Newington Kiwanis get firsthand account of Boston bombing

NEW BRITAIN — April 15 of this year started off as a quiet day for Harold Kramer, chief operating officer of the ARRL National Association for Amateur Radio, based in Newington. But on volunteer duty as a ham radio operator at the Boston Marathon, it soon became a day he would never forget.

Kramer, a Cheshire resident whose call sign is WJ1B, wit-nessed the Boston bombings that left three people dead and another 260-plus injured. He recounted his experience at a meeting of the Newington Kiwanis Monday at Paradise Pizza in New Britain.

Kramer was one of 150 licensed “hams” who volunteered at the annual event, relaying informa-tion to and from the starting and finish lines, medical tents and buses on site.

“My credentials were checked about 20 times,” he noticed, which led him to wonder how brothers Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, — responsible for the terror attacks, slipped by unnoticed.

NEWINGTON

Town native named to prominent ‘40 Under Forty’ listOne of Newington’s own was

named to the Hartford Business Journal’s annual “40 Under Forty” list and will be honored at an awards ceremony this September.

St. Mary School alum and Newington High School Class of 1998 graduate Melissa Harris is passionate about making the world a better place, and it shows.

Harris, 32, is director of strategy and communications at CO:LAB, a brand strategy and design firm that works with businesses, orga-nizations and initiatives that have social value. But her job reaches far beyond creating logos, slogans

and branding missions. After graduating from

Providence College with a B.A. in English and philosophy then jumping into the non-profit sector, Harris’ desire for good-doing became a career path.

And that’s precisely why she was hired by CO:LAB Founder Rich Hollant two years ago when the 20-year-old company was in transition from simple brand development and pro-motion to socially-conscious efforts. Before CO:LAB Harris was communications director at the Connecticut Association of Nonprofits.

“I’m surrounded by this tremen-

dously talented team; I look at what everyone is contributing to the work we’re doing and I have something to learn every single day from them. Everyone here is superthoughtful and committed to doing work that’s meaning-ful and good,” says Harris, who tends to give credit to everyone but herself.

She attributes her civic-mindedness to her parents, who instilled in her to go after what is most important.

“When you look at the collec-tion of little decisions you make throughout the day, they really add up and have an impact,” Harris says.

“I love what I do and I work hard but I think when you find something that you’re passionate about and you love doing you really get into it,” she added. “I’ve always been a super inquis-itive person who seeks to learn more; in this job I’m always learning and I know there’s so much more to learn.”

So what does the future hold? “All I know is I’m going to

keep challenging myself and keep doing what I believe in and I know I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be,” says Harris, who has two children, Livia, 3, and Ethan, 1, with her husband Jamie.

In her free time, Harris enjoys having outdoor adventures and finger-painting with her family.

“I like rediscovering the world through my kids.”

40 Under Forty winners were determined by an independent panel of judges, who chose from more than 125 nominations.

“They are leaders in their respective fields and committed to bettering the communities in which they live and work,” said

Gail Lebert, publisher of the Hartford Business Journal. “We are delighted to recognize their accomplishments and wish them continued growth and success.”

The 17th Annual 40 under Forty Awards Ceremony will be held Sept. 23 at the Connecticut

Convention Center from 5 to 9 p.m. For more information about the winners and the event, visit www.hartfordbusiness.com.

Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 225-4601, ext. 210, or [email protected].

State Bond Commission OKs $460K grant to seal town landfill

The town’s landfill may final-ly be sealed after elected officials announced last Friday they garnered nearly half the necessary funding.

The $460,000 grant requested by State Representative Sandy Nafis (D-Newington) and State Senator Paul Doyle (D-Wethersfield) was approved by the State Bond Commission and administered through the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) as part of its grants-in-aid to municipalities for improvements to incinerators and landfills.

Town officials estimated the proj-ect’s total cost to be no more than $900,000, so the grant will ultimately lessen the town’s portion after closure specifics are determined.

The area has not collected any waste for more than a decade, as all vegetative and bulky refuse is pro-cessed through the town’s transfer station and disposed of elsewhere. But the town is mandated to seal the landfill once closed, so officials are gradually collecting enough funds to complete the process.

