2.96 percent budget increase proposed By Mark Dionne Town Times

On Feb. 11, Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Veronesi presented the administration’s proposed 2015-16 budget to the Board of Education. The topic of declining enrollment surfaced several times during the presentation. “We’re losing students at a rapid rate,” Veronesi said, pointing to a projected 35 percent drop in enrollment from 2008 to 2025. According to Veronesi and BOE member Bob Fulton, who chairs the Building Utilization Committee, See Budget / Page 4

Dogs back home after harrowing three-day jaunt By Charles Kreutzkamp Town Times

“Homeward Bound Extreme” is how Durham resident Kerri King described the incredible journey of her two dogs, Carl and Lincoln, who lost their way for three days in extreme cold before making it safely home. At noon on Friday, Jan. 30, King saw dog tracks heading off into the woods, toward Guilford, apparently following what her husband thinks may have been a See Dogs / Page 6

Snow removal exhausts school funds By Mark Dionne Town Times

Although the winter started off mildly enough, the repeated snowfall of the past month has proven to be deeper than the funds allocated for snow removal in Regional School District 13’s 2014-15 budget. The school district is responsible for clearing snow from all the school parking lots and walks, as well as Pickett Lane in Durham. With deep snow and many flat roofs, the district also often removes snow from the roofs of school buildings and portables. The 2014-15 budget dedicated $50,000 to snow removal. As district Business Manager Ron Melnik told the Board of Education at its Feb. 11 meeting, that budget line looked healthy in January, but has since been depleted. “We’ve had five snow days so far and none of them have been small,” Melnik told the

BOE. “We also had a very icy day.” Once it started snowing without warming up, the district worked to clear some roofs, including the occasionally leaky one at Brewster School. “We are going to over-expend this account, I’m sure,” Melnik said. The district does not stop plowing and shoveling once it goes over budget, but has to

budget the funds from a different line. The expense for snow removal is variable and this will be the third consecutive year snowfall has exhausted that budget line. In 2013-14, the district spent approximately $77,000. In 2012-13, about $88,000 was needed for snow removal, but one year before the district spent about $21,000, or less than one quarter the amount.

Budget From Page 1

5023-01

the BOE will investigate the possibility of closing Korn Elementary School after the 2016-17 school year. BOE members have indicated a preference for reconfiguration to two K-5 elementary schools, one 6-8 middle school, and one high school, which would eventually close two schools. The impact of declining enrollment moves from the younger grades to the older grades and previous staff reductions have largely followed that trend, occurring mostly at the elementary level. Spending in the proposed budget is increased by 2.54 percent, but a decline in revenue brings the net proposed increase to 2.96 percent over the current year’s figure. As Business Manager Ron

Melnik reminded the BOE, the 2014-15 budget was an increase of 1.74 percent over the 2013-2014, which was a 1.07 percent increase over the previous year. The budget proposal, designed by Veronesi with administrator’s input, opened with the motto “Sustain, Strengthen, Prepare” and a photo montage of district student activities. Veronesi said, “As we head into next year, we’re looking to sustain our good work, strengthen what we’re doing, and really prepare for a future that we think is going to look quite different.” Cuts and savings Among the staff reductions in the proposed budget are 5.5 teaching positions and one support staff. Following the trend of declining enrollment hitting the elementary schools first, the reductions are concentrated in the younger grades with the proposed reduction of the kindergarten teachers from seven to six, one elementary teacher at Lyman, one elementary teach at Brewster, and one sixth grade science teacher at Memorial. Teaching cuts in the budget also include one special education teacher and a net loss of .5 of a position in English

at Coginchaug Regional High School. According to Veronesi, all but one of those cuts would happen through retirement. Other savings in the budget come from a restructuring of employee health benefits. According to Melnik, moving half of the teachers, all of the administrators, and other employees to a high deductible plan with Health Savings Accounts saved the district approximately $550,000. The district also locked in lower prices for diesel fuel and heating oil for a savings of approximately $131,000 and converted the bus lease to a longer span for a savings of almost $60,000. Additions and increases The budget allocates $100,000 to pay for a state trooper as a District-wide School Resource Officer. The trooper would spend approximately 42 weeks in the schools and the rest of the time in Durham. According to Veronesi, Durham would need to budget $30,000 to cover the rest of the costs. While saying “the world changed” after Newtown, Veronesi stressed that the School Resource Officer would not just be in response to that tragedy. The superintendent referred to sub-

