Wethersfield Post 11-23-2012

It’s the busiest time of the year for everyone, but especially the town’s Department of Youth and Social Services, which helps resi-dents having financial troubles make the best of their holiday season.

It all started this Saturday with two separate food collections and distributions happening across town. At the Wethersfield Food Bank, families gathered to receive the makings of their Thanksgiving

dinners: turkey and all the trim-mings.

“The need is about the same this year, we gave out about 100 thanksgiving meals Saturday and

Astrology Society holding New Age Fair at Keeney CenterLegend and deep history reign

over the quaint Old Wethersfield, so it makes perfect sense that a mysterious organization calls the village home for its monthly meetings and special events.

A supernatural aura swirled around the walls inside the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center this past weekend, with the Connecticut Astrological Society taking over the top floor for one of its quarterly fairs.

New visitors to a “New Age Fair” might expect to walk through a long beaded curtain and be met by the scent of incense burning. This isn’t far from the true expe-rience, but CAS members don’t want people to think their work is some sort of creepy voodoo.

“Our approach in holding these fairs is to raise money for the Astrological Society but also to enlighten the public,” explained

James Santa-Mo, who has been a society member for over 30 years.

“The goal of the organization is to make the public aware of what astrology can and cannot do,” he added. “I’m interested in self-understanding and psycholo-

gy, but astrologers in general have varied backgrounds. Basically, you try to capture where the planets are and interpret it accordingly.”

While people often trust their own horoscope to identify what the stars have in store for their day, week or year, the elements of astrology can also be applied to the future of a business, town, even a nation. Pretty much any-thing with a birthday.

“During this past election we had a speaker talk,” Santa-Mo said. “We looked at both Obama and Romney’s horoscopes and made a judgment there … peo-ple do very serious work with it and try to determine outcomes of where things are going.”

Santa-Mo was one of a handful of teachers at the fair, hosting a class for beginners. Other society representatives gave lectures about pertinent topics, everything from understanding your aura to tarot card reading. About 200 people

made their way through the event Sunday. They had the opportunity to peruse through some unique gift items offered by a variety of vendors, including jewelry, books and artwork.

They could also have a reading performed by a Reiki Master, an astrologer, psychic or even a tarot reader.

“It’s not like newspaper astrolo-gy,” Santa-Mo said. “It’s knowing your exact birthplace and time you were born, an analogy of geometry.”

So who are the right candidates

for these types of readings?“Anyone,” says Santa-Mo. “In

the case of personal fulfillment, it’s looking for answers through an unusual device or medium.”

The Astrological Society of Connecticut holds its speaker meetings on the third Thursday of every month at 7 p.m., in the Keeney Center, 200 Main St., Wethersfield.

WHAT: 23rd Annual Salute to New BusinessWHEN: Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 5:30 p.m.WHERE: Wethersfield Country Club, 76 Country Club RoadHOW: Pick up a registration form at Town Hall, 505 Silas Deane Hwy., or online at wethersfieldchamber.com.

The town’s Redevelopment Agency met this week for the first time in at least six months. Their dis-cussion revisited the blighted, vacant properties whose improvements residents chose not to fund by refer-endum last year. The town applied for several state grants over the summer, hoping to secure some money to revi-talize these among other properties in Wethersfield.

“We haven’t had a meeting in quite some time so the chairman wanted to get an update on odds and ends and discuss what the future may or may not hold for the Redevelopment Agency,” Town Planner Peter Gillespie explained.

The town applied for a STEAP Grant in September for $250,000 to help demolish the old Weight Watchers building at 1000 Silas Deane Hwy., another STEAP Grant to further the Façade Improvement Program, along with $500,000 for the Main Street Investment Fund.

“Those funds will be used to

implement the Old Wethersfield Historic Master Plan,” Gillespie said. “We’d like to fix up a couple of inter-sections, put in some new sidewalks, make pedestrian improvements and look into adding the historic signage we’ve described in that plan.”


EDIC to host 23rd annual salute to new businessAs holiday shoppers begin buzzing

through stores, it’s the perfect time to recognize what new businesses have made their way into Wethersfield since this time last year.

