This year Harwinton dedicates its 2012-2013 Annual Report to the victims of Sandy Hook, along with Harwinton's Holiday Hometown Committee. The Holiday Hometown Committee put in numerous hours and sacrificed many weekends to make our Holiday Hometown event spectacular for all residents. Yet they managed to find time to pay tribute to the cherished lives lost in the Sandy
Hook tragedy by engraving specially lit luminaries bearing the name of each victim. Although we all enjoy the wonderful time that we have during the Holiday Hometown event, we must remind ourselves how fragile life truly is. It is with great sadness and honor that we will always remember the victims of Sandy Hook.

I am very pleased and honored to serve the residents of this town and hereby submit my second
Annual Report to the residents of the Town of Harwinton. This has been a very productive year and we have accomplished many things, but there is still more to do. I am happy to report that once again our town's finances are in great shape.
The town's website was reviewed and found to be inadequate. Presentations by web design companies were heard in June, 2012. The new website was built and launched. Residents may now access information faster and more efficiently.
In order to assist residents in these tough economic times we were awarded, with Burlington, a
Community Development Block grant in the amount of $300,000. The program is available for use by income eligible residential property owners for housing rehabilitation projects such as roofing, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, etc. Funds will be offered in the form of zero per cent deferred loans which require no payment until a transfer of title occurs.
A town budget with a zero tax increase was passed in the spring of 2013. It was up to the Town to shoulder the Region 10 increase this year and ensure we continue to help the residents of
Harwinton. The budget was unanimously approved and passed at Town Meeting.
The SRO (School Resource Officer) program at Region 10 was restored due to the cooperation of Harwinton and Burlington. The program has proven to be a complete success and has given parents peace of mind when it comes to school security.
A complete replacement of the Town Hall and Library sidewalks took place, along with a complete re-pavement of the Library parking lot. The Town Hall roof, which was in great need of repair, was also replaced.
A new Animal Control Officer and Assistant Officer were hired and worked with other local municipalities to encourage cost sharing measures and establish new revenue for the town. The town also received a donated animal control vehicle from Burlington to bring us compliant with
State regulations and eliminate liability.
Harwinton celebrated its 275 th
birthday in October with a parade and many other activities for all h to enjoy. The night closed with a firework display that is still talked about throughout much of
Litchfield County.
The Town created its first Movie and Concert Night series for summer nights to satisfy all ages.
These have proven to be successful and will continue for years to come.
The Town's first food pantry was built by Harwinton Eagle Scout Adam Hall, and is run by many volunteers. The pantry currently feeds 30 families locally and is designed for all
Harwinton residents in need.
4

For the first time Harwinton created a Youth Service Organization called Safe Harbor without using any taxpayer’s dollars. The Organization is run and operated by Torrington Area Youth
Services to help counsel and mentor children in our communities, and also provides substance free events year round. Their office is located in the basement of Town Hall.
Harwinton joined numerous other communities to provide a free prescription discount program to its residents in order to help curb medical costs. Discount cards are still available at Town
Hall if anyone is interested. Residents so far have saved over 52% on prescriptions this year.
The Harwinton Tax Office launched its new Point and Pay program which allows residents to pay taxes on line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in order to make the payment process easier.
Harwinton residents overwhelmingly voted at Town Meeting to have Board of Education members elected by ballot rather than appointed at Town Meeting. This ensures that all residents have a voice when it comes to those who represent them.
Harwinton House, although moving slowing, was able to secure Amaya Architects this year in order to develop a site plan, budget, and building design. This was made possible through a
$25,000 technical grant that was received and matched by the Litchfield Land Trust.
In order to support our farmers and return to our roots, the Town overwhelmingly adopted a
Right to Farm ordinance at a Town Meeting, restoring the relationship between the farmers and the town.
Harwinton's long time Zoning Enforcement Officer, Karen Griswold Nelson, resigned. This allowed the town to hire a new ZEO, David Perkins, to continue to perform the necessary functions for Zoning and Inland Wetlands enforcement. We wish Karen the best of luck in her future endeavors and thank her for her service to the Town of Harwinton.
The town received over $5,000 in grants from Thomaston Savings Bank this year which made renovations to the Senior Center, the Holiday Hometown Event, movie and concert nights, recreation repairs and the War Memorial Project possible.
Harwinton received a $92,000 Wildlife grant in order to continue its pursuit of purchasing land along the Naugatuck River for the future Greenway Project. Harwinton voters overwhelmingly approved the purchase of 4.27 acres along the Naugatuck River.
Not only did Harwinton have its very successful Harwinton Holiday Hometown event again this year, but we were also able to hold a Health and Safety Jamboree.
We will continue moving forward with these traditions, allowing residents to enjoy what
Harwinton has to offer.

To the Residents and Property owners of the Town of Harwinton:
The Board of Finance presents herein the Annual Report of various officers, boards, commissions and agencies serving the Town for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.
The 2013-2014 Budget was adopted by Town Meeting on May 21, 2013. In order to fund this budget, the Board of Finance adopted a mill rate of 24.6 on the Grand List of October 1, 2012.
The Board of Finance wishes to thank all the Town officers, boards, commissions and agencies for their help and cooperation this past year.

The Commission on Aging meets the third Tuesday of every month at 1:15 p.m. at the
Harwinton Senior Center. The public is welcome to attend these meetings.
There are currently six people serving on the Commission on Aging and we have one vacancy.
The Commission members are:
Donna Cerruto
Joan Cominotti
Anne DiMauro
JoAnn Jayne
Peggy Shanahan
Terry Sullivan
Sharlene Copeland is Harwinton's Municipal Agent. Sharlene is also Director of the Senior
Center located at 209 Weingart Road. Her regular office hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. She can be reached at 860-689-1951.
The Senior Center offers meals through the Nutrition Program on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The meals are served at noon. Seniors are asked to make a donation of $3.00 per meal and reservations should be made 24 hours prior to the meal by calling Marie at 860-567-7437.
Northwest CT Transit provides our seniors with transportation to and from the Center, will pick up at the door, for a round trip donation of $ 2.50; 24 hour advance notice is required.
There are regularly scheduled activities as well as special trips and events every month at the Senior Center. The VNA nurse is available to ·take blood pressure readings the first Tuesday of every month from 11:30 to noon.
Tuesdays our chorus, the HarwinTONEs, practices from 11 a.m. to noon. Additional singers are warmly welcomed. No auditions are required… just a love of the oldies as well as seasonal and patriotic songs. Over the past several year the HarwinTONEs have increased in number and now include two musicians – a guitar player and a pianist. Once or twice a month the HarwinTONEs entertain at area nursing homes. We are very fortunate that bus transportation for these performances is provided gratis by the Northwest CT Transit District.
Bingo games follow lunch on Tuesdays, and new folks are invited to join us.
After lunch on Thursdays we alternate a variety of activities including movies, games, Wii bowling and cars. Two Thursday afternoons a month, from May through October, the
NWCT Transit bus takes a group of seniors someplace special: on scenic rides, miniature golfing, bowling, shopping, blueberry or apple picking, the beach, or for ice cream.

