In a change of opinion, the Newington Town Council voted to sell a parcel of land to the state of Connecticut Tuesday, reweigh-ing a decision made during the

April 26 Town Council meeting to refuse the sale of the land which is slated for use in the upcoming New Britain to Hartford Busway project.

The state Department of Transportation found it necessary

to acquire a parcel of town owned land, formerly owned by National Welding, located at 690 Cedar St., for the future development of the mass transit project.

received the initial request of sale in January. The request offered the town $5,200 for the 3,776 square-foot lot. The Newington Town Plan and Zoning Committee and Town Assessor Steve Juda, both concluded that the offer was a reasonable compensation for the lot.

During Tuesday’s council meet-ing the councilors voted 8 to 1 to sell the property to the state of Connecticut.

The decision to allow the sale of the land centered on state and town cooperation in the develop-ment of the surrounding National Welding site. It was felt that the agreement to sell the land would allow the town to have more say in the development of the Busway and to ensure that the mass-transit project would not restrict the development of the National Welding lot and surrounding par-cels of land.

“I don’t support the Busway, but it looks like it is going to happen at this point. I think the most important thing for the people

of this town is to be able to have some say in the development and what occurs in terms of stops,” said Councilor Maureen Klett.

The council initially refused the sale during a roll call vote April 26 to decide if the lot should be sold to the state. The action failed due to a tied vote of 4 to 4. Councilor Meg Casasanta was absent. Town Manager John Salomone was also absent, taking a personal leave due to a family loss.

Salomone decided to recon-sider the vote after council members requested the item be placed back on the agenda.

“I would do anything I could to stop the Busway…, on the flip side I didn’t think there would be an impact in other areas to the developer or for that matter what the town decides therefore I asked that this be put back on again…,” said Klett. “I don’t want to be responsible for hold-ing up any developer.”

According to the Town Manager’s Office, had the coun-cil refused the sale, the state of Connecticut would have

taken the land through eminent domain.

“In my opinion that makes bad business partners with the State of Connecticut,” said Mayor Mike Lenares.

The Newington Town Council has a history of opposi-tion against the Busway project, having officially voted in late January to oppose the $573 million Busway in favor of a commuter rail. A similar oppo-sition was felt by the towns of West Hartford and Bristol.

The acquisition of the land is required by the state to construct the Busway and an abutting bus station, at Newington Junction, which will be known as the Cedar-Fenn Station. The New Britain to Hartford bus-way was approved by Gov. Dannel Malloy in early April. The 9.6 mile bus-way will run from Union Station in Hartford to downtown New Britain, with 11 stops including Newington and West Hartford. Construction of the Busway is expected to begin this summer.

The residents of Newington received a significant boost to their local recycling efforts when Keep America Beautiful and The Coca-Cola Company announced the recipients of the spring 2011 Recycling Bin Grant program.

Newington was chosen from nearly 800 applications sub-mitted. The 70 grant recipients represent a cross-section of community groups, local gov-ernments, colleges and nonprofit organizations across the country.

Grant recipients receive recy-cling bins from a pre-set list of options.

Grants were awarded for a diverse range of settings from 31 states, including nine colleges and universities, 25 municipali-ties and other local government entities, 10 K-12 schools, 26 nonprofit organizations, and additional community groups and Native American tribes.

Recipients were chosen by Keep America Beautiful based on a

number of criteria. These include placing the bins where they are likely to have the most impact on recovering bev-erage containers from the waste stream, the abil-ity of recipients to sustain their program in the future, and intention to support collec-tion programs with recycling education and promotion.

The Bin Grant is sponsored by The Coca-Cola Company and is designed to promote and support commu-nity recycling in the U.S.

Since the implementa-tion of Automated Single

Stream Recycling in July, 2010 Newington’s recycling rate has risen substantially, diverting

approximately 2,150 tons of recy-clables form the waste stream to date.

The increase is due in large part to the residents’ participa-tion, which has been very good

thus far. The addition of these new containers will assist the town in continu-ing its recycling efforts.

“KAB and C o c a - C o l a have afford-ed the town a great oppor-tunity,” said a local organiza-tion spokesman. “These contain-ers will give residents and visitors to our town the abil-ity to recycle in an areas where

recycling was limited.”“The entire recycling pro-

cess begins when a consumer

chooses to put their empty bev-erage container in a recycling bin instead of the trash,” said John Burgess, president of Coca-Cola Recycling LLC.

“Through our work with Keep America Beautiful to provide bins to community-based organiza-tions, we can help raise recycling rates by making recycling more accessible to more consumers.”

