of the volunteer firefighters of Newington, who honored their fallen comrades Friday, March 11, by flying a 30 by 58-foot American flag, outside the department headquarters at 1485 Main St. “People tend to forget,” said Deputy Chief Frank Papa of the Newington Volunteer Fire Department. “We want to do anything we can to remind people of the sacrifices that were made that day … this is our way of saying don’t forget.” The 75-pound flag, known as the Patriot Flag is part of a national project of patriotism headed by the World Memorial, a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping the memories of those lost on 9/11 alive. The organization plans to fly the flag across 50 states in 50 weeks before September 11, 2011. The flag will travel to Pennsylvania, New York City, and Washington D.C. on September 11, 2011. As of March 13, the flag had flown in 30 states and 75 cities since its journey began in August 2010. “It’s a great honor for this town to have this flying here today,” said Mayor Mike Lenares. “I think the firefighters and the police department should be honored to have this flag flying in their town.” The Newington Volunteer Fire Department raised the flag that rainy afternoon from the ladder of Company 1’s ladder truck. According to Papa, the flag-raising required the assistance of 15 people to hoist the enormous flag into position. The folding process would require even more — about 24 people — to prevent the flag from touching the ground.

A member of the Newington Volunteer Fire Department signs a section of the Partiot Flag. This section was removed from the original flag for signing by the World Memorial and a substitute piece was sewn onto the flag.
“A lot of firefighters were around when 9/11 happened,” said Captain Ernie Robert of the Newington Volunteer Fire Department. “Some of us got to go, some of us didn’t. The firefighting community is like a large fraternity, when one of us gets hurt we all get hurt.” Robert discovered the Patriot Flag project during a recent vacation in Florida. He informed Papa of the memorial, who discovered the flag was to fly in Milford March 12 and in the New Haven
St. Patrick’s Day Parade March 13. “I thought it was a great opportunity to be part of history,” said Papa. The Newington volunteer Fire Department is also in the process of acquiring steel from one of the World Trade Center towers. According toPapa, a 9/11 memorial is planned to be built at the historic firehouse on the corner of Bonair Avenue and Main Street using this piece of steel.

Central CT Health District proposes $50k budget increase By BRYAN KOENIG STAFF WRITER
BERLIN — The Central Connecticut Health District is proposing a $50,000 budget increase for the new fiscal year, with an increase to Berlin of $418. The health district is a quasigovernmental entity formed by Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill and Wethersfield. Each town contributes on a per capita basis, with $4.06 paid for every resident in the town. The budget is scheduled to be reviewed by the district’s 11-member board of directors at a public hearing next Wednesday
at 6:30 p.m. at Newington’s Senior and Disabled Center at 120 Cedar St. A final vote on the budget by the board is expected soon after the public hearing. Board members are appointed to three-year terms by the town councils of each town. According to the district’s director of health, Paul Hutcheon, the board usually approves a budget similar to the one reviewed at
the hearing. “We don’t typically make a whole lot of changes following the public hearing,” he said.

Mayor Mike Lenares — prepared for the job ahead economic growth of Newington forward, which includes the revitalization of the Market Square, of which he is a committee member, and the completion of the Clem Lemire artificial turf field. To keep Newington moving forward toward economic growth, Lenares said that party lines within the town council must be crossed. Lenares set his example of overcoming party lines by electing Democrat Scott McBride as his replacement for deputy mayor. “I don’t want to hear Democrat or Republican anymore on this council. It’s all about moving Newington forward. He was the highest votegetter and he has been my close friend for years,” said Lenares about McBride. “It’s all about Newington right now.”
The $3.7 million budget, as proposed by Town Manager John Salomone, calls for a 3 percent Newington’s change of municiincrease in municipal taxes. pal leadership two weeks ago has Lenares said the resignation of abruptly left the former Deputy Wright during the beginning of the Mayor Republican Mike Lenares budget season did not have a big as the newest leader of the town of impact on the council’s approach to Newington.

and was elected to the Newington Town Council as a Republican. In addition to his role in Newington politics, Lenares is also a small business owner in town. He owns Lenares Landscaping and Design and Allied Ornamental, a fertilizing company. As for the upcoming municipal election in November, Lenares said he was unsure if he would run for the position of mayor. His two children and wife come first, he said. “By Mayor Wright resigning and me taking over now for the next eight months, gives me the perfect opportunity to see what being mayor is like and if I am going to run for election…,” said Lenares,
“I honestly don’t know at this point what I am going to do.” Lenares said he has already completed one goal his daughter had always seen him accomplishing — to one day have his portrait hanging in the lobby of the Town Hall. “My daughter always said, ‘One of these days, Daddy, your picture is going to be up there,’ and now here it is,” he said, for now that’s enough. As for the next eight months of his tenure as Newington’s mayor, Lenares said, “I will do my best. I’m sure we will make mistakes. We’re human it is going to happen, but if we do make mistakes we will make adjustments and move forward.”
Fate of Waterfall Festival does not look promising Festival committee struggles to find volunteers to lead preparations for the fall festival By Alex Syphers Staff Writer
The Newington Waterfall Festival would have been celebrating its eighth annual celebration this fall. Yet, as of this week, the fate of the upstart tradition seems to have been sealed, as cancelled. The successful operation of the Waterfall Festival, a local celebration held on Market Square, relies on a committee of local volunteers, known as the Newington Waterfall Festival Committee. The committee is headed by former Newington resident Val Ginn, who for the last seven years devoted her time to the successful operation of the festival. This year Ginn has resigned from her position as the chairperson and as of the committee’s March 14 meeting a replacement has not been found. Preparations for
The current committee members are overwhelmed, said Ginn, and do not have the time to commit to the festival.

