WETHERSFIELD POST2 | Friday, October 12, 2012

By ERICA SCHMITTSTAFF WRITER

A program that collectivelybrought Wethersfield residents over$80,500 in home energy savings inone year is sticking around and hop-ing to expand its outreach.The Neighbor to Neighbor

Energy Challenge was startedin 2011 through a $4.17 milliongrant from the U.S. Department ofEnergy as part of its BetterBuildingsinitiative.Sincethen,14townsinConnecticut

— including Wethersfield — haveurged their residents to participate inreducing the state’s energy consump-tion by 20 percent by 2013.The opportunities the coalition

provides decrease energy consump-tion and provide more comfortablehomes, lower utility bills, lower CO2emissions, decrease dependenceon foreign oil, increase support forthe local economy, and foster anunderstanding of the importance ofrenewable energy.Since the program infiltrated town

two years ago,757 residents have par-ticipated in some capacity.For a smallprice, 163 of them have had ener-gy assessments performed in theirhomes, when a consultant came inand sealed up air leaks andmade rec-ommendations for energy-efficientmeasures.This saves families $300 to$400 on heat and electricity bills peryear.Another option was a free light-ing program that reached 111 people,who received high-efficiency lightbulbs to replace old bulbs that weredraining electricity in their homes.But only 15 residents opted to makeapplianceupgrades—replacing insu-lation, heating and cooling systems,or switching to solar power.Because Neighbor to Neighbor

just decided to continue its outreachin Wethersfield for one more year,everyone still has the chance to takeadvantage of some serious moneysaving options for these upgrades.In fact,Mayor Donna Hemmann

has already jumped onboard.Solar company C-Tech recently

made a site visit to her home toevaluate the family’s options for solarpower installation, and determinedthe home was a good candidate.“We encourage people to take

the next step,” explained Chamae

Munroe,whorepresentsWethersfieldin the Neighbor to Neighbor pro-gram. “There are really great rebatesright now,” she added, citing aone-third price cut on insulationreplacement as just one example.And the reason why the program

is working for Wethersfield? It has acommunityoutreach-basedapproach.People are much more likely to con-sider a great idea that they hear froma neighbor than one on a piece of“junk”mail from CL&P advertisingenergy efficiency options.“We were initially only supposed

to have outreach for two years butthey were able to reallocate fundsand extend it for another year, and inthis last yearwe’re focusing on gettingmore people involved in the programas volunteers,” Munroe explained ofthe fate of Neighbor-to-Neighbor.“The idea is to have the towns take

it over and continue the work,” sheadded. “It’s the snowball effect; onceyou get a critical mass it will carryitself along.”Residents can help by joining

the Wethersfield Green SummitCommittee and educating theirfriends and neighbors on how to

reduce energy waste in their homes,while assisting in the planning ofenergy events in town.Since 2011, Wethersfield has

accrued points through its participa-tion, which are leading up to someexciting community rewards. Thetown will have the opportunity tochoose from possibilities like com-munity gardens, LED street lights,solar-powered trash compactors intown buildings, even tree plantingparties.Although Neighbor-to-Neighbor

departs Wethersfield at the end of2013,thehope is that residentswill beenergy-savvy enough by then to con-tinue living smarter and “greener.”The easiest way to sign up for the

program is to call the Neighbor toNeighbor office at (860) 372-4407 orvisit theirwebsite:www.ctenergychal-lenge.com/hes. It is located at 860BSilas Deane Hwy. in Wethersfield.Community groups who would liketo get involved, contact Erin O’Neillat (860) 372-4405.

Loyal patrons are so enthusias-tic about the farm-fresh goodies,they would probably grin and bearthe chilly weather and continuetheir weekly visit to the outdoorWethersfield Farmers Market atthe Solomon Welles House. Butvendors have moved indoors for theremainder of the market season.Last Thursday was the first day

this year that the market set upinside theTrinityEpiscopalChurchon Main Street and also the firstrainy market.“It’s funny, we had beauti-

ful weather the whole season andthe one day it rains, we’re insideanyway,” laughed Market MasterStephanie Jarm,who picked up twopairs of fuzzy mittens at Thursday’smarket.Many of the more than 25 sum-

mer vendors — who sell gourmet,locally-grown cheeses, baked good,jellies, relishes,vegetables and fruits,flowers, handmade crafts and natu-ral cosmetics — have moved to themarket’s winter home.But there are also a few new cold-

