Dog training facility rankles neighbors
Residents approve several measures
By Lauren Takores Town Times
Neighbors are unhappy about a dog training facility that opened in April near their homes. Town zoning regulations allow the facility, Integrity K9 Training, which specializes in training canines to compete in a sport called “IPO.”
By Lauren Takores Town Times
Durham voters approved by town meeting Monday the transfer of funds for Town Hall repairs and two ordinances regarding charitable games. All items passed unanimously.
The owners are up to date on licenses and are members of professional organizations. However, town officials who approved the plan should have considered the nature of the facility, said Meghan Glomb, of 58 Dunn Hill Road. “It’s not an appropriate place for that business,” she said July 6.
Residents voted to transfer up to $33,000 from the reserve fund to the Capital Improvement Projects Buildings fund for repairs to Town Hall.
Integrity operated in a Wallingford warehouse for about a year and moved to Durham in late March. Glomb said one day in April, she heard incessant barking behind her house that continued all month. Integrity had moved onto 361 Wallingford Road, a property bordering

COMMENTARY
Sale of cows marks end of a family era When I was planning to write last week’s column about Greenbackers Farm selling their herd of 220 cows and going out of the dairy business, I texted my long grown children to send

Son Greg wrote: Brian and I used to hang around the barn when I was 12 and he was 13. The men there put us to work mucking out the steer barn. One day someone made a sudden move that spooked one of the young steers and it jumped over the three foot pile of manure we had shoveled to the center of the shed. We must have been hanging around the barn long enough to figure out to wear boots when slogging around out back through manure because we were all wearing boots another day. After we mucked out the stalls and put it in the spreader at the top of a concrete ramp, we started jumping off the end of the ramp. The challenge was to jump far enough out
to avoid a large puddle of dark water full of manure that had missed the wagon. Brian made a bad jump and trying to avoid the puddle landed feet first in a pile of manure almost to the top of his boots. We laughed but that ended the game. (Brian says one of his boots came off trying to pull it out of the manure, sucked right off his foot like quicksand! He had to pull the boot out of the muck and hose the manure off it and his pants.)

Son Brian recalls seeing new calves and kittens born, watching the milking process from start to finish, seeing fields prepped for planting and the smell of the freshly fertilized fields (with cow manure.) Later in summer he liked watching the fields of eight foot high cornstalks being cut down for winter silage and the smell of the freshly cut hay he saw being baled. (When our daughter Peg was about five, she came home crying that big brother Kevin had been baled up when he was just hiding from her behind a bale.) Brian also remem-

grain and opened at the floor of the barn to feed the cows,” she said. She remembers they had equipment that the milk ran through to pasteurize and homogenize it. They bottled the milk and made the ice cream across the street. The other half of the building was a little restaurant where they made the food and sold the ice cream. “Brian’s friend Nancy Greenbacker sometimes brought us there for free ice cream,” she recalls. Peg also said “we went sliding on the hill but there was barbed wire at the bottom with only a small path for the tractors and cows. If we tobogganed down and couldn’t steer into the path, we had to bail out. We did that a lot.”
21 flavors of ice cream, a banana, chocolate sauce and whipped cream all in one sitting, Kevin remembers watching the veterinarian change the birthing position of a calf being born wearing a big rubber glove up to his shoulder. Greg again: “One very hot late summer day, a friend and I cut through the corn field to get to the dairy store. The corn was tall and pollen was falling like snow and sticking to our sweaty skin. We both ended up with allergic reactions to all that pollen. Our eyes were itchy and his arms were rashy and swollen. When we got to his house, his mother put cold washcloths on his arms and

“Another time we were passing behind the steer shed. It was hot and we could hear them mooing and acting restless. As we approached the shed, one of the steers butted against the corrugated metal siding and smashed his head right through. He was in a penned stall so just poked his head out to get some fresh air and let us know he was there.” Such are one family’s memories that the end of a farm’s era evokes.

I’m ready for an adventure (maybe) I have never been brave, but I have always wanted to be. And toward that end, I have made the firm commitment, on and off throughout the years, to just “go for it,” to take the bull by the horns, to live life to the fullest, to put down the remote and get off the couch and do something brave. Well, it turns out that that commitment has not been all that firm, and has been more off than on. I always seem to wimp out. Take, for instance, the decision I made years ago to give myself a strong dose of courage, as a birthday present to myself, by sailing through the skies in a hot air balloon. I thought it would be a big step in shoving me
sumably to bid a bittersweet farewell to summer before it morphs into fall.
out of my all-too-small comfort zone. It would definitely take the shackles off. So I talked my friend and her husband into joining me on this adventure. Five times we showed up at the appointed hour for lift-off, and five times we were sent home because the wind was not right, or at all. And five times I was relieved. Oh, I would have made my-
self do it alright, because I would not have wanted to back out on my friends, and on myself, but I had not been prepared for how teensy weensy that basket looked, the basket that was going to hurl me through space. So I was relieved when it was a no-go. But, fingers crossed, I think the tide may be ready to turn. I have the good fortune to be working for wonderful people who take their employees on some kind of fun outing every August, pre-
I started this job last September, so this will be my first outing. Ideas are being bandied about regarding the form it might take. One suggestion was an escape room. From what I gather, participants look for clues that will lead them to the key that opens the locked door. Not to be a wet blanket, but I quickly informed my friends that they would have to do this one without me. The claustrophobia I tout would not make this a pleasant experience for me or for them. I cannot be locked in. Next came the suggestion for a fishing trip. Oh no, now I really am starting to sound like a wet blanket, the squasher of all things deemed fun. I would have to

