Letter: Ensuring that the town’s interests are well-represented To the Editor:
I have served as an elected official in Newington for the last 15 years, and for the past three years as the Chairperson of the Newington Board of Education. During this time, I’ve come to appreciate just how vital a role our state representative plays in securing funding and maintaining interest at the state level for projects, both educational and municipal, that effect our town. Carol Anest is a woman who will bring intelligence, leadership and governmental experience to the office of state representative. As a member of
the Town Planning and Zoning Commission, former member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and former member of the Board of Education, Carol understands the workings of local government. With many contacts at the state level, Carol will be able to ensure that Newington’s interests are well-represented at the maze that is the state Capitol. Please join me in supporting Carol Anest as our next state representative on Nov. 4. Dr. Marc B. Finkelstein Newington

Letter: Recent political ads are manipulating voters To the Editor:
I think people know that paid political advertisements frequently use political buzz words or phrases that are meant to persuade voters to support them. That’s okay if the information is factual, but when it is not, it is nothing short of an attempt to manipulate the voter into thinking someone is something they really aren’t. Case in point is Carol Anest’s recent ad to the newspaper. If she is such the “respected and experienced leader” her ad suggested, why did she fail to mention that she has been Chairwoman of the Democratic Party for the last seven years? As her party’s leader, she has had plenty of time to ensure that the candi-
dates she has supported ensure equitable tax policy and be champions for business growth, more of her campaign promises. Since this has not happened under her leadership, I would suggest her advertisement is nothing short of the latter. Why should anyone believe after seven years of leading a political party that has failed that she now would succeed at making things happen? Furthermore, she had the power and ability to weigh in on the Mill Pond Park referendum and didn’t. Instead her party’s elected officials held a special referendum that cost the citizens over $33,000. A real leader would not have let this happen. If Carol Anest can’t read the pulse of the community, what can you expect if she is elected

He may not have not have the two years of elected experience on the Newington Board of Education (1989 to 1991) that Carol Anest has had and may not have been a political boss for the last seven years; however, he has been listening to you and your concerns for years as a volunteer for Newington Community Television, employs 14 people as a local small business owner and grew up in Newington.

Fire department educates public on fire safety By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Three-year-old Pablo Abdou walked across the street Tuesday night and had the chance to see what it’s like to be a firefighter. Joined by his brothers Santiago, 8, and Joey, 11, Pablo took part in the Newington Volunteer Fire Department’s Annual Open House for Fire Prevention Week. “For the past month he’s been ready to be a firefighter for Halloween,” Michael Abdou, Pablo’s father, said with a laugh. The family lives right across Main Street from the department’s Co. 1 headquarters, which made it easy to join in the fun. After climbing up into the fire engines with the help of Asst. Chief Thomas Lapierre, kids and their parents toured the firehouse collecting safety tips and meeting their hometown heroes. Lapierre’s 8-year-old daughter Jackie calls dad her “number-one hero.” “I’m really proud because he’s Assistant Chief, which basically no one else is,” she said Tuesday, in between chatting with Fire Chief Chris Schroeder.
“He’s the only one,” the Chief agreed. “I’ve been here many, many times — in the places other people don’t get to see,” added Jackie, who said she wants to be a teacher when she grows up, like her mom. Hydraulic fire rescue equipment sat resting on a yellow tarp for people to see before they explored a fire safety trailer. Common household cleaning agents were on a table inside the firehouse, where Paul Tesz, captain of Hazmat, informed people of the hidden dangers that exist under the kitchen sink. Just last year, the department got a 1 a.m. call from a babysitter who had put ammonia and drain cleaner down a sink to unclog it, accidentally brewing a dangerous concoction. “You really have to step back and know what you’re mixing, the right quantities, what can cause a bad reaction,” Tesz said. There was also a 911 simulator for kids to try out, replicating the experience they might have during an emergency call. A wall and window mount even provided a fun place to practice a safe home escape. But the highlight of the evening for

many was a live fire demonstration performed by Lt. Meghan Manke. A small trash fire was started inside a wooden box with clear side panels — about the same size as a phone booth. The crowd watched as the smoke thickened and Manke — in full protective gear — faded from sight. Kids were all ears as firefighters explained how in a smoky room the clean oxygen is closer to the floor, and the worst stuff to inhale, at the ceiling. “That’s why we cut a hole in the roof.
It’s like taking the lid off a pan,” one pointed out. Safety preparedness was at the heart of all the exercises at Tuesday’s open house. “It’s all about public education,” Chief Schroeder explained. “We just want to make people aware of fire dangers and how to establish an evacuation plan for their home.” Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 225-4601, ext. 210, or eschmitt@newbritainherald.com.