Wednesdays have become very special days at the Senior Center. One Wednesday each month there is a theme party. A catered lunch is served and professional entertainment follows.
Attendance ranges from 50 to 75 seniors. We are very grateful to the Thomaston Savings Bank
Foundation for providing funds to offset the cost of our entertainers.
Wednesdays are also trip days and this past year we made several trips to Jimmies of Savin Rock in West Haven for an authentic shore lunch. We also took the ferry from Bridgeport to Port
Jefferson for lunch and shopping. We traveled to Ivoryton and saw the delightful musical
“Footloose.” We spent an afternoon at the Fidelco Guide Dog Training Center in Bloomfield, and enjoyed New Haven’s Festival of Lights at Christmas.
Typically the last Wednesday of each month we have Lunch Bunch. The list of our host restaurants includes most local Country and Golf clubs and restaurants throughout the Northwest corner. During fair weather months we have as many as 65 diners, fewer during the winter. This is a six-year tradition that is more popular than ever.
One Wednesday a month from October to May we have "Souper Wednesday" which involves a pot luck lunch followed by Team Trivial Pursuit. Teams are formed on a random basis and strangers become teammates – and ultimately friends. Souper Wednesdays are a favorite among the seniors.
There are several events during the year 'that involve interaction with other groups and organizations in the community. The National Foreign Language Honor Society at Lewis S.
Mills High School hosts the senior citizens from Harwinton and Burlington at a Senior Prom each January. The Mills Club at Lewis S. Mills High School hosts a St. Patrick's Bingo party to which Burlington and Harwinton Senior Center members are invited and, in addition, we are all "guests of honor" at dress rehearsals for Lewis S. Mills plays. Also the Harwinton
Senior Center members judge the Library's coloring contests commemorating various holidays during the year.
In September, AARP held a Safe Driver course at the Senior Center, with 11 seniors participating. Those completing the four hour course are eligible to receive a discount on their auto insurance.
In October we had what has become our Annual Tag and Bake Sale and Lite Lunch Fundraiser.
It was very successful thanks to the combined efforts of many of our seniors.
Five years ago we began issuing membership cards and we now have close to 200 participating member families. We warmly welcome new members.

The function of the Harwinton Conservation Commission is to advise other town boards and commissions on issues concerning the conservation of natural resources. The Commission also monitors or administers several parcels of land including, but not limited to, the Harwinton
Conservation Area, a parcel bordering Cook's Dam, and the Town Green. We are presently working in conjunction with the ad hoc Open Space Committee and the Board of Selectmen to support Town efforts to increase the amount of useable protected open space in Harwinton.
The Town Green is planted and maintained by the Commission and other volunteers. The flowers add beauty to the Memorial Day ceremonies and continue to bloom throughout the growing season. We have increased the number of perennial plantings to reduce the cost of purchasing annuals each year. We are presently working with the Board of Selectmen and a dedicated sub-committee to design a landscape planting area that will complement the proposed new Memorial configuration.
The recently acquired former Carros property continues to receive heavy use by the public since trails have been added which connect to the Conservation Area. To aid hikers in finding their way, we commissioned the construction of four trail map signs and map boxes which were installed at trailheads. Work continues in the Conservation Area to add signs and other trail markers to improve the function. We are still working to situate trails on the east side of the property with the possibility of a foot bridge over Lead Mine Brook to connect the east and west sides. Anyone interested in volunteering with the Commission to maintain or improve trails, or the Town Green, can contact us care of Town Hall.

The Office of Emergency Management remains steady. The blizzard reminded us again that we need to be prepared for any impending storm, whether hurricane, severe thunderstorm or rain, every family should have a plan and basic necessities. FEMA recommends 72 hours’ worth of supplies, but the past three major storms have taught us we need to be self-sufficient for at least
5-7 days.
As the new Ambulance Facility moves along, I will work with the Ambulance Building
Committee to construct the new state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center.
I am very comfortable how the residents handle extended power outages, and you all should be proud. I would like to thank the two Fire Departments, the Ambulance Service, Resident Trooper and Public Works Department who work as a team for hours opening up impassable roads and downed trees.
Please remember: during a major incident, the Town will be disseminating vital information through the Reverse 911, Facebook and Twitter, as well as manning the phones at Town Hall.
Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions. My information can be found on the
Town Website under Emergency Management.

The following is a summary of the Fire Marshal's activities from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013:
The Office of the Fire Marshal is charged with enforcement of the Connecticut Life Safety Code and State Statutes
Protection of life and property is the main objective for this office. This is achieved by inspection of all properties, the elimination of fire hazards, working with the property owners and making a plan of correction that is agreed-upon by both the owner and this office.
Approximately 85 inspections were done.
All License facilities were done as needed.
Complaints were handled immediately and resolved in a timely manner.
Plan reviews are conducted jointly with the Building Official’s Office.
The main purpose for the plan review is to ensure the building being constructed meets the intent of the "code". Our offices meet with the architects, engineers and owner to review these plans prior to their submittal to our offices. This process helps the owner speed up the process for permitting.
Fire Investigations are conducted with a team approach. They are conducted through the cooperative efforts of the Harwinton Fire Department, State Police Troop B, and this office. The
State Fire Marshal’s Office is also used at no expense to the Town. The State has more recourse at their disposal such as the Arson K-9 Unit. By utilizing these outside agencies it enables each person at the scene a specific job and more eyes to help determine the origin and cause of the fire.
This office investigated three structure fires and one vehicle fire.

The Harwinton Ambulance Association (HAA), together with the Harwinton and Harwinton
Westside Fire Departments and our Resident State Troopers, provide for emergency response needs for those who live and pass through our community. Our primary function is to provide
EMS coverage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
HAA responded to 438 calls for assistance in FY '12/13. Our calls ranged from vehicle accidents to traumatic injuries to medical emergencies to fire department assists.
In addition to responding to emergencies, we also believe in the importance of educating our residents to handle medical and traumatic emergencies. Over the past year we conducted numerous classes as part of our community outreach program which are free to town residents.
These included training on CPR, First Aid and Babysitting as well as a presentation on head injuries and children's sports in conjunction with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital. Anyone interested in receiving training should visit our website at www.harwintonems.org for class schedules and information.
In recognition of the importance of volunteers to our organization, and the cost savings to the town those volunteers provide, we continue to focus a good deal of effort on our recruitment and retention program. These efforts have been successful as we have added 16 new members to our organization over the past year.
Improvements to our First Responder capabilities were achieved this past year through a generous grant from Thomaston Savings Bank which allowed us to purchase two Automatic
External Defibrillators (AEDs), bringing the total issued to First Responders throughout town to eight. Providing AEDs to First Responders is crucial as it has been shown that quick access to this technology is vital to the survivability of a cardiac arrest. Statistics show that if bystander
CPR is not provided, a victim's chance for survival decreases 7% - 10% for each minute of delay until defibrillation. Placing these units with First Responders means we can start that process before the ambulance arrives on scene.
We are excited that following a 20+ year effort, plans are progressing towards a new location for our headquarters. With the support of its residents, the Town of Harwinton purchased land adjacent to Center Firehouse using grant funds. Upon its completion the new building will include a training area, kitchen facility, bathrooms with showers, offices and sleeping quarters for on-duty personnel, all of which is currently lacking.
18

We are looking forward to another productive year protecting the citizens of Harwinton. On behalf of the Ambulance Association, our thanks is extended to the residents of Harwinton, the
Boards of Selectmen and Finance and the Thomaston Savings Bank for their continued support of our mission to provide quality emergency medical services.

Jason Emery, Chief

Note: There was a single year increase in revenue during the 2012-2013 fiscal year due to receiving payments on billing from previous years as well as an increase in donations. These two categories added $23,117.16 income for the year. In addition, due to increased membership recruitment and retention efforts, the expenditure line item for contracted labor was $21,385.45 less than budgeted. As a result of both the increased revenue and savings from contracted labor,
HAA had an increase of $44,242 to net income. These funds will be utilized to support the much needed new building project and capital equipment replacement accounts.
Note: A total of $20,239.06 in new building expenses was incurred by the Town during the
2012-2013 fiscal year. Payment by Harwinton Ambulance Association to reimburse the Town for these expenditures occurred after the end of the fiscal year.

