<DIV><B>First, the famous fence will be gone by the end of today. I can
not drop names but we received very important phoen calls this morning from
key people who read the below article and took positive action. It is on
the front page of the Meriden Record Journal! They proved that fence is
not legal. Therefore, it has to go. No further action is necessary
by NFB at this time. Please read John's entire post because the article
is full of wrong info.</B></DIV>

<P> SOUTHINGTON - A fence put up near the Lincoln Lewis Terrace has a
resident upset.</P>
<P>John West lives in the Lincoln Lewis apartments at 43 Academy St. He needs
a wheelchair to get around and would like to use the handicapped-accessible
sidewalk to get from his home to the Apple Harvest Festival. He could leave
his home from a different exit and travel on Academy Street, but he said such
a route is too dangerous to go on in his wheelchair. Using the exit that is
blocked by wooden fence would put him right near the amusement rides at the
festival.</P>
<P>"They can't block a building or a handicapped-accessible walkway," West
said. West moved to the apartment complex with his wife, Anne West, nearly two
months ago. They traveled down the sidewalk to get to the center of town for
Music on the Green over the summer.</P>
<P>"They should at least put a gate so people can walk through or come through
to go to the festival," West said. The fence was put up Friday afternoon,
according to West.</P>
<P>Town Manager Garry Brumback said for the last 12 years the temporary fence
has been put up during the festival in order to preserve the integrity of the
festival and provide security.</P>
<P>Brumback said he's provided West accommodations such as alternate means of
transportation and even got the housing authority director involved to help
West and make arrangements.</P>
<P>West said he could take advantage of some other means of transportation,
but asked why should he have to when the festival is 50 feet away from
him?</P>
<P>"It doesn't belong there," West said, adding that there's no safety issue
and if someone wanted to knock the fence down they could. The fence isn't
sturdy and is held together by wire.</P>
<P>West said he doesn't know what the town is trying to do by barricading the
complex. He doesn't think he or his wife will make it down to the festival
because of the fence.</P>
<P>Brumback said the town reached out to West and tried everything they could,
but West wasn't flexible.<BR></P>
<P>From my Facebook comment :<BR></P>
<P>Here is a summary of the wrong statements by Mr. Brumback--<BR></P>
<P><SPAN class=commentBody data-jsid="text">Ok here we go- the Town Manager
Garry Brumback twisted the truth royally 1,) the temporary fence has only been
here for 3-4yrs, 2.) Accomodation?? What accomodations?? none were offered. Is
accessibility worth it?? You make the judgement and let me know..</SPAN></P>
