Students lead charge for park smoking ban By Charles Kreutzkamp Town Times
Coginchaug Regional High School students are leading the charge to ban smoking at Middlefield and Durham parks. The group is also considering the details of a proposal to reduce smoking at the Durham Fair, possibly by implementing a ban near child-friendly areas such as the midway, where the rides are, and the youth exhibitions. Students in the Youth Advisory Council and the EDGE club – “excellent decisions guiding every day,” a club that focuses on leadership skills, safe decisions, and prevention of substance use and violence – have
teamed up with the Durham and Middlefield Wellness Coalition to run to surveys to gauge community support for the proposal. For Coginchaug Junior Sarah Collins, part of the advisory council, it’s about making “Durham a healthier place.” Collins said that “Second-hand smoke causes a lot of health issues, and is more harmful than first-hand smoking. There are a lot of children at the Durham Fair that could be affected by that.” “It’s really driven by the youth,” said Coginchaug Junior and EDGE member Erin Hassmann, with the role of adults being mainly adviSee Students / Page 4
Middlefield GOP nominates Bailey and Brayshaw to BOS By Mark Dionne Town Times
With Middlefield First Selectman Jon Brayshaw’s long-standing pledge not to run again for first selectman, the Middlefield Republicans needed to field a different candidate for the office for the first time in five elections. The party did not need to look far and has announced that Ed Bailey, currently serving as a selectman, will run for first selectman. Brayshaw will run to be a selectman. If both candidates win, they will essentially switch positions on the Board of Selectmen. The Middlefield Democrats nominated Peter Neidhart for first selectman and

Hot weekend for 4-H Fair By Mark Dionne Town Times
Taryn Ruffino for selectman. Robert Johnson, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission, will run as an independent for first selectman. Those candidates will be profiled in future Town Times articles. Current Democratic Selectman Dave Burgess is not a candidate for selectman. In a press release Bailey said, “The past six years have allowed me to work with the citizens of the Middlefield and Rockfall community and make our town the best it can be. My experience on the Board of Selectmen has served the town well and I look forward to continuing to meet the needs of our town and its residents.”
The annual 4-H Fair was held at the Durham Fairgrounds in hot and muggy weather over the weekend of July 31 - Aug. 1, marking the 89th anniversary of the traditional fair. The 4-H Fair is distinctive because it combines the Middlesex and New Haven county 4-H programs and also because it is run by the young 4-H members. Emily Alger, Program Coordinator for the Middlesex County 4-H and an adult, said, “We are committed to the philosophy that the kids run their fair and we support them.” Kids make the decisions about the planning, schedules, content, money, and other fair matters along with mentors. Sometimes in the modern era, according to Alger, kids

Supreme Champion ribbon. “I think the heat actually helped because he was tired and he listened better,” Chelsea said. Like Chelsea, Alden Halfinger participated in the dog show for the first time. Alden’s two year old Doberman Pinscher Baxter took third place in obedience and fourth place in showmanship. Alden’s family used fans and water to help Baxter deal with the heat. “I just kind of power through it,” said Alden, dressed in the traditional long pants and sleeves of a dog handler, Alden, who has shown small animals in previous years, appreciated the opportunity to participate in a dog show and the spirit of the fair. “If you’re into dogs, this is the place. It’s not too competitive, it’s just to have fun.”
et
are told they are in charge of things without really being in charge. “Kids feel like even if you give them a job they’re not really responsible. That’s not the way it’s done here,” Alger said. The kids may do things differently from year to year and also do things differently than the adults might, but Alger said that is part of the process. “You can’t always strive for perfection. You have to strive for perfect learning.” Young animal handlers at the 89th 4-H Fair showed llamas, dogs, cattle, swine, and small animals. The fair also held animal pulls, including for the first time pulls for minihorses. Archery, home arts, robots, bouncy houses, and fair food were also on hand. Fair organizers also had to deal with temperatures in the upper 80s both Saturday and Sunday. Alger said that animal handlers were instructed to use their own discretion and keep their animals safe even if
it meant keeping them home. Sam Drop of Durham, who showed a heifer as a member of the Deerfield Farms’ Jolly Ranchers, said, “They told us if we didn’t feel comfortable bringing them, we didn’t have to.” Entering her senior year at Coginchaug Regional High School, Sam first got involved in 4-H about eight years ago when her parents brought her to a club, thinking it might be a one-month commitment. Sam has been showing animals at the 4-H and other fairs since sixth grade. Sam, who also worked on the fair’s Officer Team as the Recording Secretary, said that the heat was not too bad. “We have fans and we’re making sure their water buckets are full.” Alger said that fewer than 10 percent of the animals were kept home because of the heat. Chelsea Weimer from Salem said the heat may have played a role in her dog Petey, a four year old and thick-furred Great Pyrenees, winning the Grand

