NEWINGTON — Gov. Dannel Malloy and his economic development commissioner toured a Newington aerospace company Aug. 11 to assess the progress of the state’s quickly-growing aerospace industry.

Headquartered at 300 Fenn Road, PCX Aerostructures manufactures airplane and helicopter parts for the U.S. military and

companies like Airbus, Boeing, Sikorsky, General Electric and Triumph.

“More than 80,000 jobs have been created since 2011, so this is part of the governor’s ongoing efforts to talk about the economy with local businesses and find out how the state can be supportive,” Malloy spokesman Devon Puglia said.

The state’s unemployment rate recently reached 5.7 percent

— the lowest it’s been since the recession.

Since 2011, the workforce at PCX’s Newington facility has grown by 16 percent. The company now employs a total of 328 See MALLOY, Page 6

Grant’s Way Foundation to sponsor dunk tank at upcoming Cornfest SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

WETHERSFIELD — The Grant’s Way Foundation Board of Directors has announced that they will sponsor a dunk tank booth at the upcoming Cornfest. The festival will be held on the Broad Street Green in Old Wethersfield Saturday, Sept. 19.

Grant’s Way Foundation was created in memory of Grant Stanton.

In 2012, Stanton was diagnosed with a rare inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Treatment began locally, and he was treated at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Tragically, Stanton passed away June 27, 2013, at the age of 24.

Grant’s Way encompasses Stanton’s friendly, outgoing nature, the way he complimented others, his enthusiasm and passion for sports, the stylish way he dressed, his unique sense of humor and his passion for good food.

The foundation will be an ongoing presence at community events in the Wethersfield area.

For example, Grant’s Way held its Second Annual Men’s Softball Tournament at Mill Woods Park on June 12 and 13. Eleven local teams participated in the double elimination tournament that was

won by Joey Garlic’s Restaurant.

“There are many ways we intend to keep Grant’s spirit present through the Grant’s Way Foundation, and this softball tournament is one example. In addition, we encourage everyone to perform acts of kindness in his memory,” said Leigh Stanton, Grant’s father and president of the foundation.

Proceeds from the Cornfest and other events will go toward the beautification of Mill Woods Park facility. Other fundraising efforts planned include a golf tournament scheduled for October.

Union janitors protest Rocky Hill business layoffs

Lisa Sanchez Gonzalez | Special to the Town Crier

Protesters picket on Enterprise Drive in Rocky Hill against KS Partners.

By JEFF GEBEAU STAFF WRITER

ROCKY HILL — For more than a month, displaced custodial staff and supporters have been picketing a multi-office commercial building on Enterprise Drive.

The 10 workers, eight of whom are from New Britain, were employed by Rocky Hillbased Delcon Maintenance Corp. to clean the building at 500 Enterprise Drive until the end of June.

At the beginning of June, Delcon provided 30 days notice of its intention to terminate its contract with Boston-based KS Partners, which owns the building, said Carmen DelVecchio, Delcon’s co-owner.

Delcon management told the janitors on June 17 that their positions would be ending at the end of the month, said Juan Hernandez, district leader for Service Employees International Union 32BJ, which represents them.

The displaced workers and their union and political backers have directed much of their ire at KS Partners, though DelVecchio said Delcon unilaterally made the decision to stop providing custodial services for the building, which it had done for almost 20 years.

“We didn’t give [KS] any choice,” he said. “It was just a

the building. Hernandez said the displaced custodians have faxed, mailed and hand-delivered applications to the company, but only one of them has been hired, someone who had worked there less than a year.

“The people who were there for many years were out of there,” Hernandez said.

DelVecchio also said that all of the displaced workers were offered placements at other properties that are serviced by Delcon, but none ultimately accepted.

Two agreed initially, but then changed their minds, he said. He acknowledged that the assignments paid less but said they were within 10 miles of Rocky Hill.

However, Guerrero said she never got another job offer from Delcon.

Frank Soults, senior communications associate for the Connecticut and Hudson Valley region of SEIU 32BJ, said four of the other dismissed workers have made the same claim. He only knows of two employees that were offered alternate positions, the pair that briefly accepted them. One withdrew to maintain solidarity with his dismissed co-workers, while the other was unable to obtain transportation to the new work site, he said.

