A changing Market Owners react to upgrade’s final phase

Market Square hosts dentist and doctor offices, small shops, eateries and has been the subject of many needed renovations.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

‘Can’t we leave anything good alone?’

CORRECTION: Last week, a Letter to the Editor from a resident of Newington was run with the wrong introduction. It should have stated that the writer was concerned about the issue of the proposed cell phone tower near Anna Reynolds School, not the Cedar Mountain issue. We regret any confusion this may have caused the readers. Below is a re-run of the original letter.

To the Editor:

I live on Reservoir Road. I have lived in the same house on Reservoir Road for fifty-eight years. I would like to tell you what living there means to me.

In 1952, my husband Stanley and young daughter Marcia and I lived in a small apartment in Hartford.

Many of us in those days had grown up in cities and in rental apartments. But in that period after World War II, many people had started to move out to the “country.” And to think about purchasing a home instead of renting.

My father-in-law, Archie Aronson, was a salesman who travelled throughout the state and knew it well. He suggested Newington as “a nice little town.”

We weren’t familiar with it.

On his travels, he took note of houses he saw that were for sale in Newington, and we looked at a couple of them.

Then, one day, I saw in The Hartford Courant a huge, full page ad for a new development that was going up in Newington with photographs of an attractive, modern house.

An open house was coming up. We were excited.

That Sunday, my husband, daughter, and I took a drive “out” to the new development; it seemed an outing then from Hartford.

We left the boundaries of the city and drove through wide open spaces on sparsely traveled roads.

There was only one home built then, a model house, decorated beautifully by G. Fox and Company.

The rest of the area was all forest. We fell in love with the

house. And the land out there!

We always assumed the town We got our finances in order. would always maintain the The GI bill helped, my husband woods as a buffer around the having been a veteran of World school, so that there would be War II. quiet, and a place for the chilIt seemed an enormous leap dren to learn about nature and and change then, a different go exploring. lifestyle, a large financial investThe neighborhood kids played ment, a complete change of freely, knocking on each othlocale, the necessity of a car (I ers’ doors to come out and play. didn’t yet drive.)

The neighborhood has expanded and changed. Many more houses have been built, many trees have been knocked down.

The woods that provided privacy and quiet behind all the houses on the left side going up Reservoir Road have been largely replaced by new houses.

But at least a section of houses near the school still have woods behind them. At least there are some wild spots left.

Now I hear that the Newington Town Council has approved putting up a cell phone tower in the area near the school!

I cannot imagine anything that would be more obscene in this area. Or more unnecessary. More short-sighted. More dangerous.

Can’t we leave anything good alone? Do we have to ruin everything? What about quality of life? How much more can Newington be built up?

When I think of a physical monstrosity towering above the houses and trees in this area, emitting its electromagnetic waves, I feel sick. I think it’s disgusting. At best it is ill-advised.

I am 88 years old now and the thought of this happening at the school of my children in my beloved neighborhood makes me feel invaded and violated.

I have loved living here and I am doing everything in my power to be able to stay here until my dying day.

That is how much I love this home and everything around it.

I want to stay here because, for 58 years, this neighborhood has been a lovely, safe, pleasant, child-friendly place to live.

A human-friendly and naturefriendly place to live. It has maintained its character.

What could be less childfriendly and more ruinous of its character — and its history — than a cell phone tower?

I would like whoever lives in the house after I’m gone to enjoy some of the quality of life there that my family and I have been fortunate to enjoy.

I intend to do everything in my power to help stop this cell tower as my legacy to the neighborhood I love.

It’s not for nostalgia that I

tell my story but to show that we embraced change when we moved into the neighborhood and we are all for progress if it is an improvement — not any change for any reason regardless of the costs vs. benefits.

And I tell my story to illustrate that attachment and caring about a place and the people in it create a different perspective than whatever perspective causes a person to consider a cell tower near a school.

I don’t think it’s caring that calculates that money could possibly compensate for what would be lost with this cell tower.

I don’t think it’s caring that told my daughter Phyllis that paving a parking lot at the school would be compensation for constructing the cell tower.

I don’t think it’s caring that would consider doing this in the face of the health risks known and unknown.

I don’t think it’s caring about children or nature or aesthetics that could even consider such an edifice in a residential neighborhood.

In other words, I don’t think whoever is behind this CARES about us in any way.

The only caring on their part is about money and how much they think they can make off of our misfortune.

They do not care about the children of Anna Reynolds School, the people of our neighborhood, or the animals and vegetation.

