newington town crier

By ERICA SCHMITTSTAFF WRITER

Current Republican MayorMike Lenares went up againstDemocratic mayoral candi-date Steve Woods in a debateMonday.NewingtonCommunityTelevision hosted the event,and about 100 members of thepublic came to listen to theopponents discuss their plans forNewington.Both candidates discussed the

negative ramifications of former

Mayor Jeff Wright’s leadership,Lenares emphasized his own“zero-percent increase” promiseto not raise taxes if elected, andWoods promised to not make anypromises he might not be ableto keep depending on the futurestanding of the state and federalgovernment.“I don’t only talk it, but I walk

the walk,” Woods said when dis-cussing party politics. “I don’t justtalk about being bipartisan, I livebipartisan.”Questionswere askedby amedia

panel of representatives from theHartford Courant, NewingtonLife and the Newington TownCrier, and the debate was mod-erated by NCTV’s Gary Byron.The candidates answered a totalof 10 questions on their strategies,views on hot-button issues, andother subjects.Some Newington residents

have said both candidates aresimilar — they both own land-scaping companies in town— and agree on many of theirviews.The purpose of the debate

was to identify their differences.When a question about build-

ing on Cedar Mountain cameup, it was clear where one dis-tinction lies.“Commercial and residential

development need to take thebackseat to open space,” Woodssaid. “I hope we can stop thedevelopment, it will probablychange the makeup of the town.I will do everything I can to

save it.”“We do want to preserve as

much open space as we can, butthat comes with a large dollarsign,” Lenares said.Referring to where the town could

could find the money to purchasea portion of the land.Woods said,“We have $6.3 million in theCIP account set up to fund pay-as-you-go and bonding projects,”“I won’t raise taxes to pur-

chase Cedar Mountain,” Lenaresresponded, upholding hiszero-percent promise. Instead,he proposed using the town’sLand Acquisition Fund to helppay for a piece of the land forpreservation.The candidates also discussed

the budget.“I believe that Newington

has done a great job securingthe budget,” said Lenares. “Thevision is to continue that sameplan without raising taxes.”He went on to suggest the

town’s rainy day fund be used topay for some needed programsand services, in light of the badeconomic times.“We have a bloated rainy day

fund, and if this isn’t a rainy day,I don’t know what is,” Lenaressaid.Of the Newington’s fiscal situ-

ation, Woodsaid, “Weshould have$13.5 millionin the rainyday fund bythe end ofthis year, so Ibelieve we’rein excellentshape,”T h e

Busway asbeen a divi-sive issuein the area and Woods andLenares weighed in with theirviewpoints.“I have no idea where the rid-

ership is coming from,” Woodssaid of his opposition to theBusway.With it potentially com-ing through Newington, the

proposed demolition of the near-by National Welding site bringsconcern over what type of “tran-sit-oriented development” the

state wantsto replace it,he said.Both can-

didates areagainst thehigh-densityhousing thatmay be tiedinto grantsto knockthe buildingdown.“I want

commercia ldevelopment there, maybe lightretail,” said Woods. “CCSU isalso looking to expand.”“I would like to see some light

retail ... professional office space,”Lenares said of his view. “Noone on the council wants high-density housing.”

From left, Molly Menner and Susan Rattigan act out a scene from �Godspell� during rehearsal.The Newington Children�s Theatre Company will perform the musical this weekend.

