was a nostalgic, old-time American feel about the cars, but the people enjoying the night ranged in age from one month old to 86 years old. A love for classic cars knows no age.

Some of the participants in the show took time to explain the stories behind their treasured vehicles.

VA to expand housing for homeless veterans and their families

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will develop housing opportunities for homeless and at-risk veterans at 34 VA locations across the country. Newington’s Willard Ave. campus is on the list of affected locations.

“This initiative will significantly support our efforts to eliminate veteran homelessness and improve quality of life for veterans,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “We have a moral obligation to ensure that veterans and their families have access to affordable housing and medical services that will help them get back on their feet.

A recent strategic study, the Building Utilization Review and Repurposing (BURR) initiative, identified unused and underused buildings at existing VA property

with the potential to develop new housing opportunities for homeless or at-risk veterans and their families through public-private partnerships and VA’s enhanceduse lease (EUL) program. Under the EUL program, VA retains ownership of the land and can determine and control its reuse.

Additional opportunities identified through BURR will include housing for returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families, assisted living for elderly veterans and continuum of living residential communitieis.

The project will support VA’s goal of ending veteran homelessness by providing safe, affordable, cost effective, and sustainable

housing for veterans on a priority basis. To expedite the project, contractors were asked to develop multiple sites in a region. VA held a one-day national Industry Forum in Chicago for interested organizations June 13.

Supportive housing projects are planned for homeless veterans and their families at 23 VA sites.

Under the enhanced-use lease agreements, veterans will receive senior and non-senior independent living and assisted living at eleven sites: Newington; Augusta, Ga.; Marion, Ill.; Topeka, Kansas; Togus, Maine; Grand Island, Neb.; Big Springs and Kerrville, Texas; Martinsburg, W.Va. and Cheyenne, Wyo.

Newington Health Care Center receives award

Newington Health Care Center has been recognized as a 2011 recipient of the Bronze — Commitment to Quality National Quality Award for its outstanding performance in the health care profession.

The award, presented by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL), highlights facilities across the nation that have demonstrated their intention to pursue a rigorous quality improvement system.

“This award signifies a great commitment to quality care and an important step in raising the standards of sustainable, person-centered care and services,” says Governor Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/ NCAL. “We congratulate Newington Health Care Center on this achievement.”

Implemented by AHCA/ NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is centered on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The program assists providers of long term and postacute care services in achieving their performance excellence goals.

The program has three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Facilities begin the quality improvement process at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational

profile with essential performance elements such as vision and mission statements and an assessment of customers’ expectations. Bronze applicants must demonstrate their ability to implement a performance improvement system.

A team of trained Examiners reviews each Bronze application to determine if the facility has met the demands of the criteria.

As a recipient of the Bronze — Commitment to Quality award, Newington Health Care Center may now move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the criteria required for the Silver — Achievement in Quality award.

“The recipients of the quality awards exemplify the energy and dedication required to advance quality care to the next level,” says Chick Stepahin, Chair, AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board of Overseers. “Improving quality care is an evolutionary cycle, and these facilities are the forerunners of the movement.”

The awards are sponsored

by AHCA/NCAL Associate Business Member My InnerView, a Web-based applied research and quality-management company that supports leaders across the entire assisted living, senior housing and skilled nursing profession with tools to measure, benchmark and improve performance.

Officers receive Excellence Award Nafis bill will help people

On May 25, Officers Jeffrey Wagner and Wayne Kornbrath were awarded the Newington Police Department’s Excellence in Police Award for actions during a robbery complaint.

On Nov. 6, 2010, at 1:12 p.m. a victim contacted the Police Department on 911 to report that he had been robbed on East Cedar Street. Kornbrath, K-9 Officer Wagner and K-9 Archi were dispatched to investigate.

Investigation into the incident determined that a cab driver had been assaulted and robbed by two male customers that were previously riding in his cab.

The suspect males reportedly cursed his race and religion, spit on him, and accused him of being

a terrorist. The cab driver reported that he thought the men were going to kill him.

The suspects fled on foot and upon arrival, Wagner observed two males running from the rear of a local business.