No one is even pretending a cell tower would be good for anyone’s health or well-being.

This is not for our benefit in any way, shape, or form. It is for the benefit of the cell company ONLY. We must keep in mind that, whatever bone they throw us (paving a parking lot?) to lure us into this, it is only that: a bone.

We do not need their bribes or bones.

If Newington needs money, then we’ll have to find other ways to get it. This is not the way. This is totally unacceptable.

Thank you.

His own form of magic Central CT Health District advises residents to prepare for disasters

By ASHLEY KUS CORRESPONDENT

NEWINGTON — Harry Potter isn’t the only one spreading magic this summer. Local magician James Kaine has some tricks to perform, too.

The 25-year-old has been performing magic for street audiences since 2006 when he picked up a deck of cards and changed his career perspective. A Rocky Hill High School graduate and a wrestler through his teenage years, Kaine decided to try magic and became hooked. He quickly found a mentor in Wethersfield restaurant magician Michael Paul who taught Kaine everything he needed to know to begin. From there the young hopeful began to perform at local resturants and bars such as the Warehouse in Hartford, Zen Bar in Plainville, and Catcher’s Sports Bar in Wethersfield, among others.

He even appeared on a public access TV show called The Variety Hour with William Wilson.

Recently Kaine performed at a benefit for the American Lung Association for approximately 1,000 people, the biggest audience so far, he said.

While Kaine’s audiences range from teenagers to adults, don’t expect kids to be part of the crowd anytime soon.

“My magic is more sophisticated,” he said. Many of his acts involve engaging audience members by walking among them instead of performing on stage.

In one performance, cups were arranged on a table upside down and a spike was put underneath one.

James Kaine

After an assistant secretly randomized the cups, the magician smashed a cup that did not contain a spike underneath. “Performing magic is my own form of magic. I take silence as a good thing, something of a shock value,” he said.

Kaine self-markets himself with business cards, a Facebook page, various YouTube clips, and most popular word-of-mouth. So far Kaine has gotten good feedback on his performances and was even asked to perform at the Harry Potter Part 1 premiere in Manchester last November. He hopes to perform again in Manchester at Harry Potter Part 2 later in the summer.

So far the ambitious magician has traveled the Northeast with his magic and hopes to travel the country one day. His goal is to be like his role model, David Blaine. “I would love to do magic for the rest of my life,” he said.

To find out more about James Kaine, visit his website at www. jkaine.com.

The Central Connecticut Health District is reminding residents to take precautions for unexpected community emergencies.

With the possibility of a public health emergency due to a hurricane, tornado, act of terrorism or pandemic influenza, it is important to be prepared.

According to the American Red Cross, three key steps to take are: get a kit, make a plan and be informed.

A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items that may be used at home, at work, at school or in a vehicle.

This kit is made up of the following items: ■ Water; one gallon per person, per day (a three-day supply for evacuation, two-week supply for home) ■ Food; non-perishable, easyto-prepare items such as canned goods, a manual can-opener, and dry mixes (a three-day supply for evacuation, two-week supply for home) ■ Battery-powered or handcrank radio with extra batteriers ■ First Aid Kit ■ A seven-day supply of medications and medical items ■ Multi-purpose tools ■ Sanitation and personal hygiene items ■ Copies of personal documents (medication lists, proof of address, deed/lease to home, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies and pictures

of family members) ■ Cell phones and chargers ■ Family and emergency contact information ■ Extra cash ■ Emergency blankets ■ Map(s) of the area If there are children, seniors, pets or someone with a medical condition or special needs in your home, consider adding the following items to your supplies kit: Medical supplies (hearing aids and wheelchairs with extra batteries, glasses, syringes, canes) Baby supplies (bottles, powder formula, baby food, diapers) Games and activities for children Pet supplies (collar, leash, ID, food, carrier, bowl, medical records) Pack the items in easy-tocarry water-proof containers, label the containers clearly and store them where they would be easily accessible, such as duffle bags, backpacks and covered trash receptacles.

Remember, you can reduce the amount of water your body needs by reducing activity and staying cool.

When making a plan, it is essential to meet with family members and discuss how to prepare and respond to emergencies. Identify responsibilities of each family member of your household and plan ways to work together.

Choose two places to meet both outside of the home and outside of the neighborhood, in the event of a sudden emergency, such as a fire or evacuation. In the event of an evacuation in

your community, decide where you would go and multiple routes of getting there.

Be sure to identify a name of relative or friend outside of the area to leave messages if necessary. When planning for pets, call ahead to determine petfriendly hotels and motels.

