Residents offer input into revitalization

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Will Main Street in Old Wethersfield be the future home to a new café, antiques center, or maybe a craft and fine arts market?

These were just a few of the suggestions made by the 50 or so town residents who attended a recent workshop to help town planning officials decide how to revitalize three under-used properties on Main Street.

The sites under review include Comstock & Ferre outbuildings, the Simeon Belden House at the front of the Comstock lot and the vacant Masonic Temple nearby.

The town’s Economic Development and Improvement Commission and Tourism Commission, with the help of CME Architecture firm, are using a $50,000

Clockwise from top left, the main Comstock & Ferre building, the outbuildings at Comstock & Ferre that are currently “underutilized,” the Simeon Belden House and the Masonic Temple. Town officials and residents are looking at options for revitalizing these Main Street properties through a Vibrant Communities grant from the CT Trust for Historic Preservation.

Rocky Hill consignment shop celebrates three years

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

In a town that boasts more than a half-a-dozen consignment stores, Lily Madison Consignment is a gem.

Twin sisters Roseanne Scacca and Joanne Scombs, who grew up in Wethersfield, decided to turn their longtime love of beautiful things into a business. This August will mark the three-year anniversary of their store’s opening.

“We’ve always had a desire for fashion, retail and interior design,” explained Scombs, who came up with the name “Lily Madison”

by combining her daughter’s first name — Madison — with her and Roseanne’s mother’s name: Lily.

More than 1,300 consigners from across the state bring their goods to Lily Madison, along with those who hail all the way from New York and Massachusetts.

Maybe it’s because the friendly sisters who own the place don’t treat them with the uppity, pompous air that many consignment shops do.

“I think we’re just a little different,” says Scombs, now a Wallingford resident.

“Customer service is our number one; we make everybody feel com-

Residents offer input on revitalization plan

Continued from Page 1

Vibrant Communities Grant to plan for the revitalization and enhancement of these under-utilized properties in the heart of the town’s historic district.

Finding for the initiative came from the Preservation Division of the CT Department of Economic and Community Development, awarded to the town by the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation last summer.

After CME Director of Planning John Guszkowski briefed those who attended the recent workshop on the history of the initiative they had the opportunity to make suggestions.

Ideas for uses of the properties included a specialty food store, performance center for a dance or theater group, office or residential space, a café or antiques center. In terms of the Comstock and Ferre outbuildings they offered a few different possibilities related to the seed company’s activities like historical exhibit space, a farm-to-table restaurant, or agricultural demonstrations.

“There was also talk about a year-round farmers

market, setting up smaller booth space for different vendors so they’d have a place to go year round rather than once a week,” explained Town Planner Peter Gillespie. “It would be nice to have related activities that benefit Comstock and vice versa,” he added.

CME is currently assessing the physical condition of all buildings and reports will be finalized in the next few weeks. Officials and property owners will then look into which ideas are viable from a financial standpoint and are expected to reconvene in another community workshop this April.

“The properties are ultimately in private hands so a lot of the work in terms of implementing the plans is still resting on property owners, but the town is willing to try to help it happen,” said Gillespie.

If you have suggestions for the future uses of these properties but were unable to attend the recent workshop, contact the Wethersfield Planning Department at (860) 721-2837.

The sweetest sign of spring: Main St. Creamery opens

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Wethersfield’s favorite ice cream shop has opened for the season with a new addition this year.

Main Street Creamery can now boast its Main Street “Sweetery” featuring homemade chocolates and other goodies.

“Usually when I open for everybody, it’s a sign of spring, but there’s still snow on the ground,” laughed owner Paula Rubinow, who opened the doors to her warm weather oasis on March 1.

The shop’s party room, a popular venue for birthday parties, anniversary gatherings and even the go-to spot for a local Girl Scout Troop, will also now play the role of “Sweetery.”

The room can accommodate parties of up to 30 people and is open during the shop’s regular hours, seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

But it will still double as a party room, with outdoor tents available for spring and summer occasions in the backyard area.

A family from Massachusetts and another from Rhode Island are making the chocolates, which even come in gluten- and sugar-free varieties for people with special dietary restrictions.

“I’m trying to have something for everyone,” said Rubinow, adding, “They really are as good as they look.”

And they do look pretty good. All sorts of colorful treats beckon visitors over to a glass case stocked full of chocolate. Fudge varieties are unique, including chocolate sea salt caramel, mudslide and penuche — a distinct

vanilla and brown sugar concoction.

