Declining home values led an overall 80 percent decline in real estate values in town since last year, virtually guaranteeing an increase in the mil rate. The overall Oct. 1, 2011 real estate grand list dropped 4 percent — or $104 million, said Assessor Steve Juda. The only thing preventing it from being worse, he said, is a red-hot market for retail properties along the Berlin Turnpike and increased rental rates, which boosted the Volume 52, No. 44

value of apartment building. Here’s the breakdown of property values and how they have changed, based on the recently completed revaluation, the first
since 2005: • Residential, assessed at $1.64 billion, down $128,778 million or 7.3 percent from last year. • Commercial, assessed at $382.8 million, up $12 million or 3.3 percent • Industrial, assessed at $133.3 million, down $4 million or 3 percent • Vacant land, assessed at $27.08 million, up $3.8 million, or 16.3 percent • Apartments, assesses at $70.24 million, up $12.9 million, or 22.6 percent “This is an abnormal revaluation,” Juda said. “You’ll begin to notice in the news there’s going to be declines in towns’ grand lists through revaluation.” The assessment reveals that many properties went down in value since the last revaluation in

Dems pick Lopes to run in the 24th By ROBERT STORACE STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — It took three ballots, but Democrat Rick Lopes eventually won his party’s nomination Tuesday night for the 24th District House seat. Lopes, who was challenging New Britain Mayor Pro Tem Michael Trueworthy and New Britain Board of Education Chairman Sharon Beloin-Saavedra, received seven votes, a simple majority, on the third and final ballot at the convention, held at Newington Town Hall. The first ballot had Lopes with five and Trueworthy and Beloin-
Saavedra with four each. Trueworthy withdrew his name after receiving three votes in the second ballot to Lopes’ six and four for Beloin-Saavedra. The delegates were chosen by the Democratic town committees in New Britain and Newington — specifically 11 delegates represented New Britain while two represented Newington. The final tally Tuesday was Lopes, seven votes and Beloin-Saavedra, six. Lopes, 40, a New Britain resident and project manager for the state Department of Administrative Services, said his five-week campaign would focus

on education. Lopes will face-off against Peter Steele in the Jan. 10 special election. The winner will replace Timothy O’Brien, who vacated his seat after he was elected mayor of New Britain earlier this month. Both Trueworthy and Beloin-Saavedra threw their support behind Lopes, ruling out a run as a petition candidate. The 24th District covers a third of the city including Wards 1,2 and 5. It also includes a portion of the southern end of Newington, which is District 5. Following his nomination Tuesday, Lopes said he would be ready to hit the ground running should he win the special election. “The job of a state representatives is to bring state aid to their city,” Lopes said. “I want to concentrate on education funding.” Lopes has owned a West Hartford-based property management for 18 years. He said his business background will enable him to have “a thoughtful and pragmatic approach to state budgeting.”

Woman charged in pill fraud
By ERICA SCHMITT
SOUTHINGTON — A Newington woman on probation for dozens of fraudulent drug purchases is free on bond following her arrest last week on charges she used a relative’s name to purchase narcotic cough syrup at least eight times in town, police said. Lori Matteson, 34, of 112 Eagle Lane, continued to fill fraudulent prescriptions even as police from several area towns were issuing warrants for her arrest on similar charges, court records indicate. Matteson is accused by Southington police of purchasing cough syrup with Hydrocodone at least eight times by using the name of a relative who reported to authorities that her name was being used to fill prescriptions, police Sgt. Lowell DePalma said. The incidents occurred in 2010 and into this year in New Britain, Newington, Plainville, Windsor and Glastonbury.

The police chiefs from Wethersfield, Newington, Cromwell, Berlin and Rocky Hill, known as the Mid-State Chief Group — are hoping to secure a grant to create a regional crime investigation unit. Each of the chiefs is requesting the support of their local governments, including Newington Police Chief Richard Mulhall, who asked the Town Council last week for a resolution in support of the initiative. The council will vote on it at their next meeting, Dec. 13. The proposed Mid-State Regional Crime Scene Unit would service all five communities, comprised of more than 110,000 residents. According to the memorandum given to Town Council, the unit would provide a number of benefits to crime scene investigation in the area. “It’s going to supply a better service to the communities overall,” said Mulhall. “There will be more work performed on a regular basis, it will keep the skill level higher and have a cost benefit over the long term.” The group claims the unit’s establishment will improve
forensic evidence collection, timeliness, quality and accuracy in crime scene processing, enhanced technology systems and centralized police officer training, among other advancements. Its inception also involves the creation of a “mobile field unit” as a work station to house equipment and communications as well as provide officers with a place to conduct field work under any conditions. The five towns in their totality made 6,400 arrests in the past two years for murder, rape, robbery, burglary, auto theft, larceny and assault — those classified as Part 1 Crimes. Many of these offenses require crime scene processing, which is what the unit would specialize in conducting. The grant would not require any local funding, but the departments need their towns’permission to move forward with applying for the $350,546 in Regional Performance Incentive Funding, to be issued by the state. The majority of the funding needed would go toward purchasing the vehicle the unit would work out of. It is a competitive grant bid, with other towns looking to enhance their regional services in areas from public works to police departments. In 2007, the Mid-State Chiefs
As Sneen o

Group applied for and received a Surplus Funding Grant. They used it to create the Mid-State Regional Accident/Commercial Enforcement Team, which trains officers in accident reconstruction and commercial traffic enforcement. The group reports that the program is a success and has exceeded its expectations, thus prompting this new application. “We’re hoping the state sees that as a success story,” said Mulhall. “We know they’ve tracked us pretty closely and seen what we’ve been able to do with it.” Mulhall is confident in the new proposal. “We think it hits the right areas that the grant focuses on so we’ll get a serious look,” he said. But if their offer is rejected, they still hope to implement the unit some other way, through a different set of funds. If approved, the unit would allow the departments to improve their current capabilities, share personnel and resources, and process and document major crimes in a more professional manner, according to the grant proposal. The unit will consist of eight to 10 officers (between one and three from each town) and be managed by the local chiefs of police. They estimate that if the grant is received, the team would begin service Sept. 1.

