Rocky Hill residents protest nursing home for convicts

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Rocky Hill residents rallied at the State Capitol Wednesday, urging the state to “Just say no!” to moving 95 mentally ill patients and criminals to a nursing home on West Street, claiming it poses a “serious safety concern.”

State Rep. Tony Guerrera, D-Rocky Hill, and state Sen. Paul Doyle, D-Wethersfield, led more than 100 people through the Capitol building and up to Gov. Dannel Malloy’s office, where they chanted their plea and Volume 53, No. 8

handed over a petition signed by over 4,000 opponents.

“This sends a serious message to the governor,” said Guerrera, who along with Rocky Hill Mayor Tony LaRosa and Doyle have voiced opposition to the project since the state departments of Correction and Mental Health and Addiction Services announced it in early December.

State officials have said they would save an estimated $5.5 million by moving inmates to nursing homes, because the federal government pays for half the cost of their care in such facilities. But opponents say this particular site, operated by iCare Management, LLC, is unfit because of its location in a residential neighborhood that is also nearby parks, schools and a recreational complex.

Wave of revaluation mailers go out to residents

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Before home improvement projects begin this spring, residents are being asked to share how their properties have changed since 2008, when the last Revaluation was conducted.

A year-long process that began in October, “reval” time is welcomed by some, dreaded by others.

That’s because as property values go up, so do taxes.

The 2013 Revaluation will determine next December’s Grand List, to impact tax bills July 2014. The last wave of data

mailers just went out to all property owners in town, who are being asked to indicate if the town’s most recent record of their home or business is correct or if there are any discrepancies.

Forms are to be returned within ten days after they are received.

Maybe you added a screened-in porch recently, or a shed in the backyard. Is your basement finally finished?

Maybe your garage now has two bays instead of just one, or conversely, you removed the back deck to create more yard space.

Whatever tangible changes

Kids gearing up for 3rd annual Wethersfield PTO Spelling Bee

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

There’s one beehive in town still alive and buzzing this month, and it’s filled with busy workers mastering their words.

Families are gearing up for the Third Annual Wethersfield Schools PTO Spelling Bee, to be held midMarch. Facilitated by each of the elementary schools’ parent-teacher organizations, the popular event has grown to include middle school students this year.

Three years ago, Highcrest Elementary parent Leslie Esoian was disappointed with the district’s Connecticut Mastery Test scores and decided one way to improve literacy at her son’s school would be to organize a spelling bee.

The first bee was in 2011 at Highcrest Elementary. Last year Wethersfield’s other four grammar schools were invited to participate and this time seventh and eighthgraders will join in, too. By this past Wednesday 50 students had already registered, but Esoian — now Bee Team President, is hoping for many more.

“It’s going to be fun and the kids and parents that appreciate spelling and academics will participate; the ones who are more sports-oriented will be doing that,” said Esoian, who also hopes the fact the event is on a Saturday won’t deter kids.

“Last year it was on a Friday night and because there were so many students we were there for five or six hours and it was just too

long of an evening for families.”

The ultimate goal is for even just one Wethersfield student to make it to the Scripps National WHAT: Wethersfield Schools Spelling Bee. Held every May in District PTO Spelling Bee Washington, D.C., the event draws WHEN: Saturday, March 23 kids from all over the country. But WHERE: Wethersfield High there has never been a winner from School Auditorium, 411 WolConnecticut, and that’s where cott Hill Road the idea to include seventh- and eighth-graders came from. Most of the national winners are of that older age bracket, rather than the “If they used the new words elementary level.

The lengthy lists of practice they’re learning in sentences that will help, and if you read a lot you’re learning new words all the time,” Esoian explained.

Sitting at the judging table again this year will be Miss Regina, a wellknown face from the Wethersfield Library’s Children’s Department.

Bee officials are looking for businesses and area organizations to help sponsor the evening — only one has offered thus far.

