By SCOTT WHIPPLE STAFF WRITER

NEWINGTON — To many of us, the art of roasting conjures up burgers, hot dogs or toasted marshmallows. So, why bother cooking meat in a fireplace when you have a kitchen range and a microwave?

Try telling that to the two dozen or more visitors to the INSIDE:

In fact, rather than engage a visitor to Newington Historical Society and Trust’s annual open hearth demonstration in conversation about the food preferences of the state’s 18th century inhabit-

Dorothy Abbott, executive director of the society, said the society has been hosting this event for more than 20 years.

Newington man guilty of reduced charges in kidnapping case

By LISA BACKUS STAFF WRITER

NEW BRITAIN — A Newington man accused of kidnapping one of his drug patrons in an attempt to get reimbursement for cocaine pleaded guilty to reduced charges Tuesday.

Jose Martinez, 21, of 143 Williamstown Court, Newington, was facing several counts including kidnapping and second-degree assault charges for allegedly kidnapping a 40-year-old man who was given a “lock box” containing the younger man’s cocaine stash.

Democrats keep council supermajority Continued from Page 1

East Cedar St. located in the municipal parking lot between Route 175 and Market Square next to Sovereign Bank. The Democrats gathered at their headquarters at 155 Lowery Place next to the new Best Market Store.

As the results began to roll in, Woods said he was beginning to feel more confident. Elizabeth McDonald, candidate for the Board of Education, said she was “cautiously optimistic and hopeful for a Democratic win.”

Republican mayoral candidate Beth DelBuono said she was excited and nervous. Dinunzio said he was proud of the Republican team which created “a real grassroots push to reach the voters and talk about the issues that might impact them.”

“We knocked on 8,000 doors and passed out 13,000 pieces of literature,” he said. “For someone like me, who is 23 years old, it has been a great experience.”

Klett praised her team for a “phenomenal effort.”

“We went out and knocked on the door of every household on every street in town,” she said.

“I was a Democrat on and off the Town Council for the past 30 years but I left the party to become a Republican and serve with Beth.”

clear, DelBuono said she wished Woods well.

“This election day is about giving people what they want and the outcome is what they wish,” she said. “I hope Newington does well under the mayor’s leadership for the next two years.”

In Woods’ camp, the crowd cheered and applauded their victory.

Woods thanked his backers for their contributions and thanked his team for getting his message out.

“So many people in this room worked tirelessly to make this night what it was,” he said. “This was a tough race and a long race.

The attacks started very early and got worse, but we had a great record to run on and we will continue to do well.”

It wasn’t an easy campaign season for anyone. Woods had

been accused by DelBuono of unethical behavior. The claim that Woods used his position in town government to garner $233,000 in business for his company, Stonehedge Landscaping, was brought to the Chief State’s Attorney’s Office. The investigation was closed in September with no action against Woods, who called the accusations “defamation” and urged the opposing party to submit a complaint to the town’s ethics board if they still find fault with his actions.

Woods said his team learned a lot from his previous election.

“I learned how important door knocking is,” he said. “I hate knocking on doors, but it all came together really well.”

Ghost Hunters present spirited program at library

By BRIAN M. JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

Dozens of people gathered to learn what awaits after death from Connecticut Ghost Hunters Monday at Lucy Robbins Welles Library.

Sydney Sherman, author, medium and co-founder of Connecticut Ghost Hunters, spoke in the community room at the library at 95 Cedar St. in a presentation titled “Our Haunted Connecticut.”

She was joined by fellow cofounder Christian Bryant, the group’s communications director Kelly Schreier and newly appointed ghost hunter Peggy Mitchell Gay. The group, founded in 1978, only accepts prospective members who meet their ethical standards and share their philosophies.

“A lot of groups will just break into cemeteries to conduct investigations,” said Schreier. “We always have permission from the owner before we go anywhere.”

Throughout the presentation,

the group discussed theories and myths about spirits, places in Connecticut reported to be haunted, and the various types of technology used to capture evidence of the afterlife. In each case, the group sought to debunk popular misconceptions based on their research and experience.

The group debunked several legends based on simple historical research, including The Black Dog of Hanging Hill, Midnight Mary, Dudley Town and Little People’s Village.

Other sites, including the Ivoryton Playhouse, Maxi Hall at the University of New Haven and Rockland Cemetery in Madison, the group said, were likely visited based on their investigations.

Sherman said the group’s theory about spirits follows the first law of thermodynamics: conservation of energy.

“Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be manipulated,” she said. “While our physical bodies grow old and frail and eventually die, our spirits continue to exist as a whole,

According to the presentation, spirits can be recognized by familiar smells associated with loved

“We say that if something could in any way be anything else but supernatural, it can’t be used as evidence,” said Bryant.

“I feel badly when anyone sends us pictures of ‘ghost orbs,’” said Sherman. “They’re really just the dust particles you see in the beam of a flashlight. We walk through them and breathe them in every day.”

Sherman said the mind also likes to play tricks on people.

“You’ll find that with paranormal investigation shows they’ll often tell you what a disembodied voice recording is saying before you hear it,” she said. “Likewise I could blindfold someone and tell them I am holding a cigarette. They’ll tell me they can smell it even though I’m actually holding an apple.

Everything should be taken with a grain of salt.”

Kevin Finn wins in Toastmasters competition

Kevin Finn of Newington was victorious in the Cedar Hill Toastmasters Club Evaluation contest. Finn was among the club’s original members when it was founded in 1999.

