The Liberty Bank branch at 357 Main St. in Durham was robbed on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 3, sending local schools into lockdown status. The robbery was reported shortly before 2 p.m. and nearby schools have dismissal times shortly after that. Some Strong school students were outside to board their buses when they were called back into the building for the lockdown. According to messages from school administrators, the lockdown lasted for about 10 minutes and delayed buses from Main Street’s Strong Middle School and Coginchaug Regional High School. All six schools were in lockdown, with no one allowed in or out of the buildings for the duration. Lockdown safety drills began in earnest at the schools after the Sandy Hook murders. According to state police, “The suspect was described as a white male, early to mid-30s, approximately 6’0”, thin, athletic type build, with some facial hair. The suspect was wearing a blue and white baseball style cap with a ‘Co-

ors Light’ logo affixed to the front. The suspect was also wearing a blue striped long sleeve style dress shirt, light colored cargo style shorts and athletic sneakers. The suspect fled on foot and got into a green older model sedan.” The Connecticut Bankers Reward Association has offered a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case. State police have asked anyone with information to contact Troop F in Westbrook at 860-399-2100. “Again,” was a frequent response to the news of the bank robbery among Durham and Middlefield residents. Main Street banks have been targets in the past. On Friday, Jan. 23, 2015 a man armed with a gun robbed the same branch. On Tuesday, April 16, 2013 an armed man robbed Durham’s TD Bank, which was located nearby on Main Street but has since closed. In November and December of 2012, those two branches were robbed within six days of each other. In December of 2009, the TD Bank was robbed, again by a robber displaying a gun, bringing the total to at least six robberies in six years.

Durham Fair Volunteer Fair composting Exhibitor Guide online project expands 201 5 marks the third year for the Durham Fair composting project of the Durham-Middlefield Clean Energy & Sustainability Task Forces (CE&STF.) In its pilot year, 2013, the composting project collected 1.67 tons of compostable waste from 23 non-profit food vendors. Last year 44 vendors and three fair exhibit halls participated, and CE&STF collected 3.84 tons of compostables — more than the combined weight of five Jersey cows! Over 50 vendors will participate in this year’s composting project. Participating vendors will display a picture of our hardest-working and tiniest livestock — the worm. CE&STF hopes to divert five tons of compostable waste from the Durham Fair’s trash collection. Compost generates nutrient-rich soil, helps reduce the Durham Fair’s carbon footprint and reduces tipping fees by removing the weight of food waste from the general trash collection. The composting project is a wonderful example of multi-generational community cooperation to promote environmental stewardship.

The 96th annual Durham Fair Exhibitor Guide is available exclusively online at www.DurhamFair.com. The website includes details on deadlines, delivery dates, general guidelines and easy online entry. For more infor-

Many local organizations support and participate in this project, including the Coginchaug Valley Education Foundation (CVEF), CRHS Eco Club, Coginchaug Area Transition, Boy Scout Troop 27, Durham Fair Association, Home Depot in Middletown, and HQ Dumpsters & Recycling LLC of Southington. CVEF awarded the composting project a second grant to expand the program to include more vendors, and to create a recycling and composting information center for one of the food tents. Now, this important project needs more people power. Volunteers are needed to staff the new recycling information center, distribute compost buckets and bins before the fair begins, and to pick up compost before the fair opens each morning. To join the compost crew, email Sue Michael at smichael@ rsd13.org. – Press Release

mation, contact marketing@ durhamfair.com, exhibitmanagement@durhamfair.com, or (860) 349-9495. All exhibitors are eligible for the discounted Exhibitor Admission Ticket. The ticket is valid all four days of the Durham Fair.

The State Department of Education’s Bureau of Special Education will conduct a statewide survey of parents and guardians of students receiving special education services, ages 3 to 21. This survey is due by Friday, Sept. 18. The purpose of this survey is to collect information on family satisfaction and parent involvement in their child’s special education program. The results will be used to monitor progress and improve special education services for Connecticut students with disabilities. Parents will receive this survey in the mail. This brief confidential survey is intended to be completed specifically as it relates to your child. It should take less than 15 minutes to complete. The information gathered is meant to give the school district feedback and drive the state’s efforts in improving how special education services and supports are addressed statewide. For more information, contact your school district’s special education department, or contact the Connecticut Parent Advocacy Center (CPAC) at 800-445-CPAC, cpac@ cpacinc.org; or Marcus Rivera at the State Department of Education at 860-713-6932, marcusrivera@ct.gov.

