NEWINGTON — It tookthree ballots, but Democrat RickLopes eventually won his party’snomination Tuesday night for the24th District House seat.Lopes,whowas challengingNew

Britain Mayor Pro Tem MichaelTrueworthy andNewBritain Boardof Education Chairman SharonBeloin-Saavedra, received sevenvotes, a simple majority,on the thirdand final ballot at the convention,held at Newington Town Hall.The first ballot had Lopes with

five and Trueworthy and Beloin-

Saavedra with four each.Trueworthy withdrew his name

after receiving three votes in thesecond ballot to Lopes’ six and fourfor Beloin-Saavedra.The delegates were chosen by

the Democratic town committeesin New Britain and Newington— specifically 11 delegates rep-resented New Britain while tworepresented Newington. The finaltally Tuesday was Lopes, sevenvotes and Beloin-Saavedra, six.Lopes, 40, a New Britain

resident and project manag-er for the state Department ofAdministrative Services, said hisfive-week campaign would focus

on education. Lopes will face-offagainst Peter Steele in the Jan.10 special election. The winnerwill replace Timothy O’Brien, whovacated his seat after he was elect-ed mayor of New Britain earlierthis month. Both Trueworthy andBeloin-Saavedra threw their sup-port behind Lopes, ruling out arun as a petition candidate.The 24th District covers a third

of the city including Wards 1,2and 5. It also includes a portion ofthe southern end of Newington,which is District 5.Following his nomination

Tuesday, Lopes said he would beready to hit the ground runningshould he win the special election.“The job of a state representa-

tives is to bring state aid to theircity,” Lopes said. “I want to con-centrate on education funding.”Lopes has owned a West

Hartford-based property man-agement for 18 years. He saidhis business background willenable him to have “a thoughtfuland pragmatic approach to statebudgeting.”

The police chiefs fromWethersfield, Newington, Crom-well, Berlin and Rocky Hill,known as the Mid-State ChiefGroup — are hoping to secure agrant to create a regional crimeinvestigation unit.Each of the chiefs is requesting

the support of their local gov-ernments, including NewingtonPolice Chief Richard Mulhall,who asked the Town Council lastweek for a resolution in support ofthe initiative.The council will vote on it at

their next meeting, Dec. 13.The proposed Mid-State

Regional Crime Scene Unitwould service all five commu-nities, comprised of more than110,000 residents.According to the memorandum

given to Town Council, the unitwould provide a number of ben-efits to crime scene investigationin the area.“It’s going to supply a better

service to the communities over-all,” said Mulhall.“There will be more work per-

formed on a regular basis, it willkeep the skill level higher andhave a cost benefit over the longterm.”The group claims the unit’s

establishment will improve

forensic evidence collection, time-liness, quality and accuracy incrime scene processing, enhancedtechnology systems and central-ized police officer training, amongother advancements.Its inception also involves the

creation of a “mobile field unit”as a work station to house equip-ment and communications as wellas provide officers with a placeto conduct field work under anyconditions.The five towns in their totality

made 6,400 arrests in the past twoyears for murder, rape, robbery,burglary, auto theft, larceny andassault — those classified as Part1 Crimes. Many of these offensesrequire crime scene processing,which is what the unit would spe-cialize in conducting.The grant would not require

any local funding, but the depart-mentsneed their towns’permissionto move forward with applyingfor the $350,546 in RegionalPerformance Incentive Funding,to be issued by the state.The majority of the funding

needed would go toward purchas-ing the vehicle the unit wouldwork out of. It is a competi-tive grant bid, with other townslooking to enhance their regionalservices in areas from public worksto police departments.In 2007, the Mid-State Chiefs

Group applied for and receiveda Surplus Funding Grant. Theyused it to create the Mid-StateRegional Accident/CommercialEnforcement Team, which trainsofficers in accident reconstructionand commercial traffic enforce-ment. The group reports thatthe program is a success and hasexceeded its expectations, thusprompting this new application.“We’re hoping the state sees that

as a success story,” said Mulhall.“We know they’ve tracked uspretty closely and seen what we’vebeen able to do with it.”Mulhall is confident in the new

proposal. “We think it hits theright areas that the grant focuseson so we’ll get a serious look,” hesaid. But if their offer is rejected,they still hope to implement theunit some other way, through adifferent set of funds.If approved, the unit would

allow the departments to improvetheir current capabilities, sharepersonnel and resources, and pro-cess and document major crimesin a more professional manner,according to the grant proposal.The unit will consist of eight to

10 officers (between one and threefrom each town) and be man-aged by the local chiefs of police.They estimate that if the grant isreceived, the team would beginservice Sept. 1.

