Newly-elected Newington Mayor Roy Zartarian, left, and Republican Town Committee Chairman Domenic Pane celebrate the party’s triumph Tuesday night at the Rooster Company.

NEWINGTON – Republicans rejoiced after a landslide win at the polls Tuesday, where Roy Zartarian defeated Democrat Christopher Banach 54 to 47 percent to become the town’s new mayor.

Fellow GOP candidates simultaneously won the 6-3 supermajority on the Town Council and five out of nine seats on the Board of Education, awarding the party a chance to fulfill its campaign prom-

ise for “a new day in Newington.”

“The message on our fliers reached them,” said an elated Zartarian, who was “thunderstruck” watching the results come in.

Attorney general joins coalition in defense of Clean Power Plan SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

HARTFORD – Attorney General George Jepsen announced this week that Connecticut has joined a coalition of 25 states, cities and counties in filing a motion to intervene to defend the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan against legal challenges.

The coalition’s motion to intervene in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia responds to lawsuits that several states and industry groups have filed challenging the new rule.

The Clean Power Plan requires fossil-fueled power plants – the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country – to cut their emissions pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act. “The Clean Power Plan is not only an appropriate exercise of the EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act, it is essential to the ongoing efforts of our coalition members to safeguard the health, safety and well-being of our residents,” said Jepsen. “My office, in partnership with the coalition, stands ready to support and assist the EPA throughout the implementation of the plan. We believe the plan sets reasonable limits on emissions of climate change pollution from new and existing power plants and that the plan is firmly grounded in law.”

The EPA adopted the Clean Power Plan through a multiyear process that drew heavily on the experience of states, like Connecticut, and utilities in reducing power plant greenhouse gas emissions.

The finalization of the plan marked the culmination of a decade-long effort by cities and

states to require mandatory cuts in the emissions of climate change pollution from fossil fuel burning power plants.

In seeking to intervene, the coalition members cited their compelling interest in defending the Clean Power Plan as a means to achieve their goal of preventing and mitigating climate change harms in their states and municipalities.

The coalition members, including Connecticut, have participated actively in regulatory and judicial proceedings that led to the adoption of the Clean Power Plan and have taken significant steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Connecticut passed landmark legislation in 1990 that required the state to implement a wide range of measures to reduce energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2001, Connecticut helped to develop the first ever international, multi-jurisdictional climate change action plan, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2010; reducing emissions to 10 percent below 1990 levels by 2020; and to reducing emissions to 75 to 85 percent below 2001 levels by 2050.

In addition to Connecticut, the coalition includes New York; California; Delaware; Hawaii; Illinois; Iowa; Maine; Maryland; Massachusetts; Minnesota; New Hampshire; New Mexico; Oregon; Rhode Island; Vermont; Virginia; Washington and the District of Columbia.

The cities of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boulder and South Miami, as well and Broward County, Florida have also joined.

PET OF THE WEEK: REB SPECIAL TO THE TOWN CRIER

Reb is a 6-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier, and her coat is a beautiful red mixed with black. Reb is looking for a family with kids over the age of 15, and she can live in a single family home or condo.

Reb seems relaxed and curious with her CHS friends, so her new home could possibly include other furry friends. This dog is calm and well-behaved, but she does have her moments of energy and she will need to get some exercise every day.

Reb’s behavior is very typical for her breed, and she would prefer to live with someone who has bully breed experience. Visit and play with Reb in Newington.

Remember, the Connecticut Humane Society has no time limits for adoption.

Reb

Inquiries for adoption should be made at the Connecticut Humane Society located at 701 Russell Road in Newington or by calling (860) 594-4500 or toll free at 1-800-452-

Ghouls and goblins take over downtown Business Association’s Halloween event a success again this year

By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

NEWINGTON – Every variety of ghoul, superhero and princess made their way through the center of town this past week.

Halloween weekend kicked off early in Newington as on Thursday, Oct. 29 the Downtown Business Association’s Trick or Treat around the Center was held.

The annual event was wildly popular this year, with over 600 kids gathering candy at businesses in Constitution Square, Market Square and Main Street.

“They love this; they come back every year,” Newington resident Julianne Duong said of her two sons Jayden, 3, and Brian, 2, along with their sister Christina, 10.

Before they began their candy collection, the family enjoyed tricks from a colorful clown and received balloon animals from Tony “The Magic Man” Feliciano, a self-described “balloon-sculptor” from Waterbury.

Local mothers from the Moms Club of Central Connecticut tailgated in the parking lot of Constitution Square. Their club

branch serves as a support group for stay-at-home moms living in Newington, Wethersfield, Cromwell and Rocky Hill.

