Cruising storiesCAR STORIES COMPILED BY ANGELA PRESTRIDGE

Last � ursday evening in Market Square, spir-its were high. Summer was in the air, along with the smells and sounds of classic car engines. � e 2011 Cruising Newing-ton Car Show sponsored by the Chamber of Com-merce had begun. � ere

was a nostalgic, old-time American feel about the cars, but the people en-joying the night ranged in age from one month old to 86 years old. A love for classic cars knows no age. Some of the participants in the show took time to explain the stories behind their treasured vehicles.

Newington Health Care Center has been recognized as a 2011 recipient of the Bronze — Commitment to Quality National Quality Award for its outstanding performance in the health care profession.

The award, presented by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL), highlights facilities across the nation that have demonstrated their inten-tion to pursue a rigorous quality improvement system.

“This award signifies a great commitment to quality care and an important step in raising the standards of sustainable, per-son-centered care and services,” says Governor Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. “We congratulate Newington Health Care Center on this achievement.”

Implemented by AHCA/NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is centered on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The program assists providers of long term and post-acute care services in achieving their performance excellence goals.

The program has three lev-els: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Facilities begin the qual-ity improvement process at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational

profile with essential perfor-mance elements such as vision and mission statements and an assessment of customers’ expectations. Bronze applicants must demonstrate their ability to implement a performance improvement system.

A team of trained Examiners reviews each Bronze application to determine if the facility has met the demands of the criteria. As a recipient of the Bronze — Commitment to Quality award, Newington Health Care Center may now move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the criteria required for the Silver — Achievement in Quality award.

“The recipients of the qual-ity awards exemplify the energy and dedication required to advance quality care to the next level,” says Chick Stepahin, Chair, AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board of Overseers. “Improving quality care is an evolutionary cycle, and these facilities are the fore-runners of the movement.”

The awards are sponsored by AHCA/NCAL Associate Business Member My InnerView, a Web-based applied research and quality-manage-ment company that supports leaders across the entire assist-ed living, senior housing and skilled nursing profession with tools to measure, benchmark and improve performance.

Newington Health Care Center receives award

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will develop housing oppor-tunities for homeless and at-risk veterans at 34 VA locations across the country. Newington’s Willard Ave. campus is on the list of affected locations.

“This initiative will significant-ly support our efforts to eliminate veteran homelessness and improve quality of life for veterans,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “We have a moral obligation to ensure that veterans and their families have access to affordable housing and medical services that will help them get back on their feet.

A recent strategic study, the Building Utilization Review and Repurposing (BURR) initiative, identified unused and underused buildings at existing VA property

with the potential to develop new housing opportunities for home-less or at-risk veterans and their families through public-private partnerships and VA’s enhanced-use lease (EUL) program. Under the EUL program, VA retains ownership of the land and can determine and control its reuse.

Additional opportunities iden-tified through BURR will include housing for returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families, assisted living for elderly veterans and continuum of living residential communitieis.

The project will support VA’s goal of ending veteran homeless-ness by providing safe, affordable, cost effective, and sustainable

housing for veterans on a prior-ity basis. To expedite the project, contractors were asked to develop multiple sites in a region. VA held a one-day national Industry Forum in Chicago for interested organizations June 13.

Supportive housing projects are planned for homeless veterans and their families at 23 VA sites.

Under the enhanced-use lease agreements, veterans will receive senior and non-senior indepen-dent living and assisted living at eleven sites: Newington; Augusta, Ga.; Marion, Ill.; Topeka, Kansas; Togus, Maine; Grand Island, Neb.; Big Springs and Kerrville, Texas; Martinsburg, W.Va. and Cheyenne, Wyo.

State Rep. Sandy Nafis (D-Newington) announced that a bill she sponsored making it simpler for people with perma-nent disabilities passed the state legislature this week.

“Citizens should not lose their ability to vote just because of a disability,” said Nafis. “This bill ensures that everyone will have an opportunity to exercise their constitutional rights and a cast a ballot.”

The bill (SB 939) would permit the automatic mailing of absentee ballots at election time to per-manently disabled voters. Voters would have to file an absentee ballot application together with a doctor’s certificate stating that they have a permanent disability and are unable to appear in person at their polling place if they want to be added to their town’s list for

automatic ballots.Nafis introduced the legislation

because one of her constituents, a Newington woman, has difficulty making trips to town hall, because of a disability.

Nafis added, “This is the fifth year that I introduced legislation like this, and I’m elated that we finally passed this bill. Now it will be so much easier for my constitu-ents and other voters throughout the state to cast ballots.”

