His memory skates on shake the joyful spirit among those in attendance at the memorial painting ceremony for Shayne Hunter Wrobel. Over a dozen of the late teen’s close friends and family came out to honor the young man, who at
age 14, was tragically killed when he was hit by a car skateboarding near his home November 5, 2010. Some rode bikes in circles around the wet painted ramps, others shared memories and hopes for the park with each other, some

more like graffiti than a memorial. It was eventually painted over, but the dedicated friends covered the park once again. Town officials knew they needed to work with the teens to honor Shayne in a mutually agreed-upon way. “We can’t have the tagging so we need to work with the family to set up an appropriate tribute,” said Bruce Till, Newington’s Parks and Recreation Superintendent. Shayne’s mother, Karen Lee Wrobel, called friends of Shayne after the re-painting occurred and they helped her put together a Facebook page as well as work with Parks and Rec to get an OK to paint the largest ramp in the park (7 feet tall) purple, Shayne’s favorite color. A local artist, who is also a friend of Shayne’s, will paint a piece of art onto the finished ramp with “R.I.P. Shayne” and space for his
friends to once again sign and write memories. Bill Deblasio, a member of the Parks and Rec commission involved with the skate park memorial, volunteered his time to help paint and organize the effort. “We got a little help from everywhere,”he said.“We hope to be involved with getting the cracks in the pavement filled and requesting a light so the park is a safe place for kids to skate, even when it’s a little darker out.” Ethan Roy, a friend of Shayne’s was happy to finally see the memorial happen. “The day after Shayne died, we got everyone to sign the seven-foot ramp, then we graffitied the whole park in dedication with signatures and memories and were upset that it got painted over. The town finally allowed us to paint it for good.” Ethan has also drafted a letter to the Parks and Rec Department that he plans to read at an upcoming meeting to request the official name change of the skate park to the “Shayne Hunter Wrobel Memorial Skate Park.”This process Sarah Johnson | Staff has met some difficulty but Ethan and other friends and family remain The Wrobel family, from left, Brandon (Shayne s twin brother), his father Tom, cousin Nicholas, mother Karen Lee, cousin Alexa and (seated) younger brother Travor. hopeful. For now, they have a plaque with Shayne’s name and years of life on the newly-painted ramp. There will also be a weeping cherry tree with a plaque planted on the site.

RepublicanWomen’s Club ends after 50 years,donates to Human Services the Board of Education. On the local election years the NRWC hosted the refreshments at the Town Hall “Swearing In� ceremonies and provided corsages for all the elected women (Republicans and Democrats). In addition to supporting the Town Committee, the NRWC contributed annually to the Newington Department of Human Services; the American Legion Auxiliary to aid in sending four young women from Newington High School to participate in Laurel Girls State, a week long workshop of mock state and local government held at the University of Connecticut. Some of the students were inspired by this workshop and went on to participate in local government.
By BROOKE RICHTER PRESIDENT, NRWC
The Newington Republican Women’s Club has decided to put its gavel to rest after nearly 50 years of community service and to make a final donation of assets to the Newington Department of Human Services of $250. Over the years the primary function of the NRWC was to assist the Newington Republican Town Committee during election time. The women would work at the Republican Headquarters calling registered Republicans to remind them to vote and offer rides if needed; addressed mailings and canvassed neighborhoods to solicit candidate literature. The NRWC also contributed funds to the Town Committee to help with election expenses. The primary fundraiser for the purpose of making the above contributions was an annual Military Whist card game held at the Newington Senior and Disabled Center. Members contributed homemade baked goods for the refreshment table, solicited local businesses for door prizes and assembled theme baskets to be auctioned. Many of the members were elected officials of the Town Council and

Surviving the Emergency Room Expecting the Unexpected With Dr. Ron Clark, attending emergency physician, Hospital of Central Connecticut, Monday, July 18, at 7 p.m. at the library. Clark delivers important information and insight in his book, “Surviving the Emergency Room.” This is a comprehensive resource designed to answer questions from past ER visits, and to prepare us for future experiences. Clark explains procedures, suggests questions and requests that can be posed while in the ER, and reminds us that seeking treatment with this knowledge in hand will maximize the experience and even assist in our treatment. From understanding skill levels to being aware of the variety of medical and surgical specialists, from accepting treatment from total strangers to being realistic about what is available, this is the guide that speaks to us all of us. Clark will talk about his book, which provides an insider’s view of the emergency medical system, a valuable resource for patients and families, and a thorough guide preparing readers for the labyrinth of functions, personnel, and treatments within the emergency department. Copies of the book will be available for sale after the program. Call the library at (860) 665-8700 to register.