Wagner pursued the males on foot issuing orders for them to stop. When they didn’t respond, he issued a K-9 release warning, further instructing the assailants to stop. K-9 Archi was eventually deployed to apprehend the fleeing felons. K-9 Archi knocked one of the suspects, later identified as Gerald F. Margelot Jr., to the ground while the second male continued to flee the area on foot.

K-9 Archi held Margelot Jr. at bay until Wagner arrived.

While attempting to handcuff Margelot Jr., Wagner encountered significant physical resistance.

During the struggle the suspect was bitten by K-9 Archi but continued to engage Wagner in a hand to hand altercation.

Wagner suffered a broken hand as a result of his struggle with the suspect.

Kornbrath had arrived by this time and also engaged the suspect.

Kornbrath also received significant resistance from the armed suspect.

The suspect continued to struggle and bit Kornbrath on the leg. Both suspects were eventually arrested on several robbery and assault related charges.

with disabilities to vote

State Rep. Sandy Nafis (D-Newington) announced that a bill she sponsored making it simpler for people with permanent disabilities passed the state legislature this week.

“Citizens should not lose their ability to vote just because of a disability,” said Nafis. “This bill ensures that everyone will have an opportunity to exercise their constitutional rights and a cast a ballot.”

The bill (SB 939) would permit the automatic mailing of absentee ballots at election time to permanently disabled voters. Voters would have to file an absentee ballot application together with a doctor’s certificate stating that they have a permanent disability and are unable to appear in person at their polling place if they want to be added to their town’s list for

automatic ballots.

Nafis introduced the legislation because one of her constituents, a Newington woman, has difficulty making trips to town hall, because of a disability.

Nafis added, “This is the fifth year that I introduced legislation like this, and I’m elated that we finally passed this bill. Now it will be so much easier for my constituents and other voters throughout the state to cast ballots.”

The bill is supported by the League of Women Voters and Secretary of the State Denise Merrill. The bill now heads to the governor for his signature.

Nafis was first elected to the legislature in November 1998 to represent Newington’s 27th Assembly District.

Town Council

At the June 14 Town Council meeting, there was avid public participation, with over 20 people rising to voice opinions on the Cedar Mountain development by Toll Brothers.

This response was unanimously against the development. There were two speakers in the crowd from the Wethersfield side of the mountain also opposed to the project.

A blight subcommittee of

council members Maureen Klett (D), Scott McBride (D) and David Nagel (R) was established to address the new blight ordinance that is to be resolved by October 1, 2011.

Two base bids were accepted for work in the school system.

Base Bid A to Connecticut Carpentry Corporation of Rocky Hill for $638,000 for Newington H.S. code compliance alteration site work — and Base Bid B to Millenium Builders of Rocky Hill for $336,975 for Newington H.S.

code compliance alteration site work. The council authorized Town Manager John L. Salomone to execute contracts to both.

Finally, on the Cedar Mountain property appraisal of the Balf Property (Block Lot No. 11/320/000), the council authorized the Town Manager to seek an appraisal in an amount not to exceed $15,000.

Appropriations will be from the Town Land Acquisition Fund.

Newington’s John McCarthy graduates from Watkinson School On June 10 at 10 a.m., 44 students including Newington resident John McCarthy, celebrated Watkinson School’s 130th commencement in Hartford.

Despite the white dresses and matching ties, the ceremony was anything but traditional. Watkinson’s mission is

to “develop in our students the power to shape their lives and the world around them,” so years ago the administration decided that instead of inviting an outside speaker, it would be more meaningful to have the graduates themselves offer advice and reflections to their peers.

McCarthy was among 20 seniors that completed this rigorous process and presented regarding their experiences at Watkinson — what they learned, loved, and what they will keep with them as they head off to college and beyond.

Any graduating senior can opt

to perform or speak at graduation, but they must go through a long, serious process of draft writing, reflection and practice, attending to deadlines along the way.

Senior presentations ranged from heartfelt speeches to songs, poems, and dance performances.

Local teen goes to extraordinary “lengths” for cancer survivors

Local News

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

On June 4, Newington teen Brenda Teall Winn, who is going to be a junior at Kingswood-Oxford in the fall, scheduled an appointment to have over 11 inches of her hair cut off at Contemporary Image in Newington.