Two weeks before Christmas, the town’s Economic Development and Improvement Commission is host-ing its 23rd Annual Salute to New

Business.Invitations are in the mail for all

local business owners and Wethersfield Chamber of Commerce members, who will gather to not only pat each other on the back but also say hello to some new faces.

“We are recognizing all new busi-nesses that have come to town in the past year as well as a number of businesses hitting their 30-year mark,”

Assistant Town Planner Denise Bradley said Tuesday.

Longevity awards have been issued for a couple of years now to businesses that have been in town at least 30 years, each year recognizing those founded within a different timeframe. The 2012 recipients are any that opened between 1983 and 1984, to include Almar Motel, Survivors of Homicide, Village Pizza, Standish Associates, and

nine others.New Business Awards will go to 14

locations, 10 of which are on the Silas Deane Highway, like Panera Bread, Tilted Kilt, Prove it Golf, Hartford Hospital Sleep Disorder Center, and Wethersfield Monument.

Six Special Recognition Awards will also be given out to those who have made façade improvements over the course of the year.

we’re doing a few more this week,” Nancy Stillwell, Social and Youth Services Director said Monday.

Food donations came from all over the community, with busi-nesses and civic organizations offering monetary contributions as well. Wethersfield High School’s Marketing Club even organized a canned goods collection in class-rooms for the first two weeks of November to join in the efforts.

Happening simultaneously on the other side of town was a drive-through donation cen-ter, hosted by the Wethersfield Volunteer Ambulance Association

on Prospect Street.The focus there was on a dif-

ferent need, Foodshare’s Annual “Turkey and Thirty” cam-paign. People were asked to give both a turkey and $30 to provide struggling families with not only a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but also healthy, nutritious meals the rest of the year.

Foodshare’s outreach extends to food banks across Hartford and Tolland counties, so Wethersfield residents are among those on the receiving end.

“This was the fifth year we’ve

provided support,” WVAA Chief of Service Phil Lombardo said Monday. “The first year started

out with a couple of SUVs full in our lot and we’ve grown it from there.”

They did fall a bit short of their

goals this year, however. “We were looking for 400 tur-

keys and $5,000 in cash but we received 338 turkeys and $4,661. Donations are down across the board so our results were typi-cal, but it’s still kind of a little upsetting,” Lombardo added.

More uplifting was how many volunteers stopped by to help orchestrate the busy collection day at the

WVAA’s facility. The group included students

from Wethersfield High School who are members of the National Honor Society or taking civics classes and are interested in com-munity service. Individual families, religious leaders and young church-goers were also involved.

But it was Lombardo and his wife and Assistant Chief Kim, who organized and hosted the day-long efforts.

“That’s just the kind of peo-ple all our volunteers here are,” Lombardo says. “They like to reach out and do more than just their medical purpose in town,” he

added. “We see people in need and say what else can we do for these folks besides taking care of their medical needs? We want to help some of their plight with hunger, lets see if we can go ahead and put food on their tables.”

Wethersfield Social and Youth Services is now beginning their Holiday Gift Drive, with distribu-tion happening Dec. 13 and 14. Possibilities range from games and books to toys and clothing, for children who may not have other-wise enjoyed a Christmas holiday.

“Right now our greatest need is gifts for children ages 1 to 6 and then for teenagers also,” Stillwell said Monday.

The Wethersfield Food Bank is always in need of cereal, peanut butter, jelly, canned beans, pasta sauce and tuna. Gift or food dona-tions can be dropped off in Town Hall Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call Marita Eppler at (860) 721-2977.

New signs of life emerge for Route 3 in Rocky HillRoute 3 in Rocky Hill has long

been the forsaken middle child, wedged in between the well-traveled Silas Deane Highway and Berlin Turnpike. But several recent crop-pings of business development are breathing some new life into the corridor.

The Newington-based Reno

Properties Group is involved in some way with almost all of these sites, including the most recent deal at 396 Cromwell Ave.

After four years of 75 percent vacancy, Reno Properties purchased it in 2010 for $2.5 million and transformed it into a multi-tenant shopping center, just recently broker-ing the $4.5 million sale.

The center is now fully-leased

to Connecticut Bank and Trust, optometry practice Rocky Hill Eye Associates, health care provider Velocity Urgent Care, and Asian Bistro, a sushi and hibachi restaurant.

