Big Board budget By Alex Syphers Staff Writer
The Newington Board of Education unanimously passed a proposed budget of $61,576,654 for the 2011-2012 school year on Wednesday, Feb. 9, which represents an increase of 3.94 percent over last year’s budget or a 2.69 percent net increase in funding. Newington’s Superintendent of Schools, Dr. William Collins, had originally requested
a $61,745,831 budget in January, a 2.98 percent net increase over the 2010-2011 school budget. The overall reduction in the proposed budget was a result of a reduction in the system’s Health Benefits Accounts. At the time of Collins’s original budget proposal it was unknown what amount of funds would have to be allocated for the school system’s employee benefit accounts. Initial guidance from the health benefits agent predicted
a 13 percent increase or $11,084,000. In early February it was learned that the increases to the Employee Benefits Account Budget were not as steep as predicted and could be reduced by $329,177. This reduction also allowed the Board of Education to allocate additional funds in areas of the budget that had been deferred. The budget was adjusted by the addition of $40,000 instructional materials for the Core See Budget, Page 12

Mayor Wright, move to New Britain To the Editor:
Mayor Wright wants us to have “a few years in a row of zero percent tax increases.” That is what his Republican buddy, New Britain Mayor Tim Stewart has done. How’s that working out for New Britain? I am a school social worker in New Britain and I live, every day, with the damage Mr. Stewart’s zero percent budgets have done to the schools there. Middle class moms and dads have fled New Britain for towns like Newington with better funded school systems.
Who is left in New Britain? Largely the elderly with no kids in the schools and working poor families. With higher concentrations of poor people and myriad social stressors in New Britain, CMT scores are much lower there than in middle class towns like Newington. In New Britain, class sizes are going up every year and constant behavioral difficulties interfere with quality teaching and learning. Mr. Wright should not try to force New Britain style zero budgets onto the citizens of
Newington who moved here for a reason; our excellent schools. Stop Mr. Wright before he drives up class sizes, drives down the quality of our schools by starving them, and drives out our middle class families. Or better yet, Mr. Wright could do us all a favor by moving to New Britain. They would love his takeno-prisoners political style there and we could continue with the business of making Newington schools the best in Connecticut. It would be a win-win! Mitch Page, Newington

Boy Scouts of Troop 347 in Ad Altare Dei
The Ad Altare Dei emblem program assists Boy Scouts in grades 7-12 to develop a fully Christian way of lifea in their faith communities. The program is organized in steps based on the seven sacraments. These sacraments are a primary means toward spiritual growth. The purpose of the Ad Altare Dei program is to help equip the scout to take his place in the world as a maturing Catholic. The requirements center on the sacraments and concern themselves with action and knowledge. The scout is to live, and apply to his daily life, the teachings of the church. It will become evident to the scout as he progresses through the program that there is a close connection between his life as a scout and his life as a Catholic. To really and truly earn and wear the medal, the scout will live up to every aspect of the Scouting Spirit. The program takes about 15 to 20 classes to complete for most scouts.

Market Square redevelopment priced at over $1 million By Alex Syphers Staff Writer
The redevelopment of Market Square came one step closer to breaking ground last Monday, Feb. 14, as the revitalization committee reviewed the preliminary cost estimates provided by project designers Milone & MacBroom. According to the consulting company, the Market Square redevelopment would cost an estimated $1.3 million with all the proposed improvements. The committee reviewed the estimated costs and was able to cut some options in the Milone & MacBroom plan it did not see as necessary. During the meeting the committee was able to reduce the estimated cost of the project to just over $1 million. “We are pretty confident with value engineering we can get it down below $1 million and maybe even lower than that,” said committee chairman Scott
McBride, during an interview last week. The committee currently has a fund of $900,000 set aside to spend on the revitalization, including two state grants totaling $550,000, and $350,000 the town has allocated for the project. The committee plans to send the project out to bid sometime this spring, although no official date has been set. According to McBride the committee is taking the time to prepare the project correctly and as cost efficiently as possible. “There is a very good chance when we put the project out to bid to a contractor his bids, because of the market out there, his bids will comeback even lower than we estimated,” McBride said. The changes the committee made during its meeting reduced the number of optional items Milone & MacBroom included in the plan such as the number of trash receptacles and bike
racks. cost of trees to $10,800.

