Powder Ridge opens synthetic slope for year-round fun By Mark Dionne Town Times
Powder Ridge officially opened its 365 Synthetic Snow Park with a ribbon-cutting on Saturday, Sept. 2 at the base of the mountain’s main slope, long known as the 747. Skiers and snowboarders, many from Powder Ridge’s ski teams, made their way down the new slope, which owners hope will attract skiers year-round to the Middlefield mountain.
“Skiing in the summer! Guys, the park is open!” announced Powder Ridge CEO Sean Hayes standing with Powder Ridge and local officials to cut the ribbon. The synthetic snow is created with a field of plastic squares and thousands of plastic bristles allowing skiers to put an edge into the surface or glide along. A tubing run, serviced by the same carpet surface lift, will be open soon. Ed Hayes, one of the owners, said that synthetic snow was
a “game-changer” in making the park a year-round destination and a success. The synthetic snow is maintained with a water and detergent wash, but otherwise will remain in place even when real snow falls. “It never moves,” Sean Hayes said. The synthetic snow is intended to compliment the winter snow base. “I only need three inches of real snow,” said Hayes, and the season can begin earlier and

Corn maze a nod to flight history Families ventured into the corn maze at Middlefield’s Lyman Orchards on Saturday, Sept. 2 relying on their wits to find their way back out.
The Haynes family: Kerry, Jeff, Hanna, 6, and Jeffery, 3, of Branford, search for the next clue in the kids scavenger hunt at the Lyman Orchards Corn Maze at the Apple Barrel in Middlefield on Sept. 2. | Justin Weekes, For the Record-Journal
Doubleheader starting at 5:35 PM
“The beginning was exciting, but after we had been in there for a little while it’s terrifying,” said Juliet Caulfield, 7, of Simsbury. About 45 minutes after entering the maze, Caulfield came running out of the exit and flopped on the ground,
awash in her newly regained freedom. “Our fearless leader led us out,” Caulfield said, referring to her father, Patrick Caulfield. The Caulfields are regulars at Lyman Orchards and they were sure to make it to the opening of the corn maze on Saturday. The maze will remain open until Nov. 5. While some people were scared by the 2-mile maze, John Lyman, one of the farm’s owners, said the maze is meant to have an educational purpose. Lyman said
this year’s theme was Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic, the first nonstop flight of its kind. “I think the Spirit of St. Louis brought the whole country together,” Lyman said, referring to the plane Lindbergh flew to Paris 90 years ago. The pathways through the maze form an outline of Lindbergh’s face in the corn, with Lyman Orchards written in the winding pathways above him. See Maze, A6

No Durham home for Perk on Main in 2018 and on social media, saying things like “Durham is losing a true gem” and “Durham won’t be the same without Perk.”
Owner Katie Hughes-Nelson has ended her search for a new Durham location for Perk on Main so Durham will lose the popular Main Street restaurant by 2018. “Durham’s not that big. It was pretty easy to cover everything and explore options,” Hughes-Nelson told the Town Times. Hughes-Nelson had to look for a new location after the current landlord refused to renew the lease, citing excessive water use. Hughes-Nelson pursued anything that was open along Main Street, from the empty gas station on the South end to the Carolyn Adams building and the former TD Bank building on the North end, including the hayfield across the street from the current location, but nothing worked. “If you drive down Main Street, there is a lot available, but not to us,” Hughes-Nelson said.
or water issues. According to HughesNeslon, many customers want to blame the local government for the closing and difficulty moving. “I don’t have anything bad to say about the town,” Hughes-Nelson said. “There’s a lot of property
owners with vacant buildings. From a town leadership perspective, maybe if they shared a vision with the property owners for the town maybe it would be a good thing.” Perk on Main customers have been sharing their disappointment both in person

It has mostly been business as usual at Perk on Main in Durham since the announcement that the restaurant was forced to seek a new location. That search ended unsuccessfully. | Mark Dionne, Town Times
According to Hughes-Nelson, there will be no layoffs as a part of the Durham closing, as students leave or reduce hours in the fall and other locations are expected to get busier.