Continue traveling south, across Elm Street and come to 632 Cromwell Ave., a 20,000-square-foot shopping plaza Reno also leases and manages. Here lies Arch II Sports Bar & Grill, Enterprise

Rent-A-Car and TD Bank North.Keep heading south and there’s

another mixed-use development comprising seven acres at 950 Cromwell Ave. According to Dan Garofalo, prin-cipal of Reno P r o p e r t i e s , there is another oppor tuni t y there for fur-ther retail development.

All three properties are exactly within one mile of each other and are a part of a grand scheme area com-mercial real estate professionals are executing: to revamp the Route 3 corridor.

“I think it brings some real value to the street with a focus on higher-end tenants,” Garofalo said of the most recent deal Tuesday, adding, “They will start to look at Route 3 as an alternative to the Berlin Turnpike; hopefully, it brings a different van-tage point to some of these types of retailers.”

Reno Properties Managing Broker Michael Gallon compared the area’s upscale real estate market potential to that of Glastonbury.

“Route 3 runs north to south, has competing demograph-ics, household incomes are high … the Rocky Hill market has gradually been increasing in desirability; it’s a good town to live in,” he said.

R e n o P r o p e r t i e s Group is a fu l l - s e r v i c e commerc i a l

brokerage firm located in Newington, and licensed in both Connecticut and Massachusetts. Reno’s team of commercial real estate professionals provides leasing and sales, proper-ty management, construction and investment real estate services.

The Wethersfield football team has put together a solid season in 2012.

The Eagles held a record of 6-3 going into the annual Thanksgiving morning clash against Newington at Newington’s Alumni Field. With a win over their rivals, Wethersfield had a chance to finish off a successful season on an especially high note.

The season didn’t start well for the Eagles. Wethersfield played Central Connecticut Conference powerhouse Windsor on open-ing night and fell 42-0 at home. After shutout wins over E.O. Smith and Fermi in the next two weeks, the Eagles got ham-mered at home by Middletown, 41-7, to drop to 2-2. Since then, Wethersfield has won four of its last five games, including three in a row.

“We’ve been a bit more consistent on both sides of the ball for the most part,” Eagles coach John Campanello said after Monday evening’s practice at Joseph E. Cottone Field.

Wethersfield has gotten a balanced offen-sive effort behind the throwing of senior quarterback Zach DeCaro and the running of senior backs Devon Henry and Ivan Mangual.

“You have to stop a couple different things,” Campanello said. “That makes our offense a little more challenging to stop.”

DeCaro has completed more than 50 percent of his passes (108-of-208) for nearly 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns, according to statistics posted on MaxPreps.com. DeCaro’s main target has been 6-2 senior wide receiver, Kevin Premto, who has nearly 500 receiving yards this season.

Henry and Mangual have gotten nearly the same amount of carries (90 for Henry, 80 for Mangual) and have gained almost the same amount of yards (538 for Henry, 582 for Mangual) this season.

Outside of the 40-14 loss to a good 6-3 Hartford Public team, the Wethersfield defense has been relatively tough in the past five games. That fact isn’t lost on rival quar-terback Jake Hedberg of Newington.

“On film, they seem to be pretty dis-ciplined,” Hedberg said during Monday’s practice in Newington. “They don’t really make a lot of mistakes. They don’t really give up a lot of big plays.”

A big key for Wethersfield’s success has been the attitude of its players.

“The kids are buying in and have been working hard at practice,” Campanello said.

At left, the family of World War II veteran Andrew H. Christensen accepts several awards and a citation in honor of Christensen’s service to his country. At right, Wethersfield resident and Korean War veteran Herbert Hoover Northrop, center, accepts several medals presented by U.S. Rep. John Larson.

U.S. Rep Larson presents medals to local veterans

Congressman John B. Larson awarded medals to Wethersfield resident and Korean War veteran Herbert Hoover Northrop and the family of Newington resident and World War II veteran Andrew H. Christensen Monday morning at the Pitkin Community Center in Wethersfield.

