He was hired by the city of New Britain in 1984 and has served as director since 2006. During that time, the 56-year-old DeMaio oversaw at least $100 million in renovations and program grants.

His fingerprints are on all seven major parks and the city’s 30 smaller ones.

Bill DeMaio, New Britain’s Parks and Recreation director, is moving on at the end of the month to lead the Newington Department of Parks and Recreation.

DeMaio ‘thrilled’ to lead town’s parks and recreation department Continued from Page 1

Rose Garden Festival, Timeless Tales of Fairview Cemetery and many more successful city events.

“There are a select few people whose unique skills and records of accomplishments have made them City Hall legends who are remembered long after they leave,” Stewart said. “Bill is a member of that distinguished group.”

He led the renovation of Stanley Golf Course, including building the driving range in 2001. The redesign and construction of the new ninth hole, known as the Red 9, will be finished next week. He is particularly proud to have brought the Go Ape Zipline and Treetop Adventure course to Stanley Park just a few weeks ago. This new park will serve the city for the next 20 to 30 years, DeMaio said.

When Newington’s former parks superintendent Bruce Till retired in mid-April, DeMaio jumped at the chance to work in Newington.

“I want to give back to my hometown,” he said.

As a kid, he played basketball, football and baseball in town and took swimming lessons in Churchill Pond. When he got a little older, DeMaio volunteered as a basketball referee and an umpire.

It was a career test he took as a senior at Newington High School that revealed his true calling.

“As fate would have it, it came out that I should be a parks and recreation director,” DeMaio remembered.

His guidance counselor suggested Springfield College, so that’s where he went. During summers home from college, he worked nearly every part-time job Newington’s Parks and Recreation Department offered. After graduation and a brief stint in Rocky Hill, he was hired as a supervisor in Newington.

It was there DeMaio established what he called “The Life.

BEInIt Extravaganza, an annual festival that has since become the town’s largest event. This July, the festival will celebrate its 34th year.

“I’ll be fortunate enough to

attend it again and be able to supervise it this year,” DeMaio said.

He credits the department’s past leaders with instilling in him a strong foundation that helped shape his career. After more than three decades in New Britain, he now has a lot to bring back to Newington.

“Ironically it’s coming full circle,” DeMaio said. “Coming back home couldn’t make me any happier. I’m humbled to be able to have this opportunity and thrilled and excited to start again.”

DeMaio will oversee 20 full-time employees and 100 part-timers at his new post. He’s also hoping to work with local businesses, schools and civic groups on a regular basis.

“I want to try to join forces with them to add to the excitement and make Newington a better place to live, work and play,” he said.

Newington High School’s Credit Diploma Program 2015 graduating class.

Hard work pays off for credit diploma grads

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

NEWINGTON — Students who had a bit more challenging time in high school than most completed a milestone achievement last Thursday, finally receiving their diplomas.

Credit Diploma Program Commencement was held at Newington High School, where 13 graduated. Keynote speaker Kim Davis, the district’s director of extended learning, offered encouraging words and Town Councilor Clarke Castelle played “Pomp and Circumstance” on the piano, as he has for the last several years.

“This night is the one, year after year, that means the most to me,” Castelle said. “I can’t think

of anything better that I could do than try to contribute something meaningful to this ceremony.”

The ceremony was similar to that of graduates’ typical high school peers, attended by family, friends and school officials.

However, their school experience was much different, consisting of accelerated evening classes with no study hall or lunch breaks in between. Attendance is a mandatory policy, with only two absences permitted during the school’s trimester schedule.

“It’s a streamlined program,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Collins, who praised this group for their particular dedication.

“It’s almost more rewarding to see these kids get a diploma

“It’s almost more rewarding to see these kids get a diploma because I know how much harder they worked for it.”

DR. WILLIAM COLLINS Superintendent of Newington schools

because I know how much harder they worked for it,” he said.

Originally designed for those who struggled with the day program, this alternative option provides the same courses offered at Newington High School, most taught by school faculty. Credits from previous high school experience transfer over, and students can earn up to six more a year.

They need a total of 20 credits to

graduate.