Quite a production


Newington Children’sTheatre Companyis presenting “Godspell” this weekend, itsfirst fall musical of the year. Performedby local tweens and teens, the story linerevolves around working through highschool drama — a struggle they are all toofamiliar with.The cast includes approximately four

boys and 13 girls, eight of which areNewington residents, the rest from sur-rounding towns. They’ve been rehearsingthree to four times a week for the lastsix weeks. The show marks NCTC’s newExecutive Artistic Director Claire VanCott’s very first directing experience withthe theatre.After receiving her undergraduate degree

in the fine and performing arts from aschool in Massachusetts, Van Cott spentthe last six years as an actress, touring theUnited States with various companies.“I got my master in arts leadership from

Seattle University just this year,” Van Cottsaid.She grew tired of living out of a suitcase

and settled down on the East Coast to benear family. She joined the NCTC teamin July and is excited to be directing her

first show.“Godspell” is loosely based on the Gospel

according to St. Matthew.“The reason this story was chosen is

because it could be set anywhere, schooldetention room,”Van Cott said. “The basictheme of the show is bringing a disparategroup of people together to form a com-munity. We have our geeks, our jocks,our nerds, our popular girls. This unlikelygroup of people are brought together andstripped of the comfort in their stereotypeand learn how to become a united, under-standing community.”Fifteen-year-old Kira Mason, a

Newington resident, gained insight fromthe rest of the cast at rehearsals.This is hereighth show with NCTC.“We’re all playing high school stereo-

types, and we had to share backstories and

ask each other questions as ourcharacters,” said Mason. “It wasboth hilarious and helpful.”The story was written by John

Michael Telebak in 1971 for athesis project at Carnegie MellonUniversity. The music was craft-ed by award-winning composerStephen Schwartz, who also com-posed “Wicked,”“Children of Eden”and “Pippin.” A Broadway revivalof “Godspell” is actually openingthis November, but NCTC has thechance to present it first.The show opens up to the sounds

of Schwartz’s “Tower of Babble.”“It’s basically a bunch of philoso-

phers spouting their beliefs,” saidVan Cott. “It demonstrates how itis a very dysfunctional grouping ofpeople that without community arevery self-centered.”The characters spend the rest of

the show realizing that just becausesomeone looks, talks or acts differ-ently, it doesn’t mean he or she isinferior.Van Cott is pleased that the

young cast has the opportunity tolearn how to better navigate throughtheir tough teen years through thisscript.“It’s extremely relevant with the

bullying we have in schools today.These kids are living this show intheir daily lives,” she said.“Godspell” is 14-year-old

Newington resident Ryan Turf ’ssixth production with NCTC.“I liked how in this show we were

able to come up with our own char-acters and costumes,”he said.But is there a religious sermon

going on between the lines? VanCott doesn’t think the story’s mean-ing is directed toward people of anyparticular faith.“A lotofpeoplewrite it offbecause

it’s loosely based on the Gospel ofSt.Matthew,” she said, “but regard-less of religion, the message is stillvery relevant to everybody.”“The music is wonderful ... the

play has both comedy and drama ...it’s fantastic,” said the excited VanCott.

Newington’s Planning & ZoningCommission will vote on TollBrothers’ Cedar Mountain develop-ment plan Wednesday, but have saidthey will likely approve it with condi-tions,due to legal constraints.“I’m not sure if this proposal can be

stopped,” said commissioner DavidLenares at the commission’s lastmeeting.He was the first of the com-mission to reveal his position afterChairman David Pruett asked for aconsensus on how the group’s mem-bers were going to move forward.“If you deny this proposal,”Lenares

told fellow commissioners, “you’re attheir [Toll Brothers] will.They couldcome back with an R-20 subdivision,which would be impossible to stop.”After months of public hearings,

studies on traffic and blasting,and thecautionaryfindingsoftheConnecticutEnvironmental ReviewTeam’s report,the commission and Town PlannerEd Meehan came up with a list ofrevisions and restrictions to the pro-posed plan. They’ve also come to atentative consensus that there is noother choice but to approve it withthese conditions. If they deny it, TollBrothers can appeal it in court andreturn with a conventional R-20 plan.This would limit the amount of openspace donated to the town to 11 acres,versus the 44 to be dedicated underthe open-space subdivision plan, upfor vote next week.“In the history of this commission,