SOUTHINGTON—ANewington woman on probation for doz-ens of fraudulent drug purchases is free on bond following her arrest lastweek on charges she used a relative’s name to purchase narcotic coughsyrup at least eight times in town, police said.Lori Matteson, 34, of 112 Eagle Lane, continued to fill fraudulent

prescriptions even as police from several area towns were issuing war-rants for her arrest on similar charges, court records indicate.Matteson is accused by Southington police of purchasing cough syrup

with Hydrocodone at least eight times by using the name of a relativewho reported to authorities that her namewas being used to fill prescrip-tions, police Sgt. Lowell DePalma said.The incidents occurred in 2010 and into this year in New Britain,

Newington, Plainville,Windsor and Glastonbury.

Tucked in the back lot ofMarketSquare is a hidden treasure thatstill greases its antique machineson Sundays, smells balmy like oldshoe polish and churns leathergoods through ‘til they’re goodas new.When the construction busi-

ness started getting slow, GaetanoFazio began learning the shoerepair trade part-time. He openedFazio Shoe & Luggage Repair &Retail in 1977 — 13 years after hemoved to the Hartford area fromSicily, Italy.From the very first custom-

ers who walked through his doorback then, to the younger gen-eration who now bring in theirleather handbags, a large clienteleneed the services he and wife,Cecile, provide. Fazio is one of theonly shoe repair shops left aroundthese parts.“Some of my customers that

came when I opened have movedout of state, but from time totime they mail me their shoes,”Fazio said.He can repair anything leather,

but takes care of a lot of shoes, lug-gage, purses and jackets. He canmend soles, heels, stretch shoes ifthey’re too narrow, tighten boots

if they’re too loose around calves,and tend to every type of ortho-pedic need.“They bring in notes from their

doctor saying what the problemis,”Fazio said.This week, one cus-tomer’s leg happened to be longerthan the other, so Fazio is crafting

a shoe solution.But his work is challenging and

the shoe repair industry is nottoo lucrative, which is why Faziois the only one left in the areabesides a few shops in Hartford.A $5 job might take an hour todo. But to Fazio, it’s worth it. He

also operates a small retail shopnext door that sells new items— shoes, outerwear, luggage andmore.The machines used to mend

items — cut soles, stitch hems,buff heels — are from the 1920’sand ’40s — at the latest. But they

are still in perfect condition andrun better than the fancy newones, just like your favorite pairof old leather boots or the wornbriefcase that Fazio can restore togood-as-new.But be warned, you won’t leave

without a proper buff and shine —and a happy face. “People alwaysleave here with a smile,” says Fazio.

“I’ve been around forever.That’swhat makes a good business,” hecontinued. “I’ll probably be herefor many years to come. I’ll prob-ably die while my machines arerunning.”Fazio Shoe & Luggage Repair

& Retail is located at 214-216Market Square Rear. (860) 667-2856. The store is open Tuesday,Wednesday, Friday, 8 a.m. to5:30 p.m., and open until 7 p.m.Thursday and 3 p.m. Saturday.

