A well-deserved honor Town Council names firefighter with 50 years of service as Volunteer of the Year By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Erica Schmitt | Staff
For his 50 years of volunteer firefighting, Richard Brown was just named Volunteer of the Year by the Newington Town Council.
His long-time service as a volunteer firefighter in Newington earned Richard Brown, 76, the town’s annual award for Volunteer of the Year. But Brown isn’t simply this year’s top volunteer; he’s spent the last 50 years of his life in altruism; fighting fires and saving lives in the town he calls home. The Town Council considered a variety of nominees during the last couple months and a sub-committee of Councilors Maureen Klett and Beth DelBuono ultimately narrowed it down to Brown. “He was certainly a very deserving honoree with an extensive history of volunteerism,” Klett said of their choice. Brown began working in Newington’s Civil Defense Fire Unit as a bright-eyed teenager but through his years of service, he learned that firefighting is so much more than he thought. “When you’re 16 years old, you join because of the excitement,” he said. “But when you get older you realize it’s about the satisfaction of helping somebody in
their time of need.” In Brown’s early years, the department used the Buffalo 1929 fire engines that now have antique status in their home at the old firehouse on Main Street. Because one had to be 21 to enter the fire department back then, he was in basic training for five years before officially joining in 1956. “It seems like there were a lot of hurricanes back in those days but we were active at some big fires, too,” Brown recollects. After graduating from the University of Hartford, he took a job in Greentown, Ohio, population 1,000. Not a lot of fires to fight there. When Brown returned to Connecticut, he bought a house in Enfield because he couldn’t afford to See LOCAL, Page 6

Although they moved to Rocky Hill in July, Michael Casasanta, CPA, CFP and his wife, former Town Councilor Meg Casasanta, have returned to Newington in a professional sense — to open up a financial planning and accounting practice. “We can never give up our ties to Newington,” joked Meg, “We have dual citizenship.” “I’ve been thinking of doing this on my own for a while and finally gathered the courage to,” added Michael, who has over 25 years of experience in financial service industries. He graduated from the University of Hartford in 1986 and worked as a certified financial planner at Hamilton Sundstrand Federal Credit Union, which is now known as 360 Federal Credit Union. For the last 6½ years, Casasanta worked in the Hartfordbased accounting firm Whittlesey & Hadley. Over the years, he has been very active in the community. A member of both the Rocky Hill and Newington chambers of commerce and just recently, the Newington Rotary Club, he also served as president of the Newington chapter of UNICO National.

Michael Casasanta, a CPA and CFP, just opened a financial planning and accounting practice at 10 East Cedar St., Newington.
Associates, LLC opened up on East Cedar Street, in the same building as Vito’s. According to Casasanta, if you have a job and need to pay taxes, you can benefit from the services of an accountant or financial planner. Services offered include tax preparation, (this is the season) book-keeping and short and long term planning — prioritizing a budget, making investments, risk management, retirement planning and protecting assets. “We prepare for the things people don’t want to think about,” Casasanta said, referring to the
steps he facilitates to prepare clients for unforeseen events. This is anyone — from the individual considering opening their own business to the parent with a child in middle school who wants to figure out how they’re going to pay for college. Or the young person up to their knees in credit card debt. Casasanta & Associates is located at 10 East Cedar St. For more information, visit casasantacpa. com or call (860) 436-9242. They will also be at the 20th Annual Home and Business Showcase on March 10 if you want to stop by and say “Hello.”

Possum loves every dog he meets and a canine friend in the home would be best to wear this happy puppy out! Possum does have some special needs — he is a Lethal White Australian Shepherd and, is therefore, completely deaf. He also has some consequential behavior quirks because of it, such as chasing his tail. Possum requires tons of exercise and training to prevent him from performing these behaviors, but boy is he worth it - Possum is as sweet as can be and definitely would win class clown. Possum also gets along with cats and would do best with children 8+ as he is still a mouthy puppy. Remember, the Connecticut Humane Society has no time limits for adoption.