The "Harwinton House" project is moving slowly but showing significant progress. The
Harwinton House Town Committee meets up to twice a month and has accomplished the following during the fiscal year:
Developed an 18 page RFP including a DVD containing hundreds of pictures of the dismantling for securing an Architectural firm;
Reviewed seven quotes from responding Architectural firms, short listed to five and ultimately selected Amaya Architects to develop site plans and construction documents;
Attained a $10,900 Technical Assistance Grant from the Connecticut Trust for Historic
Preservation to be applied to cover half the Architectural fees;
Attained a $10,900 grant from the Greater Litchfield Preservation Trust to cover half the
Architectural fees;
Received $80,583 in reimbursements from the DECO (Department of Economic
Community Development) for money spent from the S.T.E.A.P. Grant to date, and
One vacancy on the committee was filled by a town resident.
As of June 30, 2013, $80,593 of the $150,000 S.T.E.A.P. grant has been spent on this project.
The committee has commitments for in-kind services including land clearing and plumbing, as well as labor services from committee members. We will be soliciting for other volunteers as we get closer to actual construction.

Hours
The Library strives to meet the needs of our residents when determining appropriate hours of service.
Monday & Wednesday: 1:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Tuesday & Thursday: 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM
Friday: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Saturday: 9:30 AM - 1:00 PM (summer)
Saturday: 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM (winter)
Materials
Books are still the core of library service. New books are purchased every year in response to patron demand and in order to maintain the integrity of the collection. Books on CD and
Downloadable Audios, E-Books, DVD's, music CD's, newspapers and magazines complete our materials purchases. The library belongs to a video cooperative and borrows bulk large print and
Audio CD's. These services provide popular materials on a timely basis while not taking permanent shelf space. Last year, $21,092 was spent on materials. This year more than half of our materials budget was supplied by state, private and civic donation funds.
Harwinton Library Friends, Civic Family Services, Harwinton Lion's Club and Bronc Callahan
Association have been strong supporters. Thanks to contributions of time and funding from these organizations, our library is able to provide many extra services, materials and programs. They welcome your membership, support and participation.
Thank you also to those who remembered the library in memoriam.
The library now owns:
Books.....36,671
Periodicals….. 55
Audio Recordings.....2,058
Videos and DVD's.....1,489
Downloadable Electronic Books ...6,060
Downloadable Audio Titles ...4,345
Circulation
The annual circulation is the total circulation of all library materials. A circulation transaction is the act of lending an item from the library's collection for use outside the library. What is not measured by circulation figures is the in-house use of library materials: the number of people who enjoy reading a newspaper or magazine, participate in the numerous activities and programs, use word processing capabilities, or find answers to questions without borrowing a book. The use of interlibrary loan has increased significantly in the last several years. Our patrons had 941 items delivered from other libraries. In order to use this service, we lent 475 items to other libraries. For 2012-2013 circulation totaled 47,454 items. Some circulation highlights include:
Adult Books.....14,111
Audio Recordings.....5,140
Children's Books.....15,844
Videos and DVD's.....7,863
Internet Uses.... 1,155

Mission Statement
The mission of the Harwinton Public Library is to provide for the informational, cultural, and recreational needs of the citizens of Harwinton through the provision of an organized collection of print, multimedia and electronic resources. This mission shall be achieved by the maintenance of trained professional staff and support personnel. Special emphasis is placed on encouraging children to develop an interest in reading and learning by offering appropriate materials and programs and collaborating with the Region 10 school district educational programs.

In summary, the library shall actively encourage the use of its materials, seek to keep residents informed of resources available, and foster the intellectual growth, character, and cohesiveness of the community.
Programming
The library provided 212 programs attended by 5,669 participants. Programs help to develop the library "habit" in children and adults' ongoing use of the collection and facility helps to create a literate community in keeping with the mission statement.
23

Support for programming is provided by the AARP, the Harwinton Library Friends, Civic
Family Services and you, the individuals who donate time, talent and resources to the library.
Any paid programs were provided through private funds or talent. Please check our calendar to see if there is an activity of interest to you.
The Library's display areas offered opportunities for artists, students, local collectors, and local community groups to display talents and information. Please make the staff aware of your possibilities.
Notables
Technology has arrived for the children. Thanks to a grant from The Community Foundation of
Northwest Connecticut we have an AWE Early Learning Station This all-in-one digital learning computer features 50 preloaded software programs for ages 2-8. This stand-alone system is heavily used in the library. For home use, the Friends of the Library paid for TumbleBooks that can be accessed from our homepage. TumbleBooks offers E-books, educational games and activities for the younger set. Parents should contact us for the password.
Visit our continually revised homepage at www.harwintonpl.org. We now can be reached through your portable phone! We update our homepage with current programs and services and instructions for Interlibrary Loan in Request. The statewide search engine, ICONN.org, is a core level of information resources, including secured access to licensed databases, and is available to every citizen in Connecticut.
The community tab on our homepage connects to other organizations such as HYSA, the town, the school system and the Harwinton Historian's page. The Library Board of Directors reached out to the community in the table they manned at the Harwinton Fair. The Friends participated in Harwinton's 250th Birthday Celebration, Hometown Holiday and Spring Jamborees. Our children's librarian visited all of the classes at Harwinton Consolidated School.
JobNow provides critiques of resumes and helps with practice interview questions for those looking for jobs. It also has educational programs that help update office skills.
If you visit in person, we have four computers available for public access as well as wireless connections for those who bring their own internet devices.
Museum passes are available for the twelfth consecutive year. Supported by the Harwinton
Library Friends, they have gained in popularity, allowing free or reduced entry to various local attractions. These attractions change each year according to usage.
The Garden Club has added to our plantings to make the stroll to our front door more inviting.
New signs have helped the novice identify the various plants. A special thanks to those who have worked so hard weeding and planting.
As we reach out to the world of new technology and resources, we take pride in being able to offer small town friendliness and service. You are the "public" in public library, and we encourage your comments and suggestions, your expectations and opinions. Our thanks go to all of you who have made the Harwinton Public Library an exciting and vibrant part of the community!

Expansion Plans
Why are we planning an expansion? Because you told us that we need:
More room for people. Functions held at the Community Room are very well attended and the room is no longer large enough to meet the community's needs;
Direct access to the building from the parking lot. The current walkway to the library is a problem for the wheelchair bound and the disabled especially in inclement weather;
More space for children. Children's activities have increased and story hour is very popular;
A designated area for teens. Teens need space to work together and work on projects;
Computer work areas. Technology changes have created a need for work areas where people can plug in their own computers and use the library's WiFi network, and
Quiet areas to do research, study, have conferences, meetings and study groups.

Stasia Motuzick, M.L.S.