Newington native and club member Marisa Barnes returned to her hometown with her daughters Ana, 4, and Elena, 18 months, for the trick-or-treating.

“It’s fun and really nice of the businesses to give out candy,” she said.

But the occasion was also good for local businesses, whose owners were happy to bring new visitors into their stores — if only for a few minutes.

“It certainly draws a lot of people into the downtown area that wouldn’t normally come,” said Richard Simons, vice president of the DBA. “Besides giving back to the community it’s about getting our businesses exposure.”

His pet shop, Simon Sez Pets, was one of 40 businesses that stayed open through the evening to hand out treats to kids this year.

“As you can see by the number of places participating, it’s clear they really care about their community,” Simons added.

Zartarian: People in Newington wanted a change Continued from Page 1

want a change,” he added.

Zartarian, 68, replaces immediate past mayor Stephen Woods, a Democrat who chose not to run for re-election after two terms.

Republican newcomers Gail Budrejko and Tim Manke defeated Democrat hopefuls Scott Soares and Dave Wemett for Council seats. They will be joined by GOP incumbents Dave Nagel, Maureen Klett and Beth DelBuono, along with Democrats Diana Casasanta Serra, Carol Anest and Jim Marocchini, the party’s only

returning councilor.

Banach was disappointed with the party’s loss Tuesday night.

“We ran a really good campaign,” he told the crowd representing the Democratic Town Committee who gathered at Puerto Vallarta Restaurant as the polls closed.

“Sometimes people make decisions on an emotional rather than a rational level,” Banach added.

Carol Anest, who collected the most votes of any Democrat running for council, hopes to represent the party well in her new position.

“I feel I have the responsibility to

make sure the Democratic message is continued,” she said. “It’s about respect and listening to the public.”

She and fellow Democrats campaigned on a promise to grow the town’s Grand List to lessen the tax burden — a goal they still hope to meet.

Republicans, on the other hand, plan on using cost-sharing and budget cuts to lower taxes, in addition to economic development.

“The election was the easy part, now we have to get to work,” Zartarian said.

This marks the first time since

2007 that Newington Republicans have won both the mayor’s seat and the council majority.

Republican Maureen Klett, who has divided her time between the Council and Board of Education since 1985, pointed out the importance of reaching out to voters in ensuring the party’s victory.

Candidates visited every neighborhood in town to meet residents and distribute thousands of fliers.

“I really had a strong feeling that if we just kept knocking on doors telling people the differences between ourselves and the oppo-

sition we would win,” Klett said.

“People are clearly in tune with what’s going on in Newington and they told everyone they want a change. I’m very grateful,” she added. “I think we’ll work well with the three minority members of the council.”

Returning to the school board are Republicans Paul Vessella, Jane Ancona-Siegel, Nancy CoccaroPetronio and Robert Tofeldt.

They are joined by newcomer Steven Silvia and Democrats Josh Shulman, Sharon Braverman, Emily Guoin and Cindy Stamm.

Bank robbery puts Rocky Hill Letter: Councilor says grammar school into lockdown thank you for support

ROCKY HILL (WFSB) — An elementary school in Rocky Hill was placed into a “soft lockdown” on Wednesday morning.

The West Hill Elementary School on Cronin Drive was placed on lockdown because of a nearby robbery, Principal Scott J.

Nozik tweeted.

Nozik said it is business as usual, but no one was let in and out of the building for a period on Wednesday. The school resource officer was on scene.

The bank robbery was reported at the Webster Bank on

Cromwell Avenue around 10:30 a.m.

An unidentified man entered the bank and “passed a bank savings slip with written instructions demanding money,” Rocky Hill Police Lt. Brian Klett said.

The man never implied he had or showed a weapon.

After fleeing the bank, police searched the area with a K-9, but were unable to locate the suspect. There is no word on how much was taken from the bank.

Police released surveillance photos of the suspect. He is being described as 5-foot-10 inches tall in his 30s with dark brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of the robbery he was wearing dark blue jeans and a long sleeved black jacket with a gray interior.

Anyone with any information about the suspect or the incident is asked to call the Rocky Hill Police Department at (860) 258-7640.

during local election To the Editor:

It is a new day in Newington because you, the voters, have spoken.

Thank you for believing in Newington and for believing in Roy, Tim, Gail, Beth, Dave and me. It is an honor and a pleasure to represent you and your family.

I look forward to working on your behalf and to ensuring that Newington always remains the community we can all be proud of. I look forward to helping move Newington forward with the help of both Republican and Democratic members of the Town Council.

A special thank you to my husband, Rich, my children and grandchildren who have graciously shared me with all of you over the last 30 years. They

have understood the missed ball games and missed dinners and get my passion and commitment to keeping Newington a place we all want to call home.

