School district’s financial rating placed on negative outlook list By Lauren Takores, Record-Journal staff
Moody’s Investors Service assigned a negative financial outlook last week to Regional School District 13, citing Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s executive order affecting municipal aid.

Durham teen starts charity to fight hunger By Mark Dionne Town Times
Kaitlyn Leahy of Durham hopes Heart over Hunger, a t-shirt business she launched in early October, will help in the fight against hunger. Leahy, a junior at Mercy High School in Middletown, said, “I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I knew I wanted to help because I realized that I’m very fortunate. Once you realize that there are problems out there and so many people don’t get enough food to live a healthy lifestyle, I knew I
wanted to help.” Launched with a website and on social media, Heart over Hunger sells originally-designed t-shirts, with the profits going to Amazing Grace food pantry in Middletown. If things go well, Leahy hopes to expand the donations to more food pantries. The design was Leahy’s idea and features a colorful field of flowers over a world map. The map refers to hunger as a global issue, and the flowers, according to Leahy, sigSee Charity, A7

Blue Devils seize the moment, best Lewis Mills By Erik Becker
challenges to us on both sides of the ball.
On Saturday, under an azure October sky, the Coginchaug Hale-Ray football team came of age against a very tenacious Lewis Mills team, prevailing 28-6 to improve to 3-3 on the season.
Our team took the field, proudly carrying the Stars and Stripes in front of our packed home field. The band began to play. The moment was beautiful. The moment was ours.
The Lewis Mills Spartans, led by the versatile and dangerous Chris Romano, presented a number of
We had prepared all week to stop the Spartans dynamic offensive attack, led by one of the Pequot’s best players in Romano.
Coach Peter Ladas, our brilliant defensive coordinator, had devised an ingenious plan for neutralizing Romano and stopping their offense in its tracks. Our defense, led by captains Pat Ladas, Kevin Cross, Anthony Curry and David Skelps, played inspired football. The boys on defense played with great physicality and flew to the See Football, A12

YOUTH SPORTS: Falcons run into Cromwell buzz-saw By Tom Brady
This was a very special Sunday for the Falcons A squad. This was the last game that senior A squad players and cheerleaders would walk onto the home field as Falcons. Some athletes will move on to Coginchaug, others will move on to other high schools and may even face each other in years to come. These eighth grade athletes have been together for many years, several starting in elementary school five-plus years ago. There is a commitment and

Every year, practice starts the first blistering week of August; two hours a day and five days a week in the unforgiving heat and humidity. Practices and games continue as the cold rain and, sometimes, snow soak through their uniforms and into chilled bones.

Locals lend a hand in hurricane-ravaged Florida Lisa Davenport, designer and Principal of Lisa Davenport Designs (LDD), along with Joe, her husband/business partner, recently returned from assisting with the hurricane relief effort in southwest Florida. The Durham residents’ mission not only was to deliver a trailer full of much needed donations collected by Doug and Teri Walsh of Rocky Hill, and mother and daughter team, Alisa and Julia Grossman, from Voorhees High School in Glen Gardner, New Jersey but also to lend their talents and knowledge to the residents of Everglade City, Florida during the early stages of clean up and recovery. Joe, a master carpenter, coupled with his and Lisa’s years of missionary work in Eastern Kentucky made them each an asset to the needs of Everglade City. Eighty percent of
Everglade City residents and businesses were flooded, with many homes suffering not only water damage but also swept off their foundations.
never be forgotten. So, when we saw this devastation and knew we had the resources, experience, and talent to help, well … how could we not?”
When asked why she and her husband made the 26-hour drive from Connecticut to lend a hand to those in need, Lisa responded, “I expanded LDD into southwest Florida 18 months ago. The whole community welcomed me with open arms and quickly made me their own. When it appeared I might be caught in the cross-hairs of Irma, I was truly amazed by the number of calls, texts, and even Facebook messages from residents offering me safe places to stay if I couldn’t return to Connecticut. Some of these folks had only known me for a month or so. While I did, thankfully, make it out, the outpouring of those kind, selfless, and generous people will
She continued, “We live in an amazing country … the best in the world. This is what Americans do, we take care of each other. The residents of Everglade City and other areas hit by the recent natural disasters are feeling unrest and uncertainty. I hope that simple little actions, like what all these volunteers are doing, can bring comfort and hope to those in need. It certainly makes me proud to be an American!” Lisa Davenport Designs, LLC is a high-end interior design firm serving the East Coast. They are headquartered in Durham with a division in Naples, Florida.