The bill is supported by the League of Women Voters and Secretary of the State Denise Merrill. The bill now heads to the governor for his signature.

Nafis was first elected to the legislature in November 1998 to represent Newington’s 27th Assembly District.

Nafis bill will help people with disabilities to voteOn May 25, Officers Jeffrey

Wagner and Wayne Kornbrath were awarded the Newington Police Department’s Excellence in Police Award for actions dur-ing a robbery complaint.

On Nov. 6, 2010, at 1:12 p.m. a victim contacted the Police Department on 911 to report that he had been robbed on East Cedar Street. Kornbrath, K-9 Officer Wagner and K-9 Archi were dispatched to investigate.

Investigation into the incident determined that a cab driver had been assaulted and robbed by two male customers that were previ-ously riding in his cab.

The suspect males reportedly cursed his race and religion, spit on him, and accused him of being

a terrorist. The cab driver report-ed that he thought the men were going to kill him.

The suspects fled on foot and upon arrival, Wagner observed two males running from the rear of a local business.

Wagner pursued the males on foot issuing orders for them to stop. When they didn’t respond, he issued a K-9 release warning, further instructing the assailants to stop. K-9 Archi was eventually deployed to apprehend the fleeing felons. K-9 Archi knocked one of the suspects, later identified as Gerald F. Margelot Jr., to the ground while the second male continued to flee the area on foot. K-9 Archi held Margelot Jr. at bay until Wagner arrived.

While attempting to handcuff Margelot Jr., Wagner encountered significant physical resistance.

During the struggle the sus-pect was bitten by K-9 Archi but continued to engage Wagner in a hand to hand altercation.

Wagner suffered a broken hand as a result of his struggle with the suspect.

Kornbrath had arrived by this time and also engaged the suspect.

Kornbrath also received signifi-cant resistance from the armed suspect.

The suspect continued to struggle and bit Kornbrath on the leg. Both suspects were eventually arrested on several robbery and assault related charges.

Officers receive Excellence Award

On June 10 at 10 a.m., 44 students including Newington resident John McCarthy, cele-brated Watkinson School’s 130th commencement in Hartford.

Despite the white dress-es and matching ties, the ceremony was anything but tra-ditional. Watkinson’s mission is

to “develop in our students the power to shape their lives and the world around them,” so years ago the administration decided that instead of inviting an out-side speaker, it would be more meaningful to have the gradu-ates themselves offer advice and reflections to their peers.

McCarthy was among 20 seniors that completed this rigorous process and presented regarding their experiences at Watkinson — what they learned, loved, and what they will keep with them as they head off to college and beyond.

Any graduating senior can opt

to perform or speak at gradua-tion, but they must go through a long, serious process of draft writing, reflection and practice, attending to deadlines along the way.

Senior presentations ranged from heartfelt speeches to songs, poems, and dance performances.

On June 4, Newington teen Brenda Teall Winn, who is going to be a junior at Kingswood-Oxford in the fall, scheduled an appoint-ment to have over 11 inches of her hair cut off at Contemporary Image in Newington.

Her hair was then donated to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program to be used to make real hair wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments.

Brenda answered some questions about her decision for the program.

What made you want to donate your hair?

Honestly, my hair was getting long at the end of eighth grade, and I had always heard of, or known people that have, donated hair. I always wanted to, but never really thought of it seriously. On a whim basically, I said to my dad “How about I donate it?” and from there, I just let my hair grow.

What drew you into this pro-gram instead of the more widely known Locks of Love?

The two other family friends I have that donated both used Pantene Beautiful lengths, so I researched the difference. I found on Locks of Love website this:

• Q. What do the children pay for these hairpieces?

A. We provide hairpieces and repairs free of charge or on a sliding scale based on the financial need of those respon-sible for the children.

• Q. What is the retail cost of the hairpieces?

A. Between $3,500 and $6,000.

I believe that cancer patients deserve more than that and Pantene gives the wigs, so they take dona-tions, and then donate wigs. Also, Locks of Love openly admits that they sell extra hair, so it is no guarantee that all of the hair will be used, and if I am growing my hair (effortless) then cutting it and

getting a whole new look (which is hard to accept) I want to make sure that everything I give will be used, at least as much as they pos-sibly can.

I have a soft spot for kids and I

want the idea that my organization getting my hair helps kids with cancer, who have lost a lot of hope, regain some of their flair for life by having hair back, or at least looking the part.

How long have you been grow-ing your hair for, without getting a major haircut (more than a trim)?

