Confederate dispute mostly quiet at fair By Mark Dionne Town Times
The controversy surrounding the booking of Confederate Railroad, a band that has used the Confederate flag as part of its designs, for a headlining gig surfaced sporadically if mostly quietly at the 96th annual Durham Fair. Playing on the Main Stage on Sunday at 2 p.m., the band displayed no Confederate-emblazoned clothing, logos, or flags. In the far southeastern corner of the Main Stage hill, one lone Confederate flag flew on the fence between

For Coginchaug Regional High School teachers Dean Coutsouridis and Lisa Larsen, who are retiring at the end of this school year, the 96th annual Durham Fair marked the last time they would bring their performing groups to the fairgrounds. After the last performances, Coutsouridis and Larsen were honored by the town and the fair and then were treated to a surprise performance. CRHS groups have been regular performers at the Durham Fair for years. This time around, Coutsouridis, the band teacher, brought the Dixieland Jazz Band and the Coginchaug Jazz Band while Larsen, the chorus teacher, brought the Show Choir and the boys’ a cappella group No

the Durham Fair Association property and a Main Street property. There were no Confederate flags in the audience and only a couple of Confederate flag images on t-shirts. The band had been asked not to display the Confederate flag or sell merchandise with Confederate images due to the sensitive and potentially provocative issue. There were also no anti-Confederate flag protesters at the show. The Confederate flag has often been a controversial issue. It surged in popularity See Confederate / Page 4

Refund and the girls a cappella group Nothin’ But Treble. The different groups performed as one block of local entertainment on Thursday and Friday night and late Saturday morning. The teachers made no direct acknowledgment that the visit was the last. At the end of the band’s Saturday performance, Coutsouridis, known as “Couts,” thanked the fair for supporting high school music and said, “I hope the tradition continues.” Coutsouridis also recorded the band’s last song, “Gonna Fly Now,” which he said was a favorite of past visiting musician Maynard Ferguson. Durham Fair Association President Dan Miramant and DFA Entertainment Coordinator Wendy Manemeit presented Larsen and CoutSee Teachers / Page 2

A gathering of current and alumni CRHS students get ready to sing Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” to band teacher Dean Coutsouridis, first from left, and chorus teacher Lisa Larsen, fifth from left, to mark the retiring teachers’ last appearance at the Durham Fair. Memorial school band teacher Tim Fisher, at microphone, and other District 13 music teachers, hidden behind the chorus, prepared the song in secret. | Mark Dionne / Town Times

Teachers the audience were given lyric sheets and invited onstage to participate. The Saturday show often attracts band and chorus alumni who are home from college, and many took to the stage to sing. According to Fisher, although the presence of so many music teachers in one audience was unusual, Coutsouridis and Larsen were surprised. Coutsouridis watched and recorded the song while Larsen participated. Larsen joined District 13 in 1978 and Coutsouridis joined two years later in 1980.

souridis plaques and thanked them for their years of bringing music to students and students to the fair. Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Veronesi also thanked the teachers. “The mark of a great educator is that their legacy lives on,” Veronesi said. After a proclamation from First Selectman Laura Francis was read by BOE and DFA member Norm Hicks, District 13 music teachers got on stage for the final surprise. Memorial band teacher Tim Fisher conducted Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” with a band featuring Brewster/Korn music teacher Tiger Robison on bass guitar, Strong band teacher Steve Fitzgerald on alto saxophone, Memorial chorus teacher Allen Schulenburg on trumpet, Lyman and Strong music teacher Mike Meurs also on trumpet, and retired CRHS band teacher Bruce Schmottlach on keyboards. Vocals were provided by current and alumni Show Choir and band members. The song was chosen for its sentiment and because Larsen and Coutsouridis are both Sinatra fans. “It was the perfect song and the perfect fit,” said Fisher after the show, who had an arrangement made for the occasion that he plans to give to the two teachers. The band rehearsed in secret at Memorial school. The music teachers played their instruments with different levels of experience and comfort. Fisher said, “The music teachers were
great models for the students on how to learn music.” After the concert, Meurs said, “It was wonderful how we as a music staff could get together and put something like this together for Lisa and Dean. They have done so much for the fair, and the music program, that it was a fitting send off.” The Show Choir rehearsals were even more secretive as they took place at the fair. On Thursday and Friday, Fisher gathered Show Choir members in an out of the way place on the fairgrounds to learn the song. “They were like professionals,” Fisher said of the group’s ability to rise to a challenge. The last surprise, alumni joining in, was even a surprise to the performers. Alumni of CRHS music programs in

