The high-light of the event will be the smokesimulation trailer, which allowsfirefighters to teach children howto escape from a smoke-filledroom, although the “smoke” isreally just harmless water vapor.“We have a window they can

practice escaping through inthe smoke-filled trailer,” saidLachance. “We’ve been doing thisfor several years now and we havereally gotten a positive responsefrom the public.”The event will be staffed by

firefighters from Newington’sfour companies, plus its CadetCompany — those ages 16-18who aspire to become firefight-ers. There is no cost to attendthe event, sponsored by theNewington Fire Department.“We encourage any firefight-

ers who are available that night

Two Newington residents arebeing inducted into the HousatonicCommunity College Foundation’sAlumni Hall of Fame for their out-standing work in the Newingtoncommunity.FernandoGoncalves Rosaand Patricia J. Foleyare two of threeConnecticut residentsbeing celebrated atthe foundation’s thirdannual gala Nov. 19.Rosa is deputy director of

HEDCO,Inc.,a companyproviding

area small businesses with alter-native financing and support. Hevolunteers tirelessly in the commu-nity, serving as Connecticut directorof the Portuguese AmericanCitizenProject, founder and director of thePortuguese Foundation and chair-man of the Board at the PortugueseAmerican Leadership Council ofthe United States.“I always wanted to give back to

the community all that I have,” saidRosa. “I always put my best effortsforward to make a better communi-ty and make my talents more useful.

That’s part of my phi-losophy of life.”Rosa is also on

the NewingtonD e v e l o p m e n tCommission and adirector at CapitalWorkforce Partners.

He did not expect to be induct-ed into the HCC Alumni Hall of

Fame.“I am very honored and humbled,

but the honor is more to the peoplewho have supported me along theway to help me through this pro-cess,” said Rosa. “It inspires me todo more and more. I need to be thebest I can be today so I can be theretomorrow.”

Foley is a self-employed certifiedpublic accountant who specializes insmall businesses.She is also involvedin a number of civic organizations,including friends of ConnecticutLibraries and theAmerican LibraryAssociation, andis president of theNew England LaceGroup. She serves asmembership chair-person of the Friendsof the Lucy RobbinsWelles Library, and chairs the bud-get committee for her condominiumassociation, where she is currentlyinvolved in a project to re-certify thecommunity for FHA approval.“I’m fortunate enough to work

with a tremendous group of vol-unteers,” said Foley of her work at

the library. “We were able to raise alot of money; it’s a really importantthing having a public library.”Foley was also surprised she was

one of three Connecticut residentschosen for the HCC honor.“This is humbling and an honor,”

she said.“Hopefully, it will be inspir-ing to someone else and they toocan contribute in the communityand make a difference.”Foley and Rosa met recently after

finding out they were both Hallof Fame inductees and Newingtonresidents. They discovered not onlydid they both attend HousatonicCommunity College, they alsoboth received their bachelor’sdegrees from Central ConnecticutState University and attended theUniversity of Hartford. And they

live about a quar-ter mile apart inNewington.“This was all

unbeknownst toone and other,” saidFoley with a laugh.Stratford resi-

dent Nancy Sidoti,dean of Sacred Heart University,was the third inductee. The galawill honor the three alumni andalso serve as a major fundraiser forthe HCC Foundation’s ScholarshipFund, which disburses an averageof $150,000 annually to deservingstudents.

Construction on the MeadowView housing community reachedits halfway point about a week ago.Officials anticipate it being ready formove-in in early 2012.

The community, located behindthe Senior Center at 50 Mill StreetExtension, has been built specifi-cally for those ages 62 and olderwho live on low incomes.

The complex will consist of one,two-floor building with a centralcommunity space and 32 one-bed-room units, four designed to behandicapped-accessible. Each unitis equipped with a living and diningroom area, a full kitchen and onebathroom.

“The town of Newington hasbeen tremendously support-ive and helpful in working withus to build this community,” says

William Fairbairn, president andCEO of the New Samaritan Corp.,the force driving the community tocompletion.

