ALEX SYPHERSStaff Writer

The roadside hot dog and grill truck may become a thing of the past in Newington as the Planning and Zoning Commission is try-ing to pass changes in the town ordinance to prohibit such estab-lishments in the town due to safety concerns.

Representatives from the TPZ met with the Town Council to discuss the future of street vending in town and expressed their desire to see that the sale of food from roadside trucks would be abol-ished from the town by 2012. The desired change in the ordinance as read by TPZ Chairman states that, “The peddling of merchan-dise and food vending within the Town is prohibited except when conducted in conjunction with a town-sponsored event or an event approved under Chapter 361 of this ordinance as a ‘Special Event’.” The change allows for a one year “grandfathering” period for current vendors.

The areas designated for street vending were established by a commission in 1992 and were based on safety, traffic flow, and the location of established restau-rants at the time. The regulations established by the commission in April 1992 state that the street vendors are able to sell their mer-chandise from nine designated locations within the town limits

for up to one year, with a permit. The original ordinances of 1992 stated that this area would be evaluated upon installation of a traffic signal and the opening of the shops in the Newington Fair plaza.

“These vendors, for some rea-son, feel they have the inherent right to a location forever when in reality this permit that is issued is for one year only,” said TPZ member Dominic Pane.

The representatives from the TPZ expressed their concerns that the areas and street vending itself have become unsafe since the 1992 regulations were passed.

“I think the entire commission agreed that it [street vending] should just be eliminated,” Pane said. “It’s been 18 years since we reviewed all this stuff and the council reviewed it, and in 18 years the traffic in all the Town of Newington has increased to the point of wHere it’s not a practical thing to have on the roadways.”

Pane used the example of a for-mer Maselli Road vendor, showing photographs to the Town Council of what he believed was a danger-ous situation. The vendor located at the corner of Pane Road and Maselli Road, Blanche’s Roadside Grill, had already discontinued their service before the TPZ came to the Town Council, leaving the only vendor in town on Constance Leigh Drive.

The Newington Police

Department reviewed the traffic and safety concerns expressed by the TPZ in August. In the report from the NPD, Chief Richard Mulhall stated that they did not see any safety issues with the ven-dor and there have been no traffic accidents or complaints due to street vendors.

“I take offense to that because I have a commercial building down there. I have two building there and I drive around that area a lot, and I have reported quite a few instances to the police depart-ment,” Pane said.

The regulations established on street vending in 1992 gave the Newington Chief of Police juris-diction over the locations and safety of the street vendors.

“My feeling is that we have a professional police department. they should be the ones that determine the safety of a particu-lar location. that hasn’t changed since 1992,” said Town Manager John Salomone.

Councilor Meg Casasanta echoed the importance of the police department saying, “I realize commissioner Pane has a property there and it conflicts with his interests, but we need to very careful and allow the police department to do their job, and allowing business who wish to remain in Newington even if it is just street vending. we allow them to do that legally like they are doing now.”

ago in July, as Wright pointed out, were trying to accomplish the same mission as the veterans of more modern conflicts and of today’s battles in Afghanistan. They were helping those in need preserve freedom in their lands.

“Just like the Americans are doing in Afghanistan; they are fighting for the American way of life,” he said. “I think it is important to stop to remember all those who gave their lives and also all those who stood up and answered the call of duty to fight for our way of life in our country.”

O’Brien, himself a vet-eran from the Vietnam era, serving from 1965 to 1995, reflected on the importance of Veterans Day in commemorating the unsung heroes of the military, many of whom are women.

“A little more than 14 percent of the full- time enlisted military are women …,” said O’Brien. “These women are not just nurses or clerks any longer … We must thank all men and women serving now or who have served in past, whether in was in the heat of battle, the constant chill of the Cold War, or the few

intermittent years of peace.”The ceremony culminated when the names

of Newington’s veterans were solemnly read to the audience. For each of the names of Newington’s fallen veterans, a rose carried by a Boy Scout of Troop 347 and a member of the Newington High School Key Club was

carried to the memorial and laid gently across the base and given a salute of respect by a Boy Scout honor guard.