be a better experience with less second-hand smoke. “All of our members volunteer at the fair,” and are exposed to smoke while working at booths, she said, with many complaining about “smoke blown in our faces.” Because the fair is “such a family oriented event,” she thinks a smoking ban or sequestration of smoking to designated areas would “make a better fair, so more people will want to come.” Wellness coalition coordinator Stephanie Moran said that conducting survey and getting public opinion input on the issue is the first step, after which the coalition will work with the youth to prepare a proposal for an ordinance to be considered by the Durham and Middlefield Selectmen. “Hopefully by the fall we will have some kind of proposal ready,” Moran said. She said it was good to see the students so “passionate” about the issue. They truly are “the driving force” behind the proposal, she said. Students want as many residents as possible to answer questions in an online surveys found at https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/ DMLWCTobaccoSurvey, to learn how residents view the issue. The Durham Middlefield Wellness Coalition has another survey available about substance use by teens in the community, to help guide their initiatives at https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/DMLWCCommunitySurvey2015.

Opinion Fall season almost upon us So here’s August, and we can’t help but count down the days ‘til summer’s end. The summer is flying by, we all lament. A minute ago the entire glorious season was sprawled out before us, and now look, most of it is behind us. I usually throw out some cheery words. Oh, but isn’t fall absolutely wonderful? The spectacular foliage, those crisp days, pumpkins. And how much do we love the holidays! Such fun waiting for us up ahead. I’m not fooling anyone. Already I am starting to grieve the passing of this most cherished season. I try not to do it. I try to live in the moment. It never works. I’m the person who, on the first day of summer, remembers that the days will be getting shorter now. And come August we can see the finish line. The days have noticeably shrunk. We may wake up to cool mornings. And by the end of the month we often we see a splash of color in the trees as we drive about. I find myself counting the weeks I have in my pool until it stands silent under its ugly brown cover. How many more after-supper walks will I be afforded before the night closes in? How much longer can I hold onto this glorious tan, until my skin once again takes on
the pallor of Elmer’s glue? I’ll really miss the birds singing under my window in the morning. And I can’t even bear the thought of putting on shoes. This tenuous relationship with August has been longstanding. As a child, I was aware that summer’s delights would be ripped from us, one by one, and soon. But something even darker loomed on the horizon. The first day of school! Adding insult to injury, it was. I always hated school. Sitting still all day, following all those rules. Never a fan. It didn’t help that my mother thought it was funny to sing a song that included the lyrics “school days, school days, dear old golden rule days. Reading and writing and ‘rithmetic, taught to the tune of a hickory stick.” I never saw the humor in it. And when we went shopping for school clothes and supplies, my mood really took a nosedive. I could no longer deny
that my wings would soon be clipped. I don’t let go easily. I float ‘round and ‘round in my pool, happy as a clam at high tide, with my books and my green tea, and I will do this until the water is so cold it steals my breath away. I won’t put on shoes until I start worrying about frostbite. Come fall, I won’t don a jacket on frigid days because that really means that summer has slipped away, as if continuing to wear my summer clothes will, in some magical way, stretch the season out. It never does. I’m just cold. But cheer up, my friends. Think of all the fun waiting for us up ahead. The spectacular foliage, the crisp days, the pumpkins, the holidays. Are you buying it?