The U.S. Department of Housingand Urban Development, alongwith Connecticut’s Departmentof Economic and CommunityDevelopment, funded the $6.8 mil-lion project through their NationalHousing Trust Fund Program.Residents will pay no more than30 percent of their income for rent,allowing them to have enough

money to meet their other needs,according to Tammy Lautz, directorof property management for ElderlyHousing Management, the com-pany spearheading the project.

“Each individual rent is based ontheir particular circumstances,” saidLautz.

With such close proximity to theSenior Center, seniors who moveinto the community will easily beable to become friendly with eachother while taking advantage of itsservices and activities and still living

independently.“It’s amazing how quickly resi-

dents become neighbors,”Lautz said.“There is outside space we encour-age residents to utilize as well.Therewill be picnic areas and a commongathering area outdoors, with thefocus being that this is their home.”

Residents will be encouraged toform a Resident Council to facilitateactivities within the community, likelunches, craft-making, and volun-teer work.

“After the first full year of

operation we will request fundingfor a resident service coordinator,”Lautz said, “a position assisting resi-dents in engaging social servicesfrom within the community, whichin turn will enable residents to age inplace, successfully in their homes.”

“What makes Meadow Viewparticularly appealing is that it willcombine easy access to stores andservices with a rural setting,” saidProject Architect Paul Selnau ofHenry Schadler Associates, PC, inFarmington. “The area is a par-ticularly conducive for senior livingbecause it is a block away fromNewington Center, making itconvenient to shopping, the localSenior Center and Town Hall. Atthe same time, those who live atMeadow View overlook woodedareas no matter where they are inthe community.”

Elderly Housing ManagementInc. is currently taking informationfrom those interested in movinginto the complex. To learn moreor have your contact informationadded to the inquiry list for one ofthe apartments, contact EHM at(203) 230-4809 ext. 1053.

The Connecticut affiliate ofSusan G. Komen for the Curepresented its 2011 CommunityProfile of Connecticut at a newsconference at the state CapitolMonday identifying areas withhigh rates of breast cancer, mor-tality and late-stage diagnosis.A late-stage diagnosis comes

when a health provider finds thecancer when it reaches stagesthree or four.Having had time to progress

without treatment, the disease ismore difficult to treat effective-ly at that point, increasing thechances of death.New Britain was one of 14

municipalities to be identifiedwith a high late-stage diagnosisrate, along with the surroundingtowns of Hartford,West Hartfordand Wethersfield. The report didnot contain figures showing thespecific numbers of cases.

The report indicated thatAfrican-American women in urbancenters and Hispanic women inmanufacturing areas are among theleast likely in the state to have amammography screening.According to health providers,

late-stage diagnosis also correlates tolower socioeconomic status. Lower-income people tend to have limitedaccess to care, a lack of health insur-ance, limited exposure to breastcancer education, have languagebarriers, and put family responsi-bilities before one’s own health care,according to Komen for the Cure.“Women prioritize their needs

last, after all else,” said KristenNoelle Hatcher, the former directorof grants and mission initiatives forKomen who helped assemble thecommunity profile.According to William Gerrish,

spokesman with the stateDepartment of Health, “Breast can-cer incidence rates are influenced byrates of mammographic screening.A townmay have a higher incidence

rate in part because more womenare being screened for breast cancer.In such a case, the percentage ofwomen diagnosed with late-stagecancer would likely be lower becausemany breast cancers would havebeen detected at an early age.”Komen Connecticut is now

offering grants of up to $50,000 toagencies and nonprofit organiza-

tions in affected communities tohelp implement health programsand services. Grant efforts can alsohelp high-risk, under-insured oruninsured women receive free orlow-cost mammograms.On a wider scale, the U.S.

Department of Health and HumanServices found that Connecticut hasthe second highest rate of female

breast cancer in the nation, with2,920 new cases of invasive breastcancer diagnosed in 2008.Mortalityrates have decreased, however, sincethe previous study in 2009, drop-ping the state from 16th to 34th inmortality rate.For more information or to read

To the editor,

Money is tight today. It seemsa dollar doesn’t go as far as itused to, and I need to make everypenny work for my family.With times like these, I want

a mayor who will keep in mindhow financially strapped mostresidents are and will actually dosomething about it.MayorMike Lenares has prom-

ised that he won’t increase ourtaxes at all, period.I really like that. I personally

could really use the break, and Iappreciate what he wants to do forthe families in town.