Primary Szewczyk, a Hartford police officer, has served two terms on the BOS, and unsuccessfully ran as a Republican

July 27 Republicans in attendance selected Raney over Szewczyk as their Selectman candidate. Szewczyk has portrayed himself as the outsider and populist candidate, writing in a letter to the Town Times on Aug. 28, “[A] small group of Republican Party leaders decided to punish me for occasionally being the lone vote against excess government spending and actually attempting to make our local government a tad more ethical and transparent.” Szewczyk collected the required signatures to force the primary. “I decided to primary because one person, Republican Party leader Bob Poliner, shouldn’t make a decision that belongs to every Durham Republican,” said

Szewczyk via e-mail. “I have the experience and proven track record of being the one fiscally responsible Selectmen over the past eight years and the Republican Party should have the choice if they want that to continue.” Speaking to the Town Times, Raney said he was not surprised to end up in a primary. “After the caucus, I kind of expected it,” Raney said. Raney has been preparing for the primary by going door to door with Francis to discuss issues and concerns with residents and to talk about the primary. “Some people don’t know, so we informed them,” Raney said. According to Raney, the ticket has gotten positive feedback and he appreciates the warm reception he has received around town. “My message is that my entire working career has been in business. I understand how business works and think it’s important to have that experience on the Board of Selectmen,” Raney said. Primary voting will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Korn school. Only those registered as Republicans can participate. Unaffiliated voters have until noon Tuesday, Sept. 15 to switch their registration to Republican at Town

in 2010 against Matt Lesser for State Representative. Raney has owned a business management consulting firm for 32 years and served as Chair of the Board of Assessment Appeals. Often when primaries occur, the incumbent is the party candidate and the challenger the outsider candidate, but in this race the positions are reversed. Raney has had the backing of members of the local Republican establishment, including First Selectman Laura Francis, former Chair of the Republican Town Committee Bob Poliner, and that committee’s current Chair and Republican Registrar of Voters Pam Lucashu, among others. At a caucus of Republican party members on Monday,

Hall if they wish to participate. Mail in switches are accepted with a Friday, Sept. 11 or earlier postmark. The rules are stricter about switching parties to participate in a primary. Democratic Party voters would have had to switch three months before the primary to be eligible. Voters can check their registration at Town Hall or on the Connecticut Secretary of State’s web page, using the “Voter Information” and the “Am I registered to vote in CT?” links for a voter lookup tool, which reveals party affiliation. Both Szewczyk and Raney said that they have not encountered any negative feedback about the primary. Szewczyk said, “Many Republicans are extremely appreciative of having a member of their Board of Selectmen take a fiscally conservative approach to our town finances as our property taxes are outrageous.” Taxes are also a part of Raney’s campaign. Raney told the Town Times that as he campaigns he tells residents that the tax burden would be eased by growing the business culture in town. “That’s my experience and I think it’s valuable,” Raney said. Both Szewczyk and Raney said that they will not take another route, such as a write in campaign, onto November’s ballot. As the Durham Democrats are only running one candidate, current Selectman Steve Levy, whoever wins the Republican primary is guaranteed a seat on the BOS. According to Durham Town Clerk Kim Garvis, the last primary in Durham was 26 years ago, and also a Republican primary. In 1994, Althea Parmelee and Jane Mauro held a primary for Republican Registrar of Voters.

Ruffino for Selectman. “I am excited about the challenge to serve as our community’s next First Selectman. I welcome the opportunity to talk with the residents of Middlefield and Rockfall about what they feel our community needs,” Neidhardt said. The Middlefield Democrats pointed to Neidhardt’s 30 years of business experience as a manager for Eversource Energy (formerly Northeast Utilities). According to a Middlefield Democrats’ press release, “He manages a diverse group of over 30 professionals spread across three states. The group is responsible for the planning and monitoring of a multi-year, multi-billion dollar construction project. Peter knows how to talk with people in order to establish

Ruffino, a third generation resident of Rockfall, is an Assistant Branch Manager at Liberty Bank and a Co-Chair of the Middlefield Sesquicentennial Committee. Ruffino said, “Peter and I want to re-energize our community by engaging you, the residents. We want to hear your ideas and suggestions and are looking forward to talking about the issues most important to you.” The Middlefield Republicans have nominated current Selectman Ed Bailey to run for First Selectman and current First Selectman Jon Brayshaw to run as Selectman. Robert Johnson, current Chair of Planning and Zoning, is running as a petitioning candidate for First Selectman. Whoever wins the most votes among Neidhardt, Bailey, and Johnson will become