IT’S ALL GOOD
Son’s birthday a tricky time for Mom By Diana Carr Town Times
My son’s birthday is coming up, and nothing shoots me back into the past more than this momentous occasion. Ryan tells me that his birthday is more my celebration than his, because that’s when I acquired him, and he’s right. The same goes for my younger son. I spend the whole day feeling giddy, feeling lucky to be their Mom. I remember well the day I brought my firstborn home from the hospital. His father and I were terrified. He was so little and looked so fragile, and neither of us felt we had any idea what we were doing. We had trouble figuring out how to put on a disposable diaper. I wish I was kidding. And then there were the intangible aspects that haunted me. Would I be a good mother? Would I be able to give him everything he needs? I was entrusted with the care of another soul, and it seemed overwhelming. Please don’t let me mess this up, I begged the Powers-That-Be, more than once.
Then, of course, there were all the “firsts.” Sitting up, crawling, talking, walking. I couldn’t have been more thrilled than if I had won
the lottery. Well, actually being a mother was, and still is, my version of winning the lottery. I was a bit disappointed, however, when my little darling first uttered “Dada” instead of “Mama,” especially since I was the one up nights with him. I felt a little slighted. But then I heard that “Ds” are easier for babies to say than “Ms.” Okay, I could go along with that. There were lots of “firsts” along the way, of course. Like their first day of school. Seriously, I thought it would kill me. I had stayed home with my boys, and had hardly been away from them for more than a nanosecond, and I was plagued with fears for their well-being. Would the teacher smile favorably upon my boy? Would
Braces Made Me Smile!
the other kids be nice to him? Would he miss me too much? Would he be scared? This was big. But what was even bigger, far down the road, was when he got his first girlfriend. That’s when I knew that my baby boy was starting to inch toward adulthood, and away from me, and it was an odd feeling. It hit me like a ton of bricks. He would not be my baby boy forever. I had hoped that he would be. Now he lives in Sweden and is married, and a father. I’m still shocked by it all. When I was raising him, time seemed to move along at the expected pace. But now
it feels like it was all just the blink of an eye. On Sept. 15, I will celebrate my son’s birthday, in my heart. On Dec. 17, I will celebrate my younger son’s birthday, in my heart. On those days, I will offer up to the heavens a fervent thank-you for the love and the joy and the growth they have brought me. Most parents will tell you that they never knew what love was until they had children. It’s so true.

I’m happy to report that we did figure out the diaper thing. And within a few days I felt like I had been
doing the Mom thing all my life. Which didn’t mean that I didn’t worry. Excessively. I would check on him a gazillion times when he was sleeping, to make sure he was still breathing. And one night I got up, still halfasleep, wandered out into the living room, looking for my baby, whom I thought I had left somewhere. My then-husband assured me that I hadn’t. I remember being afraid that, not being used to having a baby, I would leave home without him. I am also happy to report that I didn’t do that. Being a mother is the kind of thing that sticks with you.

Some of the inspiration for this year’s theme came from Connecticut’s influence on the modern aeronautical industry, with major manufacturers headquartered in the state. At each of the maze’s
crossroads there is a question about Lindbergh’s flight or aeronautics. The right answer will put one on the path to the exit, while wrong answers will leave them wandering to dead ends.

“A dollar doesn’t sound like a lot, but look what it accumulates,” said Deb McKenzie, a Wallingford resident who volunteers with the Hamden and North Haven Relay for Life. In the 17 years the corn maze has been running, it has raised nearly $540,000 for the American Cancer Society. ““I took care of patients with cancer,” said McKenzie, a retired nurse. “I had family members who suffered and have been lost to cancer.” “I feel very committed to the relay,” she said. “It supports our mission to save lives,” said Lynn Kip-

As for the maze, she said it wasn’t too much of a challenge. She knew a lot of the answers to the questions already from school.

J.C. FARM & GREENHOUSES
After a hospitalization following complications from triple-bypass surgery, Edwin Stewart of Wallingford came to Masonicare Health Center. Ten days of inpatient rehabilitation helped him get back on his feet and ready to return home. “It was like a breath of fresh air,” Ed says. “The whole team is a step above the rest. It’s like a family.” His advice to anyone needing rehabilitation following surgery or a hospitalization: “Visit other places first, then go to Masonicare.”

