CRHS grad launches new watch company inspired by grandfather By Mark Dionne Town Times
Speaking at a community forum on marijuana legalization are, from left, Dr. Deepak Cyril D’Souza, former state senator Ed Meyer, who introduced the speakers, state Sen. Ted Kennedy Jr., state Rep.

Lawmakers rail against pot legislation by Mark Dionne Town Times
Three local lawmakers, including two representing Durham, spoke against proposed legislation to legalize marijuana in Connecticut and listened to public feedback at a recent forum. State Sen. Ted Kennedy Jr. and state Rep. Vincent Candelora, whose districts include parts of Durham, joined state Rep. Sean Scanlon (Branford/Guilford) at the forum, attended by well over 100 people on Jan. 25 at Guilford’s Community Center. Kennedy said he was eager to hear from experts and the citizens but held a skeptical view of the legalization bill
Brian Dunnigan and Jeremy Crossgrove have started the Hawthorn Watch Company with a release of two watches. The two met in college, at UConn, but the project has roots in Dunnigan’s childhood. Dunnigan, who grew up in Durham and graduated from Coginchaug Regional High School in 2004, remembers his grandfather working on watches in his basement workshop. After serving in World War II, Dunnigan’s grandfather, Bernard “Bernie” Brown, used the GI Bill to learn watchmaking at the Waltham Watch Company. Brown moved to West Haven, where Dunnigan saw him practicing his trade. “I was fascinated by the things he was doing,” Dunnigan said.
currently in the State Senate. “That is not a sound strategy for the future of the state,” Kennedy said.
Dunnigan credits his grandfather with giving him a love of timepieces and said, “I can still picture him huddled over his desk in the basement with a loupe in his eye, working with the greatest precision and purpose I had ever seen.”
“My view is we need a halt on widespread adoption of legalization laws” in order to take a break and study the matter, Kennedy said.
The name Hawthorn was chosen for the pleasant sound of the word, but also as a tie to Dunnigan’s grandfather who had a hawthorn bush growing outside the window of his workshop.
On the topic of marijuana, Candelora, a Republican, shares similar views with Kennedy, a Democrat.
“I loved growing up in Durham,” said Dunnigan, who moved from West Haven as a young child. “It was nice because I had all this room ... There weren’t a ton of students and everyone knew each other.”
“The perception is it’s no big deal,” said Candelora, who added that education would help people understand the risks of marijuana and the different legal classifications. Medical marijuana is legal in Connecticut and possesSee Pot, A3
An art teacher at CRHS encouraged Dunnigan to study art and he eventually took the direction at college. Crossgrove and Dunnigan launched their company with a Kickstarter campaign on Jan. 24, offering sophisticated-looking watches called the Hemingway and the Hemingway Classic. The designs were inspired by watches of the 50s and 60s.

“We both like the vintage aesthetic,” explained Dunnigan, who adds that the era also evokes the watches his grandfather worked on. The watches feature a domed dial, or watch face, similar to older watches, although it is no longer mechanically necessary. The Hemingway Classic also features “batons,” or bars, instead of numerals on its face for a classic look. As described in a press release, “Made of surgical grade 316L stainless steel and sapphire crystal, these watches invoke a vintage feel while keeping in step with modern design.” Dunnigan said, “We wanted to make something to appeal to a broad audience, but also something that would last a long time.” The design was more practical than a See Watch, A6

sion of less than ½ an ounce has been decriminalized, meaning possession of small amounts does not result in a criminal record or jail time. All three politicians at the forum said they supported the decriminalization but opposed legalization. Eight states in the U.S. have legalized marijuana, including neighboring Massachusetts, which passed it as a ballot measure in 2016. “It’s not an easy road to oppose this issue,” said Candelora, who suspects that the marijuana industry is spending money in the state to influence the issue. According to Candelora, when people understand the difference between decriminalizing and legalizing, the sentiment shifts. Scanlon noted that with the state’s budget problems, many would be tempted by the tax revenue of marijuana. Scanlon said that this made it the wrong time to consider the issue.
nal record often had a racial component, Scanlon noted. If decriminalizing solves that problem, Scanlon asked, why legalize? The bill to legalize is sponsored by Senate President Martin Looney, giving it considerable weight.
D’Souza noted the “train” of legalization and said that Colorado serves as a test case. D’Souza cited studies indicating that Colorado has the highest rate of teen marijuana use in the country and has seen an increase in marijuana-related school expulsions and traffic fatalities.
The forum also featured Dr. Deepak Cyril D’Souza, a Yale Medical School professor, Andy Buccaro, director of a substance abuse treatment center, and Gabby Palumbo, a high school student chosen by Guilford D.A.Y., a youth coalition and one of the event sponsors.
According to D’Souza, marijuana impairs brain functions of memory, attention, and estimation. D’Souza also referred to an often-cited study in Dunedin, New Zealand from Duke University researcher Madeline Meier, which indicates long-term marijuana use lowers IQ.
One resident commented that the line up of the forum, organized by Guilford D.A.Y. and two other youth services groups, was “pointedly against marijuana.”
Marijuana, according to D’Souza, also caused additional symptoms, including compulsion, increased use, tolerance, and withdrawal.