Earning them poses a stimulating challenge for those among the group, who may be balancing school with jobs and family responsibilities. It’s this challenge, school officials say, that motivates them to finish.

Since it began, the program has had a 99.1 percent graduation rate.

“We’ve had extremely high success,” Collins said. “Very often

students will make mistakes early on in their high school career. One size fits all doesn’t work for them.

When the light at the end of the tunnel looks pretty dim, we offer this program so they can see the light and graduate.”

Many will go on to community technical colleges or begin work almost immediately. Others attend four-year schools and some, like a 74-year-old woman who graduated several years ago, simply did it for the diploma.

“She had a 60-year hiatus,” Collins said. “But she always wanted to finish, so she stuck with it.”

Newington High School’s Class of 2015 will graduate next Tuesday evening at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

Longtime volunteer honored for decades of service STAFF WRITER

NEWINGTON — Ham radio operator, flea market promoter, linguist and volunteer. Alexander Cohen does it all.

The 97-year-old Newington resident was the guest of honor Monday evening at the monthly business meeting of the Newington Kiwanis Club, which has had his membership for more than 30 years.

Some know him as the husband of beloved town councilor Myra Cohen, who passed away in February, but “Al” — as friends call him — has been performing his own share of volunteer work for quite some time now.

Club members, friends, family, state and town officials gathered at Paradise Pizza Restaurant in New Britain Monday to surprise Cohen and show him how much they appreciate his efforts.

Television personality Steve Parker, who often hosts Kiwanis events, suggested the recognition dinner.

State Sen. Paul Doyle, D-Newington, and state Rep. Gary Byron, R-Newington, congratulated him with an Official Citation from the General Assembly.

“You are a shining example, a real role model for all of us,” Doyle said.

Newington Mayor Stephen Woods also attended the meeting.

“You’ve been volunteering longer than I’ve been alive,” he said to Cohen. “The town can’t thank you anywhere near enough. It’s people like you — who take time away

from their families...and make sure Newington is a better place for everyone — that we need to remember to thank more often.”

Along with his wife Myra, Cohen moved to town from New York City in 1956. A World War II Air Force veteran, he and his business partner opened Signal Electric Supply in West Hartford and Springfield, Mass. When he retired in the 1990s, he had already been a Kiwanis member for more than 20 years.

He has since been an integral part of the Kiwanis Big K Flea Market, which began in 1992 and runs every Sunday from the end of April to June and the end of August to October. Cohen is also handles the club’s public relations and program promotion.

In addition, he is a life member of the Newington Amateur Radio League and Quarter Century Wireless Association as a licensed ham radio operator for more than 25 years. He also chairs the Yiddish language club at Bnai Tikvoh Sholom Synagogue in Bloomfield.

Cohen fell for Monday’s surprise, since Kiwanis President Dan Henry had given him an inconspicuous agenda for their usual meeting.

“Sometimes people work really hard in an organization and they don’t get the recognition they should,” Henry said. “We certainly want to take the chance to tell Al we appreciate him while we can.”

For Cohen, helping out is just a regular part of his life.

“The fact of the matter is that

I am only doing things that I find to be fun,” he said. “Of course I’m flattered and gratified that people noticed.”

On Monday, June 29, the Newington Kiwanis Club will host Byron and Doyle at its monthly speaker meeting, “An Areawide Symposium of the CT Legislature’s First 180 Days.”

The program will be at Paradise Pizza Restaurant, 10 East St., New Britain, at 7 p.m.

Newington schools help students ‘win the future’

By KIM DAVIS

DIRECTOR OF EXTENDED LEARNING SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

Will teenagers be ready to enter the 21st century workforce?

Will they have the skills and dispositions necessary to live a productive life in an ever-changing society?

We all want the best for our children, and in today’s demanding global economy, students need to graduate from high school with the knowledge and skills to be successful in college and careers in order to attain a quality standard of living.

In his State of the Union address in January 2011, President Obama said, “Maintaining our leadership in research and technology is crucial to America’s success. But if we want to win the future — if we want innovation to produce jobs in America and not overseas — then we also have to win the race to educate our kids.”

