Hundreds of voters have spoken, and theywant to see Kennedy and DePaolo middleschools renovated.

Residents showed significant support onMarch 19 during a second referendum on theproject, with 1,377 voters supporting the new$89.7 million budget and 334 opposing. Sixpercent of the town’s 28,135 eligible votersturned out.

“The resounding (more than 4-1) result,it’s a terrific day to be the Superintendent ofSouthington Public Schools,” School Super-

intendent Joseph V. Erardi Jr. said.The second referendum was needed to ap-

prove an additional $4.7 million for the revi-talization of Kennedy and DePaolo middleschools. Voters had originally approved $85million for the projects at referendum in No-vember 2011. Since the project began the pre-construction phase, the Middle School Build-ing Committee ran into an unexpected proj-ect cost overrun of $8.9 million and the needto remove polychlorinated biphenyls at acost of $6 million that pushed the budget

For 15 years, the schoolsystem has been contractingtrained professionals in ap-plied behavioral analysisthrough the Capitol RegionEducation Council to workwith children with autismand developmental problems.It was decided Thursday, tosome dismay from parents,that the school system willeliminate CREC and hire itsown staff.

During public commentbefore the meeting’s officialstart, several fathers spokeagainst running the program

Grant will give program a leg upin physically active classroomsBy Julie Sopchak

The Southington Citizen

After a pilot program atHatton Elementary School ofthe Physically Active SchoolSystem program has seem-ingly yielded positive re-sults, the program got aboost from Anthem BlueCross Blue Shield Founda-tion in the form of $24,000 onMarch 18.

Second grade Hatton fac-ulty and staff members re-ceived training for the pro-gram last summer, in whichthey learned a variety of dif-ferent activities that incor-porate physical activity intheir daily lesson plans. Ide-ally, the extra movement al-lows kids to expend built-upenergy, and also creates a

more honed focus on whatthey’re learning.

“Now we’re looking toprogress with this wholeidea and initiative through-out the school system,” saidMarcia Phelps, physical edu-cation teacher at Hatton andFlanders elementaryschools.

The grant money will gotowards training teachers,and the program will bespread out amongst the restof the district’s schools intime. The district teamed upwith Southington Communi-ty YMCA to help train andgive activity ideas to teach-ers.

Dave Donnelly, grantwriter for the Y, said therehas been no official data to goalong with the program’s re-

sults at Hatton, but there wascertainly a common consen-sus of change.

“[A] realization fromteachers that there was some-thing different going on inthe classroom,” he said.

The program is part of alarger town-wide initiative,Activate Southington, whichaims to enlighten communitymembers of all ages on howto lead a healthy lifestyle.The PASS program just fo-cuses on the child componentof the organization’s mis-sion.

Residents oppose sidewalk rule changeBy Eric Heredia

Special to The Citizen

More than 20 peopleshowed up to the Town Coun-cil Ordinance Committee’smeeting Thursday to opposea proposed ordinance changethat would take 12 streets offthe list of school-access side-walks, giving them the re-sponsibility for sidewalkmaintenance and clearingsnow and ice.

Operations Director FredCox said the town follows thestate guidelines on distancesfor students to walk to andfrom school: one mile for stu-

dents in kindergartenthrough fifth grade; 1.5 milesfor sixth- to eighth-graders;and two miles for high schoolstudents.

Councilor ChristopherPalmieri asked Cox what con-stitutes a school-access walk.

“If the sidewalk was in-stalled as part of the schoolproject to aid in the safe trav-el to and from school, that is aschool-access walk,” Coxsaid. “That was done at mostif not all schools in town, in1960s and ’70s.”

Cox said that when he putin a request to designateschool-access sidewalks

along Woodruff Street at thesouth end of DePaolo MiddleSchool, he was informed that,sometime in mid-1990s, thetown had done away with theschool-access road program.

New sidewalks would haveto be funded through thebudget process and theschool system would be ex-pected to maintain the walks,Cox said.

Section 17-2 of the towncode of ordinances coversthe maintenance, repair andreplacement of school-accesssidewalks authorized andconstructed after Sept. 1,1994.

Councilor Cheryl Louns-

bury asked Town AttorneyMark Sciota about sidewalksbuilt before 1994. “By not des-ignating them school-accesswalks, they no longer fit intothis category,” Sciota said ofthe potential change.