At first I was worried about theeducation when he pledged no taxincreases, but he promised that ifnecessary he can use money fromthe rainy day fund to take care ofeducation.To me it seems that Mayor

Mike Lenares wants to do every-thing he can to do what’s best forthe Town of Newington and ourresidents.Therefore, I urge all residents

to join me in voting for MikeLenares and the entire Republicanteam.

No tax hike sounds good

To the editor:

I was so happy to learn thatJane Ancona Siegel is runningfor the Board of Education. Sheis an attorney in town practicingin Newington center. In additionto working here, she grew up inNewington and has chosen to stayhere to raise her family.Her brothers and eight nieces

and nephews also live here, so sheis very rooted in Newington andwants to give back to the townshe loves.Jane has three children cur-

rently in the Newington schoolsystem and is an involved momwho plays an active role in herchildren’s education. She is thereevery day and experiences the

education of our children first-hand. I think this would make heran excellent addition to the Boardof Education.We need parents on the board

who have a vested interest in ourschools. Her three children are allvery different, so I think this givesher the ability to appreciate a vari-ety of concerns that parents mayhave, as chances are, she shares inthose concerns as well.I know she will keep those

concerns and the children inmind when serving on the board.Therefore, please join me in vot-ing for Attorney Jane AnconaSiegel.

Editor’s note:As the November 2011 elections approach, the Newington Town

Crier will run a series of campaign profiles on candidates running forMayor, the Board of Education, Town Council and Constable.The Newington Town Crier will make every effort to run oppos-

ing party candidates side-by-side but may not always have thisopportunity.The Newington Town Crier does not endorse any specif ic political

party.

Paul Vessella, 59, has been aNewington resident for 26 yearsand a Newington teacher for 35years. He’s had an itch to get intotown government for a while, butdidn’t feel it would be the rightthing to do until retirement. Nowhe has finally decided to run forTown Council in the Novemberelection.“I’ve always been interested in

politics but I always felt as a teacherit was a conflict of interest — that Ireally couldn’t be involved with thegovernment and employed by thegovernment at the same time,” saidVessella. “I retired two years agoand that’s when I started gettinginvolved.”That he did. Vessella is a jus-

tice of the peace, vice chairman ofthe Republican Town Committee,and a member of the ZoningBoard of Appeals and the Boardof Education’s Strategic PlanningCommittee.Hehaspreviouslyservedon the Balf Quarry Commissionand the Environmental QualityCommission as well.As a teacher, Vessella has had a

lot of experience working throughothers’ problems and seeking solu-tions. It’s this background that hefeels will make himan asset on the TownCouncil.“Listening to peo-

ple is important,” hesaid. “You understandtheir issues and tryto resolve them; helpthem work throughwhatever the situationhappens to be.”And Vessella thinks

he is ready to tacklethe issues at the fore-front of the council’sagenda.“I think we have to take a real

look at what’s happening on CedarMountain but all the hurdles haveto be met first,” he said. “I’m all forpreserving open space but we can’tafford to buy every piece of openspace in town.”He continued: “We’ve got the

National Welding site, with thebusway coming through and thetown’s working on a blight control

issue.”But the bottom line for Vessella

is keeping Newington a terrificplace to live.“We need to keep

Newington servicesat the quality thatthey’re at,” he said.“We’ve got a greatschool, great publicworks department andgreat police depart-ment. You don’t wantto jeopardize thoseservices because ofbudget constraints.”Although he real-

izes the weight ofa councilman’s responsibilities,Vessella is still modest.“A lot of these issues are things

that are pending,”he said.“I think asa newcomer, I have to wait and seewhere the pieces fall into place.”What Vessella wants Newington

to know about him is this: “I’m anaccessible person, I’m available tohear concerns and answer questionsfor people, and I follow throughwith what needs to be done.”

