Friedrich, Augur elected to Durham BOE By Mark Dionne Town Times
Victor Friedrich and Philip Augur were elected to the RSD13 Board of Education at Durham’s Annual Budget Meeting on Monday, May 9. Friedrich, a current member, and Augur, a new member, were elected to three-year terms ending June, 2018 unanimously and without opposition. Bob Moore, who, before the election, was the newest BOE member, nominated

After the meeting, Durham’s representation on the BOE consists of Friedrich, Augur, Moore, BOE Chair Kerrie Flanagan, Norm Hicks, and Francis Willet. The terms of Flanagan, Hicks and Moore are the next to expire, and will do so in June 2017.
Durham budget adopted amid procedural questions By Mark Dionne Town Times
At the Annual Budget Meeting on May 9, Durham adopted, through a vote of approximately 80 residents, a net budget of $5,539,244 without alterations. The budget expenditures total $6,933,635, a slight decrease from the current budget year’s figure of $6,984,272. Estimated state and local revenues of $1,394,391 for 2016-2017 are higher than the current year’s figure of $1,268,576. Almost all of the discussion during the budget portion of the meeting did not concern the budget itself but the process of bringing the budget to the meeting. On April 25 at the Board of Selectmen’s meeting, Durham issued its call to the Annual Budget Meeting. On May 3, between the call to
the meeting and the meeting, Durham’s Board of Finance met and moved funds between the reserve and a line for paramedic services. The shift did not change the bottom line of the budget but raised objections that the budget should not have been altered in this period. The BOF also had 2016-2017 “Elected Official Salaries” on its agenda, although BOF members said they took no action on that item. Selectman John Szewczyk objected to the process at the BOS meeting immediately before the Annual Budget Meeting. “I don’t understand why there were things done afterward,” he said. “If we are going to change what we sent [in the call], I’d like to be informed of it.” First Selectman Laura Francis said that the call issues a See Budget / Page A23

Support exists for budget among state Democrats, but details still under wraps Democrats say the week delay hasn’t changed their stance on a proposed package to close the looming $960 million deficit in next year’s budget. House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz, D-Berlin, said state agencies could recommend minor changes by shifting cuts from one line item to another, but Democrats stand by their “overall agreement” with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy. The plan that Democrats announced in conjunction with Malloy, ahead of the end of the legislative session last Wednesday, would cut spending by $825 million, with $136 million in revenues making up the difference. “I don’t think this is a good budget for the state of Connecticut,” Aresimowicz said. “It’s the right budget for the state of Connecticut.” He added the budget proposal is filled with “tough cuts.” While Democrats announced the agreement late on May 3, a little more than 24 hours before the end of session, a vote was put on hold after a bill detailing the revision couldn’t be written in time for substantive debate. Republicans say they still hadn’t received the budget Monday, May 9 even though the Senate is expected to return to the Capitol. If that happens, the House could vote on the plan as soon as Friday. Senate Minority Leader Leonard A. Fasano, R-North Haven, said Democrats are stalling on releasing the details because legislative leaders are worried about losing support from the rank-and-file. “One has to speculate the reason for the delay is letting out the knowledge of what’s in the budget,” Fasano said. Rep. Vincent J. Candelora, R-North Branford, shared the complaint. “It’s obvious to me that members of the General Assembly have no clue what’s in the budget,” he said.
Aresimowicz said the complaint is “premature” because Republicans will be able to review the full details of the plan at least a day before the special session, which has been standard practice for the legislature. Despite not viewing the full details of the plan, Fasano said Republicans have seen enough to know that they won’t support the package. Republican complaints include cuts to municipal aid — Meriden would lose $1.5 million, Wallingford $1.27 million, Southington $888,339, Cheshire $875,930, Berlin $531,307, North Haven $512,166 and Plainville $480,376. Fasano said other cuts of concern include $8.7 million in grants for mental health and addiction service programs and $43.4 million to hospitals, which amounts to a total loss of $130 million after factoring federal reimbursements. He questioned how Democratic rank-and-file lawmakers could voice support for those items without seeing the remaining package. “To the districts they represent, how is that even fair?” he asked. “It’s called just being a bunch of sheep, following the flock, the leader says you must vote for it, and they all get in a line and say, ‘OK. Might as well go ahead.’” Rep. Catherine F. Aber-
crombie, D-Meriden, agreed the cuts have resulted in an “ugly budget,” but said on-going negotiations have resulted in a package that is “very different than what the governor” proposed in early February. Abercrombie, herself a critic of Malloy’s past cuts in human service and hospital funding, said she is “proud of my leadership” for getting Malloy to consent to shifting $50 million in sales tax revenue destined for the Special Transportation Fund back to the budget. She also said increased insurance contributions from non-union employees and a reduced state workforce — all budget plans have relied on Malloy’s proposal to shed 2,500 positions next year — will produce savings in future years, when deficits are forecast to exceed $2 billion annually. Candelora, meanwhile, said he doesn’t think the state’s revenue figures — a consensus from Malloy’s budget office and the legislature’s nonpartisan analysts — are sound. He said the budget overall relies too heavily on one-time reve-
nues, as well as expectations for an additional $8 million in cigarette tax income and $40 million from settlements the attorney general’s office is negotiating. “It’s a budget to get us