“We really have a great tradition, especially the procession with the flow-ers to the monument,” said Town Manager John Salomone. “When you physically see each person carry the flower to the monument, you realize that there is a deceased war veteran behind that it really puts it in perspective than from just reading the list.”

The memorial was donated by the Newington Kiwanis Club in 1987.

After the ceremony members of American Legion Post 117 held a Veterans Day Lunch at their post on 294 Willard Ave. It was a time for friends to gather and reminisce about their time spent in military service as young men. Stories of former service buddies and places traveled floated through the air as

the veterans enjoyed their meal.To the members of the American Legion

Post 117 Veterans Day is an especially impor-tant time to remind people that many of today’s veterans returning home from conflict areas are in need of housing and other assis-tance. The American Legion has made it their

goal to help these young men and women returning home find the support they need and has been working closely with the Veteran’s Affairs Campus in Newington in the upcoming Victory Gardens veterans housing complex.

“Our big push right now is to try to get younger vets coming that are back to know more about us and that we’re here for them when they return, to help them with what ever their needs are,” said Beth DelBuono of American Legion Post 117.

Renee Giantonio of Newington is one of 12 executives loaned or sponsored by a local corporation to assist with the 2010 United Way Community Campaign through the end of November. Giantonio is sponsored by Aetna.

As a loaned executive, Giantonio meets with local businesses and their employees on behalf of the Community Campaign. All 12 loaned executives are sponsored or loaned by local corporations, which helps United Way to reduce staffing costs and overhead so more than 85 cents of every dollar raised through the campaign can benefit programs and services that help people improve their lives, according to the organization.

Giantonio holds a Bachelor of Science degree in finance and eco-nomics from Fairfield University. Prior to joining United Way’s

2010 Loaned Executive Program, she developed and implement-ed a math based summer camp at the University of Hartford for under-represented middle

school students from Hartford and East Hartford. She volun-teers with Covenant Preparatory School in Hartford, and St. Mary’s School in Newington.

A joint effort of United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut and Community Health Charities of New England, the United Way Community Campaign is the largest annual health and human service fund-rais-ing effort in Connecticut and the second largest in New England. The campaign raises resources to help ensure that everyone in central and northeastern Connecticut has access to the building blocks for a good life: education, income and health.

The 2010 campaign goal is $25.8 million.

field. Milone and MacBroom estimated the costs for the base bid to be close to $1.14 million if started by 2011. If the project is not started until after 2011 Milone and MacBroom estimated a 5 percent to 7 percent increase in costs. The alternative options the council did not approve to send to bid included field light-ing for $$220,000, bleachers for $52,000, and bleacher padding for $30,000.

According to councilor Maureen Klett, chairwoman of the Clem Lemire Artificial Turf Committee, the committee has about $670,000 available for the project currently, and is hoping to receive an additional $640,000 grant in the spring from the state Capital Improvement Program.

“We cannot award any bid without having any funds in place,” Salomone said. “After the bid is received and analyzed then at that point then we will known what the final number would be if it needs to be supplemented,

and I will tell you it will need to be supplemented, whether it has to be supplemented to the tune of $640,000 is anybody’s guess. We’re hopeful there are items on here that will be less because of the bidding environment.”

“There is the hope that with the economy the way it is people will be hungry for business and that this will come back in at a lower dollar figure,” Klett said. “There is no obligation on our part to accept the bid.”

The Clem L e m i r e Committee is looking to save money by reducing the amount of material that needs to be trans-ported off site by making berms to reduce the size of hills on

the north side of the park, said Councilor Mike Lenares. Milone and MacBroom estimated the costs of excavation and material removal to be in the range of $160,000.