“Corporal Northrop and Staff Sergeant Christensen represent everything that is great about our nation,” Congressman Larson said. “These two men answered the call when our nation needed them the most and sacrificed so much. Like so many of their generation, these men either did not accept or did not realize they were eligible for these medals and it is an honor to be able to make sure they were delivered.”

Corporal Northrop, joined by his daughter Deborah E. Northrop, received the National Defense Service medal, the Korean Service Medal with 1 bronze service star and the United Nations Service medal. A veteran of the Korean War, Corporal Northrop enlisted in the Army on September 29, 1952 and served until September 15, 1954. A member of the 25th “Lightning Division” out of Hawaii,

Corporal Northrop served in Korea right up until the Armistice was signed. Upon leaving the Army, he worked at Aetna Insurance for 39 years.

A World War II veteran that saw action in both the North African and European theaters, Staff Sergeant Christensen passed away in September of 2010. Today his wife, Ruth and son, Bob received the Bronze Star, Army Good Conduct Medal, a Presidential Unit Citation, the American Defense Service medal, the European African Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Ribbon with four bronze service stars with arrowhead, the World War II Victory Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge 1st Award, Honorable Service Lapel Button WWII, and the Sharpshooter Badge.

During Staff Sergeant Christensen’s service in 2010, his family noticed that his grave marker indicated he had received the Bronze Star. Confused that they had never seen the award, the Christensen family reached out to Congressman Larson’s office to investi-gate. The Congressman’s office was able to recover the Bronze star and present it to the Christensen family today.

In 2005, Wethersfield and Newington worked together to clear snow for the Thanksgiving game

With bragging rights decided and the annual Wethersfield-Newington Thanksgiving Day football game in the books, spectators were once again witness to two teams fighting tooth and nail for every yard.

There was a time, however, where both sides of the heated rivalry worked together to get a field ready for a game by clearing snow. That hap-pened in 2005, when Wethersfield’s Joseph E. Cottone Field was the site for the game. The turf field was cov-ered in a couple inches of snow and needed to be cleared before the game could be played.

A group of volunteers — , between 75 and 100 — came down to the playing surface and used shov-els to clear the playing surface. The game, originally slated to start at the usual 10 a.m., began at 11 a.m. instead. Wethersfield (2-8) defeated Newington (7-3) that day 22-13 to deny the Indians a Class L playoff spot, but the day was memorable for more than just that reason.

John Campanello was in his first year as head coach at Wethersfield in 2005 and had fond memories of that Thanksgiving morning, and they were about more than just his team’s victory.

“It was kind of neat,” Campanello said of the cleanup efforts.

The determined efforts of all involved made sure that the game would get played that day.

“It was going to be a mat-ter of when the field got cleared,” Campanello said.

Wethersfield’s victory in the 2005 game was proof that records don’t matter when Wethersfield and Newington get together.

Newington’s Dick Vida, a longtime volunteer in the high school athlet-ics and youth sports communities

in Newington, had good memories of the efforts that so many people gave on that Thanksgiving morning in 2005.

“We got it [cleared] and the kick-off happened,” Vida said. “It’s kind of a tribute to both communities that love their athletics.”

Many people from both sides got involved in the shoveling. Newington’s superintendent Ernie Pelini and sev-eral other administrators went out and shoveled the field. Vida, who is the district’s maintenance services

director, called in people from his department to help out. Vida, however, was quick to give cred-it to both sides, further proof that the rivalry can be put aside when help is needed.

“We had a lot of people who jumped in, or brought shovels

that they had in their cars,” Vida said.Newington had a similar situa-

tion on its field in 2002 when the town was hammered by a snowstorm before Thanksgiving. People from the town used 25-30 snow blowers to help get the field ready, Vida said.

“[The field] started off being as hard as a rock, which is why we could do it,” Vida said.

By the time the second half came around, the grass surface at Alumni Field turned into a mud bowl because of the rising temperatures, but again, Newington and Wethersfield were able to get the game in. Neither team had a good record that year, but both communities love and sup-port their athletics and wanted their Thanksgiving game played.

Campanello, who has been involved with Wethersfield football since the 1980s, recalled games that were played in all kinds of weather, snow included.

It may be a rivalry, but it’s also a chance for both communities to come out and support their teams, no matter the conditions.