A l o n g those same lines, the U.S. Department of Education’s call for a “revolutionary evaluation” of our educational institutions, in an effort to make sure that we are providing students with engaging and powerful learning experiences, is crucial to the success of our students.

Three years ago, Newington Public Schools proved their dedication to help students “win the future” by developing high-quality, innovative programs. It began with the implementation of the STEM Exploratory Program at both middle schools. With a blend of engineering, science and creativity, students are engaged in the process of designing, building and problem solving. This helps students to develop processing skills which enables them to create innovative and surprising solutions to new problems, rather than regurgitate the solutions to problems of the past.

Last year saw the implementation of the Academy of Biomedical Sciences at Martin

Kellogg Middle School and the Newington High School academy programs: Information Technology and Digital Innovation Academy, Finance and Business Management Academy and the Culinary and Hospitality Academy. They invite community engagement with business professionals in order to give students opportunities to learn from entrepreneurs in the real world.

For example, students in the IT and Digital Innovation Career Academy at NHS enjoyed a “lunch and learn” with community business member Jaime Welch from New Wave Industries.

Welch spoke of the many responsive design services that New Wave Industries offers its clients that connect with the imperative skills students are learning in their mobile application, IT and graphic design classes.

T h i s upcoming school year will see the opening of the Academy of Aerospace and Engineering at John Wallace Middle School.

Students will explore and research aerospace topics in depth, such as aeronautics, the aerospace environment, aerospace physiology, air navigation and the physics and operation of spacecraft. Curricula will be rigorous, innovative and relevant to today’s world. It will emphasize project-based learning and problem solving skills, and it will develop students’ collaboration and critical thinking abilities.

Construction will begin on the Newington High School STEM wing and will open in the fall of 2016. This wing will house bioscience and aerospace labs, an updated culinary kitchen and event dining space, and will include a shared “Think Tank,” where students can share new ideas, create and build prototypes, and fail as many times as necessary to ultimately reach success.

To learn more about the programs, please visit npsct.org or contact Kim Davis at kdavis@ npsct.org.

Byron votes against controversial tax hike

Gifts of gratitude

SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

HARTFORD — State Rep. Gary Byron voted June 3 against a controversial nearly $2 billion tax hike that he says will have a direct impact on middle-class families in his hometown district of Newington.

Byron said the budget, passed on a thin 73-70 margin, could hurt mom-and-pop stores throughout Newington, possibly causing businesses to close and families to be without work.

The $40 billion budget — which hikes taxes on property owners and businesses and repeals a number of tax breaks the middle class clings to — comes after months of Newington residents voicing concerns over renewed tax increases.

“There are real people in Newington, real families with

children who will face the brunt order,” Byron added. of this new budget,” Byron said.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

Rotary announces leadership award winners SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

Two Newington High School sophomores have been tapped as recipients of this year’s Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA.) The Newington Rotary Club selected Thomas Doyle and Stephanie Akosa based on their academic achievements and demonstrated leadership roles as students at NHS. They will attend a one-day leadership program on June 13 at Springfield College in Massachusetts, along with other students who were selected for the honor

by Rotary clubs within Rotary District 7890, representing northern Connecticut and western Massachusetts.

As a member of NHS Class of 2017, Tom has maintained high honors for all semesters, which included honors courses in history, science, English and Spanish.

He achieved scholastic success while also participating in the high school’s varsity cross country and indoor and outdoor track teams. Aside from his demonstrated leadership abilities within the school environment, Tom is an avid Boy Scout who currently holds the rank of Life Scout, making him a candidate for Eagle Scout, the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting division.

“I believe the key component of being a leader is the ability to motivate others and to lead by example,” Tom told Rotary members. “When I set goals and achieve them, I’m motivating others to succeed.”

Tom explained that his leadership qualities have rubbed off on his sister, who aspires to follow in his footsteps by doing well academically and athletically.

Stephanie has also demonstrated youth leadership qualities by setting an example for others as a member of the NHS Key Club and Student Council.