weather friends offering their treats,like Carol’s Artisan Truffles, whichwould melt in the hot summersun. Then there’s Vivian McGarryfromCold Goats Farm inHaddamNeck, who can be found inside thechurch hall weaving her intricatewoolen hats, mittens, and scarves.Although he joined the market

mid-summer, visitors may not havehad the chance to meet Norfolkresident David Davis, a friendlycharacter who won’t let you buyone of his unique dips, dressings orsauces without taste-testing it first.Originally from England, Davis’

recipes include tart lemon butter,rich “Kentucky Caramel” infusedwith bourbon, “Amazing HotSauce”which boast dates as a secretingredient and his famous pickles.One visitor bought a jar of these

distinctive pickles one day this sum-mer and after making her roundsthat afternoon, returned it to Davis— completely empty.His offerings will be available at

the indoor market, alongside otherpopular items.“On our first day, the crowd’s

been pretty big,” said Jarm, who,along with fellow Market MasterDoug Sacks, was elated to have themost successful market year so far.“It has been amazing,”she added.

“I don’t know how we’re going to

top it next year but we’ll find away.”While plans for the 2013 market

are still in the works, there will defi-nitely be more special events likethe recent Farm-to-Table Dinnerthat residents are still gushingabout.“I think next year’s market will

be bigger, with more entertainmentandmore events for sure,”said Jarm,who is also hoping people will joinher at another exciting event this

fall in nearby Hartford.Starting this Sunday, Oct. 14,

and running every Sunday untilNov.18,Pratt Street will shut downfrom noon to 6 p.m. for local food,art and music, in open street fairfashion.“We’ve jumped through hoops

to pull this together in such a smalltime-frame; it’s going to be incredi-ble,”saysJarm.Formoreinformation,visit HartfordHodgePodge.com.The Wethersfield Farmers

Market has moved indoors until its2012 season wraps up theThursdaybeforeChristmas.It’s held from3 to6 p.m. inside the Trinity EpiscopalChurch, 300 Main St.

WETHERSFIELD POST4 | Friday, October 12, 2012

In the 1800s, straw was oftenstrewn onto the lid of a freshlylowered coffin before the taskof shoveling began because, asNathaniel Hawthorne noted sosuccinctly, “the clods on the coffinlid have an ugly sound.”This and many other histori-

cal details from the 19th centurywill be examined as the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum, inWethersfield, offers an up-closeand creepy examination of allthings funereal during its annualWitches and Tombstones Tours.Due to popular demand, the

dates of the tours have beenexpanded to include two week-ends, Oct. 20 and 21 and Oct. 27and 28.Saturday tours leave from the

Webb-Deane-Stevens Museumat 10 and 11:30 a.m. and at 1 and2:30 p.m. Sunday tours leave theMuseum at 1 and 2:30 p.m.Cost is $10 per person. Tour

space is limited and reservationsare strongly recommended.The 90-minute tours begin

with tales from the notori-ous Wethersfield Witch Trials— which preceded the SalemWitchTrials by 30 years — in theButtolph-Williams House, hometo the characters portrayed in the

Newbery Award-winning book,“The Witch of Blackbird Pond,”by Elizabeth George Speare.In the 1660s a number of

Wethersfield women, and atleast one man, were accused ofwitchcraft during a four-yearinquisition that included severalexecutions.The second stop on the tour

is the Wethersfield AncientBurying Ground, where, amongother grim details, visitors willhear of Connecticut’s first massmurder and learn how grave-stones warned the living of theirown impending peril.Back at the Isaac Stevens

House, visitors will step back intime and view a room somberlyprepared for a wake, including aprepared coffin, shrouded win-dows and mirrors, and tansy androsemary to mask any odors.Guides will explain 19th-centurymourning practices, how illnesseswere treated in the Isaac StevensHouse, and discuss how the livingdealt with fears of being buriedalive.For reservations, call (860)

enjoyed it,” said Superintendent of SchoolsMichael Emmett, who joined the group walk-ing to Hanmer last week.“Youhave a littlemore time to spend than the

normal process of gettingin the car and droppingthe kids off then head-ing to work,” he added.“I think it was warmlyembraced by principalsand staff as well.”The PTOs at all five

elementary schools whoorganized the event hopepeople will continue leav-ing the car at home andleaving the driveway onfoot.“We were talking about

how we should do itmore frequently,” MarthaConneely, Co-Chair of the WethersfieldSchools Parent Council saidTuesday.Conneely walked her 10–year-old daughter

Grace and her brother Eamon, 8, to CharlesWright, along with two other adults and morethan 20 kids. Her kids had fun chatting withtheir friends from the neighborhood, andConneely had the rare chance to catch up withher neighbors.

