for any Newington students who apply.

These initiatives are all part of a strategic plan the district set into motion Monday, called NPS 2025. The plan outlines five focus areas as the 2012 kindergarten class makes its way through the school system, set to graduate Newington High in 2025: student growth and performance; organizational efficiency; adaptability and effectiveness; a safe and supportive school climate and facilities; an infrastructure that supports 21st century learning; and family and community engagement. Progress will be posted online, so the families and teachers — whose input in a survey last year helped design the plan — will be able to see the efforts in action.

Not only are students and school employees going high-tech, but so is the Board of Education, which serves an integral role in creating these forwardthinking policies.

All nine members of the board will receive iPads at their first meeting of the school year Sept. 12.

Prior to the meeting, the group will be attending a retreat and briefed on the state’s new education mandates by Attorney Tom Mooney, who made a visit to Wethersfield recently.

As students filed into Newington High School Tuesday, headed to their new classes, they may not have realized the thoughtful planning that took place over the summer to ensure their success.

“Congratulations go out to the hard-working staff for all the work they did to make sure we could have a nice, smooth opening,” said NHS Principal James Wenker. “Every principal wants to see every student succeed to the best of their ability, and that’s no different here,” he added. “We want everybody who walks through our doors to have a great day and be the best they can be.”

CL&P officials offer advice, answer questions at forum STAFF WRITER

Amidst the beginning of hurricane season with Hurricane Isaac still posing an unknown threat to the state, it was perfect timing for the Newington Kiwanis to host Connecticut Light & Power at their monthly public forum Monday night.

The company, which received a lot of criticism over the handling of last year’s infamous October nor’easter, opened itself up to a question and answer session inside the Paradise Pizza Restaurant in New Britain.

“With Storm Isaac in the gulf, this is not only about how we prepare, but an opportunity for customers to learn how they can prepare,” said Mitch Gross, CL&P spokesperson.

First and foremost, it was suggested that everyone create and keep on-hand in their homes at all times, an emergency preparedness kit with necessary supplies in case the power is ever out for lengthy periods of time.

According to CL&P’s Senior Community Relations Manager Lynn Vasquez,this kit should include: one gallon of water per person, per day, a car charger, flashlight, batteries, whistle, radio, gasoline, cash, local maps, cleaning and personal hygiene products, non-perishable foods, and garbage bags.

Vasquez then outlined exactly what measures the power company takes more than a week before storms are expected to hit, up to the day before.

“Every single employee is working during the storm,” she said, going on to explain where dilemmas surfaced after the October storm, which caused,at its peak,807,228 outages in Connecticut.

“One of the issues we had prior is that customers who are medically protected thought they were priority in the storm, but they’re not going to be restoration priority. They need to have a back-up plan.”

Priorities are hospitals, police and fire departments, emergency shelters and community centers, after which the crews get to residential neighborhoods.

Senior Business Development Manager Tom Morano addressed some of the most common questions the company receives after storms, like “Why don’t I see any CL&P trucks around?”

In significant weather events,crews from across the country are called in to help in the restoration process.

These crews are also required by law to rest for ten hours upon arrival, as they may have been driving for days on end.

“We had two statewide events back-to-back – six weeks apart – and we were still catching our breath when the October storm hit,”Morano said, later adding that 14 months worth of work took place in a short 10-day period following the disaster.

Many people wonder why their next-door neighbor has power, but they don’t. Morano explained that two neighbors might be on separate electric circuits, showing a map of Newington streets, some having several different circuits.

A resident who attended the meeting suggested CL&P mail out the very same information they were presenting during the forum to customers in town.

“It would alleviate some stress.

People lose their minds during storms,” she said.

The final speaker was Ed Goldberg, who manages Northeast Utilities’ BC & DR programs, or contingency planning. Goldberg’s discussion focused on how businesses

need to prepare for disaster recovery.

