CORRECTION: Last week, aLetter to the Editor from a resi-dent of Newington was run withthe wrong introduction. It shouldhave stated that the writer wasconcerned about the issue of theproposed cell phone tower nearAnna Reynolds School, not the Ce-dar Mountain issue. We regret anyconfusion this may have caused thereaders. Below is a re-run of theoriginal letter.

To the Editor:

I live on Reservoir Road. Ihave lived in the same house onReservoir Road for fifty-eightyears. I would like to tell youwhat living there means to me.In 1952, my husband Stanley

and young daughter Marcia andI lived in a small apartment inHartford.Many of us in those days had

grown up in cities and in rentalapartments. But in that periodafter World War II, many peoplehad started to move out to the“country.” And to think aboutpurchasing a home instead ofrenting.My father-in-law, Archie

Aronson, was a salesman whotravelled throughout the stateand knew it well. He suggest-ed Newington as “a nice littletown.”We weren’t familiar with it.

On his travels, he took note ofhouses he saw that were for salein Newington, and we looked ata couple of them.Then, one day, I saw in The

Hartford Courant a huge, fullpage ad for a new developmentthat was going up in Newingtonwith photographs of an attrac-tive, modern house.An open house was coming

up. We were excited.That Sunday, my husband,

daughter, and I took a drive“out” to the new development;it seemed an outing then fromHartford.We left the boundaries of the

city and drove through wideopen spaces on sparsely traveledroads.There was only one home

built then, a model house, deco-rated beautifully by G. Fox andCompany.The rest of the area was all

forest. We fell in love with the

house. And the land out there!We got our finances in order.

The GI bill helped, my husbandhaving been a veteran of WorldWar II.

It seemed an enormous leapand change then, a differentlifestyle, a large financial invest-ment, a complete change oflocale, the necessity of a car (Ididn’t yet drive.)How exciting it was to choose

the style of the roof, the colorsof the floor and counters, thewallpaper.What a thrill when we saw

our lot. The whole area waswoods then.That was partof the appeal.

I remem-ber tellingthe men whowere clearingthe lot beforethey started tobuild to leavesome trees inthe yard. (Theydidn’t — plant-ing trees wasone of thefirst things wedid when wemoved in).We watched

the house goup. We had to walk on boardsover mud to get to the house.We had our very own yard. Itseemed we were the only peoplewho had ever lived on this exactspot. This little piece of Americawas ours.There was no school on

Reservoir Road then.Marcia went to the old North

School down on West HillRoad.A couple of years later,

Northwest School was built, justsix houses away from us.We hadn’t considered expand-

ing our family while we wereliving in our tiny apartment,and now we did. Our daughterPhyllis is very much a child ofthe house on Reservoir Road.The neighborhood kids walked

to school by themselves. Bothof my girls attended NorthwestSchool until the sixth grade.Anna Reynolds was the princi-pal then and we all knew her.It was great to have a neigh-

borhood school.

We always assumed the townwould always maintain thewoods as a buffer around theschool, so that there would bequiet, and a place for the chil-dren to learn about nature andgo exploring.The neighborhood kids played

freely, knocking on each oth-ers’ doors to come out and play.They played pretty much unsu-pervised for hours — safely.In the winter, they went sled-

ding and ice skating on thefrozen swamp in the woods inback of our house.The woods behind the house

have alwaysbeen one ofthe most won-derful aspectsof living whereI do.They are

beautiful tolook at; I lookout my bed-room windowand see largemajestic treeswith leavesthat change toexquisite colorsin the fall andsparkle like awonderland inthe winter.

How many songbirds we haveheard over the years, the ratt-tat tatting of woodpeckers, thecrickets, and cicadas. Such beau-tiful and reassuring sounds.How wonderful to have not

someone’s backyard and houseabutting your backyard, butnature.The neighborhood children

spent many hours exploring thewoods, collecting leaves — see-ing nature unspoiled. The frogsand toads they used to find,the dragonflies, the fireflies, thetiny streams with guppies, thechipmunks and ducks, the pray-ing mantises and jack-in-thepulpits.Such an important part of any

child’s education and develop-ment: unspoiled, wild nature.Playgrounds, parks, and ball

fields have their place, but wealso need pure, unfettered naturewhere kids can be free. (Not tomention where nature itself canbe free.) And we have a littlepiece of it here.