Joseph Keough pointed out to the crowd that many religions throughout the world use beads in one form or another for the repetition of prayer. “The rosary is studied as part of the religion classes, and occasionally teachers will pray the rosary with their classes,” Joan Tortora, director of admissions and advancement, added. For the remainder of this month the children will join in praying a portion of the rosary when they arrive at school each day. “St. Mary School continues to be an educational option for children from Pre-K-3 through grade 8, despite rumors to the contrary,” Principal Marge McDonald said, adding, “The school is going strong and, although there is always room for more, enrollment was strong enough to necessitate the opening of an additional Pre-K class this year.” St. Mary School is located at 652 Willard Ave., Newington. (860) 666-3844.
NEWINGTON — Students of St. Mary School are making the rosary come alive. The Catholic Church designates the month of October to praying the rosary, a set of prayer beads that is used to celebrate events in the life of Jesus Christ. Families and faculty joined the student body recently to honor this in a special ceremony they call “The Living Rosary.” Those in grades 1 through 8 came forward individually with lit votive candles representing beads on the rosary, and led the entire group in prayer. Each candle was placed on a design of paper plates, straws and string emulating the rosary. This design was created by teacher Lori Oleasz, who has always felt a special connection to Mary, the school’s patron saint, and the rosary. “Especially for the Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, students were asked to say a decade or more of the Rosary at home the Erica Schmitt can be reached at evening prior,” Oleasz said.

Letter: Sadlosky supports Gary Byron To the Editor: It is with great confidence to publicly support such a fine gentleman and candidate as Mr. Gary Byron for state Representative here in Newington. Mr. Byron is an ethical, “fiscally conservative,” individual who will bring “common sense” representation back to the people here in our town. The recent passage of reckless legislations and horrific spending by the current state legislators on the busway angers most taxpayers. Voters, We must wake up and change courses in our voting habits. We must stop pulling the party lever, which has created fiscal chaos, the highest tax increase ever in Connecticut, growing unemployment and a steady flow of good

Letter: Reconsider the changes to Newington health resources To the Editor: This letter is in reference to the closing of the Newington Diagnostic Center, located in Newington, on Friday, June 27, 2014. This facility was located at 66 Cedar St. in the heart of Newington and was accessible to all. The Diagnostic Center has been in town for at least 25 years and began with drawing blood, urine sampling and eventually EKG’s and some very basic X-rays. Over the course of time, it enlarged their rental space and enriched its services to include blood drawing, urine collection, regular X-rays, mammograms,
bone density testing, ultrasounds, and lastly echocardiograms. I remember when Newington Diagnostic even had mobile units in their parking lots doing some of these studies. A few years back, the THOCC merged with Hartford HealthCare (parent company of Hartford Hospital). I read that this merger was going to help the HCC become more efficient and that it would basically keep all services intact. I have no problem with the change to Clinical Lab Partners, but I am very disappointed that the decision was made to eliminate ALL the imaging studies previously done at Newington
Diagnostic Center. I was told by a technician that they had too few patients daily to be profitable enough. What happened to the theory of providing a community service to Newington residents by a not-for-profit hospital? This change in diagnostic services is a blow to Newington residents and especially to Newington senior citizens. In order to get an X-ray or any other study, I must go to New Britain, Southington, West Hartford or Wethersfield. This is inconvenient and a disservice to our town of Newington residents. Many senior citizens depend on others to drive them or drive only in town. This presents another reason why this
change is not sitting well with townspeople. It has come to my attention that Newington is not the only town where services were cut. Services were cut in Southington while a new primary care facility is being built in Bristol. Also, the successful Bariatric Surgery Program was recently moved to MidState in Meriden from New Britain! So many changes! Southington is fighting to keep their hospital open — the census is low I was told, but the administrators eliminated the ICU, surgery, and the wound clinic. That speaks for itself ! Most importantly, a major change is that the THOCC
Letter: Byron is the best fit Letter: Big thanks for the To the Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to give my support for Gary Byron. Recently, I was a part of a group of individuals that worked to help preserve Mill Pond Park and oppose the referendum. While working with this group of people, I got to know Gary Byron. The group was made up of Republicans, Democrats, adults, children and even some former town members. Gary worked to bond with all of the members and helped to get the message out. He asked folks about their lives in Newington with sincere interest. I feel that his deep care for Newington and its citizens make