She eventually hired artist Jessica Bruggink to execute the image. Referring to the image on her own t-shirt, Leahy said, “This is the design I tried to make [myself ] but it didn’t look anything like this.” Leahy used babysitting money to hire the artist.

IT’S ALL GOOD
For moms, worries never cease By Diana Carr Town Times
It’s been said often, and I know it’s true, that we never stop worrying about our offspring. Never. It’s worse when they are far away, and we don’t know from moment-to-moment how things are going, and our imagination has a tendency to take a turn for the worse. It was so much easier, this parenting thing, when they were just fresh out of the gate, and we could keep them under our wing, somewhat, and keep them safe, somewhat. And they took our advice, somewhat. But those days are long gone, and I, for one, sorely miss them. Both of my sons are far away, and when things are chugging along nicely for them, I have a modicum of peace. But when they hit a bump in the road (and sometimes it’s a mighty big bump), I fret and I fret, and I call and I call, and I miss the days when their biggest problem was someone slighting them at recess. Which usually didn’t turn out to be such a big problem after all, because in 10 minutes they were best friends again. When they were in their growing-up years, I could hug them and wipe away the tears and kiss the boo-boo, and I could bring back those smiles fairly quickly. But now they are big people, and there are no quick fixes anymore. I need a different strategy. Both of my sons have had “close calls” over the years, which drove me to the brink of insanity. I’m always in knots until the crisis has passed. And then I do the only thing I feel I can do, other than praying – I send them amulets and talismans for protection. I don’t know if they work, but even if there’s a slight chance that they will, I think it’s worth a shot. I feel that, as a mother, I am allowed to fall back on superstition. “I am not going to wear this,” they tell me. “I don’t believe in it.” I send my bit of magic to
them anyway. It probably just sits on their bureau, but it makes me feel like I am doing something, however small. And who knows? Maybe someday those good luck charms will leap from those bureaus and into their pockets. I have read that putting an amethyst crystal under one’s car seat will protect the driver. I’m sure you know where this is going. Whenever I visit my younger son in North Carolina, I arrive with a stash of amethyst crystals that I lose no time in tucking under all the seats of his car, so that everyone will be safe. I generally do this before he gets up, because I know he doesn’t believe in it. Or so I thought. I seem to remember him getting a new car, years ago, and asking me to send him some crystals. I was more than happy to. Talismans and crystals aside, though, when it comes to their grown-up problems, I fear I have not always been at my best. When my younger son tells me what goes on at the prison he works at, I beg him to stop, because what he is telling me reminds me (actually, I never forget) of the danger he is in on a daily basis. I tell him that if he continues with that story, I will not sleep, ever again. I want him to be able to tell me anything. Just not that. When my older son told me of a dangerous situation he was in, I started to cry. And he told me that he wasn’t going to tell me anything anymore if that’s how I was going to react. That sounded good to me. So yes, my sons are grown and gone, but the questions I asked when they were tadpoles, are the same I ask now. Are you happy? Are you safe? Are you taking your vitamins? The difference is that now I have to take it on good faith that the answers to those questions are “yes.” Meanwhile, I will keep sending those protective amulets. I figure it couldn’t hurt. I miss the days when I could make everything better with a kiss. Don’t we all?!
Letters to the Editor Reelect Adams, Davenport To the editor: I am writing in support of two exemplary candidates seeking reelection to the Planning & Zoning Commission: Alana Adams and Lisa Davenport. Well-known businesswomen in Durham, both have brought stellar leadership to the commission. They are advocates for sound and progressive growth in our community yet – as lifelong residents of our town – are passionate about Durham’s agricultural and homespun roots. They bring vision and clarity to some of the vexing issues facing our growing town and, individually, put an optimistic exclamation point on some of the more creative initiatives that the commission has undertaken.
As treasurer, Jon will be able to provide a seamless transition, devoting ample time to the position during business hours. With the State of Connecticut in severe financial crisis, millions of dollars in state aid to towns is in jeopardy. Now more than ever, Middlefield needs a municipal advocate like Jon Brayshaw.

