Night of Lights kicks off seasonChristmas tree lightning into

one fun-filled event, said Lee, starting with the resurrection of an old Newington tradition, the lighting of the holiday wreath on the Mill Pond Park bridge. The lighting of the wreath at 4:30 p.m. at Mill Pond Park will officially begin the holiday celebration, topping off a day filled with New England-style holiday traditions, including sleigh rides and a visit from Santa Claus.

The wreath-lighting ceremo-ny will be followed by a brief Christmas-carol singing stroll to the Newington Chamber of Commerce on Main Street, where the participants will be met by performances from “Kellapella,” a cappella group from Martin Kellogg Middle School and the Newington High School Music Department at 5 p.m.

Mayor Jeff Wright and the Rev. Kenneth Brookes will be on hand to usher in the holiday spirit by switching on the colorful lights

adorning the town Christmas tree.

Throughout the night residents are invited to sing carols, enjoy the warm beverages and delicious treats available, and explore the shops located in the downtown area.

“It’s an opportunity for the local businesses to showcase what they offer,” said Lee, “so people can do their holiday shopping in down-town Newington.”

The celebration will also include the annual Fire Truck Parade. The four companies that make up the Newington Volunteer Fire Department will decorate their fire engines in colorful lights and holiday decorations for a parade down Main Street.

“That definitely brings out a lot of community spirit,” said Lee, “and it’s a lot of fun. The fire departments all get dressed up and everyone is definitely in the spirit of things.”

According to the Parks and Recreation Department, Santa

Claus will be in town Friday and Saturday, taking time off from the North Pole and dropping into Newington to hear the Christmas wishes of Newington’s children. He will be making his list in the Mortensen Community Center’s Romano Room on Friday, Dec. 3, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Dec 4. from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Parks and Rec Department is also bringing back the nostalgic New England sleigh ride this year at Mill Pond Park for Newington families to enjoy and capture a fun holiday photo. The sleigh rides will be held Saturday, Dec. 4, from 1 to 4 p.m. All that is requested for a free sleigh ride and visit with Santa Claus is for residents to donate a canned food item at the events for the benefit of the Newington Food Bank.

“It’s just a nice gesture for people to give back and help with the com-munity,” said Lee. The Parks and Rec Department and the Newington Chamber of Commerce will accept donations during the entirety of the “Night of Lights” celebration.

NEWINGTON — A Wreaths Across America ceremony will be held Saturday, Dec. 11 at noon in West Meadow Cemetery.

The Willard-Welles-Stanley Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution and the May-Davis-Stotzer American Legion Post 117 are planning this local ceremony which will run simultaneously with wreath-laying ceremonies at the national cemetery in Arlington, Va. and at locations all across the nation.

Seven ceremonial wreaths rep-resenting the branches of the armed forces, merchant marine

and POW/MIAs will be laid at the Veterans’ Monument in West Meadow Cemetery.

Worcester Wreath Co., working in conjunction the non-profit orga-nization Wreaths Across America will donate the seven ceremo-nial wreaths to the West Meadow Cemetery in Newington for the ceremony.

Beginning on Dec. 5, a cara-van of trucks carrying Christmas wreaths from the State of Maine will begin their annual trek to Arlington National Cemetery. These wreaths will be placed on the graves of our veterans on

Dec. 11 — a solemn tribute to those who serve and to those who made the ultimate sacri-fice. Simultaneous ceremonies in Connecticut will be held at the three state Veterans Cemeteries in Middletown, Rocky Hill, Darien, as well as at various veterans memorials and local cemeteries with areas designated for veter-ans.

For information on the Newington ceremony, contact: Barbara Crede, regent, Willard-Welles-Stanley Chapter, DAR, 860-665-8082, or [email protected].

Town takes part in wreaths program

By ALEX SYPHERSStaff writer

The possibility of establishing a committee for the Veterans and Memorial Day ceremonies was discussed at last week’s Newington Town Council meeting in the hope that creating such a committee would streamline the preparation and coordination of the annual veterans traditions.

Mayor Jeff Wright requested the issue be brought to the atten-tion of the town coun-cil that night saying he felt the “Veteran’s O bser va t ion C o m m i t t e e ” was needed to coordinate various ser-vices and events concerning veterans. Including the Memorial and Veteran’s Day ceremonies and parades held annually in town.

“The basic idea here is to set up a committee, from an organizational standpoint, recognizing the importance and significance of both Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day and the Memorial Day Parade,” said Wright, himself a veteran of the Marine Corps Reserve, “So there is some type of structure to make sure these programs and events go on without a hitch.”

As the planning stands now, he said, no one is specifically in charge and even though the events are undertaken with minimal interferences he felt a committee would best represent the veterans and would improve the overall quality of the veteran’s ceremonies and parade. He added that sometimes details such as procuring enough seating or gather-ing Newington Police officers for a color guard often become last minute details.

