PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE
Spring at last! With warming days nature awakes
with new growth and promise. The reassuring
flow of the seasons comforts the mind and soothes
the soul.
Research has shown that spending time in nature
has real, quantifiable health benefits, both mental and
physical. Visiting a forest can boost your immune system,
lower your blood pressure, reduce stress, improve
your mood and increase your energy level.
Studies indicate that children exposed to the natural world show increased
self-esteem and, in some cases, significant improvement of the symptoms of attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Nature provides a calming influence
and helps children to concentrate.
For your own health and that of your family, it's a great time to take a hike.
Granby offers more than 8,000 acres of land permanently preserved through the
efforts of the Granby Land Trust, McLean Game Refuge, the Town of Granby and
the State of Connecticut. Hiking trails crisscross much of this town.
Check out this month's feature on the McLean Game Refuge — truly a community
treasure. Meet Connor Hogan, McLean's new Refuge Director, and learn
about all the refuge has to offer.
McLean Game Refuge includes some of the oldest and largest forest areas in
the state, encompassing over 4,000 acres. Visitors are encouraged to hike, trail
run, snowshoe and cross-country ski on miles of trails and unpaved roads. You
can even ride horses in designated areas.
We've also included a large map of the trails to help plan your outing.
I'll close with a quote from noted American naturalist John Muir: “Everybody
needs beauty ... places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and
give strength to the body and soul alike.”
So go ahead and enjoy the outdoors — we all could use a little healing and
good cheer.
Sincerely,
Anthony Serino, Publisher

FAMILY FEATURE
The Selander Family
Glad for Granby’s ‘It Takes a Village’ Ethos
By Bruce Deckert
Photos by Amy Geigner
It takes a village to raise a child. So the saying goes. When that village is Granby, all the better — so
say the Selanders.
Mark and Dawn Selander married in 1995 and then settled in Granby. They are natives of
Connecticut. Mark grew up in New Britain, while Dawn is from East Hartland.
Mark, 54, was a detective with the Hartford Police Department. Retired now from that role, he
is currently an officer with the Canton Police Department. Mark has coached youth baseball and
football in Granby since 2000.
“I have been coaching youth sports for so long that I see kids around town now who I used to coach
years ago,” he says. “They are grown up and still take the time to come over to me to say hi and catch
up. ... I like that Granby is a small-town community where I know a lot of people.”
The Selanders appreciate Granby’s pastoral nature.
“When I worked in Hartford, I used to like driving home from work and seeing all of the farmland
and barns once I got closer to Granby,” says Mark, who has an associate’s degree in criminal justice.
Dawn, 45, has been involved with the Granby High School Football Supporters and Bearcats Youth
Football. The Selanders’ two oldest sons, Matthew (22) and Jason (20), played football at Granby
Memorial High School.
4 | APRIL 2018

