Cheaper plan presented for Town Hall renovation

smaller and $5 million cheaper than the last proposal. “In my personal opinion this will meet the needs of the town for years to come, and it’s probably the most cost-effective plan we’re going to see,” Bongiovanni told the council. Architect Kaestle Boos and construction manager Downes Construction were sent back to the drawing board after two other more costly and extensive plans failed to gain support from residents who attended public hearings in July and early August.

Annual walk honors lives of children who died SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER
On Sunday, Sept. 20, everyone is invited to participate in an event that offers parents, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends the chance to stand together and remember the babies and children of all ages whom they have loved and lost. The 15th Cherish Our Children walk will be held rain or shine, starting at Newington Memorial Funeral Home on 20 Bonair Ave. Registration will begin at noon, and the walk will begin at 1 p.m. The Cherish Our Children walk is sponsored by the Duksa family and staff at Newington Memorial Funeral Home, Burritt Hill Funeral Home in New Britain and Fisette-Batzner Funeral Home in Newington. “Anyone who has suffered the loss of a child is invited to join us to honor and celebrate the special memories. This poignant annual event helps them to know that they are not alone,” said Diana Duksa Kurz, a funeral director whose family owns the funeral homes. “We created this event more than a decade ago with a group of parents who had lost children themselves, and since that time thousands have attended this event to stand with others who share similar experiences.” At 1 p.m., a bagpiper will lead participants less than a mile from Newington Memorial Funeral Home through Newington center to the nondenominational Cherish Our Children angel statue at West Meadow Cemetery on Willard Avenue. The angel statue is surrounded by a garden with hundreds of brick pavers engraved with the names of children who are remembered by their families every fall at this event. Participants will be handed a white flower that they may leave at the angel statue, along with a personal note of remembrance. A brief program will be presented, including music, a reading of children’s names to be remembered and a release of doves. Following the program, the walkers are invited to the Masonic Temple for complimentary refreshments. There is no fee to participate

in the walk, but donations are encouraged to help support the endowed care of the Cherish Our Children angel statue and the memorial site. In 2002, the Duksa family, the funeral homes and a nonprofit organization comprised of bereaved parents installed the 10-foot bronze angel statue to honor the memory of deceased
Connecticut children of any age. The statue was inspired by the internationally acclaimed book, “The Christmas Box,” and has become a place where parents, family and friends come to reflect and find hope.

5K to benefit former mayor with ALS By ERICA SCHMITT
IF YOU GO
STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — Former Mayor and state Rep. Dominic Mazzoccoli inspired his hometown to give more than $50,000 to researching treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which he was diagnosed with in June 2011. Now his family is hoping residents will come together to support Mazzoccoli, who faces more than $250,000 in medical bills every year. Since 2012, Team Dom has organized fundraisers for the ALS Therapy Development Institute, a biotech nonprofit in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the forefront of cutting-edge treatment for the condition, better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Proceeds from the 3rd Annual 5K Run/Walk for Dom, to be held Saturday, Sept. 19, will go toward Mazzoccoli’s aroundthe-clock nursing care. “He’s still fighting,” his daughter, Karen Cantafi, said. Although bed-bound 24/7 and unable to walk or talk, her father is still completely aware of what goes on around him. ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease, does not affect the mind.
What: 3rd Annual 5K Run/Walk for Dom Where: Mortensen Community Center, Mazzoccoli Way, Newington When: Saturday, Sept. 19
More than 200 people participated in last year’s Run/Walk for Dom.
“He’s still the same guy inside,” Cantafi said. She will be joined by her husband, Dan, and their two sons Connor, 9, and Daniel, 11, in running the upcoming race. Her sister Andrea Lazorik, brotherin-law Kevin and their 3-year-old son Aaron will be making the trip from California to be a part of the day. Their brother, Matthew, who lives in Newington, will also be participating.
“My sister, my brother and I are so grateful for the support of Team Dom, the people who help us coordinate this race every year,” Cantafi said. “We especially want to thank Camille and Bill Prentice for opening their home to us; it’s been like our Run for Dom headquarters for the last three years. They just mean a lot to our family,” she added. Team Dom has met monthly
January through September since 2013. This will be the first year the race is sanctioned by the USA Track and Field Association, exposing it to more runners than in the past. One special guest participant will be Newington native Bill Rodgers, an Olympian, fourtime Boston Marathon winner and four-time New York City Marathon winner. “He graduated a few years
before my dad and he’s running in his honor,” Cantafi said. Mazzoccoli, a former Marine captain, served as mayor of Newington in the 1980s and early 90s before being elected as state representative in 1993. He was also a runner for 30 years. Free coffee, doughnuts and T-shirts will be available to the first race registrants. Check-in and registration begins at 7:30 a.m. The run/walk begins at 9 a.m., and the awards ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. Kids and strollers are welcome. Those unable to attend who would like to help can contribute by visiting Team Dom’s crowdfunding page at youcaring.com/ carefordom.
Police hosting public safety forum Oct. 7
By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — Newington police are inviting residents and business owners to share their thoughts on public safety at an upcoming forum. Police Chief Stephen Clark and department division commanders will lead a discussion on Wednesday, Oct. 7, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Newington Town Hall auditorium. Clark, who was sworn in in early July, is assessing department operations with the ultimate goal of making improvements. The upcoming forum is a part of that effort. “I think it is important the public have input before changes in department operations are implemented,” Clark said. Although no formal presenta-
tion will be made, staff are seeking comments on several new community policing initiatives they are working on. This includes a Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Program, which departments across the nation are putting into action. Trained officers assess victims’ risk for serious injury or death and connect them with local support services when necessary. Police are considering issuing Narcan to officers in the field to improve their response to opiate overdoses. Administration can reverse respiratory depression, one of the drug’s fatal effects. While it’s long been used by emergency medical personnel, the state of Connecticut passed a law last fall that now allows officers to carry the tool.