I appreciate this opportunity to let the residents of Harwinton know what the Public Works
Department has been doing over the last year. Much of the information provided here is the same year after year because much of our work is done every year much as the chores around your home are. The Department is a work force made up of ten people. These workers are required to be available 24 hours a day, year round, to deal with any weather-related problems or road issues that may arise. This is the second year in a row that the Town did not add a new road.
The economic slowdown has caused developers to hold back construction of new subdivisions.
This was the third full budget year the children of Harwinton played on the relatively newly constructed recreation fields, the maintenance of which the department took on shortly after they were built. We have gotten a firm hold on the Town's responsibilities and duties in maintaining this multi-million dollar investment. With these and other increasing demands for services by the public, it makes one wonder how much longer we'll be able to function with a ten person crew, although like everyone else during these continuing difficult times, we've been able to do more with less. The Department presently operates and maintains thirty pieces of heavy equipment and trucks with many smaller tools and equipment. The main vehicles include eight large dump trucks with plows and material spreaders, five smaller trucks, a 3.5-yard loader, a heavy-duty road grader with wing plow, an 80HP tractor with boom mower, a rubber-tired loader-backhoe, a hydraulic excavator, three equipment trailers, a portable air compressor, a dual drum roller, a forklift, a Skid-loader with various attachments, a small utility tractor, a heavyduty wood chipper and two large lawn mowers. The Town Garage Facility, with a talented master mechanic, works very well and continues to prove its worth in maintaining the more than
2.5 million dollars' worth of rolling stock plus all of the small equipment operated by the crew.
Each year I use this opportunity to personally thank each and every member of the Public Works
Department for their commitment to the safety and well-being of the residents of Harwinton, as well as people passing through, and their continued cooperation with me during the past year. I also wish to thank my and our Highway Foreman, Wayne Johnson. He is a tremendous asset to this Town and its Public Works Department. His hard work above and beyond the call of duty is greatly appreciated by me. My job would be impossible for one man to do each year without
Wayne's assistance, considering the always increasing regular every day responsibilities.
Wayne's dedication and attention to detail is a great asset, which is duly noted by the general public. Thanks Wayne. The general operation of the Town's highway system, permitting and inspections of new roads and driveways each year, overseeing the care of the new Recreation
Complex, maintenance operation of all the town's buildings, putting together the Public Works budget (which has become a real challenge) and then trying to live within it are just some of the many demands placed on my position. This is only the second increase, albeit slight, in the
Public Works budget in the last six years, almost exclusively because of the increasing cost of energy resulting in higher costs for asphalt, fuel and road materials.
This year’s weather presented many challenges. The Town and its residents suffered through what seemed like a dozen heavy rain events, the worst being Super Storm Sandy in late October, which caused a great deal of flooding and road washouts with alot of downed trees. Then, in early February, a massive blizzard dumped nearly 30 inches of heavy snow which caused wide spread travel problems and, in fact, forced the Governor to close the State to all travel for more than two days. Our Public Works crews were able to have every road in Harwinton completely

passible in 12 hours from the end of the falling snow. This was a major accomplishment unequaled by most towns and the State itself. The Town was fortunate in that there weren't any electrical power issues. The winter ended up requiring thirty call outs of the crew and used about
1,935 tons of de-icing material. While the Town dealt with all this bad weather, we were able to make all of the needed repairs and cleanup and still remain within budget because of the efficiencies we have developed and the diligence and professionalism of our workers.
The following are just the highlights of the work that the Highway Department performed during FY 12-13, on nearly 66 miles of Harwinton's roads and additional winter maintenance on many of the Lake Association's pass-ways for a total exceeding 70 miles.
1.
Removed snow, ice, sleet and applied de-icing agents to the highways and pass-ways
during thirty storms, totaling 80.5 inches.
2.
Replaced and upgraded two failed cross-culvert pipes as well as repaired six header walls from normal deterioration and Storm Sandy.
3.
Cleaned and maintained numerous roadside drainage swales and runoffs.
4.
Swept the entire town’s paved road system of winter debris using a Regional
Government Association's (of which Harwinton is a member) owned sweeper. The Town houses and maintains this sweeper and receives a reduced rate for doing so, when compared to other towns that only rent the sweeper. Even the regular rate is much better than the Town used to pay when renting from a vendor.
5.
Shaped, graded, added gravel and rolled 3.5 miles of gravel roads numerous times throughout the year because of increased traffic volumes and heavy thunderstorms, and the Super Storm Sandy event.
6.
Installed new, rebuilt and repaired fourteen catch basins and their tops. Some of these basins were installed in areas where there were existing cross culvert pipes. This is an ongoing project that we've undertaken to help make our roads safer by eliminating those deep holes from along the highway shoulders. Most of these were done on Plymouth
Road as a conclusion to the upgrade this year.
7.
We vacuum cleaned approximately one-third of all Town owned catch basins using the
Regional Government Association's (of which Harwinton is a member), owned truck.
The fee charged is at a reduced rate from our past practice of renting from a vendor. This is an on-going program, which cleans most of our basins on a rotating schedule and with the Town's elimination of winter sand use we should have been able to gain on this function.
8.
Applied liquid calcium when needed to our gravel roads to stabilize the surface and to control dust.
9.
We were able to fit in three drainage and road widening projects this year. The
Department finished the rework of Plymouth Road, and worked on sections of Perkins
Hill Road, and South Road. This work added catch basins, under drains, paved swales and widened the paved surface of the road as needed, all of which will improve safety, extend road life and in some of these areas eliminate deep gutters to aid in safety and maintenance.
10.
Resurfaced with bituminous concrete just less than two miles of highway even though the cost of blacktop has increased significantly over the past two years. The cost has affected how much we can pave on a fixed budget. We are concentrating on doing more shimming and wedging and then chipping over it to stretch the budget and hold the roads in the condition they're in until we can afford to overlay. Highways that were overlaid all or in part included: Plymouth Road, Rocky Road East, Westleigh Drive,
Blueberry Hill Road, Scoville Hill Road, Clearview Avenue and Weingart Road.
33

11. Shimmed, wedged and patched with bituminous concrete just over one mile of highway before applying chip-seal.
12. Applied chip-seal finish to over 8.2 miles of highway, or about 126,800 square yards, which is a little more than last year because the cost of the emulsion oil used in chip-seal actually was stable this year.
13. Swept up loose chip stone from the above operations. The stone is recycled for use on the gravel roads, and for pipe drainage work.
14. Repaired broken and damaged curbing and added curbing where erosion issues required it.
15. The Department supplied services for oil, antifreeze and battery recycling. We supplied labor for scrap metal and recently added bulky waste collection days, as well as collecting leaves all year.
16. We did almost all of our own repairs of Town owned equipment, both major and minor,
including fabricating, bodywork, servicing and painting.
17. The Department removed over 125 dead and damaged trees from within the Town's
highway boundaries. This is much more than usual because all the recent bad weather damaged many of our trees, which stretched the budget a little more.
18. The Town used virtually no sand this year since we have ended sand sealing our roads and are now using treated salt in the winter rather than salt-sand mix. Only very occasionally do we use a small amount of salt-sand on the roads, depending upon weather conditions. The Town brought in 1,935 tons of agriculturally-treated salt known as Magic-Salt.
19. We continued our comprehensive program of roadside and intersection mowing to
remove small trees and brush to limit vehicle damage from encroachment and greatly
improve site lines. This program is really paying dividends in the safety and appearance
of the Town's roadsides.
20. We reviewed and commented on subdivision plans for the Selectmen and various
Commissions. We issued driveway and road opening permits and did the inspections
associated with them, as well as doing inspections for new road construction, which
requires a great deal of the Department's time to ensure the roads are built to Town
specifications. The Town did not accept any new roads this year.
21. The Town continued to see some property evictions. When evictions happen, the Town
is required to pick-up any property placed "on the curb" by the Sheriff. Our workers
then have to pick-up these items and place them in storage for a period of time and,
when not claimed, has to be moved again for disposal. This is just another item that
takes time and money out of a planned schedule and budget.
22. We maintained Harwinton's recreation areas, which included maintenance of the playground equipment at the Charlotte Ryan Playground and the Town's Tennis Courts.
We plowed the snow in the parking lot, mowed the grass, mulched around the equipment, cut brush and removed dead trees.
23. We maintained many needed issues at all town-owned buildings above normal janitorial duties, such as moving snow, salting, painting, sweeping, mowing, small building projects, etc.
24. The Department developed and wrote specifications, secured quotes, and inspected all new equipment purchased for the Public Works Department to make sure it will work as planned and meet the life expectancy as set out by the Town's Capital Equipment
Committee.
25. We installed new, replaced worn, damaged and stolen signage on Town highways. We have completed the upgrade of all the Town's street name signs. The Town will continue the program to upgrade other signage to meet new Federal Standards. These include larger,
34