In the Evaluation Contest, competitors evaluate a “target speech.”

Evaluation is one of the most important things Toastmasters do in their contribution club.

All speeches given at club meetings are evaluated by another member so as to help the speaker improve. Speech evaluators attempt to balance an equal amount of praise with tips for improvement.

Finn chose to join Toastmasters because he hoped it would help him overcome his shyness and stutter.

He happily reports that Toastmasters helped him to overcome both “and then some.”

Finn has served in many leadership positions within the Toastmasters organization at the club, area and division levels. He

has also contributed much of his time and effort to District 53 conference preparations and served as conference co-chair in 2006.

The second-place contes-

the district level in the Humorous Speech Competition of 2012. He has served the club as President, Vice-President of Education and Sergeant-At-Arms.

An artist’s rendition of the planned Veterans Landing assisted living residence.

Crowdfunding campaign launched for Veterans Landing in Newington

The Hartford-based Community Renewal Team is launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for its planned assisted living residence, Veterans Landing.

One of the first of its kind in the nation, Veterans Landing will be run exclusively for aging veterans and their spouses. When it opens on the VA Newington campus, it will offer low-to-moderate income vets a place to live comfortably and safely, while making sure their health and wellness needs are met.

Crowdfunding is a method of fundraising that allows donors to contribute directly to the cause online. Donations

will go directly to benefit the Veterans Landing fund. As an added incentive, donors can receive a free gift for each level of contribution. Supporters can make a secure crowdfunding donation by visiting gofundme.com/CRTvets or crtct.org and clicking the link to the Veterans Landing Crowdfunding Campaign.

Anyone who has ever had an elderly parent or relative enter assisted living knows the expense involved — typically between $3,000 and $7,800 per month. That’s why CRT’s Veterans Landing is essential to support the men and women who have served our country as they grow older.

Across the hall, in the bedroom, Jeanne Ericson, 84, pointed to various family treasures that had been passed down through generations — a chest of drawers made in Wethersfield, a night table from Colonial times.

The house was moved from Kelsey Street in the 1960s, she said, apparently to make way for a state road.

The society’s next event will be a Holiday Open House and Christmas Boutique, held at the Kellogg-Eddy House and Museum on Willard Avenue. There is no admission fee. However, donations are always appreciated, including non-perishable food items for the

By BRIAN M. JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

Dr. Stuart Calle will hold a party for the St. Mary’s Church community Sunday.

Calle, a member of the church at 628 Willard Ave. and a doctor at A Walk-In Medical Center at 365 Willard Ave., is a man who as he says “wears many hats.” So, too, will his party, which will take place at his 641 Willard Ave. home from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

He says it will be a simultaneous celebration of seasonal colors, the church community, veterans and the preservation of local homes.

The dress-casual party will feature food, drinks and speakers including Calle and Father Joseph Keough of St. Mary’s.

Father Keough will bless three

OF

Willard Avenue homes that have been recently renovated, and honor veterans from nearby American Legion Post No. 117 who have been invited to attend.

Calle has also invited U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who he said was an old friend and neighbor when he lived in Greenwich.

Calle, a Newington resident since 2007, said he expects a good turnout.

“My hope is that we will bring our large community together,” he said. “We’ve planned on 500 people or so to come.”

For more information, call Calle at (860)436-3226.

PET OF THE WEEK: HONEY Jen, one of our shelter volunteers, has only good things to say about Honey. “Honey is an adorable 7-year-old black and white cat that is as cute as a button and has a great personality.

She is very friendly and loves it when you give her attention.

She does not appear to be a big fan of other cats but a cat test can be done here at the shelter to be sure. Honey would make a great companion for someone and she is hoping her wish will come true of getting a great new home and loving owner to dote on her.” Come to the Newington shelter to visit with Honey to see if you are her wish come true!

NEW BRITAIN — After nearly five days of deliberations a jury found a New Britain man guilty Tuesday of a Wethersfield robbery and not guilty of a Berlin robbery.

In both cases, prosecutors said Eugene Edwards, 50, of 38 Nye Road, followed elderly women home from grocery stores and then robbed them at gunpoint. The women were 91 and 82 years old.

Both testified women at his trial.

Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Brett Salafia said during closing arguments last week that Edwards held the women at gunpoint, and each witness gave a credible account of the incident during his trial.

“These two elderly ladies were scared for their lives while he held them up at gunpoint at their homes,” said Salafia, who also pointed out that the 91-year-old victim had enough presence of mind to tell police, “This is how it went down.”

“The evidence is overwhelming that this defendant robbed two elderly ladies,” he told the jury.

However, Edwards’ public defender, Christopher Eddy, pointed out in his summation that neither victim could pick Edwards out of a photo lineup.

“The state has the wrong tall, thin, black male,” Eddy said. “The state is correct that the defense has not challenged that the victim was robbed on June 1, in fact we embrace her credibility. She pro-

vided no description of the suspect other than he was a black male.”

Edwards was facing robbery, home invasion and larceny charges levied

by Berlin and Wethersfield police.

He has been held on bond since his arrest September 2012.

After deliberating for nearly five days, the jury came back with a guilty verdict for the Wethersfield robbery and a not guilty verdict for the Berlin robbery.

A New Britain Superior Court Judge ordered Edwards’ bond increased to $750,000 after the verdicts were announced.

Edwards is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 10.
