Neighbor to Neighbor challenge chalks up another successful year

Program saved residents an estimated $80K last year By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

A program that collectively brought Wethersfield residents over $80,500 in home energy savings in one year is sticking around and hoping to expand its outreach. The Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge was started in 2011 through a $4.17 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy as part of its BetterBuildings initiative. Sincethen,14townsinConnecticut — including Wethersfield — have urged their residents to participate in reducing the state’s energy consumption by 20 percent by 2013. The opportunities the coalition provides decrease energy consumption and provide more comfortable homes, lower utility bills, lower CO2 emissions, decrease dependence on foreign oil, increase support for the local economy, and foster an understanding of the importance of renewable energy. Since the program infiltrated town two years ago,757 residents have participated in some capacity.For a small price, 163 of them have had energy assessments performed in their homes, when a consultant came in and sealed up air leaks and made recommendations for energy-efficient measures.This saves families $300 to $400 on heat and electricity bills per year. Another option was a free lighting program that reached 111 people, who received high-efficiency light bulbs to replace old bulbs that were draining electricity in their homes. But only 15 residents opted to make appliance upgrades — replacing insulation, heating and cooling systems, or switching to solar power. Because Neighbor to Neighbor just decided to continue its outreach in Wethersfield for one more year, everyone still has the chance to take advantage of some serious money saving options for these upgrades. In fact, Mayor Donna Hemmann has already jumped onboard. Solar company C-Tech recently made a site visit to her home to evaluate the family’s options for solar power installation, and determined the home was a good candidate. “We encourage people to take the next step,” explained Chamae

Munroe,who representsWethersfield in the Neighbor to Neighbor program. “There are really great rebates right now,” she added, citing a one-third price cut on insulation replacement as just one example. And the reason why the program is working for Wethersfield? It has a communityoutreach-basedapproach. People are much more likely to consider a great idea that they hear from a neighbor than one on a piece of “junk” mail from CL&P advertising energy efficiency options. “We were initially only supposed to have outreach for two years but they were able to reallocate funds and extend it for another year, and in this last year we’re focusing on getting more people involved in the program as volunteers,” Munroe explained of the fate of Neighbor-to-Neighbor. “The idea is to have the towns take it over and continue the work,” she added. “It’s the snowball effect; once you get a critical mass it will carry itself along.” Residents can help by joining the Wethersfield Green Summit Committee and educating their friends and neighbors on how to

reduce energy waste in their homes, while assisting in the planning of energy events in town. Since 2011, Wethersfield has accrued points through its participation, which are leading up to some exciting community rewards. The town will have the opportunity to choose from possibilities like community gardens, LED street lights, solar-powered trash compactors in town buildings, even tree planting parties. Although Neighbor-to-Neighbor departs Wethersfield at the end of 2013,the hope is that residents will be energy-savvy enough by then to continue living smarter and “greener.” The easiest way to sign up for the program is to call the Neighbor to Neighbor office at (860) 372-4407 or visit their website:www.ctenergychallenge.com/hes. It is located at 860B Silas Deane Hwy. in Wethersfield. Community groups who would like to get involved, contact Erin O’Neill at (860) 372-4405.

fall in nearby Hartford. Starting this Sunday, Oct. 14, and running every Sunday until Nov. 18, Pratt Street will shut down from noon to 6 p.m. for local food, art and music, in open street fair fashion. “We’ve jumped through hoops to pull this together in such a small time-frame; it’s going to be incredible,”saysJarm.Formoreinformation, visit HartfordHodgePodge.com.

Loyal patrons are so enthusiastic about the farm-fresh goodies, they would probably grin and bear the chilly weather and continue their weekly visit to the outdoor Wethersfield Farmers Market at the Solomon Welles House. But vendors have moved indoors for the remainder of the market season. Last Thursday was the first day this year that the market set up inside the Trinity Episcopal Church on Main Street and also the first rainy market. “It’s funny, we had beautiful weather the whole season and the one day it rains, we’re inside anyway,” laughed Market Master Stephanie Jarm, who picked up two pairs of fuzzy mittens at Thursday’s market. Many of the more than 25 summer vendors — who sell gourmet, locally-grown cheeses, baked good, jellies, relishes, vegetables and fruits, flowers, handmade crafts and natural cosmetics — have moved to the market’s winter home. But there are also a few new coldweather friends offering their treats, like Carol’s Artisan Truffles, which would melt in the hot summer sun. Then there’s Vivian McGarry from Cold Goats Farm in Haddam Neck, who can be found inside the church hall weaving her intricate woolen hats, mittens, and scarves. Although he joined the market mid-summer, visitors may not have had the chance to meet Norfolk resident David Davis, a friendly character who won’t let you buy one of his unique dips, dressings or sauces without taste-testing it first. Originally from England, Davis’ recipes include tart lemon butter, rich “Kentucky Caramel” infused with bourbon, “Amazing Hot Sauce” which boast dates as a secret ingredient and his famous pickles. One visitor bought a jar of these distinctive pickles one day this summer and after making her rounds that afternoon, returned it to Davis — completely empty. His offerings will be available at the indoor market, alongside other popular items. “On our first day, the crowd’s been pretty big,” said Jarm, who, along with fellow Market Master Doug Sacks, was elated to have the most successful market year so far. “It has been amazing,”she added. “I don’t know how we’re going to