Lounsbury read letters ofopposition from residents ofsidewalks that would be af-fected by the ordinancechange. Vito and TeresaColaninno’s letter says thatKennedy Middle School is 0.8miles from their home onNorton Street and that theirchildren were walkers whenthey attended the school. Itsays that the sidewalks are indire need of repair and have

been neglected for the past 52years.

South End Road residentColleen Clark’s letter says sheunderstands and applaudsthe town’s efforts to save mon-ey, but she wondered how“homeowners on South EndRoad can be made to main-tain the sidewalk when thetown supposedly owns theproperty at either side of thesidewalk. When the side-walks were put in 20 years orso ago we were told that sincethe town owns 15 feet from theroad bed, no permission fromthe homeowners was neededto put in the sidewalks.”

Clark said she has had tocut the grass on either side ofthe sidewalk, but has not hadto clear snow and ice sinceshe doesn’t own the sidewalk.The ordinance change wouldnot transfer property owner-ship, just responsibility forclearing and maintaining thesidewalks.

Prices BetterThan The BigBox Stores

Myth #1“We will install your whole house for $39.” Do youreally believe that’s all they are charging? It’s ashell game! They increase the price of the carpet& pad to cover the $39 “charge” of installation.

Myth #2“Buy one room of carpet and get 2 rooms free.”Another shell game, probably the most outrageouslie. Nothing is free! Who’s paying for that ad?

Myth #3“Buy one room of carpet and I’ll do your wholeneighborhood for free” I just threw that inbecause evidently “they” believe “you” will believeanything!

The contest challengesstudents in grades 4 through12 across the nation to con-duct research and write anessay offering investment ad-vice. The question this yearput Murdy in the role of abusiness reporter whowrites for a newspaper orblog and he had to “an-

nounce a new-breaking eventand its impact on a compa-ny’s stock or bond,” accord-ing to the SIFMA Founda-tion, which runs the compe-tition.

Murdy said he researchedfor three weeks and wrotehis essay about Facebook’sadvertisement industry.

“I found out that theymade money through adsand one of the best is theFacebook Exchange,” Murdysaid. “It allowed them tomake trades between othercorporations to help get per-sonal information aboutFacebook users. They couldpost ads about what you

Erardi explained thatCREC is only meant to sup-port school systems. It’s thereto aid in a transition, to “holdyour hand and move on.” Hesaid CREC has been holdingthe school system’s hand toolong.

Board members voiced con-cerns as well, and asked ques-tions about the change.

One of board member Ter-ry Lombardi’s concerns washow children’s success wouldbe measured. She wanted toknow what CREC used tomeasure student achieve-ment. No one at the meetingwas able to answer that ques-tion.

Board Chairman BrianGoralski asked Perri Murdi-ca, senior coordinator of pupilpersonnel services, to contactCREC as soon as possible fordetails of its assessment pro-cedures. Goralski said theschool system has been payingCREC for years to support itschildren and the agencyshould be able to provide ad-ministrators with that infor-mation.

When the last questionshad been answered, though, itwas clear that the board sup-ported the change in the pro-gram and believed it wouldbenefit the children.

Also at the Thursday’smeeting, teachers and admin-istrators presented informa-tion from this year’s BringYour Own Devices pilot pro-gram. Teachers describedhow students handled bring-ing their own cell phones, e-readers and tablets into theclassroom. They said every-thing went well, students wereengaged, they did their home-work, and actually read more.

Old Southington building proves a hard sellBy Eric Heredia


After more than a year, theBeecher Street building thatused to house the Board ofEducation’s administrativeoffices has still not sold.

The real estate listing forthe property expired lastyear. It was taken off the mar-ket and the town will proba-bly pursue a direct sale with-out an agent, Town Manager

Garry Brumback said.Brumback said he doesn’t

think the town will set an ask-ing price and may just seewhat the market brings.

Diana McDougall, a real es-tate agent hired to sell thebuilding initially, said shehad one person who was ex-tremely interested, but thesale didn’t come to fruition.She believes the problem wasthe $400,000 asking price, un-certainty over the cost of ren-

ovating the building, and anunderground oil tank thatmay need to be removed.

“Buyers want to knowwhat’s there,” she said,adding the cost of removingasbestos is also unknown.

Housing Authority Execu-tive Director Steve Palmieriestimated that the cost to ren-ovate the building would be inthe millions, based on similarprojects. The town was con-sidering senior housing as anoption for the property.

Brumback said on Fridaythat a buyer would have tomake significant renovationsand bring it up to code, includ-ing compliance with theAmerican Disabilities Act.

