GIVING BACK GIRLS

Town Manager Mark Sciota said the estimated surplus will be finalized with an audit in December.
The money will go to the town’s undesignated fund, also called the rainy day fund or fund balance. Some of that money may be used to buy the municipal center building on North Main Street if approved by voters during November’s referendum. Sciota said property taxes were $900,000 higher than See Surplus, A12

a lot of fun too,” he said.
A former Thalberg student organized the construction of a game pit for his elementary school. Zachary Krar, a Boy Scout pursuing his Eagle Scout rank, gathered donated materials and planned the construction of a 12-foot pit for playing ga-ga, a variant of dodgeball. Krar, 14, first played the game at YMCA Camp Sloper in fifth grade. “Everybody played it all day. We had a lot of fun and I could tell everyone else had
While other schools in town have ga-ga pits, Thalberg didn’t have one. Krar thought it would be a good addition and decided to make it his Eagle Scout project. The pit, about three feet high with rubber protectors on the side, was unveiled on Friday. The game is played with a ball that’s hit rather than thrown at other players to get them out. Hit the ball over the side of the pit and you’re out.
pit has already gotten some use, according to Principal Katherine Reeves. She said it has been a hit with children. “The kids are definitely excited about it,” she said. The lumber and stone dust for the project was donated. The school’s PTO donated the pit kit, including brackets and wall covers. “It’s something that everybody can use,” Krar said. His fourth grade teacher, Linda Reilly, still teaches at the school and was there on Friday.
Built earlier this month, the
“We couldn’t be prouder,” she said. “It’s quite an accomplishment.” Construction help came from Krar’s family, friends, scout troop 45 and Thalberg parents and teachers. The husband of one teacher

For the past 38 years my family and I have had the great pleasure of watching our wonderful customers, young and old, including our own children become better hitters, and in many cases, great hitters. Quite a few went on to play college ball, and some made it all the way to professional baseball. It is with sorrow, and sadness that on September 2nd we will be closing our batting cages forever. We invite all on September 1st and 2nd to say goodbye, and take some last swings. Cages will be available free of charge both days.

Community involvement part of trust’s mission
These are examples of the kind of partnership SLCT strives to have with the community. “We’re not the typical land trust,” says Albert Fiorillo, SLCT president, explaining that the group’s service extends well beyond land acquisition and maintenance. Although it has a relatively small membership of 50, the land trust is very much about “helping out the community … for a small group, we’re really active,” Fiorillo says.
Queen Ann events The Queen Ann Nzinga Center, Inc., which provides arts enrichment activities for children age 5 to 17, is accepting new participants.
As Southington has a lot of development going on, the land trust understands that it must explore other avenues, beyond land acquisition, to support its interests in preservation and conservation, Fiorillo says. “It’s a challenge to thrive with the pressure for development.” But there are ways to take a stand and work towards the SLCT mission and “let people know we’re here,” he says. Locally, SLCT works on Earth Day activities, Rails to Trails clean-up and various Quinnipiac River projects as well as other “environmentally driven” work. And don’t forget the seasonal hikes!
wood chips to lay and invasive plants to fight back. It’s a fun and rewarding experience because “you can see the benefits”, Fiorillo says.

The Southington Drive-in feature on Saturday is the animated comedy-adventure “Ferdinand,” hosted by the Southington Land Conservation Trust. The event is one of the organization’s three major fundraisers, the others being a Christmas tree recycling drive and managing a parking lot for the Apple Harvest Festival.
“It’s a great group of people,” Fiorillo says, inviting anyone who might be interested to check it out and maybe “get involved in an organization that really does care about Southington and its natural heritage.”

expected along with $200,000 more than planned in Town Clerk office revenue through fees. “That means economic development bringing in this,” he said. “We had some very positive things on our revenue side.”
The increases were partially offset by $1 million that the town took from the reserve fund last year that needs to be returned, according to Sciota. Town finances for the past fiscal year haven’t been finalized, according to Town
Finance Director Emilia Portelinha. Last June, the rainy day fund was at $22.7 million. Town rules require at least 10 percent of the operating budget total kept in the rainy day fund. Money beyond that minimum is considered excess funds and can be used with approval from town leaders. Last year, the fund was more than $6 million above the 10 percent minimum. Chris Palmieri, Town Council chairman and a Democrat, said the fund was healthy and supported using some of it for the municipal center purchase. The town currently leases the building but has the option to buy it next year. “It’ll save us money in future budgets,” Palmieri said of the purchase.
He was pleased with the surplus given the zero mill rate increase last year and the .18 mill rate increase this year. The mill rate is the amount of tax dollars levied on every $1,000 of assessed property value. “I couldn’t be more pleased,” he said. Costs in the 2018/19 fiscal year were also lower than anticipated. Board of Finance Chairman John Leary, a Republican, said town leaders understand they won’t face lower budgets in future years if they don’t spend all the money in a given year. He said that has contributed to more efficient spending and surpluses that can be used for capital and one-time purchases. Given the town’s $150 million budget, Southington has large cash deposits at
any given time. Leary said those are put into conservative investments in accordance with state law. “We’re sitting on a lot of money that we’re not using. Investing that money…. we’re still able to make hundreds of thousands,” he said. ”There’s no speculation. These are conservative investments.”

Miceli said Sheri Guarino, a Conservation Commission member, has been selling pollinator pathway signs at the farmer’s market downtown. Sheri Guarino, wife of Val Guarino, has been organizing the effort to convince residents of the environmental importance of pollinators. Miceli plans to have a sign at the Novick property. “We are going to start bringing information to residents about pollinator pathways,” she said. The effort also extends to areas along the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail. Businesses and residents will be encouraged to plant native species, according to Miceli.

about the historical aspects of the trail. As the project manager for the Cheshire segment as well, Bushee said he believes the success of that project bodes well for the future of the trail in Plainville.
"You have bicycle usage, people walking and people on scooters … there's been people with baby carriages jogging on it, families, kids with bikes,” Bushee said. “So this is your trail user, quite a diversity.”

The plans were met with a mixed response from members of the public at the recent council meeting. Supporters said it will bring a healthy transportation and recreation amenity to the town and opponents worried about the impact on property values and public safety.
