Boy Scout Troop 355 kayaks, treks and learns on Kenai Peninsula trip
By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Somehow in this fast-paced, technology-dependent world, Newington Boy Scouts still find time to be Boy Scouts. Troop 355 goes hiking and camping monthly, even in the snow. As Scoutmaster Roger Stamm would put it, “There’s no such thing as bad weather — only inappropriate clothing.” A handful of volunteers and 32 of the 43 boys in the troop Volume 52, No. 50

just returned this August from spending two weeks on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Biennial High Adventure Trips challenge the Scout values they’ve learned — not just survival skills, but also teamwork and cooperation. While hiking the Resurrection Trail, the boys carred their food and clothes on their backs. While trekking and sea kayaking, they were witness to bald eagles, salmon and moose. In the past Troop 355’s adventures have taken them to Yellowstone, Yosemite, the North Cascades and Glacier National Park. In order to go the boys have to be at least 14 years old See TROOP 355, Page 2

Newington businesses ‘paint the town pink’ Month-long fundraising initiative to benefit Team Towanda By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
The business community of Newington, Rocky Hill, New Britain, Berlin and West Hartford partied in pink Tuesday evening at Raymour & Flanigan on the Berlin Turnpike.
The occasion kicked off the Newington Chamber of Commerce’s “Pinktober” — a fundraising initiative to benefit the locally founded breast cancer prevention charity Team Towanda. Chamber President Terry Gogluicci even arrived
Tuesday evening with her hair dyed a tasteful pink hue to celebrate the efforts. “I figured this would be a good way to kick off the month,” she said with a smile. Newington is “painting the See PINKTOBER, Page 4

and have reached the Scout rank of first class. “I truly enjoy working with the boys, especially going camping and hiking — without the Boy Scouts I feel I wouldn’t find a way to work that into my calendar,” added Stamm, whose son Gregory, 16, is the youngest of three who have been in the Troop. Stamm has been involved
since his oldest joined at age 11. He took on the lead role as Scoutmaster this summer when Tom Kelley, who led the Troop for the last 35 years, passed away. “Tom was a great Scoutmaster; we really miss him,” said Assistant Scoutmaster Rich Schumacher, whose story is similar to Stamm’s. He’s been with the troop for 16 years — long enough to help his sons Chris, Paul and Dan achieve the Eagle Scout rank.

Mike, his youngest, is a senior at Newington High School and now in the process of earning his own Eagle Scout badge. “He’s going to be refurbishing a trail at Churchill Park that’s really overgrown,” Schumacher said. “They’ll be trimming back the trail, putting down wood chips and they may put some benches down.” Two others in Troop 355 are also working towards Eagle — Jared Therrian and Josh Mendelsohn.