“It’s a real challenging lay-out,” he said of the three-sto-ry building with two rest-rooms offset between the firstand second floors and anotherbefore the roof. He said it’s anobsolete structure and didn’tmeet the board’s needs, so theboard moved to the renovatedNorth Center School building.

Edward Cook, 68, has livedacross the street from thebuilding for 10 years. He said

he would welcome housingfor seniors, as he has beenlooking for a location himselfbut can’t find anything af-fordable.

Hospital cradles March of Dimes initiative for healthier babiesThe Hospital of Central

Connecticut is cradling aninitiative with the March ofDimes and other area hospi-tals that reinforces the im-portance and value of babiesbeing delivered at full-term,namely 39 weeks.

Through the March ofDimes’ 39-plus Weeks Quali-ty Improvement ServicePackage, HOCC is boostingits efforts to track deliverydates and help increase thevalue of full-term deliverythrough patient and staff ed-ucation.

The initiative comple-ments the hospital’s ongoingefforts toward full-term de-

liveries, says obstetrician/gynecologist ChristopherMorosky, M.D., director ofHOCC’s Outpatient Women’sHealth Clinics. “We had thatrevelation and understand-ing years ago. By doing thiswith the March of Dimes, weare formally re-establishingour commitment to thisgoal,” he says.

Other Hartford Health-Care system entities that arepart of the March of Dimesquality improvement initia-tive are Hartford Hospitaland MidState Medical Cen-ter.

With the program, HOCC’sFerdinand Sauer, M.D., of

Family BirthPlace is collect-ing delivery data from March1 to March 1, 2014 and empha-sizing patient and staff edu-cation through webinars andspeakers.

Family BirthPlace alreadyoffers childbirth, newbornand sibling classes. Histori-cally, HOCC staff membershave also supported theMarch of Dimes program,which focuses on improvingbabies’ health, through itsMarch for Babies events.

On the March of Dimes2012 Premature Birth ReportCard, Connecticut received a“B” grade. The organizationhas its 2020 goal for pretermbirth rate at 9.6 percent; for2012, Connecticut was at 10.1percent.

Nationally, the pretermbirth rate is 10 to 12 percent,says Morosky, who notespreterm deliveries often re-sult from the baby’s or moth-

er’s condition, such aspreeclampsia (high bloodpressure).

Delivering at full-term,Morosky says, allows for thenatural onset of labor, whichdecreases medical interven-tions such as labor inductionor assistance or need for Cae-sarean section. The hospitalhas an ongoing medical re-view process for patients be-ing scheduled for deliveriesbefore 39 weeks. If an early

term induction is not med-ically indicated, delivery isnot scheduled before 39weeks.

“Not every baby born at 37or 38 weeks has problems,but the risk of problems isgreater at 37 or 38 weeks,”says Scott Weiner, M.D., aneonatologist and director ofthe HOCC’s nurseries. Risksinclude respiratory distress,

Renowned landscape designer Maureen Haseley-Jones isembarking on a statewide quest, through her lecture series titled“Garden Earth,” to reconnect people’s hearts and hands with thenourishing energy of Mother Nature’s life giving gardens. Also knownas The English Lady, Ms. Haseley-Jones is a sought after and highlyrespected lecturer, writer, and radio gardening expert heardmonthly on WRCH Radio Lite100.5 FM by thousands of dedicatedfans throughout Connecticut.

In her naturally humorous and upbeat manner, The English Lady willteach how each of us can oxygenate our environment and feed our souls

in a co-creative and symbiotic relationship with theEarth. She will teach not only how to create abeautiful garden that flourishes but more importantlyhow to maintain it organically and without the use ofharmful poisons. But even closer to her heart, TheEnglish Lady will discuss ways in which we can, throughour garden’s living spirit, become grounded in ourbodies, inspired to reach beyond them, and connect at adeeper level of our beings with the meaning and purposeof Mother Nature and her changing seasons.

Home Living Connecticut magazine calls Ms. Haseley-Jones “a charming Brit who designssome of Connecticut’s most distinctive gardens.”

The New York Times says “one of life’s most unexpected experiences is discussing manurewith an English Baroness...”

Connecticut Magazine says, “We’ve always assumed landscape designers to be such tweedytypes. Our mistake, there is nothing tweedy or reserved about Maureen Haseley-Jones, aka TheEnglish Lady.”

“We’re voting ‘yes’ today,”Bob Tessier said as hewalked into the Derynoskigym with his wife, Elieen.