This and many other historical details from the 19th century will be examined as the WebbDeane-Stevens Museum, in Wethersfield, offers an up-close and creepy examination of all things funereal during its annual Witches and Tombstones Tours. Due to popular demand, the dates of the tours have been expanded to include two weekends, Oct. 20 and 21 and Oct. 27 and 28. Saturday tours leave from the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum at 10 and 11:30 a.m. and at 1 and 2:30 p.m. Sunday tours leave the Museum at 1 and 2:30 p.m. Cost is $10 per person. Tour space is limited and reservations are strongly recommended. The 90-minute tours begin with tales from the notorious Wethersfield Witch Trials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which preceded the Salem Witch Trials by 30 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the Buttolph-Williams House, home to the characters portrayed in the

Newbery Award-winning book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Witch of Blackbird Pond,â&#x20AC;? by Elizabeth George Speare. In the 1660s a number of Wethersfield women, and at least one man, were accused of witchcraft during a four-year inquisition that included several executions. The second stop on the tour is the Wethersfield Ancient Burying Ground, where, among other grim details, visitors will hear of Connecticutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first mass murder and learn how gravestones warned the living of their own impending peril. Back at the Isaac Stevens House, visitors will step back in time and view a room somberly prepared for a wake, including a prepared coffin, shrouded windows and mirrors, and tansy and rosemary to mask any odors. Guides will explain 19th-century mourning practices, how illnesses were treated in the Isaac Stevens House, and discuss how the living dealt with fears of being buried alive.

Middletown scores early, often; Despite, resounding loss, Eagles fall to 2-2 on the season Eagles showed resilience By KEVIN D. ROBERTS STAFF WRITER

The Middletown football team’s offense has been explosive this season, to say the least. That continued for the Blue Dragons on Friday night in a 41-7 win over Wethersfield at Joseph E. Cottone Field on the campus of Wethersfield High School. Middletown improved to 4-0 while Wethersfield fell to 2-2. The Blue Dragon speed was just to much for the Eagles. Isaiah Thompkins got the scoring started for Middletown with a bruising and blazing 31-yard touchdown run. The extra point was no good, but the Blue Dragons led 6-0 with 7:18 left in the first quarter. Later in the first quarter, quarterback Dario Highsmith hooked up with Jha’kur West for a 42-yard reception, setting up a three-yard scoring run by Thompkins and a 13-0 lead.

Early in the second quarter, West again showed off his gamebreaking speed with an electrifying 77-yard punt return and a touchdown for a 20-0 lead with 11:30 left until halftime. Big plays haunted Wethersfield throughout the first half. “They do a good job,” Eagles coach John Campanello said. “They have some very good skill players, and they came up with some very big plays.” The Blue Dragons made it 27-0 on a five-yard scoring run by Thompkins, his third of the half. Late in the first half, Highsmith connected with speedster O’Brian Sinclair for a 65-yard touchdown on 2nd and 25 for a 34-0 lead. Wethersfield did intercept three of Highsmith’s passes, but the sophomore did hit big plays. Wethersfield’s lone score came late in the fourth quarter when quarterback Zack DeCaro hit Kevin Premto for a 19-yard touchdown.

Whit DeVaux added the extra point, which made the score 41-7 Middletown with 48.6 seconds to play. DeCaro finished 18-of-41 for 166 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Premto led the way with five catches for 59 yards and the score. Greg Schroeder added 48 yards on six receptions. Devon Henry was the leading rusher for the Eagles, but he gained just 36 yards on nine carries. Middletown’s fast defense made it hard for Wethersfield to generate offense throughout the game. Campanello was happy that his team competed until the final whistle, but lamented the mistakes made. “We have a lot of good kids on the team, but we need to be more consistent on offense and defense,” Campanello said. Wethersfield hosts Bristol Central next Friday at 7 p.m.

