A new figurehead has been chosen topromote the town’s economic growth andspur development, while preserving what’simportant to Newington residents.After a lengthy selection process to

replace recently-retired Town PlannerEd Meehan, town officials chose Bristolresident Craig Minor, who held the sameposition in Cromwell for 22 years.“One thing I found interesting is that

Cromwell and Newington are very simi-lar,” said chairman of the Town Plan &Zoning Commission Dave Pruett, whowill be working closely with Minor toreview business applications as well aszoning and subdivision applications thatcome through the town.“Route 372 in Cromwell is very similar

arealsosimilartothoseinNewington,”he added of the comparison, whichwill provide Minor a smooth transi-tion into town.A Town Council subcommittee

helped narrow down the list of 25original applicants to four highly-qualified individuals who were theninterviewed by the full council.The Town Planner is the only

department head the council isresponsible for hiring, a delegationthat may soon be changed by the

Charter Revision Commission.“I think he has a really good per-

sonality and he seemed to understandwhatwewere looking for,”saidMayorSteve Woods. “We were comfortablewith his responses, he was familiarwith the state regulations involved inhis duties …we thought he was theright man for the job.”Officials were very discerning in

the process because they remem-ber referring to Meehan as “awalking encyclopedia on the town ofNewington.”

But their confidence is very appar-ent in choosing Minor, who Pruettthinks will make an excellent asset tothe town of Newington.“Nobody can replace Ed, he was a

very unique individual, but this willgive Craig a goal and a challenge totry and do that,” he said earlier thisweek, adding, “I’ve got the utmostconfidence in Craig’s ability.”Before being appointed town

planner in Cromwell, Minor had awealth of experience in the field —once serving as land use and zoningenforcement director in Litchfield,project Coordinator for the BristolDevelopment Authority and a pro-gram administrator in New Britain.Minor has a bachelor’s degree in

comparativeurbandevelopment fromthe University of Connecticut and amaster’s degree in urban and regionaldevelopment from the University ofCalifornia.He will begin workMonday,April

16 and plans on attending the TownPlan & Zoning Commission’s meet-ing nextWednesday,April 11.

The Newington Youth Ballethas been in rehearsals since theirOctober inception and will final-ly perform their first ballet “TheLegend of the Magical Forest”Saturday, April 21 at CentralConnecticut State University inNew Britain.The 50 ballerinas,many national

and international champions —range in age from 7 to 17 andare from all over Connecticut andMassachusetts, where ArtisticDirector and Founder Jane AlissaLevin, a Newington resident,teaches in five different dancestudios.Levin has an extensive back-

ground in the arts, performingprofessionally with The New YorkCity Ballet and as a soloist withThe Ballet Atlantic. Many of herstudents have also gone on to per-form professionally with the RoyalBallet in London, the American

Ballet Theater in New York City,the Rockettes, on the hit TV show“So You Think You Can Dance”and in various music videos andcommercials. One even made anappearance in the movie “TheAdjustment Bureau.”Those chosen to per-

form in “The Legend ofthe Magical Forest” werehand-selected for theirwork ethic, talent and teamspirit.Levin is hoping to recruit

more dancers and turn theNewington Youth Balletinto a non-profit organiza-tion. Her plan is to beginteaching regular classes atNewington Town Hall thiscoming fall.“My goal is to instill in my

dancers a sense of self-esteem,appreciation for themselves andtheir own bodies … and for themto have a sense of community,” sheexplained.“There’s so much competition

out there with sports and withschool, I think sometimes we forgetto give back to the community andthey lose the idea that their gifts,their talents, can benefit others.”The dancers will start by sharing

their art at local nursing homes,rehab centers and hospitals.“Many residents of these places

are completely forgotten, they have

no family and they just love to seethe kids perform.”The girls will also help raise

money for causes, like the non-profit “Running for Rescues,” whowill receive the proceeds from theirupcoming ballet thanks to a lonelyanimal who won Levin’s heart.

“I sawapictureof an8-montholdpit-bull at the Newington AnimalShelter,” she explained, adding thatthe breed is in particular danger ofeuthanasia due to misconceptionsabout their aggression leading toless frequent adoptions.When she befriended the dog,

Levin knew she couldn’t rest untilit found a safe, happy home.