“We hope this reminds people that walkingis not just for a special occasion,” she said. “It’sobviously great for kids’ health, it’s an easy wayto include exercise in a child’s day, and we havetremendous traffic issues around our schools, so

it alleviates that.”Some parents expressed

safety concerns over let-ting their children walkto school unsupervised —especially in high trafficareas likeWells Road.For Sophia and Jack

Lynch, 6 and 8, theone-mile walk to WebbElementary at the cornerofWells Road andWillowStreet Tuesday was a spe-cial treat, as their parentsdon’t want them to navi-gate the busy main roadon foot.

“At one point there’s no sidewalk, so that’s anissue,”said theirmom,Staci Lynch,whowalkedto the school Tuesday afternoon with her hus-band Bob to join the kids on their walk home.Tuesday was double-duty — morning and

afternoon walking, for the Lynch family.Walk to School Day helped identify the

particular neighborhoods where it might benecessary to implement a crossing guard, but

also allowed kids to practice safe pedestrian andbiking skills and learn how to use crosswalks.“This was a good opportunity for our com-

munity tosaywhere it’s easyormorechallengingto walk and what can we do to improve thoseareas,”Conneely explained.For many families, the school bus is not an

option— it’s either walking or parent drop-off.This applies to anyone who lives less than one

mile from their child’s school. But walkingbuilds community, and asWethersfield familieswere reminded recently,has an all-around posi-tive impact that a car can never emulate.For more information on Walk to School

WETHERSFIELD POST6 | Friday, October 12, 2012

By KEVIN D. ROBERTSSTAFF WRITER

The Eagles may have been outrunned and outgunned in a 41-7 loss toMiddletown Friday night at Joseph E.Cottone Field, but they never gave up.Senior running back Ivan Mangual typified that approach. Wethersfield

was trailing Middletown 34-0, but had just stopped the Blue Dragons on afourth down play on the opening series of the third quarter.On a 2nd and 10from theMiddletown 33 on the firstWethersfield possession,Langual caughta pass from senior quarterback ZackDeCaro and fought his way to a 10-yardgain and a first down.Langual came off the field and was screaming, trying to fire his teammates

up.The scoremay have been 34-0,andWethersfield did end up losing the ballon downs later on the possession,but the heart was still there.“I think the kids were still motivated in the second half,”Eagles coach John

Campanello said after the game.It wasn’t effort that hurtWethersfield, it wasmistakes, toomany of them.A

couple of fumbled snaps on first down pass plays put the Eagles in too big ahole against the fast Blue Dragon defense.On a nice 14-yard pass play in thesecond quarter,Wethersfield fumbled the ball away, then a personal foul wascalled on anEagle coach for coming out onto the field to protest the ruling bythe officials, which came after some discussion.That gave the Blue Dragonsthe ball at the Eagle 28, and they didn’t waste time, taking just five plays toscore for a 27-0 lead.Throws thatwere up for grabswere caught byMiddletown receivers instead

of Wethersfield defenders.The Eagles did have three interceptions, but BlueDragon quarterback Dario Highsmith still made a couple big plays that hurt.Then there were penalties at inopportune times that set the Eagles back.In a game against a high-powered opponent,Wethersfield couldn’t afford

to make mistakes.“Coming into this game, we had to be perfect to stand a chance,”

Campanello said.“Wemade somemistakes that hurt us.”The Eagles, however, didn’t give up.Trailing 41-0 late in the fourth quar-

ter,Wethersfield mounted one last drive. Runs of 8, 3 and 9 yards by seniorrunning back Devon Henry moved the ball from the Eagle 36 to the BlueDragon 44.After a four-yard loss on a 2nd and 1 run,DeCaro found seniorwide receiver Greg Schroeder for seven yards and a first down.On the nextplay,DeCaro hit Schroeder for seven yards,then a 15-yard roughing the passerpenalty was tacked on, which moved the ball to the Middletown 19. Afteran incompletion, DeCaro hit senior tight end Kevin Premto in the flat andPremto ran it in for a 19-yard touchdown with 48.6 seconds to play in thegame. JuniorWhit DeVaux’s extra point made it 41-7.The touchdown may seem insignificant in a game that Middletown con-

trolled from early in the first quarter,but the score was the first given up by theBlue Dragon defense this season.“It was nice to get in there at the end,”Campanello said.Middletown has outscored its four opponents 176-7.Wethersfield tries to

get back on track next Friday at home against BristolCentral (2-2).TheRamsbeat Fermi 42-14 on Friday night at Fermi High School.

