A note to our readers
After 53 years, the Wethersfield and Rocky Hill Post is no more — at least for now. “Due to changing readership interests, the publication really could not be sustained economically,” said Publisher Michael Schroeder. “A good paper put out by an excellent staff just wasn’t enough.” There is a possibility that the paper may be revived in the future, perhaps as an online-only
product. In the meantime, subscribers will receive the neighboring town’s weekly newspaper, the Newington Town Crier, in the mail as fulfillment of their subscriptions. The Town Crier will include some news and features of the Wethersfield/Rocky Hill area. Advertisers and readers may call (860) 2254608 with questions.

Sister cities
Mayor of Nagoya, Japan, welcomed with ceremony at Keeney Center By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Wethersfield has a Japanese sister. Her name is Nagayo, and she lives in southern Japan near Nagasaki. She’s older than Wethersfield by more than 400 years, but the two have a lot of similarities. That was confirmed Wednesday by Wethersfield Mayor Donna Hemmann and Nagayo Mayor Shinichi Yoshida, who drew comparisons at a welcome ceremony Volume 53, No. 41

for Nagayo officials at the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center. Their sister city relationship was established about 20 years ago when Lee Erdmann was Wethersfield’s Town Manager and he represented the town on a visit to the small city. Since then there have been many visits. Town Councilor Gerri Roberts met the town’s delegation back in 2008 and then in 2010, Susan Kopecki, an art teacher at Highcrest Elementary School, spent a few days in Nagayo. Upon her return she established a Japanese Club at the school to foster a relationship between students of both cities. After this week’s visit, both Wethersfield and Nagayo officials agree an exchange program is the See SISTER, Page 5

We’re off to see the scarecrows, the wonderful Scarecrows on Main By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Fairy tale heroes, animated film characters and those that came straight out of the imaginations of local people have taken up residence in Old Wethersfield this month. It’s the 18th Annual Scarecrows on Main Competition, and there are now upwards of 30 creatures all along Main Street and in the surrounding neighborhoods.
“I walk every morning with a friend and we just love it,” said Billye Logan, who has lived in Old Wethersfield for over 40 years. “My grandchildren come from out of town every year to see it, too,” she added.

Wethersfield students win in a walk By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Two weeks ago Wethersfield kids showed up all others across the state. With over 1,000 walking and biking to school the morning of Oct. 9, the town had the highest levels of participation in National Walk/Bike to School Day out of all Connecticut school districts. Now parents and school officials are looking into what federal funding is available through the Department of Transportation’s
Safe Routes to School program, to keep the streets and sidewalks safe for students who continue exercising their legs. The program provides both infrastructure and education improvements to school districts. Wethersfield resident and parent Martha Conneely, chairwoman of the Wethersfield Schools Parent Council, addressed the Town Council at its last meeting. She encouraged town officials to consider doing all they could

to help families find safe routes to school. “The most obvious and immediate thing that can be done within the power of town government is to make sure sidewalks are properly maintained and safe,” she told councilors. The WSPC estimated that about 70 percent of the student bodies at all five elementary schools participated in the recent walking event. The group is now writing an application to begin the process of creating a master plan for the community with the help of DOT officials. It will identify how many kids in town walk, bike and ride in a vehicle to school, as well as where the town’s weaknesses and strengths lie in terms of the walkability and bikeability of neighborhoods. Once it’s compiled, the plan will open the door to opportunities for free pedestrian safety workshops for Wethersfield families.
DOT engineers can then also come in to do a walk audit, to analyze the routes kids take and make recommendations to improving them. “We hope within six months we’ll be able to have the walk audit done and be looking to identify educational programs they might be able to bring to our schools and possible funding projects,” Conneely said. The DOT will fund up to 80 percent of any approved project, whether it be a crosswalk,
increased signage in a hightraffic area, or some other safety improvement. “What we would hope is there is something on our to-do-list in Wethersfield they identify, because it would be amazing to partner with the DOT,” she added. “That way they could share the cost of something we were planning on doing ourselves.” Erica Schmitt can be reached at (860) 225-4601, ext. 210, or eschmitt@newbritainherald.com.