Nuzzo is also working with Park and Recreation Director Sherry Hill on theme days like tricycle races and bubble day. At the Farmers Market on June 16, the Town Green will also host a kick off for the Durham Fair’s 100th anniversary celebration. According to Kim Terrill, a member of the Durham Fair Association and a Farmers Market vendor with Kim’s Cottage Confections,
the June 16 event will feature free food, including a pig roast, and entertainment from Bourbon Chaser and Jackson Hill. “We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the grange vote that decided there would be a fair,” Terrill pointed out. “The reason for the event is to thank the community for supporting the fair.” The Durham Farmers Market will take place Thursdays beginning at 3 p.m., until Sept. 8, on the Durham Town Green.

Spring and summer recreation safety advice from the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Company Now that the spring weather has finally arrived, it’s time to get outside and get active. In Connecticut, that means exploring the state’s various trails and waterways. While it’s easy to think of local firefighters as the men and women who rush to the scene of burning buildings and car accidents, volunteer firefighters train to operate search and rescue incidents as well and are frequently called upon when hikers are stranded and boaters and swimmers are missing. With the hope of preventing the need for such
rescue missions, the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Company is sharing some basic trail and waterway safety information. “Getting outside on a beautiful warm, sunny day for a hike or a day on the water is a great way to spend time with friends and family and make wonderful memories,” Middlefield Volunteer Fire Company Chief Peter Tyc said. “Yet, so often, those memories quickly turn sad or even tragic when appropriate planning and proper precautions are ignored.” Historically, Middlefield
has seen numerous falls and even fatalities resulting from people getting too close to the edge of cliffs and outcroppings. In addition, many local trails also have loose rock that can cause trips and falls. Tyc encourages hikers to use extreme caution. When it comes to hiking, the American Hiking Society offers advice that falls into three categories: Packing: The American Hiking Society’s website of-
fers a list of 10 essentials when going on a hike – it includes appropriate footwear, a map and compass or GPS, water, food, extra clothing, safety items (fire, light, whistle), first aid kit, knife, sunscreen, and a backpack. Planning: Before leaving for a hike, let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return. Look at a map before starting out. Stay “Found”: Know how
to use maps, compasses, and GPS and pay attention to trails. Should you become lost, make sure others can find you. Don’t panic – if you have prepared for your trip, you have everything you need and someone will know to look for you. Don’t wander – unless you are in danger, stay put so rescuers can find you. On waterways, whether swimming or boating, the

‘IRS’ phone scams on the rise Connecticut Better Business Bureau is seeing a peak in the number of telephone calls from frightened consumers who are victims of the “IRS Imposter” scam. The ruse involves telephone callers claiming to represent the Internal Revenue Service. The victims are told they owe money and must pay immediately or they will be arrested. “We are seeing a spike in the number of calls over the past several weeks from consumers who say they are being threatened by the callers, who demand immediate payment by an untraceable method, and
threaten them with arrest if they don’t,” according to Connecticut Better Business Bureau spokesman Howard Schwartz. Connecticut BBB has received several dozen calls about the IRS Scam in the past two weeks alone, and the number of calls from worried consumers continues to grow. The fake IRS calls have been rampant across the country. BBB now sees a significant number of Connecticut consumers being indiscriminately called. The criminals are known to ask for personal and financial information, in addition to leaving dozens of threat-
ening messages if nobody picks up the telephone. The IRS has more information on how the criminal scheme works and how to avoid it at www.consumer. ftc.gov/articles/0519-irs-imposter-scams-infographic. If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money and you don’t owe taxes, here’s what you should do: Do not give out any informa-
tion. Hang up immediately. Contact TIGTA to report the call. Use their “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting” web page or call 800-366-4484. Report it to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC. gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes. If you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040. — Press Release