sit this one out, too, and they would be glad I did, because I would be wailing the whole time, “Put them back, put them back! They’re dying!” Trust me, no one wants me tagging along on a fishing trip. The ideas continue to be bounced around. I’m asked if I would be up for a game of laser tag. Well, yes I would. I thought I remembered my boys playing that, when they were teens. My younger son said it was paintball that they had played, which can result in a fair amount of pain when one is “hit,” but laser tag does not hurt one bit. I love not getting hurt one bit! Zip lining was tossed into the air. I have always promised myself I would do that, but I have always broken that promise. I thought the experience would bring out the adventurer in me, but I’m not a lover of heights, so this one just floated on by, too. Perhaps this is the time to make good on that promise, though. I will be brave (somewhat), I think, in the company of my friends. Well, I say that now, while I am still on terra firma! Somebody suggested gocarts. I’ve never been in a go-cart, but I think it would be great fun to zip along and See Carr, A16

Market From A1
“Every week we get some more vendors,” Kellarson added. “We want to fill up everything here.” “It’s been pretty successful, I’d say,” said Alfonso Caturano, who staffed the table for JC Farm in Durham, selling cherries, corn and produce grown just a few miles away. “You don’t get a lot of places with stuff that was just picked.” He credited the turnout with the variety of vendors around his tent, including a cupcake truck and jewelry tables, and the other activities Powder Ridge offers visitors, such as water tubing and mountain biking. “There’s a lot of stuff to do.” “I really came for the crafts and there’s a diverse selection,” said Guilford resident Tamar Birckhead, who visited the market with her daughter Camille Birckhead. “It’s great to have a fair like this at the base of a beautiful mountain.” David Cyr has been selling his handmade birdhouses, benches and chairs since the market started up earlier this summer.

Zane Spiller, of Milford, finds some cherries Sunday during the Mountainside Market at Powder Ridge Mountain Park and Resort.
“Today is the first time there’s been a lot of vendors like this,” he said. “I think it’s great, it’s a nice atmosphere.” A visitor from Texas stopped by Cyr’s tent. “There’s just a good mixture for different hobbies,” said Carla Newell, of San Antonio.
There’s a strong market for crafted goods, Cyr said, adding that as the market attracts more diverse vendors he expects more customers will follow. “I think people are addicted to this stuff,” he said. dleithyessian@record-journal.com 203-317-2317 Twitter: @leith_yessian

her house. “That’s how we were alerted that there was something going on,” Glomb said. Glomb said she complained to town Animal Control Officer April Leiler. Leiler said Monday she visited the property in April and found several dogs, which surprised her. “I knew that property had sold, but I wasn’t aware that it had been sold to someone with lots and lots of dogs,” she said. Dog facility Integrity owner Samantha Smith and trainer David Caruso live on the 7.65-acre property, which boasts a raised ranch house, pool, gazebo and outbuilding they’ve turned into an indoor training area. Nearly an acre of land is lined with 6-foot-high chain link fencing for outdoor training. Ten outdoor kennels hold one dog each. Smith said she has about 20 dogs on the property currently, both German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois. “Do they bark? Absolutely,” Smith said. “Do they bark for extended periods of time? No they don’t … We have to teach them to bark for the sport aspect.” IPO stands for Internationale Prüfungsordnung, German for international trial rules.

Sport and service IPO has local, regional, national and worldwide trials. Dogs of Smith’s have competed nationally. “These dogs are loyal, they’re determined,” Smith said. “It is pretty incredible to watch what they do.” Obedience trials, Caruso said, are 80 percent of IPO testing, including heeling, retrieving and jumping. They plan to use the town open spaces and hay fields to practice tracking. “Come trial time, that’s what you usually track on,” Caruso said. “Nine out of 10 times, it’s hay fields.” Protection includes defense and attacking components. “That bite component is there, but obviously it’s not willy-nilly” Smith said. Dog trainers protect themselves with bite sleeves made of jute. Smith said she’s beginning a breeding program. “We keep most of the puppies in order to train them” for sport, police or service See Dog, A10

Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site plan review application, dated March 27, states she applied for a "commercial kennel/training facility." Because kennels are a permitted right, Colegrove said, the application did not go before the Planning and Zoning Commission, and there was no public hearing or published notice. A legal opinion prepared by town zoning attorney Steven Byrne, which was requested by the town and issued recently, states â&#x20AC;&#x153;some level of dog trainingâ&#x20AC;? is an allowed use on the property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether or not the scope and intensity of training â&#x20AC;Ś exceeds the training commonly associated with commercial kennels requires further investigation,â&#x20AC;? Byrne wrote. Noise and safety
â&#x20AC;&#x153;That business, we do not feel fits into agriculture at all,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding she feels the use falls under home occupation zoning regulations, which require neighbor notification.
Neighbors are unsatisfied with the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to noise and safety concerns, Glomb said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We mis-stepped majorly and the town just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to care,â&#x20AC;? she said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The noise is obnoxious,â&#x20AC;?
Under Durham town code, barking dogs are a public nuisance, 24 hours a day.

Glomb said. “It got better after the neighbors got louder and more complaints went to the town.” The next step would be to figure out a way to empirically measure noise coming from the property, Colegrove said. Glomb said she’d be satis-

He is fully recovered and ready to go to his new home. He is loving and affectionate and likes to be held and cuddled. He would be best placed in a home with children 8 or older, because he may try and sneak outside.

Carr From A4
not worry about a speeding ticket. (If any police officer is reading this, I never zip along on the roads. Never. Really.) Someone suggested a boat ride on the Connecticut River. (That might have been me.) No courage required. Just sitting there. And I am very good at that. So I am excited about the upcoming outing. Because today, in this moment, I am feeling brave. I hope it lasts.