The neighborhood hasexpanded and changed. Manymore houses have been built,many trees have been knockeddown.The woods that provided pri-

vacy and quiet behind all thehouses on the left side goingup Reservoir Road have beenlargely replaced by new houses.But at least a section of houses

near the school still have woodsbehind them. At least there aresome wild spots left.Now I hear that theNewington

Town Council has approved put-ting up a cell phone tower in thearea near the school!I cannot imagine anything

that would be more obscenein this area. Or more unneces-sary. More short-sighted. Moredangerous.Can’t we leave anything good

alone? Do we have to ruineverything? What about qual-ity of life? How much more canNewington be built up?When I think of a physical

monstrosity towering above thehouses and trees in this area,emitting its electromagneticwaves, I feel sick. I think it’s dis-gusting. At best it is ill-advised.I am 88 years old now and the

thought of this happening atthe school of my children in mybeloved neighborhood makes mefeel invaded and violated.

I have loved living here andI am doing everything in mypower to be able to stay hereuntil my dying day.That is how much I love this

home and everything around it.I want to stay here because,for 58 years, this neighborhoodhas been a lovely, safe, pleasant,child-friendly place to live.A human-friendly and nature-

friendly place to live. It hasmaintained its character.What could be less child-

friendly and more ruinous ofits character — and its history— than a cell phone tower?I would like whoever lives in

the house after I’m gone to enjoysome of the quality of life therethat my family and I have beenfortunate to enjoy.I intend to do everything in

my power to help stop this celltower as my legacy to the neigh-borhood I love.It’s not for nostalgia that I

tell my story but to show thatwe embraced change when wemoved into the neighborhoodand we are all for progress if itis an improvement — not anychange for any reason regardlessof the costs vs. benefits.And I tell my story to illus-

trate that attachment and caringabout a place and the people init create a different perspectivethan whatever perspective causesa person to consider a cell towernear a school.I don’t think it’s caring that

calculates that money could pos-sibly compensate for what wouldbe lost with this cell tower.I don’t think it’s caring that

told my daughter Phyllis thatpaving a parking lot at the schoolwould be compensation for con-structing the cell tower.I don’t think it’s caring that

would consider doing this in theface of the health risks knownand unknown.I don’t think it’s caring about

children or nature or aesthet-ics that could even considersuch an edifice in a residentialneighborhood.In other words, I don’t think

whoever is behind this CARESabout us in any way.The only caring on their part

is about money and how muchthey think they can make off ofour misfortune.They do not care about the

children of Anna ReynoldsSchool, the people of our neigh-borhood, or the animals andvegetation.No one is even pretending a

cell tower would be good foranyone’s health or well-being.This is not for our benefit in

any way, shape, or form. It is forthe benefit of the cell companyONLY.We must keep in mind that,

whatever bone they throw us(paving a parking lot?) to lure usinto this, it is only that: a bone.We do not need their bribes orbones.If Newington needs money,

then we’ll have to find otherways to get it. This is not theway. This is totally unacceptable.Thank you.

NEWINGTON—HarryPotterisn’t the only one spreading magicthis summer. Local magician JamesKaine has some tricks to perform,too.The 25-year-old has been

performing magic for street audi-ences since 2006 when he pickedup a deck of cards and changedhis career perspective. A RockyHill High School graduate and awrestler through his teenage years,Kaine decided to try magic andbecame hooked. He quickly founda mentor in Wethersfield restau-rant magician Michael Paul whotaught Kaine everything he neededto know to begin. From there theyoung hopeful began to perform atlocal resturants and bars such as theWarehouse in Hartford, Zen Bar inPlainville, and Catcher’s Sports BarinWethersfield, among others.He even appeared on a pub-

lic access TV show called TheVariety Hour withWilliamWilson.Recently Kaine performed at abenefit for the American LungAssociation for approximately 1,000people, the biggest audience so far,he said.While Kaine’s audiences range

from teenagers to adults, don’texpect kids to be part of the crowdanytime soon.“My magic is more sophisti-

cated,” he said. Many of his actsinvolve engaging audience membersby walking among them instead ofperforming on stage.In one performance, cups were

arranged on a table upside downand a spike was put underneath one.