“I’ve always said, ‘It takes a village’ — and I’m glad my village is Granby,”
she says.
“We have had great experiences with the families, the schools, with
sports, and the businesses in town. I always like to shop local and support
the businesses in town when I can. I do a lot of fundraising for sports and I
am always amazed at the support and generosity of the businesses in town,
and I try my best to reciprocate and support those businesses too.”
Mark and Dawn likewise appreciate their neighborhood.
“We have met so many friendly and supportive families over the years,”
says Dawn, who has a master’s degree in biomedical science. “We take care
of each other. I know if my son needs a ride somewhere all I have to do is
ask someone.”
Mark echoes this sentiment: “We have great families on our street. We
coach together and our kids play sports together. ... I like the fact that I got
to watch one generation of kids grow up and graduate high school (and
college) and I am now watching another generation grow up here on our
street.”
Some of their favorite neighborhood memories include:
• Fireworks on the Fourth of July.
• Watching for “smoke signals” from the neighbor’s house on summer
weekends, which meant “the fire pit was lit and the party was on,” notes
Dawn.
• And for the kids in the neighborhood, playing manhunt — the classic
hide-and-seek-plus-tag game — on warm summer nights.
“It seems that whole era has passed,” Dawn says. “Neighbors have left,
kids have grown, and we are now on to a new generation. There are a lot
of great families with young kids in the neighborhood again, and now we
are making more memories with them. Most of the kids play baseball and
football together.”
The Selanders have four sons overall: While Matthew and Jason have
already graduated from Granby Memorial High School, Joshua (13) is an
eighth-grader at Granby Memorial Middle School and Michael (10) is a
fourth-grader at Wells Road Intermediate School.
“I like the small-town charm that Granby has and its close proximity to
larger cities and towns,” Matthew says. “After I graduate from college in
June, I would like to return to Granby.”
Matthew is studying marine safety and environmental protection at
Massachusetts Maritime Academy. He was part of the first GMHS class that
played all four years of varsity football, and he served as a team captain.
“I like that Granby
is a small-town
community
where I know
a lot of people.”
— Mark Selander
“One of my best and proudest memories,” Matthew notes, “was winning
the Thanksgiving football game against our rival, Canton, at home my
senior year [the 2013 season].”
Meanwhile, Jason works construction and wants to start his own
construction company someday. A nationally certified snowboard
instructor, he also works at Ski Sundown and is a terrain park builder.
Like Matthew, Jason values Granby’s small-town atmosphere.
The Selander boys - Matthew,
Joshua, Michael & Jason
“After I graduate from college in June,
I would like to return to Granby.” —
Matthew Selander
“I like to drive down the street and wave to so many people I know,”
Jason says. “I still hang out with friends I went to high school with and
friends I’ve had from even before I started kindergarten.”
He adds: “I liked growing up with my neighbors building forts, riding
dirt bikes and hanging out at the block parties.”
Joshua plays baseball, which includes many travel baseball tournaments,
and hopes to play college baseball.
“My favorite sport in Granby was Little League,” says the middleschooler,
who goes to Salmon Brook Park almost every day in the summer
for batting practice. “Other families sometimes meet us there — it’s a fun
way to get some practice in with friends.”
Last but not least, Michael plays football, basketball and baseball. The
youngest brother also started playing trumpet this year.
“All of my friends in my neighborhood play sports,” he says. “I am in
fourth grade and still play with friends from preschool.”
Like Joshua, Michael enjoys summer days at Salmon Brook Park.
And he’s a fan of Granby’s agrarian flavor: “I used to visit Dominic, my
neighbor’s donkey, all the time — I even got to sit on his back sometimes.”
Speaking of fanhood, the Selanders root for the Boston Red Sox and
New England Patriots. An annual trip to Fenway Park is a family tradition.
Another tradition: “We have vacationed at Cape Cod every summer
since Matthew was born,” Dawn says. “We stay at the same place and have
made many friends over the years with other families who vacation the
same weeks as us. A few years ago, we were invited to the wedding of one
boy we met at the Cape when he was 9 years old.”
The Selanders also aim for a tradition here at home that is perhaps less
tangible but is pivotal nonetheless.
“I want my kids to grow up building a personal foundation stacked strong
with trust, confidence, wisdom, and most of all kindness and compassion,”
Dawn affirms. “I can’t think of a better place than Granby to nurture and
grow these qualities for them.”

TALK OF THE TOWN
“Have you ever considered having a DNA ancestry test?”
ALISON JANNEY RICHARD NEMIER JADWIGA MARKOWICZ
BRIAN CLARK
“I just ordered it! ... My mom had done
it. She found out what her heritage is
and it linked her to some relatives ... I
wanted to see how mine turned out.”
“I've considered it, not seriously, but
it's crossed my mind ... You hear different
things about your family, but I'd
like to see what percentage of this or
that I am ... I'd be curious to know.”
“No, not really. I've never thought
about that ... I'm Polish. I know all my
relatives.”
“Yes I have ... I'd like to fill in the
blanks in the family tree, go a little
deeper, to know where I really come
from ... I plan on doing it.”
We Listen.
Q: I am fascinated by this idea of
body/mind connection and would
like to understand more about it.
Do you do trainings or workshops
in the area?
A: Yes! Besides working privately with clients I do many

