When the popular Ron’s Automotive Service closed its doors last year, it left former employee Leo Passerella without a job, but not without a dream.

Now one year later, he’s taken the initiative to establish his own business and is extending an invitation to Newington residents in need of auto services of any kind.

Whether it’s detailing, repairs, tires, alignment, used car inspection or DMV registration and emission testing, Passerella does it all.

“I have a good reputation in Newington from Ron’s and I’m trying to get back in touch with people,” he said, adding, “I felt bad when the shop closed down because a lot of people relied on us.”

Ron’s opened on its prime Main Street location in 1973, but closed last August.

“It was family-run and I kind of felt like part of the family,” says Passerella. “We had good clientele, lots of old customers … I felt a responsibility to the people of Newington that I helped out over the years, to continue.”

Seniors living in the nearby Market Square Apartments on Constance Leigh Drive were frequent customers. The shop’s free car pick-up and delivery service was ideal for them, and that’s one thing that Passerella is going to continue offering his customers.

“I can get anything you need done while you’re at work and drop your car off so it’s ready when you

Lou Passerella, former employee of Ron’s Automotive Service, which closed down a little more than a year ago, is getting back into the auto repair business by opening his own shop.

get home,” he says.

Using the services of a locallyowned mechanic shop has its perks.

Automotive-related national chain stores sometimes mislead their customers into wracking up a heftier bill than anticipated. Go in for a tire change and come out with a new transmission? It’s possible your old one was running just fine.

“The more parts they sell the more money they make,” says Passerella, who swears by fair business practices.

“When I worked at Ron’s I went home with a clean conscience, because I have integrity and take pride in my work.”

But his leave from Ron’s was actually for the best, because Passerella’s

wife ended up needing a serious operation last year that’s kept him at home as primary caregiver.

Her health has since improved, but the economy hasn’t. Finding a full-time job in any industry right now is a tough feat.

That’s why he took business matters into his own hands.

“I started this because I had a burning desire to get back into the automotive field,” he says.

Newington voters favors Dems, OK referendum questions Continued from Page 1

Congressman John Larson, both Democrats, each won their races by parallel landslides, winning over 68 percent of their respective voters. Their opponents, John Henry Decker and Joe Dinunzio each took less than one-third of the vote.

Longtime state Rep. Sandy Nafis, who was first elected to the 27th District in 1998 and represents the majority of Newington residents, came out on top with 6,618 votes. Her opponent Ben Ancona — fellow Newington resident and chairman of the Republican Town Committee — had 3,609.

Voters in the 29th District, which encompasses the southeast end of town, favored State Rep. Tony Guerrera over Republican Todd Brown. In the southwest

portion of town, which falls in the 24th District, 64 percent of voters chose Rick Lopes while Peter Steele received 36 percent of the vote.

On another note, both referendum questions voters weighed in on this year passed with flying colors.

The new Town Charter, which went through a thorough revision process by a town committee during the past year, was approved by 7,243 voters, turned down by 2,384. The changes made were mainly to bring the document up-to-date with current town regulations; there were virtually no controversial provisions. Possibly the most significant — and maybe what picked up opponents’ concern — were increases in dollar amounts that require town proposals to go

NHS drama club set to present ‘A Christmas Carol’

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

A younger crowd is preparing to open up this year’s holiday season by performing an age-old Charles Dickens story for the Newington community.

The Newington High School Drama Club will present “A Christmas Carol” next week, Nov. 15, 16 and 17.

Students have been in rehearsals since September, tackling British accents and old-fashioned Christmas caroling.

“We had the largest turnout I’ve ever seen for auditions since I took over the drama club four years ago,” said Tom Connolly, the club’s advisor.

“This show is versatile enough that we can have a cast as little as 10 or as many as 44 people,” he added.

Although the script traditionally contains parts for mainly male characters, the majority of interested actors were female. Therefore, Connolly decided on a 32-person gender-neutral cast.

Scrooge, for example, is played by senior Emma Bartlett.