Pinktober fundraising events to benefit Team Towanda Continued from Page 1
town pink” with downtown businesses participating in a window decorating contest to raise awareness and offering specials to benefit the charity. The woman who dreamed up the idea for Pinktober is Christine Vogel, home furnishings consultant at Raymour & Flanigan and a member of the Chamber’s Board of Directors. To describe her passion she recited a story her parents told her when she was a child, about the power of taking small steps to inspire others to incite positive change in the world. More than 100 Chamber members listened while enjoying appetizers and a wine tasting. Later Newington Mainstage performers delighted them with songs from some of their favorite productions. When their show “Grey Gardens” opens Friday and Saturday evening at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., the Mainstage will donate half of ticket sales to Team Towanda. “We’re really excited Team Towanda will run our bake sale, so if you get anything to snack
on during intermission they’ll get 100 percent of the proceeds,” said Cindy Lesser, producer. With a pink streak in her hair her daughter Lauren Lesser, 11, performed “It’s Possible” from the show “Seussical.” People also had the chance to meet with Team Towanda volunteers, most of whom are close friends of founder Judith Melchreit. After experiencing their unconditional support while she endured treatment for breast cancer more than a decade ago, Melchreit started the foundation to help the region’s underserved and uninsured women gain access to breast health services. Since then, Team Towanda has donated upwards of $300,000 to the cause by selling two cookbooks containing recipes for the many meals Melchreit’s support group brought her during that time. “It’s just girlfriends helping girlfriends,” said Debbie Garten, a founding member. Both books were for sale during Tuesday’s event and are also available at TeamTowanda.org. “It’s really extraordinary how
many different people have come together for this,” Melchreit said before Allison Caxide, her longtime friend and current Team Towanda president, addressed the crowd, thanking everyone for their participation. She also told them, “If you know someone in need of a mammogram who doesn’t have insurance they can contact Team Towanda.” Several people had questions about how Oct. 1 enrollment for the Affordable Care Act — better known as Obamacare — might affect the charity’s efforts. “There will always be uninsured women,” Caxide said. “We hope this will help there be fewer, but we know in reality there will always be women in need of our services.” Vogel confirmed Tuesday that October 2014 will also be pink, as the Chamber has agreed to a second annual event to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Senior Center roof construction begins after Town Council awards contract The Town Council awarded MDM Engineering of Thompson a contract to make improvements to the Senior & Disabled Center at its last meeting, and construction began this week. The center’s leaky roof will be replaced in the next six weeks, before winter weather sets in. In addition, a canopy will be constructed over the building’s main entrance. Of the three companies that submitted bids, MDM was the only one within the project’s budget constraints at $700,500. Imperial Company Inc. of Cromwell, one of the two losing bidders, protested the decision, but town officials dismissed its reasoning. In their letter they claimed that the company did not have general contracting certification with the Department of Administrative Services. “MDM Engineering have not maintained nor have the licensing or experience for a project of this magnitude,” the town official wrote. However, MDM is certified with DAS — as a roofer. According to Councilor Clarke Castelle, chairman of the project
building committee overseeing the project, the company is qualified to replace the roof, and has hired subcontractor A. Secondino & Son to complete the other work. “I have a list of 23 completed jobs and two current projects they’re working on and I have the architect’s assurances they have worked well with MDM on roofing projects in the last 10 years,” he said Wednesday. Back in August councilors approved final building plans voted on by the sub-committee and at their last meeting they waived the rules to vote on the application, approving it unanimously. “The committee was very pleased with the design,” said Castelle. “Most importantly we have an entrance canopy that suits our needs and meets the requirements we thought were essential.” In addition to a new roof seniors will benefit from a portecochère, French for coach-door. It’s essentially a canopy over the main entrance and one that residents who frequent the center began raising the funds for nearly a decade ago. The $15,000 they collected will be added to the budget, with the remaining cost covered by the town’s Capital Improvements

A Walmart customer was robbed at gunpoint Saturday at 6:53 p.m. in the parking lot of the 3164 Berlin Turnpike store. The female victim said she was walking to her vehicle after shopping and was accompanied by two family members, another adult female and a juvenile male, police said. As she approached the door of her vehicle a Hispanic male approached her, pointed a handgun at her and demanded she turn over her purse. The victim gave the suspect her purse and the suspect fled on foot. No one was injured during the robbery, police said. A K-9 team from the Connecticut State Police arrived to assist the local police Alicea-Rodriguez and tracked the suspect to the Grantmoor Motor Lodge on Berlin Turnpike. The suspect was found in a room at the motel and taken into custody without incident, police reported. The weapon and all of the victim’s belongings were recovered. Luis Alicea-Rodriguez, 20, who resided at the Grantmoor Motor Lodge, was hit with five charges — robbery in the first degree, sixth-degree larceny, risk of injury to a minor, breach of peace and brandishing a facsimile firearm. He was detained on a $75,000 bond. Alicea-Rodriguez appeared in New Britain Superior Court Monday.

Fund. At their meeting, Senior Center Director Dianne Stone thanked the council on behalf of the 2,000 people that use the center, including those who made donations for the porte-cochère who are finally seeing their dream come to be. Improving safety was the main goal of the project, and the addition of a heated walkway, curb cuts and a handrail will reduce the frequency and severity of slips and falls. In addition, Dial-ARide buses will be able to drive underneath the canopy so seniors can enter and exit the center without taking a single step on slippery pavement. “I’m very pleased with the design; it’s much more than we envisioned, it’s going to be beautiful,” said Myra Cohen, who sits on the sub-committee and is council liaison to the Committee on the Aging and Disabled.