him a remarkable candidate for state Representative. It seems that whenever I am at a town event, Gary is there with a smile on his face and ready to speak with anyone who is willing to share their “Newington story.” His work with CTV for the past decade also adds to his credibility and desire to better our town. I believe that he has the best interests of the town at heart and look forward to continuing to support him throughout this campaign. I urge all Newington citizens to come out on Nov 4 and vote for the man best fit for representing our dear town.
To the Editor:
The Newington High Music Boosters would like to publicly thank the Town Board of Education, school administrators and all involved parties for the work being done in the school’s Music Wing. The redesign of the Band/ Orchestra Room has made for a much more flexible, efficient and safe facility, which is now more conducive to teaching large ensembles. Extra equipment and garment storage will allow for improved musical, choral, and drama productions. Windows in the classrooms created a more energetic space. Extra storage made for an easier time preparing musicians to play at the opening football game and will provide year-round benefits for the music,

Administrator was replaced by an individual who was the former Administrator at MidState and now oversees all three sites. I thought there would be minor changes with the merger, but these changes are much bigger those anticipated by most individuals. I ask that Hartford HealthCare reconsider the changes here in Newington and focus on community needs and services in this locale. People are used to being able to access these services locally. We need X-rays and mammograms and echocardiograms and bone density here in Newington! Linda J. Thompson Newington

abandoned exotic pets. “If you’re bringing a life into yours, you have to be prepared to make a commitment,” said Evers, who travels the state raising awareness about the importance of respecting all living things. The organization cares for close to 150 exotic and endangered animals who were originally taken as pets but relinquished when they became too difficult for their owners to keep. Evers refers to them as his “ambassadors.” “We have them to help people appreciate the diversity of life and our obligation to not only animals, but also our family, the community and, at the end of the day, the earth,” he said. Ambassadors from the Connecticut Humane Society came to spread the word about the work they do with more commonly-rescued pets. Laurie Boske, one of these ambassadors, brought her dog Gizmo, which she adopted from
the organization. “We’re here to show all the wonderful things the Humane Society has to offer,” Boske said. “Right now they have a lot of kittens who need new homes, and they’ve been getting a lot of puppies recently, too,” she added. Shepard Meadows Therapeutic Riding Center of Bristol also had a booth. As people walked to the church’s backyard on Maple Hill Avenue, they were greeted by Boy Scouts from Troop 316, who were selling homemade bird feeders. Pine cones slathered with peanut butter and sprinkled with bird seed, the feeders will also be sold at Newington polling stations on Election Day, Nov. 4. “It’s going to start getting cold before we know it, so we want all the birds to be fed,” said Assistant Scoutmaster Carol Grem.

Electrical Connection, Inc. and Air Temp Residential Heating & Cooling are raising money for breast cancer research through October.
Local company raising money for breast cancer
By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — An electrician wearing a pink shirt can brighten a home and someone’s day. Especially those representing Electrical Connection Inc., a Newington company whose staff is helping to raise funds for breast cancer research this month. The 55 technicians at Electrical Connection (E-Conn) and its partner company, Air Temp Residential Heating & Cooling, were recently presented with two pink T-shirts with the company’s logo, a pink ribbon and the words, “Big or small, save them all.” Through October — each day an employee arrives at work sporting their shirt — E-Conn will donate $10 to the American Cancer Society in their name, and another $10 in the company’s name. Deborah King, company president, came up with the idea last year and happily discovered everyone was excited to partic-

ipate. “The guys loved it,” she said. “They said they wanted to wear their shirts more often but they only had one, so that’s why we bought them a second this year.” Funds raised last October were donated to the Connecticut affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and this year their goal is to raise $5,000 for the American Cancer Society. The cause is close to King’s heart, since her older sister is a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed 13 years ago at the age of 35. Now, King has mammograms regularly and encourages other women to do so, too. “These guys working for us have daughters, mothers, grandmothers, wives,” she said. “It’s very important and we’re glad they’re really into it.” Fun company events happen on
a regular basis at E-Conn, which took its staff on an adventure trip to Maine over the summer. “We’re really like a family here,” King said. “We have to work to support our families; we might as well have fun while we’re doing it.” Now through October, the company will donate 10 percent of sales from service calls during which customers mention their breast cancer awareness fundraiser. C a l l Electrical Connection, Inc., 36 Holland Drive, Newington, at (860) 266-1716. Call Air Temp Residential Heating & Cooling, 36 Holland Drive, Suite B, Newington, at (860) 436-6147.
This year, E-Conn’s goal is to raise $5,000 for the American Cancer Society.

