Volume 19, Number 41 Serving Durham, Middlefield and Rockfall www.TownTimes.com Friday, February 20, 2015

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 re-moval in Regional School Dis-trict 13’s 2014-15 budget.

The school district is re-sponsible for clearing snow from all the school parking lots and walks, as well as Pick-ett 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 Man-ager 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 dis-trict worked to clear some roofs, including the occasion-ally leaky one at Brewster School.

“We are going to over-ex-pend 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 differ-ent line.

The expense for snow re-moval is variable and this will be the third consecutive year snowfall has exhausted that budget line. In 2013-14, the district spent approxi-mately $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 quar-ter the amount.

On Feb. 11, Superintendent of Schools Kathryn Ve-ronesi 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 Ful-ton, who chairs the Building Utilization Committee,

“Homeward Bound Extreme” is how Durham resi-dent 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 head-ing off into the woods, toward Guilford, apparently following what her husband thinks may have been a

Fullmetal Falcons ready robot

The Xavier High School Fullmetal Falcons are hard at work on their robot as they prepare for their first Recycle Rush competition, a FIRST robotics event. The team includes some 30 stu-dents from Berlin, Durham, North Haven, Southington, North Branford, Cromwell, and other area towns.

Every year, the FIRST ro-botics challenge is different.

This year’s game, Recycle Rush, involves building a ro-bot that can collect bins or totes and stack them onto scoring platforms while avoiding being derailed by “litter” in the form of pool noodles thrown by the op-posing team.

The Fullmetal Falcons held tryouts Feb. 13 with students vying for roles as Coach, Driver 1, Driver 2, and Hu-man Player.

During every 2.5-minute match, the Fullmetal Fal-

cons will use their robot to join with two other teams to form an alliance on the red or blue team competing against an opposing alliance of three robots.

Each team will have a hu-man player that can throw pool noodles in attempts to derail the opposing team’s robots. The player can also hand off noodles to their al-liance’s robots, with noodles placed in trash bins worth six points and litter moved into the landfill zone worth one point per noodle.

The Fullmetal Falcon’s programming team has been hard at work preparing the ro-bot to attempt to score points during the first 15 seconds of the match, when robots work autonomously. After that pe-riod ends, team drivers can take direct control of their robots.

The Fullmetal Falcons have programmed their robot to

work using a game control-ler connected to a laptop that interfaces wirelessly with the robot.

Each year the Fullmetal Falcons create a different ro-bot, but they are permitted to cannibalize robots from pre-vious years for parts, to save money – thematically befit-ting the Recycle Rush game,


Berlin residents Alec Guzauckas and Jonathan Galati, students at Xavier High School in Middletown, prepare a robot for competition as part of FIRST Robotics.

The Fullmetal Falcons test drive their robot in the music room because it, like the competition space, is carpeted. | Charles Kreutzkamp / Town Times

Budget

the BOE will investigate the possibility of closing Korn Elementary School after the 2016-17 school year. BOE members have indicated a preference for reconfigu-ration to two K-5 elemen-tary 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 fol-lowed that trend, occurring mostly at the elementary level.

Spending in the proposed budget is increased by 2.54 percent, but a decline in rev-enue 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 in-crease of 1.74 percent over the 2013-2014, which was a 1.07 percent increase over the pre-vious year.

The budget proposal, de-signed by Veronesi with ad-ministrator’s input, opened with the motto “Sustain, Strengthen, Prepare” and a photo montage of district stu-dent 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 savingsAmong the staff reductions

in the proposed budget are 5.5 teaching positions and one support staff.

Following the trend of de-clining 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 ele-mentary teach at Brewster, and one sixth grade science teacher at Memorial.

Teaching cuts in the budget also include one special edu-cation 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 bud-get come from a restructuring of employee health benefits. According to Melnik, moving half of the teachers, all of the administrators, and other em-ployees to a high deductible plan with Health Savings Ac-counts saved the district ap-proximately $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 increasesThe budget allocates

$100,000 to pay for a state trooper as a District-wide School Resource Officer. The trooper would spend ap-proximately 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 super-intendent referred to sub-

stance abuse, school safety, and mental illness as areas where a School Resource Of-ficer could help.