Letters to the Editor Time flies To the editor: Where has the time gone? It seems impossible that 25 years has gone by so quickly. There are so many great memories. What stands out the most during this time are all the amazing people I have had the privilege to serve, to learn from, and to call friends. I would not be celebrating this mile stone without your support and trust. When I first opened my office in 1990, the price of gas was $1.16/gallon, a first class postage stamp was 25 cents and you could get a dozen eggs for $1. There was a lot less traffic on Main Street. The past four years have been a challenge dealing with health issues that required dialysis three times a week. That schedule forced me to have fewer hours in my office and less energy. My sincere gratitude goes to all the patients that allowed me to continue to serve them during that difficult season. However, on June 4 of this year I was blessed with a kidney transplant. My strength and energy has returned, and I am excited to help in anyway, as many people as possible. Chiropractic care helped me while I needed dialysis. It is more than just for back and neck pain. The spinal column houses the spinal cord,
which is an extension of the brain, and contains openings between the vertebrae for nerves to exit and provide direct communication between the brain and every single cell, tissue, organ and gland in the entire body. The spine is the master control center for the entire nerve system and the key to better overall health. I hope to continue to serve the members of our community for another 25 years and welcome your calls on health matters. Stephen Wrinn, D.C. Durham
Re-elect French To the Editor: With his stellar record as Tax Collector, Martin French deserves another term. Upon assuming the office, Martin cleared up years worth of back taxes owed to the town. He has had eleven record-setting years assuring us that there is a revenue stream to operate the town. The most recent tax collection period ended with 98.8 percent of taxes collected. Martin was the chief architect of the Senior Tax Relief Programs that help our seniors continue living in their homes. Join me in voting for Martin French for Durham’s Tax Collector.

Scouting Philmont On June 29, 2015, nine members of Troop 33 in Middlefield, had to wake up in the wee hours of the morning, far before the sun had even risen, to catch their plane to Albuquerque, New Mexico. They were headed for a two week long trek at a high adventure camp known as the Philmont Scout Ranch. The Scout Ranch was a vast expanse of land that was home to Jicarilla Apache and Moache Ute Native Americans which eventually came into the possession of a Lucien Maxwell.
In 1870, however, Maxwell sold his to property Waite Phillips who then donated 35,857 acres of the 300,000 acres that he owned to form the Philmont Scout Ranch as a way to teach scouts about the beauty and wonders of nature. The Scout Ranch, today, is a well staffed camp and gets over 22,000 scouts every summer. The Boy Scouts organization now owns over 135,000 acres of the original territory with over 315 miles of trails, 35 staffed camps, and 770 campsites. Every day the
camp sends 350 scouts out on the trail as well as welcomes another 350 back from the trail. Philmont is known as one of the world’s best scouting camps, almost solely based on the scenery to be witnessed, breath-taking views from the tops of mountains, humbling gullys with walls so high even an elephant would feel small. Standing on Mount Phillips, with it’s peak just above the clouds, leaving the beholder to believe they were stranded on an Island in a sea of mist. One might think tempera-
tures in New Mexico would be unbearable, and while this is true it is a complete different story for the mountains. Average temperatures rarely peak over 80 degrees once you’re above 8,000. However, the nights can get very cold, as low as in the 20’s; nothing a sleeping bag can’t handle. Out there on the mountains you’re one with nature. Animals do not fear us, in fact many boys have come back telling tales of how closely they’ve encountered snakes and lizards, how they could practically touch the deer
that stood in front of them, and you can see the amazement in their eyes, and hear the excitement in their voices. Out on the trail a person experiences something powerful and unlike anything else. There is so much more than just what’s on the trail. Many camps are equipped with ranger camps, where rangers have themes and activities based on the long history of Philmont. The Troop had gotten to work on a farm with animals like goats, See Philmont / Page 12

A Late Fee of $25 will apply to anyone who registers on or after August 10. Registration closes on Sunday, August 16.

They even got to ride on horses, following a trail with a beautiful view of the infinite green valleys. When on the back of a horse, leading it in the right direc-

resident, started a blog with his wife, Laura Casey, called “The Foraging Family, Adventures in Food and Freedom.� The blog combined Lord’s love for foraging with his wife’s love for cooking. The blog lists multiple types of plants in the wild and recipes the couple created to incorporate their findings. One recipe was a Columbian stew using the common weed called galinsoga. Galinsoga is an herb and can be consumed like cooked greens. Another recipe involved creating a pesto from wood sorrel, another common weed. In his blog, Lord described the “light lemony flavor� of the wood sorrel and said he had never cooked with it before, but often would nibble on it or add it to a salad. “Our goal was to eat 100 new wild foods in the course of a single season,� Lord said. “It was awesome, it was really fun.� Lord shares his knowledge about wild foods in a variety of ways.