Her hair was then donated to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program to be used to make real hair wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments.

Brenda answered some questions about her decision for the program.

What drew you into this program instead of the more widely known Locks of Love?

The two other family friends I have that donated both used Pantene Beautiful lengths, so I researched the difference. I found on Locks of Love website this: • Q. What do the children pay for these hairpieces?

A. We provide hairpieces and repairs free of charge or on a sliding scale based on the financial need of those responsible for the children.

• Q. What is the retail cost of the What made you want to donate hairpieces? your hair?

A. Between $3,500 and $6,000.

Honestly, my hair was getting long at the end of eighth grade, and I believe that cancer patients I had always heard of, or known deserve more than that and Pantene people that have, donated hair. I gives the wigs, so they take donaalways wanted to, but never really tions, and then donate wigs. Also, thought of it seriously. On a whim Locks of Love openly admits that basically, I said to my dad “How they sell extra hair, so it is no about I donate it?” and from there, guarantee that all of the hair will I just let my hair grow. be used, and if I am growing my hair (effortless) then cutting it and

It is encouraging when local businesses partner with us in support of people in Connecticut battling this lifealtering illness. Gianni and his team of esteemed stylists are making a real difference in their community and beyond.”

Stories are an essential part of owning a great classic car Photos by Chris Richie

More stories: 1970 GTO Judge Owner Scott Conley This gem was previously owned by pro baseball player Jason Kendall of the Pirates.

Conley is an avid classic car collector and this is his 47th car, family tradition.

Conley bought this car on e-Bay two years ago. The car came with Kendall’s rookie ball and bat, uniform and even an original box of Kendall Krunch Cereal.

The car is in it original condition and has all original paperwork. Conley took a 1st place trophy at a Wallingford show a few weeks ago. Conley loves showing his car at all Connecticut car shows and cruise nights.

Joey Garcia with his Chevy Impala low rider.

^ The story:

1971 Chevy Impala, low rider Owners, Joey and Nancy Garcia of Newington When Joey first bought his Impala 21 years ago, he took the car to Cruise Branford a couple days later. They put him in the wrong class — modified instead of low rider. Since then, Joey ha slowly made changes to his car and brings the car to as many shows as possible just for the love of showing. He loves the atmosphere of these cars shows.

The specs: Seventh set-up of hydraulics, original interior, motor redone, chain steering wheel.

Bob Zysk of Newington sits in his 1955 Buick Super. Zysk recently drove his daughter to prom in the classic ride.

^ The story:

1955 Buick Super 4d Sedan Owner, Bob Zysk Bob bought the car in 1990 for $650. When first saw car, although it was in extremely rough shape from being stored and had raccoons living in it, it was love at first sight. He saw the frame was good and just could not pass on buying this car for a steal of $650. It’s taken Zysk 16 years but the car is finally restored and Zysk loves showing it at street shows like Cruise Newington.

1957 Chevy Bel-Air Owner, Tony B Tony has owned this car for the past three years. This is a dream car for him as he has always wanted one since he was a young teenager. He is slowly restoring the car.

He won an award at Cruise Newington.

Health District announces start of mosquito testing program

The Central Connecticut Health District will announce the resumption of mosquito monitoring by the Connecticut Mosquito Management Program. As in previous years, mosquitoes will be collected around the state to detect the presence of viruses that can cause illness in people, such as West Nile Virus (WNV) and eastern equine encephalitis (EEE). The mosquito trapping and testing program, coordinated by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, began May 31. As in the past several years, mosquitoes will be trapped and tested from 91 trap sites in 72 municipalities around the state. Two of those sites are within the Central CT Health

District, one in Newington and the other in Wethersfield. In 2010, eleven Connecticut residents were identified with WNV infections, fortunately no deaths were reported.

To minimize the risk of acquiring a mosquito-borne illness, residents are urged to take steps to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.

These steps include the following personal protection and environmental measures: Avoid outdoor activities one hour before and one hour after dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.

Wear long sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors; it is especially important to cover the arms and legs of children.

No product containing DEET should be used on infants less than 2 months old.

Cover babies’ playpens and carriages with mosquito netting when outdoors.