The trooper “would be someone whose presence was known at every school on a weekly basis,” Vero-nesi said. “We have gotten so much more vigilant in terms of what we all do with en-vironmental awareness, but we’re not experts.”

BOE members, who were seeing the proposed bud-get for the first time, asked several questions about the trooper. BOE member Ei-leen Buckheit said, “I want to make sure that it’s the best use of our money” for secu-rity and safety.

Other members asked about the training, job de-scription, and the lines of communication and author-ity with a shared position.

The proposed budget also adds a tech support posi-tion and creates a human re-sources position at Central Office. A .5 custodial posi-

tion is also added in the 2015-16 budget. Previous cuts in the custodial staff have put “stress and strain” in that area, according to Veronesi.

The issue of declining en-rollment shows up in the 2015-16 proposed expenses, including a $5,500 expen-diture to update the demo-graphic projections and an approximately $65,000 ex-penditure on an architec-tural 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 in-coming 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 pre-vious years, to prepare for the next BOE meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 25, 7:30 p.m., at Strong.

Cephalopods crush competition, move on

The Cephalopods have done it again: Coginchaug’s Ocean Bowl team triumphed at the Quahog Bowl. Now, the team will once again rep-

resent the Connecticut and Rhode Island region at the National Ocean Sciences Bowl competition, to be held in Ocean Springs, Mississippi April 23-26.

This year’s Quahog Bowl, an Ocean Sciences compe-

tition featuring toss-up and short-answer questions, was held Feb. 7 at the UConn Av-ery Point campus.

The Coginchaug team slogged its way through a dif-ficult semi-final match, “but in the second half we were

able to blow away the com-petition,” said one of the team’s captains, Amelia Bi-anchi, who credited the vic-tory to the team’s ability to keep “our cool throughout the whole game, down to the last match.” The momentum the team built up carried it through to victory in the final match. “The semi-final match was more difficult than the fi-nal match,” the young scholar said.

Bianchi and fellow cap-tain Ryan Gossart are veter-ans of last year’s Ocean Bowl team that made an impressive showing at the national com-petition in Seattle, Washing-ton, placing 10th.

Coginchaug coach Lor-rie Martin said much of the team’s success is due to its veterans, who “benefited im-

mensely” from three rigorous months of studying and prac-ticing last year to prepare for nationals in Seattle.

According to Martin, the usually studious Gossart is a huge proponent of the team’s tradition of “un-studying” the night before a competi-tion. While other teams pour over books, the Cephalopods play card games and eat junk food, resting their minds for the day ahead.

“I found it remarkable to witness how much Ame-lia and Ryan have grown as Ocean Science competitors in both knowledge and tech-nique,” Martin said.

The team, as a whole, played with “surgical ef-ficiency” throughout the

Dogs

rabbit. Carl and Lincoln were

missing, and King took to the road to call after them.

North Guilford resident Claudia White spotted the dogs on her way home and called the local police.

“I tried to follow them with my car because they seemed really disoriented,” said White, who put small piles of

dog food in the road.A few other drivers pass-

ing through stopped to help, but when police arrived and attempted to noose Carl and Lincoln, the dogs took off running.

“A lot of us were really con-cerned because of the freez-ing temperatures,” White said.

Patty Paskoski, a mem-ber of a group dedicated to reuniting lost dogs with

owners, called Dog Gone Re-covery, 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 de-grees 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 mid-night 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 con-stantly on the move to survive the freezing temperatures. She said the vet believes the dogs fought a coyote, or an-other wild animal, at one point during their trek.

The thing that amazed King the most about the or-deal was the generous spirit of her neighbors.

“I can’t get over what they did for me,” she said, espe-cially 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. Nab-bing a Chihuahua lost for 38 days with her bare hands was another of the many dramatic experiences she has had par-ticipating in dog rescues.

Lost dogs often bring com-munities 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.”

Corned beef dinnerSt. James Episcopal Church, corner of Rt. 81

and Little City Road, has scheduled its annual corned beef dinner for Saturday, March 14, 5 to 7 p.m. A fee is charged. Take out available.