“You need a plan with an allhazards approach, so when the bad day comes you can stay in business,” explained Goldberg, who revealed that 90 percent of companies that find themselves still unable to resume business operations five days after a

storm find themselves out of business within one year.

Council mulls additional tax exemption for vets

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Newington Town Council members once again discussed the possibility of an additional tax exemption for veterans at their meeting Tuesday night.

Town Assessor Steven Juda informed the group that whatever amount of money they choose to allocate needs to be decided on before Oct. 1, when the town’s Grand List has to be declared to the state.

The main issue dividing the group is whether merit or need holds more importance in who will qualify for an exemption. While low-income veterans — many in the young generation returning from recent wars — may benefit more from an exemption, the other argument is that all veterans deserve tax relief because they put their lives on the line for our country.

In April, when this year’s budget was finalized, the council budgeted $100,000 to be split equally between both veterans and the elderly — increasing the property tax savings for low-income veterans to $324 a year on average. But there are more than 2,100 veterans in town that span the entire income spectrum, and several councilors have long-supported the notion of not excluding any vets

from exemptions because of how wealthy they may be.

Councilor Jay Bottalico, a veteran himself, spoke in favor of raising the qualifying family income level from $39,500 to $64,500, increasing the amount of people benefiting from 9 to 40 percent of Newington vets, or reaching more than 800 people.

While $50,000 will be subtracted from the town’s Grand List and become effective on tax bills July 2013 per the decision in April, this new scenario would bring that number to $187,000. “In the beginning, when we started this, I think our focus was to give a greater benefit to veterans, my focus is increasing that to reach more veterans,� said Councilor Beth DelBuono.

The evening’s discussion wrapped up with the group pledging to continue the debate at meetings in September and settle on a decision together by October. “You’ve definitely given us a lot to think about,� Mayor Steve Woods said, addressing Juda, who has brought his tax calculations to several council meetings within the last year so all possibilities could be explored. “I think we all want to do more,�

Woods added, “It’s just about how; we’re taking baby steps.�

Summer reading program features cool ending

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

In a grand finale at the Newington Arena recently, Newington students celebrated the time they spent with books over the summer with an epic skating party, hosted by the Lucy Robbins Welles Library.

“It was very successful this summer,” said Children’s Librarian Michelle Royer of the Dream Big! program, which featured many educational and fun activities based around the statewide reading theme.

For only $5, approximately 50 kids came to the ice rink dressed in winter gear and spent a few hours skating before enjoying complimentary desserts provided by library staff.

At the end of the school year, librarians met with teachers to discuss which titles would be the best fit for each grade level.Once the list was released, parents begin putting them on hold quickly to make sure their kids got copies early.

Every summer there’s always several books that everyone has to get their hands on.

According to Royer, this year it was “The Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” “We just could not keep enough of it on the shelves,” she said.

This was also the case with “A Tale Dark and Grimm” and “My Life is a Book” — titles designated appropriate for kids in grades 3 through 6.

Approximately 1,200 students participated in the summer program,

which encouraged kids to read for at least 20 minutes every day, clocking their time in an online log.

Prizes were awarded to readers after a certain amount of days and the more they read, the more they won.

The program was also an opportunity for older kids to help out. Some, like Wethersfield High School junior Josh Mendelsohn, were there for 20 to 30 activities.

“I went once or twice a week,”said Mendelsohn, who most enjoyed the program’s kick-off in June: a sleepover at the library.

“Halloween got cancelled in October because of the storm so they turned the basement of the library into a haunted house; it was a lot of fun,” he remembers.

Royer’s daughter, Kimberly, has many fond memories helping out at the library since she was very young.

Now a junior in high school,her time there has a different benefit.

“I like working with the little kids,” she said during her skate. “I want to be an elementary school teacher someday so it gives me good experience.”

And Kimberly’s mom is grateful for help from a generation that’s more well-versed in the non-paper

versions of reading material.

