Hello Redding CT
September 27, 2020 -
Guest Editorial
Dear fellow Redding citizens,
Exactly 25 years ago this month, I was honored to become the founding Publisher of George Magazine. It was
John Kennedy Jr.’s mission to encourage lay people to participate in the Political system. He said, ““Politics is
far too important to be left to the Politicians.“
Which is why it is shocking to me all these years later to find myself in exactly the kind of situation John was
referencing. Most of you are aware of Nancy Burton’s wholesale manipulation of the legal system. Despite
disbarment in 2003, she continues to use her cursory knowledge of the courts to gum up the works with
frivolous law suits.
She is now using this method to thwart the Town’s effort to enforce a ‘Cease & Desist’ order limiting the
number of goats she’s allowed to populate indiscriminately. The legal limit is 9 goats according to Zoning
regulation. Any of you who have driven by her Cross Highway home are aware of exponentially more than 9.
This ‘Cease & Desist’ was ruled on and held up on appeal and yet she still has managed to render it
unenforceable with counter suits.
The herd of goats wander onto my property, my neighbors' property, and of course the road, recently resulting|
in a goat being hit by a truck The inadequate fencing Burton has thrown up not only do not contain them but
serve to be an impediment to the goats return especially the new baby goats who scream in distress.
The conditions these goats live under is appalling. They lack adequate shelter, many appear to be dehydrated,
and have severe, painful deformities. They forage to supplement their inadequate feeding and hydration. As it]
is unlikely they have any veterinary care, they most likely carry infectious diseases.
T could go on and on but most importantly, neither the Town nor State Government appear capable of stepping
in and correcting this malignant situation. To make matters worse, the Court system lets the matter languish
with Burton’s ridiculous appeals and claims of bias against any Judge or Lawyer who challenges her|
I am sitting on my porch on a beautiful September afternoon listening to the the screams and smelling the
stench as my husband shoos a herd of goats off of our property for the 2nd time today. Animal Patrol Officer
Deluca is here to pick up the reports. There are $5,000+ worth of citations issued to Nancy since March and it
has done absolutely nothing.
This matter has been brought to the attention of among others State Senator Will Haskell, Senator Jim Himes]
CT Agriculture Commissioner Bryan Hurlburt, the State Attorney General, the Governor. And NOTHING has
changed.
The taxes that we pay do not protect us from a menace like this. We need to take into our hands as citizens.
And make sure something gets done immediately. And not allow dozens of innocent goats to suffer every day]
PLEASE take the time to react and participate. These goats must be humanely seized and taken out of Nancy
Burton’s hands. She’s incapable of looking after the number she has and the ever growing number to come.
Please show your support by commenting on the Real Redding 411 Facebook
page https://www.facebook.com/.../1415.../permalink/2851717565148461/.
We will take the comments and incorporate them verbatim in a letter to go to the offices of the powers who can
make a difference,
The Town, the State, and most immediately the Danbury Court system need to hear our voices. The ruling to
uphold enforcement of the Cease & Desist is sitting under Judge Barbara Brazzel-Massaro who needs to be
reminded of urgency of the situation.
Thanks so much in advance for using your power to put the government and justice system into the hands of]
the people. It would be a victory for George and John.
Sincerely,
Elinore Carmody

Nancy Burton Docket DBD-CV19-5015276-S

 Dear Ms. Brundage,

 Junderstand that you are the civil caseflow coordinator in the Danbury Superior Court.      | write in regard to a matter
 currently pending before Judge Pavia captioned Nancy Burton v. Julia Pemberton, et al. (DBD-CV-19-50152076-S).              {
 am Ms. Burton's next door neighbor and | hope that you can forward this email to Judge Pavia prior to the hearing.
 scheduled for August 26th on this and a related matter. The situation has been deplorable for so long (5+ years) and it
 grows exponentially worse each day.

 It is not a benign problem. These poor goats have been subjected to multi-generational abuse and neglect. | am attaching
 a link to a recent video of the baby goats on my property screaming in distress as they are unable to find their way back
 around the inadequate fencing Ms. Burton constructed.

 It is not just the goats who suffer. My neighbors and | are subject to daily invasions onto our properties of the goats|
 foraging for food when not fed, a constant stench, and deafening screams. I've attached a recent sound recording of what
 we listen to day and night. In a nutshell, the situation is intolerable and while Ms. Burton files frivolous motion after,
 frivolous motion to delay enforcement of a cease and desist order entered three years ago, the animals and our;
 neighborhood suffer as our quality of life diminishes daily. This has to stop.

 The goats pose a very real health and safety hazard not just to my neighbors and myself but to the Town of Redding.
 There Is no evidence of veterinary care or testing for disease. Some of the goats were tested 3 years ago by Animal!
 Nation Rescue and they all tested positive for C&L disease, an illness that causes abscesses on the organs and skin and|
 can transfer to humans.

 Recently a goat was hit on Gross Highway on the way back from my neighbor, Dave Mason's property totaling the truck's
 front bumper. Yesterday and today there are multiple documented incidents of goats on the road

  am imploring Judge Pavia to do whatever is necessary on Wednesday to allow a decision on the long-ago argued,
 motion for summary judgment to be decided. The constant intrusion on our well-being and the horrendous living
 conditions these animals suffer have become overwhelming. Itis a true nightmare. | would sincerely appreciate whatever
 you can do to let Judge Pavia know how debilitating Ms. Burton's conduct has been. If appropriate, | would be more than
 happy to testify this Wednesday as this situation is untenable and has deprived me, my husband, our neighbors and
 ultimately the abused animals of the basic right to live peacefully In our community.

