Doggy paddle

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

The coolest townie dogs enjoyed each other’s company as they paddled around Mill Pond Pool Tuesday evening. Their human companions were not allowed to swim,as it was a day for the dogs — the annual Dog Days of Summer Swim, to be precise.

Seven workers from the town’s Park and Recreation Aquatic

Department were at the pool, supervising the event and checking owners’ proof of their dogs’ rabies vaccinations. About 20 dogs and their families came to enjoy the pool for the fifth year of the annual swim, most Newington residents. Nothing too wild happened this time around, but Parks and Rec staff member Kelly Schumacher remembers one dog almost drowning another last year, before a lifeguard jumped in

to separate the pair. “A lot of times the big dogs don’t like to swim,” she added.

Newington resident Lisa Pasqualucci brought Rosie, her standard poodle who just turned 8 and is studying to be a therapy dog. The two may have the opportunity to go into convalescent homes and bring good cheer to the elderly through pet therapy if Rosie passes her qualifying test at Dog Training Center Tails-U-Win! in Manchester this fall. In the meantime, Rosie enjoyed the pool along with the other dogs — including Patches, a 6-year-old black Lab who tried desperately to build up the courage to leap off the diving board after his toy as it flew through the air.

Patches’ owner Bill Aldridge stood by the diving board coaxing him to go for the jump like he has in the past. “He seems to have forgotten he did it last year,” laughed Aldridge. After a couple of timid walks back to the beginning of the board, Patches finally bravely made the bound off its end and soared through the air into the water, proudly retrieving his toy.

Kelly Tinkham’s 7-year-old black Lab-border collie Blast was quick to use the diving board, showing off for all of his dog friends. As their families stood around watching and chatting, they all spent the evening racing after each other around the pool like little children whose parents might yell, ‘Don’t run by the pool, you’ll slip and hurt yourself!’

Both animals and people will have to wait until next summer to swim at Mill Pond Park’s pool again, as it closed for the season on Monday.

‘Blondie’ update

In last week’s Newington Town Crier, we featured the story of resident and business owner Ashley “Blondie” Stone, who is competing on the Oxygen Network’s Hair Battle Spectacular.

Monday night was the season premiere. Ashley began the episode with a “check-up challenge” where the contestants had to create a three-foot-tall fantasy hair piece based on the Twitter tweets of a celebrity. This challenge did not go how Ashley hoped it would and she opted not to turn in a piece, rather than turn in an inferior one by her standards. While the judges had some stern words for her because of this choice, it was well worth the wait for the “Glam Slam” round. Ashley came out on top over 10 other contestants with her ‘Harajuku Barbie in a box” look inspired by Nikki Minaj (whom Ashley got to meet in real life.)

Follow AshleyÂ’s progress on Monday nights, at 10 p.m. on the Oxygen Network and visit oxygen.com for her blog and pictures of the show.

NEB NEW ENGLAND BROKERAGE

In the memorandum it identified that the Capitol Region, of which Newington is a part, has made a commitment through adoption of the Plan of Conservation and Development for the Capitol Region and the Capitol Region Transportation Plan “to support these transit investments, and encourage land use planning that will spur mixed use development, including commercial offices, housing, retail and institutional uses, within a quarter to one-half mile radius of rail and bus rapid stations ‌â€? I would encourage you to take a look at these documents.

Some people on the Town Council would have you believe that if we take the grant money for removal of the National Welding building, it does not commit us to housing. As a member of your Town Council, I have asked that we formally request that the state agencies who oversee this grant, provide for us in writing, proof that acceptance will not bind us into an agreement that requires our support for housing.

I would further share with you a study completed in December 2003, which was called the “Town

of Newington: Principles for Transit-Oriented Development� completed for the New Britain — Hartford Busway Station Area Planning Project,� which was undertaken by Crosby/Schlessinger/ Smallridge, LLC and the Capitol Region Council of Government which stated, “The busway station could be surrounded with compact, mixed-use, pedestrian friendly villages, townhouse neighborhoods, or office cluster.� The question it begs is exactly what kind of village do you think one could build in the Fenn/ Cedar area?

