Trump initially did not denounce the white supremacists, but condemned violence “on many sides.” In failing to condemn the murder of an American citizen by a neoNazi on American soil, Trump defined himself as “a white supremacist,” Drew said. “It’s not okay. It’s immoral and not who we are,” the mayor said. “Fear and hatred have no place in the United States of America.” Several other speakers at the Middletown rally made sure to qualify the violence in Virginia as terrorism. “Those marching were white supremacists and this was an act of domestic terrorism,” said Maryam Khan of the Common Ground Institute.

Also, Horn and Hamilton blamed Trump for stirring up racial resentment. “It’s very easy to fuel this backlash,” Hamilton said. “He should have come out and totally denounced what was happening. Instead he tried to split blame between the neo-Nazis and the people who were peacefully protesting against them and I think that was totally wrong. I can’t think of any reason anyone would say it was their fault too.” Writing after attending the rally, Katy Reddick of Durham said, “When things happen far away, it is easy to feel powerless to create positive change. What we could do was gather together and say that the America we love is a place where people of all different races, religions, and orientations should feel safe.” In addition to representatives from the Common Ground Institute, speakers included representatives from local churches, a social justice educator, a Planned Parenthood staff trainer, a poet, and three students with Middletown’s Mayoral Youth Cabinet. Identifying herself as a queer woman of color, Reverend Thea Rencelis of the South Church of Middletown, said, “I am afraid.” Her fear, she said, was not of the white nationalists themselves but that their racism would become the new normal. “I’m
Reddick said, “I worry that Charlottesville could happen anywhere in our country unless and until it is clear that militant racism will be condemned whenever and wherever it appears.” Horn said, “I’d like to think it wouldn’t happen here but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t.” Hamilton remembered protesting a KKK rally in Scotland, Connecticut and a KKK recruitment drive in the parking lot of a Hamden store. Those memories helped bring her to the rally on Sunday. “I wanted to be standing up for love in a time when it seems there’s so many people who have so much hate I wanted to be sure that the voice of love is heard.” According to connecticuthistory.org, a project of the CT Humanities department, the Ku Klux Klan made inroads into Connecticut during its resurgence in the 1920s, faded away, and then resurfaced in the early 1980s. In the incident most similar to Charlottesville, several dozen Klansmen in white robes on March 21, 1981 rallied in Meriden in support of a white police officer who shot and killed an African-American man. According to a connecticuthistory.org article by Andy Piascik, “A far larger number of anti-Klan demonstrators (throwing rocks and bottles) met the Klan members, resulting in injuries to 20 people and the arrests of two counter-demonstrators.”

It means that I am starting with something smaller. Way smaller. Like hair color. Hey, it’s a beginning.
must never do that again.
Things have come a long way since our hair color options, I am happy to say. People are sporting blue and green and orange and pink. And I love it! I always compliment the people with the rainbow hair, and I ask them what they used. They all used products with chemi-
cals, and I don’t want to do that. When my hair needs a pick-me-up, I rely on organic henna (Always, of course, in the same shade of brown. There’s that comfort zone again.) But while recently perusing the henna section of my health food store, I saw that “burgundy” is a choice. I hemmed and hawed, inwardly, for what seemed like an eternity. What exactly is burgundy? The color purple came to mind. Am I brave enough for a head of purple? I then spent a considerable amount of time grilling the people around me, asking if they thought I would look good in this color. I was feeling a bit faint-hearted at that point, and sorely tempted to grab my old stand-by, medium brown. But there was a battle being waged inside me. What if I look horrendous? What if I regret this? (Apparently I had an underlying belief that I would have to take my purple hair to the grave.) But I really need to start taking chances. This could be a step in that direction. Be brave, Diana! Go for it.
fear of “How will I look?” comes from a woman who traipses around town in bare feet that display bunions the size of doorknobs, and wears clown pants and tie-dyed shirts big enough to qualify as tents. Yeah, I don’t get it, either. So I went home with my box of burgundy, and I mixed up the powder with 16 ounces of boiling water, and I let it “cure” for 15 minutes (I don’t know what malady it was trying to cure), and I slapped it on my head, and I covered it all with the plastic cap, and I waited patiently for 45 minutes before rinsing it out. And then came the moment of truth. Drum roll, please!
Would I be bearing a striking resemblance to an eggplant? Well, it turns out I did not resemble any vegetable whatsoever. I was the same brown-haired person I had always been. No change. I was both relieved and disappointed. I was hoping for at least a tinge of purple. You know, the new me and all. The next time I intend to leave it on for an extra 15 minutes, and see where that takes me. I may take on that eggplant look, but I will applaud myself, no doubt, for my bravery. And who knows? Someday I may make it to that hot air balloon. With my purple hair.