  I thank you in advance for helping us allow our voices to be heard.

 Sincerely, Elinore Carmody Gibbons

Dear Members of the Redding Board of Selectmen:
   This letter responds to the invitation extended to me by Redding Town Counsel
Steven Stafstrom in the course of a telephone conference call he and | engaged in on
Tuesday, March 9, 2021. This letter serves as notification that | accept the offer.
   The teleconference was initiated in preparation for a remote proceeding scheduled to
take place on March 10, 2021 at 9 AM before Superior Court Judge Barbara N. Bellis as
an “initial status conference’ in two matters | have brought to the Superior Court, Nancy
Burton v. Redding Zoning Commission, UWY-CV-195027712-S (“Zoning”), and Nancy
Burton v. Julia Pemberton, UWY-CV-195027713-S (“Pemberton”). Both cases concern
goats maintained on my property as participants in the Mothers Milk Project, a public-
interest, not-for-profit project to sample and analyse goat milk for the presence of
radioisotopes routinely released by nuclear power plants.
  During the conversation, | happened to mention to Mr. Stafstrom that | had rented a
truck over the previous weekend to transport twelve goats from my property to new
homes with the assistance of Rosa Buonomo,       president of SBF Animal Rescue, Inc.
(“Stony Brook Farm”), a 501(c)(3) not-for profit animal sanctuary with a facility located in
Harwinton, Connecticut. | explained that | had been devoting much time and attention
over several years to relocate all but nine of the goats to good “forever” homes. | further
explained that | had had to postpone the scheduled March 7 transfer because my
property was still covered in ice which posed a danger to myself, the goats and the
three people | had hired to assist me with the transfer.
   Mr. Stafstrom interrupted me to ask if it would be helpful if the Town of Redding were
to cover the cost of the truck rental. | did not hesitate to say “Yes.” Mr. Stafstrom then
ventured that the Town's financial assistance to cover the entire cost of relocating all but
nine of my goats to the Harwinton facility, which was willing to adopt them all, would be
money much better spent than money spent on the costs of taking Zoning and
Pemberton to trial. | agreed. | further explained that various Redding residents and | had
initiated a fundraising drive to finance the move but were still quite far from the goal. |
was told by Ms. Buonomo that once the funds were made available, the goat transfer
could take place within two short weeks.
   Mr. Stafstrom asked for the name of the sanctuary and | replied that | would be happy
to provide it after obtaining Ms. Buonomo’s assent. | contacted her and she agreed to
accept the offer and she extended an invitation to the Board of Selectmen and other
town representatives to visit the sanctuary.
   Mr. Stafstrom then asked if | would draft a proposal which he would submit to the
Redding Board of Selectmen with his strong endorsement. We discussed how such
contribution by the Town of Redding would cover all the costs of relocation, including
constructing shelters and setting up fencing, drilling a well, hiring construction workers
and covering all other costs to make the move possible.
   | am in the process of preparing the proposal and will present it to Mr. Stafstrom
shortly.
   | look forward to working with you to achieve the “global settlement” Mr. Stafstrom
has initiated
                                              Sincerely,
                                              /s/ Nancy Burton

OOO.     wee                   a     -    ae

 by Susan Winters, Publisher


 My article on the situation of the goats on Cross Highway owned by Nancy
 Burton brought some needed activity.          News12 picked up the story and did a
 feature report on the goats. The News-Times is preparing a two part report as
 well.


 The information caught the attention of the courts and a hearing on some of
 the motions has been scheduled for August 12. This will be an online hearing. |
 am finding out if it will be accessible to the public. | will share that info once |
 receive it.


 Meanwhile, | received this message from Ms. Burton. | had sent several
 messages to her by email and phone asking for information before | published
 the original article. This was her response that | received on August 6.


 Dear Ms. Winters:
     Your article “Goats: an ongoing issue” dated July 22, 2020 is false and defamatory
and is replete with malicious lies and vicious animus intended to cause harm to
myself and my goats without just cause.
   This is therefore a statutory demand for a complete and immediate retraction if
all lies and falsehoods contained in the article as well as the article itself.
Very truly yours,
Nancy Burton


| stand by what I wrote, every word meticulously researched.


Please continue to contact the town and state and ask for these poor animals to
be moved to a facility in which they can be properly tended. During the storm, |
couldn't help but worry about the goats who do not have adequate shelter. |
understand that their inadequate lean-tos were damaged in the wind and rain.

Excuse me. What kind of a response is this exactly?                       I actually didn’t write to you. I wrote to
Commissioner Hurlburt. And I am well aware of the Town’s actions. Which have done
nothing to alleviate this situation for 3+ years.

lam sitting here listening to goats screaming and stench as I write this. I am sure the press we
are now making aware of this unsafe condition the State is passing the buck on will be asking
the same question.

So please don’t send me a boilerplate response to an egregious situation unless you’re
planning to do something about it.
