Fallen soldiers remembered for sacrifice

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

NEWINGTON — Veterans and those who gave their lives for this country were remembered Tuesday by their fellow Newington residents at a cere-

mony in Town Hall.

The highlight of the annual event is the Ceremony of Roses, which honors the town’s 29 fallen soldiers.

Letter: Military mode could be necessary To the Editor:

When I became a police officer in 1960 on the Hartford Police Department, an old-time detective took me to a vault located in the detective division. He showed me two Thompson submachine guns, a couple of Springfield bolt action rifles and a thick barreled shotgun.

He said they were acquired from the Army. I never saw them in use during my career.

In addition, in another room were a collection of World War II air raid warden white steel helmets, which I can recall being used during that war by volunteers during air raid drills.

As the years progressed and the riots ensued, the department set about acquiring a variety of equipment to keep officers safe while being subjected to bricks and fire bombs. The type of vehicles needed were just not available. At that time (it may still be true today), surplus payroll armored vehicles — Brinks, Garda— could not be reused by virtue of federal law.

Had they been, the problem of transportation of police officers to critical situations might have been solved. The transportation solution at that time was to obtain two surplus mail vans and paint them a dull battleship gray. The military did, in fact, have a variety of

vehicles available, but they were not suited for transportation. The WWII Greyhound, and later the ACXM706, had turrets with weapons designed for close combat.

A series of armored transport vehicles were developed and used during the Vietnam War. They were tracked vehicles and, thus, not suited for urban use. The problem just dragged on. This does not mean that Connecticut police departments were not attempting to get whatever they could to safeguard their officers placed in harm’s way.

When I became the police chief in Newington, I came upon a glass-fronted china cabinet where-

in were several M1 carbines and battleship gray Colt Navy revolvers.

They were military surplus acquisitions. The private sector began building (using military specs) armored personnel carriers for police use. They were incredibly expensive, but they were the only game in town. The problem dragged on.

The military recently made available IED resistant vehicles to local police. Problem solved. There has been some sort of hue and cry over the police acquiring said vehicles.

Sen. Blumenthal, while addressing the issue, mentioned insuring proper training for users of these vehicles. The Swat Team is trained.

The driver gets in the cab, starts it up and drives to the scene. What training? Ninety-nine percent of the police officers’ time is performing the ordinary duties of keeping our citizens safe. The 1 percent of the time when critical and inherently dangerous situations arise, they are duty-bound to respond.

The military mode could be necessary. No matter what, the citizens, through their police, must win the encounter. Don’t get caught up in all the political bloviating about the use of helicopter gunships and nuclear subs by police.

Letter: Pay a visit to the Lucy Robbins Welles Library To the Editor:

I often wonder if Newington residents are aware of the wonderful programs available to them at the Lucy Robbins Welles Library.

Approximately 31,000 patrons come through the doors every month, many of whom participate in the more than 18 varied programs offered each week for children, teens and adults.

The library itself is bursting at the seams. With the increase in program attendance over the

past several years, there comes a demand for more space to hold these programs.

Currently, in order to accommodate larger audiences for library programs, advanced registration is required or people are turned away at the door when the program is full.

The library also offers technology programs to help people navigate the digital media and devices.

A very popular one-onone program called “Tech Troubleshooting with Teens” offers adults the opportunity

to drop in with their electronic devices and get tech support from the library’s teen volunteers. Who better to help us with technology than our teens!

The Lucy Robbins Welles Library is Newington’s first-rate treasure. A treasure that needs your support.

Take a few moments from your busy day and pay a visit to the library which has been a vital part of this community for the last 75 years. Yes, 75 years.

Letter: Honored to be sent to the Capitol To the Editor: Thank you very much for allowing me to represent you in our state’s House of Representatives. I am both honored and grateful for the support you have shown these past several months leading up to Election Day, and I thank each and every one of you!

My platform remains to revive the middle class by increasing career opportunities here in state

by eliminating punishing regulations to corporations that wish to relocate here, by cutting taxes on pensions and social security so grandparents can remain here in state to watch their grandchildren grow, and by proposing up to a four year tax holiday to our college grads who choose to live and work here in Connecticut.

This task will take cooperation from other state legislators as well. My goal as your biparti-

san voice in Hartford has been, and always will be, to make Connecticut the “Learn Here, Earn Here, Retire Here” state!

I am honored to be sent to the Capitol on your behalf and am strongly committed to the people of Newington.

