On Tuesday, June 2, voters in Durham and Middlefield will be asked to consider the 2015-2016 school budget for RSD13 for a second time. The budget up for referendum has a net figure of $35,604,297, or a 1.21 percent increase over the current year. A budget with a 2.21 percent increase was defeated 565-535, a 30-vote margin, on May 5. At the following Board of Education meeting, members voted to accept Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Veronesi’s suggested cuts of $350,400. Those cuts were made by underfunding the salary line because various leaves of absence mean it is never spent to 100 percent, eliminating a proposed human resources position at Central Office, cutting $89,000 by
delaying capital projects, and taking off $3,400 of expenses intended for the solar panel project rejected by voters. There will be only one question on the June 2 ballot – accepting or rejecting the budget. The May 5 ballot contained three questions. Voters accepted the expense to replace Brewster’s leaky roof but voted down the solar panel project for the same roof. Energy savings from solar power and revenue generated from the sale of the solar project’s energy credits were linked in BOE discussions as a method of paying for the roof replacement. At the BOE’s May 13 meeting, BOE chair Kerrie Flanagan said that out of respect for the referendum voters, the timing with state funding, and the See Budget / Page 10
Board of Education to discuss closing Korn in 2016 By Mark Dionne Town Times
17760-02
SPECIAL EVENT
The Utilization Committee, which is the body of the Board of Education studying school reconfiguration and possible closings, plans to recommend a future configuration for RSD13 of: two K-5 elementary schools, one 6-8 grade middle school
and one high school. The committee will soon recommend “phasing in” that framework, including potentially closing Korn Elementary School at the end of the 2015-2016 school year. “That recommendation makes sense in terms of student enrollment,” Utilization Committee chair Bob Fulton told the BOE at its May
13 meeting. While the number of students might make sense after the next school year, the BOE will also need to review the impact on education, Fulton said. BOE chair Kerrie Flanagan is gathering feedback on the committee’s draft report, which has not been made public. Flanagan said that the report is a summary of “those things that

have affected our thinking.” BOE members expressed concern at the May 13 meeting about the best way to present the report and the idea to the public and was to discuss the report and how to present the idea to the public at the May 27 meeting. According to Fulton, in addition to See Korn / Page 11

The Roadside Management Task Force was charged with researching ways the town could reduce or eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals while controlling roadside weeds along roadsides, sight-lines and guardrails. After the task force’s presentation at the Board of Selectmen’s meeting on May 11, Durham First Selectmen Laura Francis endorsed eliminating the town’s use of Roundup to control weeds and poison ivy as a step towards safer management. Roundup is the brand name of a weed control product containing glyphosate. The World Health Organization categorizes glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.� According to the Roadside Management Task Force presentation, the Environmental
Protection Agency and the American Cancer Society have also expressed concern about glyphosate or made attempts to restrict or ban it. State Sen. Ted Kennedy Jr., who represents part of Durham, is interested in banning Roundup on school grounds and public spaces. “Why not Durham?� asked one screen of the Power Point presentation. “I think we have a real opportunity to lead and I’d like to see us do that,� said Michael Bisceglia, chair of the task force. The task force proposed a plan to extend the aggressive weed management used on the Town Green and at Allyn Brook Park, meaning weed-whacking, hand pulling, and mulching. The task force also suggested plantings of ground cover such as milkweed, sedge, clover, and native grasses. As a last resort, the task

force recommended switching to an organic, glyphosate-free product called BurnOut where needed. The selectmen, members of the task force, and Public Works Foreman Kurt Bober discussed potential implications of the switch, such as man hours and alternatives. Bober said he endorsed the switch away from Roundup and would like to try other products. Although BurnOut was not demonstrably more expensive, cost was discussed. “We all want to save money ... but the long term effects outweigh the costs,� said task force member Joanne Nytch. “The health and welfare of our children and community are worth the cost.� Francis said, “I think by switching, that’s something we can do overnight. I’d like to see us get to the next step.� The town’s switch does not eliminate local use of glyphosate and other chemicals. Utility companies and private land owners use their own weed management techniques, including chemical control.

