Newington swims away with a win1

By alex syPhersStaff Writer

It is hard as a Newington resi-dent to not have heard of Steve’s Place on 84 Market Square. Steve’s Place has been a staple of good eats in Newington since 1969, when Steve Kuzoian opened the restaurant doors for the first time, starting what would become one of Newington’s most popu-lar restaurants. During a recent morning, Doug Kuzoian, Steve’s son and now owner of the restau-rant, reflected upon the 42 years they’ve been open in the town.

Walking into Steve’s Place, one is struck by a good, homey feeling. The sounds of classic rock mingle with the smells of grilled burgers and grinders that float through the air. Passing the aisles of dark green booths and stepping up to the counter you will find Doug, always hard at work preparing meals for his patrons, most of whom he knows by name.

After 42 years of service, Steve’s Place is still a favorite spot for Newington to grab a bite to eat.

Even though it is nestled under blan-kets of white and lies quiet during the long winter chill, talk about the Cedar Mountain range is starting to heat up among citizens in the towns of Newington and Wethersfield. Residents have noticed construction equipment lumbering through the woods in recent months.

Gayle Raducha, one of the founders of Save Cedar Mountain, a group looking to preserve Cedar Mountain as a wildlife friendly area for all to enjoy, is one such resident.

“Because I am always on Russell Road, I was noticing that there were a lot of trees being marked and then one day I went up there and there were a lot of bulldozers and backhoes,” said Raducha.

Cedar Mountain became an area of hot dispute during the latter half of 2009 when the Toll Brothers, a luxury home and condominium builder, went before the Newington Town Planning and Zoning Commission to request the rezoning of 28 acres of industrial land, owned by Marcap Co., be re-designated as a residential zone for potential development.

The supporters of Save Cedar Mountain were able to effectively band together to stop the re-designation of the parcel of land and put a hiatus on the development of the mountain.

Yet, in recent months Raducha says she has encountered construction crews working in the woods between the Connecticut Humane Society and Cedar Crest Hospital.

The 96-acre lot is owned by Balf Co., which also owns the former Tilcon quarry at the northern end of the mountain range.

Both Newington Town Mayor Jeff Wright and Town Planner Ed Meehan acknowledged the activity taking place on the mountain, but said there is little the

town could do if the Toll Brothers decided to buy the land or develop it.

The 96-acre parcel is designated as an R-20 zone, which allows for residential building on half acre plots.

“There has been some activity up there — noth-ing official,” said Wright. “But they have not sub-mitted any applications for that. But that property is zoned for residential half-acre lots, so if Balf decides to develop that or sell it to someone else to build houses, they are within their rights.”

According to Meehan there are development limitations in the area due to the steep slopes and wetlands on the top of the mountain. The construc-tion crews are most likely conducting preliminary testing of the area, he said.

“They are probably working on some sort of concept plan — they being the Toll Brothers,” said Meehan. “They would take that concept plan and make sure that it meets the land use regulations in planning and zoning, but they haven’t shared that with us yet.”

“Spring is coming,” he added, “and if they plan on doing anything it will prob-ably be in the next couple of months.”

Wright said his major concern was the preservation and extension of a 1.8-mile walking trail that runs the length of the mountain. To stop the development of the land, he said, the town would have to buy the land.

“Long-term, if you look at it, there is

a significant amount of acreage up there; that is too much property for the taxpay-ers to buy. It would cost us a fortune,” said Wright. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we see applications for things to be developed up there. To me, to keep the trail line is the most important issue of the whole thing.”

For Raducha the goal is still the same as last winter, the preservation of one of the few open spaces left in the surround-ing area.

“They would be destroying the one natu-ral place in miles. It’s just a wonderful place. The wildlife is spectacular,” said Raducha, “My concern is the wildlife. It bothers me to know that these people are not going to be happy until all of Connecticut is con-creted or paved over and there is not going to be anything natural left in the area.”