Town considers lifting auto businesses ban By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
The Town Plan & Zoning Commission is considering lifting a ban put in place in 2007 that keeps auto-related businesses such as repair shops and dealerships out of Newington. When the decision was made by TPZ to ban these businesses almost entirely from town five years ago, they cited the 65 already in existence as reason enough for not needing any new additions. According to now-retired Town Planner Ed Meehan, the decision was also based in promoting the Berlin Turnpike as more of a commercial retail area. However, with the current push for new development and entrepreneurship during a dire economy, the commission chose to reconsider their options, while still being restrictive. Before sending the proposal to public hearing,the commission chose to have it reviewed by a regional planning agency. “This is the time that we want to
fill empty buildings and I don’t know that we can be picky on what we get on every level,� said Commissioner Dana Lenares. “I think there are a lot of good spaces that can benefit from this competition. It’s a good thing for everybody.� Others were more hesitant to move the proposal forward without firmer regulations. “We need to have some control over the appearance,� said Commissioner Carol Anest. Physical aspects of new businesses will be more strictly regulated if the ban is lifted and revised. This includes a building’s distance from roadways and residential areas, the number of vehicles in front lots and location of overhead garage service doors. Any new business would have to notify abutting property owners, have a public hearing and be approved by the commission. Sometime in the early spring, a public hearing will be scheduled to get residents’ input on updating the town’s auto regulations.

Town Council to mull greater tax breaks for senior and veteran residents By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Before the Town Council reviews the proposed budget for the next year, they will consider an addition to it in the form of increased tax breaks for senior and veteran residents. At its last meeting,Town Assessor Steven Juda presented the Council a breakdown of how tax exemptions for each of the two groups could be increased so they are more in line
with those that surrounding towns offer. The maximum increase to the town’s budget if all 500 seniors and 2026 veterans receive additional tax reductions is $700,000. However, the town does have the option to add funding in $50,000 increments for either group instead, or do nothing. A tight budget season has them wondering how helping these residents would affect the rest of the taxpayers, working families, single

The average senior resident currently receives a $348 tax break from the town and a $500 reduction from the state. Juda conducted a survey and found that other local towns provide an average of about $620, with some offering up to $1,300. To move Newington closer to its neighbors it would cost the town another $465,000 annually. That number would increase to $550,000 if maximum income qualifications were extended. Newington currently provides $3,000 to resident-veterans, which is roughly a $90 reduction on average. Nine percent qualify for an additional benefit based on their income level, which the town is considering raising to qualify an additional 1,000 people. In total, the maximum increase in veterans’ reductions would be at a $387,000 cost to the town. Juda has prepared various funding scenarios for the Council to consider at its next meeting Tuesday before a decision is made.

people and others who may also be struggling. “You can’t give away things to one group and not have it impact another,” Juda said, adding, “There is some sentiment to providing people over 65 with a little bit more relief as life has become tougher for them … and the exemption for veterans has remained the same for the last 30 years.” Advocates for both groups feel strongly that tax reductions should be more in line with surrounding towns, but also recognize that comes with a price to others. “We certainly know that Newington is an aging community and a lot of older adults’ income and ability to pay taxes along with other things becomes increasingly difficult, so I think a lot of people are looking for relief,” said Senior Center Director Dianne Stone. The state-mandated elderly tax relief program provides Newington with a total of $250,000 in reductions, but the town also has the ability to provide their own relief.

In 1983, Mikki Zadrowski and a small group of local artists formed the Newington Art League, a nonprofit art organization that works to provide opportunities for artistic expression for its members, and the community at large, through demonstrations, mentoring, scholarships, networking and exhibitions. The league’s goal is to engage individuals in the creation and appreciation of art and stimulate community interest. At the Newington Art League’s website, www.newingtonartleague.org, you can see a calendar of events and meetings with information about upcoming demonstrations and see samples of some members’ artwork. The league is open to anyone with an interest in the visual arts. Because it is one of the few art leagues to offer members a free evening painting workshop, we have members from all around the state. These workshops are on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Art League space at the Newington Town Hall. There is also a free members’ painting workshop on Monday mornings from 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. The Newington Art League meets on the second Wednesday of the months of March, April, May, September, October and November. The business meetings are followed by an artist’s demonstration of a particular technique or medium. In order to make our meetings more accessible, this year we
have arranged for the meetings to be held in the Ceramics Room at the Newington Senior and Disabled Center at 120 Cedar Street in Newington. Our meetings are open to the public. We would encourage attendees to join and take full advantage of what the $25 per year membership offers including the right to show your work in Newington Art League shows, participate in open workshops and the right to vote and hold office in the league. 2011 was a very busy year for the Newington Art League. In June we put together and donated two gift baskets to The Friends of the Lucy Robbins Welles Library, one with an art theme, full of art supplies and a painting of the Kellogg Eddy Farm and another with a romance theme.