2005, while others increased.Overall, the grand list declined byabout $104 million or 4 percent,requiring an increase in the milrate to offset this negative change.To determine the tax liability ofany property, the property assess-ment will be multiplied by the

town’s mill rate.Town Assessor Steve Juda

presented the results to TownCouncil last week. “We were get-ting the top of the market, nowalmost nightly real estate valuesdrop,” he explained.Councilor Clarke Castelle

inquiredwhyhome values dropped

significantly but commercialproperties increased, especiallyduring the recession over the lastfew years.“In Newington, the Berlin

Turnpike is still a hot market,people are still anxious to getthere,” responded Juda.Unlike single-family homes,

which are appraised on compa-rable sales, apartments are valuedby the rental income they pro-duce, said Juda. “Over the last fewyears, through misfortune peoplelost their homes, so apartmentshave seen increased occupancy,”he explained.On the other hand, commer-

cial properties (like Sam’s and StewLeonards on the Turnpike) paytaxes based on what it costs to renttheir buildings, so their propertyvalues have generally remained at orabove what they were last time.In July, new property tax bills

will be produced reflecting thesechanged values, combined withresults from personal property andmotor vehicle assessments.Residents and business owners

have been mailed their revaluationsfor review. If they disagree withtheir assessment, they can take anumber of steps to dispute it, so asnot to face a raise in their propertytaxes next year.The first step would be to call

Tyler Technologies in Tolland, thecompany that conducted the assess-ments in collaboration with the

assessor’s office. This will initiatean informal hearing to discuss thefactors that may have contributedto any oversights in the revaluationprocess.Hearings will be held in thelower level of Town Hall throughDec. 16. Associates from the com-pany will not know what the newmill rate will be — that will bedetermined by Town Council afterthey set a new budget in April.The next step would be to appeal

to the twon. “By Jan. 20, you mustappeal to the Board of AssessmentAppeals,” said Juda, who will signthe grand list on Jan. 31, 2012,pret-ty much finalizing the revaluation.If denied at a board hearing in

March, property owners can appealto Superior Court through Sept.30, 2012. “The court usually enter-tains a compromise between whatthe owner feels their property isworth and what the assessor feelsit’s worth,” Juda said. “We had 35court appeals from the last revalua-tion,”he continued.“On average thereduction in assessment was 10 per-cent due to court activity.”For moreinformation, contact the Assessor’sOffice at (860) 665-8530.

By ERICA SCHMITTSTAFF WRITER

Peyton Elizabeth Binder wasborn Sept. 4, 2008. Just 28 dayslater, she died of congenital infantleukemia, an extremely rare con-dition. Her parents Andrew andKristin Binder of Burlington arecarrying on Peyton’s spirit by sup-porting other families with criticallyill infants through their initiative,Doing Good in Her Name.Just by chance, a parent whose

child attends St. Mary’s School in

Newington read about how theorganization donates money, infantclothing and other baby items tofamilies in need and saw a chancefor the students to help.St. Mary’s runs “A Cuddle and a

Prayer Blankie Ministry.” The kidscreate colorful and cozy fleece blan-kets for children in need. Whenstudents heard about the Binders’local work in Danbury Hospital’sNeonatal Intensive Care Unit andother area hospitals, they decidedto donate 10 of their handmadetreasures to Danbury’s NICU.

“These amazing little kids makethese blankets,” said Kristin Binder.“You’d be amazed at what a differ-ence a handmade blanket makes fora family … anybody would rathersee their child laying on somethinghandmade than on a hospital sheet.”And the Binders know firsthand.“When we went into the hospital

to have Peyton we had no idea thatanything was wrong.When she wasborn they told me I had a beautifullittle girl, but then minutes latershe was rushed away,” remembersKristin. “We were caught in the midst of an unimaginably terrible

situation where there was very littlehope,but the outpouring of supportfrom people was incredible.”As the family held on hope that

their daughter might live, others inthe hospital prayed and one evenoffered them a handmade quilt oftheir own. After Peyton passed away,the Binders knew the only way tokeep her memory alive was to helpother families in the same way.And now the 102 students in

kindergarten through eighth gradeat St. Mary’s School also have thepeace of knowing they brought

comfort to these families, too.“The excitement and joy that

is present during our blankie-making sessions is very moving,”said art teacher and ministry guideLori Oleasz. “No sooner do theyoung missionaries complete theirblankies and they are asking, “Whoelse needs blankies?”“When can wemake more?”They truly enjoy serv-ing and have had the privilege ofseeing their good works bear fruit.”The Binders now have

9-month-old twins.To learn moreabout Doing Good in Her Name:www.doinggoodinhername.com.