Former Treasurer of the Newington Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Fredrick Seremet, 59, was found guilty of first-degree larceny Thursday, Jan. 13, at the New Britain Superior Court for the embezzlement of $118,711, from the Ambulance Corps over the course of three years. Seremet pled guilty to the lar-ceny charge and was convicted, he was found not guilty on the 40 counts of forgery. He was sentenced to five years probation, including nine months house ar-rest, in addition to a 20-year sus-pended jail sentence. If Seremet is convict of another crime during his five-year probationary period, the court reserves the right to revoke the suspended sentence and incarcerate him for up to 20 years. On Feb. 3, 2010, Seremet was accused of embezzling money from the non-profit organization after Ambulance Corps Board Directors noticed irregularities in expense reports. The board hired an auditor to review the budget. After reviewing the audit findings, the board filed a warrant for

Seremet’s arrest. He was charged with first-degree larceny and 40 counts of second-degree forgery. Seremet was required to pay back the $118,711 he had em-bezzled along with an additional $20,000 for damages done to the Newington Volunteer Ambu-lance Corps. Since his arrest all the money has been returned. “I think Mr. Seremet just wants people to know that he is genuinely sorry for what he did,” said Seremet’s Attorney Andrew Urbanowicz of Enfield. Seremet was a long-time volun-teer of the Newington Ambulance Corps., including serving for over 15 years on the Ambulance Corps Board of Directors. The Newington Volunteer Ambulance Corps is a nonprofit organization; the corps relies on donations and billing the insurance companies of people that require its medical service to fund in its operating budget of $500,000 a year. The organiza-tion does not receive any money from the town. Fredrick Seremet could not be reached for comment. The Newington Volunteer Ambulance Corps did not respond to phones calls.

“I think when people talk about their favorite local eating spots, we are always in the conversation,” said Doug, “I think it’s neat, because people like to talk about their favorite places and I think, thankfully, we have always been part of the conversation.”

Steve’s Place is a family run business, run by people who care for other people, said Doug, and it is the people who have made Steve’s place the gath-ering spot it is today.

A place like this wasn’t built in a year,” said Doug looking toward the timeline of faded photographs of high school sports teams of years gone by scattered along the walls of the restaurant. “It has evolved.”

His father started the collection of Newington sports memorabilia years ago when Doug and his brothers played town sports. Today the photos are time capsules

to history of Steve’s Place.Doug started working at Steve’s Place

when he was 15 years-old, working with his two brothers and mother to help their father operate the restaurant. After gradu-

ating from college in 1982, Doug took over the restaurant. He never expected to make it his career, he said.

“When I got out of college my father wanted to retire so I was going to take over it for a few years instead of having it leave the family. That was 29 years ago. How do you like that,” he said with a laugh.

Today Steve’s place still holds its place as

one of Newington’s staple restaurants.“It is easy to come to a place like

this and become a regular,” said Doug, “because even if you only have a half hour lunch you will get most of your lunch hour sitting, enjoying, eating.”

The friendly faces behind the display

case of pickles and quality cold cuts, con-tribute to the atmosphere of the restaurant, as they are always eager to take orders or prepare a cup of coffee to exact specifications.

“A business like this comes down to people helping people,” said Doug. “You cannot franchise service.”

Steve’s Place serves a simple yet quality menu of pastas with homemade sauces, to burgers and paninis, giant hot oven grinders, and of course a classic breakfast selection.

“Franchises have ruined the sandwich,” said Doug, saying he keeps the food sim-ple, made fresh and of quality ingredients. “That is what helps us distinguish our-selves away from the pack.”

It’s his quality food and great staff, said Doug, which has kept the doors to Steve’s Place open for all these years but most importantly it was the support the residents of Newington have always given him and his father.

“As the years go on, places like Steve’s Place have become few and far between,” said Doug. “I hope in the years to come, people will go the extra mile to find places like Steve’s.”

