Library hosts a thrilla from chinchilla

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Hushed and sitting crosslegged on the floor of the community room at the Lucy Robbins Welles Library Tuesday, all it took for children

to hop up in surprise was the sight of a tuft of fluffy white fur.

Gasps of excitement filled the air as Chris Evers, director and founder of the Animal Embassy, revealed he had a

chinchilla in tow.

Dedicated to fostering a fascination for wildlife through education, the Stamford-based Embassy was a guest of the library’s “Fizz-Boom-Read!”

Menchie’s ‘a feel-good kind of place,’ says new frozen yogurt shop’s owner

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

A new frozen treat shop has opened its doors on the Berlin Turnpike, just in time for blazing mid-summer weather to hit.

Menchie’s moved into the vacant spot in the Price Chopper plaza left by Yogurt Madness, another frozen yogurt shop. But owners of this new franchise claim it’s their family-friendly atmosphere and strong community ties that will make them a favorite for years to come.

“We’re so excited to be in Newington and a part of this community,” said Richard Khazzaka, who hosted a grand opening celebration all this week along with co-owner Jad Chawi.

A free giveaway and special deal were the highlight of each day, leading with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sunday that was attended

by town officials. Everyone who showed received a free cup of Menchie’s frozen yogurt and the first crowd, free T-shirts.

“The store was packed; it felt great,” Khazzaka said.

He and other staff members also sponsored a tie-dyed T-shirt event at the Newington Extravaganza Saturday alongside their colorful mascot, who is aptly named, “Menchie.”

They hope to continue working with residents and donating to local community groups in the future, and invite schools and organizations to host fundraising activities in-store.

“This is a feel-good kind of place,” Khazzaka explained.

“Beyond the yogurt, it’s the experience you have here. When you come in we want you to feel welcome and invited.”

Council approves funding to demolish National Welding

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

tion,” Councilor Maureen Klett said Tuesday, recalling voting no this past winter to hiring the Capitol Region Development Authority, another state agency, to manage the project.

“No matter how it’s explained,” she added, “I feel the town is abdicating control of a piece of property and I just won’t support it.”

“There is still a doubt in my mind that we as citizens will have any say as to what goes onto this property,” added Dave Nagel, minority leader.

Andy Brecher, the town’s economic development director, assured councilors that state officials were aware of their intentions since they approved the grant application, in which they objected to high-density housing.

“It provides us flexibility of a single use, whether that be industrial, commercial, retail or housing,” Brecher explained.

By the end of August officials expect to hire a contractor to do the demolition work, which they hope to have completed before the year’s end.

Town officials have agreed to receive assistance from the State Department of Economic and Community Development to revamp the former National Welding property, adjacent to CTfastrak’s Cedar Street Station.

Abating contaminants and demolishing the building are the first steps and are likely to begin this fall, after the Town Council accepted a $2 million grant from the DECD by a 5-3 vote Tuesday.

The Democratic majority approved the contract, which included a number of documents detailing project requirements. One of these — a Restrictive Use Covenant — was among concerns of Republicans, who rejected the resolution.

Outlined in it is an agreement to pursue transit-oriented development at the site for the next ten years, because of its proximity to the busway. This, they fear, could impose new development there that residents have said they don’t want: Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) low-income housing.

PET OF THE WEEK: SPARROW Sparrow, a handsome 2-year-old American Pit Bull terrier, is really just a pup!

He is very high energy and would like to live with kids over the age of 6.

Sparrow has not met any other dogs so he is not sure if he would like to share his home with a dog. As far as cats go, Sparrow would do best in a cat-free home.

He will be adopted with training classes included (complimentary) as we believe he is a great dog with lots of potential. He especially would love to work on his house-training manners.

Sparrow can live in any size home, including apartments, as long as he plenty of exercise and attention. Sparrow does require a family with general dog experience.

Come to Newington to visit with Sparrow.

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.

Extra! Extra! Read all about Newington’s Extravaganza

By MARK LUGRIS CORRESPONDENT

N e w i n g t o n’s 33rd Extravaganza at Mill Pond Park, the town’s biggest annual event, attracted an estimated 25,000 people Saturday for rides, food, music and fireworks.