McLean Game Refuge:
A Community Treasure
Hello from the McLean Game Refuge. My name
is Connor Hogan, and I am the new Refuge Director
after the retirement of longtime director Steven
Paine. Prior to joining McLean, I served as the Assistant
Manager of the Yale School Forests, a collection
of six forests encompassing over 10,000 acres across
Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut.
I have been in my new role at the Refuge for seven
months, and have enjoyed meeting many of the regular
visitors. I look forward to getting to know more of
the community as the weather warms up and brings
visitors for springtime recreation.
The McLean Game Refuge has an extraordinary
legacy, and its preserved land offers a sanctuary for all.
The private forest preserve was established in 1932 by
George P. McLean, who was both a former governor
and U.S. senator for Connecticut.
Sen. McLean loved the fields and wildlands of his
native Simsbury and spent much of his public and private
life protecting the animals that inhabited them.
During the latter part of his life, Sen. McLean purchased
over 3,000 acres of land in Simsbury, Granby
and Canton as a private fishing and hunting preserve.
Before his death in 1932, he included instructions
in his will for his lands to be managed in perpetuity
as a wildlife refuge for the protection of animals and
forests as well as a place for people in surrounding
towns to enjoy hiking and snowshoeing or simply to
find peace in nature.
McLean Game Refuge is sustained through the vision
and foresight of Sen. McLean’s endowment and
the community’s ongoing charitable contributions.
20 Miles of Trails, 2.5 Million Trees
Today, McLean honors his will by actively managing
the refuge for wildlife habitat and forest health
and by maintaining over 20 miles of trails for hiking,
cross-country skiing and horseback riding. The refuge
has grown from the original 3,300 acres to over 4,400
thanks to the dedicated efforts of the McLean Board
of Trustees and past refuge directors.
The refuge includes some of the oldest and largest
forest areas in the state. The forests along Bissell Brook
are particularly old for New England, having been established
during the middle of the 19th century. Some
of the oldest white pine trees tower over 140 feet high
and exceed 4 feet in diameter.
About 2.5 million trees of all ages compose our diverse
forests, and they are home to hundreds of animal
species.
In the past few decades, there has been a dramatic
return of some of our larger and more charismatic
animals, including black bears, turkeys, ravens and
pileated woodpeckers. Visitors also regularly see owls,
foxes, bobcats, coyotes, snakes and waterfowl.
Since the late 1970s, the trustees of McLean have
conducted scientific studies of the refuge to assess
and monitor its ecological diversity and health. Past
comprehensive analyses from Yale University’s School
of Forestry and Environmental Studies and the State
University of New York School of Environmental
Studies and Forestry have provided deep understandings
of the refuge’s plant and animal communities.
The land preserved within McLean Game Refuge
includes a unique assemblage of ecosystems formed
across three of Connecticut’s major geologic zones.
Eskers and kettle ponds tell of the region’s glacial history,
and the basalt ridges that include the Barndoor
Hills tell of the once-volcanic nature of the Connecticut
River Valley.
Nestled within this storied ancient landscape are
reminders of the land’s more recent past. Numerous
cellar foundations, wells and stone walls recount the
early settlement of the area by colonial communities
of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Presidential Visitors
Still standing are three log buildings constructed
in the 20th century by the first caretaker of McLean’s
land, Amos George. The oldest and most notable of
the buildings is the charming log cabin just north
of Trout Pond. From his headquarters at this cabin,
Sen. McLean would entertain esteemed guests — including
President William Taft and President Calvin
Coolidge with First Lady Grace Coolidge — for a day
of fishing followed by a meal overlooking the pond.
8 | APRIL 2018

