Kiwanis flea market coming back to Constitution Square By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Constitution Square is about to come alive again this year as the Newington Kiwanis’ popular Big K Flea Market and Craft Fair opens Sunday, Aug. 25. The weekly event has two runs per year. Visitors had the opportunity to enjoy it in the springtime, then starting this Sunday, they Volume 53, No. 33

will be at it again until the last Sunday of October. On average, each week brings about 60 vendors from across New England, selling both new and recycled household goods and crafts, clothing and tools. “I enjoy talking to the repeat vendors — the regulars — I also like to see our regular shoppers, people who come back every week loyally,” said Kiwanis Vice President Bill Hall, who notices a lot of market visitors come from out-of-town and hopes to run into more Newington folks this year, especially since they are the

Town woman’s efforts lead to new absentee ballot law By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
One Newington resident’s tireless efforts have made it much easier for the state’s disabled citizens to exercise their right to vote, and their first chance to try out the new system is fast approaching.
Dolores Carron is to thank for the passing of Public Act 12-57, “An Act Concerning Permanent Absentee Ballot Status for the Permanently Disabled” which became effective Jan. 1, 2013. This new law allows any chronically-disabled individual to gain permanent

New Senior and Disabled Center roof expected by winter By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
If all goes as planned, the Newington Senior & Disabled Center will have a new roof and heated canopy walkway by this winter. The Town Council voted 9-0 at its last meeting to approve the final building plans and total $805,000 cost estimate recommended by the Senior and Disabled Center Roof Replacement Project Building Committee. This action authorized Town Manager John Salomone to put the project out to bid so a contractor may be selected by Sept. 3 and begin construction before the end of next month. “The committee is anxious to move forward based on the project deadline,” said Salomone, who in taking into account that their second August meeting was can-
celled, asked councilors to waive the rules for action last week to prevent further delay. Given the roof ’s current condition, he advised councilors it wouldn’t be best to put the project off till next spring.
...project plans include the addition of a porte-cochère “It would be very helpful to get the contractor working by Sept. 30 and get the roof rebuilt before the bad weather sets in,” added Councilor Clarke Castelle, committee chairperson. Besides a new roof, project plans include the addition of a portecochère, French for coach-door. This element would serve as a canopy for the center’s main entrance.
Several years ago members and town residents began a fundraiser to build it. They raised nearly $15,000, but it wasn’t enough to move the project forward. Now that fund will be added to the $790,500 in Capitol Improvements that is designated to the project, bringing its total cost to $805,000. The canopy would be supported by Tuscan-style columns and a heated walkway, curb cuts and a handrail will reduce the number and severity of slips and falls. DialA-Ride vans will also be able to drive underneath the canopy so seniors can easily enter and exit the center. “I’m very pleased with the plans and we are all looking forward to have this done,” said Senior Center Director Dianne Stone, who attended the council’s recent meeting. Councilor Myra Cohen called
the design “very attractive and extremely safe.” When Councilor Jay Bottalico questioned the need for a handrail out of concern for its impact to the project budget, Cohen assured him
it was absolutely necessary. “I don’t think there is a thing here that can be questioned,” she said. “This is terrific and I think everyone will be pleased.”