An 18th Century Thanksgiving at Webb-Deane museum The Great Molasses Shortage of 1705? Prudence Sloane adds fun to bill of fare at 18th Century Thanksgiving Dinner at the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum Connecticut Yankees have always taken pumpkin pie pretty seriously — especially at Thanksgiving — according to culinary educator, food journalist and TV chef Prudence Sloane. When the Connecticut River froze early in the fall of 1705, creating what might have been called The Great Molasses Shortage of 1705, the leaders of Colchester postponed Thanksgiving until enough of the precious brown goo could be shipped in for the requisite pies. Sloane will expand on this delicious topic, and share other Thanksgiving gastronomic
tidbits and trivia during her presentations at the third 18th Century Thanksgiving Dinner at the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum Nov. 17, from noon till 3 p.m. Dressed in period clothing, Mr. and Mrs. Silas Deane will host the authentic Thanksgiving feast for up to 130 guests. Dinner will be preceded by a wine reception with light fare and 18th century music in the musicians’ gallery. Guests can explore the Silas Deane House and engage the Deanes and Sloane in conversation before dinner. Shortly before 1 p.m., a servant will ring the dinner bell and invite the guests to the Webb Barn for dinner. Prior to the first course and again at dessert, Sloane will give entertaining presentations on table manners,
foods, cooking and recipes of the New World in the 18th century. Planned by a food historian, the authentic menu will include dishes typically served at Thanksgiving in the 1700s: venison pie, roasted goose and turkey, chine of pork, pottage of cabbage, leeks and onions, puddings and several vegetables, and, of course, pies of pumpkin and apple. Tickets for the 18th Century Thanksgiving Dinner are $85 per person, and include the wine and hors d’oeuvres reception, 18th century music and an optional tour of the three historic homes at the museum following the event.

best way to move forward. “Right now we have communication between the schools and we want to enhance that relationship,” Yoshida said at Wednesday’s reception. “When we send our students to this community they’ll grow physically and mentally and their experiences will be a great stimulus to their intellectual growth,” he added. “I want them to learn more about the U.S. through their experiences in Wethersfield.” Although the Mayor didn’t speak English, he was accompanied by translators. “I’m very impressed with the town’s environment; it’s very peaceful and quiet here and people are so friendly,” said Akihito Ishikawa, president of the Nagayo International Association and a capable translator for the mayor. In discussing the towns’ similarities, he compared Nagasaki and Nagayo to Hartford and Wethersfield in terms of size and proximity. “The emphasis on education and cultural things is alike,” he added. Mayor Hemmann agreed. “Education is a big focus in both of our communities,” she said Wednesday. “They have an
aging population and are looking to develop their youth, as are we. They have similar economic development issues and an active farming community that’s also in decline.” While those are very basic comparisons she could also point out more obscure likenesses, like the fact that Nagayo also has a volunteer fire department. “They have 250 volunteer firemen; we have about 100,” said Hemmann. Since Nagayo has a population of 42,500 and Wethersfield — 26,500 — the size of their fire departments is almost proportional. Nagayo’s delegation not only had the chance to experience the historic charm of Old Wethersfield during their visit this week, but also toured the State Capitol and met Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman. Before they left Mayor Hemmann presented them with an honorary sign designating Elm Street “Nagayo Way.” If they ever happen to visit Nagayo, Wethersfield residents would be pleased to also find a Wethersfield Way.

GOP showed poor judgment on graduation day To the Editor: It is time for Donna Hemmann and John Cascio to go. Neither has the dedication or judgment needed for these tough times. Republicans Hemmann and Cascio display the same bad judgment as their Washington, D.C., House counterparts. Consider this year’s botched high school graduation. It was clear that we were in for a thunderstorm. After diplomas were distributed, rather than move to addresses by
the Class President, Salutatorian and Valedictorian, Wethersfield Republican politicians clung to top billing. Hemmann turned out to be a no-show, so a graduate got up and read her speech, a tedious salute to Dr. Seuss. Amazingly, it was the same speech she gave in 2010! As the sky over the Cove became black, oblivious to audience jeers to yield, Cascio went forward with rambling remarks, punctuated by flat humor that morphed into weather jokes as
the student speakers nervously watched lightning strikes in the distance. When the sky finally opened up, Cascio stopped and the graduation was declared over. The audience never heard from their student speakers. All it would have taken was the judgment to put themselves after the kids. We must do much better than this in November, Wethersfield.

Wethersfield’s oldest funeral home was one of five in the state to receive national honors recently.

Both locations were among five to earn the 2013 Pursuit of Excellence Award from the National Funeral Directors Association. “The Pursuit of Excellence Award is the National Funeral Directors Association’s premier standard for quality service and is a mark of distinction in funeral service,” said John Cascio, executive director of the Connecticut Funeral Directors Association, which is based in Wethersfield. “This program recognizes funeral homes that demonstrate superior standards, community involvement, and professional accomplishment,” added Cascio, who also serves as chairman of the Wethersfield Board of Education.