He moved to Newington 47years ago because of the “good taxrate, school system and town ser-vices”and now RobertTofeldt, 70, isrunning for Town Council to helpmaintain those qualities, ones thathe believes make Newington great.Now retired,Tofeldt is a former

small business owner and projectmanager. “I did a lot of businessmanagement for a small business,”he said. “I can think outside of thebox and I have ideas to put thevoters in Newington first.”He’s been attending Town

Council meetings for quite a whilenow to, as he said, “get a heads-upon what’s going on.”His ideas involve spending a bit

less money but maintaining andimproving the quality of servicessimultaneously.“I’m talking about getting the

people in the management posi-tions to check out the budget,find what it needs to be spent on,and making sure it’s spent on onlythat,” Tofeldt said. “[It’s about]

using the money smartly in theproper locations.”He’s been keeping up-to-date

on the current issuesbeing deliberated bytown officials andis especially uneasyabout the plannedbusway and NationalWelding site“I’m not in favor of

putting housing upthere. Right now it’szoned for industrial-commercial.” Tofeldtsaid. “We’re trying toget funds to tear thebuilding down and havethe site put to good use.They wantto remove the questionable housingout of the request and I think thatwill affect the overall grant for theremoval of the building.”Another of his concerns that

hasn’t necessarily been discussedrecently is getting Newingtonchildren to school safely. Somestudents attending first grade

and above walk to their schools,depending on how far of a dis-tance they live away.

“I think the highschool kids shouldbe able to walk butnot the lower levels,”said Tofeldt. “I’d liketo see all elementaryand middle schoolskids bused to schoolrather than walkingon streets withoutsidewalks. Last yearthey were slidingand falling; it’s arisk getting back-and-forth to school

on some of the side roads.”Tofeldt may be a Republican,

but that doesn’t mean he votesalong with the others in his party.“I’m going to look at the question,the pros and cons on it, talk tovoters, talk to townspeople and dothe best for the town,” he said. “Iwill not be 100 percent party-levelvoter when it comes time to vote.”

A Newington resident who hasserved on the Board of Educationfor the last five years would liketo keep the schoolsystem ahead of thenew advances in edu-cation. That’s one ofthe reasons why PamRaynock, 51, is run-ning for a spot onthe board again thiselection.“I want to make

sure that our childrenare going to be get-ting the 21st centuryskills they need forthe future,” Raynocksays.She spent five years tutoring stu-

dents inNewington schools and alsohas a daughter who just graduatedfrom Newington High School.“She was one of the reasons why

I got involved in the first place,”Raynock said of her daughter. “Ireally care about the town and pre-serving the educational experienceNewington has always provided.”Raynock’s work as a sales con-

sultant has allowed her to gainvaluable customer service skills thatshe thinks have helped her workeffectively on the board in the past.“I’ve been instrumental in re-

examining our middle schoolcurriculum in order to prepare ourchildren for even better success inhigh school,” she said of one ofthe programs she has implementedand would like to continue movingforward.And it’s moving forward that

highlights all of Raynock’s goals

for Newington schools: “I want tokeep updating out curriculum,” shesaid. “I think that it’s very impor-

tant we’re eliminatingprograms no longerapplicable for this dayand age and putting innewer ones — replac-ing things that may nolonger be relevant.”A personal finance

course was just createdfor the high school andthe board is in the pro-cess of securing a grantfor a financial planningcourse. Raynock is alsoexcited about the idea

of beginning a language programinto the elementary schools.“Progress is there for a reason,”

she said. “I want to make sure withthe diverse group of learners wehave, that everyone gets the rightexperience and achieves their fullpotential.”

At a recent fundraiser, MayorMike Lenares declared that it’stime for a “NoTax Increase”budgetand that if elected with his team ofrepublicans, he will do just that.Lenares said,“Enough is enough.

People are hurting. The federaland state budgets are in chaos andNewington residents just need abreak.”He said many Newington resi-

dents have lost their jobs and most

others either haven’t gotten a raiseor have had their incomes cut.“I’ve done four town budgets and

I know how to produce a budgetthat keeps taxes flat and still haveno cuts to services or education,”he said.When asked about the Board

of Education and its demands,Lenares said, “The board will defi-nitely have to sharpen their pencils.However, should they need some

help,we have a huge rainy day fundthat I would tap to adequately fundour schools. In these economictimes, if this isn’t a rainy day, I don’tknow what is.”Apparently, the town has a rainy

day fund of approximately $14.5million that is expected to grow byat least another $1 million this year.Lenares said that residents simplyneed a tax break and that he and histeam will provide it if elected.