For more information, call (860) 345-2445.

Roslyn Helme-dach 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 re-ceive a dog and the training, and about $10,000 to have re-serves for dog care.

Neighbors and community groups wish to assist Roslyn in acquiring funds to receive a service dog. A pasta dinner and si-lent auction is planned for March 28. This dinner will be held at the Middlefield Federated Church, where Roslyn’s family holds membership. The din-ner will be prepared and served by members of a lo-cal 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-

tained from some members of the Democratic Town Committee as well as from some members of the Fire Company. Cash or checks may be donated locally to Rally for Roslyn’s account at Liberty Bank. Or funds may be sent to GoFundMe.org, which lists Roslyn’s benefit, as well as the ben-efits of many other people in the area.

Roslyn has been diag-nosed with a genetic dis-ease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. This final diag-nosis of EDS was the re-sult of “connected dots” from her history, her fami-

ly’s history, and her symptoms. A geneticist es-tablished that Roslyn’s symp-toms were con-s i s te n t w i t h Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a mysterious dis-ease that, like arthritis or mul-tiple sclerosis, can appear dif-ferently in each p a t i e n t a n d have different progressions of acuteness and stability.

Roslyn be-gan d isplay-ing symptoms when she was 12-years-old. EDS caused hy-permobility, in

which joints could slip out of place or dislocate and cause chronic pain. A sec-ondary 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.

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 mu-sic to their ears. Some peo-ple 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

climbed into bed with me, only to realize that I was looking at my own arm. Though the years are tick-ing by, more rapidly now it seems, come this time of year I am as excited about my upcoming Big Day as a school girl on prom night.

Because I just love be-ing here. I really do. Not all days, but a considerable number of them, I see life as a real hoot. Every now and then, when my mind is not running around in circles, memories – usually unbid-den – of all the magic and wonder I’ve been privy to wash over me. It’s almost al-ways the simple stuff; play-ing in the snow, a sunset that takes up the whole sky, anything chocolate. And I am renewed in my faith that, way more often than not, life offers up the spec-tacular. So yeah, I’m cele-brating another go-‘round.

Birthday Month is almost here

As the snow piles up out-side my window, it’s hard to take the reality of spring seriously. You mean I will someday be able to walk out to my compost bin again? Really?

Yes, really, I will – some-day. I can close my eyes and imagine walking over green spring grass to the edge of the woods where my com-post pile sits, frozen under two feet of snow. But, yes, I can imagine it.

Being trapped in the house does leave a bit of ex-tra time for imagining, and imagination is a wonderful thing. It can even be a lit-tle more robust and fanci-ful than imagining that first walk over soft grass to the compost pile.

After all, we frequently compliment children by saying, “Oh, he (or she) has such a wonderful imagina-tion” as we watch them turn a table and a blanket into a fort or a castle, a sheltered spot in the yard into a fairy hotel, an empty cup into a tea party.

So, if we were to turn our imaginations loose, what would we like our towns of

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 imag-inings 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 peo-ple 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 de-cide if Durham hosts a solar farm to power town build-ings into the future.

Since we can’t count on being snowbound with our active imaginations for-ever – 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 ex-plore and celebrate what we love about our towns, the in-dividuals and organizations that give us our special iden-tity, 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 par-ticipate 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 end-less, 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 steer-ing group – Joanne Nytch, Carol Bufithis, Nancy Win-ship-Poole, Jen Huddleston, Jen Kleindeinst, Deb Norko, Kathy Weber, Lorrie Martin, Laura Francis, and myself.

Admit it. Oscar predic-tions are a dime a dozen. That is why Diagnosis: Movies likes to mix things up. In honor of the upcom-ing basketball tournament, this year’s eight Best Picture nominees go head to head, March Madness style.

The true stories (Divi-sions 1 and 2)

Division 1. The Ameri-can Powerhouses: American Sniper vs. Selma.

The most lethal sniper in American history goes up against Martin Luther King Jr. One man battles an overseas enemy, the other the enemy of racism and discrimination. They both change the country for the

better. Their stories are powerful, haunting, and trail-blazing, but which film has the biggest impact on the silver screen?