“This has been on our radar for a number of years and we’ve been put-ting small amounts of money aside but not enough to make a real dent in it. This will go along way to helping us move forward,” Town Manager John Salomone said Tuesday.

Capping it would ensure long-term protection for the surrounding area, which includes Churchhill Park, adjacent to the Main Street site. A drainage system would be installed to collect all runoff and reroute it into the sewage system, then the fill would be covered with an adequate amount of soil.

“Once this land fill area is closed, we will be able to consider other uses for the site which could be extend-ing the Churchill Park area,” Mayor

Stephen Woods said in welcoming the news.

“I can’t say exactly what they’re going to do with it, but at the very least it opens it up for another pas-sive recreation area – something everybody in town could enjoy,” said Nafis, who learned about the growing need for the funding last December while meeting with Salomone and Newington Public Works staff.

“It’s something they needed to do,” she added. “By us getting them some money they’re not going to have to take it out of the local property taxes; it really helps for the cost.”

No decision to close the landfill has officially been made by the Town Council, whose members were surprised to hear about the award this week.

“I am grateful that the state awarded this bond to Newington; if the Town Council should decide to close the landfill, this will be much needed fund-ing,” said Councilor Beth DelBuono, who is hoping to learn more about the possibility in coming weeks.

“It’s really quite frustrating as a

minority leader to not have had any information on this,” she explained. “In the two years I’ve been on the Council we have not had any discus-sion on closing the landfill in any way shape or form.”

Citizens can still drop off refuse, leaves, brush, recycling and other bulky waste at the site on weekends only from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., since it is brought out-of-town for disposal.

“At some point the transfer sta-tion will be modernized to make it more user-friendly,” Salomone said Tuesday.


Erica Schmitt | StaffThe State Bond Commission this week approved a $460,000 grant to assist in sealing the town landfill. If the town decides to close it, residents will be able to bring waste to the town transfer station at 281 Milk Lane.

As assistant to the Marathon’s Medical Director Chris Troyanos, he was inside the medical tent near the finish line when the first of two bombs exploded about 300 feet away.

“All this white smoke started rolling in and people started looking at each other like, what the hell was that?” Kramer remembered.

Suddenly the net control center that all operators were required to call every 30 minutes was flooded by reports coming in from up and down Boylston Street.

“That’s when they started wheeling in people — some bleeding pretty badly — and all non-medical personnel were told to leave the tent,” said Kramer, who was asked to help bus dispatchers prepare to transport people out of the city.

“People were screaming; it was one of the most bizarre scenes I’ve ever encoun-tered,” he added. “I had to be prepared because anything could happen. I had my yellow jacket and IDs on so I looked offi-cial, and people were asking me, ‘how do I get out of here?’”

It wasn’t long before the command center told radio operators to leave Boston and let police, fire and EMS personnel handle the disaster. The day may have been over for Kramer, who at that point made the long trek to find his car, but it was the lessons learned in emergency plan-ning and response he will carry forever.

Carrying some type of smart phone with internet capa-bilities he found to be essential, as most peo-ple at the event knew less about the circum-stances of the tragedy than those reading or watching news reports from the outside did. Also, his phone had GPS capabilities that led him to locate his car to vacate the city and help others find their own destinations. But most importantly, Kramer told those who attended Monday’s meeting he was able to check in with his wife and daughter to let them know he was OK.

Members of Newington’s newly-formed Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) listened to him speak to expand upon their knowledge of emergency response.

“Based on his experiences there I knew it would be informative for CERT folks to hear,” said Meg Sautter, team coordina-

tor and a Newington police officer for 20 years.

“To be prepared in your clothing, radio, mindset — that all has to be there,” added Sautter, who invites those interested

to join the next CERT class beginning Sept. 5. Registration is through the office of Newington Human Services.

Newington Kiwanis President Bob Seiler Sr., who happens to be Sautter’s husband, is a retired Newington police sergeant who spent 25 years on the force and now chairs the Board of Fire Commissioners. He also found the evening interesting and informa-tive.