In her search for help, shecame across a woman fromRunning for Rescues, whooffered to pay the adoptionfee and medical expenses foran individual to adopt the ani-mal. When his life was saved,that was all the reason Levinneeded to designate the orga-nization as ballet benefactor.“I’m a huge animal fan, if

you can’t tell,” she laughed.And it shows in “The

Legend of theMagical Forest,”whichLevin beganwriting 12 yearsago and choreographed herself.The intricate story she trans-

formed into a ballet involves acharacter who carries into the for-est a heart of faith, love and hope,and places it in a special spot.

As long as it remains there, theanimals who live in the forest loveeach other and are infinitely happy.But another group of characterssneak in and steal the heart, caus-ing the animals to turn on eachother before two with immunitycome to the rescue and all is wellagain.“This is a wonderful children’s

ballet that can be enjoyed by adultsas well as children,” says Levin,adding, “It’s a story where love andcaring reign and evil is destroyed.”Fall classes of the Newington

Youth Ballet are still in the plan-ning stages, but would occur at theTown Hall Wednesday eveningsfrom 4:30 to 7 p.m.“The Legend of The Magical

Forest” will be presented Saturday,April 21 at 7 p.m. in the WelteAuditorium at CCSU, 1615Stanley St., New Britain. Ticketsare $15.To purchase tickets, inquire

about classes, or to learn moreabout the Newington Youth Ballet,call Jane Alissa Levin at (860) 986-9847 or (860) 436-6845, or emailher at [email protected].

Employees atWethersfield and Newingtonhealth care centers may finally have contractsettlements in the works as the New EnglandHealth Care Employees Union,District 1199,agreed to eight bargaining sessions in Apriland May with Healthbridge Management,the company that owns the nursing homefacilities.Onehundred employees locked out ofWest

River Health Care Center in Milford, one ofHealthbridge’s other Connecticut locations,began returning to work Wednesday afterbeing locked out since Dec. 13.Healthbridge enforced the lock-out because

the Union that represented them as work-ers was “not taking negotiations seriously.”Ed Remillard, spokesperson for Healthbridge,also claimed that the union was offered nearly150 dates for bargaining since their first ses-sion on Jan. 25, 2011 but has refused to meetmore than once or twice a month and the“tone” of their acceptance letter was “causingconcern.”“We hope that they will bring a more con-

structive attitude to the bargaining sessions,and that they will work together with us to

negotiate realistic contracts and thus avoid theneed for any future lockouts.”But the union claims the company is not

willing to compromise during negotiations.“They want union employees to agree to

surrender virtually all economic gains achievedover many years of collective bargaining andaccept the same economic terms unilater-ally imposed on non-union employees,” saidDistrict1199spokespersonDeborahChernoff,adding that Healthbridge is proposing nopension, no Training Fund, no paid lunch,no overtime after eight hours, and massiveemployee contributions for health coverage.This comes more than a month after the

National Labor Relations Board issued com-plaints against theNew Jersey-based company,citing them for unlawful lockout and bad faithbargaining. Two weeks ago after the statedenied HealthBridge permission to close thefacility in Wethersfield, they promptly laid off74 workers.Wethersfield Health Care Centerhas also stopped admitting new residents sincethe fall and according to Chernoff, are “delib-erately allowing the census to fall so they canclaim that the facility is unsustainable.”Bargaining sessions are scheduled for April

11, 17, 24 and 25 andMay 1,10, 15 and 22.Rob Heyl | Staff

all the kids loved hanging outwith him,” said Gagnon, whohas over 20 years of experiencedoing hair.But it was when her son Zach

was born seven months ago thatshe realized she’d need someextra help.That’s around the time when

Theo, they are perfectly content

HARTFORD — State policeare denying any role in the deathof a Newington police officer whowas killed in a 2005 murder-suicideby her state trooper ex-boyfriend,according to a new court documentfiled by the attorney general’s office.Assistant Attorney General

