Fire is a powerful and destructive force that most of us don’t understand, but think we can survive. Most home fire fatalities are caused by carelessness with cigarettes. If you have smokers in your home, make sure that there are large ashtrays for their use. Home heating is also a major cause of home fires. It is impor-tant that you have your heating system inspected annu-ally. To keep the kitchen safe, make sure areas around the stove are kept free of grease buildup. If you have a fire on the stove, put a lid on it. For a home inspection checklist on home fire safety, contact the Rocky Hill Fire Department.

be ParT OF THe SOlUTiON! If you know someone who smokes, be part of the solution. Urge your friend to get help and quit. Be a real friend.

diabeTeS FaCTS: The American Diabetes Association is the nation’s leading non-profit health organization providing diabetes research, information and advoca-cy. You can call the Diabetes Information and Action Line, 1-800-DIABETES, for information on all aspects of diabetes management and local programs and servic-es, including Diabetes Education Classes, Year-round youth programs, Counseling and support groups, Advocacy services and Information & referral services. For more information, contact the American Diabetes Association, 1-800-DIABETES or visit their website at www.diabetes.org.

NaTiONWide, smoking costs the United States an esti-mated $65 billion dollars every year in both healthcare costs and lost productivity!

TeST YOUr WaTer: HOT WaTer can burn as badly as fire. Most adults will suffer a third degree burn, the worst kind, if exposed to 150˚F water for only two seconds! Children and the elderly have more sensi-tive skin that burns even quicker. The major cause of scalds in homes is the water heater set too high. Test your water temperature with a meat thermometer at each faucet. If the temperature is over 120˚F, turn your water heater down. Never leave a child alone in a sink or bathtub.

CHild SaFeTY seats and safety belts are very effec-tive... providing they’re used. It’s the law here in Connecticut and it’s a law your kids can live with, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

laNgUage is the cor-nerstone of reading. Talk to your baby– during bath-time, at play, when chang-ing him or her, at feed-ing times. Sing to your baby and recite nursery rhymes. Before the age of one, babies like to handle books more than being read to. Let them choose cardboard or cloth books. Take your baby to the park, the zoo, the library, the store. Babies learn from everything they see.

YOUNg PeOPle need the skills to resist peer pres-sure and to take respon-sibility for not using alco-hol and other drugs. Teach them; help them to feel proud of their efforts. Spend time engaged with them in non-violent, esteem-building activities. Make a difference that will stay with them for a life-time.

It Only takes a min-ute for a fire burning in a house to grow to three times its original size. Fire is hot, deadly and fast If you’re the one to discover a fire, sound the alarm; let the other people in the building know they need to evacuate. As you leave, close as many doors as possible to confine the fire. Call the fire depart-ment from a neighbor’s. Don’t take a chance on getting trapped. Make sure no one goes back into the building.

Got Toilet Paper?The Newington Children’s Theatre Company (NCTC) has part-nered with the Newington’s Department of Human Services to bring you a special ticket discount to NCTC’s upcoming musi-cal, Urinetown! In an effort to help Human Services stock up on an essential item, NCTC is asking patrons to bring a four-pack of toilet paper to donate in exchange for $4 off their ticket price for the Saturday matinee performance, Oct. 27, at 2 p.m.!One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he’s had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!Performances are Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26-28, at 7 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Pre-purchased tick-ets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors, students and chil-dren.

Cedar Mountain Development Questioned at Public Hearingby Mark DiPaola

A third Toll Brothers, Inc. Cedar Mountain development pro-posal stood trial at a packed New-ington Conservation Commission public hearing last Tuesday, Oct. 16, while commission members and local residents grilled the proj-ect’s team in cross examination fashion.

For Toll Brothers, the new application is a proverbial clean slate--a fresh plan designed to alle-viate concerns regarding wetland protection--but for the embattled Newington and Wethersfield resi-dents that were in attendance, it represents yet another chapter in a four-year struggle to protect wild-life and infrastructure in the two towns.

But with the resilience that carried them through fighting the first two Toll Brothers applica-tions, a 71 lot proposal and then a 62 lot-plan, the residents stood their ground, determined to have their say, even as the five-hour meeting crept closer to 12 a.m.

At 11 p.m., Commissioner Philip Block asked those in atten-dance if they would like to contin-ue the proceedings at another date.

