Conversations with Town Manager Garry Brumback By E. Richard Fortunato Special to the Citizen The following is the second of a series of conversations between E. Richard Fortunato and Town Manager Garry Brumback, discussing different issues around town. In this interview, Brumback discusses the status of Southington’s infrastructure.
Fortunato: Garry, what is the current status of our infrastructure and what progress have we made in the past year? As we face the challenges ahead, where can we expect to go? Brumback: I think there are no limits. Our infrastructure has been maintained on

School bus is no match for Giving Back Girls By Julie Sopchak The Southington Citizen
They collected piles and piles of school supplies, but as the name would suggest, the Giving Back Girls are going to give all those supplies to those who need them.
The Smart Start Program, initiated by Southington Community Services, is put in control of a student until that student becomes a senior in high school, at which point it will be transferred to another student. Erin Gibney, being given the program
last year and now coordinating the event with her group, the Giving Back Girls, gave the program a new look as “Fill That Bus,” a challenge to fill a school bus with school supplies.

has been since its inception, and there’s a lot of pride in that. Having said that, I believe in making things happen strategically. The media is but one tool in our effort to get the word out. It’s really about “elbow grease” and sheer willingness to do whatever it takes. I’m going to take a page out of his playbook by reaching out and asking for the opportunity to talk to service clubs and any organization that will have me, along with asking members of the Town Council and the Board of Finance to do the same thing, not to advocate for any particular program but to educate the residents on the value of investing in order to preserve. We’re going to ask the media to support that but they’re not the sole method by which we’re going to do it. Fortunato: I’m trying to wrap my mind around the facts of the situation and your thought process in order to beneficially inform our readers, to enhance their perception of balancing the reality of our needs against the paucity of funds, avoidance of higher taxes and the natural resistance to spending to improve and protect what we have because it costs money. Doing whatever is right will

a bare bones basis for many years, if not decades. There are some glaring gaps in our facilities and infrastructure. Some buildings, as well as our roads and sewer system, are in need of significant upgrading. We’ve tried to do the best we could with extremely limited resources which were not enough to do the job adequately. My guess is that probably 20 to 25 years ago we had a road network, sewer system, and town facilities that were as good as any in the region and better than most, but within recent years, we have not maintained the necessary investment to preserve what we had; in fact, we’ve lost ground. We’ve got a road structure which, while it is not horrible, is not what it should be. We’ve now got a choice to make an investment in our facilities, roads and sewer system to spend a few million dollars now, restoring or preventively maintaining it, or to spend a much more significant amount in millions in the next decade replacing it. The Town Council seems to support [the former], as does the Board of Finance. But the next step, which is critical, is for the
Town Council, the Board of Finance, and the administration to collaboratively engage the public in this situation so that they understand it and we get their support. Fortunato: Do you feel you’ve made the turn in infrastructural needs? Brumback: We have, in identifying the needs. The referendum this fall will determine whether we’ve made the turn financially. Fortunato: So it’s ultimately up to the people. Brumback: Yes. It’s up to the people, those who are going to have to pay the bill, as it should be. We’ve studied the situation carefully and in great detail. It’s now our responsibility to get the message out to our citizens as to the specific needs we’ve identified and the associated costs so that they can make an informed, responsible decision. Fortunato: Given the significance of the critical decisions to be made by the voters regarding our town’s future, would you consider providing a program to educate the citizenry? Brumback: It’s not something we’ve considered and I don’t believe the Town Council or Board of Finance are prepared to consider at this point, for cost reasons. This organization is a Spartan and

Town Clerks’Association protects election process By E. Richard Fortunato Special to the Citizen
Election Day may be a oneday duty for voters, but preparing for that second Tuesday of November is a huge task for the Liaison Committee on Elections of the Town Clerks’ Association of Connecticut, which take preparation for each year’s elections, primaries, yearround registrations and compliance with state statutes very seriously. The Liaison Committee on Elections, a group of town clerks from across the state, meets periodically to coordinate their collective efforts to ensure that election processes go smoothly and that results are accurate and operating under strictly secure