Interest rates may vary and offer can be withdrawn at any time. Rate subject to change at any time in 2013. Personal accounts and business accounts with banking relationships only. **The introductory APR (Annual Percentage Rate) of 1.99% is fixed and will apply during the 6 billing cycles after your Pure Excitement ELOC is opened. After the introductory APR expires, the APR will convert to the current variable rate which will then float during the life of the loan. There is a 3.25% floor on this product. The converted APR is based on Prime as found in the Money Rate section of the Wall Street Journal and is a floating rate for the life of the loan. As of 07/17/13, Prime is 3.25% APR. The minimum APR can be no lower than the 3.25% floor and the maximum APR is 18%. Apart from the maximum and minimum, there is no limit on the amount by which the rate can change during any one-year period. The introductory rate is available for new HELOC customers only. The HELOC must be secured by owner occupied 1-4 family, condominiums and 2nd/vacation homes with a loan-to-value of 80% or less. The minimum line is $15,000. The maximum line is $250,000. The maximum APR that can apply is 18% and the minimum APR can be no lower than the 3.25% floor. Two conversion rate options - The conversion rate of Prime less .50% requires Direct Deposit to a Berkshire Bank checking account and an initial draw of $15,000 at the end of the rescission period or day of recording. If this conversion happened today, the variable rate would be 3.25% APR because of the floor. If it happened when Prime was higher, e.g. 5.00% then the floating rate would be Prime less .50% or 4.50 APR%. If you choose not to have Direct Deposit and not to draw $15,000 initially, your conversion rate will increase to a rate of Prime and will continue to float throughout the life of the loan. If this conversion happened today, the variable rate would be 3.25% APR because of the floor. If it happened when Prime was higher, e.g. 5.00% then the floating rate would be Prime or 5.00% APR. Fees - An Annual Fee of $50 will be assessed. A $15 service fee will be assessed for advances less than $250. If the line of credit is paid off and closed during the first 36 months, an early termination fee of $500 will be assessed. The New York State mortgage tax previously paid will be recovered. Berkshire Bank pays the New York State Mortgage Tax for lines up to $250,000; over this amount the customer pays the portion of the New York State Mortgage Tax that exceeds on lines that exceed $250,000 at closing. Loan approval is subject to underwriting criteria and subject to credit approval. Other restrictions may apply. Homeowners insurance required. Flood insurance may be required. Offer subject to change without notice and available for new customers only. ***The minimum balance to open an account and attain the stated Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is $1,000. Future increases in rates are determined by Berkshire Bank’s review of market conditions. APY is accurate as of 8/07/13. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal. Fees may reduce earnings. This offer may be withdrawn at any time.

USDA income eligibility guidelines for free/reduced price lunch and milk
School districts across Connecticut have announced their policy for determining eligibility of children who may receive free or reduced price meals served under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs or free milk served under the Special Milk Program. Eligibility is based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Income Eligibility Guidelines based on family size and income criteria (see graph). Application forms are being sent to all homes with a letter to parents. Interested parents should fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office at each school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only to determine eligibility and for administration and enforcement of the lunch and breakfast programs. Note that each school district may
share eligibility information with education, health and nutrition programs to help them evaluate, fund or determine benefits for their programs, auditors for program reviews and law enforcement officials to help them look into violations of program rules. The application information may also be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. Application forms for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Temporary Family Assistance households require the name of the person in the household receiving the SNAP or TFA benefits and his or her case number. The signature of an adult household member is also required. Those households receiving assistance under the SNAP/TFA programs will be notified of their eligibility and their children will be provided free benefits unless the

household notifies the school that it chooses to decline benefits. Households receiving SNAP benefits or TFA for their children should only submit an application if they are not notified of their eligibility by Monday, Sept. 30. Households receiving SNAP benefits or TFA for their children will no longer receive a direct certification letter from the state Department of Social Services. Therefore, direct certification will be determined at the school level based on information sent from DSS to the school.

Application forms for all other households require a statement of total household income, household size and names of all household members. The last four digits of the Social Security number of an adult household member must be included or a statement that the household member does not have one. The adult household member must also sign the application certifying that the information provided is correct. Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court, are eligible for free meals. A foster parent does not have to complete a free/reduced meal application if they can submit a copy of the legal document or legal court order showing that the child is a foster child.

Additionally, a foster child is categorically eligible for free meals and may be included as a member of the foster family if the foster family chooses to also apply for benefits. If the foster family is not eligible for free or reduced price meal benefits, it does not prevent a foster child from receiving free meal benefits. A foster child’s free eligibility does not automatically extend to all students in the household. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the determining official, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. Parents may also make a formal appeal in writing (contacts vary by school district). Every school, and the central office of the school district, has a copy of the policy which may be reviewed by an interested party. If a household member becomes unemployed, or if household size changes at any time, the family should contact the school to file a new application. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for reduced price meals, free meals, or free milk, if the family income falls at or below the levels shown in the graph.

The inequality of summer vacations By MATTHEW YGLESIAS SLATE.
WASHINGTON — There are few more cherished nostrums in American life than the importance of equal opportunities. Unfortunately, one of them is the importance of summer vacation. It’s a cheap way of doing

something nice for teachers, but summer vacation is a disaster for poor children and their parents, creating massive avoidable inequities in life outcomes and seriously undereducating the population. The country claims to take schooling seriously, but the school calendar says otherwise.