Glyphosate is a primary ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup. This weed-killer has caused cancer in laboratory animals and shows potential to cause non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and lung cancer in humans, according to recent studies. Following the lead of the WHO, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently announced its own intention to restrict the use of glyphosate. Also, this month, several new studies have been released linking pesticides to “colony collapse disorder,” the phenomenon that has caused a worldwide drop in bee populations. A recent editorial called on governments and the public to adopt new technologies that will help reverse this dangerous trend. Bee pollination is necessary for the production of nearly one-third of crops grown in the United States. Without pollination, this country stands to see a serious food shortage and billions of dollars in financial losses. Many bees are unable to avoid consuming food contaminated with pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids, and some actually seem attracted to it. According to researchers at Newcastle University and Trinity College in Dublin, bumblebees seem more likely to consume pesticides, and may even be addicted to them. Evidence clearly points to pesticides causing numerous health and environmental problems around the globe. We need to revise the way we think about pesticides and begin to reduce our use of these toxic chemicals. Many Connecticut communities have ended their use of pesticides entirely, and I believe that, as a state, we must take steps in that direction as well.
Memories come streaming back
I’m in love with these mellow spring days. Aren’t we all? And sitting by my stream with a good book and a cup of tea especially delights me, from stem to stern. It brings me peace like few other things do. Woods before me and to the side of me. A plethora of fragrant wildflowers. Birds calling out to each other. Dragonflies and ladybugs and butterflies and bees (who have promised not to sting me) flitting about. The hypnotic sound of the rushing water. Sometimes a blue heron pops in. One time a frog sat so close to me I could almost reach out and touch him, and he stayed there for the couple of hours I was there. By the time I got up I thought of him as a dear friend. Yes, this spot is my own personal paradise, and I could happily spend the rest of my days rooted to it. I owe this stream a lot. Not only does it provide me with a sanctuary, but it provided my two sons with endless pleasure when they were growing up. They would spend long summer days catching water spiders and frogs, and then releasing them. They would see how many fish they could spot. Sometimes the three of us would wade in and walk its length into the woods. And then there was the white water rafting. The stream, in response to some surly weather, would puff up to about three times its size and become wild, and my boys would ride it on their The writer represents Con- inflatable turtle. necticut’s 12th Senate District. When we had a great deal
of rain, the stream spilled out into the yard, sometimes seeing fit to grab hold of anything it could get. Over the years it took a grill, a chair, a small table, and Jordan’s boots. I think it swallowed them whole, because we never saw them again. Except the boots, which we found in the stream when we were walking on the road behind our house one day. I guess it had no need for boots. Actually, I don’t know what it would do with a grill, a chair, and a table, either. I always loved reading by my stream, so one summer Jordan decided to take this a step further. He put a big piece of plywood across it and moved my chair and my end table onto it, so that I could sit there with the water rushing all around me. It was awesome! One of my favorite memories, though, is when Jordan took it into his head to sail the Seven Seas, using, unbeknownst to me, a drawer from my bureau. His starting point was the stream. Or it would have been if the drawer had not decided to sink right there on the spot, and then fall apart. I did admire the spirit of the whole thing, though. I could just envision a little towheaded boy sailing down the stream in a drawer, like something out of Winnie the Pooh. Yes, this stream has given me much. It not only brings me daily delights, but it is also the keeper of my stories. And rejoining it in the spring is what I waited the whole winter for. It’s good to be back!

Korn the four-school recommendation, the report will “provide a historical framework” for the declining enrollment. Two demographic studies have predicted a student decline of 4 to 6 percent per year. Most immediately, the report will recommend the Korn school closure. The declining enrollment first impacts the lower grades and then moves up through the grades. “We’ve got this elementary school decline while everything else is going on,” said Fulton, who added that the plan to close Korn after 2015-2016 would work even if the predicted enrollment was off by as many as 40 students in 2016-2017. These recommendations have come in consultation with Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Veronesi and the administrative team, according to Fulton. The district hired design

and planning firm Drummey Rosane Anderson Inc. to evaluate the usage of the six school buildings in the face of declining enrollment. The time line presented in the DRA report presented planning into 2018, construction between 2018-2021 and a “Move In and Open” date of Sept. 2021. The “phasing in” approach accelerates parts of that time line. Converting to a four-school structure would close two buildings. Of the DRA report’s four recommended options, the plan called “Option C3” suggests converting to that four-school framework by closing Korn and John Lyman Elementary School. When the DRA report was presented, BOE members made a point of emphasizing that the report was not the final opinion of the BOE. Medically supervised

Wayne Hubbard lined a shot to right center, scoring Harrison. The rally was squelched by a double play, leading to another run. Evers completed the scoring with a single to drive in Carr. Matty’s banged out 26 hits and had nine walks. Evers and Ackerman each went 4-for-5. Burt, Dynia, Lema and Carr each had three hits. Dynia had five runs batted in, with Burt and Ackerman getting four each. Judson scored four times, as Evers and Ackerman crossed the plate three times apiece. Bob Edwards was the hard luck losing pitcher; he started strong but lost control in the fourth, yielding to Hubbard. “It looked like we should have gotten a win here, but it just wasn’t our day,� said field manager George Miller. “We tried to fight back. We just gave them too many opportunities to score.� After the Memorial Day break, Matty’s returns to action with a game against Lyons on Monday, June 1 at Vinal Tech Field on Randolph Road in Middletown. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. The team then travels to the “Brickyard� in Higganum on Sunday, June 7 for a 9 a.m. contest.