what happens when we deny some-thing is the courts seem to lean on the

side of the property owner becauseof constitutional rights,” said com-missioner RobertSchatz. “I thinkthe best thingfor the town ofNewington is tograb the 44 acreswe can get.”As they went

around the tabledisclosing theirdeterminations,the commissionerswere all of a similarstance.“This is the

only method ofachieving maxi-mum open space,which was one ofour highest priori-ties in our 2020 plan,”CommissionerDominic Pane said.“It comes down to what’s best for

the town, the people, the land,” saidcommissioner Gary Turco. “Over 50

percent of thissite is going tobe dedicated toNewington.”Carol Anest

was last to speak,and made it clearto the other com-missioners thatthey shouldn’tsettle withoutdefending theproposed planchanges.“I know how

important openspace is to thistown and I don’tthink we have theneedforadditional

housing,” she said. “I’m also very con-cernedwith the traffic…clear-cuttingand blasting. I would like to see videoof peoples’ homes before and after.And I don’t want to be able to see thesubdivision from anywhere.”Meehan’s recommended revi-

sions to the plan include relocatinga stormwater basin, revising limits of

tree-cutting and grading to main-tain the existing tree buffer, theissuing of pre- and post-blastingreports, adding parking areas tothe site for public access to trails,and a design re-evaluation of oneof the lots, among many morechanges and requirements that willlimit the feared negative impactthe subdivision might have on theenvironment, the mountain and thetown of Newington.The commissioners expressed

their gratitude to the public forexhaustively providing its input onthe project and for pointing out itspotential risks.“I couldn’t applaud you more

for doing what you’ve done andexpressing your concerns,” Lenaressaid, addressing those who came toevery public hearing and pointingout the tireless efforts of the ‘SaveCedar Mountain’ advocates.“We all worked hard on this and I

think we’re going to give you an endproduct that’s in the best interest ofNewington,” Pruett said in closing.TPZ will vote on the petitions at itsmeeting Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 7p.m. in Town Hall.

The holiday season brings thejoy of gift-giving between familiesand friends, but there are familiesin Newington who don’t have themeans to join in the celebration.The Newington Department of

Human Services has offered thosewho can help spread holiday cheerthe chance to do so more than 35years — their Holiday Food, Toyand Gift Program has begun again.Last year, 402 Newington house-

holds benefited from the staff- andvolunteer-run program, which dis-tributes food and gifts to children,

adults, the elderly, people withdisabilities, along with about 70homebound residents.“These are residents who are

unemployed or underemployed,”said Ken Freidenberg, director ofHuman Services. “Some folks aresingle adults who have been unem-ployed for a long time struggling tofind jobs, people with chronic ill-nesses who are unable to work butnot eligible for disability, and seniorcitizens or people with disabilitieson fixed income.”Almost 60 volunteers help exe-

cute the food distribution Nov. 17,just in time for Thanksgiving.“We’re so appreciative of the

generosity of the community interms of helping us prepare,” saidFreidenberg. “Everyone’s strug-gling with the economy these days,but the community always comesthrough.”Human Services works with the

FoodShare program to buy turkeys,pies and vegetables to put togethera complete holiday meal for thosein need.A clothing shopping area isalso provided on the same day.The holiday gift program is

highly anticipated every year bythe both the giving and receivingparticipants. However, the down-turn of the economy has brought amore immediate need for the sup-port of the department’s SpecialNeeds Fund, which providesassistance to Newington residentsthroughout the year. Householdsfacing critical financial hardship— unable to afford basic needs likeheat, utilities, housing and medi-cal expenses — are brought reliefthrough monetary donations. Itsfood bank serves about 150 house-holds per month.Food donations will be accept-

ed weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4p.m., Oct. 31 through Nov. 16.Thanksgiving Basket DistributionDay is Nov. 17.Holiday gift donations will be

accepted weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,Dec 1 through Dec. 9. Dropoffhours are extended until 6:30 p.m.Nov. 14, Nov. 28, and Dec. 8. Giftsare distributed the week of Dec.12.If you would like to donate

generic gifts, call Karen Futoma at(860) 665-8596 to schedule a time

to drop them off to insure staff willbe present for your assistance.The ‘Sponsor a Household

