Sewer service splits council By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
A deadlocked Town Council failed to settle the question of extending sewers for a proposed age-restricted housing development on Laning Street. Frank Fragola, a local business owner and developer, wants to connect age-restricted condominiums he plans to build on Laning Street to the town’s sewer system. The property is outside the town’s sewer service zone. Fragola offered to swap land by forgoing sewers on land he owns in the zone on West Street to get sewer service at the planned condominiums. Republicans on the council supported the sewer extension. Democrats opposed it. While there are five Democrats on the council, only four were present during a meeting Monday, July 8, which resulted in several tie votes.

Work set to begin on playground next month By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
Construction could begin next month on a new playground for Veterans Memorial Park after the Town Council recently chose a builder.
The new playground equipment and construction will cost about $250,000. The Southington Rotary has pledged $100,000 and a grant from the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain provides an additional $50,000.
The council voted in favor of hiring Grasshopper Lawns Inc. of Naugatuck during its meeting on July 8. “I think it’s awesome that the Rotary is taking the lead on this project,” said Town Council vice chair Dawn Miceli.
Kate Sirignano, the club’s vocational service chair, said the group had raised more than half of the $100,000 already. “We’re super excited that progress is being made,” she said. “Everything See Playground, A2

“We think that people are really excited about the playground,” she said.

The council had initially earmarked $200,000 in its capital budget for a playground to replace the one at Memorial Park. The price went up after the project was put out to bid, Miceli said. Town crews may do some of the tree clearing and site work. While the current playground is in a wooded area, Miceli said the new playground will be between the pool and sports fields. “It will have a prominent spot adjacent to Woodruff

the sewer extension deal with Fragola. After repeated tie votes, the council unanimously voted to table the issue. Bryan Meccariello, a local attorney, represented Fragola and made the case for his sewer land swap during the meeting. He said sewers could be connected through the nearby Faith Baptist Church, which would also get sewer access.
The Knights of Columbus’ Catholic Citizen luncheon was held on Sunday, June 9 at the Aqua Turf’s Wagon Room, with over 120 people in attendance.

Democrats said they were worried about setting a precedent for other developers. Both Chris Palmieri, council chairman, and John Barry said it was premature to vote on the issue. While the town’s sewer com-
Meccariello countered that some property in the sewer service area can’t be developed, such as cemeteries and town-owned open space. In letters submitted by Meccariello, the attorney questioned whether Councilor Dawn Miceli was able to impartially rule on the sewer extension request because Fragola didn’t sell the Laning Street property to the town for open space and canceled his membership to the Southington Chamber of Commerce. Miceli is chair of the open space acquisition committee and chairs the chamber board. During the meeting, Miceli said the letter contained “slanderous and downright false” statements.
As open space chairwoman, she said it’s common to be rejected by landowners. “Unfortunately, we get shot down more than we get approvals,” Miceli said. She had asked Town Attorney Carolyn Futtner about any potential conflicts of interest. Futtner told her there were none. “I am a fair person,” Miceli said. She joined the other Democrats in opposing the sewer extension. “To me it seems pretty arbitrary just to say, ‘OK, now we’re going to allow something in the no-sewer zone,’” Miceli said. “I wasn’t willing to set a precedent in this case.” Republican council minority leader Victoria Triano disagreed, calling the sewer extension deal “very appropriate.” “Every case will be judged on its own merit. There’s no precedent setting,” Triano said.

In 2016, the developer withdrew plans to build 60 housing units on the 11-acre property. Meccariello said they now envision 31 standalone condominiums for residents 55 and older.
mittee voted 2 to 1 in favor of the swap, assistant town engineer Jim Grappone said expanding the sewer service area would further tax the wastewater treatment plant. The sewer service area map was approved by the council in 2016.

COMMENTARY
Back roads and lazy summer days One of the prettiest spots you’ll ever find is right on the bend in the road – Shuttle Meadow Road – where Crescent Lake and Bradley Mountain Farm are situated. The countryside here is a quintessential New England backroad “must see” and you’d be hard put to find a more interesting nearby journey or destination easily achieved on a lazy Sunday summer afternoon. It’s a great ride through the countryside to get there, you can approach from the Shuttle Meadow Reservoir side (N. Shuttle Street that skirts
the vast acreage of apple trees at Rogers Orchards) or come up Ledge Road – with some excellent views – from the Plainville side. Tucked away, at quite a good elevation, the whole setting is a little bit magical and beckons you to linger – you have to slow down on this corner anyway, it’s close to a hairpin turn. Why not pack a picnic and make a day of it?
Last week, The Southington Citizen carried a feature about the goat farm at the Bradley homestead and this place really is worth a visit. Sundays is open farm day and you’re welcome to stop by and visit with the goats, for no charge, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For 50 cents you can buy grain to feed the friendly herd. It’s a perfect place to take the kids, highly entertaining and no computer screens anywhere in sight. The shop offers many unusual goat-related items or products (goat milk soap is a specialty.) Of course there are many other fun and unique programs at the farm (for a fee) – and there’s not