been proposed to be included in the bid alternate. “If down the road we decide we have extra money, we can add them in after the fact,” said McBride. “We figured that just by doing what we have done, we have really trimmed down this project and really cut some of the money on it and we think there will be room to do that in the future.” The committee will further discuss the project with Milone & MacBroom when they bring the amended cost estimates to the Feb. 28 revitalization committee meeting. The next step, said McBride, is to contact the local businesses along the street in an effort to inform and involve them with the project. “We want to work with them so that everyone is happy with this project and that everything is fair across the board for both the town and the property owners,” he said.
Council upset of mayor’s appointment of attorney for FOI case By Alex Syphers Staff Writer
Members of the Newington Town Council showed discontent with Mayor (R) Jeffery Wright last week, for his decision to appoint the town attorney as the legal representation during Councilor (R) Meg Casasanta’s Freedom of Information hearing against the Newington Board of Education. Casasanta filed her FOI request against the Board of Education in late August, filing formally as a council member. The FOI request stems from an initial request Casasanta made of the Board of Education in July, concerning $10 million that was still left in the Board of Education’s budget at the end of June. Casasanta asked the Board of Education to provide all purchase orders, and invoices made by the board from May to June, in an effort to explain the excess funds. The Board of Education stated that the information request would amount to 6,000 pages of
documentation and at 50 cents a page was too expensive and timeconsuming a request. Board of Education Chairman Stephen Woods instead offered to meet with Casasanta to discuss the requested information. After discussions between her and the Board of Education came to a stalemate, Casasanta filed for a Freedom of Inf or mation request. Casasanta and the Board of Education had their first Freedom of Information hearing Jan. 20, at which Town Attorney Ben Ancona represented Casasanta. During last week’s town council meeting, Democratic Majority Leader Chris Banach questioned
Wright’s decision to appoint Ancona as the legal representation, adding that he had received a letter from the Board of Education informing him of the action. “Does the town council support the decision and has it authorized the town attorney to make the claim against the Board of Education,” asked Banach. “Just as a matter of protocol, procedure,courtesy, whatever, shouldn’t we have been notified that this was going to take place?” Wright said that he had requested the representation of Ancona upon hearing that the Newington Board of Education had sought the legal representation of Attorney Thomas Mooney in the FOIA request. He had
Wright said that he did not believe he needed to respond to the Board’s letter stating that he was within his rights as mayor to request the attorney’s representation.
requested Ancona a week prior to the Jan. 20 FOI hearing. “I made this decision. It’s based on the charter and as mayor I have the authorization to have the legal counsel there for any councilor,” said Wright. Banach stated that the Board of Education had requested and deserved a formal response for the decision made by Wright. Wright said that he did not believe he needed to respond to the Board’s letter stating that he was within his rights as mayor to request the attorney’s representation. “You can write a letter to them if you want to, I am not going to write a letter,” said Wright, “I think this whole discussion, this whole action we have been forced to, is inappropriate, I think the Board of Education should provide the information.” Some council members believed that the appointment of Ancona and the fact that Casasanta filed as a council member may give the false impression that the entire town council is behind the FOI request.
“The perception is that she [Casasanta] is doing this on behalf of the town council,” said (D) Scott McBride, at a later interview, “the whole point of the letter is to show that she is doing this on her own behalf.” Casasanta told the council that “the representation by Attorney Ancona was made by Mayor Wright; I was perfectly willing to go in there by my own.” Councilor (D) Maureen Klett requested that Ancona formally file his opinion that he was within the town charter’s bounds to represent Casasanta. As of Feb. 22, no formal letter had been submitted to the Board of Education or the FOI commission. Ancona and Mooney will file brief arguments of their cases to the FOI public hearing officer March 17. The public hearing officer will forward its findings to the FOI Commission, which can reject, accept, or alternate, the public hearing officer’s findings. The verdict may not be announced for another two months.