natural things,” said Jeanne Chmielewski, the adult program coordinator and publicist for the library. “I think people will be curious about it.” Lord’s discussions include how to identify a wild plant, find its habitat, gather it at the right time in its life, and prepare it. He sometimes takes his audiences outside to identify edible plants in the parking lot area. “My thought right now is that people come to foraging for a lot of different reasons and they have lots of different levels of expertise and so I would like to help folks with whatever it is I can,” he said. Besides his foraging blog, Lord also is a natural history and wild foods writer for Northern Woodlands magazine, a science teacher at Brattleboro Union High School in Vermont, and the presenter coordinator for ACORN Nature and Music Festival. “He’s a natural teacher,” said Michelle Lord, his mother. “You go for a walk and he can just point things out to you. His two-year-old son, says, ‘Grandma, you can eat this.’ ”

Tips on creating a butterfly garden By Farrah Duffany Special to Town Times
Creating a butterfly garden is more involved than most people suspect. You need to learn about the soil, types of plants and various species of butterflies. Here are some tips for starting a butterfly garden.
Pick a site
Most plants needed for a
butterfly garden require at least six hours, of sun and good drainage. “Most butterfly plants, in general, don’t like wet soggy boggy conditions,” said Martha Sherman, the National Project Chair for the CT Federation, which helps educate people about butterflies. It is important to test the soil before you start. The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New
Haven offers free testing. Samples can be mailed or dropped off. The test will determine if the soil is good for a butterfly garden.
Determining the layout will also help with the placement of the plants. If you choose a circular pattern, taller plants work best in the center, but if it’s a square they work best towards the back, Sherman said. Layout your garden “It does help to actually Do you want your garden to be in the shape of a circle? sketch it out,” she added. Or a square?

plants and each one attracts different butterflies. Dill, parsley, fennel, and carrot attract black swallowtails, while alfalfa and deerweed attract anise swallowtail. A list of host plants can be found by visiting Gardens with Wings website at www. gardenswithwings.com. Butterflies feed on the nectar plants. Plants that grow well from summer to fall are floss flowers, abelia, aralia, and butterfly weed.
A list of nectar plants can be found by visiting the Connecticut Butterfly Association’s website at www.ctbutterfly.org. Sherman suggests separating the nectar and host plants.

Some plants may be difficult to find because they are in demand, said Jude Hsiang, an Advanced UConn Master Gardener and Coordinator of the New Haven County Master Gardener office in North Haven. “We get calls here at the office‌ we haven’t been able to provide enough plants,â€? said Hsaing.

In order for butterflies to warm their wings and gather minerals from the dirt, Sherman suggests creating a “puddling spot� with a shallow amount of water for butterflies to hang out. Since butterflies can’t swim, the water has to be shallow, Sherman said. Experts recommend soaking a small area of the garden that has flat stones or using a small bird bath, mixing some dirt into the water. “Butterflies are coldblooded and can only fly when temperatures are above 60 degrees� she said. “If you give them stones in the garden, they absorb the heat, warm up, and butterflies can perch on it and open their wings to warm.�

Named “Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Windows & Doors” by J.D. Power Overall Customer Satisfaction Index Ranking
Renewal by Andersen was ranked highest in customer satisfaction with windows and patio doors, according to the J.D. Power 2015 Windows and Patio Doors Satisfaction StudySM.1 We’ll give you a price that’s good for a year. No pressure—that’s the part that our customers like best about our Free Window Diagnosis. Learn what makes our window different, and then you decide. We are proud to be associated with Andersen. We’re the replacement window division of Andersen. Every one of our windows and patio doors must live up to their 112-year-old standard to be the best. We won’t let you make the vinyl window mistake. Our exclusive Fibrex® composite material is twice as strong as vinyl, and unlike low-end vinyl, our windows are structurally and aesthetically designed to fit your home. We literally handpick every installer. No matter how good your window is, if it’s not installed properly, it will fail. Each of our teams have installed thousands of windows and often leave homes cleaner than when they arrived.