Experienced candidates To the editor:
Vote for Neidhardt
Ruffino for treasurer

To the editor:
To the editor:
To the editor:
I recommend Peter Neidhardt for the Middlefield Board of Finance, because an analytical mind can be very useful. That’s what Peter has. He received a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Manhattan College. He worked for a large electrical company that experienced organizational transformations. He also became a manager of corporate investment planning. Thus, he can analyze the present budgetary priorities, and he is accustomed to planning for present and future needs.
Taryn Ruffino is young and bright. For two years she has been a selectman. Now, she aspires to be town treasurer. She has new eyes on an old position. Her extensive experience in banking is a tremendous advantage. As treasurer for a Democratic fundraiser two years ago, she and a friend organized the bills, stored them, and advised about savings. She was assistant manager at Liberty Bank. She has certificates in finance and banking from NE College of Business and Finance.
What happened to the Middlefield Commission on Economic Development? The board should have five members, but has only two, and did not meet last year. In the meantime, property taxes are high and some stores are empty.

PET OF THE WEEK

Smart growth needed
A stronger P&Z commission
To the editor:
To the editor: Durham’s Planning & Zoning Commission has a prevailing problem: poor attendance. Lack of a quorum at the Oct. 4 meeting prevented action on an expansion request by a local business. The first order of business for any elected official is to show up. Joe Pasquale and Dave Foley show up and do the work. In 2017, P&Z has had 14 meetings, one site walk. Joe attended 15 and Dave 14. I urge you to re-elect Joe and Dave and to elect newcomers Matt Thompson and Josh Eddinger on Nov. 7. They’ll work for you. Jim McLaughlin Durham
As a candidate for Durham P&Z commission I would like to ask for your support to be able to continue to serve you on this important commission. When I first ran I promised to listen to residents’ concerns, research the issues and bring your voice to the table. I voted for what I believe is in Durham’s best interest. I have served on sub committees of the commission along with participating in workshops on EDC that will help promote smart growth in our community. We need leaders that want to include residents in creating the vision and future of Durham. I hope that you will support and vote for the Democratic slate of candidates.

ball with determination. Often, we had eight or nine players in on each tackle. Ryan Genest, Anthony Curry and Colin Sheehey all had huge interceptions to swing momentum in our favor. Coach Ladas’s game plan worked to perfection as we were able to pressure and sack their quarterback again and again. They scored one touchdown and Romano finished with under 50 total yards of offense. Our offense took a huge step forward against a tough Spartan defense. Emphasizing a tough, physical, ground
and pound run game, our varsity offense racked up 28 points in just over three quarters of work. Our stout offensive line is the heart and soul of our team. Our o-line, made up of Trevor Smith, Justin Gagner, Kenny Trawicki, Terry Lockwood, Zach Albin, Zach Hart, Bobby Huscher, Tanner Jameson and David Skelps, drove their defense back all day and created huge holes for us to run though. Their physicality set the tone for us and allowed us to run the ball for almost 300 yards. Pat Ladas and Eli Rivera were the work horses, combining for three touchdowns. Genest caught a screen
pass from Rivera and wove beautifully thought the Spartan defense for a 30-yard score. Ryan Cross, our kicker, booted two extra points and threw a two-point conversion pass to Josh Stagon. As a team, we are young and getting better every day. We know that excellence is not measured by wins and losses, but by every player giving maximum effort and having a great attitude. We are committed to the process of getting better every day and becoming the very best team we can be. – The writer is head coach of the Coginchaug Hale-Ray football team.