DJ Ken Leggo, who grew up in Newington, has been working at the festival for seven years and considers it “the spotlight of my summer.” He also enjoys the local talent that ranges from dance troupes including Backstage Academy of Dance, founded in 2003, and amateur singers who participated in a karaoke show.

Aside from the fun and food, the extravaganza also offered parents the chance to participate in the Child Recovery and Identification Program, also known as CTCHIP, which is sponsored by the Connecticut Freemasons Association.

Run by volunteers Pamela and Steven Gorman, the program provided parents with a “purple pack,” which includes fingerprints, toothprints, a cheek swab, as well as a recorded interview with the

A POINT TO PONDER

Phil Mikan

You know, I still try and watch the evening news most days. I tend to watch NBC more than the others — not that they are any different. You would swear that one person puts together all the national newscasts They are usually in sync, story for story. They all run the same list of news events day after day. The same stories every day — interesting. Ever wonder how come? Most people don’t really think too much about it. The news is so graphically bad — floods,

fires, wars, rockets, bombs falling and people in one form of emotional stress or tear-filled response.

I don’t ever remember seeing so many men and women crying in front of the world. Have we lost our grit, our determination to come out from adversity? Whatever happened to “be strong, you can do it, show them what you are made of.” All that seems gone in this brave new world of diversity and equality. I don’t ever remember seeing men cry so much, white men,

black men, brown men, old men, young men. Are they showing their softer gentler self or are we being programed by corporate America that resistance is futile and to just give in to the fate that awaits you?

We can’t affect our destiny, the world around us does that. Or as the Ancient Greeks would know, we are the toys of the gods; they play with us. I’m tired of feeling like I am lied to and toyed with, not important enough to work my own destiny. I like my unalienable rights

and expect the people who govern me to feel the same!

A point to ponder.

Amendment would restrict signage on Berlin Turnpike

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Take a cruise down the Berlin Turnpike on any given day and you’ll be bombarded by signs large and small, promoting special deals and events at the many businesses along the busy state highway.

Some of those advertisements are sanctioned by town zoning officials, who issue permits to business owners and residents that regulate their size, placement and length of stay. But some of them have never been approved by the town, and a proposed amendment to section 6.2 of zoning regulations would prohibit them from the Berlin Turnpike — restricting their use to the town center — and completely ban them from vehicles.

The amendment was drafted recently by the Town Planning & Zoning Commission, which formed a sub-committee about a year ago to address the signage issue. The public will have a chance to speak on the proposal at a hearing Aug. 13.

“Members of the TPZ were frustrated at the proliferation of

unapproved signs on the turnpike,” 12 months, after which they could Town Planner Craig Minor said be renewed for up to an additionMonday. al year. This basically comprises the area right around the intersection of Route 175 and Main Street, including Constitution Square, the Starbucks plaza across the street and the Town Hall/library complex.

Any new businesses or those expanding or relocating may be issued a 20-day permit for a temporary sign in non-residential zones.

All signs must be on the property advertising the event or sale and are not to exceed 10 feet in height and 50 square feet per side.

Reney added that this change would not only significantly hurt Karma’s Closet, which just opened a year-and-a-half ago, but other small businesses as well.

“I know it’s not just me,” she explained. “I would love to encourage other business owners, not just on the Berlin Turnpike but anywhere in town, to come to the hearing and let this committee know how this would affect businesses.”

When it gets closer to Election Day in November, this amendment won’t impact campaigning, since political signs aren’t subject to regulations.

most visible to outsiders,” Minor explained. “It’s most important for Newington to present a good, clean appearance to the general public.”

Members of the Newington Chamber of Commerce, which represents over 250 businesses, aren’t thrilled about the proposed change.

“It’s not supporting smaller businesses,” Terry Gogluicci, chamber president, said Monday.

“For smaller businesses on the turnpike, not being able to use temporary signs is going to be detrimental,” she added, pointing out that those that are set back out of view of drivers will be especially at a loss.

Karma’s Closet, a consignment store at 3153 Berlin Turnpike with home decor, clothing, shoes and accessories, is among those.