“This is an interesting version of ‘A Christmas Carol,’” he said during a

At left, sophomore Nick Sousa as Scrooge and Tina Lenares, 15, as his young beau in rehearsals for “A Christmas Carol,” Newington High School’s fall show. At center, Deanna Ruby, 17, one of the show’s carolers. At right, from left, senior Emma Bartlet as Scrooge, singing with the Ghost of Christmas Present, sophomore Sam McDougall.

recent rehearsal. “It has six characters who narrate the show in the voice of Charles Dickens and they serve as emotion-amplifiers for the audience — sort of clue them in on what they should be feeling.”

Following the proposal scene for example, where a young Scrooge (played by sophomore Nick Sousa) asks his beau (15-year-old Tina Lenares) to marry him, there are a half-dozen others gathered around

them. Carolers croon the bittersweet sentiment in the air, eluding to the fact that the wide-eyed young man would soon evolve into a miserable old man.

“This is my favorite scene right here, they do such a good job with it; it’s a mix of really strong talent,” Connolly whispered, watching the students carefully and scribbling down things that need improvement and changes to be addressed.

Senior Courtney Oushana, 17, was cast as Tiny Tim and is especially excited for next week’s performance, because it will be her first.

“I’ve done choir and ballet and stuff, but this is my first play … my debut,” she joked.

“Your breakout role!” added her friend Emily Forauer, a junior, who is playing Mrs. Cratchit.

“I like that everybody works together to make something bigger than themselves,” Forauer said of theatre, which she has been involved in for about three years.

“It’s kind of a team effort; whatever your role is you feel needed, important,” she added.

Although “getting the show on the road” has been somewhat of a challenge for the group, they are preparing non-stop and can’t wait to present their performance.

“We lost a couple of days due to the storm so we’re a little behind with our rehearsals but they’re doing really well,” Connolly said last week.

“Our biggest obstacle has been the British accent,”he added.“We’ve been doing accent workshops to help.” But that says a lot for the amount of heart they put into their parts: while not in costume and not rehearsing lines, the students continue to address each other like Brits.

“A Christmas Carol” will be presented in the Newington High School auditorium Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nov. 15 through 17 at 7:30 p.m. There will also be a special matinee showing at 1;30 p.m.

Saturday.

Community benefits from Kiwanis Club’s generosity More than $20K raised through weekly Market Square Big K Flea Market

events in town — most significantly the Newington Memorial Day Parade, but also the Extravaganza, the Clara McDermott Basketball Classic and the American Legion Boys State.

“All of this was made possible by the volunteers who work at the flea market,” explained Public Relations Chairman and Program Chairman, Al Cohen, who has been a Kiwanis member since the mid-’80s.

The flea market has two runs each year: every Sunday from April to the end of June and then again for eight Sundays in the fall. Volunteers are welcome to come anytime during the morning into the early afternoon to help out at the market, but there are several individuals who are there helping set up before the sun even begins to peek over the horizon.

This includes Kiwanis Vice President Bill Hall and TreasurerSecretary Dan Henry, as well as member Joe Wells.

Many others do their part to make each market a fun, successful Kiwanis Club’s 2012 Big K Flea Market, which was held every Sunday in Market Square, raised over $20,000 event, like state Rep. Sandy Nafis, The for local causes. The flea market wrapped up for the year at the end of October.

D-Newington, a longtime Kiwanis member, as well as Cohen’s wife Myra, a longtime town councilor.

The club is now planning for a 60th anniversary celebration in January.

Any civic-minded citizens who would like to experience the satisfaction of giving something back to their community to help make Newington a better place can inquire about joining the Newington Kiwanis by calling Al Cohen at (860) 667-2864.

The crafters and treasure vendors who fill Market Square Sundays in fall and spring for the Newington Kiwanis Big K Flea Market packed up the last of their goods at the end of October. But their cold weather departure marked some great news for Newington.

A total of $20,000 in proceeds was collected through admission and vendor fees in the market’s 2012 season.

This was recently distributed to the various community organizations and causes the Kiwanis support.