First Selectman. The next two candidates from the pool including Brayshaw and Ruffino with the highest votes, regardless of whether they were candidates for First Selectman or Selectman, will become the two Selectmen. However, because of minority representation rules that prohibit boards from single party dominance, in the unlikely event of Neidhardt, Ruffino, and Johnson finishing with the top three vote totals the third place finisher would not serve on the Board of Selectman because, although he is running without a party line, Johnson is a registered Democrat. Current Democratic Selectmen Dave Burgess is not running for reelection.

goals, monitor performance, and measure outcomes.” Neidhardt’s announcement points to issues in Middlefield such as roads in disrepair, the “lack of focus on development of town property on Hubbard Street,” attention to business district zoning on Route 66, and a zero-based budgeting model for town government. Neidhardt has three grown children, who all attended District 13 schools. Neidhardt said, “Together with my running mate, Taryn Ruffino, I plan to bring a new energy and direction to Town Hall. I believe that we need a town leader that is more engaged and responsive to the residents of Middlefield and Rockfall and better utilizes our boards and commissions to strengthen our community while preserving its unique character and charm.”

Opinion

Now, where do I go? My GPS, whom I’ve named Sadie, is quite the trickster. I had thought giving her a name would make her feel like a treasured friend, and thus she would be inclined to stay the course and never steer me wrong. She has steered me wrong. Let me preface this by saying that I’m the kind of person who would need a map to get from my kitchen to my living room. I have spent a good deal of my life driving around in circles, feeling like a rat in a maze, with no way out. No sense of direction whatsoever. My kids, more than once, would cry out from the back seat, “Mom, are we ever going to get home?” It didn’t look good. But then along came Sadie, and it was love at first sight. I thought she was grand. I spent the first few weeks zipping around with her next to my side, going to places

I wouldn’t dare go without her, but I went just because I could. It was thrilling to be able to get someplace, and back home again, in a timely fashion. I praised her and I thanked her often, for giving me my new sense of freedom. If she had been a bit taller, I believe I would have driven with my arm around her. But I fear the honeymoon is over. She’s become a bit fickle, which is a surprise, because she had been such a sweet girl. I think, out of boredom, she spends her downtime thinking up ways to lead me astray. I can just hear her chuckling to herself when she drops me off at the wrong

Letters to the Editor Truly amazing experience To the editor: Recently, on the beautiful hills and pastures of the Wimler Farm was the amazing “An Evening in White” flash mob dinner. The truly amazing experience raises money for the United Churches and our local food pantries. Giving to charity was never so much fun! While any charity or volunteer event requires the hands of many volunteers, this spectacular event would not be possible without the dynamic leadership of Leslie Ozols and Lisa Davenport. It is impossible to be in their company and not feel the excitement nor the reason you are there. I was honored to be a very small piece of the team, but want to be sure that everyone in our community is aware of the dedicated efforts of these lovely women.

Our town is blessed to have them. What will they come up with for next year? Wendy Manemeit Durham

house, or when she takes me down dead ends. Every now and then, just for giggles, she will put me on a street that is definitely not the right one. And I find myself arguing with her. “Now Sadie, why did you go and do that?” She is suspiciously quiet. Then there are the times, and these are often, when I come to a “T” and must turn left or right, and there’s not so much as a peep out of the ‘ol girl. Is it siesta time, Sadie? So I am left on my own with this decision – which way to turn – and invariably I go the wrong way. I tell her, “Do you not get that See Carr / Page 10

“Welcome to Oz” was the theme for the North American Envirothon. From left: Coginchaug’s Tyler MacDonald, Natalie Charette, Lilian Zhou, Matthew Sawicki and Amelia Bianchi.