“One thing everybody has to remember is, when something dramatic happens, people take a cue from the way you act,” he cautioned the group. “If you’re a person of authority and people see you running around in circles, they’re going to run in bigger circles.”

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. **Interest may be tax deductible. Check with your tax advisor.

6| Friday, August 2, 2013 NEWINGTON TOWN CRIERLocal News | OpinionArea businesses take different tacks to find workers

A recent, nationwide survey by Atlanta-based Randstad found there is more to attracting top job candidates than pay.

In fact, the differences between the sexes when considering an employer can be crucial.

According to the survey of 7,000 people by the human resources firm, location is key for women workers; 44 percent of female respondents chose that as an important employer attribute compared to 35 percent of men.

When choosing to work for an employer, 42 percent of men look for opportunities to advance versus 36 percent of women. Additionally, the financial health of a company is more important to male respondents (36 per-cent of men versus 28 percent of women).

37 percent of women respon-dents chose workplace flexibility as an important employer attri-bute, compared to only 26 percent of men.

Closer to home, Herald readers weighed in on survey results.

Ann Baldwin, owner of Baldwin Media, a public relations firm in Newington, stresses the impor-tance of mutual understanding.

“When I worked on TV [as an anchor] and needed to take a day

off because my kid was sick there was little understanding. My boss didn’t have children,” she said.

Lesson: look for an employer who shows empathy.

Phil Sherwood, New Britain Mayor Timothy O’Brien’s dep-uty chief of staff, says the survey points to lingering inequalities between men and women.

“A woman working full time is still responsible for most of the household duties,” he says. “Men need to step it up in the home.”

Sherwood’s wife, Dena, was drawn to her new job in New Hampshire because of its flexibili-ty and family-friendly atmosphere.

However, best-selling author and TV host, Diane Smith urges that you look for an employ-er where you can advance and make important contacts; “that’s far more valuable then a nearby, flexible employer. If you’re not attuned to job flexibility you could be passed over for promotion.”

“More young couples want to live closer to work and in urban centers, near mass transportation and housing,” says Gerry Amodio, New Britain’s downtown director. “They’re willing to get by with less in exchange for quality fam-ily time.”

According to Diane Alverio, principal, Alverio & Co., Farmington, women with fami-lies should weigh several factors including location to make sure they have the support system they need while they work so they can attend kids’ events.

Chris DeFrancesco, com-munications specialist based in Farmington, finds it hard to imagine that either gender has a monopoly on career advancement. For him, in this economy, job security trumps career progres-sion.

Michael Nicastro, president

and CEO, Central Connecticut Chambers of Commerce, says though the “glass ceilings” may not have been shattered, it was significantly cracked with ascen-sion to CEO by women such as Carly Fiorina, formerly with Hewlett Packard.

“Demographics point to people marrying and starting families later in life; so, both genders are cognizant of upward mobility in their careers and both want to participate in their children’s upbringing,” he said.

Steven Hanks, chief medical officer at the Hospital of Central Connecticut, says gender differ-ences have blurred and cites the rise of two-earner households with more wives becoming the higher wage earner.

Judi Forster also sees little gender difference. “As a career development specialist for the

Department of Labor, I see both men and women motivated to achieve equal outcomes for job opportunity and growth, achieve-ment and pay.”

Mark Bernacki says he located his business, Sir Speedy Printing, in New Britain, because he and his wife wanted to be close to home, to participate in their kids’ school activities.

New Britain real estate bro-ker Nina Jankowski gets the final word.

“Although it’s supposed to be ignored in our politically correct, equal opportunity world, at the core is still the primal need for men to hunt and women to nur-ture.”

Mayor’s accusations a shock to candidate DelBuono To the Editor:

In a July 26th article The Hartford Courant, the Mayor of Newington accuses me, his GOP opponent of “playing politics with a grant application to reconfigure Garfield Street.”

The motion to table the issue was a unanimous vote in favor of delaying action. There was no comment on either side stating any concern regarding delaying the vote. It is a rare occasion when a unanimous vote occurs at a Newington Town Council meet-ing under Mayor Woods.

