Newington ranks among top towns in which to raise a family By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
As residents of a close-knit community on the outskirts of Hartford, people who grow up in Newington tend to be proud of their roots. A recent study released by a well-trusted consumer advocacy organization will affirm their hometown pride, as Newington ranked third among “The Best Towns in Connecticut for Young Families.” Volume 53, No. 46

NerdWallet, which has been featured by The New York Times, Reuters, and CNNMoney, offers consumers data-driven tools to help them make smart financial decisions. A study they released last week analyzed U.S. Census data to rate towns on five different factors, which were determined by interviews with young families: public school rating, median home value, ongoing cost of home ownership, median income, and economic growth. It rated 38 towns across the state — only those with populations more than 10,000. According to analyst Mike Anderson, who conducted the study, census data

Newington gets $136K in funding for new technology By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Eight school districts across Central Connecticut were grateful recipients of funding for new technology, announced by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy at the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) Convention last Friday. Among them, Newington received $136,000; New Britain, $238,920; Bristol, $286,116; Plymouth, $78,749; Wethersfield, $196,038; Rocky Hill, $113,543; Berlin, $180,572, and Southington, $237,923. More than $24 million in total grant requests was awarded to 126 different towns, to help districts complete the transition to the
Common Core State Standards and the accompanying computer-based Smarter Balanced assessments. The Smarter Balanced Assessment System, to replace CMT and CAPT English and math testing as of March 2014, requires that tests be administered only on computing devices. Because many districts requested financial assistance to update their schools’ technology, this funding allows them to purchase new computing devices, inter-school bandwidth, or inter-district bandwidth. State Department of Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor joined the governor in making the grant announcement.

In Wethersfield, new computing devices take precedence. “We’re going to be purchasing hardware to support our effort to administer the Smarter Balance Assessment, and it also brings us closer to our goal of being able to provide one-to-one devices for our students,” said Michael Emmett, superintendent of schools. Right now a communal cart of iPads is shared by Wethersfield classrooms on a sign-out-only basis. Once every student has his or her own device, schools will move away from the hardcover textbook teaching model and into the era of e-texts.

Dinunzio a young man with potential for the future To the Editor: As a student in my fourthgrade class at Ruth L. Chaffee School, I watched a young Danny Dinunzio reach out to other children, and I saw how much he cared. He also demonstrated his perseverance. His homework was always done on time, his willingness to cooperate in team events was impressive, and his delight in being a helper was significant. Believe me, Danny Dinunzio was a terrific boy, and now, he is a young man who has tremendous potential for the future. Dan began establishing his impeccable work ethic when he was just a child, mostly because
of the upbringing of his parents who always have been advocates for their children, but also because of many other supportive people. It was in the years to follow that his concern for mankind grew, and now, he has the entire town of Newington as his top priority. His integrity and work ethic have been perfected. Honestly, we are so fortunate to have this fresh new face ready to serve this town. I am immensely proud of Daniel Dinunzio. Dan is very intelligent, highly driven, and I know he will make positive choices for our town. He has always been ready and willing to go beyond what’s expected, and I
know he will do the same for the constituents of Newington. Now, as a newly elected Town Council member, I’m confident Dan will act as an independent thinker. His past experience in municipal government will be invaluable for the future of Newington, and I know he will ask the difficult questions and keep the best interest of residents in mind, especially when critical issues need to be faced. Daniel Dinunzio can be depended upon to do an outstanding job as a member of the Newington Town Council. Judi Briggaman Newington