WINNER: AMERICAN SNIPER

Division 2. The Battle of the Brits: The Imitation Game vs. The Theory of Everything.

Alan Turing, inventor of the computer, and Stephen Hawking, esteemed physi-cist, take science to a new level in their respective films. Both men are depicted on screen with profound act-

ing and heartfelt stories. The overwhelming passion be-hind Turing’s tale, however, swings the win in his favor.

WINNER: THE IMITA-TION GAME

Fictional stories (Divi-sions 3 and 4)

Division 3. Coming of Age: Boyhood vs. Whiplash.

Everyone loves a good coming of age story. Boy-hood 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 ev-eryday moments. Whiplash,

however, rocked me to the core as a music conservatory student answers his call-ing under the mentorship of a tyrannical instructor. The emotional zing goes to Whiplash, full out.

WINNER: WHIPLASHDivision 4. Odd Men Out:

Birdman vs. The Grand Bu-dapest Hotel.

Idiosyncrasy is the name of the game, the Oscar game at least. Birdman tells the story of a former film super-hero 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 car-toonish landscape of theft and manipulation. Both films color themselves in odd co-medic flare but only one de-livers the goods.

WINNER: BIRDMANThe semi-finalsAmerican Sniper (Divi-

sion 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. Turing may take the lead in this one with a story that mixes world-wide intrigue with technology and social norms. His story is one that begs to be told, teaching us all a moral lesson.

WINNER: THE IMITA-TION GAME

Whiplash (Division 3) vs.

Birdman (Division 4).Ego drives both films to

their ultimate climax. Whip-lash blasts in-your-face in-tensity with each musical beat of the drum. Birdman gets a bit more esoteric with an interpretive ending that raises the stakes. Oscar tends to love surreal sym-bolic gestures, but I prefer genuine emotion laced with

reality.WINNER: WHIPLASHThe finalsThe Imitation Game (Di-

vision 2) vs. Whiplash (Divi-sion 3).

These were by far my favorite Oscar-nominated films this year and choosing between the two is a chal-lenge. Both had me dwelling on their stories long after I

left the theater but only one of them resonated with me to the point that I wanted to see it a second time. Its raw effortless honesty and real-ism shook me to the core.

WINNER: WHIPLASHI know my preferences are

not in line with the popu-lous. I know the Academy is enamored with Birdman, Boyhood, The Grand Buda-pest Hotel, but that does not mean that those were the films that resonated with me.

Movie is art and art is in

the eye of the beholder. I stand by my choices. How would you fill out your bracket?

Meet Masonicare resident Ruth Crawford. Ruth first lived independently in the Hawkins Apart-ments on the Wallingford campus. When she required more care and physical therapy in 2013, however, she moved into the Health Center.

Ruth loves the entertainment offered at Masonicare, especially the Western concerts, visits from the daycare children, and the writing class. “I’m calling my story ‘I Remember When’ says this “can-do” lady who went back to college and graduated at age 75!

Ruth and CNA Sarah Wallace have a great relation-ship. “She’s tops. She knows just what to do and when, and makes me feel secure.” For her part, Sarah speaks from the heart: “The residents are like my family — they are the grandparents I never had. I’ve learned so much from them.”

Robot

team spokesman Van Augur, a North Branford resident, pointed out.

Unlike in previous years, “we don’t foresee much ro-bot to robot interaction,” said co-captain Jameson Kief of Southington. In previous years, robots would some-times cause damage to each other, Kief said. Now, robots are not required to have bum-

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 in-terior wheels that allow the robot to strafe left and right. The team hopes this will al-low the robot to center itself in front of bins, making it eas-ier to lift and stack using the pneumatic gripping arms.

The team has been waiting

on a new part, that was to ar-rive 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 en-gineers 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 Full-metal 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 ex-pected 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 cul-ture by creating a world where science and technol-ogy are celebrated and where young people dream of be-coming science and technol-ogy 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 Fal-cons this year is a 3D printer that can create plastic parts for the robot, which team members described as “sur-prisingly 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 ro-bot this week. Their first competition will be held in Waterbury, Feb. 28, with an-other competition in Hart-ford March 28.