Traditionalists might go for the old-fashioned favorites from their childhood, like candy buttons and Mary Janes, or be daring and try one of the unique truffles, which range from white cranberry orange and caramel cashew to “Burning Passion” — chocolate infused with chili pepper for a spicy surprise.

For those who don’t know, the Main Street Creamery also has a few savory choices for people who insist on dinner before dessert.

Rubinow’s father once owned a popular deli in Middletown where she grew up. When the building had to be torn down, he moved a small part of his operation to his daughter’s ice cream shop.

Gun makers threaten to leave if assault weapons ban passes Gun-friendly states do their best to lure away local manufacturers STAFF REPORTS and THE CONNECTICUT MIRROR

Oklahoma is the latest state asking a Connecticut gun maker to bring over its manufacturing plant and jobs.

Mark Malkowski, president of New Britain-based Stag Arms, said he’s been contacted by Oklahoma’s Department of Commerce, urging him to move to the Sooner State.

“Connecticut is our home and we have never taken these letters seriously in the past,” Malkowski said. “But if a ban (on assault weapons) would take place, the idea would certainly be on the table.”

Gov. Dannel Malloy has proposed significantly expanding the definition of firearms included under the state’s 20-year-old assault weapons ban.

Stag Arms opened in the state almost 10 years ago and employs nearly 200 people from all over Central Connecticut.

Efrain Lozada of New Britain, who works at Ammunition Storage Components, said, “Don’t take our jobs away. … They should put themselves in our situation and see what would they do. They should try to do everything possible to keep everybody employed; that’s the top thing here in Connecticut. … All the jobs are walking out.”

Last week, Malloy proposed a series of steps to lessen gun violence, including universal background checks. A semi-automatic weapon would be prohibited if it has a detachable magazine and at least one military feature,

such as a folding or telescoping stock, a pistol grip, a bayonet mount or a flash suppressor. Magazines would be limited to holding 10 rounds or fewer.

Andrew Doba, Malloy’s spokesman, said, “The goal of the governor’s proposal is to make Connecticut safer.

We hope the industry will join us in that effort.”

Other Connecticut-based gun makers who have also been approached by politicians from a growing list of states have not said if they’d leave Connecticut.

Officials from Texas, South Carolina, Arizona and Mississippi are arguing that gun manufacturers should abandon states with tough gun laws, like New York and Connecticut, for places where there are fewer restrictions on gun ownership.

Besides Stag Arms, PTR in Bristol, Hartford-based Colt, Southportbased Sturm, Ruger and Co. and New Haven-based Mossberg & Sons have received pitches from other states.

While Connecticut’s gun makers have not made public any plans to move, they have made it very clear to Connecticut’s state legislators that they are an economic force in the state.

At a hearing in Hartford in January on proposed state gun regulations, weapons makers stressed the continued importance of the industry to the state, saying the companies generate $1.75 billion in revenue and create

thousands of jobs.

PTR’s Chief Executive Officer Josh Fiorini says he’s heard “from South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Alabama and others” about moving his company, which was in Farmington until it moved to Bristol in January 2012 The Bristol company CEO says the out-of-state offers include “all kinds of incentives and guarantees” that any business would be foolish not to consider.

Though Malkowski says he has not had an opportunity to meet with the governor one-on-one, he did meet with his staff.

“They were welcoming and listened to what I had to say,”Malkowski said. “They agreed to meet with me again, let me show them the products we manufacture and meet some of the people who would be directly affected by an arbitrary ban on cosmetic features.”

Malkowski said he is hopeful that if he proceeds on fact and not emotion, “we can work together to achieve the common goal of a safe Connecticut.”

Malloy said he remains committed to his new, tough gun-control proposal. “We’re going to move forward with common-sense gun safety,” he said.

Malloy’s proposal would ban the sale of any semi-automatic rifle with one “military characteristic,” such as a

pistol grip, flash suppressor or bayonet lug. A ban would outlaw Stag’s entire AR-15-style product line in Connecticut. The AR-15 also is part of the Colt legacy.

Don Hackler, spokesman for Oklahoma’s Department of Commerce, confirmed that the state was reaching out to gun manufacturers, but he declined to identify which ones. Te state has, however, made up a brochure that urges gun makers to “Set Your Sites on Oklahoma!”

The brochure says the state is “primed and ready” for gun manufacturing facilities and says it has one

the best gunsmithing programs in the nation at its Murray State College.

In addition, the brochure said, Oklahoma is a “right-to-work” state that allows employers to decide whether a union represents their workers.

The brochure also said, “employees can live and work in Oklahoma without crowds, fighting traffic or a high cost of living.”