Shriners holding potluck fundraiser to help restore clock By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Sphinx Temple Shriners from across Connecticut are renewing their Shrine headquarters, which happens to be located in Newington. The fraternal organization is best known for their Motor Patrol — miniature, hand-built cars that are seen in nearly every parade, as well as the Shriners Hospitals for Children. More than 1,000 members meet at the Newington temple, where a potluck dinner is being held this Saturday to raise money for a special project they have undertaken. High Priest and Prophet David Herbert, a Terryville resident, is spearheading the restoration of an antique grandfather clock circa 1900. It was donated decades ago by the Waterbury Shriners, now known as the Sphinx Kaaabans Shrine Club of Plymouth. The piece, known as a Model 78 Hall Clock, has sat in the Shriners’ banquet hall for decades and has fallen into disrepair.
Now Mel Brown, owner of Old Time Clock Repairs and Restorations in Burlington and a volunteer at the American Clock & Watch Museum in Bristol, is restoring it. But it’s an expensive feat, so the Shriners are holding the potluck fundraiser to help. “We have a beautiful clock that is a wonderful asset to the organization but it’s in pretty bad shape,” said Herbert. “When everything is shiny and works properly, it will be the focal point of the banquet hall.” The clock will be delivered to the hall and presented to the public on Columbus Day, Oct. 16. That same day the Shriners will rededicate a life-size statue of a Shriner and child they call “the editorial without words.” A universally recognized image of the Shriners, it represents the fraternity’s rich history and tradition in philanthropy. The statue was recently moved to a new location on temple premises. There is now a garden, benches and a brick wall around it and they’re inviting
the public to purchase bricks in memory of a loved one. The labor and materials for this project were donated by Past President Samuel Frink. The rededication ceremony will be conducted by an officer of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Connecticut and Master of Ceremonies will be Sphinx Potenate (President) Howard Northrop Jr. The public is invited to this event, and encouraged to attend the Sphinx Shriners Potluck Dinner this Saturday at 6 p.m. The entrance to the Sphinx Shrine is at 197 Deming St., off of the Berlin Turnpike. The 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children, including those in Springfield and Boston, provide pediatric care specializing in burns, spinal cord injuries, orthopedics and cleft lip and palate disabilities, all without financial obligation to families. Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 225-4601, ext. 210, or eschmitt@newbritainherald.com.

OPINION
NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER
A tsunami of negativism Positive change under Steve Woods’ leadership preservation of Newington’s lim- under Steve’s leadership, and there is sweeping through our town To the Editor: ited remaining open space. are many more. To the Editor:
This letter was originally written on Oct. 30, 2012; however, it was never submitted for publication. Unfortunately, with some minor revisions, the subject of the letter holds true today, less than a year later. It appears that the campaigning begins earlier and earlier and the attacks never end. Anyone who has been watching has seen the extraordinary level of negativity that has already characterized this year’s election campaign. It would appear the only thing positive that can be taken from this travesty is to learn by bad example how not to run a campaign. What lessons will our students in political science classes learn? Why would any of them aspire to run for public office after seeing the actions of certain individuals at Town Council meetings over the past several months? We have become accustomed
to the negativism and personal attacks at the federal and state levels, and now, unfortunately, that type of campaigning has turned into a tsunami sweeping over the Town of Newington. Not only has campaign money been spent, but now our tax dollars have been used to investigate “rumors and innuendos.” Couldn’t these monies, these tax dollars, be put to better use? In my opinion, reprehensible personal attacks have no place in our town. We are all neighbors; we see each other at our children’s school and sporting events, concerts, the grocery store and at our respective places of worship. Can the negativity, personal attacks and disrespect end? Yes, but only if those involved are willing to sit back, take stock and realize that working together will be better for the town than feeding their own egos. Mady Kenny Newington