Costs exceed $2,000, including token prizes for each participant, prizes for the winner and runnerup in each grade category, as well as T-shirts, banners, contestant LESLIE ESOIAN badges, concessions, and Web site Highcrest Elementary parent maintenance. Volunteers to help the night of the event are also needed. words for each grade actually come If you’d like to be a sponsor, contact from Scripps.

Rocky Hill residents rally against home for convicts Continued from Page 1

associations with people that are perhaps criminals themselves and it will attract criminal activity to the area,” said Leslie Kerz, who organized Wednesday’s rally and lives several miles away from the proposed site, formerly a nursing home known as Haven Health Care.

Kerz has two sons, ages 3 and 8 — the latter plays Little League on a field located less than a mile away from the site.

Opponents argue that the private-security team that would staff the home is not fit to handle dangerous criminals, because the team would exclude the state’s unionized prison employees.

“They would have very little training; if you’re getting paid $10 an hour you won’t have the same commitment,” Doyle said at Wednesday’s rally.

“Can they guarantee our children will be safe?” asked Lisa Quayle, whose choice to join in the rally stems from the fact that she lives in the surrounding neighborhood and she fears for the safety of her 15-year-old daughter.

Erica Schmitt | Staff

At left, more than a hundred people gathered at the State Capitol to protest a proposed nursing home for convicts and mental health patients. At right, State Rep. Tony Guerrera D-Rocky Hill, and Sen. Paul Doyle led the troops through the Capitol building to Governor Malloy’s office, where they delivered a petition with more than 4,000 signatures of opponents to the project before chanting “Just say no!”

Prison inmates and patients from the Connecticut Valley Hospital were scheduled to move to the facility at 60 West St. later this month. However, their arrival may be delayed by a court hearing to be held within the next week or two, when opponents will challenge the plan.

Opponents said this isn’t just a Rocky Hill issue.

State officials have proposed opening more such “assisted-living” facilities for sick and elderly inmates across Connecticut, meaning other municipalities could be faced with a similar development.

The bill town and state officials

are proposing would prevent the state from creating these types of facilities without the review and agreement of town officials.

“We’re hoping if we get the message to other legislators, we’ll have their support,” said Doyle, who has made suggestions to remedy the issue. “We could put a

similar facility on the site of a current prison or one that they’re closing, but putting them in a residential neighborhood is not a solution.”

A change in the cost of attending Central Connecticut State University and 16 other state colleges and universities governed by the Board of Regents for Higher Education has stalled — for now.

The board’s finance committee decided Tuesday to delay voting on a proposed change that would raise tuition for in-state students while decreasing it for non-Connecticut residents.

“They didn’t take a vote regarding the tuition fee proposal,” said Colleen Flanagan Johnson, director of public affairs for the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities.

“They simply wanted additional time and additional information for board members to consider.”

Johnson added that the vote is expected to take place at the March 5 committee meeting.

On average, in-state students living on-campus at Central, Eastern Connecticut, Southern or Western Connecticut State universities would pay $778 more next semester than they currently are. Those living offcampus, on average, would be hit with a $434 jump.

Tuition costs for out-of-state students would decrease by $170 per semester. The drop in tuition is part of a push to counteract a drop in out-of-state enrollment figures at all four universities. A board staff report states that each of the universities has “expressed concern that the high cost of the out-of-state rate was a major deterrent to attracting out-ofstate students.” And while lowering the rate would result in a loss of $2 million in revenue “it is expected this could be partially outweighed by an

increase in the number of full-time, out-of-state students” increasing.

CCSU President Jack Miller, however, isn’t sold on the assumption that a small decrease will produce a significant increase in out-of-state enrollment.

“We are always going to be universities for the state of Connecticut,” Miller said. “Lowering it may help a little bit, but I don’t think it’s going to have a major impact. But anytime we can attract a few more people, it’s helpful.”

Currently, out-of-state undergraduate students attending CCSU pay a tuition of $9,676 per semester. That’s $5,516 more than a Connecticut resident. A standard dorm at the New Britain university is $2,925 per term.