The artificial turf committee hopes to begin construction next spring or to at least have a better sense of the project costs. Having a bid in by March, as the committee suggest-ed, would allow the town to review the project and allocate funds before finaliz-ing the town’s fiscal budget in April.

“We don’t know where we are at until we get these true figures in there,” Lenares told the

council. “Let’s get a true figure, a true number, then we can get a true idea instead of having a guessing game about where we will be.”

By Andy RAgAliStaff Writer

There’s no doubt about it, the Thanksgiving Day football game always shapes up to be an intense battle, no matter what the records of the two teams fac-ing off are. When Wethersfield and Newington take the field for their traditional rivalry game T h a n k s g i v i n g morning at Alumni Field in Newington, there will be no lack of drama. Both teams are playing for so much, and with emotions so high, it promises to be a fight to the finish.

N e w i n g t o n comes in at 0-9, a team desperate for a victo-ry. The Indians have defeated Wethersfield the last four years in their annual match up, and will not want to end that streak this year.

“They’re better than their record shows,” said Wethersfield head coach John Campanello. “We have a rivalry, so anything can happen this game.”

On the opposite end of the spectrum is Campanello’s Eagles, who are 8-1 going into the game after pulling off a close 14-12 victory over Northwest Catholic last week. The Eagles are among one of the top 50 teams in the state, and look playoff-bound with or without a victory against Newington. Still, a victory would be a little sweeter for the Eagles, especially

with a four year losing streak on Thanksgiving day.

“We’re not going to have a problem getting up for the game,” Campanello said.

After a brief hiatus from the team due to illness, Newington head coach Clay Hillyer will be back on the sidelines guiding his team. Although his team plays in a tougher division then

We t h e r s f i e l d , Hillyer knows his Newington is the underdog.

“When you’re 0-9, you’re always an underdog,” Hillyer said, “but ( Wethersfield) is a very good team.”

Hillyer finds it interesting that the Eagles lost a great play-

er in quarterback Tyler Murphy last year, but still came back with such a great season.

“They have just as danger-ous a quarterback,” Hillyer said of Wethersfield’s Steve Vasquez. “He’s very different, but he’s a great runner. (Wethersfield) is playing out of passion, and they’re bigger then we are, they’re strong, and they’re play-ing hard.”

The Eagles running attack is potent this year, a two-headed monster led by Vasquez, who has tallied over 800 yards on the ground so far and 12 TDs. Running back Chris Lesure has 13 TDs to go along with 739 yards. Lesure does damage on the defensive end as well, lead-ing the team with 46 tackles and eight sacks.

All season Campanello has only asked that his team improve every week, and preparation for this game is no different.

“We’re just trying to get ready,” he said. “Trying to get better ourselves.”

On the Newington side, the Indians are led by quarter-back Jon Snyder, who has been carrying the team with his arm and his feet. Snyder has Michael Vick like elusiveness, and Hillyer said that he is more than capable of putting in a Vick-like performance like the Eagles quarterback had against the Redskins this NFL sea-son. Snyder’s favorite targets

are Freddy Burgos, Trevor Colossa, and Alex Lomaglio. All three receivers have sure hands and good speed, and as of late with the Indian passing game becoming more and more important, have stepped up to the plate.

“I think we’re getting better on offense,” Hillyer. “It comes with experience. The running game has kind of evaporated.”

Hillyer feels it ’s important for his team to establish a running game against Wethersfield, not wanting his offense becoming too predictable.

The Thanksgiving Day game is more than a tradition, it ’s

bragging rights. Both commu-nities will be out to support their town. It ’s not just about the game, but about the fes-tivity and the big crowds and high emotions. Hillyer said the game “is what high school foot-ball is all about,” and he didn’t even play in Thanksgiving Day games growing up in New York. “It shapes how players think of their football experience after-wards,” he added.

It ’s of significance for the two towns as well as the two high schools, but for players there is no game of more importance then the Thanksgiving Day game.