“We are at the furthest point right now, basically, from Memorial Day or from either one of these holidays,” said Wright, “We have six months to work toward Memorial Day and so let’s put something together like this so there’s a format and it just doesn’t rely on one person. It’s more of an organi-zational thing.”

In past years the ceremonies, including Newington’s renowned Memorial Day Parade, were headed by community veterans, most notably, Capt. Michael

Fox, who was unable to be involved this past year, and the late Brig. Gen. John P. Carragher, who v o l u n t e e r e d their time to coordinate and run the events.

“It’s so much bigger than one person,” said Wright, “we owe it to our veterans and all those who served, and memorialized those who have given their lives, to have this structure as a town and I think this is something that is consistent with other communities.”

The “Veterans Observation Committee” would be a non-political committee, said Wright, adding, “I don’t think there should be any councilors on that committee.” He also suggested permanent seats on the panel for the commanders of the two American Legion posts and Veterans of Foreign Wars, “…and then put some more folks on there, I think the only requirement would be that they were perhaps a veteran.”

Councilor Maureen Klett, Deputy Mayor Mike Lenares, Councilor Meg Casasanta, and Wright all volunteered their services to the start of the a sub-committee to outline the organization of the Veterans Observation Committee.

As the rays of the sun climbed over the horizon and into the cool morning air Tuesday, the adminis-tration at Newington High School started preparing breakfast, and while it may have seemed like just any ordinary breakfast of bagels and muffins, it was the occasion that made it so extraordinary — it was to honor the school’s star scholars, the top 35 students who earned exem-plary scores during the Connecticut Academic Performance Test.

The students were joined by their families during their morning breakfast in the high school cafete-ria held before school started.

“I don’t have anything to hand you today other than my sincere congratulations, your performance in this regard places you in the very top of students in Connecticut,” said Principal James Wenker. “You have a lot to be proud of.”

It was a meal well worth the wait; the students had taken the test in the latter half of their sophomore year and now as juniors were feel-ing the meaning of pride and a job

well done.“I feel honored, It’s a good feel-

ing knowing that you’re up there. We worked hard for it,” said Taylor Bomely, 16.

As they conversed amid the smell of fresh-brewed coffee, enjoying their breakfast of bagels and muf-fins, it was hard not to recognize the fact that these students repre-sented the dawn of a new future for Connecticut and the town of Newington. They sat with their families and fellow classmates. They conversed discussing the test and the future they foresee for themselves.

“I’m very proud of them,” said Wenker, “it really is a tremendous achievement. These assessments are not easy. It requires a level of disci-pline and perseverance to attain this kind of performance.”

The Connecticut Academic Performance Test is an exam taken by the high school sophomores throughout Connecticut as a way to test not only the aptitude of students but also the ability of a school system to teach basic aca-demics. The test focuses on four key areas of study including reading,

writing, mathematics, and science. Students are assessed on their abil-ity to comprehend these subject areas based on a 0 to 100 grading system. The students’ grades fall under five levels, one being the low-est level and five the highest. The

State of Connecticut requires all students reach at least the third or “Proficient” level of understanding, yet, Newington High School sets its goal even higher.

“We set our standards here at Newington at four, which is ‘Goal’ as opposed to ‘Proficient.’ We have set our standard higher than most schools in the state,” said Wenker. “There’s only a handful of schools that are setting it at four, so we

expect more from our students in terms of the tests.”

The students honored at the CAPT Scholars”breakfast reached a level-five understanding in each subject area of the test.

Newington High School has been one of the highest scoring high schools in the state setting a standard of academic performance that rivals few. In 2009 the average score of the Newington sophomores was in the 90th percentile across the four subject areas.

The students being honored at

the breakfast acted modestly in their recognition of academic per-formance thanking their teachers for their success. And this was only the beginning for these students. This was the dawn of their future, and the time to start planning for that future began long before they ever started their studies for the CAPT test.

“It’s rewarding to see your work go into something,” said Andrew Ancona, 16, “It’s exciting to see the world of opportunities that open up to you.”

the Newington football team came close to getting the win they yearned for, against the rivals they hate. But it just wasn’t meant to be this season, and the Indians fell 34-27 to Wethersfield on Thursday.

Although Newington couldn’t find that storybook ending to the season by getting the vic-tory, the game truly showed the team’s transformation through the season.

It all began with a 12-3 loss to New Britain — a team that had a difficult season itself. The game kept head coach Clay Hillyer happy about his defense, but gave him some worries about the offense. Early on this year, the Indians struggled to put points on the board and show any kind of consistency. Mistakes were made often and always at the wrong time.

A 22-19 loss to Simsbury s h o w e d Newington could be competitive, but the youth of the team, with only 11 seniors on the roster, showed. The game was riddled with penalties on the Newington side and the Indians gave up good field position and scoring chances due to player immaturity.

After Simsbury and New Britain, the Indians got stuck with one of the hardest schedules in the state. No team they played against in the last eight games finished with a record of less than .500. Three of the teams they face off against finished with 9-1 records, including Wethersfield, Bristol Eastern and Glastonbury. Overall, the eight teams finished the season with a combined record of 63-18.