>> Powder From A1
Saturday’s the first. When FIT Challenge isn’t using the course for its runs, Powder Ridge will partner with local schools, businesses and gyms for team-building exercises and runs. Anatolii Kozar, a Ukrainian citizen who lives in the United States half the year and runs around 50 races a year, said that while this run was easy for him, he still enjoyed the race. Even though he wished the price had been lower, he paid $80 to register, and that challenged him more. He said that he’ll return next year. Just as he improves with each race, many of the races get better each year, he said. “I think this race is going to go further,” Kozar said. “It’s got a reputation of being a good race,” Eric Dekle said of the races FIT Challenge organizes. Dekle came with his family and both he and his 10-year-old daughter, Jalisa, ran the race. Of all the obstacles he traversed, he said his favorite was the Destroyer, a green, sideways V-shaped wood wall. Climbers have to jump up to where the wall bends and pull themselves up before climbing over. The course doesn’t give you a break in return for making it over, though, which many couldn’t.
To descend the Destroyer, racers have to leap across six tires cut in half and placed on top of poles, and immediately begin another climb up the ridge. “I haven’t found an obstacle that difficult in other races,” said Tera Pazano, a Wilton resident. “It makes your everyday obstacles a little less overwhelming.” It’s also just nice to get out, she added. “It’s a beautiful day, why not run up and down a mountain?” “This is a really laid back atmosphere,” said Mike Vitelli, who came to the race with his friend’s young son. “I do a lot of races and this is one of my favorites,” he said. That includes most of FIT Colby Togneri, left, of Agawam, Mass. and Kiersten Higgins of Millerton, NY clear the rope Challenge’s races, said Vitelli, a Rhode Island native.

For instance, he said that in many other races, you wouldn’t see many children among the participants. Racing alongside kids gives him energy, he said, as his friend’s son eagerly climbed the ropes on one of the obstacles next to him. “He’s got all the energy in the world and it’s infectious.”

COMMENTARY
Thanks for a memorable summer Middlefield Parks and Recreation Summer Camp has been an amazing resource for the families of Middlefield and Durham for decades. After a year off, we are happy to announce that camp is back and better than ever. Under the leadership of Hannah Malcolm, the town’s Parks and Recreation director, the camp was able to make necessary changes that increased the safety of campers while providing more activities for kids of all ages. The camp was fortunate to have a staff full of returning counselors and pre-service teachers who were instrumental in making camp run smoothly.
The success of this year’s camp can also be attributed to organizations in the local community who helped make the summer unforgettable.
With the continued support of the community, we know that this summer camp will be an invaluable resource to the families of our towns.