“They got two hours,” some-one from the audience shouted, referring to the lengthy presenta-tion Toll Brothers gave prior to the public comment segment. “We want two hours.”

To the northwest of Cedar Mountain is Russell Road in Wethersfield, which residents fear will become the recipient of infra-

structure damage from blasting, a controversial rock removal tech-nique, increased traffic to the near-by roads and excess storm water runoff from proposed Toll Broth-ers installed detention basins.

“The drainage relieved from the detention ponds will enter the Town of Wethersfield’s storm sewer system within the develop-ment across the street and even-tually flow right into the wetland that we have adjacent to this prop-erty,” Wethersfield Town Manager Jeff Bridges told the commission on Tuesday night. “If those pods fail, it may just overwhelm our system.”

Wetlands preservation is at the focal point of the issue, par-ticularly in Newington, where the area that has become known as Wetland B lies within Cedar Mountain but outside the proposed 29-mile development area. One of the main concerns is that blasting, which utilizes explosives to re-move hard, dense trap rock in or-der to construct basements, utility trenches and alter terrain gradient, will create fissures in the bedrock of nearby wetlands, causing water leakage.

“Eighteen lots contain wet-lands that won’t be built upon, supposedly,” Newington resident Gary Bolles said. “However, the adjacent blasting may still affect those 18 lots.”

Well, no, Toll Brothers as-serted. Potential for rock breakage only exists within a 10-foot radius of the blasting point, according to hydro-geologist Russ Sleighback,

a Toll Brothers consultant on the project. Neither would it impact a smaller, isolated wetland east of the development area, he said.

“Your deepest blasting will be for basements, which will go down maybe 10, 11 feet, and respecting that 100-foot setback, you’ll have 90 feet of protection,” Sleighback said.

Toll Brothers also plans to in-stall some of its own measures of protection. The site known as Wet-land B does not rely on ground-water, but precipitation and runoff from melted snow, as evidenced by dryness during the summer, said Ron Abrams, an environmen-tal consultant on the project.

“We’ve ensured, with the drainage design and edge treat-ments, that the water will return in a natural pattern to the wetland,” Abrams said.

There will be a storm water management facility, or detention basin, at five locations around the site in order to protect storm sew-ers and wetlands from excessive runoff, Ron Gradwell, principal engineer of the project said.

The basins will be landscaped with native vegetation in order to ensure water quality, Abrams said. If the basins are not properly main-tained, measures, such as inch tall, naturally planted “swales” will be planted at the edge of yards bor-dering the wetlands in order to in-tercept water.

“These features have been proven to work,” Abrams said. “In fact, one project, Saratoga Nation-al Golf course, the CDC uses it to

train their staff on how to design wetland protection.”

The sales pitch might sound good, but for the residents attend-ing the hearing, it’s impossible to be completely sure. It is, after all, their backyard, which poses an-other question--who is responsible for maintaining and implementing these protection measures?

That has not been decided yet, but the prospect that it may fall on the backs of private homeown-ers associations is already making some people cringe. Bridges, who came to the meeting to request in-tervener status, which will privy Wethersfield to all messages and documents related to the project, said that private homeowners as-sociations lack the funds, as well as the incentive, to shoulder that task. Such a mandate would also be difficult to enforce, he said.

“This approach is unwork-able,” Bridges said. “The Town of Wethersfield has had seven in-stances where developments were approved that relied upon deten-tion basins being maintained by private homeowners associations. In these instances, the homeown-ers associations failed to perform the required maintenance.”

The responsibility should fall on Toll Brothers, but it’s on the town to make sure they do not ne-glect it, Newington resident David Tatum told the commission.

“If anything moves forward, we really need to make sure any-thing that is asked of Toll Brothers is actually done,” he said. “I don’t trust anything they have to say.”

Gayle Raducha, a Wethers-field resident, spoke against the project for the second time in two nights. Last Monday, Oct. 15, she was fighting the project from her side of the tracks by imploring her own elected officials to take a more active role in holding Toll Brothers accountable.

“Once finished, the project will leave behind a path of envi-ronmental destruction and costly problems,” Raducha told the com-mission Tuesday.

Toll Brothers has several marks on its record when it comes to following through with envi-ronmental protection measures. In June, the company paid a civil penalty of $741,000 to the EPA and Justice Department for viola-tions of the Clean Water Act at 370 sites in 23 states.