Furthermore, staff are in the process of developing a crisis intervention team to better deal with cases that involve mental
public’s input on new programs,” Clark said. On both local and national level, law enforcement officers are dealing with a number of current issues. After the recent Ferguson, Missouri, incident, their use of force and regulations around racial profiling are being re-evaluated. Police are also looking into how to respond to cases involving mentally ill suspects and victims, and the use of military equipment and tactics. Most crimes in Newington are larceny-related, according to Clark. In addition, the majority of citizen complaints stem from treatment by officers. Participants in the upcoming illness. forum will have the opportunity “The department is also looking to offer their thoughts on these to add more officers to communi- issues and voice any other conty policing and looking for the cerns.

New, cheaper Town Hall renovation plan on the table Continued from Page 1
The latest $32 million plan calls for a new 91,000-square-foot Town Hall that would be built on the existing facility’s footprint. It would still have two gymnasiums — an element young families and parks and recreation staff pleaded for during the hearings. However, office sizes were reduced by around 10 percent, with more work stations and common areas, according to Bongiovanni. “They’ve taken great strides to increase efficiency so more can be done with less space,” he said. The building committee is expected to discuss the project at its meeting next week. Members’ approval is necessary before it can move forward to the Town Council and a public hearing. A $30.37 million plan to renovate Town Hall and build a new community center in Mill Pond Park failed in a referendum one year ago this month. The community center’s new location was more of a deterrent to voters than the project’s cost, said those polled in a telephone survey afterwards. Budget was the prime concern raised about the last two plans — a $37 million new building or a $44 million renovation and
addition. Committee members kept this in mind when considering a third option, Bongiovanni told the council. “We as a committee felt we needed to be closer to the dollar amount of the previous referendum,” he said. If the committee approves the plan, a public hearing may be scheduled before the council’s next meeting, Sept. 22. “After hearing from the public, I think we’ll be able to decide if we can support this plan or if it’s still too much,” Mayor Steve Woods said, pointing out that the town has the means to borrow money for the project without putting a heavy burden on tax- The current Newington Town Hall. payers. “But in order to do that we have to put forward a project they’re going to support.”
The latest proposal has a $32M price tag.