New library director chosen By Alex Syphers Staff Writer
The seven-month search for Newington’s next library director came to an end Monday, Feb. 14, when it was announced by the library Board of Trustees that Donna Miller of Avon is to become the new director of the Lucy Robbins Welles Library. “She really had great enthusiasm to come to Newington. Her knowledge and experience in library work is really outstanding,” said Eric Rothauser, president of the Library Board of Trustees. “I think she will be a great fit. I think she will take the library forward as we hoped the new director would, and we are very excited about the future.” Miller has spent the past 26 years of her career working for the Avon Public Library. She served as the library’s assistant director for 21 of those years. Miller will officially begin her tenure as Newington’s newest library director April 4. “Her exuberance and communication skills to be able to communicate with the board, the citizens, and other staff were just outstanding,” said Town Manager John Salomone. Rothauser and Salomone both commented that Miller was a final choice due to her impressive technical knowledge and social communication ability. “She is very tech orientated…,” said Salomone. “But even more than that she was an assistant director and knows how to handle human resources.” Miller is replacing former Director Marian Amodeo, who, after 33 years, left the Newington library this past July to work as the chief public services officer of the Hartford Public Library. During the seven month search, the library sifted through 35 director hopefuls, slowly narrowing the applicant selection down to four,
then two, before making the final decision. “We decided not to rush it and to take our time and make sure we made the right decision,” said Rothauser. According to the town charter, the town manager was responsible for appointing the library director with the concurrence of the library board. After submitting his decision, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the appointment of Miller as the new library director. “It has been a very good process between the library board and the town manager,” said Rothauser. “It has been very collaborative. He has heard all of our thoughts and heard all of our positions. It has been a very good process and because of that I think we have a very strong candidate that will be a great fit for the library.” Rothauser pointed out that without the help of Lisa Masten, acting director of the Lucy Robbins Welles Library, the Board of Trustees could not have been as thorough in its search for the library director. “The library has been under wonderful leadership for the last seven months,” he said. “And, certainly, because of that we had the luxury of taking our time and making sure we selected the right person.” It was also pointed out that in the coming years the library plans to expand its walls and as Avon’s assistant director, Miller was involved in that library’s recent expansion project, which broke ground in December. “Donna has quite a bit of experience marshaling a library through an expansion project,” said Rothauser. “At this point it is still preliminary for us but down the road we are going to have to expand and with Donna’s knowledge in that regard it will be very helpful for the library.” “She can really hit the ground running.” said Salomone.

Newington Memorial Funeral Home receives ‘Pursuit of Excellence Award’
Both Newington Memorial Funeral Home in Newington and Burritt Hill Funeral Home in New Britain, were honored with 2010 Pursuit of Excellence® Awards from the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) during its International Convention & Expo in New Orleans, La. Both funeral homes are owned by the Duksa family. Only 166 firms from around the world received this prestigious recognition, placing Newington Memorial Funeral Home among an elite group of funeral service professionals. Pursuit of Excellence Award recipients raise the bar on funeral service excellence by adhering to the highest ethical and professional standards and providing unsurpassed service to families and communities. In addition to receiving the Pursuit of Excellence Award, Newington Memorial Funeral Home was inducted into the NFDA Hall of Excellence for its longstanding participation in the Pursuit of Excellence program and consistent display of service excellence.
NFDA-member funeral homes are inducted into the Hall of Excellence upon receiving their 10th Pursuit of Excellence Award. Only 94 funeral service providers nationwide and abroad have been inducted into the Hall of Excellence since its inception in 2006. “Newington Memorial’s and Burritt Hill’s voluntary participation in the Pursuit of Excellence program reflects a clear determination to exceed the expectations of those they serve,” explained NFDA Chief Executive Officer Christine Pepper, CAE. “This prestigious recognition assures families of the high-quality, compassionate service they will receive the moment they walk through the funeral home’s front door.” “Our family and staff are committed to providing the highest standards of care to those we are so privileged to serve,” said Diana Duksa Kurz, CFSP, a licensed funeral director and owner of Newington Memorial Funeral Home and Burritt Hill Funeral Home. “For three generations, families have placed their trust in us at their time of need and it is a
tremendous honor to be recognized for our exemplary care.” To achieve the Pursuit of Excellence Award, NFDA-member funeral homes must evaluate components of their business against standards set forth by the Pursuit of Excellence program and demonstrate proficiency in key areas of the funeral service profession. Participants are required to fulfill criteria in six categories of achievement that demonstrate commitment to: complying with state and federal regulations; providing ongoing education and professional development opportunities for staff; offering outstanding programs and resources to bereaved families; maintaining an active level of involvement within the community; participating and actively serving in the funeral service profession; and promoting funeral home services through a variety of marketing, advertising and public relations programs.