Plus, the old Bradley place is beautiful and it’s complemented by another equally lovely farm spread across the road (a private residence) – altogether creating a harmonious setting of pastures and fences and rural vistas that are getting rarer by the day.
If a few daycations are part of your plan this summer or if the kids are getting a little antsy, pack the fishing poles, the cooler and camera and head out to this local collection of gems that preserves a way of life that you just might call the good old summertime.
But that’s not all. Right by the farms is Crescent Lake, (a 56 acre lake and 223 acre park), where you can enjoy the outdoors with some passive recreation, just hanging out and watching the kayaks and canoes or you can get active. There’s a variety of trails around the lake and through the woods, plenty of fishing

Readers’ Opinions Palmieri excels Editor : In my lifetime I have seen many persons, personality, ambition, fortitude, dedication and commitments. I applaud the people that are able to recognize their ability to take on the challenges that they are inter-
ested in and perform their duties with integrity and honesty in which Chris Palmieri is one. I recently read the editorial concerning our Town Council Chairman, Chris Palmieri. As it was noted there could not be a more qualified person to take the helm as principal
of DePaolo Middle School than Chris. In my opinion he excels in his interest and can only be recognized for wanting to make sure we are going about things correctly. The amount of work or activities that a person can do is up to the individual and in politics it See Letter, A11

Champions crowned at Wayton Open Southington tennis tournament completes 12th year By Mike Logan Special to the Record-Journal
The 12th Annual Wayton Tennis Open had its championship matches Sunday morning at Southington High School under the sweltering sun. And the competition did not disappoint. Dylan Avena and two-time singles champion Eric Henne had to battle the heat as they competed for the title in the A-Division. The match went five sets, lasting four hours, long after the women’s singles championship and men’s B singles championship concluded. After Avena shot off to a quick two-set lead, Henne came back to even the match. Heading into the fifth set, all
eyes were on this fierce competition. Avena, who plays club tennis for Central Connecticut State University, had to focus on the basics to win the championship in the fifth set. Set scores were 6-2, 6-4, 1-6, 6-7(4) and 6-2. “I was fatigued. I was really angry. I try not to show it because that is not who I am,” Avena said of dealing with the heat. “I like to be as internal as possible. But I think I was down love-40 in the first game of the fifth set and I just told myself to hit the ball. I just tried to shut down whatever else I was thinking. I was just like, if I lose it hitting hard, then I lose it. But it turned around and went my way. I was happy with that.” Varsha Rathore captured the women’s singles championship and shortly after, she teamed up with her dad to win the mixed doubles championship in the A-division.
I think I played better in the mixed doubles because in the singles I was hitting unforced errors, one after the other.” Rathore, who played in the Wayton Open for the third time, said she didn’t let the 90-degree heat fatigue her because of a lesson she learned from a previous appearance in the Wayton Open. Following three matches in a United States Tennis Association tournament, Rathore said she got crushed in the mixed doubles B-division at the Wayton Open shortly after.
From left, Thank Dog Rescue’s Debbie Mass, Wayton Open founder/director Matt Wayton, Thank Dog Rescue’s Danielle Boccher and Joanna Wayton pose Sunday at Southington High School during the Wayton Open. Thank Dog Rescue is the main beneficiary of the community tennis tournament. This year, Thank Dog Rescue received a check for $2,200.
Rathore, who is 17-years old, said that after she won the singles championship, her only focus was on mixed doubles.
Rathore said she never wanted that to happen again. So, she has learned to conserve energy and build up her endurance by running cross country. The results on Sunday, confirmed that those adjustments have made her a better tennis
“After the first win, I kind of just reset and didn’t think about the first win,” Rathore said. “It’s a new match with new people and a new style.

player. While the competition is all fun and good, helping dogs at Thank Dog Rescue is what it is all about, especially for Rathore. “I think it’s a really nice cause that Matt (Wayton) decided to donate toward,” Rathore said. “When we
were taking our picture with one of the dogs, we found out that the dog had surgery that our money went towards. That was a good feeling to know that you helped out another life.” Wayton, who adopted his dog Daisy through Thank Dog Rescue, said that assembling the tournament for a good cause is what helps him stay motivated each year. “Giving the money to the

dogs and trying to raise money for them, is a big motivator for me,” Wayton said. “Sometimes you can get burnt out after running something like this, especially after 12 years, but that keeps me going every year.” In fact, Wayton helped another dog during the Open. One of the onlookers brought his poodle, but it did not appear to have been groomed in the past 8-12 months, said Wayton. So,
Wayton called a local dog groomer in order to pamper the poodle. The dog lover paid for the haircut with his own funds, no questions asked. Wayton was able to give Debbie Maas and Danielle Boccher from Thank Dog Rescue a check for $2,200. However, Rathore’s younger sister, Lavanya, created a concession stand at the Wayton Open and she was able to donate an extra $185

Over 210,000 votes were cast, and over 500 businesses have earned the right to call themselves the Best of the Best and be celebrated at an exclusive first-class gala all for them.
