Solar farm project defeated By Mark Dionne Town Times
Opposition to a proposed solar farm at Haddam Quarter Road and Brick Lane in Durham defeated the project on March 9, when the Board of Selectmen voted 2-1 against approving the contract. The contract vote, originally scheduled for the BOS meeting on March 2, had been delayed after neighbors repeated their complaints about the project’s location and also raised questions about the contract with Green Skies, the private company that would run the solar farm.

Firefighters rescue calf from collapsed barn By Charles Kreutzkamp Town Times
A farm in Middlefield raising beef cows had “quite a bad day,” when the roof of a barn collapsed, said Triangle A Farm manager Margaret Schaulis. “It came flat down from the weight of the snow,” Schaulis said. The Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department See Firefighters / Page 9

Crowd swarms to CVEF Trivia Bee By Mark Dionne Town Times
The Coginchaug Valley Education Foundation held its 2015 Trivia Bee on March 6, bringing 26 creatively costumed teams to Strong school to compete and raise money for educational initiatives. Wearing black robes, yellow hats, and sunglasses, “The Bee Attitudes,” a team from The Church of the Epiphany consisting of Chris Balay, Dan Shoemaker, Patricia Dynia, Thomas Kannam and David Turley took home the championship. It was largely the same team that won in 2013, the last time CVEF held a Trivia Bee. The Trivia Bee consists of four “swarms” or heats. Teams were grouped into swarms with themes like school faculty, student teams, civic groups, and businesses and friends. The
winner of each swarm then competed in a final swarm for the championship. The surprise of the evening came during the student swarm when five students, four in the sixth grade and one younger, from the Independent Day School in Middlefield beat four teams consisting of high school students and moved on to the final round. The team, called “Are You Smarter than a Sixth Grader?” became crowd favorites. At the start of the swarm, the audience serenaded team member Francesca Antonopoulos of Durham, celebrating her 12th birthday. The crowd, including the other student teams, later gave the team a standing ovation when it won its swarm by correctly answering a question about the year of the Wright brother’s first flight (1903). “Are You Smarter than a
Sixth Grader?” did well enough in the championship swarm to finish runner-up to “The Bee Attitudes.” Strong School Media Specialist Michael Klimas emceed the event, reading the rules – including the last one to the large crowd, “Do not shout out the answers” – and the questions. Several questions had a local flavor, including the number of cemeteries in Durham (three), the name of Durham’s last two dairy farms (Greenbacker and Deerfield), and the name of Powder Ridge’s mountain (Beseck). The questions ranged over a variety of subjects. Contestants did well to know that the name of Ahab’s ship in “Moby Dick” is The Pequod, the current world record for running the mile is 3:43 (contestants had See Trivia / Page 4

Jeff Johnson is the owner of Connecticut Ink, a tattoo shop located at 482 Meriden Road in Middlefield, near Guida’s Restaurant. The business has been open for five years and Johnson has been in the industry for 20, making stops along the way in Florida, Vermont and throughout Connecticut. Town Times asked Johnson some questions about his experience in the tattoo business. What makes you stand out as a tattoo artist? My style. Everyone has their own. Personally, I love my people. They have my phone number and I try to keep it personal. I get many friendships from my work. I put my clients at ease. Customer service is important. If they [clients] have questions, I answer them. The environment is relaxed. You fit in with us. There are no attitudes. Unfortunately, in the tattoo business, there is a lot of arrogance. What do you think about all the different tattoo real-
ity TV shows? I watched a few episodes of “Miami Ink” and it reminded of work. But I hear about it all the time from my customers. It’s cool because they get some ideas about what our business is like and what they want as a consumer. What is your advice for anyone getting a tattoo for the first time? Go somewhere clean, sterile. Look at the artist’s photos [of their work]. Feel comfortable with the person. What is the age of the youngest and the oldest person you have tattooed? The youngest was 16, and that is lowest age by law which you can do. The oldest person I ever tattooed was in their late 70s. I also had a World War II veteran a few years ago that I put an eagle on his chest. Have you ever tattooed anyone famous? I pierced Dee Snider’s nose. He was a radio DJ, movie actor and former lead singer of the 80s band Twisted Sister. What was your strangest tattoo experience? When I was tattooing a girl one time on her hip, her

