The sweet spot When’s the last time you ate a

sheet of candy buttons or bought an Abba Zaba?

Have you ever indulged in an “ava-lanche” of peanut butter, chocolate chips and marshmallow molded into a light, fluffy treat?

Downtown Newington now boasts its very own old-fashioned candy store where you can find these sweets and much, much more.

Longtime Newington resident Stacey Kamienski has been mak-ing chocolates and other confections for years, but now that her new

store opened its doors this week she’s crafting candy on a much larger scale.

The Candy Jar is located on Main Street, just a few doors down from the Newington Chamber of Commerce. Chamber Executive Director Gail Whitney was among the visitors at Tuesday night’s ribbon-cutting who had the chance to check out the new shop and sample some of the homemade goodies.

Friendly atmosphere keeps regulars returning to Vito’sCome in to Vito’s for a pizza

on a Friday night and you might just catch Owner Mike Maffuci jumping the karaoke list to belt out Frank Sinatra.

“Once in a while,” he said on a recent afternoon amidst a glass of house red wine, which carries Vito’s signature logo on the bottle.

Maffuci and his three siblings grew up in Wethersfield with a mom who ran a health clinic and a father who was always feeding the family homemade pizza. His love for authentic Italian food translat-ed into the first Vito’s Restaurant opening in Wethersfield in 1977.

That location is now owned by Maffuci’s sisters Carol and Linda, while his brother Robert owns Vito’s in the Park in Hartford and Vito’s by the Water in Windsor.

“They all had other skills but the restaurant kept calling them back,” says Maffuci, who once had a dream of opening up a ski resort, but the restaurant pulled him back, too.

“You have to be committed to it,” he explained. “We’ve been here 17 years and seen places come and go, but we’re still here. We’ve been a part of town a long time.”

If you ask Maffuci what he thinks Vito’s regulars love most about the downtown joint he’ll say matter-of-factly, “Me,” then after a short pause for effect, “We have a friendly atmosphere. Most of the employees have been here a long time; everybody knows them.”

Longtime Manager Tim Jovel started when was 16 years old and is now running the place. But Vito’s has hired lots of Newington kids over the years who have came and went as they graduate from Newington High School.

“Tim is like a son to me. But

we’ve seen a whole generation come through here.” Maffuci says.

If you come in for lunch you’ll catch Diane Wind-Allard, who has carried piping-hot pizzas alongside Tim for the last 13 years. All three live in Newington.

Aside from its convenient downtown location at the corner of Main and Cedar Streets – easy walking distance for lots of locals – Vito’s makes great pizza.

“We’ve been making gourmet pizzas long before they became famous,” says Maffuci, who’s per-sonal favorite is the Hawaiian, traditionally sprinkled with pine-apple and Canadian bacon, with a house addition of pepperoni, peppers and a dash of hot sauce.

But the pizza sauce is different from the spaghetti sauce, which tops everything from baked ziti to chicken parmesan. (The most popular dish on the menu.)

“We are the home of chicken parm,” Maffuci will tell you. “We have a very good sauce; it’s in between sweet and tangy. I’ve had people tell me they can drink it

with a spoon.”Those who want to skip the

pizza and pasta can opt for a salad, which are big enough for two hungry adults to share.

Vito’s Pizzaria is located at 14 East Cedar Street. Hours: Mon.-Thurs. 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Fri.-Sat. 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sun. 12-9 p.m. (860) 667-4644.

Friday, Feb 8, 2013 | 3NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER Local NewsWoman allegedly pulls gun at Chuck E. Cheese’s

A Middletown woman is free on bond following her arrest on charges she allegedly threatened another patron of a children’s res-taurant with a gun during an argument Monday night.

Tawana Bourne is accused of brandishing a .380 semi-auto-matic handgun during a verbal argument with another woman at Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant located at 370 Berlin Turnpike.

Bourne was at the restaurant that features children’s games with her child around 8 p.m. when she allegedly pulled out the gun and chambered a round during an argument with another adult female who was also with a child, police said.

Restaurant staff immediately called police and kept the women separated until officers arrived. Bourne had a valid state pistol permit, which was seized by police along with her gun, police said.