To try to relieve pressures placed on the chairperson, Ginn has created the three other committee positions that need to be filled. The Newington Waterfall festival started in 2001 as a way to bring awareness to the Newington’s downtown area. It is held annually in late September. The festival features arts and crafts vendors, food stands, an artist’s chalk walk, and live entertainment for both adults and children. “I think it is a great tradition for Newington. I think it is something the town needs,” said Ginn. “It would be a sad moment for Newington if the festival were cancelled.” To learn more about the Newington Waterfall Festival Committee and available positions, contact Val Ginn at: (860) 571-0084.

The line of business I am in affords me the opportunity to come in contact with many different people and many different topics of interest. A radio talk show makes everyone listen and take notice — topics from why soy is not good for you to people who say they have been abducted by aliens. We have had people who make a good case that they have. And they look normal. Governors, lieutenant governors, business owners, historians — the list goes on and on and on. These are all good people who have a deep conviction about many fields of expertise and share with my listeners and myself stories and facts, some funny, some sad; all interesting. Political correctness moderates what we do today as the Inquisition in Spain moderated behavior centuries ago. To be politically Phil Mikan correct you do not talk about God. In fact, we as a nation are now embarrassed to say publicly that God is with us, does care for our well being and affects our daily life. That statement makes people uncomfortable
D.U.I. roving patrols
In an effort to deter motorists from driving while under the influence of alcohol and or drugs, the Newington Police Department will be conducting additional D.U.I. roving patrols during the week of March 14 through March 21. Funding for the additional patrols was made possible by a grant from the Connecticut Department of Transportation. Each year thousands of lives are lost, many more are injured as a result of alcohol related accidents. The Newington Police Department hopes that its efforts will provide safer traveling and greater awareness of the results of driving under the influence and help reduce the loss of lives and injuries by removing intoxicated drivers from the roads.
Newington Relay for Life seeks survivors and participants
Relay for Life of Newington, an 18-hour, overnight walk-a-thon to benefit the American Cancer Society, is scheduled for May 20 and 21 at Mill Pond Park in Newington. We are currently seeking cancer survivors and their caregivers, as well as participants, to be a part of this heartfelt event. Cancer survivors and their caregivers are invited to come and walk the first lap of the event and are honored with a reception following this lap. In the evening, there is a luminaria ceremony in which white bags with candles line the track honoring our survivors, and remembering those who have lost their battle with cancer. Last year, Newington’s relay had over 500 participants and raised over $90,000 for the fight against cancer. If you would like be participate, contact Amy Lungu, event chair (aelungu13@yahoo.com) or visit relayforlife. org/newingtonct for more information.

and embarrassed. We, as a country, have come a long way. We are embarrassed to admit our need and belief in God. A long way from “In God we trust.” Then our maker will, every once in a while, show himself. We are shown public miracles, events that can only be orchestrated by God. A 40-year-old, three-term congresswoman is shot in the head. The bullet passes from the back to the front of her head, exits and she lives and is now in rehab. Bristol Mayor Art Ward goes to a local event and chokes on a piece of steak and is rushed to the Bristol Hospital. He held on to his life for days, was in a coma for days, and is back at work today. God’s work shines; all we have to do is look for it. Any day we could be Gabby Giffords or Art Ward. We all are a moment away from a reckoning. When the moment comes, are we too embarrassed to call for God’s help and intervention, or do we embrace the God force we have seen but not acknowledged? A point to ponder. Phil Mikan is the host of “The Phil Mikan Show” on WMRD 1150/ WLIS AM 1420 daily at 10 a.m., and the Weekend Corner on Saturdays from 9 to 11 a.m. He can be reached at phil@philmikan.com or write him at Phil Mikan, Central Connecticut Communications, One Herald Square, New Britain, CT 06051.

Roberts takes head football coach position
By Joe Fortunato Staff Writer
Newington High School hired Roy Roberts as the school’s next head football coach Friday. Roberts will be replacing former head coach Clayton Hillyer, who resigned at the end of last season. Hillyer had surgery to remove a cancerous kidney last season, and missed a few games as a result. It appears likely the illness was at least part of Hillyer’s decision to resign. Hillyer did finish the football season before he resigned. Newington Athletic Direction Nick Barbieri was obviously pleased with the hire of Roberts. “Roy definitely has a clear cut vision, and it is all about the kids,” he said. “He has some great ideas and he’s very organized. We share the same dynamics, and I was very happy with our meeting today.” Barbieri was especially impressed with the future outlook that Roberts brought to the table. “His vision that he shared and his philosophy was clear from the beginning,” he said. “You could see that he was all about growth and development. He will really
get the kids ready and get them to believe that they can play sports in college at whatever level they choose.” There was also a level of common ground with the hire. “Roy played at Central, and I think it’s a big piece of the puzzle because we know where Roy came from,” Barbieri said. “We model our strength and conditioning program around [CCSU’s] a little bit and Roy is familiar with that.” The Indians, who finished last season 0-10, will be a very different looking team under Roberts. “I have a lot of confidence with him bringing the team to the next level, with that comes a lot of planning and organization and management, and he’s prepared for that,” he said. Barbieri expects his new coach to focus on the mental aspects of the game along with the actual play on the field. “He gives the kids confidence to move on and ensures that they’re making the right choices along the way,” Barbieri said. “I see him being ready to get down to business and the team is ready and waiting as well.”
Announcing the new coaches The Newington High School Athletic Department would like to announce the appointment of three new head coaches for the Fall 2011-12 Athletic Season. Brian Bishop was named the Head Cross-Country Coach for both the boys and girls program and will also be the Head Boys’ Outdoor Track Coach for