Since she lost her job, Guerrero has only been working part-time

as substitute custodian at the University of Connecticut. The loss of income has put a strain on the finances of her family, which includes her husband and two children, she said. She and her husband have had to count out their money to make sure they have enough to pay their bills, she added.

She is also on the picket line with her compatriots every weekday in the late afternoon, whether she works or not.

“Rain or shine,” Guerrero said.

Tercyak said that even if no state laws were broken in the workers’ dismissal, picketing could make a difference.

“The question is if we can shine a light on this dark practice and get the employer to do the right thing,” he said. “Public opinion matters.”

He also allowed for the possibility that federal labor laws could have been violated, saying that the National Labor Relations Board is investigating the incident in response to a complaint from the union.

The review is in progress, Hernandez said.

“They’re investigating our claim and interviewing our witnesses.”

One of the Newington Department of Human Services’ distribution rooms, now full of school supplies for families in need.

Human services department makes final request for school supplies STAFF WRITER

NEWINGTON — The Newington Department of Human Services’ annual drive for back-to-school supplies went into overdrive this week.

Staff hoped to have enough to outfit Newington families in financial need by last week, but are still seeking a number of different items. That includes three-ring binders, binder tab dividers, flash drives, folders, hand sanitizer, insulated lunch bags, pencil sharpeners, sticky notes and staplers.

New and gently-used fall clothing, socks and footwear are also sought for children and teens. Clothing donations should be clean, not in need of repair and reflecting current styles. Staff also appreciate if items are on hangers and sorted by size and gender. Monetary donations and gift cards are encouraged as well.

“We’ll be collecting through the beginning of the school year,” Director Karen Futoma said Wednesday. “We’re in pretty good shape, but it’s hard to gauge how many families we’ll have coming in.”

Privacy is always respected, not just for those using the service but also the many donors who choose to remain anonymous.

One recently dropped off 16

backpacks.

Community groups are also quick to help out. The Newington Rotary Club, for example, makes a large donation every year.

Those who benefit from the drive include residents with children under 21 who use the Newington Food Bank.

Others who don’t seek out help regularly but who are now experiencing financial hardships are also encouraged to apply. Call Karen Gagliardi at (860) 6658590 to schedule an eligibility screening.

The department usually has about 100 families participate. If

its other distribution programs are any evidence, the need will be higher this year.

“We’re certainly seeing increases in holiday and food requests because everything is going up in price,” Futoma said. “Expenses are increasing, but incomes are not.”

Based on how many donations come in, families are allotted a certain number of items for each of their children. Staff allow parents to make their own selections to ensure nothing goes to waste.

That includes one backpack per child, which they can fill with the appropriate amount of supplies.

Distribution began Thursday at Newington Town Hall, 131 Cedar St. It continues next Tuesday, Aug. 18, from noon to 3 p.m.; Thursday, Aug. 20, from 9 a.m. to noon; and Monday, Aug. 24, from 4 to 6:45 p.m.

Those still wishing to donate can bring items to the department’s office on weekdays from

WETHERSFIELD — Hartford HealthCare at Home recently announced that Karen A. Pagliaro, has been named the director of community and government relations. Pagliaro is based in the Wethersfield office of Hartford HealthCare at Home.

“Aerospace is one of our leading initiatives in growing the workforce, along with biomedical,” said Malloy, who was joined on the tour by Catherine Smith, commissioner of the state’s Department of Economic and Community Development.

“We can’t compete with the cheapest-made things, only the highest-quality. We’ve come up with a lot of innovative funding programs to help the supply chain across the board.”

That includes the $30 million Manufacturing Innovation Fund, which provides manufacturers with state funding for research, development, equipment and training.

“Our programs are designed for these small companies to thrive in this environment,” Malloy said.

“This is an exciting time for aerospace. That’s why we’re here today, to make sure this company

and others like it are well-positioned.”

PCX makes engine components, landing gear and flight assemblies for rotorcraft and fixed wing aircraft. More than half of all products sold are manufactured in its Newington facility.

“We produce hard alloy, very difficult to manufacture parts,” said PCX President and CEO Al Haase, among the group of company leaders guiding Malloy on Tuesday’s tour.

Around 80 percent of its products go to U.S. companies, with

about two-thirds of business from the U.S. Department of Defense alone. Airbus is PCX’s primary international customer.

“We’re blessed to have so many companies like this, in Connecticut’s aerospace world, who are known globally for their

expertise,” Smith said. “We’re thrilled they are willing to take advantage of the significant growth we’re seeing in the industry.”