Program’ is another charitableopportunity. Civic organizations,businesses and other communitygroups can purchase gifts for anynumber of households or allowyour family to purchase specificgift requests for another family intown. The donators are given abasic description of the householdand who lives there, along with anyspecial requests.“Wemake every effort to get toys

and gifts that families are lookingfor,” Friedenberg said.If you would like to donate food

or sponsor a household, contactCarol LaBrecque at (860) 665-8595 for more information.Monetary donations for both the

holiday program and Special NeedsFund are appreciated by earlyNovember so that items can bepurchased in time for distributions.Please make checks payable toNewington Department of HumanServices and mail or bring them toNewington Human Services, 131Cedar Street.

A story and photo caption onpage 15 of the Oct. 14 edition ofthe Town Crier contained incor-rection information. A recent

campaign event for NewingtonDemocratic mayoral candidateSteve Woods was attended byU.S. Rep. John Larson.

CORRECTION

To the editor:

I applaud Jan Joseph for havingthe courage to bring the incidenceof blatant misuse of the public trustout into the open. (Opinion sec-tion of the Sept. 30 issue, “Is mayorreally putting town first?”)I had heard some of this story

myself and wondered — Could amayor really get away with playingsuch games of discrimination intoday’s day and age? I am disgustedwith Newington politics.Do what’sright for Newington! Don’t takeNewington residents as fools. I amsure this is not the first time this hashappened.No matter how you lookat it, nepotism is wrong. It is notgood for society. It is not good forNewington. Our leaders are select-ed to serve the entire Newingtoncommunity, not a select few chosen

by the mayor. I want real leadersin our town. Not someone whoappears to be “concerned” to gainour votes.Mayor Lenares collected food for

the food pantry during the WaterfallFestival. While this is undoubtedlya true need, after reading the edito-rial I found it very hard to believethat helping people was his first pri-ority over trying to smile for thecamera and get our votes.Who reallyis Mayor Lenares? Before I go tothe polls on Election Day, I want toknow,don’t you? Jan Joseph called onour current leadership to deal withthis arrogant misuse of power.I hope I speak for other

Newington residents in asking,what IS being done about it?

Bruce ValadeNewington

Do what’s right for Newington

To the editor:

The municipal election inNovember will give the peopleof Newington, the opportunity toselect a new set of leaders to carrythe town forward for the next twoyears. At the top of the ballot, therace for mayor presents a choicebetween two laudable candidates.Both men have shown themselvesto be dedicated public servants.However, in choosing our townleader, Steve Woods presents as aclear choice in that role. Havingserved on the Board of Educationfor the last 12 years with Steveas a colleague, I can attest to hisoutstanding leadership skills, hisintimate knowledge of the intrica-cies of the budgetary process, andhis ability to deal with problemsand provide creative solutions. Asour mayor, Steve will bring thosesame traits to the office. Pleasejoin me in choosing Steve Woods,and the rest of the Democraticteam on Nov. 8.

Someone once said that whentimes are tough we find out exactlywhom we can count on. Recently,I experienced some challengingpersonal experiences. It didn’t sur-prise me at all that during thosetimes my phone would ring andon the other end I would hearSteve Woods saying, “I am justcalling to make sure you are OK.”I know Steve does not just

call me in a time of need but hascalled many of you, too, for thatis the kind of man Steve is. Hewas raised to put others beforehimself. Helping others is a partof his being and it is the reason heis running for mayor.Steve is kind.He is not boastful.

