Astrology Society holding New Age Fair at Keeney Center By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Legend and deep history reign over the quaint Old Wethersfield, so it makes perfect sense that a mysterious organization calls the village home for its monthly meetings and special events. A supernatural aura swirled around the walls inside the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center this past weekend, with the Connecticut Astrological Society taking over the top floor for one of its quarterly fairs. New visitors to a “New Age Fair” might expect to walk through a long beaded curtain and be met by the scent of incense burning. This isn’t far from the true experience, but CAS members don’t want people to think their work is some sort of creepy voodoo. “Our approach in holding these fairs is to raise money for the Astrological Society but also to enlighten the public,” explained
Books, candles, and information on astrology for sale at the New Age Fair on the top floor of the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center.
James Santa-Mo, who has been a society member for over 30 years. “The goal of the organization is to make the public aware of what astrology can and cannot do,” he added. “I’m interested in self-understanding and psycholo-
gy, but astrologers in general have varied backgrounds. Basically, you try to capture where the planets are and interpret it accordingly.” While people often trust their own horoscope to identify what the stars have in store for their day, week or year, the elements of astrology can also be applied to the future of a business, town, even a nation. Pretty much anything with a birthday. “During this past election we had a speaker talk,” Santa-Mo said. “We looked at both Obama and Romney’s horoscopes and made a judgment there … people do very serious work with it and try to determine outcomes of where things are going.” Santa-Mo was one of a handful of teachers at the fair, hosting a class for beginners. Other society representatives gave lectures about pertinent topics, everything from understanding your aura to tarot card reading. About 200 people

made their way through the event Sunday. They had the opportunity to peruse through some unique gift items offered by a variety of vendors, including jewelry, books and artwork. They could also have a reading performed by a Reiki Master, an astrologer, psychic or even a tarot reader. “It’s not like newspaper astrology,” Santa-Mo said. “It’s knowing your exact birthplace and time you were born, an analogy of geometry.” So who are the right candidates
for these types of readings? “Anyone,” says Santa-Mo. “In the case of personal fulfillment, it’s looking for answers through an unusual device or medium.” The Astrological Society of Connecticut holds its speaker meetings on the third Thursday of every month at 7 p.m., in the Keeney Center, 200 Main St., Wethersfield.

EDIC to host 23rd annual salute to new business By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
As holiday shoppers begin buzzing through stores, it’s the perfect time to recognize what new businesses have made their way into Wethersfield since this time last year. Two weeks before Christmas, the town’s Economic Development and Improvement Commission is hosting its 23rd Annual Salute to New
Business. Invitations are in the mail for all local business owners and Wethersfield Chamber of Commerce members, who will gather to not only pat each other on the back but also say hello to some new faces. “We are recognizing all new businesses that have come to town in the past year as well as a number of businesses hitting their 30-year mark,”
nine others. New Business Awards will go to 14 locations, 10 of which are on the Silas Deane Highway, like Panera Bread, Tilted Kilt, Prove it Golf, Hartford Hospital Sleep Disorder Center, and Wethersfield Monument. Six Special Recognition Awards will also be given out to those who have made façade improvements over the course of the year.

Redevelopment Agency tackles blighted properties, Old Wethersfield plan

Longevity awards have been issued for a couple of years now to businesses that have been in town at least 30 years, each year recognizing those founded within a different timeframe. The 2012 recipients are any that opened between 1983 and 1984, to include Almar Motel, Survivors of Homicide, Village Pizza, Standish Associates, and

The town’s Redevelopment Agency met this week for the first time in at least six months.

Donations are down across the board so our results were typical, but it’s still kind of a little upsetting,” Lombardo added. More uplifting was how many volunteers stopped by to help orchestrate the busy collection day at the WVAA’s facility. The group included students from Wethersfield High School who are members of the National Honor Society or taking civics classes and are interested in community service. Individual families, religious leaders and young churchgoers were also involved. But it was Lombardo and his wife and Assistant Chief Kim, who organized and hosted the day-long efforts. “That’s just the kind of people all our volunteers here are,” Lombardo says. “They like to reach out and do more than just their medical purpose in town,” he

New signs of life emerge for Route 3 in Rocky Hill By ERICA SCHMITT STAFF WRITER
Route 3 in Rocky Hill has long been the forsaken middle child, wedged in between the well-traveled Silas Deane Highway and Berlin Turnpike. But several recent croppings of business development are breathing some new life into the corridor. The Newington-based Reno
Properties Group is involved in some way with almost all of these sites, including the most recent deal at 396 Cromwell Ave. After four years of 75 percent vacancy, Reno Properties purchased it in 2010 for $2.5 million and transformed it into a multi-tenant shopping center, just recently brokering the $4.5 million sale. The center is now fully-leased
to Connecticut Bank and Trust, optometry practice Rocky Hill Eye Associates, health care provider Velocity Urgent Care, and Asian Bistro, a sushi and hibachi restaurant.