This same study identified that the future of the Cedar and East Street Stations is directly related to plans by CCSU. It also identified that there are “significant issues related to the underdeveloped land east of the busway and traffic congestion around Route 9 and Cedar Street. Both access to underdeveloped parcels and existing congestion must be addressed in order for TOD to be feasible.� So it probably wouldn’t surprise you when I tell you that despite the fiscal crisis the state is in, the Town Council was told at the last meeting that the state has decided to give the town of

Newington’s share, a mere $450,000 back, in order to take control of the access road. Perhaps it wouldn’t surprise you to hear that the town of West Hartford hasn’t even applied for any of this grant money. It does make me wonder if West Hartford knows something we don’t know.

We, in Newington have fought long and hard to maintain the integrity of our town. At this point, I fear that there are those who would like nothing more than to turn us into an extension of Hartford, perhaps another East Hartford. Many of you have successfully kept the focus on housing on the top of the mountain. I hope you will not lose sight of what is happening on Cedar Street and Fenn Road.

Over the next few months many of your Town Council members, myself included, will be coming to your door to ask for your support. It will be a great opportunity to tell us where you stand on housing in this area, or housing in general.

Sincerely, Maureen H. Klett Town Councilor Newington

STEPHEN TOYOTA

At the July 26, 2011 Town Council meeting there was a lengthy discussion pertaining to the application of a grant request for the former National Welding property located at 600 Cedar St., near Fenn Road. The proposed application identified how this area is located in the proposed Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area.

The memo from the Town Manager spoke about the “synergy� between Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) and the town of Newington. CCSU owns over 100 acres to the east of the future New Britain — Hartford Busway, much of which is in Newington with a plan to develop an East Campus.

No matter how this land is zoned, the state will pretty much be able to do whatever they want with it, barring issues such as wetlands.

At this meeting the Town Council objected to any mention of housing in the grant application. At last Tuesday’s meeting this TOD Pilot Program Facilitation Grant Request had been revised to remove any mention of housing. However, the Town Planner mentioned that part of the criteria for approval is that the town needs to sign off on the Memorandum of Understanding In Support Of Transit Oriented Development in the Capitol Region, which does talk about housing.

JOHN BOTTALICO: TOWN COUNCIL, REPUBLICAN

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

If he takes one of the eight seats in the Town Council this year, it will be his fourth time doing so. John “Jay� Bottalico, 73, moved to Newington in 1959 and worked as a design engineer for GE in Plainville.

Retired for 10 years Bottalico now, he is able to dedicate much of his time and interest to the duties of the Town Council. “I’m here for the people of Newington,� said Bottalico. “I’m retired — I don’t have any political agenda, I just do what I think is right.�

He’s anxious to continue working with the other members of Town Council who are running again, which include Councilors Scott McBride, Maureen Klett, Myra Cohen, David Nagel and Beth DelBuono.“Everybody seems to get along really well,� said Bottalico. “You’ve got to understand how the town works.�

And his main concern is the

taxes. “Last year we had 2.8 percent

He doesn’t bear a single bit of smugness, either, admitting that anyone can serve on the council. “This is something none of us have any education in,� he said, “but you have to learn.�

McBride values the importance of listening to people in town who come to him with ideas. “I think there are hundreds of people that could do this job, so when constituents come to me with comments I McBride really listen. They have a lot of great suggestions and you have to be open to what anyone says.�

And that is why his problem with government in general is the separation of party position. “I don’t vote based on party, but based on the policy or person — if it’s a good idea for the town then it’s a good idea, it doesn’t make a difference to me who thought of it.� “I think the town is extremely well run. As my friends get older and move to surrounding towns I hear the stories about how good they had it in Newington — we have low taxes and offer a ton of services,� says McBride. “We’ve done a good job of balancing the needs of the town.�

Regarding Cedar Mountain, McBride said, “When talking about destruction of open space, it’s not a decision you can go back and rectify. We have so little of it here and I think it’s important that we make educated decisions on preserving as much as we can.�

Team racks up morale for Vegas competition Right on track at Nutmeg Games

By ERICA SCHMITT | STAFF WRITER

Fifteen pool players in Newington are headed to Vegas to test their skill on the billiards table with 700 more of the best teams from around the country. They make up an 9-ball team known as “The Pocket Pool All-Stars” and an 8-ball team that call themselves “Plain Trouble.” Both play weekly at Maguire’s Sports Bar in Newington.