After an assistant secretly random-ized the cups, the magician smasheda cup that did not contain a spikeunderneath. “Performing magicis my own form of magic. I takesilence as a good thing, somethingof a shock value,”he said.Kaine self-markets himself with

business cards, a Facebook page,various YouTube clips, and mostpopular word-of-mouth. So farKaine has gotten good feedbackon his performances and was evenasked to perform at theHarry PotterPart 1 premiere in Manchester lastNovember. He hopes to performagain inManchester atHarry PotterPart 2 later in the summer.So far the ambitious magician

has traveled the Northeast with hismagic and hopes to travel the coun-try one day.His goal is to be like hisrole model, David Blaine. “I wouldlove to do magic for the rest of mylife,”he said.To find out more about James

Kaine, visit his website at www.jkaine.com.

The Central ConnecticutHealth District is remindingresidents to take precautionsfor unexpected communityemergencies.With the possibility of a pub-

lic health emergency due to ahurricane, tornado, act of ter-rorism or pandemic influenza,it is important to be prepared.According to the American RedCross, three key steps to takeare: get a kit, make a plan and beinformed.A disaster supplies kit is a

collection of basic items thatmay be used at home, at work, atschool or in a vehicle.This kit is made up of the fol-

lowing items:� Water; one gallon per person,per day (a three-day supply forevacuation, two-week supply forhome)� Food; non-perishable, easy-to-prepare items such as cannedgoods, a manual can-opener, anddry mixes (a three-day supplyfor evacuation, two-week supplyfor home)� Battery-powered or hand-crank radio with extra batteriers� First Aid Kit� A seven-day supply of medica-tions and medical items� Multi-purpose tools� Sanitation and personalhygiene items� Copies of personal docu-ments (medication lists, proofof address, deed/lease to home,passports, birth certificates,insurance policies and pictures

of family members)� Cell phones and chargers� Family and emergency contactinformation� Extra cash� Emergency blankets� Map(s) of the areaIf there are children, seniors,

pets or someone with a medicalcondition or special needs inyour home, consider adding thefollowing items to your supplieskit: Medical supplies (hearingaids and wheelchairs with extrabatteries, glasses, syringes, canes)Baby supplies (bottles, powderformula, baby food, diapers)Games and activities for chil-dren Pet supplies (collar, leash,ID, food, carrier, bowl, medicalrecords)

Pack the items in easy-to-carry water-proof containers,label the containers clearly andstore them where they would beeasily accessible, such as dufflebags, backpacks and coveredtrash receptacles.Remember, you can reduce

the amount of water your bodyneeds by reducing activity andstaying cool.

When making a plan, it isessential to meet with familymembers and discuss how toprepare and respond to emer-gencies. Identify responsibilitiesof each family member of yourhousehold and plan ways towork together.Choose two places to meet

both outside of the home andoutside of the neighborhood, inthe event of a sudden emergency,such as a fire or evacuation. Inthe event of an evacuation in

your community, decide whereyou would go and multipleroutes of getting there.Be sure to identify a name of

relative or friend outside of thearea to leave messages if neces-sary. When planning for pets,call ahead to determine pet-friendly hotels and motels.Being informed involves learn-

ing what types of disasters oremergencies may occur in yourarea. These events can rangefrom those affecting only youand your family, like a home fireor medical emergency, to thoseaffecting your entire community,like an earthquake or flood.Make sure that at least one

member of your household istrained in first aid and CPRand knows how to use an auto-mated external defibrillator(AED). This training is usefulin many emergency situations.Emergency contact cards foreach family member are usefulin the event of separation.Children and anyone with

special needs should wear orcarry some form of identificationat all times. Printable versions ofthese cards are available on theAmerican Red Cross website atwww.redcross.org.