It’s the usual routine for the club, which has held its annual flea markets every year since 1992, with the mission of supporting many worthy civic and humanitarian projects in the Newington community.

These weekly events draw in more than 1,000 visitors and up to 75 vendors in sunny weather.

One of the most notable of the beneficiaries is Newington High School, which receives $5,000 in scholarships for graduating seniors each year. The school’s Key Club is also a Kiwanis-sponsored activity, and gives interested students the opportunity to perform acts of kindness for local senior citizens. The Keys also work at the flea market.

Among other groups to receive donations this year were: Newington Human Services and the Food Bank, Newington Volunteer Fire Department and Hartford Hospital’s Craniofacial Department, which treats children who suffer from facial Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) malformations.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

Newington’s 4-game win streak snapped by Hall

By KEVIN D. ROBERTS STAFF WRITER

A disastrous start to Saturday’s game led to the end Newington’s four-game win streak in a 40-18 loss to Hall at a blustery Robert S. Chalmers Stadium.

The Indians dropped to 4-4 while the Warriors improved to 4-4. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Hall. Warriors quarterback Zach Dobbins was 19-of-28 passing for 207 yards and three touchdowns.

Hall marched 80 yards on the opening drive behind the bruising ground attack of running back Jordan Bell. Bell, who had 62 yards on the drive, finished off the nineplay drive with a 23-yard scoring run off of a reverse for a 6-0 Warriors lead. Thomas Honyotski’s extra point made it 7-0 with 8:12 left in the first quarter.

“Being able to run the ball, and Bell running the ball as well as he did, was outstanding,” Hall coach Frank Robinson III said.

If it wasn’t bad enough that Hall scored on its opening possession, matters only got worse for Newington on the ensuing kickoff.

Kicking into strong winds, Honyotski put the ball high and short. An Indians player tried to catch the ball but fumbled, giving the Warriors the ball at the Newington 37.

“We dropped the ball on that play, and they got it,” Newington coach Roy Roberts said. “We got to make a play.”

On 2nd and 10, Dobbins kept the ball on the option and ran 35 yards to the Indians 2.

“We haven’t asked him to do it much, but today there was an opportunity for him to do that,” Robinson said.

Two plays later, Chris Davis scored on short yardage for a 13-0 lead. Honyotski’s kick made it 14-0 Hall, and there was still 7:05 to play in the first quarter.

“They started the game better than we did,” Roberts said. “That’s what it comes down to.”

Newington got on the scoreboard when Chris Beauford kicked a 22-yard field goal with five seconds remaining in the first quarter.

The Indians could’ve cut the Warrior lead in half, but they didn’t

get any more yards after having 2nd and goal from the 4.

Honyotski got the three points back with a 31-yard field goal of his own at the 3:55 mark of the second quarter. Still, Newington was within two touchdowns.

Then the bottom fell out for the Indians.

On the second play of the ensuing drive, Newington quarterback Jake Hedberg’s pass was intercepted by Hall’s DJ Byers, who returned it 15 yards to the Indians 27.

On a 3rd and 9 from the 10 with 1:36 left in the first half, Dobbins threw across the middle to Bell, who made a juggling catch for a touchdown. Honyotski’s third extra point of the half made it 24-3.

After running back Eric Ryan (16 carries, 58 yards) broke off a 17-yard run on the first play of Newington’s next drive, Hedberg threw incomplete on a ball that was nearly intercepted. On the next play, Hedberg did get intercepted by Andrew Monos. Hedberg was just 3-of-12 for 28 yards and two interceptions in the opening 24 minutes.

On the other side, Dobbins was

14-of-20 for 161 yards and a touchdown in the first half.

Hall went for the kill on the final drive of the half but only got a 22-yard Honyotski field goal after false starting on 2nd and goal from the 1. Honyotski’s kick was the final play of the half and gave the Warriors a commanding 27-3 lead.

“We had some opportunities early in the game that we didn’t take advantage of, and they took advantage of their opportunities,” Roberts said.