Matthew Beizer on Monday filedthe state’s response to a lawsuitbrought last month in HartfordSuperior Court by the family ofCiara McDermott.The 30-year-oldWest Hartford resident was shot todeath in her home in November2005 by Trooper Victor Diaz, whothen killed himself.Authorities say Diaz used his

own personal .40-caliber handgunin the shootings. State police offi-cials had seized that gun in March2005 after Diaz was arrested whileoff duty in Cromwell on charges ofdrunken driving and resisting arrest,but returned it to his brother in July2005 after the criminal case was

resolved and after an internal affairsinvestigation was finished.The lawsuit claims state police

were negligent in returning thegun to Diaz’s brother, who livedwith Diaz, because officials knewor should have known that Diazwas mentally unstable and prone toviolence. Beizer denied those allega-tions in the court document filedMonday.Diaz ended up being suspended

from his job for 60 days effective inlateOctober 2005.On the day of themurder-suicide, Diaz was supposedto surrender toWestHartford policeon new allegations that he illegallyused a police database to obtaininformation on McDermott’s newboyfriend,who was aWestHartfordpolice officer, and made harassingphone calls to McDermott.McDermott’s family said they

were seeking $5 million when theyasked the state for permission tofile the lawsuit, which is required bystate law when anyone sues the state.The legislature approved the requestlast year.

TRACK & FIELDCoach: Robert Rubin (1st year)Last year: Record 1-6, 5th place

CCCWestKey losses: Connor SheaKey returnees: Jason Bielesz (sr.)

long jump, 4x100 relay, PatrickMurphy (sr.) javelin discus, SpencerGaglione (sr.) 1,600,3,200.

Outlook: Robert Rubin is trying tomake his first impression a good one.The first year coach for the Indians istrying to change the culture for theNewington boys track and field teamand he knows the only way to do thatis through hard work.Rubin has already gotten his team

to train harder, and hit the weightroommore frequently.He’s also pro-vided them with a work ethic thatmay have been lacking in season’spast.It seems to be working since the

team has grown in size, according toRubin.“We’re trying to make it more

energized,”Rubin said. “We’re work-ing out four days a week. We keepgetting bigger and stronger. We’vealmost doubled the squad this yearfrom what I’ve seen. We have a lotmore guys out there.”Last year’s 1-6 finish and a 29th

place ending in Class L finals clearlydidn’t portray the team’s potential.But with more bodies on the teamand a motivated coach in Rubin theIndians may begin to make somenoise.“We’re really looking to improve

from being a last place team,”Rubinsaid.“We’ve got kids here from othersports we didn’t have in the past.They’re really busting their butts.”Senior pole vaulter, sprinter and

jumper Jason Bielesz returns to leadthe Indians. Senior Patrick Murphywho placed seventh in Class L inthe javelin throw a season ago hasalso made his way back to the team.Senior distance runner SpencerGaglione returns to run the one andtwo mile events and is a hopeful tomake states.“Jason has taken a real leadership

role for us [and] he’s someone I cancount on,” Rubin said. “He’s donea great job for us. [And] Patrick,we’re expecting big things from himthis year. We’re expecting him to bea force. He’s been working hard allyear.”

GIRLS GOLFHead Coach: Richard Condon 18th

season (110-134-4)Last Year: 6-11-1Key Departures: Sara Siviski,

Danielle Sumoski

Key Returnees: Krista Ellis (sr.),Courtney Oushana (jr.), NatalieZaleski (sr.),Molly Simeone (sr.)

Outlook: The Indians girls golfteammay have a secret weapon in itsgolf bag this season.Returning senior Krista Ellis will

head a much improved Newingtonteam, looking to build off an averageyear in 2011.“I think Krista will be the leader,”

Newington coach Richard Condonsaid, “based on previous years andwhat shes doing so far this year. She’sthe lowest scorer in the bunch.Kristais breaking 50 every day so far.”If she breaks 50 every day during

the regular season, and gets some lowscores from her fellow teammates,including seniors Natalie Zaleski andMolly Simeone, the Indians shouldimprove their win total in 2012.“Krista has hit several scores in the

40s and she’s playing more consistentso far,” the coach said. “And Nataliehad a score better than any in her lifethe other day that a positive thing.”Joining the trio of seniors will be

junior Courtney Oushana, who per-haps has the most potential of anyIndians golfer.“Courtney has a beautiful swing,”

Condon said. “She can hit the ballwell, and when she puts the mind toit she canbe good.Iwould predict herto be one of my best this year.”The positive attitude and increased

level of experience should help liftthe Indians into contention in manymore matches in the difficult CCC.“I think we will do better this year

than we did last year,” Condon said.“I think the seniors want to do bet-ter and I think they’re going to putmore into it this year that they havein the past.”