Others thought that a regulated marijuana market would not sell to minors and could control the increased potency of today’s marijuana. “Stores check I.D. Dealers don’t,” one speaker said.
Speaking from the student perspective, Palumbo said that youth would ignore age warnings because, “In our eyes, if an adult can do it so can we.”
A few speakers said that marijuana helped them personally. One man described a long-term battle with drug addiction and said that marijuana helped him get his life on track. “If it wasn’t for cannabis, I wouldn’t be alive today,” he said.
Several residents spoke in favor of legalization, or marijuana in general, during public comment. Some noted that alcohol could be considered worse, and

Legislators advocate minimum wage hike By Mike Savino Record-Journal staff
HARTFORD — A group of Democrats and advocates expressed confidence Jan. 26 that the legislature will pass a minimum wage increase, saying a bump would help grow Connecticut’s economy. Democrats have submitted at least four bills to increase the minimum wage, including one signed by nearly fifty lawmakers. The state’s minimum wage increased Jan. 1 to $10.10, the last in a series of raises previously approved, but proponents said during a press conference in the Legislative Office Building Thursday that rate should increase to $15 over time. Rep. James M. Albis, D-East
Haven, said continuing to raise the minimum wage would improve the economy through increased spending among lower wage earners while also reducing their need for welfare benefits. “We’ve been sent here by our respective districts to make smart economic and budgetary decisions for Connecticut,” he said. “Increasing the minimum wage, well that’s an easy one.” The Department of Labor’s Low Wage Advisory Board reached similar conclusions when it proposed in December that the legislature increase the minimum wage to $15. Roughly a dozen Democratic lawmakers attended the press conference as a show of support, and expressed confidence that the General
Assembly will approve another hike.
Dr. Frances Sites, O.D. Dr. Philip Perrino, O.D. Dr. Edlira Alushi, O.D.
Senate Republican President Pro Tempore Len Fasano, R-North Haven, opposed the idea, though, and criticized Democrats for even proposing it.

watch Dunnigan said he dreamed about, that also inspired the company. About 16 months before the company’s launch, Dunnigan said he had a dream about designing a watch, but one “not possible to create with the laws of physics.” Still, the idea stayed with him. Dunnigan studied print, web, and 3-D animation at UConn, where Crossgrove studied industrial design, making the two a good fit for a watch company. The duo aimed to collect $20,000 in orders from the Kickstarter campaign. That figure
represented the minimum required to get the watches produced. The campaign surpassed $20,000 in 12 hours and reached almost $34,000 in under a week. The success was a “shock” to Dunnigan, who credits pre-release outreach and give-away campaigns. The Kickstarter campaign runs through Feb. 23. In the future, Hawthorn will release new designs, possibly focusing on a smaller-sized watch. Dunnigan says the company may look for a retail presence in jewelry stores.

Tree thinning promotes growth 21-acre timber harvest near Wharton Brook helps save pitch pines pitch pine trees and provide more room for growth. By Matthew Zabierek Record-Journal staff
WALLINGFORD — The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is removing hardwood trees from a preserve alongside Wharton Brook State Park to promote growth of the pitch pine and protect the tree species from beetles that have made their way to Connecticut from the southeastern United States.
“By making the pitch pine trees healthier, they’ll be able to better fight off the Southern pine beetle,” said Jerry Milne, who is managing the timber harvest. Tree removal is expected to be completed by the end of the week, Milne said.

The harvest is meant to promote the growth of pitch pines. Recently, pitch pines in Connecticut have been threatened by the Southern pine beetle, a species usually found in southeastern states, said Chris Martin, director of forestry at DEEP. The beetle, first discovered in the preserve in March 2015, has killed thousands of trees in similar pitch pine groves throughout the country. By removing hardwood trees from overcrowded areas in the preserve, the agency hopes to strengthen existing
Martin said environmental officials are not sure how the beetle migrated north, but one theory is that the bugs were blown north by Hurricane Sandy. In 1987, the preserve was designated to protect the sand plain ecosystem. According to DEEP, sand plains are a diminishing yet critical habitat in Connecticut. The Wharton Brook preserve is the “largest and least disturbed segment of what was once a large complex of sand plains that stretched from

North Haven to Meriden,” the agency said. Pitch pines, also known as candlewood or torch pine, is a rigid medium-size tree that once flourished in Connecticut. Unlike many tree species that need nutrient rich soil, the pitch pine thrives in sandy barren soil, Martin said. At least 11 endangered species depend on the ecosystem created by the pitch pine, he said. In 2014, DEEP announced plans for a controlled burn at Wharton Brook State Park to help with pitch pine growth. While fire might seem to be a natural enemy of pitch pines, the species actually spreads through fire. Seeds are distributed from the tree’s cones. The cones often don’t open for many years, but they open up when heated. “When under those conditions, they open and reseed,” Martin said. The controlled burn has yet to occur. It’s unclear when it will take place.