NEW BRITAIN — A newboard overseeing 17 state colleg-es and universities kicked off itswork Tuesday, saying it wants toensure student success during andafter college without diluting eachschool’s personality and signatureprograms.Lewis Robinson Jr., chairman

of the new Connecticut Board ofRegents for Higher Education, saidat its inaugural meeting that heand others share a sense of urgencyto prepare students to compete ina world where adaptability, prob-lem solving, strong communicationskills and curiosity are critical.“I think if we infuse these charac-

teristics into the various disciplinesand various programs, Connecticutrises to the top of the heap,”Robinson saidTuesday as the boardmet at Central Connecticut StateUniversity, the largest institutionunder its control.The new board is still a project

in the works, though, because six ofits 15 voting members have not yetbeen chosen.Gov. Dannel P.Malloy has three

appointments to make; state SenatePresidentDonaldWilliamshas one;and two student representatives arebeing elected this fall from amongthe colleges and universities.Malloy and top legislators pushed

the General Assembly this year tocreate the regents board, saying itwill make the colleges operate moreefficiently and help them respondquickly to business and academictrends with new degree programs.The board is overseeing the

budgets, policies, curriculum andoperations of 17 institutions with

combined budgets of more than$1 billion: Connecticut’s 12 com-munity colleges, its online CharterOak State College and the four-year Eastern, Western, Southernand Central Connecticut Stateuniversities.About 95,000 students attend

the institutions, or about half ofthe people in Connecticut whoare enrolled in higher education.The rest attend the University ofConnecticut, the U.S. Coast GuardAcademy and various private col-leges and universities.UConn’s board of trustees is not

affected by the reorganization thatcreated the new Board of Regentsof Higher Education, but the oldboards that ran the 17 state col-leges and universities are windingup their work through year’s endand must submit all of their actionsto the regents for ratification.The reorganization has sparked

some controversy. Some commu-nity college students and leaders,in particular, have said they worrythose institutions might be over-shadowed by the four-year schoolsbecause their missions are so differ-ent and unique.Michael Meotti, who was the

regents’ interim president beforeRobert Kennedy was appointed tothat position, has said that contraryto playing a secondary role, thecommunity colleges are likely to getmore of what their students needthan ever before because the two-year schools are linked so closelywith other colleges and universities.For instance, recent studies have

found that many students in four-year public universities are takingclasses concurrently at communitycolleges to complete prerequisitesor when courses they need at their

universities are full or not offered ina particular semester.That overlap seems to fit the

students’ needs, but hasn’t been rec-ognized or fostered as much byeducation leaders as it should havebeen, said Meotti, who is now theregents’ executive vice president.The regents also start their work

at a time when budgets are tightand administrators have been tryingto absorb cuts without letting classsizes get too large.This year’s state higher educa-

tion funding is about $292 million,and it’s expected to drop to around$284.5 million next year. That’sdown from a high point of $329million in the 2007-08 academicyear. Other income comes fromtuition and fees, grants and othersources.“While the sacrifices are real,

they’re not unexpected ... that’sthe mandate we’re hearing fromeverywhere: We have to do morewith less,” said Louise Feroe, act-ing chancellor of the ConnecticutState University System, whosetrustee board is being phased outand replaced by the regents.Kennedy, who started as presi-

dent on an interim basis last month,said he will spend the next severalmonths visiting the 16 campusesunder the regents’ authority andmeeting with the employees andstudents. He is also meeting withadministrators of the Charter Oakonline degree-granting program.“Each of the colleges and uni-

versities has a distinct niche andmission and, as I’m beginning to seenow as I travel around to the dif-ferent campuses, tremendous talentand much to offer our students inthe state of Connecticut,” Kennedysaid.