Steve’s Place remains a much-loved place to grab a bite in Newington

“I think when people talk about their favorite local eating spots, we are always in the conversation.”

The Newington Town Council met with local state legislators dur-ing its last meeting Tuesday, Jan. 11, to discuss future state and local issues as well as how the projected state budget deficit could trickle down and affect the town’s budget process in the coming months.

“We are all staring down a $3.5 billion deficit so I don’t envy your position at this point,” said Mayor Jeff Wright, as he welcomed state Rep. Tim O’Brien of the 24th Assembly District, state Rep. Sandy Nafis of the 27th Assembly District, state Rep. Antonio Guerrera of the 29th Assembly District, and Sen. Paul Doyle to the council meeting.

In their opening remarks the leg-islators told the council it was going to be a financially rough year for both the state and the town. In preliminary reviews of the upcom-ing budget it is predicted that the state could be facing a budget deficit

that is in excess of $3.7 billion in the coming year, a financial sting that is compounded by the fact that federal dollars to the state have also slowed due to the recession.

“We can’t count on federal dollars. Those aren’t coming in as they used to and again it is up to all of us to sacrifice a little bit like we do in our own homes,” Guerrea told the coun-cil. “I don’t want to sound like doom and gloom, I just want to make sure there is a reality check.”

In an effort to soften the finan-cial blow against the state and local municipalities the state is looking at a few options to reduce spending and increase revenue, said the legislators, including reducing the size of gov-ernment, streamlining systems, and incorporating highway toll booths along the state borders.

One major concern expressed by the legislators was the potential reduction of state aid given to local municipalities, such as educational and STEAP grants.

“Realistically, there will not be an

increase in state aid. We all certainly know that. The truth of the matter is there’s a lot of [budget] areas we can’t cut because of con-tractual issues,” e x p l a i n e d Doyle, “so it will be a chal-lenge, but I do look forward to fighting again for Newington and getting through the tough times.”

Both legislators and council-ors feared that as a result of these financial streams being reduced to a trickle, the municipalities would be forced to make up the difference. Yet, the legislators were quick to explain that raising property taxes was not the way to overcome short falls in state funding.

“We are in a $4 billion plus hole and how are we going to overcome this, and we can’t do this, folks, by raising taxes. We have to think

outside the box… we have to work together to figure this puzzle out,”

said Guererra. “You can’t fix this by rais-ing taxes, you can’t fix this by devastating services either, it is going to be something like a pendu-lum, we will

have to weigh this off. It is going to be a sacrifice for all of us.”

O’Brien showed optimism saying that this was a time to creatively assess the state’s budget practices and correct current practices that contributed to the budget deficit over the years. “We really need to think about the totality of the way we do things in the governments of our state and think about the most efficient and effective way of getting things done,” said O’Brien, “There’s a lot of ideas out there. I don’t think we should sweep anything off the

table. This is a time when we can be truly creative.

If we use this moment as an opportunity, we can set things right for the future. “

During the hour-long discussion many councilors expressed concern that state mandates being enacted upon the town could potentially be unfunded, burdening the town with more financial expenditures than would not have been allocated for in this year’s budget.

“Governor Malloy, being a former mayor, has always rattled the cages about unfunded mandates,” said Doyle. “This may be an opportunity for us to help the communities by eliminating some mandates. I think that is on the table like it has never been before.”

“I just want to thank you for all you do for the district,” said Councilor Maureen Klett, at the close of the meeting, “I know it’s not an easy time out there right now but I just want to let you know everything you do is appreciated.”

Benedetta Boccaccio, center, celebrated her 102 birthday Jan. 5.

The oldest of 12, Boccaccio was born in Lawrence, Mass., in 1909.

She moved to Newington with her family in 1912.

On Jan. 8, 2011, she was joined by five generations of family to celebrate her birthday.

She has three daughters, Mary, Josephine, and Eva, and two sons, Tom and Paul.