stance abuse, school safety, and mental illness as areas where a School Resource Officer could help. The trooper “would be someone whose presence was known at every school on a weekly basis,” Veronesi said. “We have gotten so much more vigilant in terms of what we all do with environmental awareness, but we’re not experts.” BOE members, who were seeing the proposed budget for the first time, asked several questions about the trooper. BOE member Eileen Buckheit said, “I want to make sure that it’s the best use of our money” for security and safety. Other members asked about the training, job description, and the lines of communication and authority with a shared position. The proposed budget also adds a tech support position and creates a human resources position at Central Office. A .5 custodial posi-

tion is also added in the 201516 budget. Previous cuts in the custodial staff have put “stress and strain” in that area, according to Veronesi. The issue of declining enrollment shows up in the 2015-16 proposed expenses, including a $5,500 expenditure to update the demographic projections and an approximately $65,000 expenditure on an architectural and engineering plan to restructure the schools and bring the question to the towns. Other proposed additions include a continuation of the Chromebook program for incoming CRHS freshmen and an increase in the stipends for CRHS tennis, Strong school cross country, and Strong school’s athletic director. Board members took home “budget books,” slimmer than the three-inch binders of previous years, to prepare for the next BOE meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 25, 7:30 p.m., at Strong.

owners, called Dog Gone Recovery, reached out to King. Paskoski and King searched all day Jan. 31 and focused on putting posters up on Feb. 1. Others joined the search as well, coordinated through Facebook. Windchill Saturday, Jan. 31 brought temperatures down to as low as 25 below, Paskoski said, so she was very concerned about Carl and Lincoln. Paskoski explained that when dogs are lost, they can enter “survival mode,” and they will not respond to being called by their owners. The

best thing to do is to set up a feeding station to trap the dogs, who will act like wild animals until they have been brought home and cared for. On Jan. 31 word came from a neighbor that the dogs had been spotted in Durham. Paskoski showed King how to set up a feeding station. King was also advised to bring out the dogs’ bedding for a familiar scent and to barbecue bacon on the back porch to add another alluring smell. On Feb. 1 the temperature dipped to as low as 6 degrees Fahrenheit, not includ-

ing wind chill, as measured at Bradley airport. The dogs braved their way through the beginning of a blizzard and made it to the back door of the King home around midnight that night. Carl and Lincoln have been checked out by the vet and are going to be fine, King said, although Carl lost 15 pounds and Lincoln 13. Also, they both had injuries on their snouts and paws, and one had an injured leg. “No frostbite, amazingly enough,” King said. The dogs, she said, must have been constantly on the move to survive the freezing temperatures. She said the vet believes the dogs fought a coyote, or another wild animal, at one point during their trek. The thing that amazed King the most about the ordeal was the generous spirit of her neighbors. “I can’t get over what they did for me,” she said, especially Paskoski, who King credits for the canines’ safe return. Paskoski, who asked for nothing in return for her help, said that participating in dog rescues such as this one is something of a hobby. Nabbing a Chihuahua lost for 38 days with her bare hands was another of the many dramatic experiences she has had participating in dog rescues. Lost dogs often bring communities together, Paskoski said. “People will just drop everything… It proves to me there are truly kind people in the world.” As for White, when word came down that Carl and Lincoln made it home safe, “I was shocked and in tears,” she said. “My daughter and I were concerned all weekend, and we went looking for them Saturday afternoon.” GOT

David Goldner MIDDLETOWN — David Goldner, 84, of Middletown, died on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2015, after a brief illness. Born on Aug. 9, 1930, in Hartford, he was the son of the late Saul and Dorothy (Sullivan) Goldner. David graduated from Meriden High School in 1948 and then served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict. He subsequently enrolled in the Connecticut State Police Academy and served as a Connecticut State Trooper for 31 years, retiring in 1988. David went on to serve as a deputy sheriff for 13 years. He was a resident of Durham for many years prior to his move to Middletown. David is survived by his wife, Jolene (Mysling) Goldner; two sons, David Goldner, Jr., and Michael Goldner; his daughter, Karen Goldner Beckmann; and nine grandchildren. He was predeceased by his youngest son, Mark