more reflective stop and speed limit signs, breakaway posts and mounting brackets. We also have resumed our program of stocking our spare street name sign inventory
26. We provided nearly 20 miles of centerline stripping as well as all the Town's stop sign lines and road crosswalks.
27. We replaced and maintained highway posts and guard rails as needed and installed some at new locations as required.
28. We delivered and setup the speed machine as authorized by the Resident Troopers
Office to monitor speed issues. We also installed traffic counters to check traffic volume.
These numbers help the Town determine where increase in traffic may require upgrades to our roads. We have also been installing the structures needed to mount the new electronic speed signage, the location of which is directed by the Selectmen and the Resident
Trooper.
29. The Public Works Department helped our local fire departments when called upon to provide equipment for various reasons, ranging from spreading salt on ice for fires and auto accidents in the winter to excavating rubble at major fire scenes and helping at Haz-
Mat incidents.
30. We did emergency work that may be needed after severe storms, which may be removing downed trees, barricading roads and repairing washouts as just some of the reasons for a call out.
31. We assisted the WPCA, (Water Pollution Control Association) with permitting for road
openings and maintenance of sewer manholes and equipment where they interact with the
Town’s highway system.

In November of 1983, the Town of Harwinton established the Harwinton Housing Authority for the express purpose of developing a low income senior housing project in town. Much credit is given to Elizabeth Cooling and Polly Doremus for their talent and effort in bringing this work to fruition. The result is Wintergreen, a 20-unit, senior citizen, low income housing facility off
Bentley Drive. The project is financially self-sufficient with operating expenses met through rental proceeds and governmental rent subsidies, and help with funding from the Town of
Harwinton. All apartments are occupied, but requests for information or applications are available by calling the office at: 860-485-1200.
Now in its 29th year of residency, Wintergreen is an established part of the Harwinton community. Volunteer efforts from various organizations in town help keep it a pleasant place to live. The effort to maintain and up-grade the 29 year old facility is constant with emphasis on providing quality living quarters for the occupants.
The Jason Skinner House at 60 Bentley Drive and part of Wintergreen's property is on the
National Register of Historic Places. In May of 1985 a special bill was passed by Connecticut's
State Legislature to transfer ownership of the Skinner House to the Housing Authority. The house, formerly located within the State's Roraback Wildlife Management Area, dates from around 1830. In its original location on an abandoned road, it had been uninhabited for several decades and was neglected and vandalized. Now fully restored it is an example of un- sophisticated country elegance in a transitional style, having incorporated elements of Greek
Revival, Federal and Georgian Colonial styles. Originally it served as a main dwelling on a 200-
300 acre farm.
At Wintergreen the house serves as the residents’ community house and administrative office.
The Great Room is available for public use by contacting the Housing Authority Board and for events such as family reunions, showers and other celebrations. In 2011 an emergency generator was installed at the Skinner House for use as an emergency center in the event of storms and power outages.
For information call Barbara Zimmerman, Administrator, at 860-485-1200.

The Litchfield Hills Council of Elected Officials is the state-recognized regional planning organization for the eleven-town Litchfield Hills Region. The LHCEO consists of the Mayors and First Selectmen from the member towns of Barkhamsted, Colebrook, Goshen, Hartland,
Harwinton, Litchfield, Morris, New Hartford, Norfolk, Torrington and Winchester.
The LHCEO meets monthly to discuss issues of inter-municipal concern, promote regional cooperation, and direct various regional planning activities. Serving as officers this year were
Hartland First Selectman Wade Cole as Chairman, Barkhamsted First Selectman Donald Stein as
Vice Chairman, Torrington Mayor Ryan Bingham as Secretary and Norfolk First Selectman
Susan Dyer as Treasurer. The LHCEO is based at the Goshen Town Hall and has two employees.
Major activities of the LHCEO this year included the following:
1) Planning and Coordination
A variety of issues of regional significance were discussed at the monthly meetings of the
LHCEO, including priorities for: economic development, workforce housing, animal shelters, cooperative purchasing, emergency management, state legislation, road improvements and public works equipment sharing. Considerable time was devoted this year to assessing the optimal geographic boundaries for regional planning organizations in Connecticut, as promoted by the State, which ultimately led to the LHCEO and NWCCOG agreeing to merge into a new
20-town Northwest Hills Council of Governments in 2014. In addition to the LHCEO's regular monthly meetings, several special meetings of the LHCEO were also held to discuss legislative priorities with local legislators.
The LHCEO responded to numerous requests for demographic, economic, and housing data. The LHCEO also reviewed and commented on several referrals of proposed zoning changes, town plan updates, or development proposals near municipal borders this fiscal year, as required by State statute.
The LHCEO assisted the City of Torrington this year in administering a Torrington
Façade Improvement Program this year with funding provided by the State.
The LHCEO continued to receive funding this year from the CT Office of Emergency
Management and Homeland Security to help coordinate the activities of the Regional Public
Safety Task Force and other emergency planning programs.
The LHCEO also administered the "Litchfield Hills Public Works Equipment
Cooperative" this year. Under this program, interested area towns can share in the use of two street sweepers and one catch basin cleaner. Additional equipment that will soon be available through the program includes two asphalt recyclers, three asphalt hotboxes, and two hay/straw throwers.
The LHCEO, in conjunction with the Northwestern CT Council of Governments, NWC
Economic Development Corporation, and the NWC Chamber of Commerce, also helped coordinate an update of the region's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy this year.
40

2) Transportation Planning
The LHCEO continued to help administer the region's Rural Collector funding program this year.
Two meetings of the Litchfield Hills Road Foreman Association were held this year to discuss local experience with road maintenance activities, opportunities for cooperative purchasing and operation of the Litchfield Hills Public Works Equipment Cooperative.
The LHCEO also continued its active support this year for federal and state funding to build a new transit center for the Northwestern CT Transit District. LHCEO staff also prepared and reviewed several grant applications to enhance transit services in the region.
3) Solid Waste Disposal and Recycling
In cooperation with the Northwestern Connecticut Council of Governments, the LHCEO continued to coordinate meetings of the Regional Recycling Advisory Committee. This
Committee oversees the regional recycling program and coordinates the scheduling of household hazardous waste collection days in the regional area. Two successful household hazardous waste collection days were held this year for area residents, along with an electronics collection day sponsored in cooperation with the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority.

