Town fares well through Juno By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — The town fared well through Tuesday’s storm, which dropped a little over a foot of snow in the area. One accident was reported on the Berlin Turnpike Monday night, but no serious injuries
resulted according to Town Manager John Salomone, who is also the town’s emergency management director. “We were ready for a blockbuster storm and what we got was a pretty large storm, but nothing like what they forecasted,” he said Tuesday evening.
Plows were able to clear the roads easily by late morning, thanks in part to the fact they were free of traffic. “I think most people heeded the governor’s request not to drive, which made it much easier for us to plow,” Salomone said. See SNOW, Page 6

Letter: Brighten up your winter with a trip to the library To the Editor:
Long, dreary winters can be a difficult time. Did you ever consider going to the Lucy Robbins Welles Library to brighten the day for your family? The children’s department is an especially inviting place. I wish you would come for a visit. Books are arranged by reading level, and there are many video games and movies to borrow. A play area, iPads with educational game apps and our AWE Literacy Stations beckon children to play and learn.
Frequent trips to the library will create lasting memories and help to instill a love of reading and exploration. The library complements and supplements our schools. It is another place to find reading and research materials, and also books, DVDs and music just for the fun of it. Are you a Newington resident? Do you have a library card? If not, you can print out an application from our website (www.newingtonct.gov). In the lower left hand column, choose “Library,” in the left hand col-
umn choose “Using The Library,” then “Get a Library Card.” Bring it in, get a card in a few minutes and enjoy all we have to offer. Have you seen the cranes? Newington High School students hung 1,000 cranes from the ceiling in the children’s area, representing one wish in the Japanese culture. My wish would be to grow a generation of children that loves to read! Check out our town treasure! Ellen Vessella Lucy Robbins Welles Library
Letter: Police department should promote from within To the Editor:
In response to the Jan. 23, 2015 article “Police chief selection underway,” I find it incredulous that Town Manager Salomone is spending $12,000 to $18,000 to search for a new police chief when the department has talent within to assume that role. Not only a waste of taxpayer money, it’s a slap in the face to the competent officers within who have spent years of dedicated service to the community. And there is no specific reason
this is being done. Opening up the process to external candidates sends a subtle, but clear, message to those officers inside who aspire to lead the department. It’s an awful way to treat loyal employees. Let us all be reminded of the nightmare the town of Rocky Hill experienced some years back when they hired an outsider to run its police department. They finally corrected the problem, but not after legal bills and settlement costs spiraled beyond $1 million.
The grass is not always greener — nor is the outside candidate. Newington would be wise to choose from among the internal candidates. The time-tested, professionally proven and capable officers who have spent their working careers within Newington police. It’s not only fair — it’s a sound employment practice to promote from within. Brian Skehan, Master Police Officer (Ret.) Newington Police Department
Letter: Clear hydrants can save lives To the Editor:
Last year, I sent in a letter to the editor, “The fire hydrant you clear could save your life,” and I believe the message is worth repeating again this year. If you have a fire hydrant on your street, whether it is on your property or not, please check to see if it is cleared of snow. If not, please clear a path for the volunteer firefighters who risk their lives to save ours. Hopefully, they
won’t need to get to the hydrant, but do you want to take that gamble? Precious minutes are lost if firefighters need to dig a path to the hydrant to get to the water to put out a fire. Can’t we help our volunteers by just this one act of kindness and consideration? Also, please give some thought to clearing the storm drains as well. Once the snow melts, it will need a place to go. If the drains are not clear the streets will flood. Thank you to all those who
brave the elements to clear our roads, tend to our medical needs and to protect our lives and our homes. In closing, I would also like to thank the Newington Town Crier for bringing local news to our homes and encourage any resident who hasn’t made a contribution to the Crier to help defray the costs of publication, to please do so.

Catholic Schools Week events focus on less fortunate
judged by Rev. Joe Keough. In addition, it was the first year they held a pep rally. This event was led by the seventh and eighth-graders, who came up with cheers. Schools usually hold Mass, open houses and traditions that include not only students and their families, but also parishioners and people from the surrounding community. St. Mary’s celebration kicked off at Sunday morning Mass, during which students did the readings and sang a meditation hymn at communion. Afterwards, Tortora’s daughter, Brianna, served the large group a special gourmet breakfast. Brianna, 20, recently graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. Belgian waffles, ham, egg and potato casserole, homemade granola and three different kinds of muffins graced tables. The crowd had rave reviews, which made Brianna especially proud. “People were very impressed,” she said. Several of the week’s events focused on helping the less fortunate — a principle Catholic schools hold high. “It’s our hope that we’re teaching [students] the importance of living their faith and putting their faith into action in serving others,” Principal Marge McDonald said. “We hope they take that with them after graduating from St. Mary School.” Students are collecting coats, hats and gloves up until Valentine’s Day, which they will donate to a local shelter that serves the poor. They also held a school-wide scarf ministry this week, where students made scarves to bring to local nursing homes. And for the third year in a
row, the school hosted a sandwich drive. Each class was assigned a different food component of a sandwich, which they brought in Friday. Older students had fun building over 150 sandwiches. On Friday, they were delivered to St. Vincent de Paul Mission shelter in Waterbury, which serves men, women and families seven days a week. “We can teach them facts and figures, but if we don’t teach them about helping people other than themselves we’re not really teaching them how to be good people,” Tortora said. And that, she added, is precisely the difference between Catholic and public education. “We can educate the whole child,” she continued. “No matter what faith they have, we just teach them to be good, responsible people who look out for one another.” “I think Catholic Schools Week gives us a chance to celebrate who we are,” McDonald added. Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 801-5097, or eschmitt@ newbritainherald.com.

