Slimmed-down BOE budget headed to May 7 referendum By Bailey Wright Town Times

Allyn Brook Park mural depicts Durham’s history By Bailey Wright Town Times

Without a stroll through Allyn Brook Park, one may never notice the Durham park’s newest addition, found in the rear of the storage unit. Four large panels of bright paint on the back wall of the building catch the eye right away. They depict scenes of oxen being guided during a

sunrise, workers pulling a bell into place, the Durham Fair under a purple sunset and a black bear crossing a field with windmills under a starry night. Local artist Mike Golschneider, 33, completed the mural last September. He’s a Durham native who now lives in Middlefield with his wife Caroline and 2-year-old son Sam.

Students to restore World War I battle trenches By Bailey Wright Town Times

icheprey and Communauté de communes Mad et Moselle.

Two local students will be part of a small group chosen to travel to France this summer to help restore American battle trenches from World War I.

For Joseph Viski, of Durham, and Daniella Lebron, of North Haven, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity neither can contain their excitement about.

Called “Digging into History: World War 1 Trench Restoration in Seicheprey, France,” the program is the first of its kind, sponsored by the Connecticut Heritage Foundation, on behalf of the Connecticut State Library, and in cooperation with the village of Se-

COMMENTARY

Monsieur Bunny, a key will be under the mat Dear Easter Bunny, Well, here we are again. Another year that grew wings and just flew on by. So how have you been, my old friend? Catch me up. I’ve known you for a long time now, and I feel that we have become quite close. I always love people and bunnies who supply me with hefty amounts of chocolate over the years.

Speaking of the young’uns, do they get a steady supply of chocolate year round? It would be too cruel to only let them have it on Easter Day. Chocolate is life’s sweet nectar and should be devoured freely and often. Chocolate makes everything better.

And speaking of chocolate – do you make your own or do you have a chocolatier? If the latter is the case, I would So how’s the wife and kids? like to apply for the job, You know what they say though I fear not much of about rabbits.

mendation writers, Anthony Pulino, said Viski came to school the next day beaming.

“He’s really excited and we're really excited for him and I think it's going to be a life-changing experience,” Pulino said.

For Viski, the chance to restore something with historical significance is particularly special. “I know for a fact that I will never be able to restore an actual trench again, this is such a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.

“I can already tell that we’re going to be a big family,” Lebron said.

A donation page has been set up where people can contribute to the students as a whole or to a particular student. Viski’s family also set up a personal GoFundMe. The group donation page can be found at the Connecticut State Library Transactions website. Also, donations can be mailed to Connecticut Heritage Foundation at 231 Capitol Ave. in Hartford. bwright@record-journal.com 203-317-2316 Twitter: @baileyfaywright

In Lebron’s case, the trenches themselves and the engineering behind them are fascinating. As a kid, she was drawn to playing with Legos and building things, so the opportunity to work in a trench that has been standing for about 100 years is “extremely cool” she said.

Middlefield Park and Recreation has scheduled POUND exercise class for Wednesdays, 6 p.m., through May 29, at the Middlefield Community Center. Led by Mary D’Orvilliers, POUND is a full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements. Email medorvilliers96@gmail.com or visit middlefieldct.recdesk.com/ Community/Program.

The village of Seicheprey is where the first German offensive against American troops during World War I took place, on April 20, 1918.

Before the three-week trip itself, the students will meet several times as a group to learn about the history of the project and even get a crash course in French.

EXECUTIVE OFFICES

For each student chosen to participate, the opportunity had a slightly different appeal.

Since then, Viski has collected some 30 gas masks, three uniforms and a variety of equipment and medals and presented his collection to fellow students at Coginchaug.

Connecticut troops from the 102nd Infantry Regiment came under fire as the German forces attacked. The battle raged throughout the day and left both sides with many losses, and the village destroyed.

Mural From A1

“When Mike came to us, we all, like, had our big eyes popping out like ‘wow, what a great idea,’” Recreation Director Sherry Hill said. The group had never thought to put a mural on the back wall — last painted by Golschneider’s own father, a house painter, in the 1990s — but loved the idea right away. The mural is a timeline of the town. “There’s a progression throughout time, like past to future, as well as through seasons and time of day,” Golschneider said. Golschneider did hours of research into the history of the town before he started painting. “I was looking at a lot of library books ... and there were these people that

drove oxen to George Washington at Valley Forge and I kind of wanted to depict that,” Golschneider said of the first panel. The second one depicts a short excerpt he read about a meetinghouse bell that was wrecked in a fire and reforged to be added to the town’s new meetinghouse. “I thought (the story) showed a lot about resilience and community in this town,” he said. Hill said the history in the panels is a good reminder of where the town came from. “When you look at this picture and you actually think about that ... we were like this over a 100 years ago and so fast — we’ve moved and we forget,” she said. The three men pulling the rope to erect the bell are friends of Golschneider. In

fact, all the people in the mural are people close to him, most of whom grew up in the district, too. His wife and son are featured in the Durham Fair panel, pointing toward something in the distance, with a Ferris wheel in the background, which Golschneider said was actually the hardest thing to paint due to the need for precise lines and angles. The final panel isn’t supposed to be a plea for a wind farm in Durham, Golschneider said. “It’s saying I would like to continue in the future being more thoughtful about energy and energy usage,” he said. As for the black bear, he said the animal has been making a comeback in the state and A mural painted at Allyn Brook Park by local artist Mike is an example of something Golschneider depicts the founding, and possible future, of we need to protect. the town of Durham.

Okay, first you must overlook the sideburns and lack of technology, and then you can succumb to the brilliance of this film. In fact, it is the absence of GPS that creates one of its most stunning scenes. Watch closely when lights approach as Roy examines his work-issued map … blink and you might miss the subtle clue that our protagonist’s world is about to expand, but not without a lot of conflict and turmoil. All of us have an obsession, whether chosen or not. And yes, that obsession can destroy. It can also infuse pur-

My generation was in the pre-Trapper-Keeper world of school, parents and friends, with no social media-induced diversion from any of them. Tethered to the (usually green) kitchen phone by the tangled coil of a cord that could only reach so far, we didn’t know any kind of escape from everyday life was even possible. Thankfully, Roy Neary convinced us that it was.

In ‘You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again,’ the late producer Julia Phillips describes the tension that blighted every stage of Close Encounters’ completion. The scene in which Roy is interrogated is apparently a mix of extraordinary acting and authentic disdain for rehearsal guidelines. In the exclamation of, “You have no right to make people crazy!,” we’re still not sure if we’re hearing the voice of Roy Neary or Richard Dreyfuss. It doesn’t matter, because that line spoke to all of us. Even now, it is that very crazy that leads to a path we want to follow.

Residents will vote on the budget and capital improvement plans on May 7. Polling locations will be Korn School in Durham and the Middlefield Community Center.