The Northwest Conservation District (NCD) is a local environmental non-profit organization serving 34 municipalities in northwestern Connecticut. Our mission is to promote the conservation and wise use of natural resources through education and technical assistance services.
TECHNICAL SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF OUR MISSION
This past year we assisted our towns' land use commissions and staff with over 100 site development reviews covering hundreds of acres of land, ranging from agricultural and residential to commercial and urban settings. Each time we review and make recommendations on proposed land use changes, we are balancing development with protection of water and other sensitive resources. We provide practical science-based solutions, using the latest technologies such as LID - Low Impact Development - to ensure that projects work with the landscape instead of against it. The need for our expertise in controlling erosion and managing storm water run-off continues to grow due to more recent, frequent and intense storms events. We also provide field inspections and consultation to local citizens seeking environmental information, referrals or technical assistance. Citizens call or visit us for solutions to environmental management issues on a daily basis. Our unique depth of expertise continues to serves local residents well in resolving many environmental problems. Our GIS Center provides many field surveys, maps and reports to support the acquisition of open space or solve environmental issues. Our GPS capacities are applied to trail mapping, wetlands projects, school improvement projects and asset management as well.
GETTING RESULTS IN LAND PRESERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCE
PLANNING
Our projects this year include the completion of a rain garden and bioswale in Winchester to protect the water quality in the Still River Watershed and the construction of two storm water wetlands to clean up runoff generated by a one hundred lot subdivision in Thomaston, CT. We are partnering with the City of Torrington in securing grant funding to construct a porous pavement municipal lot, which is currently eroding dirt and gravel into a nearby stream. We continue to make process in creating a wildlife habitat at Native Meadows on the Housatonic
River in New Milford and partnering with the regional NRCS in providing soil and water quality protection assistance to the agricultural community in the 34 towns that we serve.
EDUCATION AT AN EARLY AGE LEADS TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN
THE FUTURE
Our support for the Envirothon Program continues to provide hands-on science for high school students. This year, as part of this natural resource based curriculum and field day completion, each team explored habitat management relating to the New England Cottontail. Local schools swept the statewide Field Day competition held at Sessions Woods in Burlington. First was
Housatonic Valley Agriscience and second was Housatonic Regional High School. Other local
Environthon schools included Litchfield High, Hotchkiss, Marvelwood, Nonnewaug and
Wamogo. Visit www.ctenvirothon.org for more info.

EARTH DAY PLANT SALE, FISH AND PONDS
This year marked the 31st Anniversary of our Annual Earth Day Plant Sale. Thanks to the efforts of many amazing volunteers, our four day event at the Goshen Fairgrounds resulted in thousands of native plants, evergreen seedlings, shrubs and perennials for Wildlife Habit planted by local gardeners. We also continue our bi-annual Trout Stocking Programs for the renewal of aquatic resources in local ponds and streams.
OUR OUTREACH AND WEBSITE
The District publishes the "Voice of Conservation" newsletter bi-annually and continues to increase our capacity to communicate with our members and the public through our website, www.conservect.org/northwest.
OUR RECOGNITION AND THANKS TO YOU
Our year culminated in our District being awarded a 2013 Environmental Merit Award from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in recognition of our exceptional work and commitment to the environment. As stated by Sean Hayden the Executive Director of NCD, "Long standing partnerships working with municipalities has made NCD the trusted independent voice, recognized and respected for their abilities to solve environmental problems". We, at NCD, share our pride in this award

The Planning Commission, among other duties, oversees adherence to the Subdivision
Regulations. These Regulations apply to subdivisions and resubdivisions of land within the
Town of Harwinton. No subdivision or resubdivision of land shall be made by any person, firm or corporation until an application for such subdivision or resubdivision has been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission, along with a map thereof endorsed by the
Commission and approved and filed by the applicant in the office of the Harwinton Town Clerk.
For the period July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013, the Commission generated $1,080.00 from three subdivision applications. An application submitted by Doug Roy for a 2-lot resubdivision of
Shanley Farms Subdivision, 601 Hill Road, was approved in October 2012. In February, 2013, the Commission approved an application submitted by John Quartiero for a two-lot subdivision at 3 Birch Hill Road and in April, 2013, the Commission approved an application submitted by
Wesley Cyr for a two lot resubdivision at 93 Oakwood Drive.
In April, 2013, the Commission gave a favorable referral to the Board of Selectmen for the purchase of 4.27 acres of land located between Valley Road and the Naugatuck River from the
Estate of William Kaminski.
In May, 2013, the Commission adopted Subdivision Regulation amendments in response to PA
12-182 which improved the local process for requiring financial guarantees from developers for completing approved site work, and also removed a mandate on municipalities created by PA
11-79 now allowing municipalities to require a one-year maintenance guarantee of public improvements.
The Planning Commission continues to take the stand that Affordable Housing is a matter of utmost priority for the town.
The Planning Commission consists of volunteers who devote many hours of service to make sure the regulations are adhered to and are current. Those members are:
Michael Orefice, Chairman, Paul Roche, Secretary, John Souchuns, Christina Emery, Michael
Letourneau and Alternate Member Steven Criss. Past members who gave their time during the year include John Sullivan and Matthew O'Connell.
The commission is currently seeking volunteers for two alternate member positions. Meetings are scheduled for the second and fourth Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. Contact the Land Use office at
860-485-2784 if interested.

The Recreation Commission encourages both the use of recreational facilities and program participation. The Conservation/Recreation Area offers a children's playground, picnic pavilion, sand volleyball court, hiking trails, tennis courts, pickleball courts, benches and picnic tables, and a fishing pond that is stocked with trout each spring. There are trails that link the
Conservation/Recreation Area to the Library, Town Hall and Sports Complex.
Recreational opportunities were offered for creative expression, socialization, personal growth, physical fitness, fun and relaxation. The Commission continued to offer a variety of both new and established programs this year.
In a continued attempt to maximize recreational services without duplication of effort or expense, we partnered with our Senior Center Director, Recycling Coordinator, Resident State
Trooper, Harwinton Youth Sports Association, Safe Harbor Youth Services, area recreation directors, town organizations and local service agencies.
Fields at the Sports Complex have now seen over three years of use, with teams playing soccer, baseball and lacrosse. The complex is one of the finest in the area, and a real credit to our Town.
Once again, it was the site of the regional Little League Tournament, hosted by Harwinton
Youth Sports Association. There is a strong cooperative effort between the Recreation
Department, the Highway Department and Harwinton Youth Sports Association to manage this facility for our Town and its youth.
The Recreation Commission continues to sponsor special events, free of charge, including the
Annual Children's Easter Egg Hunt and the 21st Annual Children's Fishing Derby held at the
Conservation/Recreation Area Pond. "Super Saturday Jamboree", an event sponsored with the
Recycling Coordinator, was expanded even more this year to include a Touch-A- Truck with a mock car rescue, kids bike rodeo, CPR demonstration, K-9 demo by the Resident Trooper, live entertainment and hands-on activities. It was a true community event, with numerous local groups and organizations taking part.
45

Also worthy of special note is Project Graduation, the alcohol free, substance free, after graduation party for high school seniors of Regional School District #10. The Harwinton and
Burlington Recreation Departments sponsored this event for the 24th consecutive year in an effort to keep our children safe on a night that can be very dangerous for students their age. We are grateful to the parents of the senior class and to our community, both businesses and individuals, for their support of this program.
Thank you to everyone who supported and contributed to recreation in our town. Special thanks go to the following groups and individuals:
Harwinton Ambulance Association for donating course instructors.
Harwinton Youth Sports Association for their donation of benches for the playscape area.
Jerry Biancucci for organizing fundraisers, including the 6th Annual Harwinton Road Race, to benefit the maintenance of the basketball courts adjacent to the Sports Complex.
Brian Cerruto and Putnam Tennis Courts for assistance with maintenance of the Town tennis courts.
M. Peabody Landscaping, Harwinton Rod and Gun Club, and Members of the Town Highway
Crew for providing financial assistance for the Annual Kids Fishing Derby.
Lake Harwinton Association for allowing use of their lake for the swim lesson program.
In 2012-2013 the Recreation Commission received revenues of $56,216.
The Recreation Commission meets the 4th Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at Town Hall.
Public input is always welcome.