“There are literally hundreds of thousands of examples of Toll Brothers’ complete disregard for contracts, requirements, and en-vironmental regulation,” Raducha said.

The EPA/Justice Department lawsuit against Toll Brothers al-leged a total of 600 Clean Water Act violations.

“Just because they say they’ll do it, doesn’t seem to mean any-thing,” Tatum told the commis-sion. “I encourage you to do what’s right, and not worry about possible lawsuits down the road. Hold them accountable every step of the way, and long after they’ve left town with their wads of cash.”

Students and faculty at Newington High School used their annual pep rally to not only stir up some school spirit, but to lift the spirits of a staff member in the wake of tragedy.

The Student Council organized a “Dunk a Faculty” fundraiser to close out the pep rally Friday to show support for NHS hall monitor of over a decade Tom Bag-gerio, 82, whose wife sustained third-degree burns over 35 percent of her body as a result of a kitchen fire in their home Sept. 28. Though Baggerio’s wife has passed away since the event, the dunk raised more than $1,000 for his family.

Twelve teachers--known as “The Dunkable Dozen”-- lined up in the gymnasium Friday, waiting to see if they would be one of the three fated to go for a swim in the icy cold water in the dunking booth right outside the gym’s doors. The dozen in-

cluded four administrators, the school resource officer, the head football coach, two former Newington teachers of the year and a few other teachers, including Student Council advisor Melissa Morello.

Ultimately, special education teacher Karin Lewis, School Resource Officer Tim Cunningham and Assistant Principal Terra Piela were chosen to run through a tunnel of balloons leading from the gym to the dunking booth outside. Students watched from a projection screen inside the gym and erupted in a cheer each time the faculty member took the plunge.

27th District Assem-bly candidates Sandy Nafis (D) and Benjamin Ancona (R) are zeroing in on job creation, taxes, and educa-tion, amongst other issues, as they prepare to face-off in the Connecticut House election.

Nafis, the incumbent, is a known supporter of state-incentive programs, most notably the Small Business Express Program that poured $291 million into Jackson Labs, a genet-ics research company, that have been implemented in an effort to create jobs by keeping businesses from leaving the state.

“The bigger invest-ments, I believe in the long run, are going to provide a whole industry sector to our state,” Nafis said.

Ancona, on the other hand, referred to the pro-gram as “crony capital-ism.”

“It’s giving money to big businesses that don’t need it,” he said. “How about tax breaks for ev-eryone? Not just the politi-cally connected.”

Nafis noted that the program also provided tax credits for small business-es in exchange for creating new jobs. The program in-vested $180 million in aid

to small businesses over a two-year period, she said.

“When times are dif-ficult, that’s when govern-ment has to step in,” Nafis said. “Once things get go-ing, government can step back.”

Government should stay out of job creation period, and stop private sector-hindering taxation, Ancona said.

“It’s imperative that we slow this growth in gov-ernment at every level,” Ancona said. “I would be a very loud voice against any growth in government, any growth in taxation, and an opponent of any-one in Hartford in favor of building a bus way no one would use.”

Ancona cited the con-troversial Hartford/New Britain busway project, a 9-mile bus-only road be-tween the two cities, as an example of what he refers to as “reckless spending” in Hartford. The project is expected to cost $567 mil-lion. Nafis is employed by a firm acting as a consultant for the project, prompting her to refrain from com-menting on the issue.

“I’ve been doing doors for weeks and I have not met a single person who wants this busway,” Ancona said.

The incumbent Nafis

has focused much of her eight-term tenure on the issue of education. The current Deputy Major-ity leader has fought for special education fund-ing, increased cost sharing dollars to her Newington constituents, and brought $300,000 for new technol-ogy to her school district, amongst other efforts.

Both candidates are looking to reexamine how education is funded and are looking to ease the burden on property tax payers. Ancona said that the use of cost sharing, in which the state pays a portion for education based on a mu-nicipality’s need, amongst other factors, “is a good step,” but more needs to be done to reduce the role of property taxes.

“It puts seniors against young parents with kids in the school system,” he said. “We ought to figure a way for the state to pick up a lot more so it’s not put on the backs of property tax payers.”

Ancona and Nafis both said they would both like to see a larger state role in education funding, without municipalities for-feiting control over how their schools are run.

