Newington Town Crier 05-10-2013

Becoming an Eagle Scout requires far more than lighting campfires and tying knots.

Three Newington residents just received their Eagle Court of Honor Sunday at Grace Episcopal Church in front of their Scout lead-ers and families.

It was a long road, and one that the boys traveled together over the last seven years.

Best friends, seniors at Newington High and all 18 years old, Benjamin Page, Stephen Cowell and Andrew McCarter began their journey at age 11.

“It’s unusual to have a com-bined ceremony, but they were best friends and sometimes we take it for granted but its hard to keep a best friend that long when you’re a kid,” said Troop 347 Scoutmaster Tim Manke, who has mentored the boys since the beginning.

Throughout their journey, they worked on merit badges and dem-onstrated troop leadership and citizenship in the community, state and nation.

“The minute they join, they start working on the trail to Eagle,” Manke explained. “Every badge you earn is one step closer.”

But it was their three unique

community improvement projects that differentiated their journeys.

Stephen Cowell chose to tackle a problem identified at the town’s R.O.P.E.S. Challenge Course off of Fenn Road. Birds were found nest-ing on the course’s elements and equipment rendering it unusable,

so Cowell built 12 birdhouses in the surrounding trees to accommo-date the creatures. When Hurricane Sandy brought a tree down, the boys even rescued the birdhouse that fell with it.

“It was definitely a worthwhile project,” Manke said.

Cowell studied the native species living there and designed six homes for bluebirds, six for robins.

“I had about 10 to 15 scouts there to help me build the houses and 10 to 15 to help me install them,” he remembered, adding, “Once I got

Resident honored for work at ‘most important job in Connecticut’

Newington resident and Bristol’s water superintendent, Rob Longo, gained statewide recognition Wednesday for his dedication to providing safe, healthy drinking water.

He holds “the most important job in Connecticut,” said Lori Mathieu, who heads the state Department of Public Health’s drinking water division.

At a ceremony at Bristol’s water filtration plant Wednesday morning,

attended by most of his department and a number of city and state officials, Longo was presented with the state’s Certified Operator Public Health Drinking Water Merit Award, the first to receive it in years.

Longo, superintendent since 2006, said the award is a reflec-tion of the top-notch team at the water department, not just today but stretching back to its origins in 1884.

“We have the best department in the city,” Longo said. “Everyone realizes it’s more than just a job.”

Bristol Mayor Art Ward said it speaks volumes about Longo that the superintendent recognized the award did much more than honor him individually. He said Longo recognized immediately that it is also a pat on the back for the entire department.

State officials said Longo deserved the accolade in part because he’s also faced up to problems quickly and forcefully and used his experiences to educate other operators across Connecticut.

They cited, for example, the landslide that took out a chunk of Farrell Avenue during Tropical Storm Irene, leaving one of the main pipelines from the filtration plant to downtown entirely exposed. It stretched across a chasm created by the road’s collapse.

Mathieu said that Longo called her almost immediately for advice and help. In the end, the city con-structed a temporary bypass for the pipeline section and then replaced it during a road reconstruction project.

Mathieu said Longo has also embraced a state push to improve drinking water “above and beyond” the minimum acceptable standards that have to be met.

With Longo in the lead, she said, Bristol is “going to be ahead of the curve” as communities struggle to keep up with a changing global

climate that may make it harder to ensure drinking water supplies are plentiful and safe.

Bill Sullivan, who works for Mathieu, said Longo has proven himself to be “a great communica-tor” who is also approachable and a critical thinker.

Longo, an Eastern Connecticut State University graduate, has worked in the water supply field

for 17 years, beginning as a meter reader in Plainville.

He has a wife, Romana, and two children, son RJ, 9, and daughter Isabella, 6. All of them, along with his parents, were present for the ceremony.

Friday, May 10, 2013 | 3NEWINGTON TOWN CRIER Local NewsLocal young entrepreneurs launch dress shirt company

It’s hard to imagine design-ing clothing, building a factory and running a business at age 26, but Newington resident Daniel Johnson is doing it.