The Town of Newington has to make an important decision, as we have to elect a new state Representative. We need someone who will voice our concerns and represent all Newington residents.

Carol is a staunch supporter of the Newington 2020 plan, and was opposed to the busway (CTfastrak). Carol grew up in town and has been involved in

SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER
NEWINGTON — As you walk down the purple-carpeted Wing 5 at John Wallace Middle School, you come across Room 501 with its sparkling tile floor and the smiling face of art teacher Amanda Ragos in her new art room. Just opening on Sept. 30, the new art room is already in use by middle school art students who are now able to take advantage of the many new features the room offers. First and foremost, the room is equipped with a Smart Board that was not available in the previous art room. As Ragos states, “the updatAMANDA RAGOS ed technology is the Art teacher best part of the new room because I can now show my students techniques and examples through the Smart Board and its various features.” Additional features in the new room include a cloud ceiling and sky tube

lighting. The cloud ceiling reflects contemporary design and sets an artistic mood, while the sky tube lighting lets natural light in on sunny days. Ragos looks forward to taking advantage of the new lights by teaching her students different ways to use natural light in their art. As the goal of Newington Public Schools is to ensure every student is college, career and citizenship ready, the new art room allows students to expand their learning with the updated technology and new features. Next year, Ragos also looks forward to the digital art and music lab that will be built across the hall and will afford students many new opportunities to explore and expand their artistic talent.

OPINION
NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER
Letter: Getting to know Carol Anest, the person To the Editor:
I am supporting Carol Anest in the upcoming election to become Newington’s next state Representative. I have known Carol for decades, seeing as we grew up on the same street. I know her parents and her sister, too, even though I am several years older than the Anest girls. Carol’s parents and sister are solid citizens. They are honest, hardworking and decent people. Mr. and Mrs. Anest have lived in Newington for many, many years as has my mother. In fact, they still live on the same street where Carol and I were raised. I came in contact with Carol in adulthood when I was elected as a Newington Town Councilor for six years. She is an efficient organizer and made sure campaigns ran fairly and honestly. Her energy level is remarkable, and she never once asked me to sway or change a vote that I felt was beneficial to the whole town of Newington. Being a wife, mother and career woman, she has little time for extra responsibilities.
And yet, Carol worked tirelessly behind the scenes to get the needed tasks completed. She has the love and support of her husband John and family as well. At this time, Carol is taking a leap from the background work into the forefront to fill the very large vacancy created by Sandy Nafis’ “retirement” from state government. I have no doubt that Carol’s willingness to take on this important role is solely for the good of the people of Newington. She has no other personal or ulterior motive. She has received many awards for her hard work, both personally and professionally. Others have listed her many accomplishments and involvements in previous letters of support. I just wanted to talk about Carol, the person, and why I believe she has earned the privilege of representing you, me, and all the citizens of Newington in Hartford for the next legislative term. I will be voting for Carol Anest on Nov. 4, and I hope you will as well.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER
Letter: Byron is the leader we need Letter: A good difference To the Editor:
In the upcoming election for state Representative, I whole-heartedly support Gary Byron. He will bring a new perspective on a failing system, and new ideas when we need them the most. When I attended the rally to save Mill Pond Park, Gary was standing next to me doing all he could to save our park. Additionally, he has public-
ly opposed high-density housing near the busway that would drain our services and educational system. Gary’s opponent has been entrenched in the “business as usual” philosophy for many years, just towing the party line. Gary is an independent thinker who listens to those around him and forms logical and thoughtful opinions about the issues that most affect
Newington. As a small business owner, he understands the economic problems that face us all. Gary is the strong, open-minded and independent thinker that we NEED as our leader at the state Capitol. He cares about us and about Newington. Please vote for Gary on Tuesday, Nov. 4. Beth A. DelBuono Newington
for the community To the Editor:
I just want to let you now that I have known Gary Byron for a long time, and he will be really good for the community. He is a very knowledgeable, smart, intelligent
person; I watched his program “Common Sense Connecticut,” and he is good on TV. I will vote for him, and I know that he would make the best difference for us. Mila Novak Newington