in the 1950s and 60s, a time of Civil War centennials and backlash against the Civil Rights movement. It also grew in popularity among some country and Southern rock bands. Confederate Railroad’s association with the flag of the slave-holding states bothered some in Durham who expressed themselves in letters, conversations, phone calls, and meetings. The question of the Confederate flag’s meaning returned to prominence after nine African-Americans were murdered in a South Carolina church by a white supremacist. The show had a notable police presence with several State Troopers near the stage and police on bicycles in the area. Opening with their 1994 song “Elvis and Andy,” Confederate Railroad played a long set that also featured fan-favorites “White Trash with Money” and “Trashy Women.”
For a headlining show, the crowd was not large. At any point of the show, spectators could easily get next to the stage. Though small, the crowd cheered enthusiastically for the band and for lead singer Danny Shirley’s introductions. Near the end of the show, Shirley thanked the fair for having the band. Normally they would have merchandise for sale, Shirley joked, but with the Confederate flag controversy, they were all sold out. The joke drew applause from the audience as the band started “Trashy Women,” one of their biggest hits. “This Northern hospitality is pretty darn good,” said Shirley after the song, who added that since the band was heading back South they wanted to finish the show with a cover of Lynyrd Skynrd’s Southern-pride hit “Sweet Home Alabama.” Ironically, Lynyrd Skynyrd in recent years has distanced itself from the flag. In 2012, founding member Gary Rossington told CNN that the band would no longer display the flag at its concerts. After a fierce and hostile backlash from fans, the band brought the flag back for smaller appearances on stage but

stopped using it as a giant backdrop. Over the weekend, it was easy to spot more Confederate flags at the fair outside the Confederate Railroad show. Several people showed up, possibly coincidentally, with t-shirts emblazoned with the image. One man walked around the Durham Fair wearing the Confederate flag as a cape. Confederate flag t-shirts and banners were for sale on the midway and in the commercial building. There were less than a dozen anti-Confederate flag protesters outside the fair on the Durham Post Office lawn briefly on Sunday, Sept. 27, chanting and holding signs. The controversy showed up in the Art Building as well. Paul Bergenholtz, of Durham, submitted a picture to the photography department of Durham’s memorial to the town’s Civil War dead. Karen Bergenholtz submitted a sculpture of a twisted railroad and train wreck, which sported the names of Durham’s Civil War dead and a second place ribbon. Religious activists were also present over the fair weekend, handing out pamphlets inside the fairgrounds and Bibles on Main Street.

The Durham 60+ Club recently inducted the new slate of officers for 2015-2016: Janet Moore, treasurer; Sue Giuffrida, president; Jean Stierle, treasurer and Mary Ellen Dontigney, vice-president.
On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare into law with these words: “No longer will older Americans be denied the healing miracle of modern medicine. No longer will illness crush and destroy the savings that they have so carefully put away over a lifetime.” For 50 years, the Medicare program has provided essential health care services for millions of people who are age 65 or older, disabled, or have debili-
tating diseases. Without Medicare, many people would not be able to pay for hospital care, doctor’s visits, medical tests, preventive services, or prescription drugs. Your Medicare card is the most important piece of identification you own as a

Opinion Letters to the Editor Vote Bailey To the editor: Watching the national government come to a standstill over issues is disheartening. There is too much politics and bickering in Washington and nothing gets done. In Middlefield, we have the opportunity to elect a First Selectman who, when elected, will hit the ground running – Ed Bailey. Ed served six years as Selectman and many more years on boards and commissions working famously with R’s and D’s alike. He knows our town inside and out and his experience and bipartisanship will benefit us all. Ed Bailey knows the job at town hall and he will hit the ground running on Nov. 3. Please vote for Ed Bailey, First Selectman. Rich Rynaski Rockfall
Join me To the editor: My dedication is to the people of Middlefield and Rockfall. My major goals as First Selectman of Middlefield are to be accessible, listen to every person and to be transparent. These attributes have dissipated over the course of the last few years. Of course, I will be working overtime for the people of Middlefield and Rockfall every day. I will be available to people when they most need it, including after work. As a town, we need the support of Hartford and Washington. As John Donne once said: “No man is an island.” We don’t need any more islands. Come. Join me. Peter Neidhardt Candidate for First Selectman
Peter is your man To the editor: Middlefield! Vote for Peter Neidhardt on Nov. 3. If you
want a person who will actively oversee the operations of the town, Peter is your man. How do I know this? For 30 years he was responsible for multi-state projects at Eversource Energy Company. Middlefield has many component parts, including Boards, employees, concerned citizens, economic development, and the law. A leader has to be aware of these components and assure that each one operates efficiently and accurately. Peter has overseen this process in business and he can do it in town government.

I brought home my own “feather kit,” but my cats kept snacking on the feathers, making it such a sad-looking tree. April 30 is Walpurgis Night, a time for celebrating spring.

Clarification needed
To the editor: Clarification is needed on two important points mischaracterized by Mr. Johnson in his recent letter. Though he says he is an Independent, in fact, he is a petitioning candidate, not an endorsed candidate of the Independent Party, a political party in Connecticut. As a registered Democrat, he would be elected as such. Additionally, while the Middlefield DTC nominating committee did invite him to interview, he declined, though he said he would take an endorsement if given. Our endorsements are earned not given. Peter Neidhardt earned our endorsement for First Selectman and is the best choice to move our community forward. Allison Dodge Town Chair, Middlefield Democratic Town Committee