Renowned NHS choir to perform at Church of Christ By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — A talented group of young students will be performing at the Church of Christ, Congregational on Sunday, Feb. 8. However, this isn’t just any school choir. Newington High School’s Chamber Choir has performed at the White House for President Bill Clinton and was invited to perform at the Connecticut Governor’s Mansion and the Empire State Building later this year.
IF YOU GO What: NHS Chamber Choir Concert Where: Church of Christ, Congregational, 1075 Main St., Newington When: Sunday, Feb. 8, at 4 p.m.
The choir’s 29 members are not only dedicated to their music, but also to helping the less fortunate throughout the year. They were involved in outreach projects with the Ronald McDonald House Charities in New York City and New Haven over the last 12 years and sing for the sick and elderly in churches and nursing homes. “This is a really wonderful group,” said Christopher Clark, high school music director. “They do lots of outreach, especially during the holiday season.” The choir rehearses every day and puts together an album annually, which they sell to raise money to support their many performances. This includes a trip to New York City every winter, where they perform in churches, nursing homes and hospitals. “They’re giving back to the community through song,” Clark explained. But this upcoming performance in Newington is particularly special because it’s being held at the same church where the choir

records their albums. When their voices reached the ears of Church Music Director Peter Niedmann, he asked them if they would consider a formal performance for the congregation. “This will be kind of neat because it’s a whole hour just featuring us,” Clark said. “It’s a unique performance opportunity

4 p.m. A reception will follow the concert. Admission is free, but a free will offering will be collected to benefit the choir’s activities. Funds raised will be used to offset the cost of recording the choir’s next album and other endeavors. To support the choir or purchase an album, email Christopher Clark at cclark@npsct.org.