“As much advertising as you want to do it’s not always in the budget, but a few bucks for lawn signs to help promote your business on the side of the road can really go a long way,” said owner Deanna Reney, who also rents space in her store to 10 local crafters. “That’s something I knew when I signed the lease for a property

Cedar Mountain Commons courtyard gets ladybug theme

NEWINGTON — Cedar Mountain Commons residents were busy throughout June crafting various items to decorate the new ladybug garden that was dedicated in the rear courtyard on July 10.

“Our grounds at Cedar Mountain Commons are beautifully landscaped; however, residents and staff decided to create this haven where people can enjoy the sunshine, birds, chipmunks and other wildlife,” said Debra Labbe, activity director.

The idea soon blossomed into transforming the area into a garden with a ladybug theme.

Various garden decorations including windsocks, wind chimes, sun-catchers and painted ladybug rocks were all made by the residents.

Two prominent features are birdhouses that were made from recycled materials under the guidance of Tom Pleva, execu-

tive chef, and Diovadis Perez, maintenance director.

Residents also learned about bird habitats and planned the projects accordingly.

They decided that the hanging birdhouse should be painted a cheery sunshine yellow and the other birdhouse, which was left natural, was positioned on a 6-foot pole.

The new decorations complement the natural feel of the area, which includes walking paths, raised flower beds and several sitting areas.

The dedication was celebrated with a Sunshine, Songbirds and Smoothies event, followed by a Garden Happy Hour and dinner.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

Salomone describes project Continued from Page 1

The project includes an interior renovation to Town Hall and construction of a new community center in Mill Pond Park, adjacent to the Town Hall complex.

Moving the center to open park land has sparked the most opposition from residents, who came to the council’s meeting Tuesday sporting blue and yellow T-shirts that read “Save Mill Pond Park” and hand-written “Say No Sept.

9” stickers.

During the public participation portion of the meeting speakers referenced the town’s 2020 Plan of Conservation and Development, which was compiled in 2010 as a guide for town improvements over the next decade. Emphasized in it was the need for preserving the town’s existing open space, which includes the park.

Deputy Mayor Clarke Castelle chairs the building committee that has met since 2008 to plan this project, and he says in the long term it will benefit the community in a multitude of ways.

“Within a couple of years the

John Salomone addresses the Rotary Club this week.

idea is to close the pool and remove the concrete structures on that end of Mill Pond, build a new pool, then restore park space where I think it really matters,” he explained.

It’s the school bus garage that has really destroyed park-goers’ experience of Mill Pond Falls, according to Castelle.

Moving this facility to another location in the near future is another tentative plan, after which more open space can be restored.

“That’s why I’m not worried about losing an acre-and-a-half of

park land,” he added. “Because the net gain down the road is going to be greater.”

To learn more about the project attend the Newington Kiwanis’ free informational meeting, open to the public, this Monday, July 28, at 7 p.m. at Paradise Pizza, 10 East St., New Britain.

Other community groups interested in scheduling presentations can contact the Town Manager’s Office at (860) 665-8510.

Letter: A failure to listen to the people’s will To the Editor:

The recent public hearing on the proposed Mill Pond Park recreation complex and Town Hall renovations, supported by the Democratic majority, is a glaring example of failing to listen to the will of the people.

The public overwhelmingly requested a November referendum instead of the proposed August date and were denied this opportunity by the Democratic majority who decided to hold the referendum in September.

We, the Republican councilors, voiced our objection to the proposed referendum date and adamantly requested that it be scheduled with the general election in November as the public wanted.

We feel that this would not only save tax money, but also hopefully

would get the best resident turnout.

The cost estimate for holding this separate referendum is estimated to be $33,000, as of today. Our objection to the project is based on the costs of a separate building concept earmarked for open space that cannot be replaced, the loss of a soccer field without a concrete plan for replacement, overall project costs, and the failure of the architect and construction manager in presenting a project that best fits the needs of Newington residents.

The Town Hall renovation committee has been through many changes over five years. The referendum that gets sent to the voters ignores our 2020 Town Plan that identified Mill Pond Park as dedicated open space. Unfortunately, the Town Hall renovations are being held captive and Parks & Recreation will end up with its

own facility on the little open space left in Newington.