The Bin Grant Program pro-vides recycling bins directly to recipients and leverages the purchasing power and recycling expertise of KAB.

Since its inception in the fall of 2007, the Bin Grant program has placed nearly 20,000 recy-cling bins in 380 communities in 48 states and the District of Columbia.

Further information about the grant program and a full list of spring 2011 Bin Grant recipients is available at http://bingrant.org.

In a surprise celebration on Saturday, May 7, Stew Leonard’s of Newington awarded college scholar-ships to three of its most deserving employees.

The three recipients, who include Annie Scionti, 17, of Berlin, and twins, Alex and Oliver Delcore, 17, of Meriden, will all be heading off to college this fall.

The three were awarded $1,000 scholarships through the Stew Leonard’s Scholarship Program. Since its inception in 1999, the scholarship program has awarded over $600,000 to deserving employees to continue or begin their higher education.

“I’m glad we can help out in a small way to further your education,” said Newington Stew Leonard’s President Dan Arthur. “This is a great group of kids.”

The $1,000 scholarship is awarded to the recipient continually for up to four years or until the students obtain a bachelor’s degree, whichever comes first. The students are required to keep a “C” average and work 400

hours annually at Stew Leonard’s to keep the scholarship.

That afternoon the young recipi-ents were thoroughly surprised when they were greeted by their friends and family in a quiet reception area in the upper level of Stew Leonard’s.

They had been asked by Newington Stew Leonard’s Recruiter Mike Liacos to help with a few chores and were led away from their posts with-in the store. The three entered the reception area and were greeted by the happy faces and clapping hands of their families.

“Last time Mike asked me to help him I had to stock cookies,” said Annie Scionti, 17, acknowledging that she was completely surprised when she and her fellow workers walked into the room. The scholars were greeted by their parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was one of the largest relative turnouts in recent his-tory, said Liacos.

As they slowly moved away from the door and into the room, Liacos and Arthur presented them with the large ceremonial check. With that, smiles crept across the surprised scholars’ faces.

“It was a surprise, definitely,” said Alex.

Alex, Oliver, and Annie were each selected for the scholarship based on their work performance at

Stew Leonard’s and an essay they wrote about their career goals and extracurricular activities.

Annie said she will be attending Bentley University in Massachusetts this fall, and plans to study account-ing. She works as a cashier in the supermarket.

“I’m very excited. I wasn’t expect-ing it, and then I saw my family. It made me so happy that they can be here, too,” said Annie.

“I’m very proud of her,” said Annie’s mother, Jean Scionti. “She deserves it. She works very hard.” She added she had known that Annie had won the scholarship for the last two weeks. Because they are so close it was hard not to tell her, Jean said.

Oliver and Alex Delcore will be attending Keene State College in New Hampshire. Oliver plans to study management information and Alex will be entering the col-lege’s engineering program. Both boys work in the Stew Leonard’s bakery.

“We are really proud of them. They have worked really hard to keep their grades up,” said the twins’ mother, Laurie Delcore. “They are the best two things that ever happened in our life,” added Lou Delcore, the boys’ father.

“When you have two going in at once to get a scholarship is very helpful,” said Laurie.

After receiving congratulations from their friends and family, and posing for pictures, the three schol-ars enjoyed a complimentary lunch from Stew Leonard’s before head-ing back downstairs to finish their work day.

The Lucy Robbins Welles Library will host its 15th Annual “Newington Library 5K Challenge” road race this Sunday morn-ing, May 15, and invites all Newington residents to come out and participate or cheer on their friends and family.

Funds raised by the road race will be used to support the Lucy Robbins Welles Library.

“I think the library is very special and this makes it be a little more special,” said Race Director Kevin Mason.

Preparations were well underway for the race Tuesday evening as the library had begun stocking up on bottled water and refreshments for the runners.

The race will begin at 9 a.m. from Mill Pond Park, located off Garfield Street, across from the Newington Town Hall and Lucy Robbins Welles Library, with an anticipated end time of 10 a.m.

The annual road race began 15 years ago when the library was looking to develop a

fundraiser. At the time it seemed that golf tournaments were the big thing, so, decid-ing to be different, the library decided to host a road race instead. Last year over 265 runners showed up for the race and helped raise over $6,000 in donations.

The run is a certified 5 kilometer road race starting from Mill Pond Park. The runners will head down Walsh Avenue to Robbins Avenue before looping around Audubon and Ashland Avenues. The course then winds its way to Willard Avenue before heading back onto Garfield Street and finishing at Mill Pond Park. According to Mason, safety is the number one priority of the event coordinators. Staff will be positioned on all streets to ensure no traffic is allowed through.