Stephanie achieved high honors for all semesters, was named Outstanding Student of the Month earlier this year and was inducted into both the math and Spanish National Honor Society. Like Tom, she is involved in varsity indoor and outdoor track teams. In addition, she’s served as a volunteer at the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center and is active in her church.

“A good leader is open to what others have to say, and you then base your opinion on what’s best for everybody as a whole,” she told Rotary members. “When I commit to a project, I’m dedicated to giving it my all and seeing it through to completion.

I believe I was selected for the RYLA because I care about my school and the community.”

Newington Rotarian Robert Randich congratulates Newington High School students Stephanie Akosa and Tom Doyle, who were selected to receive the 2015 Rotary Youth Leadership Award.

Rotarian Robert Randich, chairman of Newington’s RYLA program, is extremely pleased with this year’s student selections.

“NHS recommended these students based not only on their academic skills, but they’ve been identified as potential future leaders,” Randich said, indicating that RYLA was established for the very purpose of seizing an opportunity to develop and foster tomorrow’s leaders. “At Springfield College, course presenters will hone in on ways to enhance the students’ present and future leadership qualities.”

The one-day program is designed to offer a core curriculum that addresses the fundamentals of leadership, ethics of positive leadership, the importance of communication skills, problem-solving and elements of community and global citizenship.

District 7890 Rotary clubs are affiliated with Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation, whose combined efforts fund and support the work of all Rotarians. As leaders, they work tirelessly to solve some of the world’s toughest challenges.

“Rotary encourages our members to be responsible leaders in order to make a difference at home and around the world,” Randich explained. “What better program than RYLA to begin that process with high school standouts?”

Award winners will attend a leadership program at Springfield College in Massachusetts.

NEW BRITAIN — The Hospital of Central Connecticut (HOCC) Department of Radiology has been designated a Lung Screening Cancer Center by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

To receive distinction as a Lung Cancer Screening Center, facilities must be accredited by the ACR in computed tomography in the chest module, as well as undergo a rigorous assessment of its lung cancer screening protocol and infrastructure. Also required are procedures in place for follow-up patient care, such as counseling and smoking cessation programs.

leading cancer killer. Gorny adds that lung cancer screening can also incidentally detect other types of malignancies, including lymphoma, liver, adrenal, splenic, and renal cancers, contributing to a 7 percent all-cause mortality reduction.

HOCC previously provided such screenings as part of a recent Hartford HealthCare Cancer Institute clinical trial.

Screening is recommended for adults aged 55 to 77 years who have a 30-pack-per-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years.

Radiation dosage for the screening is nearly the same amount of radiation as in a mammogram, about one tenth of a typical CT scan. The screening is covered by insurance, including Medicare.

For more information on lung cancer screening, call thoracic nurse navigator Noa Mencher at (860) 696-4814. A physician referral is required for a screening.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

State’s first indoor backyard generator showroom prepares homeowners for power outages

The hardships created by living for days without electricity after historic storms has elevated generators from a luxury to a necessity for many Connecticut home and business owners.

However, comparing generator brands and models can be time consuming and confusing. Now, CT Home Generator Systems will unveil the state’s first generator showroom and warranty service center on June 13, offering convenience and expert advice.

After the October 2011 surprise storm created unprecedented demand for home generators, Ed Ingalls, owner of Newington Electric Company and CT Electric Car, immediately launched CT Home Generator Systems and CT Generator Repair as separate divisions.

Newington Electric Company was already the state’s largest Generac generator installer and dealer, offering homeowners on-site repairs on Generac generators. The company has been a Generac dealer for over 20 years, but the subsidiary CT Home Generator Systems has now created an indoor backyard display showroom and in-house repair and warranty service center staffed with trained and certified Generac technicians. The opening of the interactive showroom allows families and homeowners to comfortably shop for generators in real world scenarios.

“This isn’t your typical industrial showroom,” said Ingalls. “We’ve created comfortable patio areas complete with grass, landscape and walkways so that customers will be able to visualize what their generator system will look like in their own backyard or garage setting. Homeowners can also experience firsthand how easy it is to operate an automatic standby or portable manual start generator. They will also be able to tour our entire facility, including our repair shop and service center.”