Avoid camping near fresh water swamps and use mosquito netting in tents.

Stay indoors when mosquitoes are numerous.

Eliminate sources of standing water such

as stagnant ponds, ditches, flower pots and old tires, as mosquito only needs a few tablespoons of water to lay eggs. Drain children’s pools, clean clogged gutters, and flush birdbaths and fountains once or twice a week.

Dispose of tin cans, plastic containers, and any similar containers that have accumulated on your property, and drill holes in the bottoms of recycling and garbage containers that are left outside.

Make sure your property is graded properly and has adequate drainage. Look for places where rainwater collects and fill all holes and depressions. Mosquitoes will breed in any puddle that lasts more than 4 days.

Store boats, wheelbarrows, and containers upside down. If you have a pond, be sure it is aerated or stocked with fish such as goldfish and minnows, which eat mosquito larvae.

Patch holes in screens and make sure screens are tightly attached to doors and windows.

Use low toxicity insecticides and always follow the directions on the products. When

applying sprays, be sure to keep the wind at your back, carry the spray away from you, and avoid personal contact with it and excessive inhalation of spray materials.

Place bat houses on your property.

Anyone with questions or concerns about mosquito control, WNV, or any public health issue may contact the Central Connecticut Health District, celebrating 15 years of community service, at www.ccthd.org (860721-2822) or The Connecticut Department of Public Health at www.ct.gov/mosquito.

Brochures about mosquito control and West Nile Virus also are available from the Central CT Health District.

Additional information about mosquito control can also be obtained from the CT Department of Environmental Protection at www.ct.gov/dep, the CT Agricultural Experiment Station at www.ct.gov.caes, and the CT Dept. of Agriculture at www.ct.gov/ doag. Inquiries about pesticide-related subjects are handled through the National Pesticide Information Center at 1-800-858-7378.

Newington Mustangs go to 2-1 for the season

The Newington Mustangs went into the second game of the young season with a high spirit on June 18 at Legends Field in Newington.

They finished with a drained and frustrated feeling, as the Colchester Dirtbags, whom the Mustangs eliminated in last season’s playoffs, held them down to 2 hits and one run, in a 9-1 loss, evening up the Mustangs to a 1-1 record.

Alex Jackson, who came on in relief in the 3rd inning and pitched very well in his first outing this season, limiting them to 5 hits over the final 5 innings. “A.J. came in and did a nice job in holding down Colchester after they opened up a big early lead”, said manager Ron Manzione.

The Mustangs went on to play Cromwell again on June 21, this time at Cromwell Middle School.

Sean Harrison got the start and went 5 innings, striking out 6 and walking only 3, but he ran into trouble in the 3rd inning, allowing

4 runs and 6 hits.

“Sean had really good control but got victimized by some pitches that he left over the plate and was smacked around a bit”, said Ron Manzione. “He did come back and settle down after that. I was proud of his effort”, he added. On the offensive side, the Mustangs collected 9 hits, some perfectly placed, and scored 10 runs in the close victory.

There were 9 different players with one hit, with Andrew Gotowala having 3 RBI and Jonah Sanchez collecting 2 RBI in the 10-9 victory.

The game was a see-saw battle until the 7th, when Mike Snyder and Nick Aconfora started the inning with singles, Mike Giordano collected his 3rd walk and Trevor Collosa drove in one run with a bases loaded infield hit to the pitcher, who threw the ball wildly home which allowed Nick to score.

The bottom of the 7th was as

wild and crazy as you could get, with Cromwell loading the bases with no outs off relief pitcher Phil Cocce. On a 2-2 count to the batter, the pitch was a ball and the batter started for first, and the other baserunners also started to advance a base, but quick thinking by the infielders got one out at third base, but one run scored.

The batter had to return to the plate where he was struck out by Cocce. The next batter lined one to second where Sanchez made a leaping catch to end the game.

“That’s one I’ve never seen before”, said Manzione. “ It was like they were all stealing in slow motion, but noone knew where to go at first. Luckily we got one out and Phil pitched out of it”, Manzione added.

The Mustangs improve to 2-1 and are scheduled to face South Meriden at Legends Field this Saturday June 25 at 1 p.m.