Opinion
May is a good time for ‘compost awareness’ By Dawn Pettinelli Living more sustainably has become a goal to many individuals who recognize that the earth’s natural resources are finite. There are numerous ways to lessen our impact invoking the three Rs of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. One relatively easy method of recycling is composting. And now would be the perfect time to start as the first week of May highlighted the International Compost Awareness initiative. Composting is simply the controlled process of decomposition of organic materials. Decomposition
is a natural process. Any bit of plant or animal debris that falls upon the earth’s surface gets broken down and transformed by visible and microscopic creatures. Composting hastens this natural process by creating conditions that tend to accelerate natural decomposition the end result being a stable humus-like product that is a wonderful soil amendment. Up to one-third of a household’s waste could potentially be composted including food scraps, yard wastes and paper products. A 2010 CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection study,
state residents throw out 322,000 tons of food waste each year. Most of this is disposed of in landfills or by incineration. When landfilled, the buried food breaks down in an anaerobic environment and methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is produced. Composting, on the other hand, takes place in an aerobic environment and we are in charge of what organic materials go into the compost pile and for ensuring conditions are conducive for decomposition. Composting can be as simple or complex as one See Pettinelli / Page A11
Funds for police PTSD program gets support State Sen. Danté Bartolomeo (D-Meriden), who is the wife of a former police officer, recently voted in support of a bill that creates a fund to provide wage replacement for police officers who acquire post traumatic stress disorder in the line of duty. Senate Bill 210 establishes the Police Officer PTSD Program, which will be overseen by a commission of the same name. The fund will be used to provide wage replacement benefits to any police officer who takes leave from his or her employment due to PTSD, after a claim is approved by the commission. The bill essentially allows police officers to take the time to receive treat-
ment for a mental health condition acquired in the line of duty, just as they would for a physical injury. PTSD is defined by experts as a mental health condition that is triggered by either witnessing or experiencing a terrifying event. Symptoms can be life altering, and can include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts about the event. In order to qualify for wage replacement, a police officer must be diagnosed by a licensed mental health professional and have PTSD symptoms that originated from the officer visually witnessing the death of another person, or the im-
mediate aftermath of that death, while the officer was engaged in the line of duty. Claims will be paid through the collection of a $3 fee to be added to any fine stemming from a motor vehicle moving violation Depending on the severity of an individual officer’s disorder, police officers will be eligible to receive wage replacement on a weekly basis for up to 24 months, in addition to maintaining health and life insurance through their employer. The bill now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration. If passed, the fund would be established on Oct. 1 with claims reviewed beginning July 1, 2017. — Press Release
Sorry for driving so close I love reading bumper stickers. But since I am apparently one of the few people in this state who do not tailgate, I rarely get close enough to read them. My browsing time takes place when I am behind a car that is stopped at a red light. And yes, I do inch forward and get close on such occasions, so that I may partake of some light reading while waiting for the light to turn green. My bumper stickers read (I knew you were wondering!) “Angels believe in me” (I use that one to cover up a big scratch), “Follow your bliss,” “You had the power all along, my dear,” and “Something wonderful is about to happen.” Such grand advice, huh? I’m able to follow some of it, some of the time. I certainly like thinking that the angels believe in me, even when my behavior is less than stellar. I seem to be pretty good at following my bliss (Maybe a bit too good. I may need to put my nose to the grindstone just a tad more.) As for having the power all along – I need to remind myself of that at regular intervals (because sometimes it feels like life is batting me around like a cat bats around a mouse, and that I have little say in the matterat-hand.) And who doesn’t want to think that something wonderful is about to happen? Sometimes that “something wonderful” is my car starting up on a frigid winter morning. And it’s enough. I can’t help but notice that there are a lot of adventurous vehicles out there. They’ve climbed this mountain or that one, and they all want to tell us about it. I can just imagine some car sailing past another one that is letting the world
know of its trek up some large precipice in Vermont, and sneering, “That’s nothing. I made it to the top of Mount Washington. Not without some huffing and puffing, but still ...” I need to get a bumper sticker that says, “This car climbed Sand Hill Road.” I feel like that is definitely something worth bragging about. And, of course, there are the bumper stickers that shout out to the world that you are the proud parent of a Young Author at this school or that. I used to have one myself. We can never be too proud of our kids. I especially love the ones that advocate for the environment and for the rights of animals and for the rights of everyone on the planet. Whoever is driving that car – well, we are cut from the same cloth. I will try my darndest not to follow you home and plunk myself down at your kitchen table for a cup of tea and a long-winded discussion of the issues at hand. I make no promises, however. My favorite one, though, which I saw on the Internet, reads “Sorry for driving so close in front of you.” I think that says it all. So for those of you who want to impart some words of wisdom to me, or give me something to think about, or just put a little zip in my day – I’ll see you at the next red light.