Southington Knights of Columbus to revive youth organization By Farrah Duffany Special to the Citizen
The local Knights of Columbus plan to reintroduce a youth organization that has been dormant for more than 40 years. The Columbian Squires program, coming this fall, will teach Catholic boys leadership and team-building skills, and how to model their lives after Jesus Christ. The Squires organization, for boys 10 to 18, will be sponsored by Isabella Council 15, the Southington unit of the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic fraternal benefits organization. Dan Valente, a member of the
Knights for the past five years, said he has been working with other members to launch the program in the fall. “They had a Squires group back in the mid- to late-’70s and it fell apart,” Valente said. “Our leadership has been talking in the last year about something to help the youth and specifically helping young men because of broken homes — it would be a good program.” The Columbian Squires program started in 1925 in Minnesota and is a part of more than 1,500 Knights of Columbus circles around the world, with about 25,000 members. The Southington youth organization will be

named the Father Matthew Hunt Circle 2603, in honor of the Rev. Matthew Hunt, the priest who brought the Knights of Columbus to Southington in 1885. Valente said in the early stages of the program the adults will guide the youth, and then they will be expected to make their own agenda and pick their own officers. Valente said he wants the members of the program to enjoy fun activities to bond and make friends in the community. He said hiking, rock climbing, canoeing and a ropes course are among the team-building activities planned. Photo courtesy of Barbara Pasha

call for deeper thought and probably involves cultural change and courage. Brumback: You’re right. Our message requires background, conversation and understanding that cannot be reduced to a sound bite, a word, or a phrase. The best example is what we’re talking about right now, the business case for investing in the infrastructure is my responsibility, and communicating that to the people who are going to make the decision whether to finance. I will do that to the best of my ability in conjunction with the elected officials. If we turn to the
world of business, it’s like the head of an organization, responsible for its products or services, going before the shareholders and saying, “By investing money now, it will return on your investment.” But, our citizens, my shareholders, are not going to make a profit on it. I am going to have to make the case for cost avoidance, a much tougher case than a profit, “If you spend $5 million now, you’ll avoid $10 million later.” Future editions of this series will explore the progress in several other areas of challenge as we continue our conversations with the town manager, including updates on North Center School and other projects.

During the Lenten season this year, St. Dominic Parish parishioners were presented the opportunity to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity on June 9. Thirty-one parishioners worked that day, putting up sheet rock, painting and doing other finish work to homes on South Marshall St. in Hartford. Twenty parishioners also made food for snacks and lunch to feed workers and crew leaders. The St. Dominic School fifth-grade class wanted to get involved, so the students decided to bake cookies for the crew and make thank you cards for those who volunteered to work at Habitat that day.

“This year we’re trying to do it mainly on donations, so we came up with this idea to ‘fill that bus,’” Tricia Gibney said.

She said the “Fill That Bus” initiative will be an annual event for them to get supplies donated. “If you can give somebody

a backpack where they don’t have to shop for school supplies when they’re in need, it just takes a lot of weight off their shoulders because you know they’re helping them,” she said. “You know you’re saving them a lot of money if they are in need.” Janet Mellon, director of Southington Community Services, said the Giving Back Girls are the third group to operate the Smart Start Program, and she loved the idea. “Every time we get another group it’s amazing,” Mellon said. “I thought it was brilliant.” And so it was parked, a giant, yellow embodiment of the girls’ efforts, a school bus donated by New Britain Transportation, right in front of the Southington WalMart on Queen Street on Sunday afternoon. For three hours, the girls stood outside with a table
and a shopping cart, collecting supplies from shoppers and dumping the items in the bus when the cart got filled up. They even got a visit from the Southington Fire Department, and three fire trucks of firefighters swarmed the store for supplies to donate. Town Councilor Cheryl Lounsbury came out to commend the girls on their efforts, telling them they are “what makes our town, our town.” “I think it’s magnificent,” Lounsbury said. “I think that Southington is a wonderful town and it’s because all of our citizens give back, and it starts with our youth.” Gibney, 13, said she started the program in 2010 when she was in sixth-grade.

Letters to the Editor
Animal fundraiser success
To the editor: Thank you to all the people who attended the Yappy Hour fundraiser for Southington Animal Rescue. Your continued support has helped us rescue over 60 Southington animals in the past year alone and find them forever homes. A special thank you to Smokin’ With Chris for hosting the
fun event and his great bar staff for the delicious Chocolate Lab Martinis. Southington Animal Rescue is a small network of volunteers who rely solely on private donations. Too many Southington animals are being abandoned in town and too many stray/feral cats continue to have kittens outside. Low cost spay/neuter clinics are available and if you know of feral cats having kittens, call a rescue group who can help get them trapped and
neutered to stop this terrible cycle. Some say the measure of a community is in how it cares for those who can’t care for themselves. These are all of our animals – born, lost or abandoned in Southington and your continued support is greatly appreciated. Thank you Southington. Cindy Mulhearn Southington