A d d i t i o n a l l y, the 12,000-square-foot showroom at 72 Pane Road in Newington encompasses both parent companies Newington Electric and CT Electric Car. The electric vehicle

CT Home Generator Systems’ new showroom.

(EV) showroom is also interactive, allowing hands on demos of how to plug in an EV and displaying the latest car charging options.

CT Electric Car specializes in the installation and wiring of residential and commercial electric car charging stations throughout Connecticut. The parking lot has two free EV charging stations for anyone needing to plug in their EV. CT Electric Car is listed on the state of Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s website as a qualified EV installer and contractor. In addition, the company works with EVSE Control Modules, LLC, in Enfield, installing EV charging stations throughout the state’s grant program.

To celebrate the completion of the new corporate headquarters and showroom, the company will host a grand opening celebration of the generator showroom.

The event will be held June 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring refreshments, special on-site promotions, generator trade-ins and buy-back incentives. Incentives include: ∎ Complimentary hot dogs, hamburgers, beverages and other concessions. ∎ Free $1,000 coupons toward the purchase and installation of an automatic standby generator

system to anyone who attends the event. ∎$1,000 Standby Upgrade Vouchers for residents who already own a standby generator. ∎CT Home Generator Systems will give a $1,000 voucher for old standby generators, regardless of age or condition. Vouchers can be used toward the installation of a new standby generator system.

CT Home Generators Systems will remove and dispose the old generator and install a brand new system. Vouchers are only valid through June 30. ∎ $500 Portable Upgrade Voucher for residents who already own a portable generator. CT Home Generator Systems will give a $500 voucher for old portable generators regardless of age or condition. Vouchers can be used toward the installation of a new portable generator system.

Vouchers are only valid through June 30. ∎ Free generator accessories, for existing Generac generator customers only, from June 15 through Sept. 30. Existing Generac customers can register online at cthomegeneatorsystems. com to win Mobile Link, an app that keeps track of your generator/usage when you’re not home; free generator tune up; wireless remote; and extended warranty.

CT Home Generator Systems’ main focus will be on top-shelf

customer service, specializing in affordable, standby generator solutions to residential customers with fast, on-site, 24-hour emergency backyard service, maintenance, repair and warranty work for Generac generators. The company will also offer pick up and delivery service for repairs and maintenance of generators.

The new in-house repair service center will now offer Generac customers a place to bring their portable Generac generators and power washers in for repairs, tune-ups and warranty work.

As an authorized sales and service center for Generac Power Systems, the company will be handling warranty and recall work for Generac. As a service to its customers, all on-site or in-house factory warranty and recall work will be billed directly to Generac.

“We want to be the number one, go-to Generac repair service center in Connecticut. If you can’t come to us, we will go to you 24/7 regardless of where you bought your generator or who installed it,” said Ingalls.

Portable electric start standby generators run on gasoline and are manually operated. They cost approximately $1,500 to be installed and wired into existing electrical systems.

Aut om at i c st a n dby generator systems kick on automatically when the power goes

out and run on propane or natural gas. Automatic standby systems start at approximately $5,500 to be installed and wired into existing electrical systems.

“We truly offer turn-key generator installations,” said Ingalls.

“We deal directly with the town to pull any necessary permits, handle electrical wiring, run natural gas or propane hookups and schedule all inspections. All the homeowner has to do is call us and we take it from there.”

CT Home Generator Systems is a full line dealer for Generac residential and commercial standby products, as well as a full line of portables. For more helpful information on home generator systems, safety and installation, visit CTHomeGeneratorSystems. com or call (855) 667-4819.

Newington Electric Company is the parent company of Connecticut Home Generator Systems. Newington Electric offers statewide electrical contracting services specializing in commercial and residential electrical service and repairs. It is a second-generation company founded in 1958 by Richard Ingalls and is now owned and operated by his son, Edward Ingalls. Newington Electric is state licensed and registered with the state of Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection. For more information, visit newingtonelectric.com or call(860) 667-4819.