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER
Indians can’t waste time looking at past By CHRIS MCLAUGHLIN STAFF WRITER
NEWINGTON — After going 2-0 for the first time since 2007, the Newington Indians responded by dropping their next two games. Now at 2-2, the Indians are at a critical turning point in the season with no margin for error. “It doesn’t get any easier from here,” head coach Eric Hennessy said. “We have Glastonbury next, and from what I’ve seen they’re very similar to Hall. We played well against Hall, but we made those mistakes. We need to continue to get better and realize there’s a lot of season left.” Mistakes on the offensive end have been an issue the past few games, however, even in the losses Newington has had chances to win the game. A break here or there and Newington could be sitting at 4-0 instead of .500. Against Manchester, Newington had multiple shots at the end to retake the lead, but if there was no penalty on Kyle Armour’s punt return — a
penalty that had no effect on the return — the remainder of the fourth quarter would have been completely different. Despite losing by one possession, Newington’s offense did not have a good game. The Indians showed flashes of the offense they’re capable of playing, but went three-and-out, or were backed up by penalties far too many times. During the past two games, the Newington offense has faltered in nearly all facets. While the Indians had more success later in the contest on Thursday, Newington has been unable to establish the run game. Andrew Grenier, typically a wide receiver, led the team in rushing yards with 40. The ground game struggled, and the passing attack didn’t fare much better. Outside of a six-play, 74-yard drive in the third quarter, Newington’s offense couldn’t mount much of anything. The struggles are a concern, but there is far too much talent for Newington to have scored just 16 points in the last two games.
“All our goals are still out there for us to accomplish, we just have to make sure we rebound,” Hennessy said. Hennessy said following the game, the offense needs to start producing, and with the way the defense has been playing, once the offense starts converting, Newington will be a dangerous team. The Indians have typically been known more for their offense in recent years, but in 2014, Newington has been all defense. The Indians have yet to give up more than 20 points in a game this season, something they did twice at this point last year, including over 40 to Hall. Led by the captains, the Newington defense did all it could to keep the team in the game on Thursday. Grenier had a huge game on the defensive line, sacking Junior Vasquez twice, while the pressure he applied forced Vasquez to throw the ball away on multiple occasions. “Andrew is one of the most underlooked players on the team,”
Mike Orazzi | Staff
Newington’s Kyle Armour leaps to make a catch between two defenders.
Hennessy said. “I don’t think people fully understand what type of player he is. Everyone wants to talk about Jake [Hedberg] and Kyle [Armour], but Andrew is the heart and soul of this team. I said at the break, he is the only one getting after it and keeping us in the game.” Joram Sanchez and Mathias Smith each had interceptions, and the secondary as a whole limited Vasquez to under 50 passing yards. Since Manchester’s first score came on a 45-yard interception, the defense only allowed one
score the entire game. With this game having been played on Thursday, the Indians have an extra day to prepare for Glastonbury. It’s been a tough stretch for Newington, and it won’t get easier, but the Indians have the talent to overcome the struggles. “Losing two in a row is tough, we can’t afford to go three in a row,” Hennessy said.
plight. “If you coach long enough, you’ll be on both ends of the stick,” Capodice said. The Redcoats have given up only seven points in four games, with the one touchdown coming in Week 3 at Tolland. On offense, Berlin has a solid stable of running backs to choose from. Taylor and Anthony Sisti combined to rush for 136 yards and two touchdowns on just nine attempts against Rockville. Eric Garcia added a carry for 19 yards. “We have a good group of backs and a good group of linemen,” Capodice said. The offensive line is made up of senior Joey Inturri, senior Joe Kevin Bartram | Staff Berlin’s Anthony Sisti finds a hole as he runs the ball in the first half Thursday. Chatlas, sophomore Nick Zuk, junior Nick Cardello, senior Jack to run on Berlin. Rockville gained going with its passing game either Stafstrom, along with senior tight eight yards on the ground on 28 (0-for-3). Capodice sympathized end Jonathan Platosz. Taylor is a attempts, and it couldn’t anything with Rockville coach A.J. Taddio’s junior fullback for the Redcoats.
Quarterback Alec Norton has become more comfortable in his new role and throws an accurate ball, giving Berlin the offensive balance it craves. The Redcoats should get to 5-0 next Saturday against Weaver, but there are tougher games looming after that. “They’re a good group of kids, they work hard, but the competition is going to get progressively better as the season evolves,” Capodice said. After Weaver, Berlin has Plainville, Northwest Catholic, Platt, Rocky Hill, East Catholic and New Britain on the schedule. The next game, however, is Weaver, and the Redcoats want to keep improving every game.

