Rocky Hill residents exposed to rabid animals; undergo preventative treatment By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Keep your pets inside at night and don’t approach animals acting strangely. These are measures the Central Connecticut Health District is asking local residents to take after two rabid skunks were captured in the towns of Berlin and Rocky Hill last Thursday. “Rabid animals can be very aggressive and that’s why you want to keep your distance when Volume 53, No. 36

you can,” said CCHD Director Paul Hutcheon. Both incidents occurred last Thursday and the three residents exposed to the rabid animals are now undergoing post-exposure treatment — a series of injections over a 14-day period that include one dose of immune globulin and four doses of rabies vaccine. “In both cases there wasn’t any provoking of the animal; they came upon it quite suddenly unbeknownst to them,” added Hutcheon. In Rocky Hill, the husband and wife exposed were walking in the Copper Beech Drive apartment complex when they stumbled See CCHD, Page 10

Escapes, executions and more in focus at former prison grounds tour By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
It’s hard to imagine that the picturesque Cove Park — the site of many community events, including Wethersfield High School’s Commencement — was once home to Connecticut State Prison. There were 73 prisoners laid to rest underneath that ground and a single stone marker denotes their memory, so their presence is often unbeknownst to park visitors and those conducting business at the adjacent State
Department of Motor Vehicles facility. But after the Wethersfield Historical Society led tour groups though the former prison grounds Tuesday evening, about 100 more people are now aware of what many residents once considered to be Old Wethersfield’s pride and joy. “The prison was a wonderful thing to have; it gave Wethersfield the water line, electricity … Erica Schmitt | Staff they got free maintenance for The Wethersfield Department of the town because it was here,” Motor Vehicles, the former site of See FORMER, Page 4

Rocky Hill student, musician selected for National Concert Band
Northwest Catholic junior Justin Drisdelle of Rocky Hill has been selected as a member of the 2013 NAfME All-National Honor Concert Band sponsored by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). Drisdelle, a trumpet player, will join more than 670 of the most musically talented and skilled high school students in the United States to perform at a gala concert Oct. 30 in Nashville, Tenn. “Justin has worked diligently and is certainly deserving of this honor,” says Daniel Luddy ’03,
Northwest Catholic’s Director of Instrumental Music. “It will be a unique opportunity to meet, rehearse, and perform with some of the top high school musicians in the country, and I know that Justin is up to the challenges and demands of the literature to be performed.” Drisdelle, who has been playing trumpet since he joined the Future Musicians program in 4th grade at Corpus Christi School in Wethersfield, is excited for the opportunity for play in the All-National Honor Concert

Building Loretta’s dream
By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS Kimberly Marakovits, a fourth-year medical student at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, has received the JoAnne Peringer Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded each year to honor Pieringer, an outstanding PCOM educator, researcher, and community advocate. This scholarship is awarded to a student who exemplifies Dr. Pieringer’s traits, including intellectual curiosity and concern for others within and beyond the PCOM community, and demonstrates a strong interest in scientific research. Marakovits is a native of Rocky Hill. She graduated from Boston College with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in neuroscience. Braelyn Grimes of Wethersfield has been named to the spring dean’s list at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.
Construction is nearing completion on a pavilion in Mill Woods Park made possible through the fundraising efforts of the Loretta’s Dream Foundation. The structure honors the memory of the late Loretta Nakos Pemble, a Wethersfield resident and landscape architect. Before she passed away of breast cancer in 2005, her dream was for her family and friends to create something to remember her by that would benefit her community. The pavilion will serve as a place for sports teams, families and community groups to enjoy picnics, concerts and other outdoor events, while also giving those who miss Loretta a place to visit in her memory.

Former prison was economic boon for town, some say Wethersfield Historical Society Administrator & Collections Manager Rachel Zilinski said. Businesses and residents in the surrounding village benefited directly. The Hart Seed Co., for example, employed inmates by giving them produce to both eat and can in the cannery, one of the prison’s only structural remnants, now serving as a warehouse for the State Surplus Center. When the infamous flood of 1936 wreaked havoc in town — lifting the Cove Warehouse up into swirling floodwaters — prisoners put it back on its foundation,

where it still sits. Kids in the surrounding neighborhoods even played baseball with prisoners. Historian John Winiarski was fortunate enough to catch a ball thrown over the prison wall when he was a 12-year-old boy growing up in the surrounding neighborhood. “He gave it to me; it was really neat,” remembered Winiarski, who imparted his tales during Tuesday’s tours, which drew such strong interest people were put on a waiting list. Although inmates had a much closer connection to the community than they might nowadays, it wasn’t all good fun. An execution house was built in 1894 and 55 men were hung, 18 more electrocuted there. Following prisoner escapes — some more successful than others — anyone with a home on Hartford Avenue was alerted and asked to check their barns for fleeing fugitives. One once fled by speedboat on the waters of the Wethersfield Cove, the town’s inlet into the Connecticut River. Tour guides passed out aerial