“We think education is im-portant, of course,” ElieenTessier said. “Even thoughwe’re retired, we want tocome and vote.”

Bob and Elieen Tessierhave two grandchildren inthe school system and wantto make sure they can benefitfrom the new facilities.

Erardi stopped byDerynoski School shortly af-ter 1:30 p.m. to see how theprocess was going. Erardihas been a strong advocatefor the project and met withparent-teacher organiza-tions, civic groups, staff andteachers to inform themabout it.

On Monday he sent out arecorded message to parents,

reminding them of the refer-endum. He had a few callsTuesday morning, with par-ents asking him if the refer-endum was still being heldbecause of the weather.

“I reassured members ofthe community that the voteis still on,” Erardi said.

Sheila Burbank, an assis-tant registrar, sat at a table inthe Derynoski gym equippedwith a book to read. It wasabout 2 p.m. and she hadbeen at the polling placesince 6 a.m. and planned tobe there until the final countTuesday night.

“I’m 90 and I hope I get tosee the renovations fin-ished,” Shelia Burbank said.

Shortly before 8 p.m. townand school officials, mem-bers of the Board of Educa-tion and others had filed intothe gym, anxiously waitingfor the results. School boardmember David Derynoskitried to guess what the out-come would be with howmany voters approved theproject.

At approximately 8:10 theresults were announced, andalthough most weren’t sur-prised that it passed, theywere surprised by the mar-gin.

“I knew it was going topass,” Derynoski said. “His-torically, Southington sup-ports education. (The 4-1

margin) goes to show whatthe community thinks of ed-ucation.”

Brian Goralski, the schoolboard chairman and a mem-ber of the building commit-tee, clapped his hands andshouted, “Yes!” with thenews. He began to call to tellhis fellow building commit-tee members of the over-whelming results and thattheir hard work had paid off.

“I want to make those 334people proud,” Goralski saidof the voters who disap-

proved the new budget.PCB abatement is sched-

uled to start after the last dayof school in June and theproject should be completeby the fall of 2016.

at Derynoski ElementarySchool and also a partnercoach with ActivateSouthington, said the mis-sion is to change the mindsetof what healthy living is.

“Kids are in front of thetelevision or playing theirgames, we want them toknow about getting out thereand being healthy and beingactive and this is the perfectthing,” Verderame said.

Jim Augur, vice presidentof sales at Anthem, said theprogram is a good step for-

ward to help communitieskeep kids active and preventchildhood obesity, somethinghe said is an epidemic in thecountry in a time whenlifestyles are changing.

“I think we really have theopportunity to take a leader-ship position and affectchange,” he said.

“We’re living in such asedentary world of youngadults,” said Superintendentof Schools Joseph V. Erardi.“If there’s an opportunity formeaningful movement in theclassroom to help youngstersmove and learn, that’s just ano-brainer.”

“Spinal stenosis” is a condition caused by a narrowing in the vertebralcanal or vertebral foramina of the spine that leads to compression ofeither the spinal cord or the nerve roots that exit the spinal cord. As aresult, patients most often experience pain and numbness in theirextremities, usually the legs and feet. This condition is usually seen inmen and women over the age of 50, particularly among those whoperform intensive manual labor. The most common cause of thisdisorder is degenerative disease of the spine. Chiropractic treatmentcan help by manipulating the spine in a way that leads todecompression, which restores the natural flow of blood and nervoussystem impulses within the spine.By utilizing chiropractic techniques, many vertebral imbalances, suchas spinal stenosis, can be reduced or eliminated. Please call us at (860)621-2225 for a consultation. We’re located at 200 Queen St. We offeraffordable healthcare for the whole family. The answers you need. Thecare you deserve.

P.S. Symptoms of spinal stenosis includeweakness of the arms or legs, or numbing orcramping sensations.

GOP smokescreen

To the editor:The Republican-con-

trolled Town Council andits chairman, John Dob-bins, are continuing to dis-mantle Southington’s citi-zen involvement in Boardsand Commissions. Aftermaking the Senior CitizensCommission virtually use-less, with less meetings andoversight, Republicans nowwant to eliminate involve-ment for the other citizenboards and commissions. Isthe Republican Party look-ing to create a new form ofmayoral government forSouthington, without anyoversight, and avoiding anelection by the people?

The Republican-drivenfiscal argument that “thereis no accountability” is a

smoke screen. The TownCharter already gives finalsay regarding the budget tothe appointed town manag-er before it goes to the GOP-dominated Board of Fi-nance and then to the TownCouncil. This smoke screenis for the public to blameothers because the Republi-cans want to hide fromtheir reckless spending.