Brochures about emergencypreparedness are available fromthe Central Connecticut HealthDistrict,now celebrating 15 yearsof services to its communities.For further information, con-

tact the District’s EmergencyPreparedness Coordinator, JudyeTorpey at (860) 721-2816 or thewebsite at www.ccthd.org.

replacements,wider sidewalks,newtrees, brick pavers laid instead ofconcrete, and new lighting amongmany other changes to come.“Town Council authorized thetown manager last week to startsigning the contracts and paper-work,” said Meehan. This meansthe revitalization process will beginmid-July and last for approximate-ly 120 days.The surrounding business-

es along the street will likely beaffected by this action. Mario L.Sousa, Jr., store owner of UpscaleMusic on 50 Market Square, said

“I think it is a great idea to plantnew trees because I have seenpeople fall from crazy roots inthe sidewalk.” He likes the idea ofnew sidewalks, but he is weary ofthe potential slow down of busi-ness and traffic on the street. Thealready narrow roadway is a con-cern to his customers who get outof their parked cars into traffic. Hehopes this won’t be an extra dangerto them.Nearby on 41 Market Square,

Yolanda Treviso, owner of ARelaxation Spot salon, agreesthat new sidewalks are necessary.She is worried though that the

square also needs new businessesto attract people to the stores oncethe revitalization is completed. “Itis more a driving street rather thana walking street because of themany doctor and dentist offices,”she said.Not all business owners agree

on the direction the project isgoing. Sophia Beytan, owner ofSophia’s Breakfast and Lunch,doesn’t think the street renovationswill attract customers. “Instead,’”she says, “there should be a signadvertising the street and vendors,to divert traffic from Main Streetonto Market Square.”

To the Editor:

Four long legs a jumble, seem-ingly in constant motion, remindus that we have a very new ener-getic companion this spring. Welaugh, delighting in this furry crea-ture as he runs and invites us togive chase. He delights in the out-doors, still more, he delights that“his” people are outside with him,running, playing and laughing.We had not expected to add to

our family this year. Our sweet,faithful sentry and loyal com-panion, Allie, died After 18 yearstogether. Her passing left us feel-ing empty, yet strangely liberatedfrom a daily medical routine thathad been not only challenging butdemanding.We mourned our loss,and filled our time with books andchores, our evening walks wouldbe no more.We had found a “newnormal” that no longer includedbarks, or demanding rumblingwhen dinner was threatened to bedelayed.Still, the days were quiet, much

too quiet. Was there any harm inlooking on the internet we won-dered? Perhaps there woulbe a

dog in need of a home? Indeed,we found thousands — each witha story that shattered our calm.One caught our eye. Lucky — at13 years old he was sporting anew haircut. He was turned in tothe Connecticut Humane Society,a sad result of today’s difficulteconomy. His name was Lucky— yet it seemed that perhaps hisluck had run out. The kind folksat the Humane Society tendedto his vaccinations, biopsied afew tumors, and saw the wis-dom in not giving up on thissweet senior. The veterinariandeclare3d him healthy — yetwho would adopt this senior dog?The shelter turned to a rescueorganization and again Luckywas resettled, this time in a fosterhome where Denise would quicklydiscover how sweet and delightfulthis wonderful dog could be. Sheworked up his story, and advertisedhim well, sharing with those of uswho would click on the photo ofthis senior.She responded prompt-ly to my hesitant inquiry, and sentdelightful video clips of this activesenior who surely belied is age! Shereassured, answered, and shared all

she knew of this wonderful boy.We journeyed a full day to bring

Lucky home. He was as anxiousas we were, but eventually settledhead in my lap. It was good to holdand comfort this furry friend; itwas good to be comforted.We wonder about him and

his soulful eyes. He has stories toshare, stories we will never know.What we have learned, what weknow for sure, is that he was lovedwell, for hi in turn is so sweet,gentle and even tempered.For thatwe are grateful.We are grateful forthe caring, compassionate folks atthe Connecticut Humane Societywho found room to believe in yetanother animal in need of a home,and blessedly believed he deservedno less.Andwe are grateful beyondwords to Denise for making themagic happen, who provided aloving home until Lucky’s foreverhome was found.To all who believed in Lucky,

thank you.He has returned joy andlaughter to our days, love to ourhearts, and a foolishness and playto our lives. Our arms are full, andour faces wet with dog kisses—weare so lucky to have Lucky.

CALENDAR


Boy Scouts Travis Therrien, Gavin Donahue andEagle Scout Stephen Cronin took time out fromtheir recent camping trip at Gettysburg to rememberall Connecticut soldiers who fought in the battle of

Gettysburg.Twenty-seven scouts and 12 adults trav-elled to Gettysburg from June 25 to June 28. Theylearned a great deal about this pivotal battle fromtheir Scout Master Tim Manke.

