Organizers begin preparing for Relay for Life; volunteers sought By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
People are gearing up for Newington’s 2014 Relay for Life and volunteers are being sought out to assist in the preparations. Hundreds attend the May event in Newington and across the nation millions participate in the fundraiser, which goes to benefit the American Cancer Society. More than 250 people participated in Newington’s event last year — raising over $60,000. A total of 25 teams camped out at Mill Pond Park, taking turns walking overnight while enjoying on-site entertainment, food, games, memorial ceremonies and camaraderie.
But besides walkers, the organization needs volunteers to plan for the widely-attended occasion. They are looking for cancer survivors, caregivers, community leaders and family and friends honoring a loved one who lost their battle. These individuals can help by garnering support from the community, recruiting participants, coordinating event plans, collecting sponsors, refreshments and prizes, among other duties. “We want to start recruiting volunteers now so we can execute the best possible event for next year,” said Natalie Cullen, staff partner for Newington’s Relay for Life. The first planning committee meeting will be held at the begin-

Ghostbuster: Author to give talk on paranormal myths at library By BRIAN M. JOHNSON CORRESPONDENT
Who ya’ gonna’ call? You might start with Sydney Sherman who comes to Lucy Robbins Welles Library Oct. 7 to debunk ghost myths. Sherman will speak at 7 p.m. in the community room of the library at 95 Cedar St. In 1978, Sherman founded Connecticut Ghost Hunters to capture evidence of the spirits she said she has seen all around her since she opened her eyes. Sherman is also a medium and the author of three books: “You are not alone,” published in June, 2012; “Gifted Innocence” and the accompanying children’s book “My Gifted Innocence,” published in July this year. This will be Sherman’s second visit to the library. “Last year I did a presentation on Connecticut Ghost Hunters, as well as my first book,” she said. “The place was packed; they actually had to turn 20 people away.” Sherman said her goal is to clear up popular misconceptions about

spiritual visitations. “Our philosophy has been since day one that if the evidence you gathered or the experience you have witnessed can be caused by anything else you cannot say it is paranormal,” she said. “People are running amuck with photos of ‘ghost orbs’ that are little more than dust particles. Also, spirits are not what is portrayed in media. TV shows are always talking about spirits feeling cold but their energy is actually very warm.” Sherman said she would also discuss places in Connecticut that are purported to be haunted, and which are and which are not. “Places with real spiritual activity include the Ivory Tin Playhouse, Maxi Hall at the University of New Haven and Rockland Cemetery in Madison,” she said. “However, many legends can be proven untrue by simply going the library and researching the sites. Little People’s Village was just an old trolley line

Council updated on fate of Cedarcrest property By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: This story is a continuance from the story on page 8 of the Sept. 20, 2013 issue of the Newington Town Crier. Town Manager John Salomone cleared up confusion about the Cedarcrest Hospital property at Tuesday night’s Town Council meeting. After the 88.5-acre site was put in the Environmental Monitor by state officials early in September, questions arose on its status. While a few town councilors expressed concerns that the town might lose out on ownership of the land, which sits atop Cedar Mountain, others had qualms about the cost of environmental cleanup if the town was to acquire it. Salomone assured those in attendance Tuesday that the state’s process to evaluate the site’s market potential was lengthy and the town would be given First Right of Refusal to obtain it before any other party.
Andy Brecher, the town’s economic development director, outlined the process. The town will know in a month or so whether or not the state Department of Administrative Services will proceed with seeking an appraisal for the land. This would determine the amount of remediation needed to abolish contaminants from the grounds of the former asylum, which has served several purposes since it was built as a tuberculosis hospital in 1910. Then it would be another 30 to 60 days before a price is set, after which it would be offered to the town. The town would have 60 days to make a decision and if no offer is made, it would then be offered to outside developers. “We will have our state legislators monitor the situation because they have leverage the town may not have,” said Salomone, adding that when the site was first put up for sale last fall, a Request For Proposal was “poorly prepared” and not widely distributed, which is why it didn’t receive much
Councilor Maureen Klett pointed out that the town was awarded $2 million in grant funding to clean up the National Welding site this year, so seeking state money for the same purpose at Cedarcrest might also prove successful.
Cedarcrest Hospital, which sits abandoned on 88 acres of land atop Cedar Mountain, may be available for purchase depending on whether the State Department of Administrative Services seeks an appraisal for the land.
interest from developers. Councilor Maureen Klett pointed out that the town was awarded $2 million in grant funding to clean up the National Welding site this year, so seeking state money for the same purpose at Cedarcrest might also prove successful. “I don’t think it’s out of line to ask the state to look into abating whatever problem is there so it can be turned over to the town,” she said. Terry Borjeson again cautioned his fellow councilors that they had too little information
about the site to make any decisions at this point in time. “I’m very interested in discussing the property further in terms of the town’s 2020 plan,” said Beth DelBuono, pointing out that Newington’s interest in preserving Cedar Mountain land was documented in a plan outlining the town’s future. “It’s an important turning point for us no matter what we do,” Salomone said, adding, “Having a significant piece of property on the market doesn’t happen often for a community.”