There’s no other public service that we would allow to just vanish for months at a time. To have no Army in February, no buses or subways in March, airports closed down for all of October, or the police vacationing en masse in December would be absurd. Schools, it turns out, matter a lot, too, and having them shut down all summer critically undermines them. A 2011 RAND literature review concluded that the average student “loses” about one

month’s worth of schooling during a typical summer vacation, with the impact disproportionately concentrated among low-income students. Most distressingly, the impact is cumulative. Poor kids tend to start school behind their middle-class peers, and then they fall further behind each and every summer, giving teachers and principals essentially no chance of closing the gap during the school year.

Program offers financial advice for low-income seniors citizens
to go forward, such as ways to save money and cut back expenses. Finally they will be presented with a concrete plan to achieve greater financial security. The NCOA will use results to understand what services and programs older adults are in need of and also to improve the tool itself. The town will not have to contribute any funding or additional resources to this project, which was made possible by support from the Retirement Research Foundation. The NCOA will provide $1000 grant to facilitate activities and train volunteers to screen seniors. The center will also have access to a network of peer providers online and a library of resources. The Town Council is expected to give senior center staff permission to begin the project at their next meeting in September.

Residents over the age of 55 and living with little income have an opportunity to evaluate their financial situations and learn how to make improvements. Newington’s Senior & Disabled Center was one of three centers across the nation selected recently to participate in the National Council on Aging’s EconomicCheckup program. Center Director Dianne Stone introduced the program to town councilors at their last meeting. “We were one of a very small group invited to apply for this,” she said. Interestingly enough, one of the other two senior centers selected is located in Groton. The third is in Maryland. At minimum, 100 low-income Newington senior citizens will participate. Each will be screened and will complete a questionnaire to evaluate their economic hardship. Afterward Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 225-4601, they will receive customized recommendations ext. 210, or eschmitt@newbritainherald.com.
The town will not have to contribute any funding or additional resources to this project, which was made possible by support from the Retirement Research Foundation.

main beneficiaries of the club’s donations. All vendor fees and admission collected — usually totaling upward of $20,000 — is donated to local charitable civic and educational efforts. Most are Newington-based, including like Newington’s Student Assistance Fund, Newington’s Memorial Day Parade and Newington’s NCTV Community Cable Channel. The Salvation Army in New Britain is one of just a few recipients outside of Newington. “Many dedicated Kiwanis members gain satisfaction from working shifts in behalf of these and other worthy Newington goals,” said Current Program Chair Al Cohen, who has been a Kiwanis member since the mid-’80s. He remembers when Vincent Bellantuono organized the very first market in 1992. Up until about seven years ago it was located on the Berlin Turnpike at the old Hartford Drive-In. Currently, the shops and restaurants around Market and Constitution Squares can benefit from upward of 1,000 visitors on

they are asked to select a mayor, town councilors, Board of Education members and other town officials. Because that day is fast approaching, Carron wants to make sure people know about the opportunity before it’s too late. “The more we can get the word out about this it will certainly be beneficial to a lot of people,” said Carron, who has Primary Lateral Sclerosis, a rare progressive neuromuscular disorder. It was a letter she wrote back in 2006 that got the wheels rolling in state government, garnering the attention of state Rep. Sandy Nafis, D-Newington. Through the pair’s collaboration, the law finally passed last year. Not only has Carron’s particular condition confined her to a wheelchair for the last three years, but she also has a lot of trouble using her writing hand. “Even way back when — when I was able to write — on principle, I felt the policy was discriminatory,” she explained. “For me to get an absentee ballot, I had to fill out a rather lengthy application for each and every referendum, primary and election. The people who go to the polls don’t have to re-apply every time.” Now, along with other voters who