Regulators begin review of massive gas plan By STEPHEN SINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW BRITAIN — Familyowned heating oil businesses and Connecticut’s three regulated utilities squared off Tuesday as the state began a weeklong series of hearings to determine who will pay for an ambitious multimillion-dollar plan to connect about 280,000 new customers to natural gas. One small business owner told regulators that the joint proposal by Connecticut’s “natural gas monopolies” will siphon off customers and have a “grave impact” on her family business. Anthony Marone, senior vice president of business services at United Illuminating, said key dif-
ferences separate the regulated utilities and businesses that operate with no state oversight: “We don’t have the flexibility to charge the price we want to cover some of the main aspects that the oil dealers or the gas association or others need to contend with.” Legislators and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy enacted a law earlier this year authorizing the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to approve a new rate plan to finance the massive 10-year program, which is part of a drive to cut energy costs in Connecticut. Regulators must now determine how the millions of dollars that will be spent to expand the state’s natural gas system will be allo-
cated among utility shareholders, ratepayers, and businesses and individuals signing up for the new service. The proposal comes amid a nationwide boom in natural gas production that has aroused fierce opposition from environmentalists over hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, that’s used to draw gas from the ground. Connecticut Natural Gas, Southern Connecticut Gas and Yankee Gas presented state regulators with a rare joint proposal in June that outlines their plans. Yankee Gas, a subsidiary of Northeast Utilities, said capital spending would be $35 million next year and more than $96 million in 2015 and 2016.

Syrians living in Connecticut say they are appalled by the use of chemical weapons on civilians in Syria, but they disagree over whether the United States should launch an air strike on their homeland. Some support President Obama’s call for a limited air strike, saying it would serve as a deterrent and not lead to another protracted war in the Middle East. But others oppose a strike, saying it won’t work unless it destroys all the chemical weapons, and Syrian President Bashar Assad steps down. Some question whether the Assad regime really is behind the chemical attack, which killed hundreds of civilians Aug. 21. The situation, which is rapidly changing with Russia’s proposal Monday that Syria put its chemical weapons under international control, has Syrians in the state watching closely. Adib Chouiki, of West Haven, who moved to the United States in 1988, supports U.S. military intervention and has been writing and calling his senators to urge them to vote yes on the strike. “The Syrian people are not asking for boots on the ground. All we’re asking for is an air campaign where we destroy his command center and airfield,” Chouiki said. “Then we will destroy his ability to kill his people and his chemical campaign.” The United States not only has a moral obligation to take a stand against the use of chemical weapons, but also needs to stand behind its word or it will be seen as weak, Chouiki said. “Otherwise we are going to be a joke to whole world,” he said. Talal Trabulsi, of Wallingford, a Sunni who moved to the United States in 1997, called Assad the “biggest terrorist in the Middle East.” “This is not only to protect the Syrian people. It’s to protect the world against him using chemical weapons” against other countries, such as Jordan and Israel, he said. “He is not afraid of anyone,” Trabulsi said. “If they don’t stop him now, they will never stop him.” But Najib George Awad, an associate professor of Christian theology at Hartford Seminary, questions the purpose of a strike and warned of its ramifications. “Would the strike guarantee
that the Assad regime would never use chemical weapons against the Syrians?” he said. “We are wagering too much on a risky thing that would lead Assad to more violent action against the strike by using more chemical weapons,” he said. Awad said he favors postponing a strike to buy some time for political negotiations. He said there had been talk of a Geneva II convention that would bring the opposition and the regime to the table and negotiate a possible exit from the bloodshed, he said. The idea would be to put in place a transitional government to bring back stability and stop the civil war. But the regime has continued fighting and that solution seems unlikely now, he said. “We shouldn’t allow the regime to use chemical weapons again by being lenient,” he said. Instead he proposes a diplomatic approach such as pressuring Iran and Russia to help negotiate and ask Assad to step down. “There is not any benefit from the continuation of war. We really need to end that and start maybe finding a more peaceful solution because it will be good for every country in the region,” Awad said. Sossi Derian, of West Hartford, a Christian who left Syria to come to the United States in the 1960s, opposes the air strike. She is not convinced that the Assad regime really is to blame for the chemical attacks and would like to see evidence. She and her family remember a safe and comfortable European-type lifestyle in Syria as Armenian refugees under Assad’s father’s regime. Derian, a member of the West Hartford Citizens for Peace and Justice group, said she thinks the rebels are being supplied by Al-Qaeda and Turkey and worries that the strikes could lead to a protracted conflict. “We’ve got to learn a better way than attacking, attacking, attacking,” Derian said.