A century has passed since Sen. McLean
walked the forests of the refuge, but we preserve
his legacy by maintaining both his cabin and
Trout Pond. Sen. McLean had water from nearby
Bissell Brook diverted and dammed to form a
beautiful pond that could be stocked with trout
and serve as a habitat for local and migrating waterfowl.
Over many decades, the earthworks that held
back the waters of Trout Pond began to fail, and
McLean’s trustees orchestrated a major renovation
project to rebuild the dam and spillway system
of the pond. Additionally, they installed a fish
ladder to allow migrating fish to bypass the upstream
dam and access important spawning areas
deep within the refuge.
Though no longer home to stocked trout, Trout
Pond does provide prime habitat for turtles, waterfowl,
warm water fish, beavers, muskrat and
numerous other animals. In autumn, visitors can
witness the brilliance of fall colors reflected on
its waters and enjoy flocks of migrating Canada
geese as they make their way south to the Connecticut
shore and beyond.
Visiting McLean Game Refuge
In carrying out the instructions of Sen.
McLean’s will, we open the McLean Game Refuge
to the public for passive recreation. Visitors
can hike, trail run, snowshoe, cross-country ski
and ride horses (in designated areas) on our
miles of trails and unpaved woodland roads every
day from 8 a.m. until dusk.
Hunting and fishing are prohibited, as are
bikes, motorized vehicles, camping and fires. Additionally,
all visitors with pets must ensure they
remain on leash and in control at all times in the
refuge, without exception.
Through regular trail maintenance, McLean
staff works hard to provide a safe place for recreation.
However, the refuge covers rough, forested
terrain and is home to many wild animals.
We encourage visitors to remain aware of their
surroundings, and we ask that they report to us
unsafe trail conditions or animal behavior.
We welcome you to join the thousands of other
individuals and families who visit the McLean
Game Refuge throughout the year.
See you all out on the trails!

CELEBRATING OUR SENIORS
GRANBY’S DON SHAW
IS DEDICATED TO
COMMUNITY SERVICE AND
MEANINGFUL CONNECTION
Don Shaw with former
President Jimmy Carter
on a return flight from
Haiti in 2012, after
Shaw’s second trip to
Haiti as a construction
crew member for
Habitat for Humanity’s
Carter Work Project.
BY SARAH MERRILL
Shaw played for the very first Simsbury High School soccer team.
Though he is now retired, energetic Granby resident Donald “Don” Shaw barely qualifies
as a senior, having been born in 1947. But he is certainly worth celebrating, as his community
service and humanitarian involvement suggest that Shaw will continue working and contributing
for many years to come.
Born at Hartford Hospital, Shaw grew up in a “quieter, more rural” Simsbury, where his
family had lived for generations. His maternal great-grandfather drove a horse and buggy
for a meat company in Weatogue, and his father’s side included farmers in West Simsbury.
For the first few years of Shaw’s life, he lived in his grandmother’s home on Hopmeadow
Street, just across from Ensign-Bickford, the aerospace and defense company. Then Shaw’s
family moved, and he was raised on Firetown Road.
When Shaw’s parents attended high school, Simsbury High was located where the town
hall is today, and it was a regional school serving the towns of Simsbury, Avon, Granby and
East Granby.
“When my wife and I moved to Granby, many of the older residents knew my parents,”
Shaw says. He notes that the town of Simsbury did a great deal of growing in the early-to-mid
1960s, while Granby remained relatively rural.
Shaw graduated from Simsbury High School in 1965, attended Ohio Wesleyan University,
and then served in Vietnam with the Navy. Shaw met his wife Peggy (Margaret) in college.
He says that after his tour of duty, he “just wanted to come home,” and in 1973 he and
Peggy rented a farmhouse in Granby on the corner of Bushy Hill Road and Route 20.
More Than Just
“Once we settled in and got to know the town, we just loved Granby,” Shaw says.