Goldner. The family would like to extend a thank you to the staff at the Weiss Hospice and Palliative Care Unit and the Water’s Edge Center for Health and Rehabilitation for the wonderful care they provided David. A private graveside service will be held at the convenience of the family. At the request of David, there will be no calling hours. Doolittle Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. To share memories or send condolences to the Goldner family, please visit www. doolittlefuneralservice.com.

ly’s history, and her symptoms. A geneticist established that Roslyn’s symptoms were consistent with Ehlers-Danlos Sy n d r o m e , a mysterious disease that, like arthritis or multiple sclerosis, can appear differently in each patient and have different progressions of acuteness and stability. Ro s ly n b e g a n d i s p l ay ing symptoms when she was 12-years-old. EDS caused hypermobility, in which joints could slip out of place or dislocate and cause chronic pain. A secondary disorder was that heart rate could be elevated or lightheadedness could result from insufficient blood flow to the brain. For Roslyn, there was and is no such thing as a “little fall.” She could be severely injured from tumbling to the ground. A service dog could be trained to assist in many parts of her life. Thus far, some $15,000 has been raised toward the purchase of a service dog. Another $10,000 is needed. – Press Release

Rally for Roslyn March 28 Ro s ly n He l m edach speaks softly and sits quietly, but her message carries a big whallop. With her blonde hair and slim figure, she looks like a teenager who is ready to branch out and make her place in the world. And she wants to do that. But she needs a service dog to help her. A service dog could be trained to her circumstances and could help her navigate them. But such a dog doesn’t come easily. It costs about $25,000 to receive a dog and the training, and about $10,000 to have reserves for dog care. Ne i g h b o r s a n d community groups wish to assist Roslyn in acquiring funds to receive a service dog. A pasta dinner and silent auction is planned for March 28. This dinner will be held at the Middlefield Federated Church, where Roslyn’s family holds membership. The dinner will be prepared and served by members of a local group, the Middlefield/ Rockfall Democratic Town Committee. Tickets may be obtained by calling Anne Malcolm (860) 349-3845 or Lori Helmedach (860) 398-1026. Tickets can also be ob-

Birthday Month is almost here This is the time of year when I break out my Happy Dance. And as February disappears into March, that dance just keeps getting happier and happier. That’s right, my birthday is rolling around again. For you early shoppers, it’s March 29. I realize that people who have walked the earth as long as I have (I call these my Wisdom Years) are tempted to spend the day in bed with the covers pulled over their heads, and the birthday wishes are not music to their ears. Some people keep the whole affair on the down low. But not me. It is always a momentous occasion for me. This in spite of the fact that when I pass a mirror, I think, “Father Time, you rascal you, you have been having some laughs at my expense, haven’t you?” In spite of the fact that I woke up the other day and thought an alligator had

Durham and Middlefield to look like, to be like? Would we have more sidewalks? Would we like a year-round farmers market? Would we know our neighbors better? Would our kids learn more practical skills in school? Do we want to learn how to can vegetables, knit socks, cook more healthfully? What would your children like to see in our towns? Time for such deep imaginings may be a special gift of being snowbound, but they can also be nurtured on a community level. After all, it was real people who decided that they wanted to preserve the iconic look of Durham’s Main Street and formed a Historic District. It was real Middlefield people who voted to turn their abandoned school into a Community Center and to buy a closed skiing venue in order to save it for the future. It will be real people – our friends and neighbors and ourselves – who will decide if Durham hosts a solar farm to power town buildings into the future. Since we can’t count on being snowbound with our active imaginations forever – thank goodness! –

Coginchaug Area Transition (CAT) will be sponsoring a “spring into our future” celebration a few days after Earth Day on Sunday, April 26, from 3 to 6:30 pm. There will be ample time to explore and celebrate what we love about our towns, the individuals and organizations that give us our special identity, but also time to dream and imagine together what we would like our towns to be in the future. And we want imagineers of all ages to come and participate in the conversation. There will be music, food and one-of-a-kind awards. There will also be childcare for the really young. The snow will not be endless, for which we can be grateful, but we must never be afraid to unleash our imaginations to make the world – and especially our little corner of it – a better place. For further information, feel free to contact any member of the CAT steering group – Joanne Nytch, Carol Bufithis, Nancy Winship-Poole, Jen Huddleston, Jen Kleindeinst, Deb Norko, Kathy Weber, Lorrie Martin, Laura Francis, and myself.