I suppose it was like mid-eighth grade the last time I got a pretty serious haircut. At first I was just growing it long because I wanted it long, and then I added a cause.

For more information on the pro-gram and to see how you can donate, visit: http://www.pantene.com/en-US/beautiful-lengths-cause/pages/how-hair-wigs-help-women.aspx

Kenneth Bell Jr., band director at Martin Kellogg Middle School, was elected to membership in the American School Band Directors’ Association Regional Conferences held recently at five locations in the United States. The ASBDA is a national organization composed of profes-sionally trained, experienced directors and teachers of school bands whose purpose is to advance and improve music education of those students engaged in the study of band instruments.

Directors are selected on the basis of their teaching experience, the success of their music programs, and the

recommendation of members of this prestigious organiza-tion. The association consists of approximately 1,000 band directors from the U.S. all of whom wish to cooperate with school administrative officials and educational organiza-tions to provide a rewarding experience for each student of instrumental music.

At the state, regional and national conventions, mem-bers have discussions, forums, panels, speakers, lectures, technique demonstrations, clinics and performances by outstanding bands all of which encourage the contin-ued improvement and advancement of the school band

director selected. Some states design and implement spe-cial projects.

Through active participation in ASBDA, membes share ideas, strategies, hear new music and attend clinics given by nationally known musicians, directors and clinicians. Sharing with other musically recognized directors from all over the US. brings a level of experience that develops the individual director’s capabilities as a person, a teacher and a musician. Thus, the American School Band Directors’ Association provides benefits to the school and commu-nity as well as to the directors selected for membership.

Stories are an essential part of owning a great classic car

Congratulations to Peter Eddy of New Britain for winning four Rock Cats tickets just for stopping by, saying “Hi” and signing up for the Town Crier’s “Deal of the Day.”

Bob Zysk of Newington sits in his 1955 Buick Super. Zysk recently drove his daughter to prom in the classic ride.

^ The story:1955 Buick Super 4d SedanOwner, Bob Zysk

Bob bought the car in 1990 for $650. When first saw car, although it was in extremely rough shape from being stored and had raccoons liv-ing in it, it was love at first sight. He saw the frame was good and just could not pass on buying this car for a steal of $650. It’s taken Zysk 16 years but the car is finally restored and Zysk loves showing it at street shows like Cruise Newington.

Joey Garcia with his Chevy Impala low rider.

^ The story:1971 Chevy Impala, low riderOwners, Joey and Nancy Garcia of Newington

When Joey first bought his Impala 21 years ago, he took the car to Cruise Branford a couple days later. They put him in the wrong class — modified instead of low rider. Since then, Joey ha slowly made changes to his car and brings the car to as many shows as possible just for the love of showing. He loves the atmosphere of these cars shows.

The specs: Seventh set-up of hydraulics, original interior, motor redone, chain steering wheel.

A 1952 Mercury Monterey.

More stories:1970 GTO JudgeOwner Scott Conley

This gem was previously owned by pro baseball player Jason Kendall of the Pirates. Conley is an avid classic car collector and this is his 47th car, family tradition.

Conley bought this car on e-Bay two years ago. The car came with Kendall’s rookie ball and bat, uniform and even an original box of Kendall Krunch Cereal.

The car is in it original condition and has all original paperwork. Conley took a 1st place trophy at a Wallingford show a few weeks ago. Conley loves showing his car at all Connecticut car shows and cruise nights.

1957 Chevy Bel-AirOwner, Tony B

Tony has owned this car for the past three years. This is a dream car for him as he has always wanted one since he was a young teenager. He is slowly restoring the car. He won an award at Cruise Newington.

Community NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER12 | Friday, June 24, 2011

The Central Connecticut Health District will announce the resumption of mosquito monitoring by the Connecticut Mosquito Management Program. As in previous years, mosquitoes will be collected around the state to detect the presence of viruses that can cause illness in people, such as West Nile Virus (WNV) and eastern equine encephali-tis (EEE). The mosquito trapping and testing program, coordinated by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, began May 31. As in the past several years, mosquitoes will be trapped and tested from 91 trap sites in 72 municipalities around the state. Two of those sites are within the Central CT Health

District, one in Newington and the other in Wethersfield. In 2010, eleven Connecticut residents were identified with WNV infec-tions, fortunately no deaths were reported.

To minimize the risk of acquiring a mos-quito-borne illness, residents are urged to take steps to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. These steps include the following personal protection and environmental measures:

Avoid outdoor activities one hour before and one hour after dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.