She was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment, breach of peace, three counts of risk of injury to a child and sec-ond-degree threatening.

Bourne was released after post-ing $50,000 surety bond and is scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court Feb. 19.

Supreme Court rules against HealthBridge

(AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has denied a request by a New Jersey nursing home company which asked her to allow it to delay reinstating striking Connecticut workers.

HealthBridge Management argued Monday that a fed-eral court’s recent decision to strike down three of President Barack Obama appointees to the National Labor Relations Board calls the board’s decisions into question.

In December, a federal judge

approved an injunction request-ed by the board ordering the Parsippany, N.J.-based company to reinstate 600 striking workers at five nursing homes. A federal appeals court last week rejected HealthBridge’s request to delay that order.

District 1199 of the New England Health Care Employees Union said it’s pleased with Ginsburg’s decision.

HealthBridge said Monday it would renew its application for a stay and direct it at Justice Antonin Scalia.

Striking caregivers protest Healthbridge Management in September 2012.

Newington shows support for veterans landing projectThis past Monday evening — a

few months after the Newington Town Council approved tax reduc-tions for veteran residents — a presentation on a new assisted-living facility for vets 62 and older had a good showing.

The $30 million project, which will break ground on the campus of the Veterans Hospital later this month, is being orchestrated by the nonprofit Community Renewal Team.

Residents of the planned 95 one-bedroom and eight studio apartments are expected to be “mostly” veterans according to CRT officials, whose presentation in Council Chambers this week brought town officials and area veterans.

“I’ve been supportive of this and Victory Gardens; we support both projects,” said Rich Linnon, Taskforce Chariman of the Connecticut American Legion, who was joined by Newington resident and Post 117 Senior Vice Commander Tom Shields.

Both are Vietnam vets and have been keeping close watch on the progress of Veterans Landing as well as Victory Gardens, the other hous-

ing development underway at the VA in Newington.

“I work at the American Legion office in the VA so I help people out who are looking into this stuff,”

Linnon said Monday. Newington resident Michael Fox,

also a Vietnam vet, attended the meeting for his own informational purposes.

“I’m only 68 and I’m still able to afford my home but if the circum-stances were right in the future, I’d apply for a residence there,” he said before the presentation.

Newington officials have publi-cized their support of the project, which not only will bring in property taxes to the town, but is one of the first of its kind across the nation.

“To see the VA campus coming alive and to see Newington heading to the forefront because we have the VA Hospital is a great thing,” said Newington Mayor Steve Woods. “I think they would probably like to have a shovel in the ground already as would we, because we have all that under-utilized VA land up there,” he added. “It’s going to be a really good place for our veterans to live out the last years of their lives.”

CRT, who is leading the project, has been extending its outreach to Newington residents for many years and is celebrating its 50th anniversary

this year.Between Headstart, Meals-on-

Wheels, and many other programs and services, CRT served 1,363 town residents in 2012 alone.

“The overall goal of our agency is to move people from where they are to self-sufficiency,” explained CRT President and CEO Lena Rodriguez, who hosted Monday’s meeting.

VA officials also attended the eve-ning and provided their perspective on Veterans Landing, whose future residents will be utilizing the VA Hospital’s outpatient mental and physical health services.

“We look forward to working with CRT, the town of Newington and the veteran community in mov-ing this project forward,” said VA Connecticut Assistant Director Al Montoya.

Newington firefighters bring truck to Queens, N.Y.The world of firefighting is like a

brotherhood.When the Newington Volunteer

Fire Department recently saw a video plea released by the Point Breeze Volunteer Fire Department in New York, they sprung into action with the same urgency they might afford to a three-alarm fire blazing on Main Street in Newington.

This past Saturday, Newington firefighters and Town Manager John Salomone boarded the 1983 Hahn Pumper truck, one of the depart-ment’s older models, and made a special delivery.

Breezy Point, a small borough on the Rockaway Peninsula of Queens, N.Y., is about 2½ hours away from Newington.

The tightly-knit community has received an outpouring of help from all across the country since late October, when Superstorm Sandy wreaked its havoc. Besides the immense damage caused by flooding, downed power lines in Breezy Point burned down 126 homes and heavily damaged 22 more.