There is no "dump site" or municipally contracted trash removal in Harwinton. Each household pays a hauler of their choice to pick up trash and recyclables from curbside. The hauler transports this waste to the Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority's (CRRA) transfer station in Torrington. It is then transported to its Hartford facility where the garbage is properly disposed. The recyclables are sorted and processed. Harwinton is charged a per-ton "tip fee" for garbage disposal, $61/ton FY 2012-2013. Residents pay twice for trash removal: hauler services and "tip fee." There is no fee charged for transporting and processing recyclables, collected single stream (no separating paper from other recyclables). Recyclables include: newspaper, catalogs, magazines, glossy paper, office paper, junk mail, brown paper bags, corrugated card board, glass and aluminum beverage containers, aluminum foil and foil containers, #1 - #7 plastic containers, milk and juice cartons, gray boxboard ( for eg., cereal, pasta, tissue, and gift boxes). Shredded paper must be "paper-bagged" to prevent littering in the collection process.
Residents and businesses are required by state law and local ordinance to recycle as much as possible to conserve natural resources, and keep town costs down by keeping weight out of the garbage stream. The state electronics recycling law requires municipalities to offer more electronics recycling opportunities for its residents. Harwinton held five collections during the year. Two used medication take back collections, organized through the State Police, were scheduled. The Town has renewed a fifteen year solid waste and recycling contract with CRRA.
The Town discontinued reimbursement of tip fees for hauler commercial accounts, saving
$39,155.71.

State Election Laws through the Secretary of State's Office prescribe the duties and responsibilities of the Registrars of Voters.
Registry and enrollment lists are maintained throughout the year and are updated regularly. A canvass of registered voters must be conducted each year. Notices of Intended Removal are sent out in order to update lists. Registrars also conduct all elections, primaries, referenda and ballot votes at town meetings and school budget meetings. Registrars are expected to attend district meetings in order to keep pace with the ever-changing election laws. Working with the
Burlington registrars and Lewis S. Mills High School, a special voter registration session is held annually at the high school for the benefit of seventeen and eighteen year olds.
Between the months of March & April, Harwinton participated in a ten year Redistricting of
Senatorial Districts 8 & 31. District lines were redrawn based on a population shift. The project was completed by June 1, 2012.

The Resident Troopers work in the Town of Harwinton under the command of Lieutenant
Stavros Mellekas of the Litchfield Barracks, Troop 'L'. They work closely with the Board of
Selectmen, and other Town departments, regarding many police and non-police related matters.
They also work with the newly appointed Region #10 School Resource Officer G. Torrence for matters both in and out of our schools.
Currently there are two Resident Troopers. T.F.C. W. Arbour #315 works the day shift, while
T.F.C. J. Uliano #828 and his K9 partner 'Max' work the evening shift.
In this fiscal year there were 5,507 calls for service. These included:
Traffic Accidents* - 114 (up from 103 in the previous year, possibly due to the extreme winter weather. *this includes our portion of Route 8
Burglar alarms, both residential and commercial - 170 (180 in the previous year)
Burglaries, both residential and commercial - 10 (down from 21 in the previous year; may be the result of higher Trooper visibility in the neighborhoods)
Narcotic Arrests - 31 (up from 18 in the previous year due to more aggressive patrols)
Larcenies - 25 (down from 28 in the previous year)
Traffic Stops, including our portion of Route 8, by ALL Troopers working our Town - 1,652
The remaining calls are for various other services to citizens.
We feel confident that we are reaching our goal of reducing criminal activity in Town through both proactive high visibility enforcement, and postings on our Town-wide neighborhood watch website harwintonwatchgroup.org. In the aftermath of Sandy Hook, we have also increased our presence at Harwinton Consolidated School, and have added an office within the school for all
Troopers in the area to use.
With your help we will continue to address the needs of the residents, and develop proactive programs to help make the Town as safe as possible.

I am pleased to report another step forward in our efforts to bring the Hungerford Museum into the 21st century. We purchased a new air conditioner with funds from the Thomaston Savings
Bank Foundation Inc. It uses a great deal less energy than our 1985 model, allowing us to control the temperature and humidity in the building to protect the collections therein.
We were fortunate to have BSA Troop 55 member Jacob Magnoli join the Hungerford team.
He was working towards his Eagle Award. His project was to implement the State's suggestions on removing the plantings around the building to reduce mold and mildew, and to direct rainwater from the building. Jake and the rest of Troop 55 removed the shrubs from the front of the building in one day. Cathy Zbuska of Cathy In The Garden provided Jake with technical information and formulated a new, more natural layout using native plants.
We assisted Dr. Joy Kasson of the University of South Carolina in her search for information on
Arthur Covey and Lois Lanskie.
Our fund raising drive spearheaded by Sunny Torres was very successful. We thank all those who gave so generously.
Carol Deleppo and Sunny were hard at work inventorying the collection. They have identified over 1800 items.
At our end-of-year meeting in October we decided to have the Museum open every Sunday from
June to October, 2014. We will be closed on the Sunday holidays such as the July 4th weekend.
This year’s featured display was a partial showing of our dress collection. Without our friends
Mark and Gail of the Torrington Historical Society, and Steve of the Gunn Museum of
Washington, we wouldn't have had enough mannequins for the exhibit.
2014 is the anniversary of the beginning of WW1.
We hope to see YOU there.

The TAHD served over 137,000 people in twenty boroughs, cities and towns covering 611 square miles. James B. Rokos, Director of Health for the past 45 years, retired on June 30, 2013.
Robert Rubbo was appointed the new Director of Health.
The TAHD Community Health Program investigated the following communicable diseases: 15
Campylobacteriosis, 12 Salmonellosis and 15 Giardiasis. TAHD nurses now use MAVEN, a secure electronic surveillance system that allows better collaboration with the State of
Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) and Foodborne Diseases Centers for Outbreak
Response Enhancement (FoodCORE). TAHD nurses provided case management on two cases of tuberculosis and four cases of latent tuberculosis infection. TAHD provided guidance to school nurses, daycares and community members on a variety of health issues. TAHD held 10 seasonal flu and pneumonia clinics where TAHD nurses administered 647 doses of flu vaccine, and 20 doses of pneumonia vaccine to local residents. 38 raccoons, bats, and other animals were submitted to the State Lab for Rabies testing.
Guidance on post exposure prophylaxis was provided. Ticks brought in by 87 residents were sent to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station to determine if they were positive for Lyme
Disease bacteria.
The TAHD Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program ensured that follow up care was provided for 54 children with elevated blood lead screening levels. Two new children required extensive case management due to lead poisoning. TAHD also collaborated with the Lead
Action Medicaid Participants (LAMPP) Program to assist property owners with lead abatement of their properties. Five properties with outstanding orders completed lead abatement.
Sanitarians and nurses did two partial lead inspections, and two epidemiological investigations to comply with State mandates. Abatement orders were issued for two properties. Educational sessions were held for area physicians and local child and family programs. Educational packets were distributed to group daycares. TAHD Healthy Homes Program conducted a total of 20 home inspections (13 initial and 7 follow-up).
The TAHD Immunization Action Program (IAP) works with local providers to ensure compliance with immunization laws among the pre-school population. The state online immunization registry continues to be a work in progress. Several private pediatric practices have been brought online. The state is working with Allscripts, one of the larger Electronic
Medical Records, in hopes the immunization records will be downloaded directly into the state registry but this is taking longer than expected. TAHD IAP enters immunization histories for four practices and searches for children who have left the pediatrician of record. Four practice site reviews have been completed (to review and account for federal vaccine provided to practices).
The TAHD Emergency Preparedness Program worked with community partners to provide emergency communication, ensure food and water safety and community hygiene following
Storms Sandy and Charlotte. TAHD participated in two statewide drills and one local drill. As a result of the after action reports, staff has improved response capabilities. TAHD partnered with
53