By KEVIN D. ROBERTS STAFF WRITER

The Eagles may have been outrunned and outgunned in a 41-7 loss to Middletown Friday night at Joseph E. Cottone Field, but they never gave up. Senior running back Ivan Mangual typified that approach. Wethersfield was trailing Middletown 34-0, but had just stopped the Blue Dragons on a fourth down play on the opening series of the third quarter. On a 2nd and 10 from the Middletown 33 on the first Wethersfield possession,Langual caught a pass from senior quarterback Zack DeCaro and fought his way to a 10-yard gain and a first down. Langual came off the field and was screaming, trying to fire his teammates up.The score may have been 34-0,and Wethersfield did end up losing the ball on downs later on the possession, but the heart was still there. “I think the kids were still motivated in the second half,”Eagles coach John Campanello said after the game. It wasn’t effort that hurt Wethersfield, it was mistakes, too many of them. A couple of fumbled snaps on first down pass plays put the Eagles in too big a hole against the fast Blue Dragon defense. On a nice 14-yard pass play in the second quarter, Wethersfield fumbled the ball away, then a personal foul was called on an Eagle coach for coming out onto the field to protest the ruling by the officials, which came after some discussion. That gave the Blue Dragons the ball at the Eagle 28, and they didn’t waste time, taking just five plays to score for a 27-0 lead. Throws that were up for grabs were caught by Middletown receivers instead of Wethersfield defenders. The Eagles did have three interceptions, but Blue Dragon quarterback Dario Highsmith still made a couple big plays that hurt. Then there were penalties at inopportune times that set the Eagles back. In a game against a high-powered opponent, Wethersfield couldn’t afford to make mistakes. “Coming into this game, we had to be perfect to stand a chance,” Campanello said.“We made some mistakes that hurt us.” The Eagles, however, didn’t give up. Trailing 41-0 late in the fourth quarter, Wethersfield mounted one last drive. Runs of 8, 3 and 9 yards by senior running back Devon Henry moved the ball from the Eagle 36 to the Blue Dragon 44. After a four-yard loss on a 2nd and 1 run, DeCaro found senior wide receiver Greg Schroeder for seven yards and a first down. On the next play,DeCaro hit Schroeder for seven yards,then a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty was tacked on, which moved the ball to the Middletown 19. After an incompletion, DeCaro hit senior tight end Kevin Premto in the flat and Premto ran it in for a 19-yard touchdown with 48.6 seconds to play in the game. Junior Whit DeVaux’s extra point made it 41-7. The touchdown may seem insignificant in a game that Middletown controlled from early in the first quarter,but the score was the first given up by the Blue Dragon defense this season. “It was nice to get in there at the end,”Campanello said. Middletown has outscored its four opponents 176-7. Wethersfield tries to get back on track next Friday at home against Bristol Central (2-2).The Rams beat Fermi 42-14 on Friday night at Fermi High School. FREE EXAMS

Bowl-O-Rama fundraiser to benefit veterans nonprofit By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

An area business owner is stepping up once again to show his support for veterans. Francis “Rip” Callahan has owned BowlO-Rama, 2143 Berlin Turnpike, Newington, for over 53 years and many area veterans frequent his lanes for a good time at an even better price. That’s why Callahan offered to host a bowl-a-thon fundraiser for the fourth year in a row for VETS LINK, a Hamden-based nonprofit that provides hands-on financial mentoring, job entrepreneurship and housing opportunities for veterans across the state. It’s not easy to convince a bowling alley to host such an event these days, since most are chains owned by corporations — not family-owned like Bowl-O-Rama, which Callahan’s parents opened on the Berlin WHAT: Vets Link 4th Annual Bowl-a-Thon Turnpike in 1959.

Officials break ground on housing International Institute of complex for homeless, low-income vets Cosmetology set for 10th graduation ceremony By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER

Officials welcomed the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs to Newington Wednesday to celebrate the turning of a new leaf for low-income and homeless veterans around the state. Both state legislators and economic development officials attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Victory Gardens, a 74-unit supportive housing complex now in construction on the grounds of the VA Hospital off of Willard Avenue. One of the first five housing projects in the nation to be developed under the VA Enhanced Use Lease initiative, the project reclaims underutilized VA land and buildings for affordable housing aimed at combating veteran homelessness. Newington Mayor Steve Woods, joined by a handful of town councilors, was among the first to speak at Wednesday afternoon’s ceremony. “Welcome to Newington,”he said, addressing the crowd of American Legion members and Veterans of