He doesn’t need to grab head-lines. He is a man who just goesabout doing good things for otherpeople in a quiet manner. In thepast he has taken time off fromwork to accompany members ofhis church to Appalachia, wherehe spent a week making repairsto the homes of those living in

poverty.Over the last 20 years I have

worked with Steve on townboards and commissions as hehas served on about every build-ing committee ever established, aswell as Chairperson of the Boardof Education. He is smart, spend-ing time to understand issues.He is an excellent communicatormaking sure all members have thesame information he has. No onehas a better grasp of issues thanSteve.In the last two years, three

of the four Republican TownCouncil members elected to theTown Council have resigned andmoved elsewhere. It has been verydisruptive to the business of thetown. The next Town Councilneeds stability. I believe SteveWoods can provide the sorelyneeded stability through his steadyleadership.

I want to go on record asendorsing Mike Lenares for theoffice of mayor.Mike Lenares, a native of

Newington, and a small businessowner has always represented thevalues of Newington and is themost qualified candidate for mayor.Our community recognizes

that decisions being made nowwill affect us for many years.MikeLenares, an experienced publicservant, has the wisdom andinsight to make the right decisionsas mayor. Mike understands theimportance of the Mayor’s officeand dealing congenially with thepublic. He is honest, reliable, andwilling to work the long hoursneeded for the position.From the first time Mike

To the editor:

So far we have heard two messages from theRepublican Party: “spend less, tax less, it’s that easy,”as well as “no tax increases, no cuts, spend the samenext year as we did this year.” It sounds great, just likebeing told that you’ve won the Australian Lottery …until you realize you never bought a ticket! Thesemessages are about as clear as the green slimy wateron Mill Pond when the algae is growingHow can we “spend the same next year as we did

this year,” without tax increases or cuts to services,if costs do not decrease? The needs of the peopleof Newington are increasing, the demographics arechanging and there are no guarantees that monies

will be available from the state to help meet thesedemands. With approximately 15 percent of thetown’s operating expenses coming from the state andfederal governments, committing to “no increase intaxes” appears to be basing a promise on somethingover which there is no local control.Listen to what the candidates have to say and

what promises are made. Think about the “mes-sages,” be sure that they are realistic and be sure theyare not just something the candidates think we wantto hear. Then vote!

To the editor:

One of the duties of theRegistrar of Voters office is toensure that electors in theirtown are well aware of thevoting process. In Newingtonwe take pride in knowing thatwe have a well-educated andsophisticated electorate.If a voter over -votes an

office, i.e., fills in six bubblesfor the Board of Education,that ballot is not discarded!The machine would rejectit and the tabulator tenderwould advise the voter that heover-voted a particular officeand, if he or she wishes, he orshe could get a fresh ballotand go through the voting

process again.If the voter wishes to sub-

mit the ballot as is, it wouldthen be placed in the auxiliarybin to be hand counted. Theoffice that was over-votedwould not be counted, but theremainder of the ballot wouldbe counted! No ballot is everdiscarded because it was over-voted or undervoted.Voters should not be

embarrassed about asking fora new ballot. It is your rightand responsibility to cast aballot for the candidate ofyour choice. Our poll workersreceive many hours of train-ing and are always eager toassist all voters in assuringthat their ballot is processed

properly.Every vote counts and we

wouldn’t want voters to gointo the voting booth think-ing that if they make amistake their vote would betrashed. Anyone who has anyquestions about the electionprocess can call the office ofthe Newington Registrars ofVoters at (860) 665-8516.

Myra Cohen is one of the mostinspirational women I have evermet. If you ever had the oppor-tunity to watch her in action, youwould be inspired as well.I have been aware of Myra

on the Town Council for a longtime. Way before I was electedto office, I would watch TownCouncil meetings.When complicated issues

would arise, Myra would speakwith such remarkable clarity andinsight that I began to pay closeattention to her words.She stands out because she

makes a lot of good commonsense.Myra was a Republican when I

first joined the Council. When aphysically imposing mayoral can-didate bullied her and threatenedher to go along with his politi-cal agenda or not get the partyendorsement, she then switchedpolitical affiliation.All Myra wants to do is to be

a Town Councilor. She has noother motivation in her involve-ment with town government but

to do the right thing.Myra is extremely intelligent

and is a font of Council histori-cal information. She is charmingand witty.She attends every meeting

and town function she can, eventhough she does not drive.A limi-tation on her physical mobilitydoes not deter her. She is a verytough lady.Myra thinks of the senior citi-

zens and the youth, the expensesand the revenue, the open spaceand the town development andeverything in between. She bringsa balanced and well thought outapproach to town issues.She has vision to the future.