What’s Happening

Wethersfield?Console Challenges Morin for 28th District Seat

by Mark DiPaola

The 28th District Assembly election between Connecticut House incumbent Russell Morin (D) and challenger John Console (R), both Wethersfield residents, is heating up, with taxes, job creation, and education amongst the hot button issues fueling the fire.

A fiscal conservative, Console is an outspoken advocate for tax decreases.

“At a minimum, there could be a 10 percent decrease in taxes and with proper structure of how government runs, you wouldn’t skip a beat,” he said

Morin said that he is not opposed to tax cuts to increase government efficiency and “reduce redundancies” as long as they are made sensibly and without hampering crucial programs.

“I’m not for cutting taxes just for the sake of cutting taxes,” he said.

On the issue of job creation, Morin

has spoken out in favor of state-funded incentive programs, such as the Small Business Express Program that is brining Jackson Labs to the state, designed to keep businesses in Connecticut, while Console said he doubts that the state’s job-seekers will reap the benefits its proponents claim it will bring.

“It’s a new industry, yes, but we have industries in the state that are leaving and we’re bringing this bioscience industry, but big manufacturing companies are tak-ing their business down south,” Console said. “So we’re not cultivating and help-ing the businesses that have been here for years.”

A proponent of such measures, Mo-rin argues that the presence of companies such as Jackson Labs will encourage state universities and other educational institu-tions to adapt their curriculums to prepare students to take jobs in new sectors. He is also in favor of continuing programs that

partner manufacturing companies with technical schools in order to build a labor force to fill those jobs.

“We have to be proactive in keeping the big employers here and attract new ones,” Morin said.

Console has fielded criticism from his opponent for voting against Wethers-field’s Board of Education budget, which he said was not a move to hinder education growth in his municipality. His approach when it comes to education seems to mir-ror that of his tax stance--it is not about how much money, but what you do with it. He noted that despite yearly tax increases, Wethersfield’s standardized test scores re-main stagnant.

“[The Board of Education’s] way of fixing the problem is throwing more money at it,” he said. “That doesn’t fix anything. If we were to give the Board of Education another five million dollars, our rankings would not go up because they’re

too bogged down in bureaucracy.” The town’s education budget, which

the Town Council approved 8-1, included beneficial additions such as all-day kin-dergarten and reduced class sizes result-ing from the hiring of new teachers, Morin said.

“He can say whatever it is he wants, but everyone in town has been supportive of what the Board of Education is doing,” Morin said.

A business owner and former finan-cial services executive, Console is cur-rently the Deputy Mayor of Wethersfield.

A former Wethersfield mayor and Board of Education member, Morin has served in the state House of Represen-tatives since 2006. He chairs the Gov-ernment, Administration and Elections Committee, and is a member of both the Finance and Transportation committees.

10/9: Benjamin Perez, 48, of 24 Fourth St., Meriden, was charged with second-degree failure to appear, police said.

10/9: Anthony Dawkins, 26, of 6 Car-penter Ln., Bloomfield, was charged with failure to pay or plead, police said.

Wethersfield Represented at Alzheimer’s WalkWethersfield na-

tive Lisa Kociubinski and her team raised $1,500 dollars for the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion 2012 Walk to End Alzheimer’s Sunday, Oct. 14, in Bushnell Park.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the na-tion’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheim-er’s care, support and research. Kociubin-ski and her team, Pet Stars, consisted of Cecilia and Jerome Burns of Danbury, and Anthony Mon-terulo of Carmel, N.Y. Through various fun-draising efforts team Pet Stars was able to raise $1,500 for the Alzheimer’s Asso-ciation Connecticut chapter.

The Alzheimer’s Association provides care, education, sup-port and resources in communities nation-wide.

Together, Kociu-binski and her team walked in loving

memory of her grand-mother, Weronika Cwiek, who lost a bat-tle with Alzheimer’s last year.

According to in-formation from the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion, more than 5 mil-

lion Americans have Alzheimer’s, a num-ber that is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. The Association also indicated that many of America’s baby boomers will spend

their retirement years either with Alzheim-er’s or caring for someone who has it.

Kociubinski said she wishes many thanks to every-one that supported her fundraising ef-

forts in the fight against Alzheimer’s, especially her team, family and friends, the ladies at Curves of West Hartford, and Fashion Flair Inc. beauty salon.