I am so proud of our community and so proud of the people of Newington for listening and paying attention.

To Chris Banach, Scott Soares, David Wemett, Kevin Borrup and Kent Stoddard, it is never easy to lose, I know that, too!

What is most important is that you had the courage to run for an elective office, to care enough to want to make a difference for the town of Newington. I hope each and everyone of you will run again because Newington needs people like all of you.

NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

OBITUARY Timothy Vincent Keyes

Theodore Randich, a Newington resident and senior at Clark University, takes in a view while hiking the Appalachian Trail this summer.

Newington resident shares observations of his summer Appalachian exploration

NEWINGTON — Theodore Randich, a Clark University senior from Newington, shared observations from his summer project, “Exploring Perceptions of Space on the Appalachian Trail and Beyond,” last week during the University’s Fall Fest academic showcase. Randich’s project was funded through Clark’s Liberal Education and Effective Practice (LEEP) initiative.

Randich spent from March to August hiking the 2,189 miles of the Appalachian Trail, and blogging about it for The Greater Worcester Land Trust. Since his return to campus, he’s participated in an oratorical contest, led public dialogue sessions on the topic of “space,” and presented a poster about his project.

“Based on my first week back at Clark, I think that it’s apparent that pretty much every experience I have now will be sub-consciously reflected on my five months on the trail,” wrote Randich. “I’ve already had opportunities to apply things I learned on the trail, such as patience and persistence, to real-life.”

Something will happen here that reminds me of that one moment in Tennessee where something else happened — and the intersection of those two

experiences illuminates a new idea,” he wrote. “It’s actually pretty fun, never knowing when you’re going to find out something else you learned but never fully understood.”

Liberal Education and Effective Practice (LEEP) is Clark’s bold effort to advance liberal education. It intentionally links a deep and integrated undergraduate curriculum with opportunities to put knowledge into practice in order to prepare our students for remarkable careers and purposeful, accomplished lives.

This is the fourth consecutive summer that Clark University students have been able to pursue funded and directed problem-based summer projects. The projects—several of which are hosted by Clark alumni—offer real-world application of course material and provide an opportunity to engage with professionals outside of the University. LEEP Projects also enable students to develop marketable skills, and focus on five characteristics the University refers to as LEEP Learning Outcomes.

This year, 122 undergraduates received funding through Clark’s LEEP initiative to pursue projects ranging from international social action initiatives to internships

with leading corporations. LEEP Fellows are expected to devote approximately 150 hours to their LEEP Project and participate in workshops on professionalism and project management. LEEP Fellows complete a written reflection upon completion of their experience and share results with the Clark community in one of the University’s annual undergraduate student research showcases.

“LEEP Fellows are able to explore, in depth, topics about which they are passionate, to integrate their skills and knowledge, and to solve complex problems through creative thinking, collaboration and persistence,” said Vickie Cox-Lanyon, assistant director of the LEEP Center.

“Advisors from Clark’s LEEP Center, faculty mentors, Clark alumni and organizational partners work to ensure that each student maximizes his or her opportunity.”

At Clark, Randich is a member of the Public Entertainment Committee (P.E.C.), the Scarlet (student newspaper) and the Clark University Geography Association (CUGA). He is also the recipient of a Presidential Scholarship.

Randich is a 2012 graduate of Newington High School.

T imothy V incent Keyes, 58, of Canton died in the comfort of his home on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015, surrounded by his loving family and dearest friends. He was the beloved husband of Maureen Manzin Keyes. A man who will be missed by many, his bright blue eyes will continue to shine and his boisterous laugh will echo in his loved ones’ memories forever. Son of the late Vincent DeSales Keyes and Marguerite (Grennan) Keyes, Tim was raised in Newington, with his four siblings and a neighborhood full of boys who became lifelong friends. A graduate of Newington High School, Tim spent his life always taking pride and finding satisfaction in his work, both professionally and at home. He was a loyal employee to the CT Department of Transportation, Urban Engineering, Johnson Controls, the City of New Haven, and Blue Back Square. His true joy came from time with friends, family, and dogs. Strong, stoic, and stubborn; he lived his life without competition and on his terms. Tim lived for simple pleasures: a walk with his dogs, Java and Jack, a cruise on his Harley, a day at the beach, or mini golf and ice cream with his grandchildren.

Tim and Maureen spent much time traveling; he marveled at the beauty of Southern California, the mountains of Wyoming, and the sands of the Gulf.

He never complained

and was always thinking of others above himself.

He taught by example what true friendship and love looks like. He was a man who never showed anything other than kindness, humility, and integrity. Above all, he was a kind and devoted husband, father, and grandfather.