finished compost is usually around 7.0, using compost also often eliminates the need to add limestone or wood ash to the soil. Depending on what organic materials were added to the compost pile, the finished compost will contain varying amounts of the nutrients that plants need. Manure based composts would generally have higher nutrient levels than leaf or food waste based composts. After adding an inch or so of compost to your garden soil and mixing it into the top 6 inches of soil, it is a good idea to test the soil before adding any more fertilizer or limestone. Composting household food and yard wastes also reduces the volume of trash that needs to be disposed of either by municipal or
private trash hauling and disposal services. This saves both you and your town money. Connecticut passed legislation in 2014 that set a goal of recycling or reusing 60 percent of the state’s trash by 2024. Right now only about 20 percent of what residents throw out is reused or recycled in some manner. Many localities are beginning encouraging residents to compost their leaves and other organic wastes as both a cost saving tool and a way to amend lawn and garden soils. There is no time like International Compost Awareness Week to learn about composting and figure out how to incorporate it into

chooses to make it. The basic requirements for composting are a source of organic materials, air, water, microorganisms and a site for composting. The organic materials can be food scraps, leaves, grass clippings, spent plants, shredded newspaper or office paper, coffee grounds, tea bags, eggshells, manure, sawdust and spoiled hay. These organic materials may be layered proportionately according to how much carbon and nitrogen they contain. Decomposition is hastened when the amounts of carbonaceous material (brown) are balanced with high nitrogen containing organic matter (green). Many piles are started by using 2 parts green to 1 part brown. Technically this is referred to as the carbon nitrogen ratio and there are many online and written sources listing the ratios for a variety of organic materials. A carbon nitrogen ratio of 30 to 1 ensures faster decomposition. Typically natural rainfall keeps the pile moist but you may need to water it occasionally during dry spells. Keep in mind that most of the decomposition is done by soil microbes and they need oxygen and water just like all living creatures. The compost pile should be as moist as a wrung out sponge. If it seems dry, give it some water. If it is too wet, turn it to aerate and dry out a bit. A general rule of thumb would be to turn the pile every week or two initially. Whether you make or purchase a compost bin or simply create a compost pile is up to you. Wire fencing or cement blocks are an inexpensive way to contain a pile. Locate your bin or pile not too far away from either the garden or the kitchen so food waste
and garden debris can be readily added to the compost pile and finished compost will be conveniently located next to the garden. Facts sheets at www.soiltest.uconn.edu give greater details on the composting procedure as well as on the various types of compost bins available. Compost is finished after 3 to 9 months when it is loose and crumbly and the original organic materials that were put in the pile are no longer recognizable. Using compost in the garden or landscape has many benefits. It adds organic matter to the soil which in turn increases the water and nutrient holding capacities of the soil. Compost improves the soil’s structure which in turn results in better plant root growth. Since the pH of