A parade of dogs marched around the Veterans Memorial Ampithe-ater at Elm Ridge Park Saturday at the annual Rocky Hill Fallfest.

In addition to showing off their dogs, festival-goers enjoyed a day of amusement rides, face painting, crafts, games, gifts, hayrides and pony rides.

The festival lit up Elm Ridge as people packed the park to enjoy the fun at night.

Rocky Hill’s Tim Kaseta will play the role of the he-roic “Bobby Strong” in Newington Chil-dren’s Theater Com-pany’s upcoming musical, Urinetown, Oct. 26-28.

Urinetown is a tale of greed, cor-ruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold.

The Tony-award winning show written by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis is based on a somewhat unpleasant premise and turns it com-pletely upside down, producing an enter-taining production of contemporary musi-cal theatre.

Urinetown is di-rected by Christa Piz-zoferrato of Newing-ton, choreographed by Jessie Sattler of Newington and mu-sically directed by Sarah Laurenzano. Kaseta is joined by a cast of teens from more than different towns including So-

phia Ancona, Kailin Brooks, Bridget Corcoran, Abby Ge-remia, Celeste Gi-gliotti, Rachel Huff, Katie Klein, Michael Luszczak, Allison Madrazo, Dean Ma-rino, Jr, Haylee Mor-gan, Seann Morgan, Devin Orde, Cassie Orkin, Bella Singer, Ryan Turf and Josh Wagner.

Pe r fo rmances are Oct. 26-28, Fri-

day and Saturday at 7p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.. Pre-pur-chased tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors, students and children. At the door, tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors, students and children. Tickets are available by calling 860-666-NCTC or online at www.NCT-CArts.org.

Chief Anthony J. Salvatore of the Cromwell Police Department is making the following Halloween safety recommendations to all trick or treaters (and their parents) to ensure child safety for Halloween:

-Wear light-colored clothing short enough to prevent tripping, and add reflectors.

-Make sure the child can see well through their face masks.

-An adult should accompany young children.

-Try to go out early and carry a flashlight in case of delay.

-Stay within your neighborhood and only visit homes you know.

-Watch for traffic.

-Only give and accept wrapped or packaged candy.

-Examine candy before allowing children to eat it.

These Halloween safety tips are being made to ensure that all trick or treaters have a safe and happy Halloween. However, if parents do suspect candy tampering, they should contact the Cromwell Police Department at 860-635-2256 as soon as pos-sible.

Core exercises becoming more popularFitness-conscious men and women have no doubt noticed the growing popularity of core exercises. Core exercises are those that focus on the body’s core muscles, or those around the trunk and pelvis. These exercises are a focus of fitness center programs and have even been integrated into the workout regimens of professional athletes in all sports.

But those unfamiliar with core exercises might not understand why they have become so popular, or why they have proven so effective. The following are some of the reasons core exercises have become such a significant part of many training regimens.

* Core exercises help improve balance and stability. Core exercises require the core muscles, including the abdominals, hips, lower back, and pelvis, to work together. When muscles work together, the result is improved balance and stability, which helps athletes perform better and non-athletes better cope with the physical demands of everyday life.

* Core exercises improve the appearance of abdominals. While it might not be the best reason to workout, physical appearance is a significant reason many people have such a strong commitment to exercise. Core exercises strengthen and tone the underlying muscles of the abdominals. When coupled with aerobic activity that burns abdominal fat, core exercises help turn flabby abdominals into the envy of fellow fitness enthusiasts.

* Core exercises impact everyday life. Another reason many people commit to working their core muscles is the impact such activity has on everyday life. Core exercises help improve posture, which can reduce, if not eliminate, lower back pain and other muscle injuries. Eliminating that pain can greatly improve quality of life. In addition, core exer-cises can make it easier to excel in sports such as golf, a benefit that, to golfers, is worth its weight in gold.

* Core exercises are free. Core exercises can be done without any costly machinery, and men and women can do them at home without having to pay for a monthly gym mem-bership. However, it helps to get some instruction before beginning a core exercise regimen, as the exercises are not easy and the risk of injury is high for the inexperienced who don’t have anyone to show them what to do.