He and three other local 20-some-things are launching ParleIV at the end of May, a company that designs and sells its own dress shirts for men. They recently gained publicity after receiving a Business Pre-Launch Award and $2,500 prize from Hartford Young Professionals and Entrepreneurs, an initiative of the MetroHartford Alliance.

“The Greater Hartford Region is home to an active community of young entrepreneurs and we are excited to celebrate their achieve-ments with our Entrepreneurship Awards,” said Julie Daly Meehan, HYPE’s executive director. “Each of the winners demonstrated a commit-ment to innovation and excellence that inspires their peers and we look forward to watching their enterprises grow in the coming years,” she con-tinued.

ParleIV isn’t a traditional profes-sional attire company — maybe because it was built by a team of young professionals hoping to make a new mark on a long-standing indus-try.

Utilizing a web-based e-commerce retail model, the company sells its own dress shirts directly to consumers online. Without having to maintain physical store locations and all that comes along with that conventional route, they found a way to cut costs and increase efficiency — providing a high quality product at a more afford-able price.

The word “parle” is French for “spoken.”

“The shirts we believe speak for themselves,” explained Johnson of the company’s name.

“We’re pretty outspoken ourselves and IV is the four of us together sim-ply,” he added.

Johnson met co-founders Jeremy Stambovsky of Manchester and brothers Adam and Matt Alfin, of West Hartford and New Britain, two years ago. They decided to pool their ideas and business experience to start the company (they all studied busi-ness or finance in college). Each has been putting in at least 20 hours a week to move it along ever since.

“We’ve done a lot of research and the men’s dress shirt market alone is a million dollar market,” said Johnson. “Men ages 25 to 55 are doing a lot of online ordering of their dress shirts — mostly on Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays; that’s a huge demographic purchasing work attire online,” he added.

But the clothing customers will find at ParleIV has its own unique niche. The guys have designed three different styles based on trips to trade shows and conventions. Each is for sale at $85 and manufactured in China.

The “Pilot” is for the more adven-turous man, while the “Sage” is a traditional button-down with loop-and-lock technology that secures the tie in place. “It makes the tie stay secure so it doesn’t pop out behind your neck,” Johnson described. “You can put on the tie before you put the dress shirt on.”

The final style is known as the “Wily” and is described as “a com-plete twist on the traditional dress shirt,” as the collar opens in reverse.

Each shirt comes to your door wrapped in a fancy woven ribbon, placed inside a waterproof plastic bag and packaged in a hardcover box. This elaborate packaging is intended to ensure a high customer retention rate, one of the many keen busi-ness practices the guys have up their sleeves. Shipping time will be the standard two weeks with overnight possibilities available.

“Everything measures up to most larger competitors,” Johnson said.

Parle IV is currently test-market-ing its products, pricing, styles, colors

and more on Kickstarter, an indepen-dent funding platform growing in popularity with young entrepreneurs.

The ParleIV product will be avail-able online by the end of May. To learn more about the company and check for updates on product avail-ability, visit facebook.com/parleiv.

CCHD urges residents to take precautions regarding lead poisoningDo you know what is colorless,

odorless and tasteless, and can affect both children and adults alike? If you thought of lead, you are correct. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), young children are the most at risk for lead poisoning because of the harm-ful affects on the developing nerves and brain. In fact, the younger the child, the more damaging exposure can be. For these reasons, the Central Connecticut Health District is urging all residents to take precaution and do their part to prevent lead poisoning in their homes.

Lead is a highly toxic metal that occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust. It can be used in paint and gasoline, and can be found in contaminated soil, household dust, toys, drinking water, lead glazed pottery and some metal jewelry. Lead-based paint and lead contaminated dust are the main sources for lead in United States chil-dren. Lead gets into the bodies of children when lead objects are placed in a child’s mouth or by particles of lead dust in the air.

Both adults and children can suf-fer from lead poisoning. Most adults with lead poisoning are exposed in their work environment or while remodeling their home. Some hob-

bies, such as making stained glass or refinishing furniture also offer oppor-tunities for lead exposure. Adults with lead poisoning may experience high blood pressure, digestive problems, nerve disorders, memory and con-centration problems, muscle and joint pain, cataracts, and fertility problems, especially in men. Women who are pregnant when exposed to lead can pass the lead to their unborn fetus.