To The ciTizens of newingTon
Newington’s Republican Party leadership apparently is so obsessed with taking control of the town’s government that it’s willing to go to any extreme, even if that means smearing the name of a respected citizen by making malicious and libelous accusations against him. Republican Town Chairman Neil Forte has asked that Mayor Stephen Woods, a Democrat and co-owner of Newington-based Stonehedge Landscaping and Garden Center, be investigated by the office of the Chief State’s Attorney because of work that has been performed by him and his company. Further, GOP Town Councilor John Battalico concedes that he began questioning Stonehedge’s work in Newington nearly a year ago, but he denies that making public the investigation request at this time – approximately eight weeks before a municipal election – has anything to do with politics. He must think the residents of Newington are really dumb. Never mind that Stephen Woods has taken thousands of hours of time away from his family and business over more than a decade to donate that time to growing the town’s school system into one of the best in Connecticut and enhancing the reputation of the town into one of the most desirable in the state in which to live, work, and raise a family. Never mind that when Stonehedge undertakes work in any community, including Newington, it makes sure to adhere to all laws and regulations regarding submission and award of bids. Never mind that, in the case of two projects that are especially worrisome to Republican leaders – playground mulch and reconstruction of a wall – Stonehedge offered the lowest price among all bidders. Never mind that Stonehedge has been and continues to be one of the most responsive and caring corporate citizens of Newington, having donated 2,200 square feet of pavers for the Newington high School courtyard, donated an oak tree in memory of Coach Hastings to the High School, and donated all the design work, much of the materials, and all of the labor to build the Cherish Our Children Memorial Garden on town-owned property at the West Meadow Cemetery – all at no cost to the town. It’s one thing to vigorously argue with your political opponents over issues. It’s quite another to stoop to a vicious, baseless personal attack on a respected townsman with a distinguished record of public service. But then, what else would you expect from politicians who feel they must resort to such tactics when they don’t have any real issues to talk about. Surely, Newington voters will consider these shameful tactics when they go to the polls on November 5th and will choose to support the record of progress and service that Democratic incumbent mayor Stephen Woods brings to the table. ***Please note - Mayor Woods was contacted by the State Attorney’s office on 09-18-13. The allegations were found false and the investigation has been closed. Diana Serra Newington
I am pleased to offer my sincere support of Steve Woods for reelection as Mayor of Newington. Steve is a trustworthy person who has always put the needs of Newington first. He truly cares about the people in our community and has worked to serve us for many years — first as a member of the Board of Education and in the last two years as our mayor. Steve has a proven history of support for responsible budgeting, open and accessible government, strong schools, smart economic development, and the
Over the last two years due to Steve’s hard work, Newington once again will enjoy a grocery store in the long abandoned “Food Mart Plaza,” something we have all wanted for years to help bring back our center. In addition, economic opportunities for future business and ultimately tax relief for our residents are now becoming a reality due to Steve’s work with our state delegation to obtain a $2 million grant for the clean-up of the National Welding property. These are only two examples of positive change that has occurred
Steve values the opinion of all people, no matter what political party, and will truly listen to both the public and his colleagues. He is an honest, intelligent and thoughtful man who has both the experience and respect for others that we as a community continue to need. For positive, honest leadership, please support Steve Woods and the entire Democratic slate on Election Day. Thank you! Sandy Nafis Newington
Former council member supports Myra Cohen To the Editor:
I’m writing this letter in support of Myra Cohen who is running for reelection to the Newington Town Council. She has the experience, knowledge, commitment and dedication and always has the town’s best interest.
I’ve known Myra for over 10 years and had the pleasure of serving two terms with her on the Town Council. She was my mentor and I admire and respect her love of public service. Even though I no longer reside in Newington, but work in Newington, I felt it was my responsibility to write this
endorsement on behalf of Myra Cohen. I urge the residents of Newington to vote on Nov. 5 for Myra Cohen. She is worthy of another term on the Town Council. Val Ginn Wethersfield

business has boomed since. It’s not something beauty students can obtain a license for,. Rather, it’s a South Asian technique passed on from one generation to another. Thin, twisted cotton threads are knotted and precisely rolled over untidy hairlines, removing unwanted hairs at their root. “She was the first in Connecticut to introduce this technique,” Shiva said of his wife. Staff also does Henna body art, facials and other all-natural beauty services. “We’re thinking of adding more services in the Market Square location because it’s a bigger space,” Shiva said Wednesday. The couple lives in West Hartford with their 11-year-old son Gaurav and 15-month-old daughter Grishma, where they also opened a salon. Their brand, GBS Browz, represents the whole family — G is for the kids, B, Binda and S, Shiva. “It’s good to stay local; be part of the community,” he added. GBS Browz at 1020 Main St., can be reached at (860) 667-0633. GBS Browz at 130 Market Square can be reached at (860) 372-4768. Open seven days a week.
A unique skill a local woman learned in her native country of Nepal is now being offered to the Newington community. When Binda Neupane first came to the United States in 2001, she never imagined that more than a decade later she and her husband, Shiva Neupane, would own seven businesses. But the couple just opened two salons in Newington — one at 1020 Main Street and the other, at 130 Market Square. The storefronts join five others across Connecticut and Massachusetts. The Neupanes and their staff all hail from Nepal and India and specialize in eyebrow threading, a hair removal technique that’s a chemical-free, painless alternative to waxing. “With waxing you use chemicals; threading is just cotton thread — it’s not going to burn or cut the skin; it’s more natural,” said Binda, who was astounded by the practice when she first witnessed it in a salon in Nepal. “I was so curious; after that I went to buy the cotton thread to practice.” When she and Shiva moved to Connecticut, the technique Erica Schmitt can be reached at was just being introduced to the (860) 225-4601, ext. 210, or esAmerican market. They opened a chmitt@newbritainherald.com. kiosk in a mall in Trumbull and