When Agdish asked the group, “What is yoga?” an eager Kyle Burnham, 7, shot his hand into the air. “It’s when you do things that are hard or easy, and you learn things you didn’t know before,” he answered. According to his father Andy, Kyle has wanted to try yoga for a while. “He sees it on TV and I guess he did it at school today,” dad explained. “He showed me the waterfall pose on our way here.”

ries in recent years has scared parents. “The truth of the matter is, there are concussions in soccer … in other sports, too,” said Eileen. “Our equipment, training and conditioning has come a long way,” added Jeff. “They teach the kids a different way to tackle now and try to limit the amount of contact they have the week before a game.” Although registration is closed for their 2013 season, the next opportunity presents itself this November, when early bird registration opens up for next fall. Jeff and Eileen’s son is now a freshman playing football for Newington High School, but his career began with the Knights. “It’s where the kids in town start out. When they go to high school some go their own way, but about 50 to 75 percent go on to play in the high school program,” Eileen said. Because the Knights is a Pop Warner league, kids move up through the divisions by their age and weight and are required to maintain at least a 70 percent grade point average in school. Those who reach 96 or above are eligible for Pop Warner’s All-American Scholarships; Newington celebrated with five winners this year alone. “There’s a banquet, and it can also help them gain college scholarships as a senior in high school,” said Eileen. As part of the Pop Warner’s Southern Connecticut grouping, Newington plays against teams from Derby, Naugatuck, Stratford and New Haven, among others. There are four home games and four away games each season — that leaves three away and one home remaining this fall. The playoffs will be held Oct. 26 and 27. Whether

the Knights qualify or not, they will likely be held at Clem Lemire, the town’s recreational complex. “We’re expecting to host for that because our turf field is one of the best in the league and we have a full concession stand,” said Jeff.

Following loss, Indians reminded of hard road ahead
By CHRIS MCLAUGHLIN STAFF WRITER
WEST HARTFORD — While the Newington Indians came into the 2013 season with playoff aspirations, nobody said it was going to be easy. Saturday’s 20-13 loss to Conard serves as both a reminder and a wake up call for the Indians. During the game, Newington showed both why it has a shot at the playoffs, and why teams can never get complaint and commit costly mistakes. At the start of the first and third quarters, Newington looked exactly as it does on paper. Junior quarterback Jake Hedberg found receivers with ease for big gain after big gain, while Isaiah Young broke open a huge run for a touchdown. The defense got stops and takeaways, and at the start it appeared like Newington would have no troubles. Then, as the teams settled in, Conard’s defense tightened up and began batting down passes and pressuring Hedberg into illadvised throws. Before the start of the season, head coach Roy Roberts said everyone will know Young’s name, and after his breakout performance against Bacon Academy, the Chieftains took notice. Every time he touched the ball, Conard defenders were there immediately to wrap him up, many times for a loss of yards or no gain. The Indians continued to battle, but mistakes and incon-

sistency in the offense doomed Newington’s chances at a 2-0 start to the season. “Hedberg’s the best kid around, he’s the engine to our car, but we have to continue to move and get better,” Roberts said. “We need to continue to stay mentally strong and we’re going to continue to practice and work hard and we’re going to look to go 1-0 next
week.” Despite Newington’s struggles on offense, the Indians were in it until the end. While the last play on offense, a fourth-and-15 pass attempt, fell incomplete, the play showed that at any given time Newington can create offense. Hedberg rifled off a strong pass that was on target to a wideopen receiver, and if the catch was
made, it would have not only been a game-saving first down, but a touchdown as well. Even though the Indians played far from their best performance, they showed that when the offense is clicking, they will be a tough out for anybody. The loss stings, as they all do, but the Indians know they still have a lot of season left to play.
How team’s respond to defeat separates the middle-of-the-pack from the contenders, so next week’s contest against Hall will be a good indication of what Newington has. “We’re going to find out how resilient we are,” Roberts said. “We have a great group of young men with great character, and we’re going to bounce back.”
Expecting more from GOP Mayor Woods has track record of delivering results members of the Board of Education To the editor: in property values. To the editor: As I leave my position of seven years on the Newington Board of Education, I find disheartening the tactics of the present chair of the Republican Town Committee. I have worked closely with many Republicans on the board that have come and gone or are still presently serving. Knowing these individuals as I do, I am sure that they find it as disturbing as I do that as Republicans they would be associated with these tactics. I have always found these members, past and present, to be individuals that could agree to disagree while always coming together with only the students of Newington in mind. Could Mr. Forte kindly let the candidates have the limited space in our papers to tell us how their desire to serve the town will benefit us all? Please reconsider this negative path and do what’s best for everyone. Pamela Raynock Vice-Chair, Newington Board of Education
I’ve been following with interest this year’s election for Mayor in Newington. A look at the candidates shows the following: Democratic Mayor Wood’s list of accomplishments: ∎ Revival of the vacant former FoodMart shopping plaza with a new grocery store ∎ Obtaining a $2 million grant from the state to remove the vacant National Welding Company, a long-time eye sore ∎ The opening of the spectacularly successful new Bonefish Grille ∎ A new Starbucks, Chipotle, DiBella’s Deli, and Bassett furniture store replacing the decrepit former Maguires/Gentlemens Club on the Berlin Turnpike All this has been done, while maintaining reasonable property taxes, and witnessing a general increase
Beth Delbuono and fellow Republicans, on the other hand, seem to think they should be elected because Mayor Wood’s business has done some work for the town off and on through the years. This work has by all accounts been described as perfectly legal, ethical, above board, and quality in nature. This doesn’t make for a very compelling campaign platform for Republicans to run on. Mayor Woods has shown an ability to get things done. More importantly, he has done so while maintaining class and running a positive, issues oriented campaign. I enthusiastically support Democratic Mayor Steve Woods and the entire slate of Democrats for a second term as Mayor of Newington. Neil J. Ryan Newington