At the Town Councilmeeting on March 11, Dob-bins refused to publicly saywhat he intended to changein the Town Charter. How-ever, he did not hide his in-tention to the members ofthe town council, all behindclosed doors. We need trans-parency and honestly withthe voters. No more games.

Southington commissionmembers do not get paid.Therefore, the commentthat there would be a sav-

ings has no merit. The pres-ent charter dictates that alldepartment budgets mustgo to the town manager andthe Board of Finance andthen to the Town Councilfor approval. The checksand balances that were putin place in the formation ofthe charter have served thistown well.

Many towns and citiesacross the country wantcivilian oversight of its po-lice, fire and other munici-pal departments. The peo-ple of Southington need tohave more say, not less likethe Republicans want.

Southington should notmake the town manager’sposition a quasi-mayoralposition. One person who isnot elected should not haveall the power.

Southington’s Malone goes out as triple crown champGymnast will continue her career at Air Force Academy

By Sean KrofssikSpecial to The Citizen

All around, Erin Malonemade a bigimpact in herlone year as aSouthingtonHigh Schoolgymnast.

L i t e r a l l y,all-around.

The seniorpulled off agymnastics Triple Crown inwinning the CIAC Class Lall-around championship,sharing the State Open all-around crown and then cap-turing the all-around cham-pionship at the New EnglandOpen.

Malone won the latterevent, held last weekend atAlgonquin Regional High

School in Northborough,Mass., with a score of 37.850.She finished first on barsand vault with scores of 9.65and 9.60, respectively.

“It was a great feeling towin all three end-of-the-yeartitles,” the senior said afterreturning home. “I think it’sa starting point for the team.They’ve had off seasons thepast few years. This seasonbrought the program backup. We just have to keepworking harder and we willhave more success withthat.”

“She left a big legacyhere,” Southington gym-nastic coach Kaitlyn O’Don-nell said. “It’s pretty hard towin all three. I think she’sthe second person to do thatin Southington history. It’sa great accomplishment. She

has been very consistent allyear and it carried into thepostseason.”

Indeed, Malone is thesecond Blue Knight gymnastto pull off the trifecta. KristyDougan won all three all-around crowns - Class, Stateand New England - in 2005.Yvette Mirando wasSouthington’s most recentNew England all-aroundchamp. She did it in 2006. O’-Donnell said Malone was amodel of consistency at thisyear’s New England Open,leading the Blue Knights to afourth-place finish in theteam standings.

“Erin did awesome,” O’-Donnell said. “She was veryclean and consistent and did-n’t have any falls. She did ex-actly what she knew how todo.”

The Southington HighSchool cheerleaders com-

peted in the seventh annualNew England champi-

onships this past weekend.In Connecticut, the top

three teams in each divi-sion from the six state com-

petitions qualified for theregional event. The Blue

Knights did not place at theNew Englands, but turned

in some great work thiswinter. The SHS cheerlead-ers earned a fifth consecu-

tive Central ConnecticutConference West Division

title and finished third atthe state competition in theco-ed division, which is theprogram’s best ever show-ing at states. Southington

flyers Brielle Lynch, KayceeBelanger and Courtney

Clavette, and their team-mates, are pictured in ac-tion at the New Englands.

The next step for Malonewould have been Nationals,but because she wasn’t amember of the Blue Knightsfor two years, she was not eli-gible.

In the meantime Malone,who’s trained for 13 yearswith Brock Freehling, co-owner of the ConnecticutGymnastics Academy inWallingford, has decidedwhere she will continue hergymnastics career: the AirForce Academy. She chose

the Colorado school over sev-eral other Division I suitors.

“They have a really goodgymnastics program,” Mal-oney said of Air Force. “It’s areally big commitment, butit’s nice to expand my educa-tion to Colorado.”

Malone will enter the med-ical field at Air Force.

“It’s good to get away sometimes. I’m kind of a homebody,” she said, “but I’m go-ing to miss my family forsure.”

Girls basketballClass LLMercy 54, Lauralton

Hall 53: Mercy of Middle-town spent the final 3.8 sec-onds of Saturday’s CIACClass LL final going from,“not again”, to, “are youkidding me?”

Maria Weselyj made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to givethe top-seeded Tigers animprobable 54-53 win overNo. 2 Lauralton Hall of Mil-ford at Mohegan Sun Are-na.