The race is not meant to be competitive, but for those looking for a challenge the current course records are held by Chris Chisholm with a time of 15 minutes and 56 seconds for the males. Heather Gardiner holds the female record at 18 minutes and 25 seconds.

A trophy presentation ceremony

recognizing the first, second, and third overall winners, both male and female, will be held at 10:30 a.m. at Mill Pond Park. First- and second-division winners, both male and female, will also be recognized. Those runners who have participated for 10 years will also be recognized this year.

“I think that is unique. It makes our race special. I don’t know of any other road race that does that,” said Mason.

Trophies will also be awarded to the first male and first female finishers among students in grades 5 through 8 and grades 9 through 11, who are enrolled in Newington schools. The Newington Cross Country Boosters Incentive Awards will be presented at the award ceremony.

The course is open to all ages with eight divisions starting at 10 years old and under all the way to 70 years old and up. Anyone wishing to walk is also wel-come, although no pets are allowed.

“This is a place where kids can race. We really have a lot of families running together,” said Mason.

Those wishing to participate in this annual tradition can register at the Mill Pond Park starting at 8 a.m. on race day. There is a registration fee of $20 per per-son and for the young athletes 12 years old and under there is a $10 registration fee.

The first 200 registrants will receive a free “Newington 5k Challenge” T-Shirt.

A raffle will also be held after the race and is open to all participants, runners and walkers. Raffle prizes have been donated by local businesses and restaurants and include gift certificates and, “We are lucky with the amount of people in town who go out of their way to donate to the raffle,” said Mason.

Refreshments will be provided after the race by the Friends of the Lucy Robbins Welles Library, Veggie World, and Stew Leonard’s.

The April Superintendent’s Outstanding Student Award Ceremony was held April 25. At that time, students from seven schools in Newington were rec-ognized by the Superintendent of Schools, Dr. William C. Collins.

This program, which began many years ago, recognizes stu-dents in the Newington Public Schools who have served as good examples to other students.

Students are selected monthly based on nominations of the vari-ous teachers and principals in each school. The nominations can be for an all around good school citi-zen, a most improved student or a student who has demonstrated some outstanding effort, attitude, attendance or academic achieve-ment.

Students of the Month for April are as follows:

High School — Emma Shooshan;

John Wallace — Hayley Barrett;

Martin Kellogg — Clara

Bartlett;Anna Reynolds — Jared

Goldstein;Elizabeth Green — Michael

Sobolewski;John Paterson — Olivia

Chylinski;Ruth Chaffee — Mara Klin.

Present at the awards ceremo-ny were the seven students, plus

parents, grandparents and their guests.

Parents: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shooshan; Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Barrett; Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Bartlett; Mr. and Mrs. Brett Goldstein; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sobolewski; Mr. and Mrs. Chris Chylinski; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Klin.

April’s Students of the Month

The University of Michigan Jazz Ensemble made a stop in Newington Wednesday, May 4, working with the town’s young musicians and performing for the community. The group of 21 undergraduate and graduate students arrived at John Wallace Middle School in the afternoon, following their morning perfor-mance at Darien High School. The hour and a half clinic was inspiring and exciting for both sides. Michigan’s director, Ellen Rowe, said, “We love working with middle school age students. Their energy, their excitement, it’s infectious.”

The Michigan group had an hour free before the Newington High School Jazz Band performance. Again, the older musicians sat next to their younger counterparts as they played over several songs. They pointed out ways the NHS students could improve their stylistic playing. Ben Lostocco, NHS sophomore and All-State Orchestra trumpet player, said, “Being able to work with musicians so passionate about jazz was great both for us as indi-viduals and for the band as a whole.” The day culminated with a free concert in the John Wallace MS auditorium. Brian Kelly, the band director at NHS, said “This was an amazing experience for our students.”

Air Force Airman Holly E. McDonald graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. She is the daughter of John and Christy McDonald of Broadview Street, Newington. McDonald graduated in 2010 from Newington High School.

Serving with honor

Amanda Cefaretti and Kaitlin Gontarz, two Newington teen coun-selors at Hartford County 4-H Camp held a tag sale recently to support the fundraising efforts of Hartford County 4-H Camp, Inc.

The tag sale consisted of domestic items, fresh baked goods, and hand-made bracelets. The teens raised more than $200 to go directly to the Hartford County 4-H Camp’s Capital Campaign Improvement Fund.

On Sunday, Feb. 6 Hartford County 4-H Camp’s 5,200 square foot dining hall (Baldwin Hall) roof collapsed due to the heavy snow.