It was shocking for the Mayor, to refer to it as “playing poli-tics.” The Mayor did not argue the merits of the request at the Council table in any way, shape or form. He simply voted to table the vote like the other eight Town Council members.

There are three issues with regard to this grant, green space by virtue of losing a portion of our park area, costs which have not been fully articulated, and safety as purported by the Town Manager, Town Engineer and the Mayor. In addition, Don Woods, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, and Mayor Woods’ brother addressed the Council with concerns for how the road straightening would effect the park space. He stated that less space in the ball field would effect how the park is used for the Annual Extravaganza.

Unfortunately, no safety or traf-fic data was provided prior to the Town Council meeting to afford the councilors on either side of the table to vote on the issue. Tabling the vote only made good sense in an effort to make sure that due diligence was accomplished.

No politics were played, only the best interest of Newington was at the forefront.

Brickhouse Bar & Grill offering new food, nightlife options There are reasons why

Brickhouse Bar & Grill has gained popularity over the last nine years while other places have been forced to close in the tough financial times.

Great atmosphere, food and service are three that Owner John Tsakiris, a lifelong Newington resident, prides himself on main-taining to keep his customers happy.

“We’re busier than we’ve ever been and I think it’s a testament to our consistency,” says Tsakiris, who bought the establishment ready to build his own menu after working in restaurants for more than two decades.

That scratch-made menu is still evolving. Some entic-ing new additions this summer include his pulled pork, meatballs,

Guinness-battered fish and chips, two unique new wing sauces and some fun desserts: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pie with raspberry sauce, anyone?

“We’ve kept the same menu for the last four or five years, but change is good, and I listen to the masses,” Tsakiris says. “Gotta keep it creative.”

But that doesn’t mean he’ll stop serving favorites like his double-stacked nachos and charcoal-grilled ½ pound Black

Angus burgers. Besides the new lunch and din-

ner options, they’re also upping the nighttime entertainment. Brickhouse features live music and a DJ on occasion, but Saturday, Aug. 17 will be the start of weekly Saturday trivia games. Two brand new pool tables were also brought in last week.

Tsakiris is a hands-on kind of business owner, so you can find him joining his staff in pret-ty much every part of the job,

whether it be managing, cleaning, bartending or cooking — the lat-ter is his specialty.

Tsakiris is in the kitchen whip-ping up dishes daily, and a catering menu for small parties is available online at thebrickhousect.com.

“I want people to know we’re not just a bar; this is a food desti-nation, too,” he says.

The Brickhouse Bar & Grill is located at 80 Market Square, Newington. (860) 667-2112. Hours: Monday through

Thursday, noon to 1 a.m., Friday, noon to 2 p.m., Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

violent situations.“So far we’ve raised over $50,000

through this event and we’re on track to do another $25,000 this year,” Nancy Tyler, CRT’s director of external affairs said Tuesday.

“This is our first year at Indian Hill,” she added. “Everyone had a wonderful day. We really loved the people here; the course is beautiful and we were lucky we had great weather.”

A cocktail hour with compli-mentary sushi and wine tastings, beauty makeovers and massages followed golf Tuesday before par-ticipants — all women — sat down for a formal dinner.

The evening’s honorary co-chairs were State Victim’s Advocate Garvin G. Ambrose and state Rep. Mae Flexer of Danielson, who chairs the Connecticut Task Force on Domestic Violence.

“One in three women will expe-rience violence in their lifetime and I think it’s critical for the state to do whatever it can to help causes preventing domestic violence,” said Flexer, who earlier this month co-sponsored a bill to protect physically-impaired indi-viduals from sexual assault.

The featured speaker was Atty. Nancy Tyler, herself a survivor of domestic violence. At the banquet Tyler shared the story of how her husband Richard Shenkman held her at gunpoint for 12 hours in their South Windsor home before setting it on fire. Now an attorney, Tyler advocates for women suffer-ing in abusive relationships.