Being informed involves learning what types of disasters or emergencies may occur in your area. These events can range from those affecting only you and your family, like a home fire or medical emergency, to those affecting your entire community, like an earthquake or flood.

Make sure that at least one member of your household is trained in first aid and CPR and knows how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). This training is useful in many emergency situations.

Emergency contact cards for each family member are useful in the event of separation.

Children and anyone with special needs should wear or carry some form of identification at all times. Printable versions of these cards are available on the American Red Cross website at www.redcross.org.

Brochures about emergency preparedness are available from the Central Connecticut Health District, now celebrating 15 years of services to its communities.

For further information, contact the District’s Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, Judye Torpey at (860) 721-2816 or the website at www.ccthd.org.

Revitalization project draws mixed reactions from business owners Continued from Page 1

replacements, wider sidewalks, new trees, brick pavers laid instead of concrete, and new lighting among many other changes to come.

“Town Council authorized the town manager last week to start signing the contracts and paperwork,” said Meehan. This means the revitalization process will begin mid-July and last for approximately 120 days.

The surrounding businesses along the street will likely be affected by this action. Mario L. Sousa, Jr., store owner of Upscale Music on 50 Market Square, said

“I think it is a great idea to plant new trees because I have seen people fall from crazy roots in the sidewalk.” He likes the idea of new sidewalks, but he is weary of the potential slow down of business and traffic on the street. The already narrow roadway is a concern to his customers who get out of their parked cars into traffic. He hopes this won’t be an extra danger to them.

Nearby on 41 Market Square, Yolanda Treviso, owner of A Relaxation Spot salon, agrees that new sidewalks are necessary.

She is worried though that the

square also needs new businesses to attract people to the stores once the revitalization is completed. “It is more a driving street rather than a walking street because of the many doctor and dentist offices,” she said.

Not all business owners agree on the direction the project is going. Sophia Beytan, owner of Sophia’s Breakfast and Lunch, doesn’t think the street renovations will attract customers. “Instead,’” she says, “there should be a sign advertising the street and vendors, to divert traffic from Main Street onto Market Square.”

Lucky to have Lucky!

To the Editor:

Four long legs a jumble, seemingly in constant motion, remind us that we have a very new energetic companion this spring. We laugh, delighting in this furry creature as he runs and invites us to give chase. He delights in the outdoors, still more, he delights that “his” people are outside with him, running, playing and laughing.

We had not expected to add to our family this year. Our sweet, faithful sentry and loyal companion, Allie, died After 18 years together. Her passing left us feeling empty, yet strangely liberated from a daily medical routine that had been not only challenging but demanding. We mourned our loss, and filled our time with books and chores, our evening walks would be no more. We had found a “new normal” that no longer included barks, or demanding rumbling when dinner was threatened to be delayed.

Still, the days were quiet, much too quiet. Was there any harm in looking on the internet we wondered? Perhaps there woulbe a

  

dog in need of a home? Indeed, we found thousands — each with a story that shattered our calm.

One caught our eye. Lucky — at 13 years old he was sporting a new haircut. He was turned in to the Connecticut Humane Society, a sad result of today’s difficult economy. His name was Lucky — yet it seemed that perhaps his luck had run out. The kind folks at the Humane Society tended to his vaccinations, biopsied a few tumors, and saw the wisdom in not giving up on this sweet senior. The veterinarian declare3d him healthy — yet who would adopt this senior dog?

The shelter turned to a rescue organization and again Lucky was resettled, this time in a foster home where Denise would quickly discover how sweet and delightful this wonderful dog could be. She worked up his story, and advertised him well, sharing with those of us who would click on the photo of this senior. She responded promptly to my hesitant inquiry, and sent delightful video clips of this active senior who surely belied is age! She reassured, answered, and shared all

she knew of this wonderful boy.

We journeyed a full day to bring Lucky home. He was as anxious as we were, but eventually settled head in my lap. It was good to hold and comfort this furry friend; it was good to be comforted.

We wonder about him and his soulful eyes. He has stories to share, stories we will never know.

What we have learned, what we know for sure, is that he was loved well, for hi in turn is so sweet, gentle and even tempered. For that we are grateful. We are grateful for the caring, compassionate folks at the Connecticut Humane Society who found room to believe in yet another animal in need of a home, and blessedly believed he deserved no less. And we are grateful beyond words to Denise for making the magic happen, who provided a loving home until Lucky’s forever home was found.

To all who believed in Lucky, thank you. He has returned joy and laughter to our days, love to our hearts, and a foolishness and play to our lives. Our arms are full, and our faces wet with dog kisses — we are so lucky to have Lucky.