SOFTBALL

Coach: SteveMarkie (13th year)Last year: 7-13Key losses: Lauren Tosi, Brittany

UrciuoliKey returnees: Stephanie Sales, sr.

c,EileenHogan sr.1b,Maura Skehansr. ss.

Outlook: The Indians were a gameshy of the playoffs and lost two .350hitters.“It will be a group effort I guess,”

Markie said of replacing his dynamicduo.“The good thing is we have a lotof kids back from last year.Hopefullythey’ll all get a little bit better and col-lectively we can make up for them.”Sales will have to have another big

year offensively and guide which-ever young pitcher the Indians endup going with in the circle. Hogan

showed plenty of offensive ability lastyear, but must continue to becomemore consistent,as she was late in theyear, to be a key piece. Lefty sopho-more Dana Gionfriddo should be aspark at the top of the order whilefreshman Olivia Burgos does a bit ofeverything and could pitch, as couldSarah Courtemanche.Expect Newington to play a lot of

low-scoring games this year. If theIndians can win eight of them,they’llplay on.

GIRLS TENNIS

Coach: Karl Schweiger (2nd year)Last year: 13-3, First round loss in

Class LKey losses: Bianka Horvath, Lisa

Wojanowski,Emily Genuzzi.Key returnees: Riya Abraham (so.)

No.1 singles,Bayley Leffard (sr.) No.2 singles, Rebecca Chapman (sr.)No. 3 singles, Rachel Lindstrom (sr.)doubles, Maurice Villano (sr.) dou-bles,AlexandraGaglione (jr.)doubles,Wictoria Bis (fr.) doubles.

Outlook: It might be tough forthe Newington girls tennis team torecord 13 wins again this season sincethe team is in more of a rebuildingphase.Still, there are some promising

young players returning to the courtfor the Indians.“It’s a young team [and] it’s a

rebuilding team,” Newington coachKarl Schweiger said. “You have to berealistic on what your expectationsare. It’s hard to tell what’s going tohappen.”Newington lost its No. 1 singles

player Bianka Horvath and its No.1 doubles team, Lisa Wojanowskiand Emily Genuzzi. So it’s no won-der Schweiger is looking to rebuild.But with seniors Bayley Leffard andRebecca Chapman returning as cap-tains to play to No. 2 and No. 3singles spot, Newington has a fight-ing chance to keep on the winningside.Sophomore Riya Abraham also

returns to the team to man the No.1singles post for the Indians.“She’s very strong,”Schweiger said

of Abraham, a STA-ranked player.“She holds two rankings in NewEngland, one in the 18-and-underand one in the 16-and-under. Sheshould make the State Open at theend of the year.”Schweiger knows well enough

about the conference powerhouses.Hall, Conard and Simsbury are outthere are the Indians will have to playthrough them“I think they are our toughest

opponents,” Schweiger said. “Thoseare teams we lost to last year.The Indians will face some new

challenges too. Schools like E.O.Smith is one of a small handful ofteams on Newington’s schedule thisyear that the team didn’t play lastseason.“This year we have a different

schedule,” Schweiger said. “I cantreally say how it’s going to be.”

BASEBALL

Head Coach:Eric Frank (15th sea-son, 177-124)

Last Year: 17-8, won Class LLState Championship

Key Departures: Cole Bryant p/1b,Tyler Barrett c, Armando Soler ss,Alex Fretz p.

Key Returnees: Sam Tinkham(sr.) p/1b, Jon Snyder (sr.) of, TylerEastwood (sr.) p,Fred Burgos (sr.) of,Josh Barnett (sr.) 2b, Ryan Callahan(sr.) of, Pat Meucci (jr.) 3b, BryantMorander, (jr.) p.