A collection of Valen-tine’s Day cards dating back to 1927 are on display at the Middlefield Community Center. The cards, which belong to Barbara Rowe, have been lent to the Mid-dlefield Historical Society.

Rowe’s mother was a teacher, and the cards were given to her by students.

The regular Middlefield Board of Selectmen meeting on Feb. 17 was dominated by executive session.

Members of the public and press are not allowed to witness executive ses-sions, which commonly con-cern matters of employment, contracts, or negotiating strategies.

The BOS entered executive session less than five minutes after the meeting was called to order. Middlefield First Se-lectman Jon Brayshaw read the reason for the executive session as “strategy for col-lective bargaining, personnel matters, and pending litiga-tion, and related matters” in

addition to “attorney/client privilege work product.”

Town attorney Bruno Mo-rasutti, labor attorney Lisa Mehta, who specializes in representing employers in bargaining and courtroom matters, and State Trooper Sgt. Sal Calvo were invited into executive session.

Although the subjects dis-cussed in executive session were not revealed, in October Middlefield suspended Offi-cer Scott Halligan, with, pay for falsifying a crash report concerning his own vehicle.

Other items on the agenda were dispensed with quickly at the meeting. The agenda called for updates from the Sesquicentennial and Char-

Quahog Bowl, buzzing in ag-gressively with a great deal of confidence about the ma-terial, according to Martin.

“The 2015 Quahog Bowl was a great success,” said one of the Quahog Bowl’s co-ordinators, Diana Payne, who added that Coginchaug is just the second team in the Qua-hog Bowl’s 18-year history to take the title two consecutive years.

Martin noted that the Qua-hog 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 stan-dard 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 prepar-ing young and caring ocean leaders for the future, despite its continuing struggle for funding,” and that the orga-nization relies on local spon-sors. For more information, visit nosb.org.

Gossart was interviewed for a segment about the Ocean Bowl team on an episode of Coginchaug’s Devil Nation News, a video news program that can be viewed at http://devilnationnews.weebly.com.

Another thing. My birth-day 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 lean-ing 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 cele-bration – of life, of me. Ac-tually, I start buying things for myself in February, and sometimes in January, justi-fying them as early birthday presents. The Loreal com-mercials 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 ma-terial 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 al-ways a walk on the beach, because I’m never hap-pier than when I’m sur-rounded 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 prosper-ity. Find a feather – don’t be afraid to soar. An excep-tional 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 ordi-nary 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.

Despite a difficult loss on Senior Night, Coginchaug re-bounded in impressive fashion to finish the week 1-1.

The girls began their week with a difficult matchup against the undefeated Morgan Hus-kies 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 Ri-naldo (3 points), Mikayla Wys-kiel (2), Lena Huntington and Audrey Arcani were recog-nized before the game for their commitment to the Cogin-chaug basketball program throughout their high school careers.

Sami Ashton led Morgan with 25 points as Kelsey Don-aldson 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 half-time 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 re-bounds, two blocks, two steals, and two assists. Rinaldo also impressed, manufacturing 16 points, eight rebounds, three steals, one block, and one as-sist. Wyskiel scored seven points while adding a team-high seven assists and team-high 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.

Girls split, rebound nicely

By Alan PeaseSpecial to Town Times Despite a heartbreaking

Senior Night loss, Cogin-chaug managed to play to the tune of a 1-1 record last week.

On Tuesday, Feb. 10, the boys hosted the Thunder-birds of North Branford, fall-ing by a final count of 48-45.

After a late North Bran-ford 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 con-verted 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 im-pressive 15-4 advantage early in the contest before their of-fense fell flat. The Thunder-birds 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 Val-lone were recognized before the game for their dedica-tion during their time at Coginchaug.

While Rodrigue was un-able 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 quar-ter 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, Cogin-chaug iced the game from the free-throw line to pre-vent 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. Ter-rill (7 points), Smith (4) and Wyskiel (4) were also cru-cial 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.