Middlewoods of Newington staff receives ‘Outstanding Resident Service’Award Congratulations to Tor Alston, winner of a Connecticut Assisted Living Association Award for “Outstanding Resident Services.”

Alston was honored at a special event held Friday, June 24 at Water’s Edge Resort in Westbrook.

Alston began working as a member of the waitstaff at Middlewoods of Newington six years ago, when he was 16 years old.

Over the years, Alston has learned more than just how to provide great service during meal times.

He always brightens residents’ days with a smile and kind words.

But what makes Alston exceptional is his willingness to go above and beyond. He has changed his schedule around to provide coverage on shifts in other departments.

He has been seen sifting through garbage cans searching for dentures when a resident thought she threw them out (only to learn later that they were in her apartment the whole time).

Most dramatically, Alston actually used his body as a shield to protect a resident who suffered a sudden seizure. Alston protected the resident from banging into a glass and iron table, and then gently lowered him to the ground when the seizure stopped. Alston stayed with the resident to keep him calm while EMTs were on their way.

The staff at Middlewoods is proud to have Alston as part of its Newington family.

To learn more about Tor Alston and the other amazing staff at Middlewoods of Newington visit uat www.middlewoodsofnewington.org or stop by for a tour.

Middlewoods of Newington is located at 2125 Main St. in Newington. The assisted and independent living community is owned and operated by United Methodist Homes, a local, faith-based, not for profit organization.

Mustangs defeat S. Meriden then fall to Monaco Ford Glastonbury SPECIAL TO THE NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

The Newington Mustangs met South Meriden for the first time this season on June 25, at Alumni Field in Newington, looking to improve on their 2-1 record.Taking the hill was Mike Giordano, who was 1-1 as a starter. You would think that a pitcher who walks 9 batters would have a difficult time winning or even staying in the game, but Giordano did exactly that, pitching a complete game, throwing over 120 pitches, striking out 13 and allowing no runs or hits on route to a 4-0 victory. A very strange line for a pitcher, but “Gio” hung on and got some big outs throughout the game. “ I wouldn’t say “Gio” struggled with his control because he made some great pitches

when he had to, but it wasn’t his sharpest effort”, said manager Ron Manzione. He struck out at least 2 batters in 5 innings and struck out the side twice in a gutty performance, earning not only his second win but his second no-hitter of the season. The walks were concerning and added to his pitch count but he never backed down and seemed to make the big pitch when he needed to. Giordano also collected 2 hits and 2 RBI, driving home Phil Cocce who singled in the first and Mike Snyder who reached on a HBP in the 4th. Both pitchers were effective except for a few wild pitches and errors, and only a total of 3 hits. “We were fortunate to have runners on and move them up on miscues and wild pitches

Notice of Public Hearings Wednesday July 13, 2011

The Mustangs travelled to Glastonbury with a 3-1 record on June 28, to take on last season’s finalists, Monaco Ford, at the Glastonbury High School JV Field. Lefty Phil Cocce got the start, looking for his 2nd win of the season and was sharp early on, allowing only 1 hit over three innings. The scoring started in the 4th for the Mustangs, as Nick Aconfora singled, stole second and scored on Shawn Harrison’s infield

single. Harrison used his speed on the bases and quickness in the field, making several quality plays at short to aid Cocce. However, the Monaco offense awoke in the bottom of the 4th, and after a walk, 3 consecutive hits, 2 of them being doubles,they took the lead for good, 2-1.They scored 2 more runs in the 5th on 3 more hits and Cocce was relieved by Alex Jackson, who shut the door for the rest of the game and gave the Mustangs a chance to make a comeback. Unfortunately, the opposing pitcher was keeping the Mustangs offense in check until the 7th, when Harrison, who was on base 3 times (2 hits and a HBP), and Jon Omara singled, and Jared Clegg laid down a beautiful sac bunt, getting runners in scoring

position. Andrew Gotowala got one of the runners home with a sac fly and it came down to Mike Snyder, who already had one hit.

Snyder hit a deep drive to left which could have been a triple with his speed, but after a long run, the left fielder made a lunging over the shoulder catch, robbing the hit and ending the game. “We were not on our game offensively tonight”, said Ron Manzione. “Their pitcher did a good job keeping us off balance with a variety of curves and changeups, and limiting the damage.

We had our chances but they made some great plays defensively to keep us off the board”, he added.

The Mustangs fell to 3-2 in the Senior East JC TD BANK league.