To date, Boccaccio has 17 grandchildren, 43 great-grandchildren, and 22

great-great-grandchildren. During her celebration Boccaccio reminisced about such events as World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II.

“She has seen poverty. She has seen hard times. She has seen the death of most of her siblings,” said Benedetta’s son Tom.

What keeps her so healthy? “A little bit of spaghetti and vino,” Benedetta said with a laugh. As for advice for future generations, she says, “Don’t try to grow up to early.”

State Senator Paul Doyle (D-9th District), recently elected to his third term in the Connecticut State Senate, is doing some-thing that very few politicians in competitive election races have done — after running a lean election campaign, Doyle is returning more than 50 percent of his taxpayer grant money back to the taxpayers of the state of Connecticut.

“In these very difficult economic times when Connecticut’s families are reducing their spending and watching every dollar, the least I can do is be prudent with their money and return much of it back to them,” explained Doyle.

Earlier this week, Doyle dropped off a check for $45,488.92 at the office of the State Elections Enforcement Commission in Hartford.

That amount represents over 50 percent of the taxpayer’s money that Doyle’s campaign committee received from the state public financing system.

While grateful for the many contributions he received in qualifying for the Connecticut Citizens Elections Program, Doyle made it a priority to run an efficient campaign that

limited his use of the taxpayer’s money.“My opponent last fall was very experi-

enced, in fact, I served with him in the State House of Representatives for several terms. We had a tough, fair, and competitive race,” said Doyle. “He and I ran an issues-based race both focused on talking directly to the voters.”

“Ultimately, the Citizens Elections Program is funded by the hard-working tax-paying citizens of the state and we are all wise to remember this as we run our campaigns,” he pointed out. “I made a commitment when I ran to run a lean and efficient cam-paign operation and that’s what we did. I’ve always run my campaigns this way, but given the fiscal crisis that the state is currently in, it became even more important to ensure that state taxpayer money was being used efficiently.”

“I’m proud to be able to return this money to the state coffers, on behalf of the citizens of my district,” Doyle stated. “I serve in public office to focus on issues that are important to my constituents and represent them at the Capitol, and I know they are very concerned about the budget crisis we currently face.”

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER Friday, January 21, 2011 | 11Sportswww.newingtontowncrier.comSportsBy Andy RAgAliMATT STRAuB conTRiBuTed To ThiS ARTicle Staff Writer

Newington took care of New Britain 64-55 on Monday in the second game of the day at the Connecticut Hoops Challenge at Central Connecticut State’s Detrick Gym.

Sophomore Timmy Blair led the Indians with 23 points and Junior Matt Dean was a scoring threat as well, putting in 13 points to help hold off the Hurricanes

after building a lead early on.It was the eighth win of the

season for Newington (8-2), qualifying the team for the Class LL state tournament with still a half season to play.

New Britain (1-9) came back from a nine-point deficit to even the game at 21 midway through the second quarter, but the Indians scored the last 10 points of the half to take control of the game.

They wouldn’t give away the lead again for the rest of the match up.

“That was huge, and it all start-ed from our defense,” Newington coach Scot Wenzel said.

“We were able to get some stops. Defensively we went to a man-to-man. Give New Britain credit, they knocked down some shots against our zone, but once we went man-to-man, that’s our bread-and-butter.

Once we went to that we got some stops and fed off of it.”

The Hurricanes were led by freshman Craven Johnson’s 18

points and 20 by sophomore Deaquone Clark.

Clark kept New Britain in the

game in the first and third quar-ter, getting to the foul line and

keeping his team within striking distance.

The Indians were too much though, and escaped with a huge win.

“Blair had an unbelievable night, he was shooting the lights out for us,” Wenzel said.

“He was shoot-ing the lights out.

And the good news is he’s only a sophomore.”