Over the last year there were more than 54,000 victims across the state who received services from domestic violence agencies. Of these, 1,364 adults and 1,038 children spent time in emergency housing because they were in grave and immediate danger.


Organizers estimated that the “Tee Off With Women to End Domestic Vio-lence” golf tournament raised more than $25,000 Tuesday and in its history has raised more than $50,000 to aid victims of domestic violence.

This story originally appeared at CTMirror.org, the website of The Connecticut Mirror, an independent nonprofit news organization covering government, politics and public policy in the state.

Graduate students and parents borrowing money for their children would have higher interest rates, 5.4 percent and 6.4 percent respectively.

Connecticut’s senators called this a “teaser” rate, noting that the rate

would rise as interest rates rise to a point where stu-dents could

no longer afford to pay back their loans.

Connecticut’s two Democratic senators, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, were among 18 sena-tors who voted “no” on the student loan bill.

They also objected to the fed-eral government’s profiting from the loans. A Congressional Budget Office estimate said the student loan bill approved by the Senate would bring the Treasury more than $715 million over 10 years, with most of that money coming in the later years, when interest rates were projected to be higher.

Supporting the Senate’s student loan bill is a bit of a political stretch for Courtney, who for years intro-duced bills that would freeze Stafford loan rates at 3.4 percent.

But Courtney said his support for the Senate deal comes “with the determination to revisit the issue” when Congress takes up the next higher education reauthorization bill, possibly next year.

“This bill is not the Ten Commandments. It’s not something that Congress can’t revisit,” Courtney said.

Meanwhile, Connecticut college officials are concerned that students will face loans with a 6.8 percent interest rate as they begin to register for fall courses unless Congress acts quickly.

“This is better than what was going to happen because rates were going to go up astronomically. So this deal is a better deal for students, even though you don’t know what will happen down the road, ” said Elsa M. Núñez, president of Eastern Connecticut State University and vice president of Connecticut’s state college and university system.

House OKs student loan dealConnecticut’s House delegation

split with the state’s U.S. senators Wednesday by voting for a bill that would lower interest rates on a popu-lar student loan – at least temporarily.

The House approved the student loan bill on a lopsided 392-31 vote.

Every member of Connecticut’s House delegation supported the bill, which would lower interest rates on Stafford loans, which had shot up July 1 to 6.8 percent for undergradu-ates. Interest rates would be higher, however, for graduates and parents who borrow on behalf of their chil-dren.

The deal lowers the rate for under-graduates to 3.86 percent. But it also ties the interest rate of Stafford loans to the value of U.S. Treasury bonds, which means rates are likely to rise as the economy recovers.

Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, led the effort to sell the plan to House Democrats.

Like many lawmakers who sup-ported the bill, Courtney said, “It isn’t perfect.”

But he said it was the best a divided Congress could do to help students enrolling for the fall term in the next few weeks.

“There will be real borrower cer-tainty and protection,” Courtney said.

The student loan bill is a compro-mise approved by the Senate earlier this month between Democrats who wanted to freeze the rate at 3.4 per-cent and Republicans who liked a GOP House bill that tied the loans to market interest rates.

Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, the state’s two Democratic senators, voted against the Senate deal because, they said, they were concerned rates would eventually rise so much that students would find it difficult to afford Stafford loans.

But Courtney said the Senate deal was a great improvement over a “reck-less” bill that House Republicans had approved in May “that would subject students to unpredictable rates that would reset annually throughout the life of the loan and cost Connecticut students and their families more.”

While loan rates on the Stafford program will fluctuate under the compromise, they will be frozen for the life of a loan. The deal also low-ered a cap on the interest rate, to 8.25 for undergraduates and higher for graduate students.

Courtney and other Connecticut Democrats who supported the bill, including Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-5th District, said the bill’s approval is not the end of the issue and that they hope Congress modifies the program again before interest rates go up too

much.Make no mistake, even with this

bill’s passage, there’s much more to be done to make college affordable,” Esty said.

Rep. John Larson, D-1st District, commended Courtney for “his lead-ership on this issue.”