Lead poisoning commonly builds up over time through repeated expo-sure to small amounts of lead. The symptoms of lead poisoning may include: abdominal pain and cramp-ing (usually the first sign of a high, toxic dose of lead poison), aggressive behavior, anemia, constipation, dif-ficulty sleeping, headaches, irritability, loss of previous developmental skills, low appetite and energy and reduced sensations. However, very high levels of lead may cause vomiting, stagger-ing walk, muscle weakness, seizures or coma. Possible complications of lead poisoning include behavior and attention problems, failure at school, hearing problems, kidney damage, reduced IQ and slowed body growth.

Lead-based paints were banned for use in housing in 1978, accord-ing to the CDC. All houses built before 1978 are likely to contain

some lead-based paint; however, it is the deterioration of the paint that causes a problem, particularly in chil-dren. According to the Connecticut Department of Public Health, child-hood lead poisoning is the most common pediatric public health problem, yet it is entirely prevent-able. It is important to determine the construction year of the house or the dwelling where your child may spend a large amount of time. In hous-ing built before 1978, assume that the paint has lead unless tests show otherwise.

To prevent exposure to lead, it is recommended that the following be done:∎ Make sure your child does not

have access to peeling paint or chew-able surfaces painted with lead-based paint.∎ Pregnant women and children

should not be present in housing built before 1978 that is undergoing renovation.∎ Create barriers between living/

play areas and lead sources.∎ Regularly wash children’s hands

and toys; discard toys with chipping paint∎ Prevent children from playing

in bare soil; if possible, provide them with sandboxes.

To determine if a person has lead poisoning, a simple blood test is administered. The CDC recom-mends that children should be tested at 6 months of age, and once each year thereafter if the risk of exposure is high. Once lead is detected in the body, it is imperative that its source be determined so that exposure can be halted.

The risk of lead poisoning can be reduced by following certain safe-ty practices. In the case of small children, caregivers should wash the child’s hands after they play outside, before eating, and before going to bed. Children should not be allowed to play near major roads and bridges. Providing nutritious, low-fat meals that are high in iron and calcium is important, because these minerals help to prevent the absorption of lead.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), contrac-tors have to follow newly developed required guidelines when working with lead. As of April 2010, contrac-tors performing work that disturbs lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and schools that are built before 1978 must be EPA certified and follow specific work practices to prevent the possibility of lead con-tamination. When working with

homeowners or residents, it is impor-tant to discuss the steps you will take to prevent exposure to lead. It is required that contractors set up safe work areas, including the selection of appropriate personal protective equipment, i.e. appropriate clothing and protective eyewear.

Five simple, yet important steps to remember when working lead-safe are: Protect your family and your neighbors; prepare your work area, protect yourself from lead dust, work wet and work clean.

To determine if your home has any lead-contaminated dust, risk asses-sor or sampling technician may be employed to take samples and submit to a laboratory for analysis. Additional information about lead poisoning is available from the National Institute of Environmental Health Services at www.niehs.nih.gov; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency at www.epa.gov/lead, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission at www.cpsc.gov. To obtain further informa-tion about this or any other public health concerns, contact the Central Connecticut Health District, serv-ing the towns of Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill and Wethersfield at (860) 721-2822 or by visiting our website at www.ccthd.org.

to the ceremony and saw everyone there to see me become an Eagle it was pretty powerful.”

Andrew McCarter, a member of the swim team at Newington High School, decided to build a photo rack to display pictures of past and future teams near the pool’s view-ing gallery.

“Every year there’s a new picture taken and they have no place to display them,” said Manke. “It was something he and the team saw a need for so they worked together to accomplish it.”

Crafted from plywood and wood molding, the racks were designed to hold photos of the girls and boys

teams from the year 2000 through 2017.

“It was a very memorable experi-ence,” McCarter said of his Court of Honor ceremony.

“I always imagined when I was a little kid it was going to be this big special day for me, but shar-ing it with my two best friends … we honestly share this connection for the rest of our lives,” he said Monday.