The Battle of the Brits: The Imitation Game vs. The Theory of Everything. Alan Turing, inventor of the computer, and Stephen Hawking, esteemed physicist, take science to a new level in their respective films. Both men are depicted on screen with profound act-

Coming of Age: Boyhood vs. Whiplash. Everyone loves a good coming of age story. Boyhood follows a young boy growing up over 12 years. The film follows the story of a divided household, oddly without a climactic plot. Instead, the film is more a reminder to live for the everyday moments. Whiplash, See Movies / Page 9

however, rocked me to the core as a music conservatory student answers his calling under the mentorship of a tyrannical instructor. The emotional zing goes to Whiplash, full out. WINNER: WHIPLASH Division 4. Odd Men Out: Birdman vs. The Grand Budapest Hotel. Idiosyncrasy is the name of the game, the Oscar game at least. Birdman tells the story of a former film superhero trying to resurrect his career against a backdrop of ego and mayhem. The Grand Budapest Hotel follows a self-centered concierge trying to save not only his career but his life in a cartoonish landscape of theft and manipulation. Both films color themselves in odd comedic flare but only one delivers the goods. WINNER: BIRDMAN The semi-finals American Sniper (Division 1) vs. The Imitation Game (Division 2). Both Chris Kyle and Alan Turing saved countless lives in times of war, and both deserve our gratitude.

pers as robots from previous years were. This Fullmetal Falcons’ current robot has a unique ability the team calls “the H drive.” In addition to four wheels positioned like a car’s, the robot has two interior wheels that allow the robot to strafe left and right.

on a new part, that was to arrive Feb. 16, that will resolve a problem with actuators. After that, the robot should become fully operational. Members of the team are traditionally divided into engineers and programmers, but another important role is that of fundraising, financing, and publicity. Kevin Iott of North Haven focuses on raising funds and donations of equipment. “Our major sponsor is UTC,” Iott said. United Technologies Corporation provided the majority of the funding this year, as well as providing staff who serve as mentors to the team. This is only the third year

of competition for the Fullmetal Falcons, who received funding from NASA during their first two years. NASA often helps fund teams as they get started, but after the first two years, teams are expected to fund themselves. Teams are also eligible for awards based on publicity and community outreach. According to the founder of FIRST Robotics, Dean Kamen, the competitions hope “To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders.” According to its web-

site, FIRST is a nonprofit founded in 1989 to “inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology.” New for the Fullmetal Falcons this year is a 3D printer that can create plastic parts for the robot, which team members described as “surprisingly strong.” The team was awarded the device, which arrived just a week ago, after a member entered an essay contest. The team planned to start practicing operating the robot this week. Their first competition will be held in Waterbury, Feb. 28, with another competition in Hartford March 28.

Another thing. My birthday is what New Year’s Day is to others. It’s a new lease on life. New energy. New dreams. Another chance to get it right this time. Or just let go of the struggle and see what happens, to trust that there is a benevolent force in the universe that has my back. I’ve been leaning toward the latter. My birthday has evolved into Birthday Month. One day of pulling out all the stops is just not enough for

me. So every one of those 29 days involves some celebration – of life, of me. Actually, I start buying things for myself in February, and sometimes in January, justifying them as early birthday presents. The Loreal commercials have been telling me for quite some time now that I’m worth it, and I have chosen to believe them. I know they’re talking hair color and I’m talking material goods, but I think we can make it work. March 29 (I’m going to repeat the date, just in case

it has slipped your mind) is pure magic for me, from start to finish. There’s always a walk on the beach, because I’m never happier than when I’m surrounded by surf and sand and seagulls. It’s where my Spirit goes to roost. And all day I am vigilant looking for signs that speak of the coming year. Find a penny– oh good, a year of prosperity. Find a feather – don’t be afraid to soar. An exceptional sunset – a beautiful year awaits me. The world and I are in

such deep communion. It’s breathtaking, really. I’d like to live like this all year long, but soon after the Big Day I always slide back into ordinary reality. The stagecoach turns back into a pumpkin, the horses revert back to mice, and the glass slippers come off. Until the next year, that is.