The camp has insurance yet; a Capital Campaign Improvement Fund was set up to cover improve-ments related to fire safety, new building codes and some aesthetic improvements.

The Camp will open for the sum-mer 2011 camp season at the Hartford County 4-H Camp Outdoor Center in Marlborough.

“Hartford County 4-H Camp has impacted us both so much.

We’ve been going for such a long time, since we were 11 or 12. Still, at 17, Hartford County 4H Camp is our home, and we wanted to give back so other kids can make a home there too,” Cefaratti said.

To donate to the Hartford County 4-H Camp, Inc. Improvement Baldwin Hall, make check or money order payable to Hartford County 4-H Camp Improvement Fund, and send to Hartford County 4-H Camp, c/o Chuck Ferguson, 188 Brent Road, Manchester, CT 06042.

For further information and to donate online, visit www.hartford-county4hcamp.org, Facebook Page: Help HC4H Camp Baldwin Hall Improvement Fund.

The Hartford County 4-H Camp Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides a safe, healthy, enriching and fun outdoor experience for young people with a learning by doing philosophy.

Outside the Newington Volunteer Fire Training Tower, Deputy Chief Frank Papa and Captain Ernie Roberts looked down over a large rust covered steel I-beam. They stood quietly as they reflected on flooding memories almost a decade old.

“It’s one of those things that the major-ity of people you talk to if you asked them what they were doing they know. They know exactly what they were doing when they heard the news,” said Papa.

Last week, the Newington Volunteer Fire Department received a piece of the World Trade Center, and plan to build a memorial to the lives lost September 11, 2001.

“It’s probably the most elite memorial that you could put up. I can’t think of a better object to establish a memorial with,” said Papa.

The section of I-beam, about 6 feet long, was believed to be from the fifth floor of Tower 1, which was struck by hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, at 8:46 am.

Lying on the gravel outside the Newington Fire Tower, the remnant of the once great towers that punctuated the skyline of New York City looked worn and old. It lay almost flat, mangled by the force of the collapsing tower. The gray paint was over-come by rust during its 10-year journey to the final resting place in the quiet town of Newington.

“It brings back memories. It is just something that we should not forget. Many, many, people passed a lot of firefighters, police officers, civilians...,” said Captain Ernie Roberts.

The steel’s arrival in Newington could not have come at a better time, seeming to mark the end of an era. Four days after the beam was unloaded outside the Newington Fire Tower, the country was informed of the death of Osama bin Laden.

“The timing was incredible,” said Papa.Looking at the twisted piece of wrought iron steel

is a sobering reminder of the realities of what hap-pened on that fateful day in 2001 when more than 3,000 lives were lost. Now almost a decade later, the healing process is still underway for the thousands of American families directly and indirectly affected

by the terrorist attacks. The healing process is also continuing for fire departments across the nation, connected by what Papa and Roberts call the fire-fighter brotherhood.

“Three-hundred and forty-three firefighters died in this. It could have been one of us,” said Roberts.

“This is our way of letting the residents of Newington know that we will never forget,” Papa said.

It has been a struggle to get the piece of steel, said Papa. He had contacted the New York-New Jersey Port Authority for more than 15 months ago hoping to receive a piece of the World Trade Center. Over the next year the department only had scattered correspondence from the Port Authority as to the developments of their request. Then two weeks ago the call came in, they had been approved and had to pick up the piece in New Jersey. Fire Commissioners Bob Seiler and Kent Stoddard went do to the Port Authority April 27, to pick up the 985-pound beam.

Since attaining the piece of steel for the memorial, Papa and Roberts have been sketching drawings on a yellow notepad outlining the ideas they have in their head of what the memorial could look like.

“Nothing is official yet,” said Papa. “Ideas have just been floating around the department.”

They do hope to have the monument completed by the fall, to honor the 10-year anniversary.

“If we can get all our ducks in a row, we are hoping to unveil this on September 11,” said Papa.

The department is still debating as to whether the steel I-beam should be placed horizontally, or vertically, to represent a tower. An idea that seemed persistent was the inclusion of two plaques, one with “343” inscribed on it, to memorialize the 343 firefighters lost on September 11, and another with the Fireman’s Prayer.

The department is considering three locations for the memorial: behind the old Company One building, at the corner of Garfield Street and Walsh Avenue, out in front of Company One fire house at 1485 Main St., or at the fire training tower.

The most important thing Papa and Roberts said is that Newington residents remember what happened on that infamous day and to never forget those who lost their lives.