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin declined to say how many gun manufacturers her state has reached out to.

“But we’re always open to creating jobs,” she said.

Author to lecture on life, legacy of Isabella Beecher Hooker

Susan Campbell to talk about rebellious suffragist, abolitionist at Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum In celebration of Women’s History Month, the WebbDeane-Stevens Museum will host a lecture, “Swimming Against the Tide in Crinoline and Pin Curls: The Life and Spirit of Isabella Beecher Hooker,” featuring award-winning author Susan Campbell, Thursday, March 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the museum, 211 Main St. The lecture will be preceded by a wine reception (by donation) at 6 p.m. Admission is $8.

According to Campbell, Isabella Beecher Hooker, the younger half-sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe, was a prime example of the modern woman— trying to have it all, and trying to have it all at once. She cut her teeth on the abolition movement then moved to push for votes for women.

Raised to believe that her place was at home, Hooker chaffed at the role. She was prickly. She refused to go quietly. She sided against her powerful family when

her brother, a noted minister, was involved in a sex scandal that rocked the nation.

Though he was a neighbor, Mark Twain avoided her, as did some of her family members. Hooker was, in her own

Campbell points out, we can learn a lot from her, in no small part because “she kept her sense of humor and her rage intact.” words, “tempest-tossed,” and, as Campbell points out, we can learn a lot from her, in no small part because “she kept her sense of humor and her rage intact.”

Despite the public censure she would face, Hooker emerged from her Hartford mansion an accomplished public speaker, a skilled lobbyist, and a good writer, yet history has mostly forgotten

Since 1930 “Barney” Barker Oil Co. has been dedicated to doing business the old fashioned way - With QUALITY DEPENDABLE FRIENDLY SERVICE. We have automatic delivery, various payment plans and modern delivery and service fleet.

Wethersfield Town Hall, circa 1998.

“Each of these buildings is involved in emergency response,” Town Manager Jeff Bridges told the council Monday.

For example, the Town Hall serves as the town’s Emergency Operations Center while the Nature Center becomes a shelter for animals and families with animals.

Although they exist in two different sides of the same building, the Wethersfield Library and the Town Hall runs on separate generators.

If the town does not receive grant funding, new generators would still be necessary but their purchase would have to be phased over a five-year period.

According to Physical Services Director Sally Katz, the current generators are nearing the end of their life cycle and some contain parts that are no longer available for repair.

New equipment would not only be more reliable, but also run at significant cost savings.

“If we can, if the gas flow is sufficient,” Bridges continued, “we will replace the generators with natural gas-powered generators. These are more cost-efficient and energy-efficient.”

Blue skies and sunshine graced the town early this week as officials continued their preparations for disaster mitigation in the wake of the February blizzard, the first weather event of 2013.

The Town Council made a unanimous vote at their meeting Monday night to apply for a $245,000 grant for the replacement of eight generators in town buildings — specifically those open during emergencies.

The Hazard Mitigation Program — administered by FEMA — will cover 75 percent of the total $327,000 cost of the generators.

If awarded, the town would be responsible for the remaining $81,750, to be drawn from the Capital Improvements Fund.

Current equipment is outdated and runs the risk of malfunctioning during power outages. Wethersfield’s Volunteer Ambulance Association and the Eleanor Buck Wolfe Nature Center have used the same generators since 1970, while the machines at the Pitkin Community Center and Wethersfield Volunteer Fire Co. 1 are both from 1974.

The other two fire companies installed theirs in 1983 and 1986; the Physical Services Department Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) (Transfer Station) in 1986. The new- 225-4601, ext. 210, or eschmitt@ est of any town generator is inside newbritainherald.com.

Legislators offer two sets of gun recommendations

HARTFORD — A legislative working group, unable to craft a bipartisan package of gun reforms, instead forwarded two sets of recommendations Tuesday to legislative leaders who must now write a final bill for the entire General Assembly to consider.

Democrats and Republicans stressed how the parties’ dueling packages include about 16 commonalties, such as universal background checks for all firearms sales. But

the sides differ on two key issues in the wake of the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School: expanding the reach of Connecticut’s assault weapons ban and banning large-capacity ammunition magazines.

The Democrats, who control the General Assembly, want to expand the state’s definition of an assault weapon to include more guns.

While residents would be forbidden from purchasing these weapons, the state’s gun manufacturers would still be allowed to produce them.

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).

Nominated for three awards for best first novel, the Anthony Award, Macavity Award, and Barry award; was awarded an Alex Award; was nominated for a Dilys Award and was on the New York Times Bestseller List.