Being headquartered in the Northeast positions PCX in an ideal place for continued industry growth, but that also means it must be prepared to compete with other leading manufacturers.

“We’re in New England; we have to do things smarter and more efficient to stay competitive,” Trevor Hartman, vice president of sales, said.

Employees were excited about Malloy’s visit Tuesday. Many, including Plainville resident Victor Santana, posed for photographs with the governor.

Santana, a CNC lathe operator, has been with the company for 31 years. A lot has changed during that time, he said Tuesday.

“Job security is good here — you don’t see that too much,” Santana pointed out. “I’m very lucky. You can’t get good paying jobs like this anymore.”

“She’s a very talented stylist with some fresh ideas,” owner Tammy Selander said Monday.

Kim Schneider also came on board this year. Her specialty is Scruples, a new coloring system that highlights and tones all in one step. In fact, all Hair on the Square stylists recently underwent Scruples training.

“We’re one of the only salons in Connecticut who have it,” Selander said. “We’re really excited about it. It preserves the integrity of the hair shaft while leaving you with soft, natural-feeling hair.”

The owner went on to praise her other employees, some of whom have been with the salon for decades.

“Evelyn is an extremely seasoned hair stylist; she’s been there the longest out of all of us, and Nicole is also an awesome stylist.”

Rich, the former owner, still comes in every morning to cut the hair of local police officers and public servants.

“Everyone knows him,” she added.

The salon has been in Market Square for 59 years, but under current ownership for the last 10. Staff will celebrate their 10th anniversary Oct. 4 with a customer appreciation day.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

New plan to ease traffic issue at town intersection

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

NEWINGTON — Public input is being sought on a new plan to relieve traffic issues at the intersection residents call Newington’s most dangerous.

It calls for widening Cedar Street (Route 175) where it meets Alumni Road, and adding a left turn lane and traffic signal. Town officials are seeking approval from residents first and then the Department of Transportation, which would be responsible for completing construction along the state road.

A traffic engineer will present the plan at a public information meeting next Wednesday, and the public is encouraged to provide comments.

“Without a traffic signal, it is perilous to take a left hand turn coming out of Alumni Road,” Town Economic Development Director Andy Brecher said.

“There have been a lot of accidents and unbelievably, no fatalities.

Thank goodness.”

The issue has been around for decades, but the town, the DOT and residents could not come to a consensus on a viable solution.

A prior plan to install a traffic signal at the intersection would have required two homes to be demolished, Maple Hill Avenue relocated and a portion of Old Farms Drive to close.

“It imposed a lot on the neighborhood, and in the end the Town Council felt that there was too much imposition,” Brecher said.

When the town objected to this plan, the DOT ordered a

A consultant will finalize his report after the public meeting and present it to the council in September. Pending councilors’ approval, the DOT will consider putting it into action.

No timetable or budget has been set at this point, but officials anticipate state funds could cover up to 90 percent of project costs.

After improvements are completed, the gate would come down.

This would not only improve the area’s traffic flow, but also open up potential development sites on the roadway, including nearly 20 acres of land adjacent to the Fafner property and an underutilized industrial building at 81 Alumni Road.

The public information meeting will be held at Newington Town Hall, 131 Cedar St., Wednesday, Aug. 19, at 6 p.m. The engineer Erica Schmitt | Staff The intersection of Alumni Road and Cedar Street, where many accidents have occurred.

Health District to offer free uranium, arsenic testing kits to private well owners

SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

The Central Connecticut Health District will hold an informational display at local libraries about the importance of arsenic and uranium testing for private well owners. These displays will include free materials and free test kits provided from the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) to residents of Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill and Wethersfield.

Uranium and arsenic are metals that occur

naturally in bedrock throughout Connecticut. However, a problem occurs when groundwater comes into contact with bedrock, causing these metals to leach out and contaminate private wells.

The amount of uranium and arsenic can vary from place to place, so the only way to know if your well is contaminated is to test the water.

The dates and times to receive free uranium and arsenic test kits are as follows: ∎ Berlin-Peck Memorial

Library, 234 Kensington Road, Berlin: Aug. 26, from 3 to 5 p.m. ∎ Lucy Robbins Wells Library, 95 Cedar St., Newington: Aug. 25, from 3 to 5 p.m. ∎ Cora J. Belden Library, 33 Church St., Rocky Hill: Aug. 24, from 2 to 4 p.m. ∎ Wethersfield Library, 515 Silas Deane Highway, Wethersfield: Aug. 27, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Tennis event brings in $5,400 for pediatric unit

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

and life, too.”