Shaw in his regular role as
Grandpa Don at Granby's
Valley Pre-school, working
on a pretend walkie-talkie
with one of the children.
He retired in 2003 but
was then recruited for an
“encore career” with the
city of Hartford, applying
his diverse skills in various
roles for seven years.
In the late ’90s Shaw
began a deep involvement
with Hartford Area Habitat
for Humanity, assisting
with the building of over
100 homes (so far) in and
around Hartford. Through
this work, Shaw has gotten
involved with the refugee
and immigrant communities.
“Because of Habitat,
I have been able to get
to know many Hartford
neighborhoods and the people who live there,” he says. “It’s led to some really
rewarding involvements.”
Shaw knows Hartford very well now, and he is enthusiastic about bringing
friends into the city.
“One of the things that concerns me about living in the suburbs,” says
Shaw, “is our disconnection from the city and its communities. It’s difficult
to get people to go to Hartford in order to gain an appreciation for what it
has to offer.”
He cites a diverse array of neighborhood restaurants, plentiful cultural
events and diverse multicultural celebrations such as the Park Street Festival.
In addition to his Habitat work in Hartford, Shaw has participated in
seven international Habitat building projects, known as the Jimmy & Rosalynn
Carter Work Project. He’s helped build homes in South Africa, Mexico,
India, Thailand, Haiti (twice) and, most recently, Edmonton, the capital of
Canada's Alberta province.
Shaw has met President Carter a couple of times and describes him as a
warm and engaging man who “firmly believes that housing is a human right.”
Shaw believes that Granby itself “would be well-served to offer more affordable
housing.” To this end, in 2016 he spearheaded the building of the
first Granby Habitat house, located on Route 20. (Hartford Habitat was
founded in 1989 by Granby residents, the late Bob and Marion Mayo.)
“All of the local businesses that worked on this went above and beyond,”
Shaw says.
He would love to build more Habitat homes in Granby, if affordable land
becomes available. Regarding the genesis of his humanitarian streak, Shaw
credits his mother, who grew up quite poor during the Depression and was
“the most caring person you could ever meet.”
In the spirit of serving a diverse range of communities, for eight years Shaw
has volunteered weekly with the students at Granby’s Valley Pre-School. To
this knee-high cohort, Shaw is affectionately known as “Grampa Don.” He
does special projects, leads the kids in games and occasionally dresses up
— this February, he arrived as the emperor in honor of Chinese New Year.
Shaw also volunteers with the youth group at First Congregational Church.
He blogs in order to make connections and keep a record of what’s important
to him. He describes his blog as “a forum to highlight, celebrate and
share the good works of people and organizations dedicated to catching the
hurtful stones we are prone to cast at, or throw in the path of, the marginalized,
vulnerable and victimized among us.”

BUSINESS PROFILE
Salmon Brook Dental offers
brighter smiles for the
whole family
SUBMITTED BY SALMON BROOK DENTAL
BUSINESS NAME: Salmon Brook Dental
ADDRESS: 35 Hartford Avenue Granby, CT 06035
EMAIL: salmonbrookdental@hotmail.com
WEBSITE: http://www.salmonbrookdentalct.com/
PHONE: 860-653-4551
Description of services: As a general dental practice we provide a
wide array of services — including emergency, restorative, cosmetic, root
canal, oral surgery, implant and periodontal services. Our emphasis is
preventative and conservative treatment. We provide dental treatment for
patients of all ages.
History of business: I started in Granby in 1986 when I procured the
practice of Dr. Sherman S. Clark, which was located at 10 Hartford Avenue
in a second-floor office space, above where Caldwell Banker is presently
located. After several relocations, we are now at 35 Hartford Avenue.
What brought you into this line of work: As an undergrad in college,
I developed an interest in a health career path and was attracted to the
independence a career in dentistry could afford.
Philosophy: Educating and helping patients to make informed decisions
for their treatment.
Biggest inspiration: Dentistry is a dynamic profession and is everchanging
with new approaches and techniques. When necessary, we
can restore teeth with much less invasiveness. Through preventative
techniques, the need for restorative dentistry becomes less and less.
Enjoyment of business: The patients that I meet over the years and the
success at helping them obtain optimum oral health.
Special message to share: When I first arrived in Granby, it was truly
amazing at how receptive and welcoming people were. Granby is a truly
a friendly town.
Funny story: Once while treating a patient, I had to make an adjustment
on a dental appliance. I needed to use a tool which was located in a
separate room that had a lockable door. While making the adjustment, the
door closed behind me and locked. It would not unlock.
Calling out to my staff, I heard someone ask, “Did you hear a voice?”
Finally, everyone realized my plight and we busily engaged the entire
doorknob from both sides of the door. With screwdrivers, we were able to
disassemble the entire doorknob, but the lock mechanism did not budge.
We felt desperation and my staff called a locksmith and even the Granby
Police for advice.
Finally, a member of my staff used a butter knife and the lock popped
open. The elapsed time was approximately 20 minutes. The patient had no
idea, at the time, why I was absent and was just told I was indisposed. She
was accepting and the procedure was finished in due time.
About an hour later, when I went to ABC Pizza for lunch, I saw Ralph
Johnson and he started with a hearty guffaw. He told me the whole town
had already heard the story.
Making work day fun: My staff provides the fun. Our staff consists of
varied personalities who are highly skilled and incredibly devoted to
helping patients feel comfortable. There is always banter and laughter.
Myself and family: My wife, Laurie, and I recently celebrated our 40th
wedding anniversary. Laurie has multiple roles in the operation of the
practice, as she is a dental hygienist and an office manager. We have three
adult sons.
Additional information: Granby has been good to us, and we are so
fortunate to have made long-lasting friendships and connections to the
community.
A brighter smile for your whole family