Mustangs rebound and win Take precaution when grilling outdoors SPECIAL TO THE NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER
The Mustangs travelled to Lyman Memorial HS in Lebanon on Monday, 7/11, for a rematch with Lebanon Lighting of the JC TD Bank Senior East division. Coming off a mini losing streak the Mustangs were hungry for a win, especially since their level of play had not been up to standards recently. Alex “AJ� Jackson took the mound after a scoreless top half of the first and things seemed to be headed in the same direction as the previous 3 games, as the Mustangs fell behind 1-0 on a walk, a hit, an error and a hit batter. Lebanon added another run in the 3rd on a bloop hit to center and the pressure started to build for some offense. That pressure was relieved in the fourth inning when SS Sean Harrision and 1b Phil Cocce hit singles and were driven home on a single by Mike Giordano. With 2 outs in the inning LF Nick Aconfora hit a big 2 run single to right, plating the go-ahead and
eventual game winning runs.“We’d been struggling with getting hits with runners in scoring position much of the season so those RBI hits were a pleasant change for us�, said Manager Ron Manzione. With a lead, “AJ� settled in, as he got a lot of key outs when he needed them most. “Alex really worked at mixing his pitches and locations today and got them to hit his pitches�, said Manzione. Jackson threw 78 pitches, walked only 2 and struck out 2 while allowing 7 hits but stayed focused and made some great pitches to get out of trouble. The Mustangs added a run in the 7th on a double by Dan Lococo and an RBI grounder by Cocce, who reached on an error. Jackson closed it out and earned his third win with the complete game. “I was proud of their effort tonight�, said Manzione. “We needed this win to reach .500 (5-5) and I’m hoping that our hitting improves so we can make a run at a good seeding for the playoffs�, he added.
The Central Connecticut Health District would like to remind residents of the importance of food handling safety while cooking outdoors. According to the State Department of Public Health (DPH), here are some food safety tips for grilling this summer: • Wash hands — Wash hands for 20 seconds with soap and water, and dry hands with a paper towel following restroom use, before preparing foods, after handling raw meat or before eating. Be sure to wash hands thoroughly after handling raw meat products and before handling other foods. Clean hands will help prevent the spread of potentially illnesscausing microorganisms. • Clean — Wash food-contact surfaces often with warm soapy
water. Bacteria can spread and get onto cutting boards, knives and counter tops. Wash fruits and vegetables before preparing. • Separate utensils — Be sure to use separate plates and utensils for cooked and uncooked foods. Bacteria from uncooked meats and poultry can be dangerous if they contaminate cooked food. Don’t reuse marinade — discard after food is removed for cooking. If basting is required, use a freshly prepared marinade. • Take temperatures — Cook food thoroughly. The most common minimum internal cooking temperatures are 158 degrees Fahrenheit for hamburgers, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for steaks and ribs, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry. Be sure to use a food thermometer to check temperatures. • Keep it cold (or hot) — Keep
cold food refrigerated until it is ready to be placed on the grill. Consume immediately or hold hot on the grill. Do not hold cooked foods at room- temperature. Cooked, hot foods should be kept at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer.Cold foods should be kept below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Anyone with questions or concerns about food handling safety may contact the Central Connecticut Health District, now celebrating 15 years of community service, at www.ccthd.org or at (860)721-2822. Brochures about food safety are available from the Central CT Health District. Additional information may also be obtained from the Food Protection Program at the State Health Department, (860) 509-7297 or online at www. ct.gov/dph/foodprotection.

Tick season bites: How caution can help avoid sickness By ALLISON ENGLAND CORRESPONDENT
Hikes through the woods, picnics in the grass and other outdoor activities are part of summer fun, but there is another side of visiting nature that can be unpleasant — tick bites. “Tick season is now,” said Lynn Abrahamson, director of health for the Bristol-Burlington Health District. “Spring and summer is when we see the most tick activity.” Dr. Mark Wipfler, a specialist at Bristol Hospital, said Lyme disease and erlichiosis are two of the most common diseases that ticks can carry. Both can be treated with antibiotics. Wipfler said Lyme disease can lead to meningitis, heart problems and, sometimes, hepatitis if left untreated. * Ticks are commonly found in wooded or grassy areas or in leaf litter. “They can latch onto animals, as well as to people,” Abrahamson said. She said people of all ages can be affected by ticks. Target areas include armpits, groin areas, in and around ears, the scalp, between the legs and back of the knees, but a tick could be anywhere on the body. Wipfler said it’s important to remove ticks carefully and alive. Wipfler said ticks should be removed with a store-bought tick removal tool or with tweezers. He said the technique he uses is to grab the tick low near the head and twist around five to six times, while pulling the tick up gently. “It works every time,” said Wipfler, but only for ticks that are still alive. “Once you kill them they fall apart more easily and it’s more

difficult to remove the tick intact,” he said. He said if part of a tick, even from one that doesn’t carry Lyme disease, is left in the body, it can cause irritation or a superficial skin infection. Abrahamson said a common misconception is that pets can spread tick-carrying diseases directly to their owners. It also is not possible for Lyme disease to spread from person to person. A person cannot get Lyme disease from eating the meat of an animal infected with the disease, said Abrahamson, but meat should

always be fully cooked for protection from other bacteria. Abrahamson said once a person is bit by a tick that carries Lyme disease, they will not be instantly infected. “Most of the time the tick needs to be attached for one to two days for the disease to be transmitted,” she said. People can follow-up with their primary care physician after removing a tick, especially if they have symptoms of Lyme disease,Wipfler said. A doctor can order blood tests, but they must be done about three weeks after a tick is removed
Open rs u 24 Ho
because those done too soon will be negative for disease. Wipfler said indicators of Lyme disease include a rash around the bite area, or anywhere on the body, as well as flu-like symptoms and joint or body pain. When a tick bites there is an immediate redness that Wipfler said is irritation from the tick’s saliva. This is different from the rash that is associated with Lyme disease which has alternating clear and red rings. Abrahamson said Lyme disease rashes are different from other rashes and bites because they are

not painful or itchy and are sometimes hot to the touch. “The Northeast is the epicenter of Lyme disease, so it’s always something that needs to be considered,” Wipfler said. Prevention is key in preventing Lyme disease. Abrahamson said people should wear clothing that protects the skin from ticks, avoid tall grass and leaf piles, and apply insect repellent as directed. “Parents should check a child for ticks after playing outside,” Abrahamson said. “It’s often-times very difficult to see the nymphs.”