Again, thank you all so much, Gary Byron House of Representatives 27th District, Newington

Players skate, pass, shoot and check from seats mounted on two hockey skate blades. Each plays with two specially-designed sled hockey sticks.

This year, there are six teams competing in the NESHL, including Connecticut ’s Wolfpack and others hailing from New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Scouts learn emergency response

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

N EW I N GTO N — Newington’s young generation is learning how to respond to an emergency firsthand from the experts.

Boy Scouts in Troop 316 joined Cub Scouts in Pack 322 recently at Newington Volunteer Ambulance Association for comprehensive first aid training.

In fact, they’ve dedicated the entire month of November to the subject to prepare for a regional competition. On Dec. 6, Newington Scouts will face off against those from other troops throughout Hartford County’s Mark Twain District in their Annual First Aid Meet.

During their recent training session, the boys learned everything from how to treat burns and bug bites to how to respond to a heart attack or stop severe bleeding. They were also taught how to stop a person from choking and handle broken bones, among other situations.

Boys in Troop 316 learned about equipment used in emergency response.

NVA Captain Daniel Interlandi taught the classroom portion of the day, while Assistant Chief Scott Mangan guided groups on a tour through the facility.

Troop 316 Assistant Scoutmaster Paul Schiller remembers Mangan as den leader when he was a Cub Scout in Newington.

“He usually helps us out every year with our first aid training, but

he’s been involved with the troop for a very long time,” Schiller said.

The Cubs learned about making 911 calls and how they are handled by firefighters, police and other emergency responders. They were briefed on basic first aid techniques and had an up-close view of gear emergency responders put on before rescues.

The kids also peeked inside ambulances to check out equipment emergency medical personnel use to treat victims.

Scouts will demonstrate their knowledge of all these things during the upcoming first aid meet, during which they will act out emergency scenarios in front of a judging panel.

“It’s just a matter of being ready to handle any situation,” Schiller said. “The Boy Scouts’ motto is to be prepared. You’re not just prepared by having the right equipment, but also by having the knowledge and skill-set to respond to any situation you come across — not just in Scouting, but Boys in Cub Scout Pack 322 were taught first aid techniques from staff at Newington Volunteer Ambulance Association. in daily life.”

Stamm-Eddy in Constitution Square, where locals go for assistance in preparing to buy, sell and rent homes and businesses in town and throughout southwest Hartford County.

“It’s a good time to buy because interest rates are still low and there are people out there trying to sell their homes before the winter,” he said.

This weekend, they are offering a special opportunity to local veterans, since Veterans Day was Tuesday. A Veterans Home Buyers Seminar will be held at 10 a.m., and a mortgage broker will be on-hand to assist interested homebuyers.

“It’s a campaign to try to get veterans to utilize their veterans’ benefits,” Stamm explained.

“They pay no deposit, no money down and no private mortgage insurance if they served for 180 days or longer,” he added.

There are now 22 agents who operate out of the Century 21 franchise. They are not only wellversed in the real estate market, but they are also multilingual. The minute a client walks in, they are matched with an agent best suited to their needs, language and beyond. Agents speak English, Russian, Polish, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and even Malayalam and Tami, two Indian dialects.

All consultations are free and confidential as well, for a hassle-free experience.

“If you’re selling your home with us, it’s syndicated on over 300 websites where all the new buyers are looking,” Stamm said.

She reminded the small crowd that there are no days off for active-duty military personnel, who have to be ready to be called into action at any time.

“After 28 years of service, I’m still a citizen soldier,” Nieves continued. “I’m ready to go back if duty calls.”

“A veteran’s journey is a lifelong journey — scars run deep and take a lifetime to heal.”

The Singing Seniors of Newington sang the National Anthem and “God Bless America,” and prayers were offered by the Rev. James Kinnane from the Holy Spirit Church. Members of Newington’s Town Council and Board of Education also attended.

But it’s Newington youth who played a particularly important part in the event, to show that they honor the service of their

elders and those who fought and died for their freedom.

During a conversation after the ceremony, sophomore Key Club member Shelbin Cheriyan said, “I enjoy being able to memorialize, to honor these veterans.”

Joined by his sister Sherin, a senior, and fellow junior club member Kimberly Nguien, he carried a rose representing one of Newington’s 29 fallen soldiers.

“Most high school kids don’t even know this is going on today,” Nguien said. “It’s nice to be able to help out in some way.”