Coginchaug Envirothon team represented state well By Susan Michael Coginchaug Regional High School’s Envirothon team competed at the National Conservation Foundation North American Envirothon in Springfield, Missouri in July. The team was composed of seniors Amelia Bianchi, Natalie Charette and Tyler McDonald and juniors Matthew Sawicki and Lillian Zhou. Highlights for the team included a tie for second in Aquatics and a fifth place finish in Wildlife. The team came in 16th overall out of 52 teams competing. The NCF North American Envirothon is a rigorous and demanding program that takes place over six days. Teams of five students from most of the United States and Canadian provinces competed. Each team had to win their state or province’s competition to qualify. This year’s Envirothon theme was “Welcome to Oz” because the competition

was taking place in the foothills of the Ozarks. The first evening included a “Trading Night.” Teams brought items such as lapel pins, t-shirts, hats, mugs, and other “swag” that represented their home states. Coginchaug’s team was grateful for the generous donations of swag items that they received from the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, the Connecticut Envirothon organization and Connecticut Conservation Districts, and the Durham Fair Association. It was an hour of crazy wheeling and dealing. We all walked away with a favorite t-shirt or set of pins that provided some tangible evidence of our adventurous week. During the second day, students went to training on the local aspects of Missouri environmental topics that would be tested in the field portion of the competition. The students learned See Envirothon / Page 11

To the editor: It has been an honor to serve you on Durham’s Board of Selectmen for the past eight years.

Re-elect Szewczyk

To the editor: John Szewczyk has been the most fiscally conservative member on Durham’s Board of Selectmen for the past eight years. He has not been afraid to be the only “no” vote when it comes to spending our town’s money. I, for one, believe our property taxes are high enough See Letters / Page 10

To the editor: I am writing this letter to encourage all registered Republicans to vote for Rob Raney for Selectman in the Sept. 16 primary election. Rob possesses all the qualities that would make him a valuable asset to the Board of Selectman, an integral part of the administration of town government. He is level headed, capable of reviewing all sides of an issue, and making decisions that are in the best interest of the town. Rob spent a career helping companies improve operations and create efficiencies and I am confident that he would do the same for our town government. His values are rock solid and he is fully vested

ford, etc.), Durham is well above-average in property taxes as our town spending is simply unsustainable. In fact, our net town budget has risen 56 percent from $3,881,160 to $6,081,294 over the past eight years, yet our town has only grown by 167 residents during that same time period. Simply put, our town budget is growing at 7 percent per year whereas our population is practically stagnant. This is in a time period where other communities are cutting back and becoming more fiscally disciplined. My promise to the residents of Durham is simple: I will not change. I will continue to vote in the same fiscally conservative manner I have for the past eight years, even if it means continuing to be the lone “no” vote on spending items, thereby upsetting a few of the party leaders who have accused me of “rocking the boat.” I will continue to provide alternate, no-tax-increase budgets that do not harm

To the editor: My name is Rob Raney and I am the Durham Republican-endorsed candidate for Selectman. Over the past several weeks I have been going door to door with Laura Francis to talk with and listen to hundreds of Durham residents. I was overwhelmed by the welcoming reception we received by everyone. I was able to see old friends and meet many new ones. I was impressed by how engaging and willing people were to express their concerns and discuss the current issues of town. I understand and appreciate how busy the evening hours can be for families. However, people took the time to talk and the community spirit of Durham residents was very evident during our visits. There is no better way to understand the concerns and interests of Durham then talking to its residents. I would like to thank the town for this opportunity and the proud display of Durham’s character. Rob Raney Durham

in our community. I believe we are in a position to thrive as our economy slowly recovers but only if we have energetic leaders that are willing to be resourceful, innovative and look for the opportunities that are available. I believe that Rob Raney is the person most able to be that leader and that is why I ask you to join me in voting for Rob for the Board of Selectman. Laura Francis Durham

on my own I could not find my way out of a paper bag, hence you coming along for the ride?” And then she comes to life again, with her “recalculating.” I am so tired of recalculating. She was particularly sassy the other day. I was doing her bidding, but she kept nagging me with her “recalculating,” which is obviously her favorite word. I started to raise my voice to her. “Sadie, I am on that road. What are you doing?” We almost came to fisticuffs. So it would appear that the

worm has turned, and I’m not at all sure what Sadie is plotting. She may get it into her little GPS head to venture out, with me in tow, to lands not yet explored – by me, anyway. So if you don’t hear from me for a while, I may be in Timbuktu or Hoboken or Oshkosh. Or white water rafting down the Colorado River (Sadie doesn’t mind getting wet.) But no worries, I’ll make my way back to you. I’ll just keep recalculating. Diana Carr, a resident of Durham, is a certified life coach who was trained by Martha Beck.

and wish we had more fiscal conservatives in office. If there is any elected official who deserves to be reelected, it’s John Szewczyk. Please support John Szewczyk so he is re-elected to Durham’s Board of Selectmen in the Republican Primary Sept. 16 at Korn school from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Charles Harmon Durham