The inside of the Point Breeze firehouse was

filled with more than four feet of water by the time the storm was over and volunteer firefighters lost nearly all of their equipment, including their two fire engines.

“They’re not funded by the munic-ipality. They all work off of donations so for them to raise a few hundred-thousand dollars for a new truck is very difficult,” explained Newington Deputy Fire Chief Frank Papa.

One has since been repaired and thanks to Newington firefighters, they are now back in operation with two running engines.

“We’re very appreciative for our brothers and sisters at the Newington Fire Department; they’re a really nice group of people. And the truck runs very well,” said Point Breeze Volunteer Fire spokesman Steve Glavey.

From the first drop of rain on Oct. 29 to now, three months later, they never stopped being emergency responders. But normalcy has barely returned still, with insulation just going up in the walls of the Point Breeze Firehouse this week.

“It looks like a war zone right now,” Glavey continued. “We have guys living here 24/7 so we can respond quickly to calls; we’ve stayed in opera-tion through this whole thing.”

Breezy Point residents are slowly

beginning to return to their homes — the ones that are left.

“We have a very strong sense of community here,” he added. “Even if they weren’t back in their homes yet people still made an effort to get to

12 o’clock mass Sunday just to show solidarity.”

DHS thanks community for supportTo the editor:

As I complete my first year as Director, you, the community of Newington, have once again, stepped up to the plate with overwhelming support to our department and the residents we serve. Food bank dona-tions increased allowing us to better meet the needs of many residents.

Clothing Closet donations were also steadfast. We received generous monetary donations to support the food bank and Special Needs Fund, which allow us to purchase needed items for the food bank and holiday programs, and assist eligible residents with emergency basic needs.

The Newington Department of Human Services thanks all of the vol-unteers, civic organizations, religious groups, schools, businesses, and indi-vidual residents for their enthusiastic and generous support throughout the year. Our programs help house-holds consisting of families, single adults, senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Many residents are experiencing financial hardship due to issues such as chronic illness, sud-den or long term unemployment, or fixed/reduced income.

412 households were recipients of the holiday programs. 65 homebound

households had their food baskets delivered by volunteers. Thousands of non-perishable and hundreds of perishable food and gift items were collected and donated by many orga-nizations, businesses, schools, houses of worship and individuals. Several thousand gifts and food items were collected through Stuff a Cruiser events.

The Department of Human Services is very grateful to the com-munity for its whole-hearted support and generosity.

While we are unable to list all of the volunteers and contributors, we want to express our sincere appre-ciation to all of the organizations and individuals who helped to make this year brighter for those Newington residents in need.

Karen Futoma Director of Human Services

candy store, that’s what we like,” Whitney said, adding, “It’s so cute in here, you just want to eat off the walls!”

Those walls are covered in all vari-eties of time-honored treats, as well as some more modern artisan choices and of course Kamienski’s own pack-aged creations, labeled “Stacey-Ann’s Confections.”

Remember Necco Wafers and Sugar Daddy? What about Fun Dip, Pop Rocks and Rock Candy?

“I wanted to make sure I had all of the novelty, old-time candy,” explained Kamienski, whose home-made truffles are also irresistible, especially since the cash register sits atop two long glass cases exhibiting them all.

“I’ve been making chocolates and cakes, cooking my whole life, but I just sold them as a side business

while I was home with the kids,” she said. “Now I can do something for myself; I took the plunge. We really didn’t have anything like this around.”

Her husband Andrew and their two daughters Caitlin, 20, and Kylie, 17, all helped out on opening day. They have been enjoying her treats for years and are happy she can finally share them with others.

One of the new brands candy-connoisseurs might not recognize is Funky Chunky Chip-zel-pop: a mixed bag of potato chips, pret-zels, popcorn caramel and chocolate. There’s also every flavor of taffy chew imaginable, in addition to party snacks like wasabi peas and Cracker Jack, as well as sugar-free and gluten-free sweets.

Chocolates, candy and gift baskets can be customized for special occa-sions. All special orders are asked to

be made two weeks ahead of time.The Candy Jar is located at 1068

Main St. and is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They can be reached at (860) 372-4077.