The Indians appeared to be on the verge of really being blown out when Ryan fumbled after an eightyard gain on the first play of the second half, but the defense held, forcing the Warriors into a turnover on downs.

After three straight completions

by Hedberg, wide receiver Andrew Grenier hooked up with Kyle Bellizzi (6 catches, 70 yards, TD) for a 35-yard gain. A nice fade pass into the wind from Hedberg to Adam Murphy picked up 22 more yards and put the ball on the 3. Two plays later, Hedberg called his own number and scored. Chris Beauford’s

extra point made it 27-10 with 8:03 left in the third quarter.

Newington had a chance to get closer when a Hall player muffed a shanked punt by Beauford, giving the Indians the ball at their own 32.

Newington ended up punting again and Hall put the game away with a LT Nembhard touchdown run from three yards out.

Honyotski’s fourth extra point of the game made it 34-10 with 10:49 to play in the game. The Warriors added another score with 8:12 to go when Dobbins hit a wide open Neil Kelly for a 24-yard touchdown.

Honyotski’s extra point was blocked, but Hall led 40-10.

Newington added the game’s final score on a five-yard pass from Hedberg to Bellizzi. Hedberg finished the game 18-of-34 for 133 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

Slow start finally comes back to bite Newington

By KEVIN D. ROBERTS STAFF WRITER

For the past four games, the Newington football team has gotten off to a slow start.

In the three games prior to Saturday — wins over New Britain, Manchester and South Windsor — the Indians managed to come from behind and win.

That wasn’t the case against Hall on a windy Saturday afternoon at Robert S. Chalmers Stadium, where Newington (4-4) fell behind 27-3 at halftime on the way to a 40-18 loss.

The Warriors scored on their first drive, then recovered an Indians fumble on the ensuing kickoff.

When Hall’s Chris Davis scored from a yard out and Thomas Honyotski added the extra point, Newington trailed 14-0 with 7:05 left in the first quarter.

“That’s four weeks in a row where the other team scored on us first,” Indians coach Roy Roberts said.

In the New Britain game, Golden Hurricanes quarterback Malique Jones threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to give his team a 7-0 lead over the Indians. In an Oct. 20 win over

Manchester, Manchester picked up a safety for the game’s first points, and Newington trailed 18-6 entering the fourth quarter before rallying to win in dramatic fashion on quarterback Jake Hedberg’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Chris Beauford.

Even in the game against onewin South Windsor last Saturday, Newington fell behind 6-0 when Bobcats running back James Nyarko scored on a five-yard run with 4:27 left in the first quarter.

On Saturday, another slow start came back to bite the Indians.

“We got to start games better,” Roberts said.

Newington did get three points at the end of the first quarter, but could’ve had more.

On a play earlier in the drive, Hedberg threw for the end zone and the ball fell incomplete on a contested play, but the ball had a chance to be caught.

Hall scored the next 13 points, including 10 off of two Hedberg interceptions, to take a 27-3 lead into the half.

The Warriors were able to come out firing behind quarterback Zach

Dobbins, who was 14-of-20 passing for 161 yards and a touchdown in the first half. Hall had lost three in a row entering Saturday’s game.

“Football’s tough, life is tough,” Warriors coach Frank Robinson III said, referring to what the team talked about during the week.

“How are you going to deal with adversity?”

Hall was also able to run the ball well on its opening drive with running back Jordan Bell gaining 62 of his 88 yards on the drive.

“You have to give Newington credit,” Robinson said. “From the second quarter on, they shut down our run game.”

Hall responded by going to the air with Dobbins, who was effective throwing the ball (19-of-28, 207 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT). On a few plays in the game, Warrior receivers found themselves wide open for big gains.

On the other side, Hedberg struggled in the first half, going just 3-of-12 for 28 yards and two interceptions with no touchdowns. Hedberg finished the game 18-of-34 for 133 yards, one touchdown and the two interceptions.

Newington also had trouble getting running back Eric Ryan going.

Ryan finished with 58 yards on 16 yards and only reached the end zone on a two-point conversion play after the Indians’ final score.