Aging As we age, so do our feet. With aging, the ligaments and tendons about the feet can lose their supportive func-tion resulting in many foot problems. Fallen arches, bun-ions, hammertoes, painful toenails and heel pain are some of the more common complaints which may result from weakening of the normal foot structures. Additionally, the fat pad on the bottom of the foot and heel can wear thin, resulting in foot pain and pressure sores. Some of these problems can be treated conservatively while others may require a more involved treatment plan. If you suffer from one of these foot problems, contact the Connecticut Foot Care Center nearest you for an appointment. One of our foot specialists can diagnose your problem and suggest a treatment plan which best suits your condition and life-style.

Simple Solutions to Boost Your energy - Increasing daily energy levels is a goal for many men and women. Many adults are increasingly looking to energy drinks or highly caffeinated beverages like coffee to get the job done, while others are fearful that such beverages, though effective at improving energy levels, could have an adverse effect on their overall health. For those who feel energy drinks or another cup of coffee is not the ideal solution to increasing their energy levels, consider the following tips.

* Exercise. While it might seem counterintuitive to exercise if you’re feeling fatigued, that fatigue might very well be a result of lack of exercise. Daily exercise helps increase energy levels and improve mood. Something as simple as taking a walk during a lunch break can vastly improve energy levels.

* Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can make people feel lethargic. Drinking the recommended daily amount of water can boost energy levels, especially after a workout when the body often craves fluids.

* Carefully monitor sugar intake. Sweet foods with lots of sugar will provide an initial energy boost. However, that boost is fleeting, and blood sugar levels will rapidly drop after it. Instead of sugary snacks, select whole grain foods, which slowly and steadily increase the body’s energy levels.

* Don’t skip meals. Exhausted or fatigued men and women are often busy at work, which commonly results in missed meals. Skipping meals, according to studies published in the journal Nutritional Health revealed, leads to greater feelings of fatigue by day’s end. Make eating all your meals a priority, and energy levels are likely to improve.

COMMON MYTH: Stroke is a force of nature that randomly hits without warning. There’s nothing you can do to prevent it. A lifetime’s worth of bad habits can contribute to the risk of stroke (brain attack) You can reduce your risk of stroke by controlling high blood pressure, not smoking cigarettes, having regular medical check-ups and learning the warning signs of stroke so that you can get prompt medical attention should a brain attack occur. Immediate medical atten-tion can often reduce the chance that a stroke is fatal or disabling.

In the 1930s people bought cashews, peanuts and pis-tachios from vending machines. Competition was hot among the nut purveyors, and those selling pistachios played a little shell game, dying their product a bright red to make it stand out. First they caught your eye, and then they messed up your hands as the dye transferred from the nuts to your fingers. The custom has held.

In truth, pistachios needed some dressing up because, compared to other kinds of nuts, they were quite ugly.

the nut pIckers harvested pistachios from trees by knocking them off with poles. Then the nuts were tossed into burlap bags and later, their outside hull was ground off. By then they looked ready for the nut hospital. Say, maybe that red is really blood.

At many big box appliance stores, once the sale is made, the customer is on their own as far as mainte-nance and repair.

That’s where Gal-leria Appliances, tucked amongst the counter-tops, tiles and cabinets at the Galleria Design Center in Middletown, picks up the slack.

An independently-owned business within the design center, Gal-leria Appliances show-

cases and sells anything from refrigerators to televisions to wine coolers.

Owner Tim Rowe’s factory-authorized ser-vice staff will pick up where other businesses left off, servicing any appliance of any brand.

“We helped a woman who bought an appliance at Lowe’s, but they don’t service. So they sold them the appliance and then they walk away from

it,” Rowe said. “Not only do we sell good appliances, but we are factory-authorized for services and we stand by what we sell. Our motto is ‘Old time val-ues, new technology.’”

If an appliance is too old or too expensive to repair, Galleria offers a selection of Frigidaire, Electroluxe, Whirplool, Kitchen Aid, Bosch and more. And, because the design center is a con-glomerate of numer-

ous home design busi-nesses, the appliances are showcased within cabinets and near coun-tertop samples and oth-er materials for design purposes.

“A lot of people who are coming in here, they’re either building a house or remodeling,” Rowe said. “Some peo-ple are building a house and they haven’t even started yet so they’re coming in for ideas.”

The one-stop shop allows the differ-ent business owners to work together for their customers’ conve-nience.

“At the cabinet company, someone will come over and get spec’s on appliances from me,” Rowe said. “The nice part about being in the building is everybody’s helping each other.