Keane Family Picnic of Remembrance sees strong turnout By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
When Wednesday, Sept. 11 rolled around, Wethersfield residents faced solemn memories of the three town men who were killed in the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in 2001. Richard Keane coached Jeffrey Bittner and David Winton in baseball. All three perished at the Twin Towers the very same day. But honoring their memory was a happy occasion this Sunday for family and friends, who did it at a gathering they call the Keane Family Picnic of Remembrance. Held on the expansive Broad Street Green in Old Wethersfield, the annual picnic drew in upward of 1000 people this year. “We had a great turnout; better than in the past. Everybody seemed to be having a very good time,” said Judy Keane, wife of the late Richard Keane and founder of the Keane Memorial Sports Center, a sports and recreation haven for kids in town, located at the Pitkin Community Center on Greenfield Street. There kids can play basketball, use the fitness center, even get help with homework. Two pieces of twisted steel were erected from Ground Zero in past years and are now both in and outside of the community center in honor of victims. The United States Air Force band, Afterburner — made up of Air JUDY KEANE Force servicemen — disbanded after federal funding ceased, so they were unable to make their annual appearance to the Keane Family Picnic this year. But another band: Prelude, did. “They did a fabulous job,” said Keane. “They’re a very experienced

band – everybody seemed to enjoy them.” “I’m always so pleased to see so many people there; it’s nice to know we’ve not been forgotten,” she added The Broad Street Green in Old Wethersfield was the setting Sunday for the Keane Family Picnic of Remembrance, of the picnic. “It’s a nice way to visit which honors the memory of Wethersfield resident Richard Keane, who was killed Sept. 11, 2001. with people you haven’t seen in a long time and a good day for us to stop for a minute and remember what happened.” This Oct. 18-20 the Keane Foundation will hold its annual Cove Side Carnival. The Keane Memorial Sports Center’s Afterschool Program begins Oct. 28. They partnered with the Wethersfield Schools-Parent Council in August to host a Movie on the Green. “It was a wonderful collaboration,” said Keane. “I look forward to doing more of those with other community groups and fulfilling our mission, which is to support children in town and their families.”