were marked to be removed for the harvest, 453 of which are classified as larger timber trees and 649 are smaller, “saw-timber trees.” The state will sell wood from the larger timber trees to a sawmill in Durham, Perma Treat Corp., which will use the wood to make railroad ties, the company’s primary product. Milne said the state will allow the public to cut and
purchase firewood from the saw-timber trees. To inquire about purchasing the firewood, Milne says to call him at 860-604-4473. mzabierek@record-journal.com 203-317-2279

IT’S ALL GOOD
One step closer to spring By Diana Carr Special to Town Times
I find February to be a fascinating month. I think it’s a double-edged sword. We are headed toward the finish line, winter-wise, but we also know that this month can pack a mean wallop. Like most New Englanders, I used to count the days, and sometimes the minutes, until spring came a callin’. But not so much anymore. Oh, I dearly love spring and all that comes with it – mellow days, no shoes, flowers everywhere, trees all decked out in green again. Who could not love those things? (I don’t love the ticks and the humongous ants, though.) I think that, finally, I am starting to make peace with
life just as it is – and that means winter, too – rather than trying to rush it along. I am more inclined these days to like where I am. I’m seeing the beauty in all the days, not just those mellow ones. Floating along with life like this, instead of going toe-totoe with it, makes everything so much more fun. So I’ve come to appreciate winter. I see gifts. Less running around, less bustling, less frenetic activity. When spring rolls around, I will like all that. But for now I am content with the hibernation that winter brings. There’s a peace that just sinks into my bones, a homeyness, to it all. I’m in my lair for these few months, and I love it. Long nights with my Samsung, my Christmas lights (yes, I keep them up all year; they are much too pretty to hang

But for now I am content with the hibernation that winter brings. around only for Christmas), my rock salt lamps, my incense, and a beverage of my choice. With my devoted kitties sleeping next to me. I am almost purring!
The winter affords me time to take stock of my life, and to tend to things that should have been tended to long ago. Where exactly do I want my life to go, and what do I need to do to make things Days spent at home, just put- happen in that regard? When zing around. I love to putz. I I am out in my pool, baskdon’t putz in the spring and ing in the sun, there is not a the summer and the fall. I am serious thought in my head. too busy playing outside. But It’s fun, but it doesn’t really in the winter I’m more inmove my life along. And my clined to get to projects that life could use some “moving do not see the light of day along.” Winter is more apt to during the warm months. make that happen. The house is a little cleaner during the winter, I will say And I love the snow, as long that. as I don’t have to drive in it (I
usually don’t) or shovel it (I always do). I am not a fan of shoveling, so if Old Man Winter sees fit to not drop a ton of the white stuff on us during his reign, why that would be just fine with me. But walking in a snowstorm is the best. As is watching it from the comfort of my couch, reading a good book and drinking a cup of green tea. My world is quieter in the winter, and I like it. I get to catch up with myself. So February, please don’t feel like you have to rush on my account. Although March being Birthday Month does make it easier to bid you adieu.

Recent helicopter sightings are puzzling By Leigh Tauss Record-Journal staff
MERIDEN — Three helicopters have been spotted flying in formation over Meriden in recent weeks, prompting questions from the community. The helicopters, observed flying west toward Cheshire
on Jan. 25, resemble the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion. The first reported sightings were in November, and more were reported on Jan. 11, according to social media posts, with residents reporting the helicopters were “very loud” and “shook the house.” After being shown a photo of the helicopters, the Connecticut National Guard’s

director of public affairs, Maj. Michael Petersen, said that while the National Guard lands at Meriden-Markham Airport routinely for training, the helicopters in question do not appear to be the National Guard’s. “The Connecticut National Guard does not have any aircraft resembling the one in that photo in its inventory,” Petersen said. “I can speak to the capabilities of Connecticut National Guard aviation assets, but since we were not flying any aircraft in the area, I would only be speculating on both the organization
P R O U D L Y
flying and the purpose of the flight.” The Coast Guard in New Haven was also unable to solve the mystery. “We haven’t been flying over there,” said Operations Specialist First Class Morgan Gallapis. “We have kind of a restricted airspace because of Sikorsky flying in and out of there.” Sikorsky spokesman Paul Jackson said the helicopters do not appear to be from the Stratford company, either. “Those aircrafts were not
ours and the tower confirmed for me that they almost never fly in formation and when they do it’s two aircraft,” Jackson said. “The only guess I could make, it would probably have to be the active Army.” Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said the FAA does not release information on military flights. Mark Jones, public affairs officer for the Naval Submarine Base New London, was also unable to identify the helicopters.