“It’s great because the technology is second nature to them — the iPod, Wii, posting pictures,” Royer explained.

In fact this help will come in handy soon as library staff are hoping to expand their collection of new technology this year. There will be a fundraiser at Outback Steakhouse on the Berlin Turnpike Sept. 29.

For $20 per person the menu will include steak and chicken, salad, a

drink and cheesecake. Proceeds go to benefit the library’s children’s department, which is hoping to purchase a SMART Board for interactive programming opportunities.

The Lucy Robbins Welles Library is located at 95 Cedar St. For more information, visit newingtonct.gov. library.

Volunteer paramedics reach out Newington Art League STAFF WRITER

A group in town that is on call to save lives every moment — without ever asking for any financial incentive has stepped up to town officials, revealing they may need some help this coming year.

The Newington Volunteer Ambulance Corps, a nonprofit organization whose volunteers provide emergency response service to Newington from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. weekdays and 24-hours daily on weekends,operates on no town funding — simply through donations and insurance revenue.

American Medical Response, the company that has provided the town with weekday services daytime — 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for the last 13 years, is not renewing its contract with NVA, which reimburses AMR simply through insurance fees.

NVA Chief James Jennings has researched how much these supplemental ambulance services might cost and the $150,000 to $250,000 price tag is more than the group of 72 volunteers can shoulder. “We realized there are people on

the council that might not know what’s going on with us right now,�

Jennings said before giving his presentation to Town Council at their meeting Tuesday night.

He explained that while call volume at NVA headquarters (located on Lowrey Place behind Market Square) is growing exponentially, their contract with AMR not only has to go out for re-bid, but workers compensation insurance costs have soared from $3,000 to $27,000 per year. “Every time the cost goes up, now we pay $15.86 for workers comp,� explained Jennings of their predicament.

The town of Newington currently provides the NVA with no monetary assistance, simply exterior maintenance to their building and vehicle maintenance. But that may have to change in the near future, as the contract with AMR expires at the end of the year.

Whenthetown’s EMSCommittee meets Sept. 6,they will begin re-writing contracts, to be submitted to area paramedic services.

Jennings, whose full-time day job happens to be at AMR, couldn’t say

enough about the great working relationship the company’s paramedics have with the NVA. “They love Newington; they want to keep us in the worst way; they really enjoy coming to this town,� he said.

No formal decision was made this week if the town will provide funding to help the organization, but officials will discuss the possibility further in the near future.

Clarke Castelle, who serves on the Standing Insurance council subcommittee, offered to explore the prospect of NVA joining the town in its workers’ compensation policy, which would eliminate one of its biggest financial burdens.

Councilors also thanked volunteers for their service, recounting their own family emergencies when NVA came to the rescue.

For Beth DelBuono, it was one time each for both of her children. “You guys are wonderful; it doesn’t go unnoticed what you do,� she said Tuesday.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

DOT official defends CTfastrak as economic engine Opponents argue construction will obstruct businesses ASSOCIATED PRESS

Connecticut’s transportation commissioner is stepping up the state’s defense of a half-billion dollar bus-only corridor as critics say construction is wrecking neighborhoods and killing jobs in Hartford.

In an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, Commissioner James Redeker said the CTfastrak project is among the state’s biggest, but officials are not deterred.

“After more than a decade of questioning whether (CTfastrak) is real or not there’s no doubt about the fact that it’s real and that we are 1,000 percent behind delivering a project on schedule and on budget if not ahead of time and under budget if we can at all possibly do that,” he said.

Redeker, interviewed in his office at the Department of Transportation in Newington, said the state also will increase marketing.

The owner of restaurant in the path of construction in Hartford worries that the project will put him out of business. Donald Mancini, owner of Red Rock Tavern, said he attended a public hearing on Thursday to criticize plans to close the street where his restaurant is located.

He said he’d lose 30 percent to 50 percent of his business and would have to lay off workers. The busonly route also would cut through the area, splitting it into two.