Charlotte Hungerford Hospital to provide an educational seminar "Critical Awareness:
Emergency Sheltering and At Risk Individuals" for local public safety officials. TAHD continued as the Regional Public Health Advisor for all local health departments in Region 5 of the Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS). Region 5
Emergency Support Function (ESF) #8, Public Health and Medical Services has been recognized by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) for its ability to respond to public health emergencies. Region 5 ESF #8 met the comprehensive preparedness benchmarks required by Project Public Health Ready (PPHR), a unique partnership between
NACCHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. PPHR is a criteria-based public health preparedness program that assesses local health department capacity to plan for, respond to, and recover from public health emergencies. TAHD joins a cohort of more than 300 local health departments across the country that have been distinguished for their agencies' preparedness efforts through PPHR, either individually or as part of a region.
The TAHD-Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Program partnered with the State Police Cadets to bring the MRC*B*READY school-age emergency preparedness program to after school sites sponsored by Education Connection of Litchfield. Approximately 200 families were reached through this initiative. TAHD MRC successfully secured a NACCHO grant to expand the
MRC*B*READY and MRC*B*FIT programs. MRC*B*FIT is a program designed to promote healthy activity and nutritional choices in school age children. The TAHD MRC provided community CPR instruction to 125 people in six communities. The TAHD MRC participated in five planned firefighter rehab activities. Members trained and provided rehab at a large multijurisdictional HAZMAT drill. In the summer of 2012, the TAHD MRC served as a host to an
AmeriCorps team. The team performed trail remediation work for community partners; the
Norfolk Land Trust and the Appalachian Mountain Club Berkshire Trails Division in order to improve the access for emergency vehicles on heavily hiked trails throughout the region. The group also delivered the MRC*B*READY educational program to approximately 500 school age children enrolled in Education Connection Summer School & Summer Camp Programs at multiple sites.
The TAHD completed year two as the fiduciary agent for the Community Transformation Grant
(CTG) Program for Litchfield County. The goal is to reduce chronic diseases by promoting healthy lifestyles (tobacco free living, active living, healthy eating, and quality preventive services) by focusing on changes to policies and systems. A Litchfield County Community
Needs Assessment was completed and is available online at www.tahd.org. In addition, five community teams were created in locations of greatest need and Community Health
Improvement Plans were developed for each, as well as for the county as a whole.
The TAHD continued its partnering with Phoenix Labs for its Water Testing Program. Phoenix
Labs is a full service lab located in Manchester, Connecticut, that offers a wide range of testing of drinking water, wastewater, groundwater/landfills, storm water, soil and more. The TAHD continues to collect samples when requested, and offers free technical advice on any water testing results.

TAHD Environmental Health Program resulted in the following inspections/licenses/permits:
1,853 food inspections, 657 temporary food permits, 90 new septic systems, 115 repaired septic systems, 180 private well permits, 85 private pool permits, 153 beauty salon & barber shop inspections, 504 house addition permits, 182 soil tests, 39 subdivision lots, 100 public pools and beaches were inspected, and 34 daycare centers inspected. Records show that 1,255 samples were submitted to the state lab for testing of drinking water, beach and pool water, lead in water and paint, asbestos, food, sewage and volatile organic compounds and pesticides in water.
Sanitarians investigated 363 complaints of various public health concerns; 28 legal orders/voluntary compliances were issued for enforcement purposes.

The Harwinton Zoning Board of Appeals, among other duties, holds public hearings to determine and vary the application of the zoning bylaws, ordinances or regulations in harmony with their general purpose and intent and with due consideration for public health, safety, welfare, and property values, where, owing to conditions especially affecting a parcel of land but not affecting generally the district or zone in which it is situated, a literal enforcement of such bylaws, ordinances or regulations would result in exceptional and unusual hardship. Any variance granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals runs with the land and is not personal in nature to the person who applies for or receives the variance.
When there is an application for a variance, an appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals or an application for the location of an auto repair shop and/or dealership, legal notice is published in the Republican American and a public hearing and regular meeting are held the second
Wednesday of the month at the Town Hall at 7:00 p.m.
Public hearings were held this fiscal year in July, November and December of 2012 and January and February of 2013. Additionally, the board held a special meeting in July. The board received four (4) variance applications, granting three (3) and denying one (1). In addition, the board granted a variance in July, 2013, which had been received at the close of the previous fiscal year. The Board sustained an appeal of a Zoning Commission determination that was received towards the end of the previous fiscal year. A total of $860 in fees was received.
The Zoning Board of Appeals consists of eight volunteers who are elected for a term of five years, with vacancies filled by the Board of Selectmen. The following members and alternate members served during this fiscal year:
Chairman Thomas J. Rotondo, Janet L. Duchaine, Mark Gelormino, Theodore W. Root, Kerri
Ouellette, Jesse Smith, John J. Christian, Jr. and Nancy Shanley-Schnyer.

If you are planning to construct or alter your house or add a structure on your property, you must complete a Zoning application obtained through the Land Use Office. For structures or additions in excess of 200 square feet, you must provide the Commission with a site plan certified by a licensed engineer. This is to assure the Commission that the size of the building or addition and distances from your neighbor's property lines are exact. Regulations prevent you from building too close to any of your boundaries and the Commission is entitled to know exactly where you wish to build. Structures under
200 square feet can be signed off by the Land Use Coordinator. Please examine the
Zoning Regulations and determine what zone you are in and then determine how far off each boundary line you must stay. Work involving grading, excavation or bringing-in of fill in excess of 50 cubic yards also requires a permit through the Zoning Commission.
The Commission has hired a new Zoning Enforcement Officer, David Perkins, who can be reached at 860-485-2784, extension 141. The Enforcement Officer conducts zoning inspections and receives written complaints. Office hours for the Enforcement Officer are the first and third Wednesday of every month, 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. He can also be contacted at zoningenforcementofficer@harwinton.us. Please be sure to contact him for erosion and sedimentation control inspections once they are in place. The ZEO also signs off on Certificates of Compliance after as-built plans are provided, reviewed and a final inspection by him is done. The Certificate of Compliance is then forwarded to the
Building Inspector for issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. The Commission would like to take this time to thank our previous Zoning Enforcement Officer, Karen Nelson, for her many years of service.
For the period of July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013, the Zoning Commission generated $9,145.00 from five (5) new home construction applications, forty-four (44) other permits for additions, garages, barns, decks, sheds and pools and sixteen (16) home occupation renewals. Two (2) Special Permits were issued after public hearings were held. Those applications included a Special Permit for Sale of Liquor within a proposed restaurant on Birge Park Road and for the re-establishment of a Bed & Breakfast on
South Road.
The Zoning Commission consists of volunteers who devote many hours of service to ensure that the Zoning Regulations are adhered to and are current. Those members are:
Todd Ouellette, Chairman, Anne Marie Buonocore, Secretary, Nancy LaGanga, Don
Truskauskas, Cory Iacino, Alternate Members Glenn Bradley, Robert Lavoie and Kevin
Ferrarotti.