Redcoats dominated every part of game in rout By KEVIN D. ROBERTS STAFF WRITER
Is was another solid effort for the Berlin football team on Thursday night in a 42-0 win over Rockville at Scalise Field. The Redcoats continued their defensive dominance, yielding a total of eight yards to the Rams. Berlin coach John Capodice was happy with the play of his defense, from the front line to the linebacking corps to the secondary. The linemen got a good push and allowed the linebackers and secondary to clean up the play. Inside linebacker Jack Stafstrom intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown. Fellow inside linebacker Owen Taylor had a solid performance while outside linebackers Tyler Giangrave and Jeremy Eliades continue to come along nicely. Those linebackers have made it difficult for any team

Letter: Hurley will move the state in the right direction To the Editor:
I am new to Wethersfield and on Nov. 4, I am going to vote for Michael Hurley for state Representative. Russ Morin is trumpeting his securing of state funding “his basic job” along with voting for the $626 million bipartisan jobs bill that passed 147-1 in 2011. According to the Connecticut Department of Labor, (3,900) jobs were lost in the month of August and the Connecticut non-farm unemployment rate is 6.9 percent, or 17 percent higher than the national average of 5.9 percent. Wethersfield’s unemployment rate is 6.5 percent, which is unacceptably high for our demographic. I judge job performance based upon outcomes and, like too many Wethersfield residents, Morin’s policies are not working.
Russ Morin is also employed as a union representative for state employees. How can he represent taxpayers’ interests when he’s employed by an organization that benefits from higher taxes? Electing Morin is like allowing your pet boa constrictor to baby sit your pet pig. In closing, Mike Hurley is a fiscal conservative who serves on the Town Council and works in finance for The Travelers Ins. Co. He was also a corrections officer and understands how to balance the needs of the government with the right incentives private sector to create good paying jobs. Mike Hurley will be an impartial advocate to represent Wethersfield’s interests and is best-suited to move Connecticut in the right direction. Mark Pappa Wethersfield
Letter: Byron can be trusted to defend Connecticut To the Editor:
I am supporting Gary Byron for 27th District Representative to our state legislature. He is a man of good character who will be able to accomplish the job we send him to Hartford for. He has wisdom for the work that needs to be done, like bringing new businesses to Connecticut, keeping businesses in Connecticut that are already here and, hopefully, encouraging corporations like UTC to expand in our state, not elsewhere. Gary works well with people and will be a driving force to give Connecticut a healthy economy. Lower taxes increase revenue, which was proven by John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan and the state of Texas. How would our state be finan-

I have witnessed the reduction of manufacturing by P&W in Connecticut through the closing of four of their plants and the size of their largest facility in East Hartford because of an unfriendly business environment.