Zip Continued from page 7 est friends,” said one member who wanted to remain anonymous. “We can talk about our innermost thoughts, knowing that our confidence will never be broken,” said another. Recently, member Michelle Pestillo, who works at Zip Line, suggested the group consider bringing its common purpose to a new and, literally, more lofty new venue. Members made their way to Zip Line in Newington, which for the uninitiated, offers programs that build confidence and trust thereby empowering participants to dare to bring out the best that is in them, individually and as a team. The park is equipped with physical and mental obstacles that individuals are required to work together to overcome. Imagine a group of women, many mothers and some grandmothers climbing poles and going up into trees, about 20 feet high, or getting
themselves over a 15-foot barrier using their bodies and each other to achieve the goal of getting every one of them over the wall. As you would expect, Zip Line activities are accomplished with special rules and equipment, such as harnesses, ropes, carabiners and many other safety features. “Yes, we did pray together before we started our zip line,” Sheard said. “You find out how much more you can do than you think you can. I believe it happens with confidence in your team and trust in God.” “It was an exhilarating experience, entirely different and out of the ordinary for a Bible group,” said Tony Escott. “It was an opportunity to be together, testing ourselves. It was a real physical challenge, but clearly there was a moving, spiritual aspect to it that was rewarding.” Members left with a new experience under their harnesses, one which seemed to say: “We took the zip line to Heaven.”

Knights Continued from page 6
“I’m looking forward to having a youth group that is going to be not only a fun thing to do, but it will develop leadership skills and will help grow faith,” Valente said. “This year, my goal is to build the Squires up.” Kylle Ayers, a member of Isabella Council 15 for the past year, has been working with Valente to organize the program, and he’s excited to see the plans finally coming to fruition. “It gives an opportunity for young men to have involvement in a community and faith-based program with other young men, male role models, and in many cases, their fathers or grandfathers,” Ayers said. Dennis Kelly, the grand knight of Isabella Council 15, has also been helping Valente and Ayers get the pro-
gram started. Kelly said a lot of the Knights are getting older and the youth organization is a great opportunity to bring in some potential young members. “We went to a state convention and they mentioned the Squires,” Kelly said. “I’ve worked with the youth for years, so I thought this is a good idea.” Kelly said he has worked with Anthony DeCaprio, the head of the Columbian Squires organization in Connecticut, who helped with the process of starting a circle. Kelly said DeCaprio offered a lot of advice and ideas for the program. “It’s a growing organization,” Kelly said. “I think in our society there aren’t a lot of opportunities for this.” More information about the organization is available at the Southington K of C website, http://kofcsouthington.glimmerpoint.net.

Homeopathic Gel Erases Arthritis Pain NRI Inc. has been awarded a U.S patent (#7,229,648B2), along with several international Patents for PAINMED a unique homeopathic pain gel. Consider a medical miracle by many; PAINMED goes transdermally into the skin, right to the source of the pain, unlike other topical products that use capsaicin or other skin irritants that only mask pain. PAINMED has been so successful for Arthritis sufferers that several new clinical trials are under way to also show the possible benefits for sports injury, bursitis, tendonitis and a host of other pain ailments. This clear odorless gel has no smell and will not cause skin reddening or annoying irritation. Dr. Richard Goldfarb MD, FACS a Board Certified Vascular Surgeon, states “We have further research to do, but I believe this product can bring immediate relief to millions of Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis sufferers”. Dr. Goldfarb also states” I was sold on the product after reviewing the patents and seeing the immediate relief it brought to my clinical patients.” Until recently PAINMED has only been available through professional practitioners or online. PAINMED is available in a convenient tube application without a prescription.

Zone champs turn attention to state tournament By Nick Carroll The Southington Citizen
For the second straight year, the Southington Post 72 Junior American Legion baseball team is champion of Zone 1. The locals wrapped up the 2012 zone title July 19 with a 9-2 victory over Simsbury, the club they had been tied with in the standings. “It’s nice for them winning back-to-back state titles. It’s a feather in their cap,” said Post 72 coach John Susi. “Outside of the two returning players we have, the young guys really came through. It says something about Southington baseball that we can compete at this level every year.” “You’re not sure at the start of every year how it’s going to go,” the second-year coach added. “You think you have enough talent to do it, but you just don’t know if you can actually come through. And this team showed up and did it. That’s
With a record of 11-6, the Southington Post 72 Junior American Legion baseball team secured its second straight Zone 1 championship this summer. impressive.” Post 72 closed out the regular season by winning five of six games to finish 11-6. “You have your moments where you play like 15-, 16-
year-old kids, and you struggle and bumble through,” Susi said. “But we got on a little roll. They focused and concentrated and played a lot better baseball.”
By winning the zone championship, Southington punched its ticket to the upcoming state tournament. Post 72, the only Zone 1 team to qualify this year, will play
Ironboy Tyler Grabowski of Plantsville competed in The New England Kids Triathlon July 23 on the campus of MIT in Boston, and finished third out of 27 competitors in the 7-year-old division. The triathlon consisted of a 100-meter swim, a three-mile bike ride and a half-mile run. Grabowski placed first in the riding section. The triathlon was sponsored in part by the New England Patriots/NFL Play 60 Movement. Patriot punter Zoltan Mesko participated in the celebrity triathlon.
Sunday, July 29 in the round of 16. The quarterfinals are slated for Wednesday, Aug 1. “Anything can happen in a single-elimination tournament,” said Susi. “You have to get some luck and some quality play, roll it all into one and get on that magic carpet.” In 2011, Post 72 was knocked out of the state tournament in the Elite 8. No matter how his troops fare this time around, Susi will chalk the summer up as a success. “The immediate goals we had set were, obviously, to qualify for the state tournament. Our second goal was to win the zone championship, which we did,” he said. “Winning the state championship is a goal, but it would probably be the third on the list. That would just be the cherry on top of the cake.” Post 72 trailed Simsbury last week before surging