Rowe is one of the few businesses within the design center that doesn’t have another location.

One of the benefits

of the design center is having a design team to help piece together a project. This is not only helpful for inspira-tion, but for navi-gating around the building.

“People come in an they’re shocked by everything that’s in here,” Rowe said. “Overwhelmed, in a way.”

Galleria Ap-pliances is located within the Galleria Design Center, 234 Middle St., Middle-town. The business can be reached at 860-788-2013 and the service number is 203-788-2293.

Max is a gorgeous, soulful boy! He was on the streets but there was no room for him at any shelter so Max was neutered and put back out-side, thus his notched ear. But Max would not give up. He wanted more and built a bond with a nice woman that care for him and took him until he could find a permanent home. Max is grateful, affectionate and loving. A wonderful boy!

SHOULD I DEED MY HOUSE TO THE KIDS?We are asked this question often. It’s a significant concern when preserving our lifestyles and assets are both very much on all of our minds. And the simple answer is: maybe. When someone transfers their home (or anything else for that matter), there are legal consequences involving ownership rights and responsibilities, insurance, income taxes, gift taxes and possible future Medicaid (Title 19) eligibility. And then what happens if someone then gets sick, undergoes a major life change or passes away?

We’re your hometown lawyers. Let our family protect yours.

Distracted Driving a Big Danger - Today’s drivers face more distractions than ever before. Technological gadgets from smart phones to MP3 players give drivers new reasons to look away from the road.

Distracted driving is any activity a person engages in that can distract him or her from the primary task of driving. There are three main types of distraction:

1. Visual:Taking eyes off the road.2. Cognitive: Not thinking about what you’re doing.3. Manual: Taking hands off the wheel.

Distracted driving may include talking on a cell phone, eating food in the car, thumbing through the maps on a GPS device, or even changing the radio station. But the type of distracted driving that has become an epidemic, particularly among younger drivers, is texting while driving.

When driving, the safest bet is to refrain from any activity that takes one’s eyes, hands or mind away from the road. If answering a cell phone or working with another device is necessary, drivers should pull over to the side of the road and take care of what they need to do.

Panthers Football Holds Off Morganby Mark DiPaola

It was first down, ball on the 20, with 4:06 left in the fourth quarter.

Cromwell was up by just one touch-down at 16-10. The Panther defensive unit, which had controlled its Pierson Park turf all afternoon, seemed to finally have its back against the ropes during what might possi-bly be the most crucial moment of the game.

On the other end, the Morgan Huskies who, after being denied all game long, were suddenly one play, one mistake, away from taking the lead.

In the stands, Cromwell supporters held

their breath. Just minutes ago their Pan-thers had a commanding 16-3 lead, one that looked safe given the offensive difficulties experienced by both sides.

“I knew that this was going to be the biggest defensive line we were going to see, and the linebackers were very good as well, so our offensive line wasn’t getting the ground that they normally get, and we were having a little bit of difficulty picking up their blitzes, so back to the drawing board. We just have to continue to get better,” Pan-thers Head Coach Chris Eckert said after the game.

But in football, a lot can happen in a short amount of time. At the 10:28 mark, Husky quarterback Mark Zum-pano took the snap at the 37-yard line. It only took a quick look to see what had been available all day--nothing--so he took it himself, for a 63-yard touchdown run.

Next Morgan possession, Zum-pano found himself at the 48 and in a similar situation--scrambling. He took it for an 8-yard gain. He took the snap again, this time he had someone open--wide receiver Marc Simmons, who made a Calvin Johnson-like catch in midair to get his team into the red zone.

Luckily, Cromwell already had a chance to practice this type of scenario about three minutes prior. The Panther defense stonewalled the Huskies in the red zone following a Morgan fumble recovery--running back Derrick Vil-lard had the ball knocked out as he was motoring in for a first down--and a pass interference penalty that moved the ball to the 21-yard line.

It was second and 10. Zumpano took the snap and was almost imme-diately brought down for a loss of two

on the play. Next play he spotted Sim-mons open again and tried to sneak a

screen pass over to him. The receiver leaped

for it, but couldn’t come up with it this time--fourth down.

The Huskies snapped the ball, and Pan-thers linebacker Tommy Belger exploded through the offensive line to Zumpano, who back pedalled, still frantically looking for an open man. Nothing doing--he was sacked and Cromwell was back in control.