Cedar Mountain Commons’ resident care director receives board certification SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

NEWINGTON — Cedar Mountain Commons’ Resident Care Director Jo Anne Kuncas, MS, RN-BC, CMC, recently received board certification as a gerontological nurse by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Kuncas, who holds more than 40 years of nursing experience, came to Cedar Mountain Commons in June 2009.

As the resident care director, Kuncas works closely with residents and family through the

pre-assessment stage to living in the community, coordinates services and care, connects residents and families with community resources, stays updated with state regulations and orients licensed and non-licensed staff.

In addition to being a board certified gerontological nurse, Kuncas is also a certified care manager from the National Academy of Certified Care Managers and holds a master of science degree in health care management. She also is a facilitator for the Connecticut Assisted Living Association

Executive Directors Certification course and supervisor of Assisted Living Services course. She has taught for 10 years in a medical assisting program.

“I have a real passion for this population,” Kuncas said. “Seniors are like my family. For residents who don’t have anyone, I advocate on their behalf.”

She sees Cedar Mountain Commons, an independent and assisted living community, as an appropriate solution for older adults who are having increasing problems managing life on their own.

“There are aging parents failing at home who would do so much better with assisted services. It’s a quality of life issue,” Kuncas said.

Cedar Mountain Commons, a department of Hartford Hospital, is a not-for-profit independent and assisted living community.

Erica Schmitt | Staff

NHS senior Seann Morgan as main character “Charlie” and senior Oksana Veres as “Alice,” his love interest.

Drama students take to the stage, rehearse for fall production students who also play fall sports, making sure they can participate in both activities if they so wish.

When he polled students on which shows they’d like to do two years ago, “Flowers for Algernon” and Jane Austen’s “Emma” were the two clear favorites.

The latter stole the stage last spring, while Connolly saved “Flowers...” for this fall.

“Last year, we had a very strong senior actress, so I wanted to showcase her talents,” Connolly explained. “This year, we have three senior boys who are such a talented group, and I wanted to give them a chance to shine.”

That trio includes Seann, who was cast in a lead role his freshman year in the school’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and has been performing ever since.

“Flowers...” is a bit different.

“When I was growing up, the book was mandatory reading in the eighth grade,” said Connolly, who typically offers a play in the fall and a musical every spring.

Both endeavors draw differing groups of students, since some who act don’t sing, but others prefer to do both. Auditions for the spring production, “Pippin,” are set to begin just one week after “Flowers...” closes.

That might seem like a demanding schedule for students who want to participate in both shows. However, the school’s performing arts department is known for its success and dedication among students and all the way up to the district level.

“While other districts are cut-

ting back, we are lucky to have a superintendent and board who are so dedicated to the arts,” Connolly said.

Three years ago, a professional-grade lighting and sound board was installed in the back of the auditorium. Then just last week, the stage was resurfaced, LED lights were added and a state-of-the-art storage system now holds costumes and set pieces.

This particular piece of equip-

ment, according to Connolly, will benefit the program for at least the next 20 years. “The district has made a huge investment to modernize our facilities here,” he added. “We are so grateful to have that kind of support.”

“Flowers for Algernon” premieres next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20-22 at 7:30 p.m. with a Saturday matinée at 2:30 p.m. Tickets will be sold at Erica Schmitt | Staff the door: $10 for adults, $6 for At top, a state-of-the-art board controls lighting and sound in the NHS audistudents and senior citizens. torium.

Guerrera returns campaign funds SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

State Rep. Antonio “Tony” Guerrera (D-29) has announced he is returning $8,355 to the state’s Citizens Election Program, 100 percent of the money he received in taxpayer funds for the 2014 legislative election campaign.

“I accepted state funding, but placed it in reserve, because of the possibility that a last-minute candidate for the 29th Assembly District seat might emerge,” Guerrera said. “However, I was able to keep my expenditures to an absolute minimum, using my

privately donated funds to remind voters in Rocky Hill, Wethersfield, and Newington of my record over the past seven terms of dedicated public service on their behalf and to outline my priorities for the future.”

Guerrera added, “I am very grateful for the support 29th District voters have given to me over the past decade. I pledge to continue earning their trust in the years ahead by making the extremely difficult decisions that will be needed to encourage continued job growth and economic expansion.”

The Lucy Robbins Welles Library Children’s Department was given 1,000 paper cranes. Twenty high school students came to the library on Oct. 25 and hung the cranes; it took them three hours. In Japanese culture, 1,000 cranes are equal to one wish.