Granby Connection
I have lived in Granby my entire life.
Full-Time Student

What motivated you to serve as a first responder?
I really enjoy serving the community and
getting to know it better.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your work as a first
responder?
For me, the most rewarding part of being on
the Lost Acres Fire Department is serving
my community. Whether this is through an
emergency call or by teaching fire prevention
in the schools, I feel as though I am making a
difference.
Would you like to share a brief story related to your work
as a first responder?
For the past couple of years, I have gone into
the preschools and elementary schools to teach
fire prevention. I enjoy those visits, but I don’t
think learning about fire safety should end
there.
Over October break, I went into seventh-grade
and 11th-grade classes and taught the science
behind fires. Being able to educate the older
students about the real process of a fire and
answer their questions was something I really
enjoyed.

GRANBY HISTORY
THIS MONTH
IN GRANBY HISTORY
BY KEN KUHL
GRANBY
April 4, 1793 — At aspecial Town Meeting holden in Salmon Brook Society
on the 4 day of Apriel 1793 Asahel Holcomb Esqr Moderator upon the
aCount of apetitionfor a devision of sd Town of Granby for two Destinct
Towns: It was voted that they would not Devide sd Town.
The “civil union” between Granby and East Granby was never a completely
happy alliance. As early as 1793 an effort was made to have East
Granby set off as a separate town, because Granby, with the help of the
voters of Copper Hill, changed the rule under which the town meeting was
to be held only once every three years at "Turkey Hills."
East Granby was eventually incorporated in 1858. The would-be “secessionists”
tried seven times, from 1793 to 1857, to petition the Connecticut
State Assembly to create a town separate from Granby.
Over the years, most of the citizens who petitioned for separation were
those east of the Metacomet Ridge, and even though the people who lived
west of Peak Mountain (in the Copper Hill section) did not want to separate,
their land and their grand list were necessary to create a viable town
with a sound economic base.
The reason given in all the petitions was similar. The signers from Turkey
Hills insisted they had little in common with the people of Salmon
Brook. They complained about the long distance they had to travel to town
meetings and said the road over the “mountain” was often impassable.
In 1820 and 1823 the citizens of Salmon Brook even agreed and voted to
approve the creation of a new town. However, the state assembly decided
that the inconvenience suffered by Turkey Hills residents was no worse
than what many other Connecticut citizens faced when attending town
meetings.
Ultimately, the citizens of East Granby prevailed due to economic inequities.
Salmon Brook had over double the population of Turkey Hills, but the
taxable value of their property was only slightly higher. Since two out of
three town meetings were held in Granby, plus the larger block of voters,
the folks of Turkey Hills were at a permanent disadvantage. Further,
Granby’s terrain was more hilly and thus the cost of maintaining the roads
was disproportionably greater.
The greatest injustice came in 1856, when a new state law was passed
mandating that school board members would be elected by the voters
at large. Previously, each “society” had complete autonomy over its own
schools, including studies, books, disciplinary policies, the distribution of
funds, and the formation of rules and regulations.
When the final resolution of incorporation was submitted, the name
“Turkey Hills” was crossed out and the name “Fremont” was inserted.
John Charles Fremont had unsuccessfully run against James Buchanan in
1856.
The folks of Turkey Hills did not like the “Fremont” name, and when
John J. Viets submitted his successful petition, he specified the name “East
Granby.”