Slow start turned into solid season for WHS football By KEVIN D. ROBERTS STAFF WRITER
The Wethersfield football team has put together a solid season in 2012. The Eagles held a record of 6-3 going into the annual Thanksgiving morning clash against Newington at Newington’s Alumni Field. With a win over their rivals, Wethersfield had a chance to finish off a successful season on an especially high note. The season didn’t start well for the Eagles. Wethersfield played Central Connecticut Conference powerhouse Windsor on opening night and fell 42-0 at home. After shutout wins over E.O. Smith and Fermi in the next two weeks, the Eagles got hammered at home by Middletown, 41-7, to drop to 2-2. Since then, Wethersfield has won four of its last five games, including three in a row. “We’ve been a bit more consistent on both sides of the ball for the most part,” Eagles coach John Campanello said after Monday evening’s practice at Joseph E. Cottone Field. Wethersfield has gotten a balanced offensive effort behind the throwing of senior quarterback Zach DeCaro and the running of senior backs Devon Henry and Ivan Mangual.
“You have to stop a couple different things,” Campanello said. “That makes our offense a little more challenging to stop.” DeCaro has completed more than 50 percent of his passes (108-of-208) for nearly 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns, according to statistics posted on MaxPreps.com. DeCaro’s main target has been 6-2 senior wide receiver, Kevin Premto, who has nearly 500 receiving yards this season. Henry and Mangual have gotten nearly the same amount of carries (90 for Henry, 80 for Mangual) and have gained almost the same amount of yards (538 for Henry, 582 for Mangual) this season. Outside of the 40-14 loss to a good 6-3 Hartford Public team, the Wethersfield defense has been relatively tough in the past five games. That fact isn’t lost on rival quarterback Jake Hedberg of Newington. “On film, they seem to be pretty disciplined,” Hedberg said during Monday’s practice in Newington. “They don’t really make a lot of mistakes. They don’t really give up a lot of big plays.” A big key for Wethersfield’s success has been the attitude of its players. “The kids are buying in and have been working hard at practice,” Campanello said.

U.S. Rep Larson presents medals to local veterans
Congressman John B. Larson awarded medals to Wethersfield resident and Korean War veteran Herbert Hoover Northrop and the family of Newington resident and World War II veteran Andrew H. Christensen Monday morning at the Pitkin Community Center in Wethersfield. “Corporal Northrop and Staff Sergeant Christensen represent everything that is great about our nation,” Congressman Larson said. “These two men answered the call when our nation needed them the most and sacrificed so much. Like so many of their generation, these men either did not accept or did not realize they were eligible for these medals and it is an honor to be able to make sure they were delivered.” Corporal Northrop, joined by his daughter Deborah E. Northrop, received the National Defense Service medal, the Korean Service Medal with 1 bronze service star and the United Nations Service medal. A veteran of the Korean War, Corporal Northrop enlisted in the Army on September 29, 1952 and served until September 15, 1954. A member of the 25th “Lightning Division” out of Hawaii,
Corporal Northrop served in Korea right up until the Armistice was signed. Upon leaving the Army, he worked at Aetna Insurance for 39 years. A World War II veteran that saw action in both the North African and European theaters, Staff Sergeant Christensen passed At left, the family of World War II veteran Andrew H.

Presenting Sponsor Through Sunday, January 6, 2013 During Staff Sergeant Christensen’s service in 2010, his family noticed that his grave marker indicated he had received the Bronze 5:00PM - 9:00PM 5 Star. Confused that they had never seen the award, the Christensen family reached out to Congressman Larson’s office to investigate. The Congressman’s office was able to recover the Bronze star and present it to the Christensen family today.
