BRAVING THE BITTER COLD FOR SOME WINTER FUN
Substance abuse support group started in Middlefield By Lauren Takores Town Times
There’s a new support group for families and loved ones affected by substance abuse and addiction. Hope and Support Group is sponsored by Durham-Middlefield Youth and Family Services and facilitated by TriCircle, Inc., a Wallingford-based nonprofit that provides resources for people and families affected by substance abuse and addiction. Betsy Dean, DMYFS executive director, said the agency hosted a seminar on opioids with medical professionals, police and people in recovery. She said the discussion after the meeting revealed a “lack of support groups in our area for family and friends of those in recovery.” “They need the support, too,” she added.

PZC approves food truck location By Lauren Takores Town Times
A local food truck can continue to operate, but the owner needs to submit an updated site map to the Planning and Zoning Commission. On Wednesday, Jan. 3 the commission unanimously approved an application for A view of the new Perk on Wheels, set up for a non-conforming use permit by Katie Hughes-Nelson, business across from the old location of owner of food truck Perk on Perk on Main, in Durham.

of crepes and coffee while parked in front of DariServ, 13 Main St., in Durham. It began operating at the site on Dec. 26, 2017 shortly after it closed its storefront location. Hughes-Nelson said she and property owner Bob Pavlick agreed she can use the location until the ice cream shop opens for the season, a date which is dependent on the weather. See Perk, A12
Hope and Support Group began meeting in October after TriCircle approached them in late August. The group is the first of its kind in Middlefield, Dean said, adding to the list of services DMYFS provides on prevention and community awareness. “We do a lot of work in the community around prescription drugs, proper disposal, talking to physicians about prescriptions,” Dean said. The agency is able to refer people to other organizations for help with substance abuse and addiction issues, but for families and friends, the support group meets a need that hasn’t been addressed. Two trained facilitators, a licensed professional and a paraprofessional with lived experience, lead the group, according to a news release from TriCircle. “Having someone in your life or family struggling with the disease of addiction See Group, A2

“Often the stigma and isolation caused by the disease is just as detrimental as the disease itself,” she said. “Our Hope and Support Group can help families and other loved ones break the isolation and stigma by providing a safe place to openly share and support each other.” Group attendance has been small as word-of-mouth has
spread. People who attended are seeking their place within the relationship with their loved one struggling with substance abuse, Gopoian said. They work on self-care, setting boundaries and reestablishing trust with their loved ones. They’re also learning that they’re only responsible for themselves. “When the parent, guardian or loved one changes, there’s a good chance the loved one will change,” she said. TriCircle is working on opening an office in Yalesville. Gopoian said

Police hunt Durham robbery suspect By Lauren Takores Town Times
A3
Coginchaug Soccer Club taking registration for spring club Coginchaug Soccer Club is accepting 2018 spring registration at coginchaugsoccer.org. A fee is charged.
Police have released a photo of the suspect in a Durham gas station robbery early Sunday.
The club offers a kindergarten through second grade clinic, run by the technical training staff, with the help of parent volunteers. The club also offers Pre-K to U19 teams (open to all non-high school students born between Jan. 1, 1999 to Dec. 31, 2013).
State police responded to a reported robbery at Valero gas station, 384 Main St., at about 7:24 a.m., according to a news release.
Coginchaug Soccer Club monthly meetings are scheduled for the first Sunday of each month, 7 p.m., at the Middlefield Community Center. All prospective travel coaches, as well as anyone helping with the club in any capacity, should attend.
The suspect, who was armed with a knife, is described as a while male, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, husky build, with a salt and pepper beard and mustache.
For more information, visit coginchaugsoccer@ gmail.com.
Approximately $130 in bills, $20 in pennies and five packs of cigarettes were taken.
On Dec. 27, 2017, a man robbed Krauszer’s Food Store, 459 Madison Road. The suspect left with an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes.
It’s unclear whether Sunday’s robbery is related to the robberies on Dec. 27. "All resources are currently being utilized to capture this menace to society” said Selectman John Szewczyk, who
is acting first selectman while Laura Francis is on vacation. “We will not tolerate individuals putting our pub-

