The somber sound of Taps echoed through the Newington Town Hall the morning of Nov. 11, as residents from around the town gathered in the front foyer to commemorate the service and sacrifice made by Newington’s military veterans. The ceremony was lead by Command Sgt. Major Ken O’Brien, a 30 year veteran of the Army Reserve. He was joined by former Marine Corps Reservist, Mayor Jeff Wright, who opened the ceremony with remarks about the importance of the military when it comes to preserving the America’s freedom. “Their sacrifices have made America the greatest country in the world: that dedication to fight for what’s right — to do the right thing,” Wright said. In his speech Wright saluted the Korean War veterans sitting in the audience.

Council sends Clem Lemire project to bid By Alex Syphers

Staff Writer

The Clem Lemire Artificial Turf Field Project is making its way through the maze of logistical procedures as the Newington Town Council approved the site plans at its last meeting and has sent the project out to bid. The site construction plans, as provided by Milone and MacBroom consulting of Cheshire, include 11 items slated for construction or improvements. The Town Council voted to approve seven items on the list to include in the bid and keep the remaining items as alternative options for the project depending on the

bid results. As required by town regulations, the council must vote to approve the development plans in order to send the plan to contractors for a bid. “At this point what you are approving is the concept of the plan in general and generally the scope of the project,” said Town Manager John Salomone. “The costs here are estimates based on the engineering. They may come in higher or lower.” The seven items the council did approve included site preparation, the artificial turf, drainage improvements and the inclusion of sidewalks, curbing, and fencing around the See Clem, Page 10

TPZ cites safety concerns in looking to ban street vending ALEX SYPHERS Staff Writer

The roadside hot dog and grill truck may become a thing of the past in Newington as the Planning and Zoning Commission is trying to pass changes in the town ordinance to prohibit such establishments in the town due to safety concerns. Representatives from the TPZ met with the Town Council to discuss the future of street vending in town and expressed their desire to see that the sale of food from roadside trucks would be abolished from the town by 2012. The desired change in the ordinance as read by TPZ Chairman states that, “The peddling of merchandise and food vending within the Town is prohibited except when conducted in conjunction with a town-sponsored event or an event approved under Chapter 361 of this ordinance as a ‘Special Event’.” The change allows for a one year “grandfathering” period for current vendors. The areas designated for street vending were established by a commission in 1992 and were based on safety, traffic flow, and the location of established restaurants at the time. The regulations established by the commission in April 1992 state that the street vendors are able to sell their merchandise from nine designated locations within the town limits

for up to one year, with a permit. The original ordinances of 1992 stated that this area would be evaluated upon installation of a traffic signal and the opening of the shops in the Newington Fair plaza. “These vendors, for some reason, feel they have the inherent right to a location forever when in reality this permit that is issued is for one year only,” said TPZ member Dominic Pane. The representatives from the TPZ expressed their concerns that the areas and street vending itself have become unsafe since the 1992 regulations were passed. “I think the entire commission agreed that it [street vending] should just be eliminated,” Pane said. “It’s been 18 years since we reviewed all this stuff and the council reviewed it, and in 18 years the traffic in all the Town of Newington has increased to the point of wHere it’s not a practical thing to have on the roadways.” Pane used the example of a former Maselli Road vendor, showing photographs to the Town Council of what he believed was a dangerous situation. The vendor located at the corner of Pane Road and Maselli Road, Blanche’s Roadside Grill, had already discontinued their service before the TPZ came to the Town Council, leaving the only vendor in town on Constance Leigh Drive. The Newington Police

Department reviewed the traffic and safety concerns expressed by the TPZ in August. In the report from the NPD, Chief Richard Mulhall stated that they did not see any safety issues with the vendor and there have been no traffic accidents or complaints due to street vendors. “I take offense to that because I have a commercial building down there. I have two building there and I drive around that area a lot, and I have reported quite a few instances to the police department,” Pane said. The regulations established on street vending in 1992 gave the Newington Chief of Police jurisdiction over the locations and safety of the street vendors. “My feeling is that we have a professional police department. they should be the ones that determine the safety of a particular location. that hasn’t changed since 1992,” said Town Manager John Salomone. Councilor Meg Casasanta echoed the importance of the police department saying, “I realize commissioner Pane has a property there and it conflicts with his interests, but we need to very careful and allow the police department to do their job, and allowing business who wish to remain in Newington even if it is just street vending. we allow them to do that legally like they are doing now.”

field. Milone and MacBroom estimated the costs for the base bid to be close to $1.14 million if started by 2011. If the project is not started until after 2011 Milone and MacBroom estimated a 5 percent to 7 percent increase in costs. The alternative options the council did not approve to send to bid included field lighting for $$220,000, bleachers for $52,000, and bleacher padding for $30,000. According to councilor Maureen Klett, chairwoman of the Clem Lemire Artificial Turf Committee, the committee has about $670,000 available for the project currently, and is hoping to receive an additional $640,000 grant in the spring from the state Capital Improvement Program. “We cannot award any bid without having any funds in place,” Salomone said. “After the bid is received and analyzed then at that point then we will known what the final number would be if it needs to be supplemented,

and I will tell you it will need to be supplemented, whether it has to be supplemented to the tune of $640,000 is anybody’s guess. We’re hopeful there are items on here that will be less because of the bidding environment.” “There is the hope that with the economy the way it is people will be hungry for business and that this will come back in at a lower dollar figure,” Klett said. “There is no obligation on our part to accept the Maureen Klett councilor bid.” The Clem L e m i r e Committee is looking to save money by reducing the amount of material that needs to be transported off site by making berms to reduce the size of hills on

the north side of the park, said Councilor Mike Lenares. Milone and MacBroom estimated the costs of excavation and material removal to be in the range of $160,000. The artificial turf committee hopes to begin construction next spring or to at least have a better sense of the project costs. Having a bid in by March, as the committee suggested, would allow the town to review the project and allocate funds before finalizing the town’s fiscal budget in April. “We don’t know where we are at until we get these true figures in there,” Lenares told the council. “Let’s get a true figure, a true number, then we can get a true idea instead of having a guessing game about where we will be.”

“There is the hope that with the economy the way it is people will be hungry for business and that this will come back in at a lower dollar figure.”

By Andy Ragali Staff Writer

“They’re better than their record shows. We have a rivalry, so anything can happen this game.”

All season Campanello has only asked that his team improve every week, and preparation for this game is no different. “We’re just trying to get ready,” he said. “Trying to get better ourselves.” On the Newington side, the Indians are led by quarterback Jon Snyder, who has been carrying the team with his arm and his feet. Snyder has Michael Vick like elusiveness, and Hillyer said that he is more than capable of putting in a Vick-like performance like the Eagles quarterback had against the Redskins this NFL season. Snyder’s favorite targets

are Freddy Burgos, Trevor Colossa, and Alex Lomaglio. All three receivers have sure hands and good speed, and as of late with the Indian passing game becoming more and more important, have stepped up to the plate. “I think we’re getting better on offense,” Hillyer. “It comes with experience. The running game has kind of evaporated.” Hillyer feels it’s important for his team to establish a running game against Wethersfield, not wanting his offense becoming too predictable. The Thanksgiving Day game is more than a tradition, it’s

bragging rights. Both communities will be out to support their town. It’s not just about the game, but about the festivity and the big crowds and high emotions. Hillyer said the game “is what high school football is all about,” and he didn’t even play in Thanksgiving Day games growing up in New York. “It shapes how players think of their football experience afterwards,” he added. It ’s of significance for the two towns as well as the two high schools, but for players there is no game of more importance then the Thanksgiving Day game.
