Honoring Mazzoccoli Dinner for former mayor a ‘fantastic’ success

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

In the wake of the widely-attended “Dinner for Dom� — a benefit to honor Newington’s former Mayor Dominic Mazzoccoli — an anonymous donor emerged, bringing the total funds raised for the ALS Therapy Institute to a whopping $25,000.

Mazzoccoli, who was diagnosed with the rare neurological illness (also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease) one year ago last month, called the generous donation “fantastic.�

The highly-regarded friend, classmate, family member, citizen and political figure was thankful to everyone involved with the benefit dinner, which took place at the Sphinx Temple Shrine on the Berlin Turnpike two weeks ago. “It was a tremendous effort and all the work of the committee really paid off,� he commented. “It was very emotional for me to see so many friends and towns- Volume 53, No. 24 Free people supporting the cause.�

The evening’s raffle and auction, with items donated from local businesses, comprised a large part of the fundraising efforts as well.

Revised charter in the works

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Newington residents will have a chance to comment on the recentlyrevised Town Charter at a public hearing scheduled before the Town Council’s next meeting.

Over the last five months, a committee was charged with examining and updating the document, which outlines how the town is run.

Another committee made an unsuccessful attempt at this back in 2009, adding controversial provisions that failed by public vote.

Committee members and town officials,this time,agreed the process

went smoothly and they didn’t make any contentious changes.

“I think this committee did a very thorough job of looking at the Charter,” said Charter Revision Commission Chairman Alan Nafis, who happened to be a part of the last group.

Nafis joked with the Council at Tuesday night’s meeting that as a committee, they “didn’t change the name of the town or anything like that,” showing the wide scope of regulations covered in the document, which was last updated in the 1980’s.

One of the biggest changes was the maximum amount of money

the town can decide to spend on a project before they have to ask the public in a referendum.

While that amount is currently $325,000, the committee increased it to $975,000 — a move they said brings it more in line with current spending and is similar to other towns.

CopiesoftherevisedTownCharter are available in the Town Clerk’s office or at http://www.newingtonct.gov/filestorage/78/118/150/ Draft_Charter_2012.pdf The public hearing on the Charter will be held Tuesday, July 24 in the Helen Nelson Room, #114, in Town Hall, 131 Cedar St.

three terms beginning in 1985, before he was elected state Representative in 1993,from which he served another three terms.

It was not only this long tenure with town and state government, but also his lifelong popularity that brought so many people to the recent fundraiser, including current and former elected officials, family, friends, former classmates and even old pals from his childhood Boy Scout Troop.

A total of 210 people attended, raising more than $12,000 for the ALS Therapy Development Institute in Cambridge, Mass., which Mazzoccoli chose as the evening’s beneficiary. Then just recently, he was astounded to receive an anonymous donor-match that doubled the funding.

While there is no treatment or cure for ALS, the non-profit biotechnology organization is at the forefront of the research in finding one.

“We are absolutely pleased; it’s a really big deal for us to receive this amount of support,” said the ALS Institute’s Vice President

there’s a miracle for Dom.” He used to be an avid gardener and runner. The onset of his illness was characterized by weakness in his limbs, and now a year later, Mazzoccoli is in a wheelchair. His lighthearted account of this to his guests was, “It’s not easy being Italian and not able to use your hands when you talk.”

“The future is uncertain,” said his daughter Karen (Mazzoccoli) Cantafi, whose speech to the dinner crowd included a quote that brought friends and family to tears, from the Yankees beloved Lou Gehrig, namesake of her father’s mysterious condition. Cantafi was also grateful to everyone who attended.

“It makes you feel like people care and you’re not alone; like you’re doing something to help eradicate the disease and bring awareness to it.”

Malloy visits Healthbridge picket lines STAFF WRITER

NEWINGTON — Healthbridge workers who have been on strike for a week now were elated to see Gov. Dannel Malloy approach their picket ine in front of Newington Health Care Center Wednesday morning.

But the crowd of more than 100 nursing, housekeeping, dietary and laundry staff were even more thrilled when the governor said the New Jerseybased elder care company that employs them “needs to get their act together.”

Healthbridge, which owns the Newington center and four other nursing homes in the state where 700 union workers are currently on strike, recently implemented contracts that cut hours, sick time, pensions and significantly raised insurance premiums.

After 17 months of contract negotiationswiththeNewEngland Healthcare Employees Union, District 1199, Healthbridge forced their “last, best and final” contracts upon workers three weeks ago.

This move was deemed illegal by the National Labor Relations Board, which filed a fifth complaint against the company soon thereafter.

Malloy, in addressing workers Wednesday said the company is attempting to break the union.

“They want to be the model in the state of Connecticut (for health care companies) and we don’t want them to be that model,” he said, later adding, “If they’re going to be in the state of Connecticut they need to follow the rules.”