Animal shelter’s cold weather care advice The Animal Haven, Inc,, one of the oldest private, no-kill animal shelters serving Connecticut, alerts pet owners to the danger that subfreezing weather poses and encourages following these safety tips: All pets should live inside during prolonged subfreezing weather. Short haired pets should never live outside; they have no insulation. Some long haired pets (with double coats) have the ability to exist in the cold weather. They need a protected, dry, wind-free environment, off the ground, with clean, dry bedding. Cold weather is generally dry weather, so there should be plenty of unfrozen water available, ideally in a plastic or porcelain bowl (tongues may stick to metal). Proper nutrition is critical. According to the American

Pet parents are encouraged to talk to their veterinarian about their pets' nutritional needs for successfully coping in cold weather.
Examine and wipe your pets' feet after walking outside in the cold. Snow can build up, pads can be injured, and ice melt chemicals can be ingested by pets cleaning their own feet.

Grab a shovel, Pollyanna As I write this, we are smack dab in the middle, or the beginning, I guess, of a humdinger of a snowstorm. And it is not to my liking. Oh, I started this winter with a good enough attitude. I have fearlessly trudged through the snow and the cold, keeping my chin up, thinking of it all as a grand adventure. This is New England after all, with all its many moods, and we hearty folks can take it, frigid temps and all.
The worst of it is the dire predictions of power outages, due to the hurricaneforce winds. Oh please, do not say power outages. I know I say this every year, Those days without power but every year I mean it. that we had a few years ago, These Nor’easters really ruined me. Now lights mereI’ve had a laissez-faire attiscare me. And the meteorol- ly blinking on and off can tude about it all. Let it be. ogists do nothing to calm me put me into a tailspin. So I Don’t whine and wail about down.

I am not of an intrepid nature to begin with, and preNor ’easter and Nor’easter times are fraught with triggers. My terror – and that’s not too strong a word – gets underway when the meteorologist cuts into my shows with his doom and gloom. If I wanted doom and gloom, I would not be sitting there yucking it up over sitcoms. And nearly every channel has a list of the closings for the next day. Oh, that can’t be a good sign. The whole state is going into hibernation. I fervently look for a channel that does not list the closings, so that I can go into a state of denial, which I enjoy very much. I try to put the entire upcoming debacle out of my mind – I figure I will just not get my knickers in a

knot and I will deal with everything when it comes – and then Eversource calls, with a recording about the expected power outages, and warning us to stay safe. And then the Director of Emergency Services calls, again with a recording. I do not care for the word “emergenc y,” and these calls, although meant to be helpful, are really jangling my nerves. Just a little while ago I mustered up enough courage to turn on the TV and get a weather report. I was hoping they would tell me that this is not going to be as bad as they had predicted, and that it will end soon. They said no such thing. They whipped out those scary words again. And they showed pictures of swirling colors, which would have been lovely save for the fact that those pretty colors do not bode well for us. The reds seem especially ominous. Well, I’ve got to go out to feed the birds now, and I am not looking forward to it. I’ve been putting it off, but my conscience is pulling on me right now, because I know those little darlings don’t have a speck of food to eat until I bring them their breakfast. And this afternoon, of course, I will be shoveling, and Pollyanna will be just a dim memory. Shoveling snow is a tedious affair for me, because I hate it so. I will stick with it for 15 minutes, then come in and watch TV for an hour. This is going to take a while. So Pollyanna, if you’re within earshot, please don’t wander too far off. Life is so much nicer when you are around. Maybe you’re buried under a foot of snow. Or maybe you hightailed it out of here to bask on some Caribbean island. And who could blame you? But if that is the case, please take the next flight out. We need you.

Perk From A1
“We’re hoping that it allows us to maintain a presence in Durham,” Hughes told commission members. Perk has brick-and-mortar locations in Middletown and Guilford. Commission members had to determine whether it was an expansion or an intensification of a non-conforming use; intensification is permitted, expansion is not. “As long as this facility was not open the same time as the DariServ was open, it would not be considered expansion, it would be considered an intensification,” PZC
Covering Central Connecticut since 1867
chairman Richard Eriksen said. PZC members raised concerns about approving a permit for a food truck, citing past problems with food trucks that didn’t apply for permits and caused unanticipated traffic and safety issues. “It sets a precedent that could really come back and bite us,” David Foley said. PZC member Matthew Thompson said it could allow property owners to “sublet, so to speak.”

As part of the permit approval, Hughes-Nelson must submit an updated site map showing where the truck will be parked, its size, and other information. LTakores@record-journal.com 203-317-2212 Twitter: @LCTakores