Quahog Bowl, buzzing in aggressively with a great deal of confidence about the material, according to Martin. “The 2015 Quahog Bowl was a great success,” said one of the Quahog Bowl’s coordinators, Diana Payne, who added that Coginchaug is just the second team in the Quahog Bowl’s 18-year history to take the title two consecutive years. Martin noted that the Quahog Bowl is only possible due to the generous support of sponsors and the efforts of 51 volunteer moderators, judges, and other support staff. “Year after year, they continue to set a remarkably high standard of good humor and good sportsmanship.” “I really have tremendous respect for all the teams we face at the Quahog Bowl,” she added. Martin said the National Ocean Sciences Bowl does “such a terrific job in preparing young and caring ocean leaders for the future, despite its continuing struggle for funding,” and that the organization relies on local sponsors.

Sports Girls split, rebound nicely Special to Town Times

Despite a heartbreaking Senior Night loss, Coginchaug managed to play to the tune of a 1-1 record last week. On Tuesday, Feb. 10, the boys hosted the Thunderbirds of North Branford, falling by a final count of 48-45. After a late North Branford basket tied the game at 44, the Devils came up short on their next possession as the T-Birds did not. Down 46-44, Coginchaug drew a foul on its next drive to the hoop, but only converted one to make it 46-45. Following two North Branford free throws, the Devils had three separate looks from downtown in the game’s waning seconds but failed to convert on any attempt.

The Devils held and impressive 15-4 advantage early in the contest before their offense fell flat. The Thunderbirds held a 25-21 halftime lead as well as a 35-32 lead after three quarters of play. Seniors Conor Doyle, Devin Rodrigue, Josh Smith, Zach Terrill and Zach Vallone were recognized before the game for their dedication during their time at Coginchaug. While Rodrigue was unable to play due to a sprained thumb, Doyle (17 points, 4 rebounds), Smith (9 points, 3 rebounds), Terrill (8 points, 5 rebounds) and Vallone (1 block, 1 rebound,1 assist) all contributed to the Devil effort. Also, Cam Powers added eight points, four assists, and one rebound for Coginchaug. On the unluckiest of days, Coginchaug rebounded on

Friday the 13th with a 49-44 win over Morgan. Holding only a slim 35-34 lead entering the final quarter of play, the Devils went on a 9-0 run in the fourth to extend their lead to 44-35. After withstanding a 7-4 run from Morgan, Coginchaug iced the game from the free-throw line to prevent a Husky comeback. Doyle led the way with 21 points, chipping in five steals, five rebounds, and one assist. Powers added 11 points, five rebounds, three steals and two assists. Terrill (7 points), Smith (4) and Wyskiel (4) were also crucial to the win. Rodrigue recorded one steal, as he is still working his way back to full health from injury. The Devils’ record stands at 10-7 overall and 8-7 in Shoreline conference play.

Despite a difficult loss on Senior Night, Coginchaug rebounded in impressive fashion to finish the week 1-1. The girls began their week with a difficult matchup against the undefeated Morgan Huskies on Wednesday, Feb. 11. As anticipated, the team fell behind early and never truly challenged the Huskies, losing 68-34. Morgan led 41-19 at the half. Larissa Cade led the Devils with 10 points while Margaret Bossie added nine and Alana Beckert scored three. Seniors Bossie, Naomi Rinaldo (3 points), Mikayla Wyskiel (2), Lena Huntington and Audrey Arcani were recognized before the game for their commitment to the Coginchaug basketball program throughout their high school careers. Sami Ashton led Morgan with 25 points as Kelsey Donaldson netted 12. Coginchaug got the best of North Branford in a Friday the 13th matchup, topping the Thunderbirds 54-47. The Devils held a 31-18 halftime advantage and led 43-24 after three quarters of play. Arcani, who was unable to play on Senior Night due to illness, rebounded nicely with

20 points to lead Coginchaug. Arcani also recorded three rebounds, two blocks, two steals, and two assists. Rinaldo also impressed, manufacturing 16 points, eight rebounds, three steals, one block, and one assist. Wyskiel scored seven points while adding a teamhigh seven assists and teamhigh four steals. Beckert and Cade each scored four points. Ashleigh Halligan added three. Sabrina LeMere dropped 25 points for the T-Birds, yet was the only North Branford player to reach double digits. The Lady Devils currently boast a record of 11-7 and 10-6 in Shoreline Conference play. While nothing is set in stone, the girls will most likely have first-round road games in both the Shoreline tournament and the Class M state tournament.