It looked like Mercy wasabout to lose its fourthstraight final afterMichelle DeSantis made alayup with 3.8 seconds leftin the game to give the Cru-saders a 53-51 lead. Theplay was made possible byMaggie Salandra’s stealwith 20 seconds remaining.

Mercy called two time-outs to set up a play. SheenaLandy threw the inboundspass from the baselineacross halfcourt.

The Tigers’ CassandraSantoro somehow caughtthe Hail Mary in traffic andpassed the ball to her rightto an open Weselyj.

Weselyj, who shot 3-of-9

from the field, got her 3-pointer off just in the nickof time.

Jordyn Nappi scored 13for the Tigers (25-2) whileLandy had 12 points and sixrebounds. Maura Fitz-patrick added 11 points.

Carly Fabbri scored agame-high 20 with threesteals for the Crusaders (24-2) and Olivia Levey had 13points and six rebounds.DeSantis scored 11.

Ice hockeyDivision IIINewington/Berlin 1,

Bolton/Coventry/Rock-ville 0: The co-op of Bolton,Coventry and Rockville en-tered Saturday’s Division IIIfinal with plenty of hype sur-rounding its defense afternine shutouts this season.

But once again, it wasNewington/Berlin’s defensethat stole the show at IngallsRink in the Division III Final.

Led by another memorableperformance from goalieDrew O’Leary in net and asecond period goal from Mar-co DiPaola, the co-op of New-ington/Berlin defeatedBolton/Coventry/Rockville1-0 in the Division III champi-onship for back-to-back ti-tles.

It was the second straightseason Newington/Berlin(17-4-2) has put together animpressive defensive displayin the biggest game of theseason.

Last March, Newington/Berlin stopped an equally dy-namic offense in NorthwestCatholic to claim its firststate title.

But on Saturday, the co-op,which added Manchesterduring the off-season, waseven better.

O’Leary made 16 saves andhis defense did a great job ofshutting down theBolton/Coventry/Rockvilleoffense, which was averaging4.8 goals a game.

After surviving a flurry ofactivity from Bolton/Coven-try/Rockville (20-2-2) in thefirst six minutes, Newing-ton/Berlin turned the tide.

As far as swimmers go,Berlin’s Dan Klotz has seenhis share of gold so he want-ed to leave the scholastic are-na more illustriously.

Klotz became a two-timeOpen champion for the sec-ond straight season, but puthis own stamp on the feat byshattering the state record inthe 100-yard butterfly bynearly a half-second.

Klotz touched in 49.34,breaking the mark (49.75) es-tablished by Dan Madwed ofthe Westhill/Stamford co-opteam in 2005. Earlier, Klotzcruised to victory in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:40.31,eclipsing a personal standardset in the Class M meet aweek ago.

SidewalksContinued from page 4

Town Engineer JamesGrappone said removing thesidewalks and replacing theconcrete slab would cost $40per linear foot. Lounsburywanted to make it clear to theresidents that the town is“not asking you to upgradeyour sidewalks.”

Frost Street resident RogerNogueira Jr. said his son stillwalks or bikes to StrongSchool in warm weather. Heshowed the committee pic-tures of flooding in his drive-way. He has dug a trenchthrough grass to drain intoone of the sewers. He has toclean two sewers in front ofhis house and one directlyacross the street.

“My driveway ... if I don’tclean that every day, leavesbuild up, it floods my drive-way,” he said.

He said that a patch in hisdriveway is at least two inch-es deep. “It’s like a speedbump every time I pull inthere,” he said. Lounsburysaid she agrees with him thatthe sidewalk is in deplorablecondition.

Patricia Hackett said shewas involved in a sidewalkcontroversy in the early1990s.

“We were fighting becausebased on the state statute thetown is responsible for main-tenance of sidewalks, howev-er the town can hold home-owners responsible for clear-ing ice and snow ... no townordinance can override statestatute.”

The argument was thatsince the town ordinance wason the books before the statestatute, it overrides thestatute, Hackett said, but theattorney general told her thatisn’t the case.

“[The sidewalks] are notfor the homeowner’s benefit;they are for the benefit of theentire town,” he said. “It isnot fair that only homeown-ers with sidewalks have topay.”

Sciota said the statute thatallowed municipalities totake homeowners to courtand force them to fix the side-walks has been eliminated.However, Sciota said, the al-lows municipalities to repairsidewalks and “assess theproperty owners.”