While he couldn’t say with absolute certainty that a tuition change would take place as there are still many steps that need to happen before it’s official, Miller said all indications are that, as a result of drastic cuts in state funding and a mandatory 5 percent pay raise for unionized employees next year, it’s likely to be implemented.

“I think everyone wishes there was no need for an increase,” the president said. “The best thing we can do now is to try and keep it as low as possible. We’re going to have to do some increases, but we all need to do our best to keep it as low as possible.”

CCSU’s tuition and fee proposal for the 2014 fiscal year, according to Board of Regents Finance Committee documentation, reflects an increase of $385, or 4.6 percent for in-state undergraduate commuting students and $835, or a 4.5 percent hike for in-state undergraduate students living in university housing. The number, Miller said, has grown slightly since then, to around 5.2 percent.

Central Connecticut State is projecting only a slight decrease in overall undergraduate enrollment next year (0.3 percent) and a fall in part-time enrollment of 1.6 percent, which is made up mostly of out-ofstate students.

3 Wethersfield, Rocky Hill wrestlers place at Class Ls

By KEVIN D. ROBERTS STAFF WRITER

The Wethersfield and Rocky Hill wrestling teams may have only had a combined three grapplers place in their respective class championships last weekend, but the teams made the most out of them.

Wethersfield seniors Jimmy McDunnah and Nathan Arroyo each placed in the top six in Class L and earned a trip to the State Open, which starts this afternoon at New Haven’s Floyd Little Athletic Center. Rocky Hill junior Chris Young also finished in the top six at the Class S meet and earned a trip to the Open.

McDunnah had the best finish of the three, taking home a Class L state title at 182 pounds. Young took second at 182 in Class S while Arroyo finished sixth at 285 in Class L. In a tough final against Daniel Hand’s Kevin Wivell, McDunnah took a 3-2 decision in an ultimate tiebreaker. After going through three overtimes, it was determined that McDunnah was the winner because he held position on top of Wivell for one of the two 30-sec-

ond tiebreaker periods.

McDunnah was the No. 3 seed in the 182 bracket and came in with a 26-2 record. After receiving a first round bye, McDunnah pinned Bristol Eastern’s Luis Rivera Lopez in 1:15 in the second round, then pinned Immaculate/ Joel Barlow’s Dante Hristu in 1:27 in the quarterfinal. In the semifinal, McDunnah faced No. 4 seed Michael Berlandy of Farmington.

Berlandy was 34-5 entering the tournament, but McDunnah pinned him in 4:18 to reach the final.

In the final, McDunnah faced the top seed Wivell, who entered the tournament with a 31-0 record.

McDunnah trailed 1-0 after two periods against Wivell, but was able to secure a point to force overtime and ended up winning the title in the ultimate tiebreaker.

Arroyo entered the 285 bracket as the No. 7 seed with a 17-4 record. He received a first round bye, then won an 11-10 decision over Middletown’s Morgan Tetrault. Arroyo lost his quarterfinal match to Fairfield Warde’s Amed Hourani and dropped into the consolation bracket. In his first

consolation bracket match, Arroyo took a forfeit win over Maloney’s Bryan Gonzalez-Munoz. Arroyo scored an 18-3 technical fall over Fairfield Ludlowe’s Jacob Jessen in his second consolation match.

In the consolation semifinal, Arroyo lost to Bristol Eastern’s A.J. Mangual. Arroyo then faced Windsor’s Keith Benjamin in the fifth place match and lost a tough decision, 5-3, to finish sixth.

Young entered Class S’s 182 bracket as the No. 2 seed and got a bye through the first round. In the second round, Young pinned Griswold’s Jacob DeRosa in 1:41.

Young and Montville’s McKenzie Mahn battled into the third period of their quarterfinal match before Young won by pin with 40 seconds left. In the semifinal, Young faced Plainville’s Marcus Slivinski and pinned him in just 40 seconds to reach the final.