Mayor Woods “strongly defended building a separate community center” as reported in the June 26 Hartford Courant. This decision was just as strongly supported by the Democratic majority. We will leave it up to you, the residents of Newington, to determine if this course of action is the kind of representation you wanted or expect.

Republican Town Councilors Daniel Dinunzio Maureen Klett David Nagel

summer programming.

“It fits our science theme perfectly,” said Pat Pierce, head of children’s services. “People love animals, and I think biology and the science of animals is a big draw,” she added.

As he placed a chinchilla in the palms of 7-year-old Jonah Courtemanche, Evers said, “If these chinchillas are going to see thousands of children in the next 30 years of their lives, do I want them to be scared of kids?

No. That’s why you brave volunteers are helping me immensely.”

With a huge smile on his face Jonah hopped off and hugged his little sister, who shrieked, “Was that scary?!”

“It was so cool,” Jonah whispered.

Five-year-old Darian Riggins also had the pleasure of cradling a chinchilla. Lisa, her mom, was very impressed with the program.

“I thought it was wonderful,” she said afterwards. “He was so great with the kids. Darian is usually scared of animals, but

this helped her understand how to touch them properly and not hurt them.”

Kids also had the chance to play with three-week-old peacocks, red-eyed frogs and other exotic animals.

Then on Wednesday people of all ages explored the Connecticut State Police Mobile Crime Lab. Next Friday, Aug. 1, in celebration of the library’s 75th anniversary, patrons are invited to watch “The Wizard of Oz,” which is also celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.

Simultaneous screenings of the movie will be shown throughout the library to appeal to all ages.

There will be crafts, games, “1939” snacks and a prize giveaway. Registration is required for the sing-along screening only.

Call (860) 665-8700 to register.

Doors open at 6 p.m. Movies start at 6:30 p.m. The Lucy Robbins Welles Library is located at 95 Cedar St. Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 225-4601, ext. 210, or eschmitt@newbritainherald.com.

Woody the Bear officially named Middlewoods’ mascot

NEWINGTON — Just in case you were wondering, a community mascot is not really a common feature of a traditional assisted living community.

This is why it makes perfect sense that Middlewoods of Newington Assisted and Independent Living Community would adopt a community mascot as part of its family.

Throughout the past five years, Woody the Bear has danced at community parties and picnics, attended sporting events, visited doctors’ offices, posed for pho-

tos, and shown off a closet full of outfits. Why? Because life at Middlewoods of Newington is fun and no matter your age, there is just “something” about a fuzzy bear mascot that makes people feel happy.

The idea for a community mascot came from Executive Director Kathy Braga, who then introduced the idea to the corporate team at United Methodist Homes (UMH), the organization which owns and manages the community.

After much persistence, Braga

convinced them to say yes to her request for a fuzzy bear costume.

The bear costume then became the community mascot and was named Woody the Bear,” in response to the cleverly phrased question: What do you find in the “Middle-of-thewoods”?

A bear, of course! Since then, “Woody” has become a familiar face around Middlewoods and the local community, charming staff, residents, family members and guests with her heartwarming smile, generous hugs, and

friendly antics.

Check out fun photos of Woody on the Middlewoods of Newington Facebook page.

For more information about Middlewoods of Newington Assisted and Independent Living Community, visit www. middlewoodsofnewington.org or contact Kathy Braga at (860) 667-1336.

The award-winning community is located at 2125 Main St. and is owned and managed by UMH, a local, faith-based notWoody the Bear dances with a resifor-profit organization. dent of Middlewoods of Newington.

NEWINGTON LIBRARY CALENDAR TEEN AND ADULT PROGRAMS LITERARY ELEMENTS! Adult readers will earn a prize giveaway ticket for each book they read or listen to, which will be entered into weekly drawings for special gift baskets. All tickets collected throughout the summer will be entered into the grand prize drawing to be held on Aug. 15.