“This team tends to tighten up a little bit when we’re down in the red zone,” Eck-ert said. “So just continue to relax, keep playing the good defense that we are and get yourself off the field. Win the next down.”

That seemed to be the story through-out the game--defense coming up huge to make up for offensive struggles that were uncharacteristic of a team that defeated East Hampton/Vinal RVT 51-14 and Lewis Mills 47-14.

“It turned into us not being able to move the ball and, in circumstances like that, de-fense has got to win the game for us,” Eckert said. “These guys knew the sombrero was going to be on their head and they really needed to step up, especially in the second half, and I think they did a really good job.”

Following an Alex Ramirez pick, the first of two for the Panthers quarterback, outside linebacker Brandon Walker got Cromwell on the board when he took a fum-ble recovery in for a touchdown at the 9:44 mark of the first quarter.

Panthers receiver Matt O’Keefe added a 10-yard touchdown catch, diving onto his stomach to field a Ramirez pass at 2:23 of the second quarter. The Panthers faced a tough defense against Morgan.

Cromwell was able to maintain their lead over Morgan despite the opponent closing in at Pierson Park Saturday.

Wethersfield Swimming Going for a State Titleby Katelyn Kelleher

The Wethersfield High School girls swimming and diving team is tired.

In what coach Lee Schwartz-man called “the hell weeks,” he purposely moves the meet sched-ule around in the middle of Oc-tober each year to get some hard training in.

“They’re very tired; their times the last couple meets have shown it,” he said. “After this week they’ll start a taper--they get to rest.”

The team, the best team Wethersfield has had in 20 years, Schwartzman said, is putting in the laps in the pool in hopes of tak-ing the Class M state title this year.

“Right now, by my predic-tions looking at what other teams have across the state in our class, we could finish anywhere from first to fourth,” he said. “First is definitely the goal and if we only get second we’ll probably all be disappointed.”

Branford is the school to beat this year, Schwartzman said, and they beat the Eagles at an invita-tional earlier in the season. “There were definitely some places we can fill some holes,” he said.

The high expectations are backed with a strong team with a

good work ethic, with seniors that have taken leadership and encour-aged the rest of the team. Of the 32 girls on the team, 11 are seniors, most of whom are state qualifiers, Schwartzman said, adding about 90 percent of his team ares state-qualifying swimmers.

Though only the fastest four state-qualifiers from each team are allowed to compete in any given event, Wethersfield already has had five qualify for the 100-meter breaststroke.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if at our CCC East meet in that same event two more qualify,” Schwartzman said. “We could le-gitimately have seven girls qualify for four slots.”

In such a case, Schwartzman said he hopes the swimmers who cannot compete qualify in another event, thus strengthening the team as a whole at states.

The team also hopes to take two of the three relays at the state championship meet--the 200- and 400-meter freestyles. “We have a legitimate shot at winning two of the three relays,” he said. “We were third in both of them last year. The top two get all-state.”

Individually, Schwartzman has high hopes for Kristi Tougas, one of three senior captains on the team, at the state meet in the

100-meter butterfly and 200-meter freestyle.

“She’s worked for every bit of speed that she has,” Schwartzman said. “She is just like an Energizer Bunny.”

After the state meet, Schwartz-man said the team is likely to have swimmers qualifying for the state open, in which the fastest 24 swim-mers from each event throughout all the classes compete. He is also

looking ahead to future seasons.“I’m always looking two

years down the road,” he said. “I want to always be up there. I re-fuse to drop.”

Wethersfield swimmers prepare to dive in for a 100-meter freestyle heat in a meet against Rocky Hill Friday, Oct. 19.

As Deputy Mayor, John cut costs and contained taxes for two consecutive terms. His opponent chaired a PAC for Wethersfield Democrats, funded by the very unions with whom they’d negotiated. Morin also receives income from state employee union CEIU, the CT affiliate of SEIU, whose contracts are negotiated by the very legislature to which he belongs. John will hold the line. He’ll work to make Connecticut taxpayer and business friendly. He’ll support job creation through reduced taxes; reduced government bureaucracy and less over-regulation.

Yankee Institute for Public Policy1 and Americans for Prosperity2 — two different, non-partisan government policy analysis groups, each give Morin a grade of “Zero” on taxpayer-friendly legislation.