“While the fight to reduce student debt is far from over, this bipartisan legislation provides much needed relief for our students and their fami-lies,” Larson said.

Although Courtney and other Democratic supporters of the bill insisted it is a major improvement over the Republican bill approved in May, House Speaker John Boehner said it is “almost identical.”

“Going forward, the whims of Washington politicians won’t dictate student loan interest rates, meaning more certainty and more opportuni-ties for students to take advantage of lower rates,” Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said.

The bill now goes to President Obama, who supports the legislation and is expected to sign it.

Climate report forecasts drastic changesHARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut environmental officials are warning

of dire consequences from climate change that will affect agriculture, dams and levees, waterfront habitats and public health.

For example, sea level rise will leave Hammonasset Beach State Park, among Connecticut’s most popular state parks, mostly inundated by sea water by the end of the century, according to a new report by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

Most agriculture in Connecticut is likely to be “highly impacted” by climate change “and most of these potential impacts are negative,” the report said.

Maple syrup, dairy, warm weather produce, shellfish and apple and pear production will be affected by changes in temperature and the abundance of rain or lack of it, which could reduce production yields, lead to con-tamination of agricultural goods such as shellfish and the need for costly infrastructure to compensate for the damage.

Climate change is “going to require some adaptation,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steven Reviczky.

“You can see what’s happening,” he said. “The intensity of storms is pretty significant. The damage has been equally significant.”

Connecticut was hit by three major storms in 14 months: Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011, followed by a freak nor’easter two months later and Superstorm Sandy in late October 2012. This summer, four tornadoes touched down in Connecticut, with one storm in north-central Connecticut on July 1 damaging tobacco netting and other farm equip-ment, buildings and crops.

The report said climate changes are projected to be less in the Northeast, particularly for rain and snow, than the rest of the country. Connecticut agriculture as a result can take advantage of the projected longer growing season.

Frieda M. (Bock) PencekFrieda M. (Bock) Pencek, widow of Leonard

D. Pencek of Hartford, died after a long illness on June 28, 2013. She was 84.

Mrs. Pencek was the daughter of Fred Bock of Jefferson City, Mo., and granddaughter of Adolph and Elizabeth Bock, and Hester Mae Verbal of Kingsport, Tenn., who was the daughter of James Walter Verbal and Amanda (Spurrier) Verbal. Frieda was born in Kansas City, Mo., and as a child lived in Tennessee and

Virginia, where she gradu-ated from Manchester High School in Richmond, Va. in 1946. She married Leonard D. Pencek of Hartford in 1952 and resided in Hartford and Newington, Conn., for 41 years before moving to California in 1993.

She was active for many years in various civic and political organizations in Newington, and in a state-wide widowed support group in Connecticut. She worked for six years at the Newington Children’s Hospital and 17 years at Aetna Life & Casualty in Harford, retiring in 1989.

She is survived by her son, Thomas L. Pencek of Palo Alto, Calif.; two grandsons, Brice L. Pencek and Joshua B. Pencek of Indianapolis, Ind.; a granddaughter, Mrs. Amanda Dornfeld of Columbus, Ind.; three great-grandchil-dren, Luke David, Noah Andrew, and Violet Grace Dornfeld, all of Columbus; a niece, Patsy Russo of Jeffersontown, N.Y., nephews, James Barkman and Clifford Gibbens, all of Florida, and a cousin, Robert Saylor Jr. of Englishtown, N.J.

Arrangements for a Celebration of Life are pending at this time. A private burial, at Mt. St. Benedict Cemetery in Bloomfield, Conn., is planned.

Malloy on $537M for DOT projects: It’s roads, it’s bridges — and it’s jobs

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy cast the annual approval of bonding for transportation proj-ects Friday as a $537 million booster shot for the economy that will create thousands of construction jobs and renew tired infra-structure.

“I’ve said this before, but I think it’s something that bears repeating: Many of the projects we approve at these meetings create jobs for Connecticut residents,” Malloy said.

Malloy spoke after the monthly meet-ing of the State Bond Commission, a final and typically perfunctory step in providing funding for projects already approved by the General Assembly and reviewed by the administration.