Carr haven’t seen anything until you’ve watched Donald Duck squawking away in Swedish. Tomte, who lives in the forest and closely resembles our Santa Claus, pops in on Christmas Eve. He never has to worry about fitting down the chimney because he walks through the front door, delivering presents to the children. No quick getaway for the ‘ol boy, though – he gets around in a sleigh pulled by reindeer that don’t fly. My son and I spent one Christmas Eve at the home of
his former host family (Ryan had been an exchange student), and though there were no children in the house, the father wanted to show this Yank how Christmas is done in his country. He had stashed a sack full of presents in the barn, and when I saw Per approaching the house with his flashlight and his sack slung over his shoulder-well, I was five years old again, and thrilled beyond measure. The tradition I love the most, though, is name day. Each day of the year has
a name assigned to it, and on your day, you get to be treated as if it was your birthday. So Ludvig, if you’re out there, Oct. 2 is your day. Evald, I hope you will be getting breakfast in bed on your day, Oct. 3. And Frans, your day is Oct. 4, and I’m guessing we shouldn’t wait up for you. Party hearty, boys! Diana Carr, a resident of Durham, is a certified life coach who was trained by Martha Beck. You can e-mail her at princessdi7@sbcglobal. net.

friend told me that the custom was to remain perfectly quiet all the while, but I have a suspicion they made that part up. JULY July is a quiet month, festivity-wise, as most people are on vacation. Swedes get five weeks of vacation a year. Oh, to be Swedish, huh? At least in the summer. AUGUST Most of the month is devoted to crayfish parties. They’re usually held outdoors and are illuminated by paper lanterns. Along with the hearty helpings of crayfish, you will also find a good supply of bread, cheese, beer, and schnapps. Schnapps sounds good. SEPTEMBER September is a quiet month, and a good time to simply enjoy the autumn colors. OCTOBER Halloween is a relatively new celebration, and most Swedes do not remember the exact date. My son has told me that every year trick-or-treaters knock on his door, but it’s rarely on Oct. 31. I guess they just head out every day, hoping that one of those days is actually Halloween and they will finally be rewarded for their efforts with a boatload of confections. NOVEMBER All Saints’ Day is Nov. 1. Families light candles and place flowers and wreaths on the graves of loved ones. Nov. 11 is St. Martin’s Day (Marten Gas), with banquets of goose being served in both homes and restaurants. For centuries the day was important to farmers for marking the end of the autumn’s work and the start of winter activities. I do not eat goose. I would like to celebrate the end of any kind of work, however. DECEMBER Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. Windows are filled with lighted candles that are placed in the traditional four-candled holders. The 13th marks the St. Lucia celebration. It is an honoring of that saint, and it
is a beckoning of the sun to return. In the towns, schools, and churches there are processions of girls dressed in white gowns and red sashes, wearing crowns of battery-operated candles (which have replaced real candles). Needless to say, abandoning the use of fire was a stellar idea. Singed hair is never attractive. On Dec. 24 at 3:00, nearly every television in Sweden is tuned to Donald Duck cartoons. I’ve been there for that, and let me tell you, you

the phone — in about 30 days. Fifty years ago, Medicare didn’t have as many options as it does today. As the largest public health program in the United States, Medicare includes four parts to keep you covered: Part A is insurance that covers inpatient hospital stays, outpatient care in nursing facilities, hospice, and home health care. Part B includes medical insurance for doctor’s services, medical supplies, outpatient care, and preventive services. Part C is a Medicare advantage plan that allows you to choose your health care coverage through a provider organization. You must have Part A and Part B to enroll in Part C. This plan usually includes Medicare prescription drug coverage and may include extra benefits and services at an additional cost. Part D is prescription drug coverage. There is a separate monthly premium for this plan; however, people with low resources and income may qualify for the Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs from Social Security. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ prescriptionhelp to see if you qualify. A recent survey to Medicare beneficiaries asked: Why do you love Medicare? One person stated, “It gives peace of mind not only for seniors, but for veterans and disabled as well.” Another satisfied recipient replied, “I most likely wouldn’t be alive today without Medicare.” These are just two of the millions who endorse Medicare’s half-century strong success story. For more information about Medicare, visit www. medicare.gov. As Medicare celebrates 50 years, Social Security commemorates 80 years. Learn more about Social Security’s 80th anniversary at www.socialsecurity. gov/80thanniversary. The writer is the Social Security Public Affairs Specialist in New Britain.

Looking to bounce back from two tough losses to begin the year, the Devils wasted no time. Following a strong defensive stand to start the game, Coginchaug’s offense promptly went down the field on a full run attack before Parker Tregoning found the end zone with a 10-yard scamper to give the Devils a 6-0 lead. Tregoning quickly found the end zone again. Following a Wes Benjunas interception to give the visitors good field position, Tregoning scored from 12 yards out and added the two-point conversion to give Coginchaug a 14-0 lead.

THE FAIR BEGINS After all the planning and anticipation, the 96th Durham Fair kicked off Thursday, Sept. 24, and the weather was fine. Checking out the exhibits in the Youth Building is a family affair for the Kaliszewski sisters. From left, there’s Mary, Julia, Sara and Paige.
Members of the CRHS Show Choir, from left, Brian Jubilirer, Michael Brady, Tom Seibert and Stephan Marchuk sing “Poisin Ivy” at the first of their three shows.