The local center is in a residential area, so multiple policemen have been on site since striking began July 3, amidst the marching, chanting crowd.

Neighbors have been very tolerant of the noise, which begins at 6 a.m. and lasts until 11 p.m. daily.

“What can you do? They’re trying to get their jobs back,” said Tony Ierna, who lives across the street from the picketing.

While the workers aren’t happy about any of the conditions of these recently implemented contracts, the $800 to $8,000 they now have to pay per year for medical insurance is their biggest complaint.

“That’s the most important thing, so we can take care of our

kids,” explained Tanya Beckford, a certified nursing assistant, who says after 15 years with the company, this is the first time her family qualifies to be on the state’s Husky insurance.She’s considering it to make sure her two asthmatic children get their medications.

Employees say they hope Malloy’s visit informs residents of their plight.

“The governor being here makes people aware of the health care system itself, but also how corporate greed can destroy the lives of workers and patients,” said

health notes: Healthy eating

by W. Richard McQueen Jr., MD Don’t Let Summer Gatherings Derail Your Healthy Eating Summertime is often filled with family gatherings, vacations, picnics, celebrations, ice cream trucks, and endless BBQ. There is no shortage of food-filled revelries during the warm summer months. Whether at a potluck or spending the day by the pool, food is often easily accessible all day and often becomes the entertainment.

In addition, holidays like the 4th of July lead people to eat a little more than they might normally and to perhaps also indulge in things that they typically otherwise would not.

W. Richard McQueen Jr., MD Doctors of Central Connecticut

55 Meriden Ave. Southington, CT (860) 276-5144

Strategies For Balanced Eating • Don’t skip meals – this can lead to bingeing • Have a healthy snack at home before going to a party or potluck • Bring a healthy dish to gatherings and BBQs • When attending potlucks: glance over what is available, pick only your favorite items, and commit to leaving the rest behind • Fill your plate with plenty of fruits and vegetables • Savor the flavors • Eat until you are satisfied, but not stuffed • Don’t discount the impact of beverages – alcoholic and sweetened drinks may be filled with calories and sugar • And if you do overeat, don’t beat yourself up. Try to figure out what to do differently next time What Else Can You Do? One of the best ways to fight overeating and overindulging is to plan activities that are not centered around food. An added benefit of this is that you might even get some exercise in the meantime. Suggested activities might include: • Go for a hike or a bike ride • Plant some flowers or a tree • Relax in an air-conditioned movie theater • Take up a new sport How Can My Doctor Help Me? Your primary care doctor is a great resource for encouraging a healthy lifestyle.

Sometimes vitamin deficiencies and hormone disruptions can cause unusual cravings and changes in appetite, both of which may cause you to eat more than is nutritionally necessary. Discuss any dietary concerns you might have with your healthcare provider, who can then assess if additional diagnostic tests are needed. The doctors of Hartford HealthCare’s Primary Care Network wish you a safe, healthy, and celebratory summer.

Residents to weigh in on blight ordinance

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

After almost a year of discussion, Newington officials finally decided to pass on the town’s revised Blight Ordinance for the public to pick apart, or maybe, praise.

The Blight Ordinance Committee tightened up regulations to address safety and public health concerns with property owners who are not taking care of their land or buildings.

At the same time, they recognized the fact that some home owners — mainly the disabled and elderly — may need help maintaining the exterior appearance of their properties.

But there is a difference between those who don’t care about their homes and those who can’t do all the work themselves, Town Councilors noted during their discussion at Tuesday night’s meeting.

“I believe this will give us the support we need as a community

and staff to rectify these problems,” said Mayor Steve Woods.

“There is more enforcement on selective properties in town that have not lived up to the standards we’ve set, and there is help for people who don’t have it,” he added.

But the biggest change in the ordinance, allowing the consideration of occupied properties instead of simply those that are vacant is one that Councilors could not agree upon.

“I think it’s overkill,” said Councilor Myra Cohen, whose main concern is that there were too many strict regulations for

Newington Children’s Theatre Company celebrates 50 years

By CLAIRE VAN COTT

NCTC PERFORMING ARTS THEATRE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Newington Children’s Theatre Company marks its 50th anniversary season in 2012-2013.

As Connecticut’s longest operating nonprofit children’s theatre, NCTC has Art strived to provide Town quality,hands-on educational experiences in the performing arts for children and young adults.

In 1963, the Newington Parks and Recreation Department created the Newington Children’s Theatre (NCT) as a creative program for the town’s young residents. Participants auditionedforaproductionthatwould tour throughout the state. In succeeding years, the program grew in scope and participation, involving hundreds of young theatre artists, technicians and volunteers, and entertained thousands of audience members by touring throughout Connecticut, as well as in New Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey, and Virginia.

In 2002, after nearly 40 years of operation as a town program, a dedicated group of longtime volunteers realized that in order for the program to grow and flourish, it was necessary to break away from the town and become an independent nonprofit educational organization.