According to DiBattisto, the coach gave every student who wanted to play a spot on the team. At the time he graduated, there was no paid assistant coach job to accommodate the quickly-growing group, so he offered to help and Lukowski gave him a stipend from his own pay.

“I think that just speaks to the kind of guy he is,” the former player added.

Throughout the weekend, that generosity extended to the family of Tyler Cop, the 15-year-old Berlin resident who was fatally injured by a pellet gun about a month ago.

Tyler’s mother, Robyn, is an occupational therapist at the Hospital for Special Care.

Lukowski is donating equipment to her unit in Tyler’s honor.

Tyler’s cousins, Jonathon and Stephanie Trevethan, 13 and 17 respectively, played doubles at the tennis classic. Stephanie is on the team at Berlin High School, while Jon is ranked 30th in his age group in the United States Tennis Association’s New England Division.

“This is their first match together,” Scott Trevethan, their father, said. “It helps in the healing process for the two of them to play for their cousin.”

During tournament play, the siblings Lisa Sanchez Gonzalez | Special to the Town Crier wore T-shirts with Tyler’s picture on them Jonathon Trevethan serves the ball during the Children’s Charities Tennis Classic Aug. 9. along with the words “Fight like Ty.” Another T-shirt, which Lukowski invited all participants to sign, was donated to the Cop family.

NEW BRITAIN — In its 37th year, the Children’s Charities Tennis Classic is about much more than just tennis.

The weekend-long tournament, held at Walnut Hill Park, had raised $5,400 by the afternoon of Aug. 9 for the Hospital for Special Care’s pediatric unit.

Tournament founder Don Lukowski is the tennis coach at Newington High School and a friend to many.

“He’s the nicest guy in the world, hands down,” Southington resident Matt Downes, 21, said during a break in a men’s doubles match. “The Southington and Newington teams have always been close, so I’ve known Don since high school.

It’s a pleasure to be here today and help out the cause.”

Over 60 people participated in this year’s tournament, which culminated Aug. 10 with the Boys Grand Masters.

“My former players, who have kids and houses now, are coming down and handing us checks,” Lukowski said. “I’m just grateful for our friends who are coming out to support us and the kids taking the time to play. It makes for a wonderful event.”

One of those former players was Kevin DiBattisto, joined by his wife Kim and their 9-month-old daughter, Lilly. DiBattisto played for the NHS tennis team from 1999 to 2001, then became the school’s assistant coach.

“He’s just always looking out for everyone else,” he said of Lukowski. “Not only Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 801with their tennis but with their schoolwork 5097, or eschmitt@newbritainherald.com.

ART EXHIBIT AT LIBRARY: Throughout the month of August, sisters Mandi Watrous and Heather B. Warriner are teaming up once again for their third art exhibit at the library. The sisters will present a collection of artwork based on the theme “Emotions.” While each artist works in her own unique style, Watrous and Warriner often find themselves inspired by similar sources: nature, texture, found objects and childhood memories.

Because of these common areas of inspiration, their work tends to be complementary. They are excited with this year’s theme because it opens itself to inter-activity: this year, they will invite viewers to share their emotions as they view the works. The exhibit may be viewed in the library’s Community Room during regular library hours when there is not a scheduled program: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Viewers are encouraged to call the library at (860) 665-8700 to make sure the room is available before they come to view the exhibit.

SENIOR AND DISABLED CENTER

NEEDS COMMUNITY’S EXPERTISE: The Newington Senior and Disabled Center is seeking National Accreditation for the third time.

The center, located at 120 Cedar St., was the first in Connecticut to achieve this distinction from the National Council on Aging’s National Institute of Senior Centers (NCOA-NISC). The first step toward accreditation is to engage in a self-assessment process with a broad evaluation of operations and strategic planning. The center is seeking community members with expertise, experience or passion in the listed areas to assist in the evaluation. The time commitment is approximately eight to 10 hours over the course of three months. The areas are governance, volunteer management, program development (enrichment, adult education, wellness, intergenerational, active living etc.), fiscal management, architecture and/or interior design and transportation.

Call Dianne Stone at (860) 6658768 for more information.