They will be competing in the APA 8-and9-Ball National Team Championships — an annual competition with a national title and a portion of $600,000 in cash and prizes on the line — or on the table, that is. Both teams came out on top in their divisions at the Local Team Championship held in June, a win that earned them the exciting week in Vegas.

“The Pocket Pool All-Stars” will be flying out to Las Vegas this Friday, Aug. 17 and returning on Aug. 23. They are led by Captain Alexndre Lopes and Co-Captain Carlos Ribiero, and comprised of players Nick Phillips, John Collette, Michael Santos, Jason Fonseca, Danny Pavao and Antoni Phillips.

“Plain Trouble” is captained by Larry Ouelette and Ronald Tacey, with players Chris Szlachetka, Gregory O’Donnell, Salvatore Civiello, Jessica Lescault and Brent Micale rounding out the table. It’s their second trip, as they also qualified for Vegas in 2008, when they placed 257 out of 700 teams. “We were just some guys hanging out at the bar, three of

us in the team graduated from the same high school in ’93,” said Co-Captain Ron Tacey of his team, which have been together about six years, although they all started playing as teenagers. Tacey is more confident about their chance this time around. “This year’s team is a

much stronger team then in 2008 so I hope we can do better,” he said. “It’s a unique experience meeting teams all over the U.S.” Started by Ann and Bruce Barthelette in 1989, the Connecticut American Pool Players Association has grown to be the second largest pool league in the country, with over 7,000 active members and more than 300 taverns that host their play.To celebrate and wish them good luck,they hosted a “Vegas Send-off Party” for the 200+ players on the 24 8-and-9-ball teams from the state that qualified to compete nationally. The party was held last Sunday at Big Shots Billiards in East Windsor and the best in the business were in attendance.

Mike Dechaine, the No. 1 professional pool player in North America, showed up to do trick shots and play challenge matches with the winning teams. CT APA League Operator Bruce Barthelette, a professional trick shot artist and author of a pool and billiards book also came to show his tricks and his support.

Two “fun tournaments” were then played, with $1,000 prizes for the winners. The CT APA is providing each of the teams with airfare and three hotel rooms at the Riviera Hotel & Casino where the championship event is always held.

Check out the CT APA website at ct.apaleagues.com or call (888) APA-POOL for more information. Their next session starts in September for teams to qualify for Las Vegas 2012.

NEW BRITAIN — More than half the field in Sunday’s rescheduled Nutmeg State Games track and field event were scared away by constant rain or forced to stay away by scheduling conflicts. But those who stuck around had the opportunity to seize some coveted hardware.

Every race and throwing event went off without a hitch at New Britain’s Veterans Stadium, though the diminished field made for some anticlimactic finishes, with several races only pitting a handful of runners, and some containing only one participant.

Danielle Forrest was not dismayed however, and saw the contest as an opportunity to get in an off-season workout.

“I just wanted to see where I was for the summer,” the Newington runner said. “Since I’m not doing track [during the summer], it’s a way to see how I am, and how in shape I am.”

Aside from getting in a tune-up, Forrest was able to snatch a gold in the 100 meter dash, clocking a time of 13.9 seconds, as well as a bronze in the long jump, spanning a distance of 14.4 feet.

“It was a little bit disappointing, especially in long jump,” Forrest said, critiquing her performance. “The weather didn’t help that much but I did the best that I could.”

In spite of the ugly conditions, Forrest was able to pump herself up and take home some special awards to add to her mantle.

“It makes me really happy, it shows that it’s worth it to come out,” Forrest said. “You never know how you’ll do.”

Twelve-year-old Matt Jablonka from Wethersfield took home a gold in the mile and bronze in the 100 meter dash, and Tyler Landry of Rocky Hill placed fourth in the javelin.

Also from Rocky Hill, Peter Drakopolous took home gold in the Men’s 50+ 800 meters, clocking in at 2:45:30.