Not the typical politician To the editor: John Szewczyk has been accessible, responsive, and the one member of the Board of Selectmen who always has the best interest of Durham residents in mind. He votes in a financially responsible manner, has refused to buckle under pressure and has stood his ground, even if it means upsetting some within his own party. If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. We need more people like

John in politics. Vote for John Szewczyk for Board of Selectmen in the Republican Primary. Vera Geremia Durham

Vote Neidhardt, Ruffino To the editor: Vote Peter Neidhardt for First Selectman of Middlefield/Rockfall. Our town is a charming community with runaway taxes. The executive should collaborate with others in order to hold down the budget. Since education takes 72 percent of every tax dollar, the selectman must work with – not against – the school board and administrators. Middlefield/Rockfall and Durham cooperate, not only in education, but also in DMIAAB and the youth program. The fire departments assist each other. A selectman should search for other alliances that hold down expenses and provide services. Peter Neidhardt and Taryn

Ruffino can develop those alliances. Donna Golub Town Clerk

Backing Stengel

To the editor: Chuck Stengel has lived in Durham for 43 years. He worked as an engineer at SNET/SBC/ATT and supervised parts of the company’s cost analysis and pricing decisions. After serving six years (‘82 to ‘87) on the Board of Finance, he decided to further his education, and acquired his MBA. He volunteers at the Durham Fair and Help Willy’s Friends. He attends several town committee meetings – Board of Finance, Board of Selectmen, Board of Education Utilization Committee, and others. We support Chuck Stengel in his concern for the financial well being of Durham and therefore support his bid to become a member of the Board of Finance. Carl and Barbara Stoup Durham

and some new recruits to form another strong team and hopefully get a chance to go back to the national competition, which will take place in Alberta, Canada next year. In closing, the 2015 Coginchaug Envirothon team would like to express their deepest gratitude to the Connecticut Conservation Districts and the Connecticut Envirothon Steering Committee for their generous support. They helped the team with registration fees and travel expenses totaling over $4,500. Special thanks goes out to Jeffrey Folger, who volunteers countless hours to both the Connecticut and National Envirothon organizations and was extremely helpful in communicating the protocol and planning needs for the competition. The team also appreciated Kevin Charette’s willingness to give up a week of his time to be the male chaperone. The writer is Science Department Chair at Coginchaug.

about local trees, wildlife, soils, aquatics and urban forestry. The weather in Springfield that day was 100 degrees and 84 percent humidity. The students were real troopers, working and taking notes in the field in such oppressive weather. They were provided lots of water, wet towels and frozen drinks. Wednesday was the field competition. Missouri had a different type of testing than Connecticut Envirothon, using an ecosystem approach that weaves the different topics together with a focus on the main categories of soils, forestry, wildlife, aquatics, and the current issue. The test was all openended and fill-in. It was very challenging, according to team members. In their opinion, soils seemed to be the hardest. After another very hot day in the low 90 degree range, and high humidity, the students relaxed and had a dance sponsored by the NCF Envirothon. Thursday was a fun day at the Silver Dollar City Amusement Park courtesy of the NCF and their sponsors. Friday the teams heard three speeches on Urban Forestry in the morning and then they were given an oral presentation problem. The students had to come up with an urban forestry management plan for the Springfield Missouri School District. The teams were sequestered for seven hours and in that time they had to develop a 20-minute oral presentation and visual aids on poster board without any use of electronics of any kind. This turned out to be one of the most challenging parts of the week. The oral presentation counts for 2/7 of the overall score. At the end of the sequestration, all materials were collected and the students were instructed that they could not talk to their advisors or anyone about their presentation. Kevin Charette, the chaperone, and I, the team advisor, made sure that the discus-

sions at dinner that evening stayed on other topics. On Saturday morning all of the teams presented in randomly assigned shifts. Coginchaug presented in the last flight. In the afternoon, the top four teams were announced and they presented their oral presentations one last time to all of the teams and judges. Being able to see the presentations of the top four teams proved to be a valuable learning experience for our team. The top two oral presentations by the Missouri and Pennsylvania teams were jaw-dropping impressive. Missouri went on to win the national title. The Coginchaug Envirothon team represented Connecticut proudly and were grateful for the chance to learn more about another area of our country and meet people from all over North America that are interested in environmental topics. The team is losing three key seniors, but juniors Sawicki and Zhou both are looking forward to joining junior Troy Willis
