Meet the Mayoral Candidates 2013
The Town Plot Neighborhood Association will transform its typical Monthly Member Meeting into a Meet the Mayoral Candidates on October 8th, 2013. The Association, which has been in a revival mode for over a year, has had a packed house in their recent meetings. Keynote speakers of the past few months include Chief of Staff Geary (in May), Chief of Police Riddick (in June), and Mayor O'Leary (in September); the Association does not host meetings in July or August.
All three Mayoral candidates have replied affirmatively to a request by the Association for them to appear in a unique format. President Vincent E. Martinelli said that the Board of Directors had previously agreed not to host any such forum, but, after several requests from members, and non-members, the outcry for such an event was daunting. Despite being the keynote speaker at their recent meeting, and having top brass represent the Mayor's office in recent months, Mayor O'Leary canceled a fundraiser so that he would be able to participate in this event. Sources from the Mayor's office didn't say whether the cancellation was due to lack of interest in the fundraiser, or if the Mayor was concerned over losing votes in the highest registered voter precincts in the City. Town Plot Hill not only has highest population of registered voters per capita, but it also has the three highest voter turnout precincts in the City; Waterbury typically averages around 21% turnout, while Town Plot Hill is more than double that, at 54%.
Martinelli wouldn't comment on the nature of the forum until each candidate has been given a complete set of rules, but said, "This is not a debate. This forum is unlike any I've seen before, and it has been carefully designed to allow each candidate an opportunity to prove their qualifications and leadership abilities." The Tuesday, October 8th event will begin at 7:00 p.m., and the Association is working with three Highland Avenue venues to determine the best location for the event. Martinelli said that he expects a record number of guests to attend.
The Candidates include Lawrence De Pillo (I), Neil O'Leary (D), and Jason Van Stone (R).

Membership is Vital to Quality of Life
The recent threat of having a telephone communications tower installed in Town Plot Hill has many residents in an uproar. Neighbors say that the tower would be intrusive, ugly, and dangerous to human health.
Town Plot Neighborhood Association President Vincent E. Martinelli said that he expects loud and vocal resistance to the idea. The proposed location in Town Plot Hill is central to the business district and Town Plot Park. Martinelli said that there are many members of the Association who live within the immediate area, and said that the project will have an uphill battle with residents.
The zoning change violation fiasco a mile away, also in Town Plot Hill, which was stopped last year due to intervention by the Association, was not stopped this time around because residents in that area did not have the support of the Association, and their fight was futile. Now the residents will need to retain an attorney and pay all related costs out of their pockets.

Cell Company Seeks Town Plot Re-Zone

Town Plot Neighborhood Association Leadership
10/31/2014 President: Vincent E. Martinelli Vice-President: Maria Grazia Cavallo Sergeant-at-Arms: Ed Senk Association Increases Membership

Martinelli, and with the selfless assistance of Board of Directors members RoyAnn James-Ellerbee and Clorinda Hanlon, there has been an increase in volunteerism, morale, meeting attendance, event attendance, and membership. When Martinelli took office, the Town Plot Neighborhood Association had a total of 12 members, average meeting attendance of 16 people, and scarce participation. Volunteerism and morale was also at an all-time low. Through the innovations of James-Ellerbee and Hanlon, membership increase to a total of 169 paid-up members in good standing, average meeting attendance for the last 18 months was 69 people, and representatives from various City appointed, elected, and employed people is common. Martinelli was unavailable for comment, but sources say that he endeavors to become the President of the Waterbury Neighborhood Council and will not seek election as President of the Town Plot Neighborhood Association.

DECEMBER 2013
Town Plot: Busy Week WATERBURY, TOWN PLOT: To start off the week, the Waterbury Sons and Daughters of Italy hosted its Christmas Party on Monday, December 9th, 2013, and then the Town Plot Neighborhood Association hosted its Christmas Party on Tuesday, December 10th, and so did the Masonic Lodge. The Our Lady of Mount Carmel School hosted their weekly Bingo on Thursday. The Town Plot Bar Hop is scheduled for Friday, December the 13th, 2013 at several of Town Plot's finest bars and restaurants. The neighborhood, touted as being the most Italian in the City, has for years enjoyed having many quaint and quality restaurants within walking distance of the entire neighborhood. This was not by accident, as Town Plot is the oldest, and only planned, neighborhood of scale. The Town Plot Bar Hop successfully drew dozens of participants, and plans are already being made for an Ap POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO SCHOOL CLOSINGS: Kennedy High School is hosting their Annual Toy Drive & Drop on Saturday, December 14th, 2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., along with Member Drives and informational presentations from the Town Plot Neighborhood Association, the Town Plot Sports Association, the Liberty-Continental Lodge, the Town Plot Citizens Patrol, the Harmony Lodge, the Doric Chapter Order of DeMolay, the Waterbury Sons and Daughters of Italy, the Ciochetti Foundation, Girls Inc, a food drive, children's coat drive, and children's gloves, mittens, and scarves drive, a bake sale, and other attractions.

Association Membership is Vital to Preservation of Quality of Way of Life
The recent threat of having a telephone communications tower installed in Town Plot Hill has many residents in an uproar. Neighbors say that the tower would be intrusive, ugly, and dangerous to human health.
Town Plot Neighborhood Association President Vincent E. Martinelli said that he expects loud and vocal resistance to the idea. The proposed location in Town Plot Hill is central to the business district and Town Plot Park. Martinelli said that there are many members of the Association who live within the immediate area, and said that the project will have an uphill battle with residents. The zoning change violation fiasco a mile away, also in Town Plot Hill, which was stopped last year due to intervention by the Association, was not stopped this time around because residents in that area did not have the support of the Association, and their fight was futile. Now the residents will need to retain an attorney and pay all related costs out of their pockets. "A simple $10 per year membership", Martinelli added, "would have stopped the project in its track at no cost to the residents nor the Association." When asked if the Association will fund the fight, Martinelli said, "This is a decision which will be made by the Board of Directors. The residents in the area already contacted the Association - which they do only when they need something from us - asking for us to fund at least part of the legal battle. I'm sure that I can convince the Association to foot the entire bill, up to 10% of the total collected in new dues by residents in the immediate vicinity. Shy of that, the Association may decline the invitation to pay for something which could have been avoided on the grounds that apparently - based on membership contributions and neighbor participation - the vast majority of neighborhood residents are not opposed to the project." Martinelli also said that some residents proposed to the City that a new street light be installed at the intersection of Bradley Avenue and Wesley street, but the attempt failed largely due to the fact that the well-intentioned advocates neither informed nor asked the Association for guidance or support. The replication of the recently highly successful citizen patrol of the Historic Overlook District Neighborhood Association was nearly dead in the water at Town Plot Hill, Martinelli said, since former Association President Joseph Savoy - spearhead of the endeavor - also didn't bring his idea to the Association for guidance or support. In a private conversation between Martinelli, Police Chief Riddick, and Police Lieutenant Stephenson - all whom were unaware of Savoy's intents - this topic was discussed energetically. Martinelli said that the new citizen patrol in Town Plot Hill - dubbed Town Plot Security - was not in real danger "of being shot down because the residents and Association are greatly in favor of such a patrol", but noted that the integrity of former Waterbury Police Officer Savoy - at least in the eyes of the Waterbury Police Department - was seriously tarnished, and the Police Department considered disallowing Savoy's project, or perhaps allowing it but without the involvement of Savoy. |