Outlook: Newington put togetherone of the most memorable postsea-son runs in recenthistory as it claimedtheClassLL state title last season in adramatic final against high-powered

Southington. And with the majorityof their starters returning this year,the Indians have ample firepowerwith which to defend their title.“We have six returning starters

from last year’s team,” Newingtonhead coach Eric Frank said. “Whatit does do is give our guys a lotof confidence and also helps themunderstand what it takes to be suc-cessful.”

However, 2012 is a different year,and Newington needs to avoid com-placency.“Our guys need to be hungry,”

Frank said. “We preach mentaltoughness. We can’t rest on whathappened last year. Guys can’t besatisfied with that.We’ve got a lot ofcompetitors on our team that want tobe successful. Last year’s experienceswill be memories for the rest of their

lives but they understand this yearit won’t be easy. They have to workhard.”Thus far, the Indians are picking

up right where they left off.“We’ve had a pretty good pre-

season,” Frank said. “I like theirchemistry.We have to fill in a couplekey spots at catcher and shortstop butthere are a couple guys we like andwere looking forward to the season.”

BY ERICA SCHMITTSTAFF WRITER

Since 1915, QST magazine hasbrought the world of amateur radio toaficionados (more casually referred to as“hams”)allover theworldandthis June,they will be presenting their very firstE-Edition to their 157,000 subscribers.Radio hams are well-versed in radio

technique and identify themselves bytheir “call-signs”— the personal radiofrequencies they use to exchange mes-sageswithpeopleallovertheworld.Andmany live right here inNewington.“We don’t want to do away with

‘The Dead Tree Model’ that’s workedsowell for us for this long,”beganQSTManaging Editor Joel Kleinman (callsign:N1BKE),the special guest speak-er at the Newington Amateur RadioLeague’smeetingMonday night.But, he told the group of about 25

hams the digital edition is better forthe environment, with smartphonesit can be accessed from anywhere, it’s

fairly inexpensive and most impor-tantly, there will no longer be a pagelimit for stories and columns.“We also have the opportunity to

add video and audio links and all kindsof things that are just limited to theimagination,”he continued,adding thatthere will be no extra charge for sub-scribers to access the online magazineand the print version isn’t going any-where,either.

“It’s been published continuouslysince 1915 except from October 1917toMay1919whenham radiowas sus-pended,during andafterWorldWar I,”Kleinman explained of a brief periodwhen the United States governmentthoughthamradiowascausingharm-ful interference on the airwaves.The Meriden resident has been a

member of the NARL since the late’70s but recently not an active one, due

to his busy career producingQSTwiththe help of just 20 others.The NARL holds a number of

yearly activities, including a flea marketand “Hamfest” the third Saturday inJune.They also award a $500 scholar-ship to a graduating high school senior

in the Capital Region each year. “FieldDay”is one of themost exciting events,when The National Association forAmateur Radio gathers leagues all overthecountry toparticipate inaprepared-ness exercise and camp-out.Newington resident Al Cohen, 94,

who organized Monday’s program, isnow an NARL life-member and hasbeen interested in amateur radio sincehewas a child.His firstunderstandingof radio,back

in 1931,was amagical experience.“I was fascinatedwith how the radio

could reach out and pull in all thesevoices,”recalledCohen,whodidn’t haveenoughmoney to go to pilot school sodecidedas a teenagerhe’dusehishobbyof talking inMorse code as a jump-offinto a career in the radio industry.Over the years he’s done it all:

repaired radios, climbed the ranksin the broadcast engineering depart-ment of an electric supply businessand worked for an RCA distributor.Kleinman joked that Cohen was

“the only original subscriber in theroom,” Monday, before adding thathe is still stuck in the print age him-self but it’s impossible to tell whatmedium QST magazine might beprinted in five or 10 years from now.That’s because technology — aside

from the ham radio itself — is con-stantly changing.To learn more about the NARL,

visit narl.net or attend one of theirregular meetings the first Monday ofevery month at the Newington SeniorCenter on Cedar Street, 7 p.m. Toexplore theworld of amateur radio,visitWeDoThat-radio.org.