Residents asked for feedback on busway development By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — For everyone who cares about what kind of development goes up around Newington’s two busway stations — the town wants to hear from you. The Town Plan & Zoning Commission will host a public hearing Thursday, Sept. 24, to collect residents’ opinions on transit-oriented development (TOD), defined by Town Planner Craig Minor as “community development that includes a mixture of housing, office, retail and/or other amenities, integrated into a walkable neighborhood and located within a half-mile of quality public transportation.” Newington’s transit areas are the town’s Cedar Street and Newington Junction CTfastrak stations, as well as the station along the Hartford rail line to be built on Francis Street by the end of the decade. “We want to make sure that before we start working on this topic it’s something the townspeople get a chance to give their views on,” commission Chairwoman Cathy Hall said. This comes nearly three months after commissioners gave themselves a deadline to write TOD regulations, passing a moratorium on new high-density housing within a half-mile of both stations for up to one year. Many in town opposed this type of housing, so the action prevents developers from bringing such plans forward for the commission’s consideration.

Vacant land adjacent to Newington’s Cedar Street Station, a potential site for transit-oriented development.
“We’ve already lost three of our 12 months, so it’s important we really get going on this,” Vice Chairwoman Carol Anest said. She and other commissioners want to hear from the public before they write their regulations. “I don’t want us to be spinning our wheels — to come up with them and then have people say, that’s not what we wanted,” Anest said. The group plans to focus on the already commercialized Cedar Street before tackling the Newington Junction area, which is surrounded by residential neighborhoods. “Newington Junction is going to be more complicated,” Anest said. “We want to make sure what goes in is the right fit for the community, the town and the residents living in that area.” According to Minor, market
Sixty Fifth Anniversary On September 10th, Jim and Eva Mazzotta will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary. In 1950, they were married in Hartford, Connecticut after which they went to Niagara Falls for a honeymoon. Jim and Eva have lived in Newington for almost fifty years, enjoying a very full life of square dancing, hosting picnics, playing Scrabble and cards, attending musical and theatrical performances and traveling in the U.S. and abroad. In October, they will celebrate their anniversary in Virginia with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchild and a multitude of significant others.
forces drive TOD on vacant or underutilized land close to transit stations. “If the zoning regulations allow it, TOD can enhance the quality of life for residents, but it can also degrade the quality of life. The best way to ensure that Newington gets the right kind of TOD is to create zoning regulations that clearly
state what the community wants,” Minor said. “These three transit nodes will be a valuable resource that the development industry is not going to ignore, so neither should Newington residents.” Some communities will tolerate high-density housing, while others embrace mixed-use neighborhoods where people live, work
and play all on the same block. Others still are more comfortable restricting each activity to its own district. It’s zoning regulations that guide this development. The public hearing will be held in Newington Town Hall, 131 Cedar St., Conference Room L-101, on Thursday, Sept. 24, at 6 p.m.

Do you suffer from ugly, painful VARICOSE VEINS?
On Saturday, Aug. 29, the Connecticut Humane Society (CHS) partnered with state Rep. Matt Lesser and the city of Middletown to host a public rabies vaccination clinic for dogs and cats at the Woodrow Wilson Middle School in Middletown. The humane society’s dedicated and experienced medical staff delivered vaccinations to 71 pets that were brought in by their owners. The rabies clinic not only ensured that the pets were protected against rabies, but that their owners remained in compliance with state law, which mandates that all pets ages 3 months and older be vaccinated against this deadly viral disease. CHS is committed to providing resources and financial assistance to those pet owners who are not able to afford services obtained from a for-profit veterinary facility.

Hour-long tours begin at 6:30 p.m. and will leave every 15 minutes until 8 p.m. Timed tickets are sold prior to the event, with remaining tickets at the door. However, tickets sell out early and group sizes are limited, so it is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance.

Explore Wethersfield’s Ancient Burying Ground at dusk by lantern light and meet some of the individuals who helped shape the town’s more than 375-year history. Tours will be led through the Main Street neighborhood, stopping to encounter residents from the past. Tour participants will meet historical figures like Dr. Jane Robbins, a local woman who trained as a doctor, served as a nurse in the Spanish-American War and World War I and worked as a social worker in New York City’s Little Italy; Thomas Tryon, a movie star during the 1950s and writer of chilling novels; Quash Gomer, a slave from Angola that bought his freedom and raised an educated family; Leonard Chester, one of the early town settlers who established a grist mill; and Albert G.