He sounded a theme likely to echo through his 2014 re-election campaign, though the first-term Democratic governor remained coy about his timetable for offi-cially becoming a candidate.

“It’s in the future – and not relatively close,” Malloy said.

Malloy appears confident he can afford to wait and still easily raise the $250,000 in small-dollar donations necessary to qualify for public financing. After running in 2006 and 2010, Malloy has an extensive donor base.

Senate Minority Leader John P. McKinney, R-Fairfield, who also intends to seek public financing, announced his candi-dacy Tuesday. It is McKinney’s first attempt at statewide office.

Malloy did not directly comment on

McKinney’s entrance into the race for governor, but he strongly defended his administration’s approach to economic development. McKinney criticized Malloy for offering grants and loans to major employers.

The governor said the state has provided assistance to 900 companies in his first term, compared with 119 aided in the eight years before he took office.

“The vast, vast, vast majority of those are small businesses,” Malloy said. “That was a tool box I put together. That was a program I championed.” Malloy said he would prefer not to offer public subsidies to entice com-panies to move to or expand in Connecticut, but he must to compete with other gover-nors and other states.

“I’ve been very clear throughout my polit-ical career that if all states were to absent themselves from these programs, I would join that movement overnight,” he said.

But Malloy made equally clear he is not ready to be labeled a candidate.

“I’ve got a job to do,” Malloy said, waving off questions about re-election.

On Friday, part of that job was reinforc-ing his administration’s message that it is aggressively maintaining and modernizing transportation infrastructure as it encour-ages job growth in a state that has recovered only half the jobs lost in the 2008 recession.

Special transportation bonds backed by revenue from the gasoline tax typically are approved at the July meeting of the Bond Commission, allowing the Department of Transportation to prepare bids on a long list

of projects necessary to maintain the state’s highways and bridges.

“Much of the funding will be used to leverage about $600 million in federal trans-portation aid to update, strengthen and improve the safety of Connecticut’s high-ways, bridges, rail and transit systems,” Malloy said.

This year’s list of projects includes the widening of I-84 in Waterbury, providing long-sought relief for a bottleneck between exits 22 and 25A. It was added after other projects were completed under budget.

“It’s a function of good prices, good management,” said James P. Redeker, the commissioner of transportation.

Also on the list is 250 miles of repaving, including stretches of I-84 in Vernon and I-95 in Groton, the reconstruction of exits 5 and 6 on I-84 in Danbury, and the con-tinued construction of the Q Bridge, which carries I-95 across New Haven Harbor.

The transportation funds include $143 million for bus and rail improvements, $113 million for interstate highways, $44 million for intrastate highways, $30 million for local roads and $93.8 million for work on about 40 bridges.

The combined state and federal spending will create or retain nearly 20,000 construc-tion-related jobs, Malloy said.

Entitled “Winged Things Again,” the exhibit will feature pho-tographs of birds and butterflies. A naturalist by avocation, Zartarian has been chasing birds and butterflies for many years. He has led nature walks and field trips for Farmington’s Hill-stead Museum, Hartford’s Cedar Hill Cemetery, Windsor’s Northwest Park, as well as the Hartford Audubon Soci-ety, the Lucy Robbines Welles Library and Newington Parks and Recreations department. He has presented several informational programs on winged things to schools, garden clubs and other organizations. The Connecti-cut Audubon Society selected his photographs for its exhibits at the now defunct Essex Eagle Festival. His photographs appear in three species accounts in the online Butterflies and Moths of North America Project. Also, the Vermont Natural Heritage Inven-tory now holds several of Zartarian’s photographs as documentation of the first known nesting of Sandhill cranes at a site in northern Vermont. Cur-rently the president of the Connecticut Butterfly Association, he is a member of the Hartford and Connecticut Audu-bon Societies, the Connecticut Orni-thological Association, and is active in Newington’s Save Cedar Mountain movement. He has also assisted in compiling environmental surveys for grassroots open space preservation efforts in Rocky Hill and New London.