Newington tops New Britain

By Joe FoRTunAToStaff Writer

NEWINGTON — It was a day of special performances in Newington’s 97-86 victory over Southington Friday night.

The meet was close and exciting, with both teams stealing the lead from the other, until Newington finally pulled away at the end.

Southington coach Evan Tutto was pleased with the effort from his team, but also tipped his hat to a stronger Newington side.

“Obviously it’s our toughest meet all year and Newington swam fan-tastically,” he said. “All their guys stepped up, and they did what they had to do. Our guys swam great too, it was just a matter of battling numbers and battling bodies. We just couldn’t pull it out.”

For the Indians, the win camewith several gems.

Newington’s Andre Profitt was a

dual winner, taking first in both the 200 free and the 500 free.

Profitt had the most impressive finish of the night, destroying the rest of the competitors in his 500 free finish. He took first place in the event with a 5:34.14 time, the next closes competitor came in at 6:08.77.

Newington coach John Dipaola-Tromba was happy with Proffitt’s effort today.

“He’s pretty much a rising star on the team the past couple of years,” Dipaola-Tromba said.

“He has a ton of potential, but he doesn’t know it yet. He holds himself back, but when he’s on he’s even bet-ter than what he did today. But he swam great today.”

As a team Newington dominated the 50 free. Chris Seguro took first, Steven Falkner took second and Andrew McCarther took third, giv-ing the Indians 13 points and putting them ahead 35-27. That would be

the decisive swing of momentum, as Indians wouldn’t relinquish the lead from that point forward.

Dipaola-Tromba praised his team’s effort.

“I’m actually pretty happy. We’ve always had Southington as one of out bigger rivals over the years. This year it’s been pretty close between us, and it’s great to see a meet where it was close all the way to the final heat,” he said.

The Blue Knights had a well-rounded effort from all of their swimmers, despite the loss. Ryan Connors took first place for Southington in diving, with a score of 152.45. Michael Smigelski took first in the 100 fly and the 100 breast, and also swam on the 200 medley relay and the 200 relay teams (both of which also took first for Southington.

Tutto expected that kind of per-formance from his star swimmer.

“I don’t have to worry about him. The biggest challenge for me is finding the best spot to put him in,” he said. “You know he’s going to perform well and you just try to maximize the points from him.”

Tutto made a few strategic moves before the match began to try and maximize points, something that both did and did not work for the Blue Knights.

“I took some gambles today,” he said. “I took a few guys out of sprint events to try and get us some points. And I picked us up some points, but I also got hurt in the sprints. It was win one lose one today unfortunately.”

Southington’s biggest score was posted by Colin Magaro who finished the 100 free in 53.15 seconds.

“His previous best was a low 54, so it was a great time and he should be pleased,” Tutto said.

Jesse Cooney also had a great fin-

ish for the Blue Knights clocking in a 1:02.47 in the 100 back. Although the time was impressive, he missed automatically qualifying for states

by half a sec-ond. Still, Tutto wasn’t worried.

“That time will get him in,” he said.

The Indians swimmers were c o m p e t i t i v e all meet, and their mentality was something that Dipaola-Tromba liked to see from his swimmers.

“The kids were really enthus ias t i c , they went after every event with heart,” he said.

The meet might have gone in Newington’s favor, but both sides swam with purpose and heart and set the stage for some matchups down the road in states.

there was a big pile of laundry.nce upon a time,

The pile was made up of all different colors.

A mommy decided she would play a game.

Red! she said to her child, holding up a red

shirt. Red! the child said. Mommy put it in

the colors pile. Whites went in another pile.

Green like a frog! White like ice cream! And

so it went. Colors, whites. Colors, whites.

And on the very last thing – a bib of blue –

the child pointed to the colors pile. You

should’ve seen the smile on mommy’s face.

Everyday moments can become learning moments. Because learningstarts long before school does. So tell stories. Play with the laundry.And even a chore with your child will become much more. Find out more at bornlearning.org.©
