The new building is about 7,000 square feet,” he said. “The bottom line is since we opened that new office, we’ve done really well. We’ve outgrown it.” About 5,000 square feet in the new building will be medical space — including 12 examination rooms and a blood draw station, Boyle said. The medical services it will offer include primary care, general surgery, orthopedics, podiatry, psychiatry, behavioral health, pulmonary medicine and urology. The building at 167 Main St. originally opened as a Rite Aid Pharmacy in 1984.

Town records show the planning & zoning department and town engineer approved a permit request to convert the space into a medical office last spring. That permit was requested by developer Florian Properties, which owns the property. Town property records show the property was purchased by Format LLC for $695,000 in December 2018. According to state business filings, Format’s principal is listed as Mathew W. Florian, who is also
the manager of Florian Properties. Bristol Health is paying to renovate the building, which it will be leasing. The exact total was not available on Friday. “The old location was a great way to get established in Southington,” Boyle said. “With the new office, we look forward to really providing what we pride ourselves on — great safe and quality care.” mgagne@record-journal.com 203-317-2231 Twitter:@MikeGagneRJ

servation and development is a top concern for voters, he said. Morelli is in favor of using a combination of land and development rights purchasing to maintain open land. “The only way to stop development of a property is to take it off the market,” he said. The council didn’t include development rights in a referendum last year authorizing spending on open space. In 2015, the Republican-led council bought development rights for Hawk’s Landing Country Club for just under $1 million. “There will never be 35 houses built there,” Morelli said, citing an estimate of how many homes could be built on the golf course. “It’s an integral portion of that whole space in town.” Developments rights as an open space preservation tool needs to be better explained
to residents, Morelli said. Often taxpayers expect to be able to use any land on which public money is spent. Chris Poulos, an incumbent Democrat running for reelection, said he’s not opposed to development rights but wants them voted on in a separate referendum. For the past few years, the town has requested $2 million from voters for the purchase of open space. “If you want to secure money for development rights, I think it should be a separate transaction so when people vote, they know what they’re voting for,” Poulos said. “We have to be fair to the residents and we have to be open and transparent when we ask for something.” William Dziedzic, a Republican councilor running for reelection, said development rights had some advantages over open space purchases since they don’t burden the town with the cost of maintaining land. “We need to be careful and smart about how we spend
taxpayer dollars,” Dziedzic said. He’s also heard concerns about development but said there are limitations to what the town can do. “I think it’s important for the taxpayer to understand that taxpayers can do what they want with their property as long as it’s within the zoning regulations,” Dziedzic said. Dziedzic feels the next Town Council will face some hard choices, including more state liability pushed on municipalities. “We have some challenges coming to us in the near future,” he said. “Throughout this we will have to maintain fiscal discipline without sacrificing core services.” Poulos said voters have been happy with the fiscal decisions made by the Democrat-led council. “The most common comment I’m getting from people is that they’re pleased with the fact that we’ve kept taxes virtually flat in the past two years,” he said.

Dziedzic said that the “facts were the facts” on tax increases but credited them more to the restoration of state aid late in the fiscal year and grand list growth. Poulos said he’s focused on smart economic development and that the whole council has been better informed. Rather than work taking place in committee, town officials give economic development reports to the entire council, in public when possible and in executive session when there are pending deals. “I enjoy being in the loop,” he said. “I’m pleased with what we’ve done.” jbuchanan@ record-journal.com 203-317-2230 Twitter: @JBuchananRJ

If the weather is good, Lapreay is expecting to draw about 100,000 people over the two weekends. Admission and parking are also free of charge. “It’s been great. We get to see people we haven’t seen in awhile and interact with new people we’ve never met,” said Sharon Kupiec, a festival volunteer. “This is a neat little town and a supportive town. The festival brings people in to see how hospitable we are.” Norris Bennett was attending with her daughter for the fifth straight year. “I’ve got a fritter in my hand, the weather is beautiful, I’m with my daughter and the town is just so cute,” she said. “It doesn’t get much more fall than that.”
Gracie Marcantonio, 3, of Southington, rides in a wagon with a Dora the Explorer balloon.
The festival also benefits nearby businesses. “We have merchants in the area that are packed with people, the restaurants, the bars,” Lapreay said.

Appraisal work begins Oct. 15 The appraisal firm of Vision Government Solutions, Inc. has been hired by the Town of Southington to perform the 2020 town-wide revaluation project as mandated by the State of Connecticut. A revaluation is the process of performing all of the necessary Market Analysis and Valuation steps to determine accurate and equitable values for all properties within Southington’s borders. The primary purpose of this revaluation is to eliminate any assessment inequities that may have developed since the previous revaluation in 2015. Once real property assessments are updated to reflect their fair market values as of Oct. 1, 2020, Southington’s real property tax burden will be balanced among its taxpayers. The purpose of a revaluation is not to increase taxes. The purpose is to create an equitable distribution of the tax load. Over the next year, representatives from Vision will be verifying information currently on file with the Assessor’s office as well as visiting properties. This work will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 15. All Vision representatives will be wearing an identification badge and their vehicles will be registered with the police department. Each vehicle should also bear an identifying magnet on its side. Homeowners are encouraged to ask for this identification prior to admitting anyone into their homes.