Young squared off against topseeded Spencer Hill of Windham, a senior who entered the tournament at 24-2. Young battled in the final, but lost a 2-1 decision to Hill. Windham went on to win the team title in Class S. McDunnah is the top overall

Hospitality is key at Wethersfield native’s restaurant

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Come in to Vito’s in Newington for a pizza on a Friday night and you might just catch Owner Mike Maffuci, a Wethersfield native, jumping the karaoke list to belt out Frank Sinatra.

“Once in a while,” he said on a recent afternoon amidst a glass of house red wine, which carries Vito’s signature logo on the bottle.

Maffuci and his three siblings grew up in Wethersfield with a mom who ran a health clinic and a father who was always feeding the family homemade pizza. His love for authentic Italian food translated into the first Vito’s Restaurant opening in Wethersfield in 1977.

That location is now owned by Maffuci’s sisters Carol and Linda, while his brother Robert owns Vito’s in the Park in Hartford and Vito’s by the Water in Windsor.

“They all had other skills but the restaurant kept calling them back,” says Maffuci, who once had a dream of opening up a ski resort, but the restaurant pulled him back, too.

“You have to be committed to

it,” he explained. “We’ve been here 17 years and seen places come and go, but we’re still here. We’ve been a part of town a long time.”

If you ask Maffuci what he thinks Vito’s regulars love most about the downtown joint he’ll say matter-of-factly, “Me,” then after a short pause for effect, “We have a friendly atmosphere. Most of the employees have been here a long time; everybody knows them.”

Longtime Manager Tim Jovel started when was 16 years old and is now running the place. But Vito’s has hired lots of Newington kids over the years who have came and went as they graduate from Newington High School.

“Tim is like a son to me. But we’ve seen a whole generation come through here.” Maffuci says.

If you come in for lunch you’ll catch Diane Wind-Allard, who has carried piping-hot pizzas alongside Tim for the last 13 years. All three live in Newington.

Aside from its convenient downtown location at the corner of Main and Cedar Streets – easy walking distance for lots of locals

The bar at Vito’s Pizzaria, 14 East Cedar St., Newington.

– Vito’s makes great pizza.

“We’ve been making gourmet pizzas long before they became famous,” says Maffuci, who’s personal favorite is the Hawaiian, traditionally sprinkled with pineapple and Canadian bacon, with a house addition of pepperoni, peppers and a dash of hot sauce.

But the pizza sauce is different from the spaghetti sauce, which tops everything from baked ziti to chicken parmesan. (The most popular dish on the menu.)

“We are the home of chicken parm,” Maffuci will tell you. “We have a very good sauce; it’s in

between sweet and tangy. I’ve had people tell me they can drink it with a spoon.”

Those who want to skip the pizza and pasta can opt for a salad, which are big enough for two hungry adults to share.

Panel agrees school safety plans should meet minimum standards

HARTFORD — A legislative subcommittee reviewing school security measures after the Newtown school shooting plans to recommend that local school safety and security plans meet basic minimum requirements. Those plans would be submitted to state officials for review.

The panel is also recommending the state allocate extra funds to help school districts pay for security measures such as reinforced entryways with ballistic glass, security

cameras and buzzer systems.

The school security subcommittee of the General Assembly’s Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children’s Safety, agreed on Tuesday to a list of consensus recommendations to legislative leaders.

Those ideas will be considered for a final package of reforms, to be voted on by the full legislature, likely next month.

The subcommittee did not agree to require more school safety officers.

Bill seeks inspections for high-mileage cars (AP) — Connecticut lawmakers are considering a bill that would require inspections of high-mileage vehicles.

State Rep. Tom Vicino, a Democrat from Clinton, has proposed a bill that would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to periodically inspect any registered vehicle with an odometer mileage reading of more than 100,000.

Vicino, a first-term lawmaker, is the owner-operator of Superior Auto in Westbrook and a former

member of the Connecticut Auto Body Board of Directors.

The General Assembly’s Transportation Committee is scheduled to hear testimony on the bill today.