“We’re not against the busway, but you’re just putting another divider between two neighborhoods,” he said.

Redeker acknowledged opposition and said the state will try to accommodate businesses that are affected by construction by installing pedestrian crossings or making traffic improvements.

“We never previously looked at a solution for an overpass or underpass or anything else because

no one asked,” he said. “Now that they’re asking, we’re responding and want to do that in an aggressive way.”

State Sen. Joe Markley, a long-

“I think the opposition is taking on a life of its own,” he said. “As it begins, people realize it’s not just a waste of money. They see what’s going on and they’re upset

Redeker said that unlike highways and bridges, the bus-only corridor is more complicated to build, involving construction on a railroad right of way and requiring new waiting stations and other components.

“This is a whole new project for the DOT,” he said. “We’re going to be aggressive in making this successful.”

about it.”

The 9.4-mile CTfastrak is a bus-only roadway built over an abandoned rail line. Construction began in May and the line is expected to open in 2014.

Officials say it will feature the speed of rail travel combined with the flexibility and direct service of a bus.

The line will connect the University of Connecticut Medical Center, Westfarms Mall, Central Connecticut State University and the Hartford and New Britain downtown districts.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and other elected officials are backing the project as a way to create construction jobs, boost economic development in central Connecticut and promote cleaner transportation.

Connecticut is spending $112 million as its share of the total, with the rest coming from federal funds. Critics say the project is too costly and will fall short of ridership projections.

State transportation officials are looking beyond construction at how to market the corridor once it opens in two years, Redeker said.

“The DOT’s changing from ‘how do we get money and justify a project to get the money?’ to ‘OK, it’s building time and besides

Study: Conn. economy weaker than experts initially believed

By STEPHEN SINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD — Connecticut’s economy is worse off than economists initially believed, choking off job creation and threatening the state’s long-term fiscal health, a University of Connecticut study said.

Insometimesstarkanddireterms, the report, “We did not know how bad it was: Connecticut’s Great

Recession: A steeper hill to climb,” which was released Wednesday, said revised federal data show that Connecticut’s economy was still shrinking as the rest of the United States was beginning to recover.

“We had known that it was fairly severe, but it was a surprise, the scale of the revision,” said Fred Carstensen, director of the Connecticut Center of Economic Analysis at the University of Connecticut.

Revised data show Connecticut’s economic output early this year was a little more than $200 billion, down 10 percent from an earlier estimate of more than $220 billion. In addition, months after the recession officially ended three years ago, Connecticut’s economic output was about $190 million, not $205 million as originally believed.

The recession, which began in December 2007 and ended in June

2009, was the longest since World War II. The recovery that has followed has been among the weakest ever.

The unemployment rate in Connecticut reached 8.1 percent in May 2009 and climbed to a high of 9.4 percent in August 2010 where it remained until December of that year. It fell to 7.7 percent last April, the lowest in three years, but jumped to 8.1 percent in June and climbed still higher last month, to

8.5 percent.

The UConn report said Connecticut has fewer jobs now than in 1988, “a generation without job creation,”it said. Combined with an aging population, the state faces threats to its long-term fiscal health as senior citizens depend on government services such as Medicare while tax revenue declines with millions gone from the labor force due to retirement or unemployment.

LIBRARY CALENDAR Continued from Page 11

ARTWORK ON DISPLAY: Throughout the month of September, Newington resident John Bower will display his artwork at the Lucy Robbins Welles Library, 95 Cedar St. Bower grew up in Elmwood and graduated from Conard High School Class of 1959. After graduation, he joined the Navy and was fortunate to visit much of the world. Bower has maintained a love/hate relationship with art ever since he acquired the art “itch.” He is grateful to have art as a regular part of his life. His advice to his fellow seniors, and to people of all ages: “Pick up an art brush” and know that “nobody can draw a straight line.”

So don’t let it stop you! The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours when the library is not being used for a regular program: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