Outdoor hockey: a game to remember, despite a loss By Joe Fortunato Staff Writer
EAST HARTFORD — The sun was shining, birds were chirping and a solid wind was blowing. Two teams were going at one another at Rentshler Field while the crowd was going wild. You would have been forgiven if you thought you were at a UConn football game. The reality was that Newington-Berlin was taking on Farmington in the first of three outdoor hockey events scheduled for Saturday Feb. 19. And what a show it was as Farmington edged Newington 2-1 at the football stadium. The first period started as expected, with both teams skating pie-eyed around the ice, overwhelmed by the atmosphere. And who could blame them? But the kickoff jitters did lead to some sloppy play. Farmington started the scoring early, when Brian Cohan took advantage of Newington’s inability to clear the zone, sliding the puck between goaltender Mike Reynolds’ legs and into the net for a 1-0 Farmington lead just 47 seconds into the game. If Newington was rattled by the early goal it didn’t show it. Newington started winning the
loose pucks, and pressing in the offensive zone, creating scoring chances. The pressure lead to Matt Coco finding some space in the high slot, and putting the puck into the back of the net to knot the score at one. Both teams would settle in after the Newington goal, and scoring chances were at a premium for the rest of the period. But Farmington would break the tie with three minutes left in the period when Dominic Bazzano’s shot knuckled over Reynolds’ glove hand off the crossbar and into the net. Newington would have a chance to tie the game with 10 seconds left when Timothy Ouellette drove into the Farmington zone on a semi-breakaway, but his shot missed the net. Both goalies were probably glad to see the end of the first, as they tried to settle into the different game experience. Newington coach David Harackiewicz thought the goaltenders had the biggest transition to make in playing outdoors. “I think the goaltenders were getting used to a number of different things; the sun and the win threw them off a little,” he said. “But once they got settled in

it was much easier for them.” The defensive battle would continue into the second. Neither team really found a way to take control of the game, although both teams did trade penalties late in the period, which allowed for more offensive play but no goals. Newington did get its best chances at the end of the game when Brendon Richard had two point-blank chances in the slot that were denied by Tyler Bailey. Down 2-1, Newington knew it had to press in the third, and it did, but to no avail. Farmington goalie Kyle Chemente made numerous big saves throughout the third period to preserve Farmington’s 2-1 lead. Harackiewicz was happy with his team’s play offensively. “We had our chances, we outshot them, but we couldn’t put the puck into the back of the net,” he said. The final three minutes ended up being a mad scramble for Newington, but it couldn’t find

a way to score. And while the 2-1 loss might not be ideal Harackiewicz admitted the experience would be vital moving forward. “This is a once in a lifetime situation and just seeing the stadium walking in and everything that you get to take in is just phenomenal,” he said. “It was a tremendous experience. I wish we would have won, but overall it was a fantastic experience.” Aside f rom the emotional experiences, the actual hockey experience will be big for Newington moving forward as well. Newington is still fighting to clinch the second seed in its conference and Harackiewicz believes this game will go a long way to helping the team obtain that goal. “I think they hopefully appreci-
ate the way the game is supposed to be played outdoors,” he said. “This is what it’s all about. Having the experiences we’ve had this year with the trip to Maine and this experience right here it brings everyone closer together.” The players aren’t the only ones taking something from this experience, Harackiewicz is as well. “It’s a special day to share with the players and the coaching staff, especially that it’s the Whale bowl game,” he said. “I was honored to be able to kick them off. I’ve been involved in hockey a long time and this is the first time I’ve ever experienced an official outdoor game.” The experience will stay with everyone involved not just for their battle in states but for the rest of their lives.

Budget for Board of Ed increases, not as much as it may have Continued from Page 1
Curriculum accounts: $90,000 in the Technology account, and $30,000 in the Maintenance account, all of which had deferred increases until the 2012-2013 fiscal year. “We weren’t specific,” said Board Chairman Stephen Woods. “We were going to leave it up to the superintendent as to what he could do best for us with numbers, as far as computers, laptops, whatever he thought the system needed
most.” School system employees will receive a 3.8 percent increase in wages in the coming school year or $41,818,064 in total salary costs. Teachers’ wage increases are part of union and Board of Education negotiations, which were contractually agreed upon in 2007, said Woods. “Right now we have an obligation to fulfill that contract and we are doing that,” said Woods, “but we have to structure our
budget differently because of that. We can’t take from the salary side other than reducing staff.” The Board of Education is estimating the reduction of 12 to 24 teaching positions next year, including retirements and layoffs. The cut in the teaching force will reflect $794,620 reduction in salary costs. The position reductions and a federal grant of $738,638 bring the amount of funds requested by the board to pay for
salaries to $40,284,906. The overall net increase of salaries will be 0 percent. Special Education has increased 20.7 percent, or $567,369, since the 2010-2011 school year for a total of $2,736,445. This represents .95 percent increase on the overall budget. The Board of Education budget is set to hit the desk of Town Manager John Salomone and will be used to formulate the town’s budget for the fiscal year 2011-2012.