Police recover two statues stolen from cemetery By Lauren Sievert Special to Town Times
SOUTHINGTON — Police have recovered two statues reported stolen from Saint Thomas Cemetery. Friday, May 6, two statues were recovered at an antiques business in Middlefield, according to police spokesman Sgt. Jeffrey Dobratz. Police are actively investigating after a recent rash of thefts from St. Thomas Cemetery on Meriden Avenue. Since January, eight items have been reported stolen from the cemetery. The statues recovered last Friday were found at Jimmy D’s Antiques Plus on Route 66 in Middlefield. A representative from the business couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. Most of the items stolen are made of Italian marble, according to Lt. Michael Baribault. One of statues recovered May 6 was identified and the family was notified, Dobratz said. Police are working to identify the second recovered statue. Police increased patrols in the area, but said the thefts are at random times without a pattern. Police have been searching at local pawn shops for the items, Baribault said.
Bridge games set for Fridays Durham Recreation schedules bridge games at the Durham-Middlefield community center. The games are held every Friday, starting at 6:15 p.m. Classes are adapted to suit any person’s needs or concerns. For more information, call Jim Martinelli at 860-346-6611.

Smashburger receives approval for beer and wine SOUTHINGTON — A Smashburger restaurant is slated to open June 22 on Queen Street after receiving Zoning Board of Appeals approval for wine and beer sales. A Wallingford Smashburger is also set to open in September or October at 1094 N. Colony Road (Route 5). The burger franchise will open next to Noodles & Co., 826 Queen St., near the intersection with Aircraft Road. The closest Smashburger location is in Milford. “This will be the first in Southington,� said property owner and developer John Senese. “They’re a very good franchise. Mohegan Restaurant Group, owned by the Mohegan tribe, will run the Southington location, according to Christine Ferris, Smashburger corporate spokeswoman. The company’s corporate office will run the Wallingford location. The Mohegans have franchises for the Waterford and Manchester Smashburger locations. The remaining restaurant in Milford is corporate-run.
Ferris said the company starts in suburban areas. “We’re looking for markets that have a growing population, that has a good market for fast-casual,� she said. The company started about nine years ago in Denver, Colorado. It now has more than 360 locations around the world. On Monday, the appeals board approved liquor service at the restaurant as well as outdoor alcohol sales. The restaurant will replace a former men’s clothing store to the north of Noodles & Co. Ferris said most Smashburger restaurants offer beer and wine. Senese owns land across Queen Street where he’s planned a commercial plaza. According to town officials a Chik-fil-A restaurant and an Aldi supermarket could open at the location. On Wednesday Senese de-

clined to comment on plans for the plaza. In the Noodles & Co. plaza, he said an urgent care facility is opening which will fill all the vacancies. Senese recently renovated the area and was optimistic about
that stretch of Queen Street. “I think that whole area will have a new face to it in a year,� he said. The urgent care is scheduled to open in June and is the company’s 10th location. Car-
rie Koscal, a spokeswoman for 203-URGENTCARE said it’s their first outside of New Haven and Fairfield counties. It’ll be open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends.

Lyman receives Governor’s Tourism Award Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, in partnership with the Connecticut Office of Tourism, announced John Lyman, III, executive vice president of Lyman Orchards in Middlefield as a recipient of the 2016 Connecticut Governor’s Tourism Award at the annual Connecticut Governor’s Conference on Tourism. The awards recog-
nize individuals and organizations in the tourism industry that advance tourism in Connecticut and maximize its impact on the state’s economic vitality. Lyman exemplifies a legacy leader in the tourism industry — having transformed his family’s 275-year-old, 1,100acre farm into a multi-dimen-
sional tourist destination that attracts more than 600,000 visitors a year. He has shared his father’s early vision for the family farm as a tourist attraction long before the term “agritourism” was coined. He has continued what his father started, lifting it to a new level. Through his leadership, the farm has undergone a
dramatic shift. While Lyman is recognized for his expertise as a fruit grower, he has also steered his family business toward becoming one of Connecticut’s leading tourist destinations. In the 1960s, the family began offering pickyour-own fruit opportunities. Then, in the 1970s, they transitioned from dairy farms to
championship golf courses and opened a retail store. More recently, they’ve added activities like sunflower and corn mazes, the proceeds of which support important causes. John Lyman, III and the entire Lyman family are dedicated to providing visitors with a memorable experience. — Press Release