Stephen Ministry celebrates 10-year anniversary SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER
WETHERSFIELD — Stephen Ministry has become an integral way in which the Wethersfield Evangelical Free Church reaches out to its members and the community to provide a caregiving ministry. It is with great joy that this fall the church is celebrating its 10-year anniversary as a Stephen Ministry congregation. Since 2004, Wethersfield Evangelical Free Church’s Stephen Ministers, members of the church who have received 50 hours of caregiving training, have provided one-to-one Christian care to individuals experiencing crises such as the loss of a loved one, a divorce, a terminal illness, loneliness, unemployment, hospitalization, a spiritual crisis or the birth of a child. “I have found Stephen Ministry to be a highly valued resource for those who are facing difficulty and hardship,” said Pastor Scott Solberg. “It is a valuable resource because it comes in the form of a person, a very real presence when one often feels alone. Through the gentle touch and faithful presence of a Stephen Minister, God no longer seems distant, but very present. God’s love is felt and the care receiver is comforted and strengthened. This is the
value that comes with Stephen Ministry, and I am grateful that this resource has been available to us for the past 10 years.” Stephen Leader Audrey Jensen estimates that in the past 10 years, Stephen Ministers at WEFC have provided 2,800
“[Stephen Ministry] is a valuable resource because it comes in the form of a person, a very real presence when one often feels alone.” PASTOR SCOTT SOLBERG
hours of high quality Christian care to individuals in need. The Stephen Ministry at the church has trained 39 Stephen Ministers during that time span. Stephen Ministers agree to serve at least two years after they have received their training, but many have chosen to serve longer because they experience a sense of grat-
itude that God is using them as they bring a listening ear to hurting people. Since 2009, the Stephen Ministry has offered a Blue Holidays Service of Comfort and Hope to the community. This has been one way this ministry has been able to reach out beyond the walls of the church. The service has always brought comfort and peace to those who are facing the holidays with sadness in their hearts. The Wethersfield Evangelical Free Church Stephen Ministry commemorated the 10th anniversary with a celebration dinner and program on Oct. 3. WEFC Stephen Ministers were invited to attend the very special evening. Stephen Ministry Sunday was observed during the morning services on Oct. 5 when the entire congregation had the opportunity to reflect on how the Stephen Ministers have helped to make WEFC a much more caring community. To learn more about the Stephen Ministry at WEFC, call the church office at (860) 5638286 or visit the church website at www.wethefc.com.

Letter: Anest will be our eyes, ears and voice To the Editor:
For the past 16 years, I haven’t had to think much about who I was going to vote for as our state Representative, as Sandy Nafis was always my choice. This year I had to look at the records of the two candidates in order to make an informed decision as to who was the best candidate to represent the Town of Newington in the state legislature. In my opinion, one candidate stands out above the other, as being a person who has been actively involved for many years in the issues facing this town, as well as actively being involved
as a volunteer in the community. The person I want to vote for is someone who has a “vision” for Newington that I agree with and believe in; someone who had a proven record of preserving open space; someone who opposes high-density housing; someone who was instrumental in formulating the much talked about 2020 Plan of Conservation and Development; someone who was the only person on TPZ to reject the Toll Bros. plans to build on Cedar Mountain; someone who knows how to listen to the concerns of the citizens and will try to resolve their issues; someone with knowledge of the problems that
the elderly and veterans are faced with and knows how to help them to solve those problems; someone who I trust to be our “eyes,” our “ears” and our “voice” in the state legislator as laws are being passed that will affect the Town of Newington as well as the state of Connecticut for years to come. Carol Anest is my choice and the only candidate that fits “my qualifications” to be our state Representative. Therefore, on Nov. 4, I will be casting my vote for Carol and hope that you will consider doing the same as well. Jay Slater Newington

IN THE 1950S: The library and the Connecticut Historical Society are teaming up to bring you, “From Hula Hoops to High Fashion: G. Fox & Co. in the 1950s” on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. For most Connecticut residents, the word “Fox’s” holds powerful associations. The name evokes images of a beautifully decorated, tall department store on Main Street filled with every imaginable garment, home furnishing or, domestic necessity dreamed of and warm memories of sharing time with family and friends. From the marquee decorated for Christmas to shopping trips for back-to-school clothes, the days at G. Fox were filled with wonder. For a treat, nothing was better than cream cheese on date-nut bread with mother in the Connecticut Room. Elizabeth Abbe, director of public outreach at the Connecticut Historical Society, will be your guide down memory lane, with a look at Connecticut’s favorite department store. She will take you back, floor by floor, to the days when Fox’s was the largest privately-owned department store in the United States. Abbe, who grew up in Wethersfield, says she remembers how special it was to take the bus “uptown” to spend the day
shopping with her mother at Fox’s. It’s time to revisit G. Fox Co., where the customer was always right! Bring your memories along with your favorite purchases. We’ll have some tables for display of G. Fox Co. treasures and time for you to share a favorite G. Fox Co. story. You’ll also have the opportunity to go home with a booklet that gives a brief history of the store for a small donation. The program is free and open to all. Registration is suggested. For more information or to register call the Adult Services Information Desk at (860) 257-2811, or you may email registrations to library@wethersfieldlibrary.org.