With the blessing of the town, the current NCT was incorporated and received non-profit recognition. In 2003 NCT became known as the Newington Children’s Theatre Company (NCTC).

After renovating a space for rehearsals in 2004, NCTC moved into its current home at 743 North Mountain Road in Newington. For the next seven years, NCTC upheld the tradition of touring productions throughout Connecticut. NCTC

produced a wide array of lovable classics like “Beauty and the Beast,”“The Wizard of Oz,”“The Secret Garden,” and “Cinderella.”

In 2009, the theatre changed its operatingnametoNCTCPerforming Arts Theatre. The name change recognizes that several of NCTC’s participants are young adults rather than children as well as the fact that so many participants come from outside Newington’s borders. The new name acknowledges the theatre’s successful history as Newington Children’s Theatre Company while looking to the future as it becomes far more than its founders ever envisioned.

With the rising costs to produce an eight-month tour, the Board of Directors decided to take a hiatus from touring in the 2011-12 season, affording NCTC the opportunity to offer year-round programming and to utilize their facility in Newington to the fullest.

While cutting the tour lessens NCTC’s reach in Connecticut,it provides more opportunities for children to get involved in the performing arts by producing eight shows throughout the year as opposed to one touring show, as well as a plethora of classes, school vacation programs and workshops.

This summer, NCTC is proud to present two musical theatre treasures. First to take the stage is the beloved musical based on the classic Charles M. Shultz comic strip “Peanuts,” “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.”

Directed by NCTC alum Christa Pizzoferrato and choreographed by NCTC alum Jessie Sattler, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” chronicles an average day for Charlie Brown, his sister Sally and friends Lucy, Linus, Schroeder and Snoopy as each contemplates life through the

lens of childhood innocence.

Fun for the whole family, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” features great toe-tapping musical numbers, hilarious scenes, and heartfelt moments about the mysteries of growing up and the true meaning of happiness.

Performances are July 27-29 (Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.).Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors, students and children.

You can bet your bottom dollar on NCTC’s second summer production, the timeless classic, “Annie.”

Leapin’ Lizards! Along with 38 area youths, ages 5-15, the popular comic strip heroine takes center stage at the NCTC Performing Arts Theatre, to bring one of the world’s best-loved musicals to life.

Directed by NCTC’s Executive/ Artistic Director Claire Van Cott and choreographed by Jessie Sattler, “Annie” is a spunky Depressionera orphan determined to find her parents, who abandoned her on the doorstep of a New York City orphanage run by the cruel, conniving, Miss Hannigan.

In adventure after fun-filled adventure, join Annie as she dodges the scheming Miss Hannigan, charms and befriends the President,and finds a new home and loving family at the Warbucks mansion.

Featuring the hit songs “Easy Street,” “Hard Knock Life,” and “Tomorrow,” Annie is sure to delight audiences of all ages. Performances are August 2-5 (Thursday-Saturday at 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors, students and children.

Delegation praises fuel cell power plant at CCSU HARTFORD — Senators Joseph I. Lieberman, Richard Blumenthal and Congressman John B. Larson released the following statements after a recent dedication of the fuel cell power plant installed at Central Connecticut State University.

“Connecticut is the world leader in fuel cell technology, and this power plant will help solidify Connecticut’s image as a clean energy leader while providing students with an opportunity to learn about the technology first hand,” said Senator Lieberman. “This type of initiative will lead to fewer emissions, a cleaner environment and a more secure energy future for our country.”

“I want to congratulate CCSU for its forward-thinking investment in a Connecticutmade product that will keep energy costs down and promote the environmental and economic benefits of clean energy for generations to come,” said

Senator Blumenthal. “CCSU serves as a model for smart investment in clean energy, demonstrating the clear benefit to our environment and what Connecticut’s growing fuel cell industry can offer as a competitor on the global stage.”

“With the addition of this new fuel cell power plant, Connecticut continues to be a leader in clean energy technologies,” said Congressman Larson. “I applaud Central Connecticut State University for doing their part in reducing both energy costs and their impact on the environment.

Even as our economic recovery is hampered by rising energy costs and partisan politics, I continue to be encouraged by the innovation of our local businesses and universities.”

The fuel cell power plant will provide clean energy to the university, resulting in more than $100,000 in energy savings per year.

To qualify, an applicant must be a Newington registered voter not enrolled in a major political party since May 1, 2012. Incumbent unaffiliated justices will be reappointed during November if an application is received by this office during the allotted time frame and if the justice has not been enrolled in a major political party since May 1. If on Nov. 1 the number of applications for justice of the peace filed with the Town Clerk exceeds the number of justices of the peace allowed by State Statute, there will be a public lottery. Anyone interested in becoming a Newington justice of the peace who is not enrolled in a major political party is encouraged to contact the Town Clerk’s office at (860) 665-8545 to obtain an application and instructions.