NEWINGTON — WhenSouthington quarterback StephenBarmore called “QB-blast left”on a first-and-10 from the BlueKnights’ own 20, he may not haveknown it would be the key playin his team’s 13-6 victory overNewington Saturday night.But when he found the end

zone 80 yards later, he probablyhad an inkling.“The hole was huge, I could

drive a truck through it,” thesophomore signal caller said afterthe game. “Around the sidelinedown there Jared Degumbia camefrom the opposite side of the fieldand took out three defenders. Afew key blocks and that’s why itwas such a big run.”“If the holes are there, our guys

are going to break it,”Southingtonhead coach Mike Drury said,praising both his runners andoffensive line. “The conditionshave been rough the last couplegames, there’s really not a lot offooting. They did a good job.”The runwas the only score in the

first half of play, and paired with amissed extra point, Southington’s6-0 lead was far from a sure thing;especially against an Indian teamthat had three red zone opportu-nities, and would get two more inthe second half.“Coach Drury said clean it up,”

Barmore said, recalling a halftimeconversation with his skipper.“We knew six points was notenough to win.”Barmore completed 11 passes

for 77 yards in the win, but his122 yards on the ground led arunning attack that outgainedNewington 240-100, key on a wetand soggy field.“The guys played their tails off,”

Newington coach Roy Robertssaid of his winless Indians, “andwe got into the red zone. Whoknows, if we punch a couple ofthose in there it’s anyone’s ballgame.”The red zone struggles started

on the Indians’ opening drive.After driving all the way to theBlue Knights’ five yard line,Christian Beauford missed a fieldgoal on fourth down, leavingNewington empty handed for thefirst time.Later in the second quarter, the

Indians failed to turn a Barmorefumble at the Southington 20 intoany points, with Jon Snyder’s passpicked off by Corbin Garry.Though the scoreboard may

not reflect it, Snyder was dyna-mite in the game, going 14-for-33for 177 yards. His favorite target,Zach Morris, caught eight passesfor 138 yards.Also key on offense for the

Indians was running back EricRyan, whose 14 rushes netted 74yards.Again deep in Blue Knight ter-

ritory, a fourth-down attempt inthe third quarter was fruitless, andanother late in the fourth thanksto a Sixto Acosta fumble recoveryended with a ball hitting the endzone on fourth-and-three fromthe seven with just over six min-utes to play in the game.“I told the kids keep your chins

high,” Roberts said. “Anybodythat’s been watching us has seensome improvements in certainareas, and that’s all I ask of theguys. We’re not happy with theoutcome, but we did see come

progress tonight.”Newington got the ball back

with 3:49 remaining in the gameand drove all the way into theend zone, with an Eric Ryanrun finally finding paint, cuttingSouthington’s lead to 13-6.But a failed onsides kick would

spell defeat for the Indians and athird win for Southington.“I knew they’d be ready, they

have a good coach,” Drury saidof his Week 3 foe. “They cameafter it, they wanted to win. Youalways fear a team that has zerowins because they’re hungry forthat next one.”The second Southington score

came late in the third, a Matt

O’Connor 24-yard run thatalmost wasn’t.“I lowered my shoulder, that’s

what I know how to do. I movedmy feet, and I wanted that endzone bad,” the senior captain saidof the play. “When I see that endzone coming that close, I’m scor-ing, and no one’s going to stopme.”With one of the season’s biggest

tests behind them, the Indianshave a lot to build on after thehard-fought loss.“Those guys are tough man,”

Roberts said of Southington, “andfor those guys being as toughas they are, our guys grew uptonight.”

Football is a game won by takingadvantage of opportunities.This fact could not have been

more convincingly illustrated thanin Southington’s 13-6 victory overNewington Saturday night.The Indians were in the red zone

five times in the game, and onlyonce did Newington put points onthe board.That can either be attributed to

a stifling defense, or to an offensethat has had difficulties.“That’s the name of the game,”

Newington head coach RoyRoberts said of the battle to convert

field position into points. “We hadsome guys out there playing theirtails off. We got in the red zone,and who knows, if we punch acouple of those in it’s anybody’sball game.”“They stepped up when they

needed to,” Southington headcoach Mike Drury said of the BlueKnights defense. “We have a lotof things to fix to not let them getdown there, but when they neededto step up, they stepped up.”The Newington defense was

also strong, putting the Indians ina position to win. It stopped theBlue Knights seven times withoutpoints, but the offense was unableto solidify the win, perhaps because

of yet another key Newingtoninjury.“Jon [Snyder], he got tackled

and twisted his ankle,”Roberts saidof his starting quarterback, “andthat kind of slowed our offenseas well.”Though he only missed five

plays (one of them a 54-yardcompletion by his backup, BryanEsposito), Snyder was clearly notthe same aggressive, out-of-the-pocket quarterback upon his returnmidway through the third.“He’s a battler,” Roberts said.