He opened Fazio Shoe & Luggage Repair & Retail in 1977 — 13 years after he moved to the Hartford area from Sicily, Italy. From the very first customers who walked through his door back then, to the younger generation who now bring in their leather handbags, a large clientele need the services he and wife, Cecile, provide. Fazio is one of the only shoe repair shops left around these parts. “Some of my customers that came when I opened have moved out of state, but from time to time they mail me their shoes,” Fazio said.

Big decline in home prices ensures hike in tax rate Continued from Page 1
2005, while others increased. Overall, the grand list declined by about $104 million or 4 percent, requiring an increase in the mil rate to offset this negative change. To determine the tax liability of any property, the property assessment will be multiplied by the
town’s mill rate. Town Assessor Steve Juda presented the results to Town Council last week. “We were getting the top of the market, now almost nightly real estate values drop,” he explained. Councilor Clarke Castelle inquired why home values dropped
significantly but commercial properties increased, especially during the recession over the last few years. “In Newington, the Berlin Turnpike is still a hot market, people are still anxious to get there,” responded Juda. Unlike single-family homes,

which are appraised on comparable sales, apartments are valued by the rental income they produce, said Juda. “Over the last few years, through misfortune people lost their homes, so apartments have seen increased occupancy,” he explained. On the other hand, commercial properties (like Sam’s and Stew Leonards on the Turnpike) pay taxes based on what it costs to rent their buildings, so their property values have generally remained at or above what they were last time. In July, new property tax bills will be produced reflecting these changed values, combined with results from personal property and motor vehicle assessments. Residents and business owners have been mailed their revaluations for review. If they disagree with their assessment, they can take a number of steps to dispute it, so as not to face a raise in their property taxes next year. The first step would be to call Tyler Technologies in Tolland, the company that conducted the assessments in collaboration with the
assessor’s office. This will initiate an informal hearing to discuss the factors that may have contributed to any oversights in the revaluation process. Hearings will be held in the lower level of Town Hall through Dec. 16. Associates from the company will not know what the new mill rate will be — that will be determined by Town Council after they set a new budget in April. The next step would be to appeal to the twon. “By Jan. 20, you must appeal to the Board of Assessment Appeals,” said Juda, who will sign the grand list on Jan. 31, 2012, pretty much finalizing the revaluation. If denied at a board hearing in March, property owners can appeal to Superior Court through Sept. 30, 2012. “The court usually entertains a compromise between what the owner feels their property is worth and what the assessor feels it’s worth,” Juda said. “We had 35 court appeals from the last revaluation,”he continued.“On average the reduction in assessment was 10 percent due to court activity.” For more information, contact the Assessor’s Office at (860) 665-8530.

anticipated appearance, joining the strolling carolers at Newington’s Night of Lights. Newington Parks and Recreation Department and the Newington Chamber of Commerce will present the annual event Saturday, Dec. 4. “It’s been a long-standing tradition with the town for many years,� said Parks and Rec Program Coordinator Stephanie Boulay, the event’s organizer. It will begin with free horse-drawn sleigh rides from 1 to 4 p.m. at Mill Pond Park and photos with Santa in the Mortensen Community Center’s Romano Room. At 4:30, the wreath lighting at Mill Pond Waterfall will be followed as carol-sing their way to the Town Center. There a fire truck parade before new Mayor Stephen Woods lights the famous center tree and makes his first Night of Lights speech as mayor. As the hundreds of residents expected to attend enjoy cookies, brownies and holiday treats from Middlewoods Retirement Community and rest their singing voices, the Kellapella group from Martin Kellogg School will perform carols. John Wallace School’s Madrigal Choir will also offer its own performance, and Newington High School Chamber Choir will be the icing on the cake. To make the evening even more special, bring a canned food item to benefit the Town’s Food Bank. For information, call (860) 665-8666.

Peyton lives on in ‘blankie’ ministry By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Peyton Elizabeth Binder was born Sept. 4, 2008. Just 28 days later, she died of congenital infant leukemia, an extremely rare condition. Her parents Andrew and Kristin Binder of Burlington are carrying on Peyton’s spirit by supporting other families with critically ill infants through their initiative, Doing Good in Her Name. Just by chance, a parent whose child attends St. Mary’s School in
Newington read about how the organization donates money, infant clothing and other baby items to families in need and saw a chance for the students to help. St. Mary’s runs “A Cuddle and a Prayer Blankie Ministry.” The kids create colorful and cozy fleece blankets for children in need. When students heard about the Binders’ local work in Danbury Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and other area hospitals, they decided to donate 10 of their handmade treasures to Danbury’s NICU.
“These amazing little kids make these blankets,” said Kristin Binder. “You’d be amazed at what a difference a handmade blanket makes for a family … anybody would rather see their child laying on something handmade than on a hospital sheet.” And the Binders know firsthand. “When we went into the hospital to have Peyton we had no idea that anything was wrong. When she was born they told me I had a beautiful little girl, but then minutes later The memory of Peyton Binder lives on through a program called Doing Good she was rushed away,” remembers in Her Name.