Committee members are also scheduled to hear testimony that same day on a bill proposed by Greenwich Rep. Livvy Floren, a Republican. It would require anyone 65 years old or older to undergo an eye examination before DMV can renew their driver’s license.

AUTHOR CHRISTOPHER L. WEBBER AT WETHERSFIELD LIBRARY: Author Christopher L. Webber will be at the library to speak about his book, “American to the Backbone: the Life of James W.C. Pennington, the Fugitive Slave Who Became One of the First Black Abolitionists.” Join us Monday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. to hear the remarkable story of former slave James Pennington, who became a Yale scholar, congregational pastor, and international leader of the Antebellum abolitionist movement.

In 1827, at the age of 19, Pennington escaped from slavery. In five years he had become a school teacher and just 10 years later Pennington was ordained to the ministry after studying at Yale. He served congregations in Long Island, Hartford, and Manhattan and traveled three times to Europe as an anti-slavery advocate. Webber is the author of more than two-dozen books, including Reinventing Marriage and Beyond Beowulf. A graduate of Princeton University and an ordained minister, Webber has served parishes

of the Episcopal Church across the Northeast. His interest in Pennington developed while compiling a Yearbook of American Saints. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Registration for this program is suggested. Call (860) 257-2811 to register or for more information.

GARDENING PROGRAM AT WETHERSFIELD LIBRARY: The library will host a gardening program titled, “Color Succession in the Garden” Tuesday, March 5, at 7 p.m. Sarah Bailey, Certified Advanced Master Gardener and a Connecticut Accredited Nursery Professional will present the program.

Some gardens just stand out no matter what time of year it is. They maintain a strong visual image, yet always look different and fresh as the seasons progress. One of the secrets to creating a pleasing and inspiring garden is color. How color works, and the different ways to use it in your garden will be the topic of the program. How color interacts, relating it to the seasons, and how to develop effective color progression in your garden will all be discussed. Bailey has watered, weeded, fertilized and provided horticultural and design advice in the Farmington Valley area for the last 15 years. Along with being the Hartford County Coordinator for the UConn Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program, youth gardening coordinator, and a pesticide safety educator, Bailey also attends to private garden clients. Additionally, she is on the boards of directors for the Connecticut Horticultural Society and the Connecticut Community Gardening Association. The program is free and open to all.

AUTHOR ROBERT H. STEELE AT WETHERSFIELD LIBRARY: Author and former Connecticut Congressman Bob Steele will discuss and sign his new novel, “The Curse: Big-Time Gambling’s Seduction of a Small New England Town,” at the Wethersfield Library Thursday, March 7, at 7 p.m. Steele’s novel begins in 1637 with the massacre of the Pequot Indians and a Pequot sachem’s curse aimed at the young English soldier who is about to kill him. The story then jumps 350 years as the soldier’s 13th-generation descendant becomes embroiled in a battle to stop a fictional Indian tribe from building a casino that threatens his

town and ancestral home. The lure of easy money drives everyone, from the tribe’s chief to a shadowy Miami billionaire, venal politicians, and Providence mobsters, while a small Connecticut town must choose between preserving its character or accepting an extraordinary proposal that will change it forever. Steele is vice chairman of an international retail marketing agency and has been a director of numerous companies. A graduate of Amherst College and Columbia University, he served in the CIA and Congress, and was a candidate for governor of Connecticut. He lives with his wife in Essex. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Registration for this program is suggested. Call (860) 257-2811 to register or for more information.

Don Hewes (Fred Astaire) is devastated when his longtime dancing partner, Nadine Hale (Ann Miller), breaks up the team to set out on her own. Determined to prove that he can succeed without her, Astaire vows that he can pick any random chorus girl and make her a star. Fortunately for him, the chorus girl he picks happens to be one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century, Judy Garland (playing Hannah Brown).

Second Saturday cinema is free and open to the public. Registration is not required. Light refreshments are provided by the Friends of the Wethersfield Library. For information call the Library at (860) 257-2811, or visit the library.