60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Frederick and Marjorie Ann (Northrup) Dahlmeyer were married 60 years ago at The Church of the Little Flower Catholic Church, Hollywood, Fla., on Aug. 30, 1957. They celebrated at Anthony’s in Guilford with family and friends. The party was enjoyed by many close relatives and good friends; some coming from states as far as New Hampshire and Florida. Celebrating with their parents was their five children, Frederick Dahlmeyer, Jr., Debra DeFelice and her husband, Frank, Jeanne Koerber and her husband, Steve, Sharon Giovannitti and her husband, Joseph, and Diane White and her husband, William. Also in attendance was Fred and Marge’s six grandchildren, Christine Dahlmeyer, Rachel Dahlmeyer, Sharon Czako, Lauren Paski, Stephen Koerber, and Angela Koerber; five great-grandchildren, Kayla Dahlmeyer, Adam Dahlmeyer, Nicholas Dahlmeyer, Emma Paski, Ethan Paski, and their newest great-granddaughter arriving soon. Fred is a retired accountant, registered land surveyor, and attorney. He is also retired from the U.S. Army. Marjorie was the owner of West View Kennels in Durham.
The slope has generated a lot of interest. According to Hayes, other ski teams have visited the slope to investigate. Skiers noticed the difference but gave the slope positive reviews. “It’s hard but it’s fun,” said Reiley Pascale of Middlefield. Pascale has been skiing since she was 2 and competes on Powder Ridge’s ski team. Pascale made wider turns than usual but expects to get faster on the synthetic snow with practice. That was not the only difference she noticed. “It makes a weird sound,” she said of the shuffling noise that the synthetic snow produces instead of the expected “shush” of skis on snow. Cal Gibson, a 12 year old from Essex and a member of Powder Ridge’s snowboard team, was the first snowboarder down the slope. “It’s good. You can get pretty fast which is good,” said Gibson, who plans to return to the slope and hopes the mountain adds more features like jumps and rails. The 365 Synthetic Snow Park so far has two ramps, a bench and a rail as features. On opening day, the skiers were getting a feel for the surface and very few fell. Long pants, long sleeves, gloves, and helmets are required and knee and elbow
Cutting the ribbon on the 365 Synthetic Snow Park are, from left, Chamber of Commerce President Larry McHugh, Middlefield First Selectman Ed Bailey, Selectman Jon Brayshaw, Powder Ridge co-owner Ed Hayes, Powder Ridge owner and CEO Sean Hayes, state Sen. Len Suzio, and summertime Santa. | Mark Dionne, Town Times
pads are recommended.
are also open year-round.
If the product is accepted, Hayes has a two-year plan to extend the 90-foot wide trail to the top of the mountain for a 2,500-foot long trail. If that happens, “We’ll be the longest synthetic ski area in the world.”
Jon Brayshaw, who was first selectman during much of the Powder Ridge ownership struggles, said the event reminded him of his thoughts when the park closed eight years ago. “We can’t lose this,” Brayshaw remembered thinking, “It’s too valuable.”
Year-round activities make Powder Ridge less dependent on the fickleness of Connecticut winters. The park currently has 14 groomed trails for mountain biking and offers mountain biking with lift service. Powder Ridge has also gotten into the obstacle course craze. The park has course racing with permanent obstacles built, and has hosted the Fit Challenge with 600 racers. The Fire at the Ridge and Ridgeside Tavern restaurants
Hayes made a passing reference to the past controversies of the town buying and selling the park to retain it as a ski area when he thanked the Chamber of Commerce and town officials for their support “when it got a little hairy.” First Selectman Ed Bailey, Middlesex Chamber of Commerce President Larry McHugh, and state Sen. Len Suzio were also on hand to celebrate the opening.

The thought of adding more financial strain to taxpayers with more children entering District 13 is incomprehensible. To think that it may only add “nine children” cannot be realistic. With the proposal of seven, three-bedroom units, that could add an additional four children per unit to the school system right there, never mind the two-bedroom units which would add, of course, even more. Setting the taxes and the school system aside, what about traffic, drugs, and the undesirables it could potentially bring into this area.