Wear long sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors; it is especially important to cover the arms and legs of children.

No product containing DEET should be used on infants less than 2 months old.

Cover babies’ playpens and carriages with mosquito netting when outdoors.

Avoid camping near fresh water swamps and use mosquito netting in tents.

Stay indoors when mosquitoes are numerous.

Eliminate sources of standing water such

as stagnant ponds, ditches, flower pots and old tires, as mosquito only needs a few table-spoons of water to lay eggs. Drain children’s pools, clean clogged gutters, and flush bird-baths and fountains once or twice a week. Dispose of tin cans, plastic containers, and any similar containers that have accumulated on your property, and drill holes in the bottoms of recycling and garbage containers that are left outside.

Make sure your property is graded properly and has adequate drainage. Look for places where rainwater collects and fill all holes and depressions. Mosquitoes will breed in any puddle that lasts more than 4 days.

Store boats, wheelbarrows, and containers upside down. If you have a pond, be sure it is aerated or stocked with fish such as goldfish and minnows, which eat mosquito larvae.

Patch holes in screens and make sure screens are tightly attached to doors and windows.

Use low toxicity insecticides and always follow the directions on the products. When

applying sprays, be sure to keep the wind at your back, carry the spray away from you, and avoid personal contact with it and excessive inhalation of spray materials.

Place bat houses on your property.Anyone with questions or concerns about

mosquito control, WNV, or any public health issue may contact the Central Connecticut Health District, celebrating 15 years of community service, at www.ccthd.org (860-721-2822) or The Connecticut Department of Public Health at www.ct.gov/mosquito. Brochures about mosquito control and West Nile Virus also are available from the Central CT Health District.

Additional information about mosquito control can also be obtained from the CT Department of Environmental Protection at www.ct.gov/dep, the CT Agricultural Experiment Station at www.ct.gov.caes, and the CT Dept. of Agriculture at www.ct.gov/doag. Inquiries about pesticide-related subjects are handled through the National Pesticide Information Center at 1-800-858-7378.

ALL CONFERENCE 2011 SELECTIONS

Sportswww.newingtontowncrier.comSportsThe Newington Mustangs went

into the second game of the young season with a high spirit on June 18 at Legends Field in Newington.

They finished with a drained and frustrated feeling, as the Colchester Dirtbags, whom the Mustangs eliminated in last season’s playoffs, held them down to 2 hits and one run, in a 9-1 loss, evening up the Mustangs to a 1-1 record.

Alex Jackson, who came on in relief in the 3rd inning and pitched very well in his first outing this season, limiting them to 5 hits over the final 5 innings. “A.J. came in and did a nice job in holding down Colchester after they opened up a big early lead”, said manager Ron Manzione.

The Mustangs went on to play Cromwell again on June 21, this time at Cromwell Middle School. Sean Harrison got the start and went 5 innings, striking out 6 and walking only 3, but he ran into trouble in the 3rd inning, allowing

4 runs and 6 hits. “Sean had really good control

but got victimized by some pitches that he left over the plate and was smacked around a bit”, said Ron Manzione. “He did come back and settle down after that. I was proud of his effort”, he added. On the offensive side, the Mustangs col-lected 9 hits, some perfectly placed, and scored 10 runs in the close victory.

There were 9 different play-ers with one hit, with Andrew Gotowala having 3 RBI and Jonah Sanchez collecting 2 RBI in the 10-9 victory.

The game was a see-saw battle until the 7th, when Mike Snyder and Nick Aconfora started the inning with singles, Mike Giordano collected his 3rd walk and Trevor Collosa drove in one run with a bases loaded infield hit to the pitch-er, who threw the ball wildly home which allowed Nick to score.

The bottom of the 7th was as

wild and crazy as you could get, with Cromwell loading the bases with no outs off relief pitcher Phil Cocce. On a 2-2 count to the bat-ter, the pitch was a ball and the batter started for first, and the other baserunners also started to advance a base, but quick thinking by the infielders got one out at third base, but one run scored.

The batter had to return to the plate where he was struck out by Cocce. The next batter lined one to second where Sanchez made a leap-ing catch to end the game.

“That’s one I’ve never seen before”, said Manzione. “ It was like they were all stealing in slow motion, but noone knew where to go at first. Luckily we got one out and Phil pitched out of it”, Manzione added.

The Mustangs improve to 2-1 and are scheduled to face South Meriden at Legends Field this Saturday June 25 at 1 p.m.

Newington Mustangs go to 2-1 for the season