Seniors celebrate the end of summer Food insecurity dips in U.S.
Recently members of the Wethersfield Setback Club celebrated the end of summer with an indoor beach party held at Pitkin Park (a.k.a. Pitkin Community Center, Banquet Room). Seniors were treated to a “Poor Man’s Surf and Turf ” luncheon (hot dogs and gold fish crackers). Various beach party games were available. The old favorite game of ring toss was adapted to use hula hoops and safety cones rather than embroidery hoops and soda bottles. Winners were given raffle tickets for a variety of prizes including beach towels and fishing poles. Swim suits were optional for this event, but a few daring souls did appear in two piece outfits (swim trunks and matching shirts). Wethersfield Setback Club is home-based at the Pitkin Community Center on Greenfield Street and is open to all seniors age 55 and over. New members are always welcome, partners are not required, but a spirit for fun is mandatory. Setback games are played every Friday from noon until 3 p.m. Players are asked to arrive around 11:30 a.m. For additional information, contact Joe Mehan at (860) 258-0662.
but rises in Connecticut By ANA RADELAT
CONECTICUTMIRROR
The number of Americans who say they don’t know if they will be able to buy enough healthy food to fight hunger has stabilized, but not in Connecticut, where “food insecurity” has been on the rise. “We distribute 36 tons of food every business day, and we know that it’s still not enough,” said Nancy Carrington, CEO of Connecticut Food Banks, an organization that stocks the state’s food pantries. According to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture report on hunger, the number of Connecticut households who say they don’t have a consistent, dependable supply of food has grown by nearly 6 percent since 2000 — to 13.4 percent in 2012. Only a handful of states, including Mississippi, Nevada and Missouri, had steeper hikes. At 20.9 percent, Mississippi had the highest number of food insecure households, the USDA report said, and North Dakota the lowest, 8.7 percent. Minority households and those headed by women were most likely to be food insecure. Connecticut’s food insecurity figures were still lower last year than the national average of 14.7 percent. But nationally the number of food insecure households jumped in 2008, the beginning of the recession, then stayed fairly level. In Connecticut, there has been a consistent upward trend through the recession, the USDA report said. The report also said that nearly 5 percent of Connecticut households faced “very low food security,” which means that food intake by some household members was reduced, and meals were skipped. Lucy Nolan, executive director of Hartford-based End Hunger Connecticut!, said there are several reasons Connecticut is out of step with the rest of the nation. Connecticut is taking longer than most other states to climb out of the recession, Nolan said. Food stamp recipients are more likely to live in big cities or very rural areas, but in Connecticut, Nolan said, there has been a growth of the program in the suburbs. “That has to do with jobs,” she said. “Last year Connecticut was the worst state in child poverty,” she noted, “and the state also has the biggest gap between rich and poor.”. The state’s small percentage of
very rich people raises its per capita income figure, masking the number of poor in the state, Nolan said. Another reason for Connecticut’s uptick in the number of food insecure people is that, before it recently overhauled its system, the state’s Department of Social Services faced technological problems and a slowdown in processing applications for the food stamp program. “They were overwhelmed with paper,” Nolan said. Carrington, of Connecticut Food Banks, said the state’s high unemployment rate of 8.1 percent has led to higher rates of food insecurity. The national unemployment rate is 7.4 percent. The number of people visiting food banks continues to be high, Carrington said. “It has just not abated. It’s alarming that it just keeps going on,” she said. Carrington said Connecticut’s high cost of living also may contribute to families’ troubles in procuring food. The USDA report said the typical American household spends about $50 per individual each week for food. “When times are bad, rent doesn’t change, utilities don’t change, but you can eat less food,” Carrington said. A report earlier this year by the University of Connecticut’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources said there’s another reason, besides poverty, that some Connecticut families face hunger. The scarcity of markets in some parts of the state that offer a variety of food at fair prices plays a role, as does the availability of public assistance programs and public transportation. Anti-hunger advocates are nervous that food issues may spike this fall because a 13 percent expansion of the food stamp program is slated to end in November. That means that the $145 per month benefit that each individual receives in food stamps in Connecticut would be reduced by $11 a month. A greater threat, the advocates say, is the possibility that Congress will cut the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program, the official name for the food stamp program, even more. This story originally appeared at CTMirror.org, the website of The Connecticut Mirror, an independent nonprofit news organization covering government, politics and public policy in the state.

upon the skunk. In an attempt to run from the animal it chased them and one of the individuals fell, according to police reports. “The wife thought she was bit and they sent her to the hospital; the husband found marks on his leg the next day, so they decided to treat them both as a prophylactic,” Rocky Hill Animal Control Officer Tom Marotto said Tuesday. “You don’t mess around with rabies — you’re not talking just a little sore throat you’re talking dying,” added Marotto, who was the last person to be treated for rabies in Rocky Hill after he was bit 20 years ago. The skunk chased the police officer who responded to this recent incident around the parking lot until he was able to capture him in a recycling bin. “He was a mad little sucker,” Marotto added. “I haven’t seen a skunk that aggressive since I’ve been doing this. People were out there clapping and cheering when they finally caught him.” The very same day a Berlin woman on Kramer Drive was bit while gardening in her backyard. “She thought it was a cat when she looked down and it latched onto her foot,” Berlin Animal Control Officer Jan Lund recounted. Because she went to the hospital immediately she will be fine according to Lund, who cautioned people to vaccinate their pets because upon contact with a rabid animal they have to be sent to a quarantine facility for six months. Signs of rabies infection in both wild and domesticated animals include uncharacteristic excitability, aggressiveness and excessive drooling.

In 2003 Antonio moved to Connecticut and opened Tiberio’s restaurant, which he owned for the next 10 years. Here his guests became familiar with his whole family, as they all became involved in the restaurant named for his father. Antonio is very excited to be opening Gallo Nero.

Orice Jenkins’ soon-to-be-released “Around The Piano,” is a collection of powerful heart-wrenching soul songs, contemporary grooves, and deep-thumping street beats. The singer-songwriter and bandleader hails from Hartford, where his energetic style of R&B is enough to keep up with the heavy metal, gangsta rap, and dubstep that rages through his home state.