Terry BlairNewington Girl’s Travel basketball players with Hartford Hawks players Amber Bepko, Alyssa Englert, Chris-tie Michals and Milana Gilbert.

The Newington Girl’s Travel Basketball Program through their governing league, Connecticut Girls’ Basketball League formed a relationship with the University of Hartford Women’s Basketball program this season.

The travel players have had the opportunity to attend several games at the university where they have been able to participate in game-time activi-ties including playing at half time; participating in the Hawks tunnel and special autograph ses-sions and shoot around after the game, including

a special night dedicated as “Newington Night”. The University of Hartford players provided the Newington players with a clinic that was focused on skills and drills with a question-and-answer period at the end to form relationships with the players.

The goal of these efforts is to provide oppor-tunities for our players to be exposed to a high level of women’s basketball with the hope that it would serve to inspire them and to promote girls basketball in our region.

Newington Girl’s Travel Basketball team learns from University of Hartford womenResident honored for

her volunteer work NEW BRITAIN — Two vol-

unteers were honored by Pope John Paul II School at the closing day of Catholic Schools Month and National School Choice Week Ceremony Friday.

Renata Kalinowski and Michelle Smoloski, both parents of Pope John Paul II students, were recognized for their many volunteer activities at the school.

Hosted by Principal Bohdan Cuprak the event included New Britain Mayor Tim O’Brien read-ing a proclamation about the special work these two women have done and continue to do on a daily basis.

Both ladies co-chair the Home and School Association for the past two years, attending school board meetings, working on the Annual Bazaar committee, orga-nizing Halloween, Christmas, Easter and dinner events for the whole parish community and school.

Working behind the scenes Kalinowski, who resides in Newington and is employed by Hartford Hospital as a nurse in the New Born Nursery, still finds the time to make and serve pan-cake breakfasts to the students;

chair many fundraisers; organize other parents to assist with the Annual Bazaar in June; clean the school during the summer; and organize parties and events for the students. A most special person to the school, she has taken the time to get to know the students and, while always smiling, helps to create a wonderful community in the school and parish of Holy Cross.

Smoloski, of Bristol is employed at McCarter and English in Hartford, takes the time each morning to prepare and copy notices for the parents and teach-ers; reaches out to the business community for support which have resulted in generous dona-tions from various businesses.

Former Ron’s Automoive mechanic finds a new home The beloved Ron’s Automotive

has found a new home.Longtime Newington residents

may remember frequenting the Main Street auto repair shop for honest service at a fair price. When Ron’s closed its doors in 2010, the word around town was, “Where did Greg Rannau go?”

Ron Rannau’s son and head mechanic at the family-owned shop, Greg, was a community fixture whose friendly service has now changed addresses — to Mad Max’s Motorsports in New Britain.

“Greg and I have known each other for a number of years and when they closed up I knew he needed a place to go,” explained Tim Panella, owner of Mad Max’s.

“I knew he had the same values I did so it worked out.”

Ron’s, which opened in 1972, garnered a large base of loyal cus-tomers who appreciated the kind of car repair service that can only come from a hometown, family-

owned shop. When they were forced to

close, Greg headed to one of the only other shops he knew that was also family-owned and run by

certified, licensed mechanics who offer honest, reliable service.

“We have the same philosophy; taking care of customers comes first and foremost,” says Greg. “We make sure they get a good job for a fair buck.”

Tim runs his business with same attitude. You won’t come in for an oil change and walk out with a $1,000 bill.

“You work on a car and you save all the parts so when the cus-tomer comes in you say, this is what we changed and tell them why,” says the 77-year-old Ron, who instilled in his son this old-fashioned approach to car repair.

Greg inherited his dad’s abil-ity to take pride in his work, but brought his own personality to the job, too, and that’s what made Ron’s such a popular place.

“When Greg took over he got more business people that I ever had,” Ron remembers.

And they’re beginning to discover where their favorite mechanic ran off to.

“There was a lady yesterday who came in because she found out where Greg was,” says Tim,

who’s happy to have joined forces with a business that not only brings its own customers from out of town, but also shares the same integrity.

“All the customers love Greg; they think he’s the greatest.”