Opinion Letters to the Editor Fulfill Ray’s wish To the editor: Durham is fortunate. The town has a small, developing forest. It is just to the east of our northern Main Street commercial area, and runs from Haddam Quarter Road, southerly. Being “green” it offers oxygen for our lungs, and cheer for our souls. This land was offered as a gift. Before the town’s vote to accept the gift, then-First Selectman Ray Kalinowski stated that it was to be accepted for open space. Durhamites, please ask our selectmen to honor Ray’s wish. Once lost to a “solar farm” or other commercial use, this forest can never be replaced. Howard B. Field III Durham
Delivering thanks
To the editor: What a winter. We are all a bit worse for wear, given the endless snow and cold. None worse, perhaps, than my mailbox. It has been battered, bashed and buried again and again, and yet – miraculously – our wonderful mailman continues to deliver. There is no possible way he can pull in front of our mailbox at the moment. We have dug, dug and dug again to keep the snow and ice cleared, but it has been, for the most part, a losing proposition. Which makes it that much more remarkable that our mailman has delivered our mail anyway – sometimes snow-covered, other times a bit damp, but, nonetheless, in our box, each and every day. We thank him! We thank the USPS and the Durham Post Office, too. (And we hope to uncover our mailbox once and for all in the very near future.) Betsy White Booz Durham

Spilling the beans There may have been a time or two when I woke up on the wrong side of the bed (Only a time or two, mind you!) And, oh yes, I have spilled the beans, and a lot more than a time or two. And who hasn’t sweat bullets as a school child, praying, praying, praying that the teacher would not call on you next and then – yes, the bell, and you have just received a pardon. I’ve been known to let my hair down. Way down. I imagine there are people who would say I’m no spring chicken – you know who you are!, and that would just rub me the wrong way. We’ve all grown up with these sayings, but did you ever wonder from whence they came? I did an Internet search for some answers. Waking up on the wrong side of the bed; meaning: waking up in a bad mood The left side of the body or anything having to do with the left was often associated with things considered to be sinister. To ward off evil, innkeepers made sure that the left side of the bed was pushed against a wall, so that guests could only get up on the right side of the bed. Spill the beans; meaning: to reveal a secret In ancient Greece beans were used to vote for candidates for various organizations. One container was set out for each candidate, and voters would put in it a white bean if they were for the contender and a black bean if they weren’t. If someone accidentally knocked over a jar, all the beans would be in full view, thus allowing everyone to see the otherwise confidential votes. Saved by the bell; meaning: rescued from an unwanted situation Being buried alive was once a common occurrence. People, therefore, often elected to be buried in special coffins that were connected to a bell that was above ground. At night, guards listened for any bells, and would then save the person by digging them up. Let your hair down; meaning: to relax or be at ease
Parisian nobles risked condemnation from their peers if they appeared in public without an elaborate hairdo. Since some of these “dos” required hours of work, it was a relaxing ritual for these aristocrats to come home at the end of a long day and let their hair down. No spring chicken; meaning: someone who is past his or her prime This saying originated in New England, back in the day when chickens came from free-range family farms with no incubators or warm hen houses, and so baby chicks couldn’t be hatched or raised in the winter. The prime price for chickens sold during the summer was for those born the previous spring. Some unscrupulous farmers, however, tried to sell their old birds for the price of a young spring chicken. Shrewd shoppers caught on, maintaining that the fowl before them was “no spring chicken,” or not as young as what was being presented to them. Rub the wrong way; meaning: to irritate, bother, or annoy someone In colonial America servants were required to web-rub and dry-rub the oakboard floors each week. Rubbing against the grain caused streaks to form, which irritated the homeowner. So tomorrow I will be sure to exit my bed on the right side, lest I draw to myself any unsavory elements. Hopefully, at any time during the day I will not be spilling the beans, and if I do, my apologies to all involved. Letting my hair down – oh, I’ve got this one (stand back!) I will, however, be ending the day as even less of a spring chicken than when I started it, but if you don’t bring that to my attention, you will not rub me the wrong way. And if you hear my bell – and let’s hope I am not in the unfortunate situation that requires me ringing one – please come get me.

power as a clean, cheap, and low-impact energy source. The often rancorous discussion over the solar farm was noted at the meeting. Over the course of the project, members of different committees have had their motivations or ability to serve impartially questioned. “The public outcry about this has been vast ... the tenor and the tone has become somewhat disturbing and that’s bothered me more than anything,” Levy said. Francis said, “The biggest thing that I regret is that the
public discussion has moved off the topic of policy to political and personal attacks.” Francis said she would continue to work with the task force to explore state and federal energy savings program. “We owe that to our taxpayers and we owe that to future generations.” Reacting after the meeting, Marie Wilde of Haddam Quarter Road said, “I’m very pleased that the Board of Selectmen listened and Dr. Levy took the time to research his questions and came to the conclusion that he did.”