Despite, resounding loss,Eagles showed resilience

By KEVIN D. ROBERTSSTAFF WRITER

The Middletown footballteam’s offense has been explosivethis season, to say the least.That continued for the Blue

Dragons on Friday night in a 41-7win over Wethersfield at JosephE. Cottone Field on the cam-pus of Wethersfield High School.Middletown improved to 4-0while Wethersfield fell to 2-2.The Blue Dragon speed was

just to much for the Eagles. IsaiahThompkins got the scoring startedfor Middletown with a bruisingand blazing 31-yard touchdownrun.The extra point was no good,

but the Blue Dragons led 6-0 with7:18 left in the first quarter.Later in the first quarter, quar-

terback Dario Highsmith hookedup with Jha’kurWest for a 42-yardreception, setting up a three-yardscoring run by Thompkins and a13-0 lead.

Early in the second quarter,West again showed off his game-breaking speedwith an electrifying77-yard punt return and a touch-down for a 20-0 lead with 11:30left until halftime.Big plays haunted Wethersfield

throughout the first half.“They do a good job,” Eagles

coach John Campanello said.“They have some very good skillplayers, and they came up withsome very big plays.”The Blue Dragons made it

27-0 on a five-yard scoring run byThompkins, his third of the half.Late in the first half, Highsmithconnected with speedster O’BrianSinclair for a 65-yard touchdownon 2nd and 25 for a 34-0 lead.Wethersfield did intercept threeof Highsmith’s passes, but thesophomore did hit big plays.Wethersfield’s lone score

came late in the fourth quarterwhen quarterback Zack DeCarohit Kevin Premto for a 19-yardtouchdown.

Whit DeVaux added the extrapoint, which made the score 41-7Middletown with 48.6 secondsto play.DeCaro finished 18-of-41 for

166 yards, one touchdown andtwo interceptions.Premto led the way with five

catches for 59 yards and the score.Greg Schroeder added 48 yardson six receptions.Devon Henry was the lead-

ing rusher for the Eagles, buthe gained just 36 yards on ninecarries.Middletown’s fast defense made

it hard for Wethersfield to gener-ate offense throughout the game.Campanello was happy that

his team competed until the finalwhistle, but lamented the mis-takes made.“We have a lot of good kids

on the team, but we need to bemore consistent on offense anddefense,”Campanello said.Wethersfield hosts Bristol

Central next Friday at 7 p.m.

An area business owner is stepping uponce again to show his support for veterans.

Francis “Rip”Callahan has owned Bowl-O-Rama,2143 BerlinTurnpike,Newington,for over 53 years and many area veterans fre-quent his lanes for a good time at an evenbetter price.That’s why Callahan offered to host a

bowl-a-thon fundraiser for the fourth yearin a row for VETS LINK, a Hamden-basednonprofit that provides hands-on financialmentoring, job entrepreneurship and hous-ing opportunities for veterans across thestate.It’s not easy to convince a bowling alley

to host such an event these days, since mostare chains owned by corporations — notfamily-owned like Bowl-O-Rama, whichCallahan’s parents opened on the BerlinTurnpike in 1959.“Here you’re dealing with a local family,

we’re very involved in town and it’s a lot eas-ier to deal with us than a corporate person inVirginia who doesn’t care if the event goeswell at all,” explained Callahan, who servesa weekly league of about 15 to 20 bowlersliving at the Rocky Hill Veterans Home,along with 10 to 15 from the NewingtonVA Hospital.“It gets them out and enjoying life a

little bit,” says Callahan, who gives them allreduced rates, because that’s just the kind ofguy he is.“I’m very happy to help

them out, especially withall that’s going on in theworld today. Anything wecan do.”Callahan knows every-

body, and his tone getsbittersweet when recall-ing the story of one of theRocky Hill vets.“I just lost him as a cus-

tomer,”he begins. “He camedownwith cancer and wantsto fulfill his life dream to goacross country. He left inAugust.”But he and Peter J. Curtis, founder and

president of VETS-LINK, hope more vetscome in and introduce themselves at thefundraiser this November, which will alsobe an opportunity for them to learn aboutthe direct assistance the organization canprovide.“I can direct them — men, women and

their children — to the right place,” saidCurtis, who is not only a decorated VietnamVeteran, but also has an accomplished ten-ure in financial services.“By Veterans, for Veterans” is the VETS