He will be forever missed by his wife Maureen, and her family, daughters, Lauren Manzin and Michael We c k e n m a n and their son, Joseph, and Alexandra Manzin and Sean McNeill. His legacy will live forever in the memories of his daughters, Cristin and Michael Flannery, and Elizabeth Keyes. His grandchildren, Grace and Ryan Flannery will cherish their time with such a wonderfully goofy Papa.

Tim leaves behind much beloved family: siblings Colleen Love, Sheila Bolduc, Ellen Kinney, and John Keyes. He also leaves countless friends and extended family, including Carol Listro Keyes. His family would like to thank Dr. Peter Schauer and the staff at Oncology Associates in Avon.

He will be laid to rest in St. Ann’s Cemetery, Avon. Memorial contributions may be made to Dog Star Rescue (www. dogstarrescue.org).

Report: Many students not emotionally ready for college

Freshmen have difficult time dealing with added stress

By JOHNNY J. BURNHAM STAFF WRITER

NEW BRITAIN — While in high school, students often go on about how they can’t wait to get to college, can’t wait for the independence that comes with it, and that they look forward to embracing its challenges.

But for many, that appears to be nothing more than chatter. A joint report released recently by the JED Foundation, the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, and the Jordan Porco Foundation indicates that college students simply are not emotionally prepared for their first year away at school.

Central Connecticut State University senior Lauren Andreoli, remembering back three-plus years, said that college was a whole new world from high school. She admitted there was some added stress and that it did take a little time to fully get into the swing of college life, but ultimately she was able to figure things out pretty quickly.

“It is a transition,” she said. But whether one is able to overcome the additional stress, she said, “really depends on the person.”

On a national level, according to the report, student anxiety came about due to increased pressures such as paying for college expenses, making new friends, keeping in touch with family and friends not

at their college, and being independent for the first time. Each was reported as being “extremely or very challenging,” and nearly half of students (45 percent) felt that “it seems like everyone has college figured out but me.”

That isn’t the case for CCSU freshman Victoria Protsyk.

“It’s just been very exciting,” she said. Protsyk spent one semester studying in her home country of Ukraine before enrolling at Central Connecticut State this fall. Her trick, she added, is the fact that she

has been preparing herself mentally and emotionally since she was a young girl, and watching her mother (who has a doctorate) effectively manage her work and home schedule certainly helped.

“I think I’ve always known how to manage my time,” she said, adding that a key is to not procrastinate.

Jesseme Robinson said a successful transition to college involves a social component as well.

“You have to be able to make friends, to socialize and to also be able to communicate with your

our kids the coping mechanisms and well-rounded life skills that lead to a productive and successful experience after high school,” Matt Riley, COO of the Jordan Porco Foundation, said. “We must also concentrate on teaching our kids how to deal with life’s inevitable adversities before they face them with complete independence.”

Jordan Porco, who was born in Hartford, committed suicide when he was a college freshman at age 18. The Porco Foundation is dedicated to suicide awareness and prevention.

The report states that the majority of students (87 percent) said that during high school there was more emphasis on being academically ready rather than emotionally ready for college, and 50 percent said their independent living skills need improvement. The survey data showed that most students felt “a great deal of pressure” to attend a well-known college and agreed that their high schools placed greater emphasis on college prestige than “fit”.

Almost a third of students nationally polled reported regularly consuming drugs or alcohol during their first term. Specifically, these students were more likely than non-regular drug/alcohol users to rate their emotional health worse than their peers and experience negative emotions such as stress, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed.

“Transitions – from middle to high school, and high school to college – are danger points for kids and stress and substance use, and we urge parents to be particularly attentive and communicative at these times,” Sean Clarkin, director of Strategy and Programs for the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, said. “Given that 20 percent of students said they used drugs or alcohol when stressed or overwhelmed in high school, the potential escalation of these behaviors in college is concerning.”

College students are much more likely to turn to friends (76 percent) or family members (64 percent) than university staff (24 percent), according to the report. However, a large majority of students (65 percent) said they keep their feelings about the difficulty of college to themselves.

professors in class. The people who seem to have a hard time are the ones that aren’t able to do that,” Robinson, a CCSU senior who began his college days at Western Connecticut State University, said.

He added that once you head off to college, success is on the shoulders of each individual.

“You have to be able to make it independently and you have to know how to manage your time,” he said.

Andreoli said that pushing yourself in high school is a good way to prepare for the academic rigors of college.

Stress, the survey indicates, is a common theme among first-year college students. What is concerning, however, is the fact that 50 percent of students reported feeling stressed most or all of the time and 36 percent did not feel as if they were in control of managing the stress of day-to-day college life.