Awards were issued to a total of 153 funeral homes across the country that demonstrate similar community involvement and proficiency in key areas of funeral service, while also providing ongoing education and professional development opportunities for staff and bereavement programs.

Walsh Goldsmiths and Dana Spicer from Heart of the Country. Aside from the annual event’s whimsical appeal, it also benefits local business. Visitors who come to check out the scarecrows every year end up patrons of the shops, restaurants and museums sprinkled throughout the village. “There have been a lot of people down here walking around, which is the goal of the event — bringing people to Old Wethersfield to see what’s here,” Spicer said. An anonymous judge finished evaluating the originality and workmanship of scarecrows Wednesday. They will be judged in five categories: youth under 14, youth ages 15-19, families, individuals 17 and older, and businesses or organizations. First and second place winners will be awarded prizes at an Awards Party next Thursday, Oct. 24, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. inside the Webb Barn, where participants will be treated with pizza and refreshments.

Curriculum Night packs gym of CREC Aerospace academy
ROCKY HILL — Families trickled into the gym of the new CREC Academy of Aerospace & Engineering recently in Rocky Hill. Families were invited to a special Curriculum Night, hosted by staff and administration at the school to share plans for the upcoming school year. The packed room was evidence of the excitement and energy about the new school, which opened its doors for the first time in a temporary facility, a retrofitted office building on Brook Street. The evening began in the gym-
nasium where parents heard about the school curriculum, specials, and the STEM theme, including an overview of how the school will implement the Common Core State Standards. Parents were then invited to visit classrooms, where they were able to meet with teachers, see their child’s spaces, learn the classroom routine, and observe some of the things their children have been working on. Teachers echoed the whirlwind of excitement during those first days. “We came together to make it happen,” said Dave Lazicki, the
gym teacher at the Academy. “It feels like we have been a team much longer than a couple months,” Lazicki said of the staff at the school. A portion of the staff had previously worked for other CREC school programs, although most were new to the district. “CREC had a great reputation,” said Sarah Mangiafico, Literacy Coach in her first year with CREC. “I had attended workshops at CREC, and I knew CREC as being the place with all the information.” Despite being new to the district,
she was confident that the CREC team would be able to pull the school together and deliver a high quality product to families. The school’s theme is the STEM disciplines, science, technology, engineering, and math. Even the school’s youngest learners are already being exposed to STEM vocabulary and equipment. “STEM is integrated across the curriculum thanks to the hard work of all the teachers,” explained the school’s STEM Coach, Dr. Jan Mooney-Frank. “We are lucky to have the tools and technology to
allow for STEM learning throughout the school.” Each classroom has its own cart of iPads, a Smart Board, and other laptop and STEM technology. The Academy of Aerospace & Engineering Elementary School was a planned expansion of CREC’s 6-12 grade school by the same name. The elementary school currently enrolls 221 students in PreK age 3, PreK age 4, and Kindergarten classrooms. Over the course of the next five years, the school will expand to include Grades 1 through 5.

At 14, he attended culinary school in Amalfi and spent the following two years apprenticing at five-star hotels in Maiori and Capri. Barbi spent the next few years gaining experience in Italy, England, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands and Bermuda. He returned to the Netherlands to take the job as head chef of a new Italian restaurant, La Gondola. It was here that the Italian consul discovered his extraordinary talent and hired him as

During this time Barbi and a partner opened two award-winning restaurants in Rotterdam called, Due Tonino and Andrea Doria. 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. Joining him is creative and talented chef Ajay Birchall and a great team of chefs and cooks. Put that together with a knowledgeable, professional wait staff and an elegant, contemporary atmosphere, and Gallo Nero offers an exceptional dining experience.

ART EXHIBIT: Photographs by Wethersfield resident Marissa Ocasio are on display at the Library. This exhibit presents the photographic journey of a citizen who lived in downtown Manhattan on September 11, 2001 and who went out that afternoon and subsequent days to capture the scenes on the streets surrounding the World Trade Center. Ocasio, who lived and worked in Manhattan in 2001, found herself without power or phone service, but she had several cameras loaded with film so she took to the streets. She was able to capture images before streets were cordoned off and people were not allowed in certain places. These moving photographs will be on display during the month of October.