Ben Page gave the town an opportunity to rediscover a place that has been in the shadows for centuries. Newington’s founding fathers are buried at the Church Street Cemetery, which was in dis-repair until Page intervened. He

refuribished the cemetery, building a new white picket fence around its perimeter and uncovering head-stones.

“I lived in town all my life and I didn’t even know there was a cemetery there; it was kind of a shame in a town like ours we let it go to wreck and ruin. It was a lot of effort to get everything cleaned up,” Manke explained.

All the Scouts helped each other with their individual projects, mak-ing the collaborative ceremony that much more special.

“I helped out with theirs a little bit and they helped out with mine,” said Page. “It was cool to earn this together.”

6| Friday, May 10, 2013 NEWINGTON TOWN CRIERLocal NewsTheater program planning big production at Town Hall

A summer theater company that began in Bristol three years ago has moved to town and is seeking area performers ages 16 to 22 to audition for its first production in its new home.

GetUp Stage Company is better known as “Gusco” and will present the Broadway hit “In the Heights” at Newington Town Hall this August.

“Sometimes what we’re searching so hard for is right within our reach — in our families, friends and neigh-borhoods,” Artistic Director and Gusco Founder Lindsey DiPietro said of the show’s underlying theme.

DiPietro works full-time as an English teacher at Bristol Central, one of the city’s three high schools. Gusco began as a summer extension of the school’s drama program, but that was not her original intention.

“Most towns don’t have three high schools and a really active theatre pro-gram,” she explained. “We decided to get out of Bristol, expand our reach.

It’s a little scary to be moving; we had a big following of kids here.”

Gusco rehearsed and per-formed “Rent” in Bristol’s First Congregational Church in its first summer, then moved to Bristol Central for “Les Miserables” its second year. Last year, they com-promised, holding rehearsals at the church and performances at the school. In 2013, it was time to make a change.

“What’s unique about Gusco,” DiPietro said, “is that we are audi-tion-only, so I like to think we look for only those who want to pursue

theater seriously in the future. We try to do shows most people don’t think this age level could do; be a little ambitious,” she added.

DiPietro changes the age range of her cast depending on the show and is seeking 16- to 22-year-olds for “In the Heights.”

A modern-day drama that takes place in the heavily-Hispanic Washington Heights neighbor-hood of New York City, the show’s lead role and narrator is “Usnavi” a Hispanic kid and rap/spoken word artist.

DiPietro is seeking Latino actors and those of all ethnicities to rep-resent the diverse characters. She’s also splitting the dance and vocal ensembles to do both justice.

“There’s just incredible dancing,” she said Monday.

Eventually, DiPietro would like to collaborate with a college or univer-sity, using college students to mentor

the high school cast.“I have big dreams for Gusco,”

she says.Interested performers should pre-

pare 32 bars of a song — preferably

one from the show — that shows their vocal skill and energy. Auditions will be held June 6 from 5 to 9 p.m. and June 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Newington Town Hall, 131 Cedar St.

Tuition for the six-week program is $150 and payment plans are available. Rehearsals will begin July 9, every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Performances will be Aug. 16 to 18. For more infor-mation, visit getupstagecompany.com. To schedule an audition, email [email protected].

New company meets all your pet-sitting, walking needs

Ever feel guilty leaving a whim-pering puppy home alone for the day as you run off to work, school — and now that it’s May — the beach?

Well no worries, because now there’s a Newington-based dog-walking and pet-sitting service that can come to the rescue of you and your furry friends.

A Newington resident — born and raised — Christina Bengston can’t get enough of pets, and that’s why she’s made a career out of taking care of other peoples’.

“I always loved animals, always had pets. When I was growing up I wanted to be a veterinarian, but when I realized what you have to

do at the end of an animal’s life I couldn’t bring myself to do that,” she said Monday.

One day one of her neighbors needed someone to feed and walk her dog mid-day, because running back and forth from work was becoming too taxing for her.

Bengston’s business took off from there.

DON’T LET CONNECTICUT OFFICIALS REMOVEYOUR RIGHT TO KNOW FROM THE NEWSPAPER.

Visit www.ctdailynews.com to contact your legislator today

Pending legislation may remove your right to readpublic notices in newspapers, moving them from thepublic domain to government controlled web sites.We’re concerned. And you should be, too.