LINK motto, as its outreach brings veteranstogether with other veterans that can sharetheir expertise in financial and employmentmatters, but also connects individuals withlawyers, financial advisors and professional

expertise.V E T S L I N K

AdministrativeCoordinatorTerry Funke has workedhard to organize this year’sBowl-a-Thon, as her fatherwas aWorldWar II veteranand the cause has a lot ofpersonal meaning to her.Interestingly enough, herdaughter is also married toCallahan’s son, which washow the first bowl-a-thoncame about four years ago.All competitors will vie

for prizes and every bowlerwill receive a freeVETSLINKT-shirt.Therewill also be a DJ and a raffle. Businesses areencouraged to sponsor the event, by callingTerry Funke at (860) 508-4199. Donationsare also greatly appreciated and can besent to VetsLink, Attn: Peter Curtis, 484Hartford Turnpike, Hamden, CT 06514 orvisit vetslinkconnecticut.com to use “PayPal”or “GofundMe.”

Officials welcomed the U.S.Department of Veteran Affairsto Newington Wednesday to cel-ebrate the turning of a new leaf forlow-income and homeless veteransaround the state.Both state legislators and econom-

ic development officials attendedthe groundbreaking ceremony forVictory Gardens, a 74-unit sup-portive housing complex now inconstruction on the grounds of theVAHospital off ofWillard Avenue.One of the first five housing proj-

ects in the nation to be developedunder the VA Enhanced Use Leaseinitiative, the project reclaims under-utilized VA land and buildings foraffordable housing aimed at combat-ing veteran homelessness.Newington Mayor Steve Woods,

joined by a handful of town council-ors, was among the first to speak atWednesday afternoon’s ceremony.“Welcome toNewington,”he said,

addressing the crowd of AmericanLegion members and Veterans of

Foreign Wars, town residents, andrepresentatives fromtheConnecticutHousing FinanceAuthority,VA,andWomen’s Institute for Housing andEconomic Development, which theVA partnered with to develop theproject.“We look forward to a wonder-

ful long-term relationship with thiscommunity,”Woods added.Victory Gardens will be com-

prised of seven townhouses toaccommodate 40 one-bedroom, 22two-bedroom and 12 three-bed-room apartments with priority givento low-income and veteran families.Special considerationwill be given tothose that are homeless or at risk forhomelessness.“We are weary of war and we

are challenged by fiscal obscurity,”Senator Richard Blumenthal said atWednesday’s ceremony, “but this isthe very least we can do for peoplewho have given themselves,”he con-tinued. “We owe them so much andthis project is the beginning of keep-ing faith with them.”WhentheVeteransAdministration

first brought their plan to town,

concerns from Newington residentsand town officials were many —based in how the needs of the newresidents would affect the town at-large. Questions were raised abouthowmany childrenwould be attend-ing Newington schools, the impacton Willard Avenue traffic, and howsupport services would be providedto the individuals that move in.But Laurie Harkness, director

of recovery services with the VAHealth care System, has worked toalleviate these fears.Harkness estimates no more than

25 percent of the housing to be com-prised of families with children.Andbecause the complex will be built onNewington’s VA Hospital campus,that means the new residents willbe provided with all the servicesthe hospital offers. This includesuse of its Chrysalis Center, whichoffers 24/7 mental health servicesthat promote self-sufficiency andindependence.

MERIDEN — RepublicanLinda McMahon and DemocratRep.Chris Murphy talk a lot abouttheir dueling plans to increase jobsas they seek votes in a tight racefor Connecticut’s open U.S. Senateseat.But many of their ideas have

been floated by others during thisyear’s campaign season, and it isdoubtful their entire proposalswould become law after either iselected Connecticut’s new juniorU.S. senator. Like Murphy, Rep.Shelley Berkley, the DemocraticSenate candidate in Nevada, saysshe’s “fighting to rebuild America’smanufacturing base while end-ing unfair loopholes and taxpayer

giveaways that encourageU.S.com-panies to ship jobs overseas.”And like McMahon, state Sen.

Joe Kyrillos, the Republican Senatecandidate from New Jersey, prom-ises he will work to “cut taxes onjob-creators” and lower the federalcorporate tax rate from 35 to 25percent.Other Democratic Senate can-

didates across the U.S. have joinedMurphy in pitching renewableenergy, education and job training,and reinvesting in infrastructure asways to add jobs.Meanwhile, other Republican

Senate candidates back McMahonin pushing to extend the PresidentGeorge W. Bush-era tax cuts forwealthier individuals, saying nowis not the time to raise taxes onanyone.