Foreign Wars, town residents, and representatives from the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority,VA, and Women’s Institute for Housing and Economic Development, which the VA partnered with to develop the project. “We look forward to a wonderful long-term relationship with this community,”Woods added. Victory Gardens will be comprised of seven townhouses to accommodate 40 one-bedroom, 22 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom apartments with priority given to low-income and veteran families. Special consideration will be given to those that are homeless or at risk for homelessness. “We are weary of war and we are challenged by fiscal obscurity,” Senator Richard Blumenthal said at Wednesday’s ceremony, “but this is the very least we can do for people who have given themselves,” he continued. “We owe them so much and this project is the beginning of keeping faith with them.” WhentheVeteransAdministration first brought their plan to town,

concerns from Newington residents and town officials were many — based in how the needs of the new residents would affect the town atlarge. Questions were raised about how many children would be attending Newington schools, the impact on Willard Avenue traffic, and how support services would be provided to the individuals that move in. But Laurie Harkness, director of recovery services with the VA Health care System, has worked to alleviate these fears. Harkness estimates no more than 25 percent of the housing to be comprised of families with children. And because the complex will be built on Newington’s VA Hospital campus, that means the new residents will be provided with all the services the hospital offers. This includes use of its Chrysalis Center, which offers 24/7 mental health services that promote self-sufficiency and independence.

For more than two decades, the name Gugliotti has signified prestige in the world of hair and beauty. Carmelo Gugliotti opened his first salon in the heart of Hartford’s Little Italy in 1988. In the years since, Gugliotti formed the International Institute of Cosmetology (IIC), with locations in Wethersfield and Plainville. The program affords aspiring stylists the opportunity to learn from the industry’s best. On Oct. 21, the school will hold its latest graduation ceremony consisting of more than 100 students. “This marks our school’s 10th graduation ceremony and we’re proud to be training some of the best and brightest students in this field,” said Dean of Students Martin Gugliotti. “This program is truly the Ivy League of hair design.” IIC has expansive programs ranging from a 1500-hour program that provides students the foundation to become a formidable hairstylist. There’s a 300-hour skin care, aesthetician program and five-week curriculum offering instruction in the foundations of makeup. The week prior to the graduation, IIC will host Italian world champion hairdresser, Tindaro Orifici from Germany, as well as Cian Moore and Sandra

MERIDEN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republican Linda McMahon and Democrat Rep. Chris Murphy talk a lot about their dueling plans to increase jobs as they seek votes in a tight race for Connecticutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open U.S. Senate seat. But many of their ideas have been floated by others during this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign season, and it is doubtful their entire proposals would become law after either is elected Connecticutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new junior U.S. senator. Like Murphy, Rep. Shelley Berkley, the Democratic Senate candidate in Nevada, says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;fighting to rebuild Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing base while ending unfair loopholes and taxpayer

giveaways that encourage U.S. companies to ship jobs overseas.â&#x20AC;? And like McMahon, state Sen. Joe Kyrillos, the Republican Senate candidate from New Jersey, promises he will work to â&#x20AC;&#x153;cut taxes on job-creatorsâ&#x20AC;? and lower the federal corporate tax rate from 35 to 25 percent. Other Democratic Senate candidates across the U.S. have joined Murphy in pitching renewable energy, education and job training, and reinvesting in infrastructure as ways to add jobs. Meanwhile, other Republican Senate candidates back McMahon in pushing to extend the President George W. Bush-era tax cuts for wealthier individuals, saying now is not the time to raise taxes on anyone.

Library gives thanks for ‘food for Fines’ support

Dutch Point Credit Union helps fight breast cancer

The Dutch Point Credit Union launched breast cancer awareness month with an employee bake sale and dress down day in an effort to raise money for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk of Hartford Oct. 21 Several employees cooked food and baked goods for an employee bake sale Oct. 4. There were a wide range of food options available from apples to pulled pork with a suggested donation listed. In addition to the bake sale, staff wore pink shirts and jeans for a minimum donation of $5.00 to the walk. The oneday event helped raise $350.00 toward their Making Strides Against Breast Cancer team. They will continue their efforts to raise even more money throughout the weeks to come. The walk on Oct. 21, fuels the fight to end breast cancer. The American Cancer Society will be using the money to invest in breast cancer research to find, prevent, treat, and cure the disease. Dutch Point Credit Union has been participating in this walk for the past eight years. This walk has special meaning for so many cancer survivors and family members affected by the disease. As a third generation, 16-year cancer survivor, I am so appreciative of all the work that continues to go on for this cause said Elizabeth Gosse, administrative assistant at Dutch Point Credit Union. For more information on Dutch Point Credit Union s effort to support causes like these, please visit www. dutchpoint.org or call Barbara at (860) 257-5203.

To the editor: The staff of the Wethersfield Public Library wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the members of the community who support our “Food for Fines” program during the months of July and August. We were able to collect over 3,000 non-perishable food items from you in lieu of accepting fines for overdue materials. These items have all been turned over to the Town’s Social Services Department for distribution to those in need. Typically we think of the Food Bank during the holidays, but it needs to be replenished all year long. We are pleased this idea was so well-received. Thank you again!