A free concert by the Spin Doctors is slated for the annual Apple Harvest Festival on Saturday.
Scheckman said the band plays shows mostly on weekends from March through November, hopping from town to town.
“The sound is kind of iconic,” he said, adding The New York-based band, that the band members towhich formed 30 years gether “just have the craziago, peaked in popularity est combination of styles, in the mid- and that’s what keeps it 1990s fresh.” when Comess said the band tries “Two to give a great show wherPrinces” and “Little ever they play, so playing Miss Can’t an outdoor festival isn’t that different from Be Wrong” topped the a club venue. rock charts. The concert is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. Oct. 12 on the main stage.
“As long as the people are there and into it, we have a great time,” he said.
The band’s lineup includes all four original members: singer Chris Barron, guitarist Eric Scheckman, bassist Mark White and drummer Aaron Comess.
Making a living in the music industry for 30 years is a difficult thing to do, but the band members keep themselves busy, sitting in on session recording and creating solo projects.
Scheckman and Comess recently spoke with the Record-Journal’s “On the Record: Music” podcast.
Scheckman released an album this year called “Who Shot John?” and is touring in support of it later this year.
Comess said that after 30 years, the band members still “have a great chemistry” and this year “we’re sounding better than we’ve every sounded.” “Even when we play those old songs, we tend to improvise a lot and play different set lists in our shows,” he said, “and we mix it up with the newer material … so everything just stays really fresh.”
Chris Palmieri, who coordinates festival entertainment, said organizers wanted to find a band “with a wide appeal and (we) feel they are the perfect choice.” “People of all ages are excited to hear them play,” he said.

HERE ARE THIS WEEK’S MALE & FEMALE NOMINEES .
A17
..........
ALEC FRIONE
SACARIA COOPER
The Cheshire football team served notice with Friday’s 24-12 road upset of No. 5 Shelton. And for those who hadn’t noticed the sort of season Cheshire senior WR/DB Alec Frione has been having, they should take note now. Frione caught a 20-yard TD pass and immediately followed it up with a 20-yard interception return to put the Rams ahead in the third quarter. Frione, who averages 20 yard a catch, has four TDs and three INTs on the season.
Wilcox Tech volleyball coach Sue Planinshek said going into the season that Sacaria Cooper would be a player to watch. She was spot-on. Cooper started modestly, then absolutely took off. Last Wednesday, the junior put down an area-high 22 kills and served five aces to lead the Indians past Kaynor Tech in a five-set marathon in Waterbury in which the Tribe twice erased one-set deficits. With Cooper’s contributions, Wilcox hit midseason at 9-1.
SHAKESPEARE RODRIGUEZ
LYDIA DELLIPAOLI
The guy with the classic name continues to have classic game for the Lyman Hall football team. Senior WR/FS Shakespeare Rodriguez led the Trojans to 3-1 with Friday’s 20-12 win in Milford over Foran. Rodriguez scored all three touchdowns for LH, including a pair of catch-and-runs from S.P. Pragano that went for 70-plus yards. He also picked off a pass. Rodriguez has 12 TDs on the season (9 receiving, 3 rushing) and 27 catches for 608 yards.
In a match closer than the 3-0 final score indicates, Sheehan volleyball swept Lyman Hall on “Go Pink” night last Thursday on the Trojans’ floor. Serving out the victory with a 6-0 run that featured two aces was Lydia Dellipaoli. The two aces capped a solid night for the Sheehan junior. Dellipoali chalked up 8 digs, 6 kills and 3 aces. “She’s smart with her serves,” said coach Victoria Sperrazza. “She can see the court really and see what spots are open.”
REYNALDO TORRES
EMMA PANARELLA
Maloney junior cross country runner Reynaldo Torres started the month of October logging a personal-best time of 17:20 at Hubbard Park. The very next day — an unseasonably warm one at that — Torres was down at Sheehan, shredding 12 seconds off that PR to win the Neubauer Invitational in 17:08. It was a signature win at a signature meet for Torres, who will be the favorite to win at the Meriden City Championships on Thursday at Hubbard.
Southington senior captain Emma Panarella has a signature no-look pass. Coach Mike Linehan knows it well. He’s been watching Panarella pull it off since her freshman year, when she cracked the varsity lineup in the midfield “Her vision and distribution on the field is at a college level,” he said. “She reads the game so well she can make decisions before she receives the ball.” A catalyst on offense and defense, Panarella has 5 assists for the 7-0 Knights.