as Francis asked the audience to limit themselves to new comments. Bruce Olivieri of Brick Lane said that the neighborhood’s property values would go down while a private company profited. “Green Skies is going to have free land for 20 years, tax-free, and they’re going to stand to make a million off of us,” Olivieri said. Joe Pasquale said a project of this size should have the support of the neighbors and all the selectmen. Rick Parmelee and Lucy Meigs spoke in favor of solar

Under the terms of the project, Durham would have purchased electricity generated from solar power at a reduced rate for up to 10 municipal and public safety accounts for 20 years. The project faced consistent and often heated opposition from residents who live near the site, which is owned by the town but not reserved as open space. Selectman Steve Levy became the decisive vote on March 2 after Selectman John Szewczyk read a statement opposing the project and the contract. Levy told the audience of about 20 residents that he had listened to a lot of community feedback, from both sides, and given the matter a lot of thought. “I think the town of Durham should pursue clean energy ... while the solar farm is a great idea, Haddam Quarter Road and Brick Lane is a bad location, so I will vote no,” Levy said. Saying she was disappointed, Durham First Selectman Laura Francis said, “I supported this project because it would have resulted in an energy cost savings. I also supported this project because it is consistent with the town of Durham in the sense that we value low impact development and conservation of natural resources. This project was in alignment with our clean energy pledge and the sentiments of many of our residents.” For the official vote on the contract, Francis voted yes and Levy and Szewczyk voted no. If the agreement had cleared the BOS, the project would have also had to go before the Inland Wetlands Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Szewczyk reiterated his previously stated objections both to the project and to the contract. Szewczyk said that
the project did not belong near residents and that the contract exposed Durham to tax liability risk. According to the proposed contract, Green Skies is exempt from town taxes and the town has to assume the risk if future taxes are imposed on the solar farm. Francis called the contract’s language “pretty standard” and noted that similar contracts had been approved unanimously by the board. Public comment lasted only 20 minutes, shorter than most solar farm discussions,

Kimber is a 4-year-old domestic long hair girl. She loves attention, loves to be petted, is playful and probably will snuggle with you at night. She would do fine with a non-dominant cat, but would also love to be the only pet, if possible. She needs some help losing weight, so may need special food. No children.

1973 to 1977. Reg was a parishioner of Notre Dame Church. Reg loved family gatherings, especially at Christmas time. He was famous for his ‘Reggie salad”. He was known for his kind spirit and gentleness. Reg always had a smile, a joke or a helping hand. Reg was a fan of John Wayne, Elvis, reading, photography, eagles and NASCAR, especially Jeff Gordon and Joey Lagano. He enjoyed many years of traveling with his wife Deb to Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, Bahamas, Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama Canal, Disney and all over the U.S., especially the Western U.S. One of his favorite trips was to Ireland where he visited the locations of the filming of the John Wayne movie “Quiet Man”.

Girls season ends; boys bounced from SLC By Alan Pease
The 16thseeded Coginchaug girls basketball team hosted 17th-seed Plainfield on Wednesday, March 4 in a first-round Class M state tournament game. Unfortunately, the game proved to be the local girls’ last, as the Devils fell to Plainfield by a score of 49-36. Coginchaug ended the regular season with a 12-8 record, advancing to both the Shoreline tournament and getting a home game in the state Class M tournament. They, unfortunately, lost both of those opening games, ending the season at 12-10. The Coginchaug boys advanced to the second round of the Shoreline tournament, where they traveled to Old Lyme. Their SLC run ended with a 66-40 loss.
The game started badly for the Devils, as they fell behind 7-0, and trailed by 10 points after one period. The deficit increased to 16 points at the half. Coginchaug got back within 11 points entering the final frame, but Old Lyme put the pedal to the metal, and finished with the large margin of victory. Devin Rodrigue led the locals with 14 points and 16 rebounds, and Cam Powers helped with 11 points. Zach Terrill scored six, Conor Doyle five and Josh Smith four to round out the scoring. The Devils did out-rebound Old Lyme, by a 37-28 margin, but poor overall shooting did them in, as the shot only 28 percent from the field as compared to 52 percent for Old Lyme.