“I am proud of him. With thatone wheel he was on, a lot of kidswould have folded, but he keptplaying.”

Snyder, who is expected to playnext week, joins an ever increasinglist of hurting Indians, a list thatalready includes offensive weaponsLuis Figueroa and Freddie Burgos.The two teams now diverge

toward different upcoming chal-lenges. Southington next will facea talented Conard team, fresh off abig win over Glastonbury.Conard has a high-powered

offense, and the Southingtondefense could face its biggest chal-lenge yet.“They’re a smash-mouth team,”

Drury said. “We just have to playthat style of football. It’s goingto be a tough matchup and we’regoing to practice our tails off to

get ready.”Newington, however, will get

a break from facing high pow-ered teams like Glastonbury andSouthington and face off againsta more manageable East Hartfordteam.The Indians’ early season battles,

particulary Saturday against theBlue Knights, will help preparethem to perhaps finally end theburden of a 13-game losing streak.“You saw a lot of guys grow up

tonight and make plays,” Robertssaid with pride. “You saw a lot ofguys grow up tonight and get bet-ter, but by no means is this a moralvictory, we don’t play for moralvictories.”

NEW BRITAIN — TheNewington Indians have founda winning lineup after a coupleof weeks of searching, while theNew Britain Golden Hurricanesare searching for one after think-ing they had one during a goodstart to the year.While there is plenty of time

left in the girls volleyball sea-son, it was clear that Wednesdaynight’s game between the teamssaw squads going in differentdirections.Newington played well and,

more importantly, cohesively in athree-game sweep of New BritainSept. 28.Roxy DeBlois and Alizandra

Stamm had eight blocks each forNewington, which is now 2-5 onthe year but starting to look likea different team than the one thattook some lumps early.This was, I think and I’m hop-

ing, our breakout performanceof the year,” Newington coachJen Micowski said. “We’ve beenstruggling a little bit to cometogether and find a consistentlineup. I think today everything

started to click.”Things started well for

Newington, which jumped outquickly in each of the first twogames on the way to easy wins.Considering the competitionNewington has played so far thisyear and the way that schedule hasfallen, the fact that Newingtonwas sharp early in the game wasparticularly impressive.“This was our third game this

week so this has been a tiringweek for us, but we came outwith a lot of energy,” Micowskisaid. “Our hitters took controlat the net, our defensive playersmade excellent passes to lead ourattack, and I think things justwent our way tonight. Hopefully,we can run with this because nowwe’ve seen the kind of team wecan be.”New Britain (3-3) certainly

knew what the Indians could docoming into the night, and theoutcome of the game did nothingto change the Hurricanes’ mind.“I knew Newington wasn’t a

1-5 team. They definitely havea good team They’re very well-coached and [DeBlois] is a verygood player,” New Britain coachMichelle Abraham said.Abraham made some changes

to her lineup in part for disciplin-ary reasons, and the Hurricanessuddenly looked anything but likethe team that started 2-1.

“We had too many lapses ofcommunication,” Abraham said.“Who was going to get the ball,who wanted the ball. We justweren’t together tonight.”Micowski’s squad was, and that

made all the difference in its win.Madison Sullivan and MeganHinchcliffe were strong ondefense and the Indians showeddepth on offense.“I think Roxy and [Stamm]

both had eight kills tonight andthe rest of the team combinedfor maybe 10 more,” Micowskisaid. “It was a collective efforttoday. When you’re putting theball away collectively that manytimes, you’re going to be on thewinning side of things the major-ity of the time.”Those wins will come more

often if the Indians can keep theirmental toughness, something theyhave managed to do so far despitethe early adversity.“It’s tough when you open

your season against the three bestteams in our league,” Micowskisaid. “I don’t want to use thatas an excuse because I think wecould have played better at timesin that match. But we’re movingin the right direction. I give mykids a lot of credit.We could haveeasily packed it in at 1-5, but theydon’t do that. They come andwork hard every single day andthey try they’re hardest. Today,

trying their hardest was rewardedwith a win on the court.”