Hillyer said all season that

experience matters. “It’s not what you do in practice, but what you do in game time situations,” he said. Playing against great com-petition seemed to pay off for Newington, eventually. Though no wins came out of their growth, the Indians did in fact grow.

The offense moved more towards a passing game, Hillyer saying “We’re going to do what works for us.” The running game wasn’t getting them anywhere, so a short passing game was installed.

Quarterback Jon Snyder was a consistent bright spot for the Indians all season. His passing numbers improved as the offense gained experience, his arm becoming more accurate as season progressed.

Going into the final few games of the season, one noticeable change was the significant decrease in penalties against Newington

compared to early in the year.

E v e r y o p p o s i n g coach gave N e w i n g t o n r e s p e c t , despite the disappointing record.

“I told the team all week in practice, I’m nervous,” said Southington coach D.J. Hernandez after their 27-18 defeat of the Indians. “Newington is a good football team.”

“I knew coming into the game it was going to be a dogfight,” said Wethersfield head coach John Campanello. “I knew that they were much better then their record was.”

From a championship-caliber team, to a team that can’t even manage a win, it’s easy to put down the Newington football team. Every school goes through a rebuilding year though. There is no team that competes at a high level every single year. The Indians have Snyder coming back

for his senior year, and with the experience the team has built

against the tough schedule they played this year, there is no doubt

good things will happen. A preview of some of those good

things to come for Newington was seen Thanksgiving Day against Wethersfield. The Indians scored more points in the first half of the game then they had in a whole game all season long. Everything was clicking. Penalties and mis-takes were at a minimum. It was a well played came on both sides, and Newington just couldn’t come out on top of a Wethersfield team that was already headed for the playoffs.

Think about it this way. One win will be an improvement next season.

All it takes is one win. With that one win, confidence will grow, and Newington could surprise us all next year.

Tough schedule makes for a season for growing

Hell and hilarity mixed at the Newington Kiwanis Club meeting Monday night when newspaper columnist Susan Campbell spoke about her new book, “Dating Jesus: A Story of Fundamentalism, Feminism, and the American Girl,” a biographical account of her life growing up as a fundamentalist Christian in the South.

Speaking to 30 guests, Campbell handled the normally controversial topic of religion adroitly, her jovial nature being greeted with laughter. “I had a speech written out,” Campbell said, as she stepped up in front of the crowd, “but I‘m just going to wing it.”

The crowd was instantly grasped by her subtle southern accent and drawn into her story, as she spoke, poking fun at herself for her accent and describing her move to the North, to live among “sharp-speaking Yankees.”

Campbell grew up in Webb City, Mo., a small Ozark town.

“Sports and Jesus” were everything in the town, she said, and she was involved at a young age, evangelizing by knocking on doors to spread the word. It was the 1970s

and the fundamentalist movement was in full swing, calling to all Protestant Christians to live their lives in a purer fashion. Campbell embraced the tenets of the movement, in a sense dating Jesus, if for no more reason than to outdo the achievements of her brothers, Tom and Dan, who were already receiving much attention within the church commu-nity, she joked.

Her fondest memories, she said, were the days she spent helping the people in her area. Spreading the name of Jesus and trying to attract new churchgoers became sacred to her. It was the calling she wanted to follow, she said, than being able to help others and touch those in need.

“It wasn’t about my car is nicer than yours, I have a bigger house. No, what’s mine is yours,” she said, “The whole idea about reli-gion is you reach out to others and that’s it.”

When she looks back now at the life she came from and how far she has journeyed from the depths of the Ozarks, Campbell says she is amazed. But what strikes her most is the fact that many former churchgoers, like herself, have stopped practicing fundamen-talist Christianity and have taken faith into their own hands.

“We got tired of using religion as a weap-on,” she said, “and I’m not saying all religion is used as a weapon, but mine was and that didn’t make me feel good.”

Today, in addition to her new book, Campbell publishes a column for the Hartford Courant, which lately has focused on the homeless and needy around the Hartford area.

She spoke about experiences working with the South Park Inn, a homeless shelter in Hartford, and her reactions to seeing cribs and families in these shelters and her need to write about it. She has published so many stories about the plight of these families, Campbell says she feels like she is turning into a broken record.

“I’m not saying I was put here by God to do this, but I don’t know what else to do,” Campbell said, about her stories. “This is why I got into journalism.”

“We are coming up on the holidays and you will see the red kettles from Salvation Army, you’ll have the opportunity to volun-teer with a faith group and we tend to think about it during the holiday season,” Campbell said, “But would be far more lovely is if we thought about that in March.”

As for her book, Campbell, didn’t even bring copies to the Kiwanis meeting, saying she hated the business side of publishing.

“Dating Jesus: A Story of Fundamentalism, Feminism, and the American Girl” is avail-able through Amazon.com.