Congratulations to Tor Alston,winner of a Connecticut AssistedLiving Association Award for“Outstanding Resident Services.”

Alston was honored at a specialevent held Friday, June 24 at Water’sEdge Resort in Westbrook.

Alston began working as a mem-ber of the waitstaff at Middlewoodsof Newington six years ago, whenhe was 16 years old.

Over the years, Alston haslearned more than just how to pro-vide great service during meal times.He always brightens residents’ dayswith a smile and kind words.

But what makes Alston excep-tional is his willingness to go aboveand beyond. He has changed hisschedule around to provide cover-age on shifts in other departments.He has been seen sifting throughgarbage cans searching for den-tures when a resident thoughtshe threw them out (only to learnlater that they were in her apart-ment the whole time).

Most dramatically, Alston actu-ally used his body as a shield toprotect a resident who suffered asudden seizure.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER

The Newington Mustangs metSouth Meriden for the first timethis season on June 25, at AlumniField in Newington, looking toimprove on their 2-1 record.Takingthe hill was Mike Giordano, whowas 1-1 as a starter. You wouldthink that a pitcher who walks 9batters would have a difficult timewinning or even staying in thegame, but Giordano did exactlythat, pitching a complete game,throwing over 120 pitches, strikingout 13 and allowing no runs or hitson route to a 4-0 victory. A verystrange line for a pitcher, but “Gio”hung on and got some big outsthroughout the game. “ I wouldn’tsay “Gio” struggled with his controlbecause hemade some great pitches

when he had to, but it wasn’t hissharpest effort”, said manager RonManzione. He struck out at least 2batters in 5 innings and struck outthe side twice in a gutty perfor-mance, earning not only his secondwin but his second no-hitter of theseason.The walks were concerningand added to his pitch count buthe never backed down and seemedto make the big pitch when heneeded to. Giordano also collected2 hits and 2 RBI, driving homePhil Cocce who singled in the firstand Mike Snyder who reached ona HBP in the 4th. Both pitcherswere effective except for a few wildpitches and errors, and only a totalof 3 hits. “We were fortunate tohave runners on and move themup on miscues and wild pitches

to go along with Gio’s RBI hits”,Manzione added. The game wentdown to the final batter, as Giowalked the bases loaded and wentto 3-2 before getting him to lookat strike three, earning a tough butexciting win.

The Mustangs travelled toGlastonbury with a 3-1 recordon June 28, to take on last sea-son’s finalists, Monaco Ford, atthe Glastonbury High School JVField. Lefty Phil Cocce got thestart, looking for his 2nd win ofthe season and was sharp earlyon, allowing only 1 hit over threeinnings. The scoring started in the4th for the Mustangs, as NickAconfora singled, stole second andscored on Shawn Harrison’s infield

single. Harrison used his speedon the bases and quickness in thefield, making several quality playsat short to aid Cocce. However,the Monaco offense awoke in thebottom of the 4th, and after a walk,3 consecutive hits, 2 of them beingdoubles,they took the lead for good,2-1.They scored 2more runs in the5th on 3 more hits and Cocce wasrelieved by Alex Jackson, who shutthe door for the rest of the gameand gave the Mustangs a chance tomake a comeback. Unfortunately,the opposing pitcher was keep-ing the Mustangs offense in checkuntil the 7th, when Harrison, whowas on base 3 times (2 hits and aHBP), and Jon Omara singled, andJared Clegg laid down a beautifulsac bunt, getting runners in scoring

position. Andrew Gotowala gotone of the runners home with asac fly and it came down to MikeSnyder, who already had one hit.Snyder hit a deep drive to leftwhich could have been a triple withhis speed, but after a long run, theleft fielder made a lunging over theshoulder catch, robbing the hit andending the game. “We were not onour game offensively tonight”, saidRon Manzione. “Their pitcher dida good job keeping us off balancewith a variety of curves and chan-geups, and limiting the damage.We had our chances but they madesome great plays defensively to keepus off the board”, he added.The Mustangs fell to 3-2 in the

Senior East JC TD BANK league.