Cleo
PET OF THE WEEK: CLEO SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER
This is 9-year-old Cleo, who is currently in a foster home near the Newington shelter location. Cleo can live in a singlefamily home and she may enjoy living with kids 10 years old and older who are gentle and respectful of pets. Cleo may also enjoy living with other dogs, pending introduction. Despite her age, Cleo is very active, needs to stay busy, and she would do best with an owner who has owned English setters or a similar breed before. Cleo was pet of the week on WBMW on Oct. 27. If you are interested in meeting Cleo, please call to set up an
appointment. Remember, the Connecticut Humane Society has no time limits for adoption. Inquiries for adoption should be made at the Connecticut Humane Society located at 701 Russell Road in Newington or by calling (860) 594-4500 or toll free at 1-800-452-0114. The Connecticut Humane Society is a private organization with branch shelters in Waterford, Westport and a cat adoption center in the PetSMART store in New London. The Connecticut Humane Society is not affiliated with any other animal welfare organizations on the national, regional or local level.
“Everyone pretty much stayed safe in their homes, so it worked out fine.” Town crews were 100 percent mobilized at the height of the storm, with all 14 trucks out and one outside contractor brought in to assist. “The good thing is it was a very light snow, easy to move around, so our plow vehicles were able to keep up with it,” Mayor Steve Woods said. “It was a storm that didn’t live up to its potential, which is good.” Despite the high winds, no power outages were reported in town. Although they were prepared to, officials didn’t need to open up their emergency shelter at Newington High School. Many folks spent part of Wednesday morning clearing snow from their driveways or off their cars. In Constitution Square downtown, Warren Hartleb spent the day cleaning off around 20 cars that belonged to residents of the Market Square Apartments. “We have a lot of seniors that aren’t able to clean off their own cars because they’re disabled,” Hartleb explained.
Erica Schmitt | Staff
One of the town’s 14 plow trucks in front of the Mortensen Community Center Wednesday after a storm dropped 14 inches of snow.
Trash and recycling collection was postponed Tuesday and took place Wednesday instead. In addition, Newington Town Hall, the library, senior center and other municipal facilities reopened on a regular schedule Wednesday.
Tuesday night’s Town Council meeting was postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date. Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 801-5097 or at eschmitt@ newbritainherald.com.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER
Simmons, Indians continue to improve since loss to NB By CAMERON MCDONOUGH STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — Before Jan. 13, the Newington boys basketball team was riding high. It had a 6-1 record with impressive wins over RHAM, Bristol Eastern, Simsbury, Conard, Farmington and Hall. Its only loss in those first seven games came on the road against a strong Wethersfield squad. But instead of improving their record to 7-1, the Indians suffered a difficult setback at home against New Britain. They struggled on both sides of the ball in what turned out to be a 71-61 loss. Now, a year earlier that would not have been such a tough loss, but the Hurricanes, while quickly improving, are in rebuilding mode while Newington is clearly on the rise for the 2014-15 campaign. “We want to make sure that we are getting better each game,” Newington coach Scot Wenzel said. “We feel like we took a step back against New Britain. Credit to New Britain, but we want to make sure that we continue to play our best basketball in the second half of the season.” That loss could have easily turned into more than just a onegame skid, but instead of letting that happen the Indians have now won three straight. The new winning streak started with an easy 82-53 win over Conard and continued with a 62-38 victory at Southington in which Newington pulled away late. They made it three in a row when they beat a tough Northwest Catholic squad 68-50 at home. Heading into the game against Northwest Catholic, Newington was in first place in the Central Connecticut Conference West Division but only by a game over a host of teams. One of those teams right behind them was Northwest Catholic. So a strong performance was critical not for just putting that New Britain loss well in the rear-view mirror, but also to put some space between it and the competition. “It’s one game at a time but
Newington’s Jared Simmons, right, drives past Brendon Vessichio during a road game last season against Berlin.
obviously you know where you are in the standings and everything else,” Wenzel said. “You know every game, no matter what somebody’s record is in the CCC, you have to come and be ready to play. Our kids definitely came ready to play tonight.” After the win, Newington is now 9-2 on the year and also 7-1 in the CCC West. The two closest teams to the Indians are now Simsbury and New Britain, which both sit at 5-2 in the CCC West. And now Northwest Catholic is behind by two games in the loss column. There are many reasons why Newington has improved since the New Britain game — fewer turnovers and a strong all-around defense just to name a few — but perhaps the biggest of all has been the play of Jared Simmons.
Simmons is only a sophomore but he is already one of the leaders for the Indians. He is in charge of bringing the ball up and setting his teammates up with open looks at the basket with his ability to pass the ball even in the tightest of windows. And when he sees an open lane, he bursts past the opposing defense for an easy look at the basket, and when he is open from long distance he isn’t afraid to take the shot. More often than not, those shots go in for Simmons. He finished with 32 points on Friday, Jan. 23, which ties a career high for him. He also scored 32 against Conard. But just like his team, Simmons struggled against the Hurricanes, as he only managed eight points in that game. To make sure that didn’t happen again, Simmons stayed in
the gym after the loss and practiced his shot for over an hour. When he missed, he made himself take five push-ups. It looks like that extra practice has paid off since he is back to his old self with his shot making and passing performance against Northwest Catholic. “He’s an explosive player and he does a lot for us,” Wenzel said. “We ask a lot of him between handling the ball. I think one of his best qualities is as strong as he is offensively and scoring, the biggest thing he does is he just sees the entire floor. His passing, I mean he is one of the best passers in the state. “He was feeling it and he knocked down some big shots. Early on that gave us that big lead.” So it looks like Simmons and Newington are back in rhythm and it could not have come at a better

time. The Indians have nine games left in the regular season, which means there is still plenty of time for them to hit a rough patch or for another team to get hot and jump them in the standings. And with six games remaining against CCC West teams, there is still plenty of opportunities for Newington to truly establish itself as the dominant team in the league and one of the top programs in the state. But that is all far off in the distance. For now Newington is happy with the way it performed against Northwest Catholic. That New Britain loss now seems like a distant memory.

BRISTOL — Newington wrestling has struggled in dual meets this season due to lack of numbers, and that trend continued on Jan. 25 at Bristol Central High School. The Indians had to give up some forfeits in losses to Bristol Central and Terryville. Newington coach Eric Soucy is looking toward future wrestlers from the Newington Nighthawks youth program to build the high school team back up. “It’s mostly 10th and 11th graders on this team,” Soucy said. The Indians have just three seniors, Brendan Zotti, Tony Orwa and Anthony Kulowski. Zotti and Kulowski didn’t
wrestle that day, which left Newington with more holes that it couldn’t fill. For right now, the focus is on trying to improve and peak at the right time. There are going to be bumps and bruises along the way, but Soucy wants to see his wrestlers work as hard as they can. Newington faces the same problem as all other winter teams this week with the blizzard lashing the state. On Saturday, Newington hosts its Hastings Duals inside the Richard Rogalski Gymnasium.

The center, located at 120 Cedar St., was the first in Connecticut to achieve this distinction from the National Council on Aging’s National Institute of Senior Centers (NCOA-NISC). The first step toward accreditation is to engage in a self-assessment process with a broad evaluation of operations and strategic planning. The center is seeking community members with expertise, experience or passion in the listed areas to assist in the evaluation. The time commitment is approximately eight to 10 hours over the course of three months. The areas are governance, volunteer management, program development (enrichment, adult education, wellness, intergenerational, active living etc.), fiscal management, architecture and/or interior design and transportation.