Public notices are an important tool in assuring aninformed citizenry. They have helped developAmerica into a participatory democracy for hundredsof years and where it counts the most: how your taxdollars are spent, how policy is made and how ourfutures are charted.

They are located in easy-to-find sections of yournewspaper. And they are fully accessible to everyone- unlike the internet, which is not accessible toeveryone.

Less than 10% of the U.S. population views a local,state or federal government website daily, accordingto the May 2009 release of U.S. Census Bureau,Annual Estimates of Resident Population.

This means more than nine out of ten people maynever see a given notice.

This compares dramatically to the fact that 83% ofadults read a community newspaper every week,according to the National Newspaper Association.

Furthermore, a public notice printed in thenewspaper produces a permanent record. The internetdoes not, nor does it assure timeliness. And anewspaper is archived for years; not subject tocomputer crashes and hackers.

Newspapers are easily verifiable, fully transparentand represent a secure third party who has nothing togain from any notice.

Connecticut’s recent ethical lapses shed a glaringlight on the full meaning of this problem. It’s likeputting the fox in charge of the hen house.

Every public notice, which runs in a Connecticutdaily newspaper, is automatically uploaded to thatnewspaper’s web site and CTPublicNotices.org.

Newspapers are your watchdogs. Don’t let thatrole be changed now. Voice your opinion.

To keep your notices in the newspaper, contactyour local legislator to oppose Senate Bill #1112 - AnAct Concerning the Publication of Legal Notices byMunicipalities.

The last time the Southington and Newington baseball teams met, Blue Knights pitcher Brett Susi threw a no-hitter. On Monday night, Southington start-er Joe Rivera was not quite as unhittable in the rematch against the Indians, but he was just as effective in preventing any runs from crossing the plate.

Rivera threw a solid six innings, striking out 12 batters and allow-ing just two hits as the Knights (12-2) took down Newington (7-6) 6-0 under the lights in Southington.

“I thought he threw great,” Knights coach Charlie Lembo said. “He pitched great, but that’s what he’s capable of. Joe is a good pitcher and when he’s throwing strikes and he’s on, he’s tough to hit. If he can get ahead, he can mix his other pitches in.”

Rivera mixed and matched his pitches well all night, keeping Indians batters off balance while striking 12 of them out. In fact, he went through a stretch where he struck out six-straight hitters in the fourth and fifth innings.

Newington cashed in on its first hit against Southington all year when Isaiah Rivera beat out a slow-rolling infield single in the top of the third inning, but he was stranded on base.

All of the offense came from the Knights who were out to a 3-0 lead while the sun was still up and the lights had still not been turned on.

Indians starting pitcher Marcus Guaderrama struggled with his command in the bottom of the first inning, allowing three runs to score without giving up a hit. Guaderrama walked three of the first four batters and hit the fifth man up which was Susi.

“It has actually been a tendency of (Guaderrama’s) and we are try-ing to work on it,” Newington coach Ben Alaimo said about the slow start from his pitcher. “That’s just something he’s trying to get over. He has a hard time some-times early. Once he gets settled in he really does throw the ball well, and I was happy with his perfor-mance minus that struggle in the

first inning.”Guaderrama did settle down

after the first. Although he allowed a run in the second when Andrew Goralski tripled home Matt Sirois, Guaderrama did not walk anybody in the inning. In fact, he did not walk anyone the remainder of his outing.

Guaderrama went 4.1 innings, allowing four runs, three of them earned, on five hits and two walks while striking out four.

Goralski had a solid night at

the plate for Southington, going 2-for-3 with the RBI triple. He finished with two RBI on the day after walking in a run in the first. Sirois scored two runs and went 1-for-3 on the night. Susi and David Palladino also had RBIs for the Knights.

The Indians continued to struggle scoring runs. After scor-ing one run in each of its last two games, Newington was blanked by Southington yet again.

Isaiah Rivera had two of the team’s three hits including a lead-off double in the top of the sixth inning. The Indians were not, however, able to drive him in.

Southington was able to add two more runs in the fifth inning off of a couple wild pitches and a throwing error by catcher Nick Sanford.