BUSINESS VISIT
Fire Chief Peter Tyc of the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department visits the Middlefield Parks and Recreation Summer Camp.
Chamber seeks young professionals The Central Connecticut Chambers of Commerce has formed a “Young Professionals and Entrepreneurs” group in the Central Connecticut region. The goals of this group are to educate and motivate the next generation of business leaders to start and grow businesses across our region and state; provide networking and social opportunities for these new leaders to meet and form lasting business relationships and gain a stronger voice in setting policy and priorities to affect and improve economic and community development across the state and region. It is envisioned that this group will hold a series of feedback sessions for businesses, non profit and community projects and entities; provide social and business networking gatherings at local venues; and host various civic, service, and professional education events and activities with leading experts in business and leaders in community development.
State Sen. Len Suzio, right, recently visited Middlefield manufacturer Wepco Plastics to discuss his efforts at the State Capitol to help family-owned Connecticut small businesses grow and thrive. Wepco CFO Charles Daniels, left, welcomed Suzio. Wepco employs more than 20 people and specializes in prototypes and shortto medium-run production of plastic-injection molded parts that are designed by customers in the consumer goods, defense, marine, electronics, medical and aerospace industries.
Letter to the Editor Taxes aren’t the problem To the editor: I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation between two men standing in front of me in the post office. One was moving down south and the two commiserated on the state’s dwindling economy and the onus of taxes. They agreed that our tax money is just “given away” and how much better it is elsewhere.
Middlefield Parks and Recreations summer camp is so thankful to operate in a town that has such a strong sense of community. We look forward to another successful year of camp in 2018 and beyond.
Thank you and see you next summer!

The group will also maintain an active web and social media presence. Membership in the group is not limited to Chamber members, but is open to any young professional, entrepreneur, or student (age 40 and under) pursuing a career in business. For more information, contact Mark Walerysiak, Jr. at the Central Connecticut Chambers of Commerce at mark@centralctchambers.org or 860-584-4718.
If I could have joined your conversation, this is what I would have said. I see our tax dollars as pooled resources based on a sliding scale. With those funds, we all have access to emergency services, education and libraries, parks and recreation, roads and transportation. There are funds available for those who need food, shelter and medical and psychiatric care. With regards to the latter, I am grateful that I don’t require those services and grateful that they are there in case I do. I think my tax dollars are wellspent. Is there waste? Yes, but our complacency makes us partly responsible for that. What should be of at least equal concern is the fate of our consumer dollars. How we spend our money effects our community, state, country, and our world. When we buy goods shipped from overseas, we take manufacturing jobs away from Americans and support unlivable wages and unsafe working conditions elsewhere. Every time we use our credit cards or frequent a franchise establishment instead of a local business, a portion of that money leaves the state and enlarges corporate power. When we fill our gas tanks, we’re supporting the fossil fuel industries’ political agenda and environmental atrocities. Regardless of the state in which we live, Americans hold great power. Make elected officials accountable for responsible spending. Make our communities resilient by supporting the local economy. Be mindful and educated spenders. We, the people, are great. Let’s be better. Debra Brown-Norko Durham

Fasano not running for governor in 2018 By Mike Savino Record-Journal staff
He said he wanted to wait until after the state adopted a budget before making a decision, but he is no longer optimistic an agreement of any kind will be reached before the end of the month. Lawmakers remain at an impasse about how to resolve a projected $5-billion deficit over the current and upcoming fiscal years in a manner that will also garner approval from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano announced last week that he will not run for governor in 2018. Fasano, R-North Haven, 59, urged voters to opt for a Republican governor next year, but said he feels he can better serve Connecticut by remaining in his legislative seat. “I will continue my efforts to build a better future for our state through my work in the state Senate,” Fasano said in a statement he sent to reporters. “I am truly blessed and honored to serve our great state and its people every day and I thank all those who have chosen me to represent their voices in Hartford.” He also said he felt it would be better for his family to opt not to seek the Republi-

The reason all this is going to happen is that the Earth has been favored with a moon that’s just the right size, and just the right distance from us, to just about perfectly block the sun. That is, the sun is 400 times the size of the moon, but it also happens to be 400 times as far away, so the moon will cover the sun but not the sun’s corona, which scientists love to look at.

Willow is just over a year old. She was abandoned, pregnant, in a carboard box. She was a great mother and all her kittens have been adopted. She is ready for a home of her own. Willow is friendly and loves attention. She still plays like a kitten, chasing laser pointers and wand toys. She probably would prefer to be an only cat, but would be okay with a non-aggressive cat.