Area police keeping license plate scan data, ACLU objects Newington in 10-town region using technology By PAT EATON-ROBB ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD — Police departments are keeping the data from millions of license plate scans that show when and where state drivers have been — a practice that is raising privacy concerns. The Capital Region Chiefs of Police Association, a group of 10 towns, has compiled a database of more than 3.1 million scans, including 2.1 million license plates that were read in 2011 by machines placed on the backs of patrol cars. Police use the scans to find vehicles that have expired or stolen registration tags or are linked to criminal activity.
But the database also can be accessed by the public and can be searched to show where and when a car has been scanned. The American Civil Liberties Union obtained the database through a Freedom of Information request and provided a copy to The Associated Press. It’s proposing legislation that would allow police to keep the data for two weeks only and would restrict the use of readers to law enforcement. “Once that data is shared, the police department loses all control of the data,� said David McGuire, an attorney for the ACLU of Connecticut. “You could figure out where someone works or when they leave for work. You could use the person’s travel to deduce
But the database also can be accessed by the public and can be searched to show where and when a car has been scanned.

Thereadersconsistofa365-degree camera and a similar infrared camera, connected to character-recognition software that reads license plates. Most departments keep the units operating whenever a patrol car is turned on, scanning every car the officer comes in contact with at speeds of up to 80 mph. Newington police Chief Richard Mulhall, who helped set up the system for the 10 towns in the Capital Region Chiefs of Police Association, said it began operating at the end of summer 2010 and its use has been expanding ever since.The participating departments made 839 motor vehicle arrests and 28 criminal arrests in 2011 using the technology, he said. “There was a case when an officer was responding to a fight and fire,� he said. “Our suspect said he wasn’t at the scene. One of our officers responding to the scene said,‘Let me check the file,’ and, sure enough, his plate was scanned in relatively close to the house where this occurred. Eventually, that person admitted to an arson at the house.� David McGuire of the ACLU said they are more worried about others misusing the technology. Some auto repossession companies have already begun purchasing scanners to use in their businesses, he said. It could be used by divorce lawyers, politicians looking to dig up dirt on opponents and even tabloid journalists, he said.

No Child waiver deadline extended; Conn. to apply
HARTFORD (AP) — The federal government is giving Connecticut and other states some breathing room as they prepare applications for waivers from parts of the No Child Left Behind education law.
States were expected to submit their applications on or before Tuesday, but the U.S. Department of Education recently extended the deadline to next Wednesday.. Connecticut is among about two dozen states seeking relief from
some provisions of the 2002 law, which sets strict testing rules and requires escalating levels of proficiency from all students. State officials have said they think Connecticut is well positioned to receive a waiver this spring,especially
since its sweeping education reform plans would address many of the requirements. They include reducing red tape, improving teacher evaluation methods,enacting the tougher nationwide Common Core curriculum standards
and other changes. The General Assembly is reviewing many of the proposed changes, and others are administrative reforms that are being enacted by the state Department of Education and Commissioner Stefan Pryor.

PHOTOGRAPHY DISPLAY: Throughout the month of February, Larry Gebeloff will display his photographs in the Community Room of the Lucy Robbins Welles Library in Newington. Primarily self-taught, Gebeloff has also taken several courses in advanced photography. Gebeloff photographs many subjects, but antique automobiles are among his favorites. His philosophy is simple: “everything changes once you transcend casual observation.The interplay of texture, shadow, reflection, and color can change a simple object into a work of art. Streetlights reflected on wet pavement, the sun shining on a polished car, reflections on a window, ripples on a lake� these things change reality. Gebeloff has travelled around the world trying to capture the spirit and personality of each location and object in a single photograph and has had a great time doing it. His photography frequently hangs at local Starbucks and on Main
Street in Wethersfield. He has been awarded a ribbon by the Glastonbury Autobahn Society.The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours when the Community Room is not in use for a scheduled program: Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Chellstorp started painting about 20 years ago. Many years before that, while walking along the beach during a particularly beautiful sunset, she remembers wishing that she could capture that moment in a painting.With two sons to raise as a single mother working long hours, she did not have the time to explore the arts. However, when the boys grew up and left the house, she decided to take an art class and found herself inspired to continue. She has studied with numerous painting teachers, both local and national and has exhibited in Avon, Granby Wethersfield, and Rocky Hill as part of group shows.This is her first solo show. Chellstorp is a member of the Art Leagues of West Hartford, Newington, Wethersfield as well as the Connecticut Water Color Society.The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours when the community Room is not being used for a scheduled program: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m., 95 Cedar St. (860) 665.8700.