Two titles for Southington Legion This season was a good one all around for the Southington Post 72 American Legion baseball program. As did its Junior brethren, the Southington Senior club finished atop Zone 1. The Post 72 Seniors rolled up a record of 21-6 in the zone and will face Stamford in the state tournament’s round of 16, Saturday, July 28, 6:30 p.m. in Stamford. In 2011, the Post 72 Seniors advanced to the quarterfinals of the state tournament after failing to even qualify for the event six years in a row.

Also, the number of spectators has greatly increased over the years, and sponsorship donations have flooded in. “The community support was amazing,” said Wayton. “So many friends and family members and spectators came out to watch the action over the weekend. Every fence was lined with people watching. It was unbelievable.” Down the road, Wayton envisions the Open becom-

The Wayton Open tennis tournament kicked off last week with the biggest field yet in the event’s six-year history. Nearly 170 participants in four divisions – men’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s singles, women’s doubles – took the court on the campus of Southington High School. The tournament’s founder and namesake, Matthew Wayton, is thrilled with the turnout. “The men’s singles alone had 95 entries, and the depth of the field was amazing,” said Wayton. “There were so many good players there; early-round matches were much more difficult for the veterans this year.”

Clerks Continued from page 4 moderators and town clerks in the scrupulously checked and balanced vote count with the number of voters who signed in at the polls and absentee ballots counted on election day. In multi-districted towns like Southington sealed bags of ballots and tabulator tapes are checked at each polling place by election officials and brought to a central election headquarters in town by a designated member of each political party where verification procedures and forms are com-
pleted before being delivered by election officials to the Secretary of State’s office. Mullady pointed out that town clerks offices are also responsible for qualifying the signatures on candidates’ petitions and that voter registrations are on a central system to which town clerks have access to corroborate qualification of voters in a town. With the exception of the rare discrepancies in voting procedures, such as last year’s reports of voter fraud in Bridgeport, the closely monitored procedures appear to maintain the essentially secure election results citizens expect and deserve.
Bus Continued from page 16 the girls also hold bake sales around town. It started out with a few friends from elementary school, until Gibney said she started to branch out and ask other girls to participate, to where they are now with about 15 girls total in the group. Madison Yurgaitis said she started organizing supplies with the Gibney and the other girls and then became serious about the group. “The reactions to people’s faces when they get the
backpacks and the kids who really need it,” Yurgaitis said about what she likes most about giving back. “It makes you know you’re doing something good.” Marissa Matarazzo has
been with the group since it began, and her brother, Anthony, was there on Sunday to help the girls organize the piles of supplies. “I like how we help people,” she said.
Summer Girl Scout program Girls entering kindergarten through first-grade who are new to Girl Scouts are invited to the Girl Scout Summer Program. Girls, along with parents and guardians, will have an opportunity to meet new friends and learn about scouting. The remaining week of the four-week session will take place on Tuesday, July 31, from 6 to 7 p.m. For more information, location, and to register, contact Melissa Ingrisano at mingrisano@gsofct.org, or (203) 239-2922, ext. 3366.

As Arthur fights to keep a flicker of civilization alive in a barbaric world, Bernard Cornwell continues to make a familiar tale into a legend all over again with Enemy of God and Excalibur. Aug. 20: Five Little Pigs — Based on an Agatha Christie novel, using the idea of a nursery rhyme, Christie has Hercule Poirot embark on revealing the truth about a murder that was committed 16 years earlier. Take one dead lothario; add his jealous wife accused of his murder; toss in a devoted daughter who wants to clear her mother’s name, and get one of the greatest chall e n g e s of Hercule Poirot’s career.