Ron still lives in Newington, but he plans on making an appearance at Mad Max’s every once in a while.

“If he lets me!” he chuckled. “I love garages. This is just a won-derful business.”

Council meetings have become wrought with tension, childishness and partisanship

Town Councilors should be expected to ‘vote with their conscience’

To the editor:

I would like to begin this letter by thanking each Councilor for their years of service and commitment to the town of Newington. I may not always agree with you, but I do appreciate the hours you spend serving on the Council, attending other meetings and serving on various committees. I do not feel that anyone elected to public office should be considered fair game for random criticism or ridicule.

Since Nov. 13, 2012 when, at the Council meeting, a member of the public made direct accusations regarding his perception of unethical conduct, tension at Town Council meetings has escalated at what I consider to be an alarming rate. It has gone beyond simple partisan politics.

Supervising recess is nothing compared to watching what has transpired over the past few months. When the councilor who initiat-ed the call for ethics code review expresses that he has “other ethical concerns,” yet repeatedly refuses to disclose those concerns, it is suspect. What else is going on? It is like the little kid who runs by and says in a singsong taunting

voice, “I know something you don’t know and I’m not telling.” What is it that he believes is wrong with the ethics ordinance that he is only willing to share with an ethics ordinance subcommittee and not the Town Council or members of the public?

Criticism regarding perceived body lan-guage has begun to include members of the public along with fellow councilors. I sug-gested on a previous occasion that all elected officials look at themselves on NCTV re-runs to see their own body language. It might prove enlightening if they would be open to it.

My mother had several phrases she would say, ones that I swore would never cross my lips. I have eaten a lot of crow pie. One of her favorites, however, was something like, “if you are going to criticize someone make sure your own hems are clean.”

Perhaps the sign outside the door of the Town Council Chambers on meeting nights should read, “sandbox open – come in and kick some, pail and shovel optional.”

Mady KennyNewington

To the editor:

There has been much concern recently about our Newington Town Committees and whether certain members are allowed to serve on the Board of Ethics. While I admittedly do not have much, if any, interest in this topic, I believe that it has been determined that all Town Committee members except for the elected officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) are legal-ly eligible to be on the Board.

What bothers me most is a quote that I read from Councilor Maureen Klett in the Feb. 1 issue of the Town Crier. Mrs. Klett adamantly stated at a recent Town Council meeting that she does not feel that Town Committee members should serve on the Ethics Board.

However, it was pointed out in the Town Crier article that Mrs. Klett did, in fact, vote a Town Committee member on to the Ethics Board in 2010.

Her explaining quote in the Town Crier article says that she “didn’t feel comfortable” with her vote.

As a life-long citizen of this town, I have deep concerns that we should have an elected official that candidly admits she does not vote her con-science. How many other votes has Mrs. Klett cast that she has been “uncomfortable” with? And, more importantly, Why?

I know that during election seasons Mrs. Klett diligently knocks on many doors in this town and asks the voters to listen to her views and opinions and, based on these, to vote for her. I don’t see what purpose that serves now that we know that she votes for things that she is not in favor of. I’m sorry — I don’t understand it. And I just expect more from anyone that is elected to represent our town.

Newington looking for certified disaster response volunteers

Please join us for an informational pre-sentation of becoming a certified disaster response volunteer in Newington. (Must be at least 18 years old). The meeting will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25 at Town Hall Council Chambers, 131 Cedar St.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency prepared-ness projects in their community.

People who go through CERT train-ing have a better understanding of the potential threats to their home, workplace

and community and can take the right steps to lessen the effects of these hazards on themselves, their homes or workplace. If a disaster happens that overwhelms local response capability, CERT mem-bers can apply the training learned in the classroom and during exercises to give critical support to their family, loved ones, neighbors or associates in their immedi-ate area until help arrives.

When help does arrive, CERTs pro-vide useful information to responders and support their efforts, as directed, at the disaster site. CERT members can also assist with non-emergency projects that improve the safety of the community. CERTs have been used to distribute and/or install smoke alarms, replace smoke alarm batteries in homes of the elderly, distribute disaster education material, provide services at special events, such as parades, sporting events, concerts and more.