ARTWORK ON DISPLAY THROUGH JULY: Throughout the month of July, Maria Melnyk Vilcinskas will display her acrylic and oil paintings in the Community Room of the Lucy Robbins Welles Library, 95 Cedar St. Her exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours when the Community Room is not being used for another program: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (860) 6658700 PHOTO EXHIBIT: Throughout the month of August, the Lucy Robbins Welles will host the following exhibit: “Captured Visions: Photographic Expressions of David and Alexandra Everett.” Father and daughter will also host an Artists’ Reception Saturday, Aug. 2, from 2 to 4 p.m. The reception

is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served. David’s interest in photography stems from his 13th year when he was lucky enough to use his father’s World War II vintage 35mm film camera.

His interest grew so much that he left CCSU after two years to attend the world famous Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, Calif. After having graduated from the Institute, he worked in the advertising field, shooting products for magazine ads. His lifelong interest in martial arts redirected him in the late 1970s to study and teach full-time and he ultimately opened a martial arts studio in West Hartford. His studio and its influx of renowned teachers became the subjects of his work. Having converted to the digital medium, David remains strongly focused on creations of landscape, architectural and nature creations, as well as spiritually inspiring photographic renderings. His work has graced the Kodak exhibit in Anaheim, Calif., the New Britain Museum of American Art and won an award at the 2013 CT Historical Society exhibit.

David’s daughter Alexandra Everett has always had a strong artistic and creative sense, whether decorating cakes professionally, sculpting,

painting or shooting photographs.

She is a self-taught photographer, with influences from abstract art and the images of the ’30s and ’40s.

She has worked closely on photo trips with her father who introduced her to digital cameras over 10 years ago. The exhibit may be viewed in the Community Room during regular library hours when the room is not in use for a scheduled program: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m..

NEWINGTON — In recognition of National Ice Cream Month, residents of Cedar Mountain Commons celebrated the occasion in a big way — a very big way — on July 10. The executive chef and culinary staff created a 6-foot banana split using vanilla ice cream, bananas, coconut, chocolate chips, marshmallows, colored sprinkles, whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

Thirty residents and staff members made short work of the treat. “I’m sorry to say that it was so good there was nothing left to show for it,” said Debra Labbe, Cedar Mountain Commons activity director.

At left, Cedar Mountain Commons resident Connie Kolosowski enjoys a portion of the sundae. Cedar Mountain Commons, a department of Hartford Hospital, is a not for profit independent and assisted living community. It is located at 3 John H. Stewart Drive in Newington.

WETHERSFIELD LIBRARY CALENDAR ADULT PROGRAMS HARTFORD CIRCUS FIRE MEMORABILIA ON DISPLAY: Memorabilia of the Hartford circus fire courtesy of Wethersfield resident and circus fire survivor Harry L. Lichtenbaum will be on display at the Library.

July 6, 1944 was one of the most tragic days in history. In the north end of Hartford, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus burned to the ground in less than 10 minutes. The final count was 168 dead, mostly women and children, 487 seriously injured and many scarred for life. The lives of over 6,000 survivors who survived physically unscathed were forever affected by the memory of that tragic day including Lichtenbaum and his sister. Lichtenbaum’s collection will be on display at Wethersfield Library during the month of July. For information and directions to the library, visit www. wethersfieldlibrary.org or call 2572811.

ROBERT DERAY EXHIBIT: The artwork of Hartford resident Robert DeRay is on display at the Wethersfield Library during July and August. DeRay’s exhibit includes paintings of dogs and horses as well as other animals and people. Most are acrylic on canvas with some pencil and pen and ink sketches. The library is located at 515 Silas Deane Hwy. For information and directions to the library, visit www.wethersfieldlibrary.org or call 257-2821.

“FOOD FOR FINES”: Wethersfield Library users will be able to pay off their overdue fines this summer

by bringing in non-perishable food items to donate to the Wethersfield Food Bank. (Sorry, food may not be used to “pay” for Lost or Damaged library materials.) These are the foods most needed: canned beans (all kinds), boxed macaroni and cheese, canned fruit, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, jelly or jam, breakfast cereal, canned tuna, granola bars, 100 percent fruit juice (in individual boxes, cans, or plastic bottles). Please check for expiration dates on donated items and donate only fresh, healthy items. The Food for Fines program will run through Aug. 30.