suffer from chronic disabilities, this will be the last time she will ever have to fill out an absentee ballot application. It’s a doctor’s note confirming her disability that will put her on the permanent list, and she will be automatically mailed an absentee ballot any time there is a referendum, primary or election of any kind. The new law was announced at a press conference late January, hosted by Secretary of State Denise Merill, who called it “a very compassionate and common sense change.” She also stressed that the new option should not discourage disabled voters from going to polling stations if they are able and wish to do so, as every location is required by law to be handicapped-accessible. As of earlier this week, the Newington Town Clerk’s office confirmed that less than a half dozen residents had applied for permanent status so far, but the volume is expected to pick up as the election approaches. Those who want to take advantage of this new opportunity must file an application with the town clerk at least 21 days before the primary, or 31 days before the election. Their application must be accompanied by a doctor’s certificate — on letterhead — verifying they have a permanent disability and are unable to go to their polling place in person. Their permanent status will be renewed in January of each year, as long as they respond to a written notice from the registrars of voters verifying they still live at the address listed previously. Absentee ballot applications are available through the Newington town clerk’s office, located in Town Hall, 131 Cedar St. (860) 665-8545. Applications can also be downloaded at www.sots.ct.gov. Completed applications and doctors’ notes should be presented, mailed or faxed to the town clerk.

Please note: while there is no cost to audition, if cast, there is a $250 participation fee. Based on the popular 1998 movie of the same name, “The Wedding Singer” takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. It’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.

VJ Day ceremony honors fallen veterans
STAFF REPORT
Veterans, their families, area residents and city officials took the time Saturday to honor the sacrifice of America’s fighting men and women. In honor of the Japanese surrender to the Allies on Aug. 14, 1945, the Iwo Jima Memorial Historical Foundation, Inc. held its fifth Annual VJ Day Candlelight Ceremony of Remembrance. The ceremony, which began at Newington Memorial Funeral Home, featured a procession to the National Iwo Jima Memorial on the New Britain-Newington town line. The public was invited to participate in the event and honor a deceased loved one who served in the U. S. Armed Forces by calling their name and ringing a bell. Attendants were asked to bring photos of veterans and place them on the “Wall of Honor.” Among those remembered were the 100 Connecticut serLisa Backus | Staff vicemen who were killed in A Marine Honor Guard flanked by members of the Connecticut Patriot Guard and the Marine action during the World War Corps League Hardware City, Southington and Middlesex County detachments during the fifth II Battle of Iwo Jima. annual VJ Day Candlelight Ceremony of Remembrance Saturday at the Iwo Jima Memorial.

P&Z appointment’s rejection is purely political; doesn’t help the town To the Editor,
At a recent Town Council meeting, the Democratic majority chose to block the appointment of Republican Dominic Pane to the Town Plan and Zoning Board. The only reason cited by Councilor Cohen was that she didn’t feel he was qualified. Councilor Castelle vaguely referred to minutes from 2009. How do you base a decision on minutes from a meeting that happened four years ago for which you have no context? The other three Democratic councilors summarily voted “no” without citing any reasons. The truth is that Mr. Pane was good enough and qualified enough to not only serve on the TPZ, but to be chairman when he was a Democrat. Since he has changed parties, he is now not qualified? Sounds like retaliation and political games to me. The truth is he is highly qualified and has served the town for many years on numerous Boards and Commissions. He knows the TPZ regulations inside and out and has proven this throughout the years. For Mr. Pane to be summarily dismissed without any adequate reason given is shameful. The truth is this is yet another political move by the Democratic majority trying to flex their power because they can, not because it makes sense for our community. Serving in the minority is always frustrating, but when adequate reasons are not given and decisions are made for what are obviously political reasons it is just ridiculous. Jay Bottalico Town Councilor

ST. MARY WOMEN’S CLUB MEETING: St. Mary Women’s Club will hold its first meeting of the 2013-2014 season Monday, Sept. 9, at 7 P.M. in the parish hall. Do you have fond memories of shopping at G. Fox & Co. in downtown Hartford? Did you ride the elevator to its many floors, eat in its luncheonette, or look in wonder at its decorations at Christmas time? Come to our September meeting and take a trip back in time to the 1950s, when G. Fox was in its heyday and was the landmark department store in the Hartford area. Elizabeth Abbe, the director of public outreach at the Connecticut Historical Society, will rekindle for us these and other memories of this great store in her presentation entitled “From Hula Hoops to High Fashion.” Join us Sept. 9, bring along a favorite G. Fox memory to share or maybe even a favorite purchase, and enjoy a piece or two of date-nut bread, made from the store’s original recipe.