Consigning sporting goods a holiday opportunity
By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Don’t let that old baseball glove get dusty in the garage alongside the skis you bought five years ago but only used that one time. The holiday season is upon us, and local residents have an opportunity to make some quick cash on their gently used sporting goods while picking out unique gifts that appeal to the active and athletic members of their families. The JockSale Franchise is opening up their very first Connecticut location in Newington, with its inaugural week-long sporting goods and hobby consignment event to run from Monday, Nov. 25, through Dec. 8. Items can be dropped off beginning Monday, but the sale won’t begin until Nov. 29. Items accepted by consignors and offered to shoppers will range from soccer cleats to kayaks, and everything in-between. Think balls, snowboards, baseball bats, golf clubs, musical instruments, video games and work-out clothes. A “man junk” section has also been added to accommodate requests for tools and other power
equipment. “Anything people want to sell that’s cluttering up their garage or basement,” said Kate Roman, event manager. A large amount of new gear will also be available at “deep discounts” since several area retailers have signed on to use JockSale to move additional inventory during the holiday shopping season. Using the company’s website, consignors can price their gear, print labels and tag their items, before dropping them off at the warehouse and wishing them well. Items are staged so sellers don’t have to be present during the sale, and can just wait to receive a check with their portion of the profit — 60 percent. That’s the standard consignment industry split. Or they can request the profits be donated to the New Britain-Berlin YMCA and The First Tee of Connecticut, the two charities chosen by the staff as beneficiaries. Anything that doesn’t sell can be picked up or designated to the JockSale inventory. Here it has a chance to sell at future events, after which 70 percent of the

profit will be donated to a local charity of the consignor’s choice. According to Roman, the JockSale concept offers sellers an alternative to the more common route. Online transactions aren’t always trustworthy, can take weeks to complete and require shipping. Tag sales are a whole different ballgame, with set-up and all-day supervision. “It’s a very convenient service compared to the other options — that’s for sure,” she said. With two kids who play all different sports throughout the year, Roman and her husband know what it’s like to buy the latest

Cub Scouts visit Battleship Cove
Pack 347 of Newington recently made a trip to Battleship Cove in Fall River, Mass., to explore the world’s largest collection of historic naval ships. After touring the battleship Massachusetts, destroyer Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., submarine Lionfish, PT Boats 617 and 796, and the Russian missile corvette Hiddensee, the Scouts, their parents, and adult leaders spent the night of Oct. 19 on board the Massachusetts. Battleship Cove’s Nautical Nights program included a knot-tying class, storyteller, living history presenter, major motion pictures, and a Morse Code class. The trip has enabled the Scouts to better understand and appreciate the sacrifices made by veterans of all military branches in all wars. “To walk the same deck and sleep in the same quarters as the sailors of the USS Massachusetts was an incredible experience
for the Scouts and parents of Pack 347,” says Cubmaster Eric Rothauser. “Perhaps, the most moving part was being able to listen to a Navy veteran who served on the Massachusetts during World War II and hearing his firsthand account of the ship’s adventures.” Battleship Cove serves as the Commonwealth’s official memorial for Massachusetts citizens of all military branches who lost their lives in World War II, and the Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf conflicts, and most recently, the Commonwealth’s victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Preserving five national Historic Landmark naval vessels, Battleship Cove also delivers educational programs that expose a national audience of 60,000 youths to a mission that promotes duty, honor and country. Battleship Cove is open all day, 362 days each year.

Fitness Together celebrating WETHERSFIELD LIBRARY CALENDAR its fifth year in Rocky Hill
Michael Kaman is a Rocky Hill business owner who is also currently serving in the National Guard. He was deployed for homeland security in 2003, followed by Afghanistan in 2006. Upon returning home, he went to school full-time and got his Masters in Health Education. It was shortly afterward that he found out about Fitness Together, a franchise that focuses on oneon-one and small group training — and it’s a concept he truly believes in. Kaman opened Fitness Together of Rocky Hill in November 2008. Under the belief that big-box gyms that sign members up without assuming the responsibility to ensure their fitness success (such as making more money when people don’t show up at the gym) are unethical, he invested in Fitness Together.

Kaman is currently serving in the Army National Guard, entering his 16th year, and is now a certified teacher in Exercise Science. Balancing serving in the Army and running a business is tough at times, but he formed a system that enables him to get it done and his gym is still operating smoothly because he loves what he does and he loves the local community. This month is the Fitness Together of Rocky Hill’s five-year anniversary.