Although we have not agreed onall issues all the time, I know Ibecame a better councilor becauseof my friendship with Myra.Myra is willing and able to

volunteer to serve Newington.Newington needs her touch ofgrace and dignity. Vote for her onTuesday, Nov. 8, 2011.

As the mother of a graduate ofthe Newington school system, Ihave always felt that our schoolsshould be of our highest concern.I was therefore delighted to learnthat David Tatem is in the run-ning for the Newington Board ofEducation in thisNovember’s elec-tion. David and I work at TrinityCollege so I have known him forsome years. In talking with Davelast week we again found com-mon ground on the importanceof schools. During our son’s yearsat first, New Meadow, then Anna

Reynolds, Martin Kellogg andfinally Newington High School,my husband and I knew how cru-cial it was for Newington to have astrong school system. In the yearssince as we became empty-nesterswe realized that the strength andreputation of Newington schoolswere a strong factor in main-taining a close community. Andnow as we look closer to retire-ment we see the value translatedto steady home prices and lowercrime rates. A community thatvalues its children will always be astrong community.Dave has a strong commit-

ment to education. As a fatherwith children in the Newingtonschools he’s seen first-hand howcrucial it is to make schools apriority. He understands the real-ity of balancing rising costs withthe needs of our kids. His back-ground in technology gives himkeen insight into the needs of 21stcentury students.I urge the citizens of Newington

to vote for Dave Tatem for Boardof Education this Nov. 8.

He’s running for a fifth term withNewington’s Board of Education,and Daniel Carson,51, hopes he canhelp tackle the toughbudget year that isexpected.“I’ve always had an

interest in the ongoingsuccess of Newingtoneducation,” Carsonsaid. “For me it washelping to get themost for every taxdollar that comesinto the school sys-tem and to make surethe end product meets the needsof the community and every stu-dent that ultimately graduates fromNewington schools.”But Carson acknowledged that

this upcoming year is going to be achallenging one for members of theschool board as well as those on theTown Council.“Clearly, I have concerns about

the revenue coming into the townbecause of the severe recession andthat will mean that all budgets willbe affected,”he said.“I know that themayor has called upon a zero percenttax increase … I feel my experienceis needed now more than ever.”Carson runs operations for John

Deere in New York City and LongIsland.He feels that his professionalexperience brings a lot to the board.“When you look at the size of

budgets, managing personnel, pro-fessional development, identifyingareas with duplication of services,purchasing methods- these are alltied into what I do in my positionas a general manager,” said Carson.“Those are transferable skill sets inbeing a productive board member.”What Carson sees as crucial this

term is balancing town services withthe needs of Newington schools,without compromising the qualityof the town’s education.“This recession is deep and is not

going away anytime soon,” he said.“I just think if education is goingto be affected some town servicescould be affected as well. I thinkthat’s the challenge of every area ofthe budget the town and Board ofEducation faces.”So what aspects of the school

system does he predict will beaffected?

“There are certainly additionalcourses we would like to have that

we may not be able toprovide for a year orso,” Carson said. “Thesamecouldbesaidwithsome of the technol-ogy upgrades we’d liketo see in the system,and the acquisition ofnew buses might haveto be postponed.”But these delays

won’t bring down thequality of Newingtonschools if it’s up toCarson.

“We clearly need to stay on topof the curriculum at all levels.We’vegot to prepare the students for the21st century marketplace and a bigpart of that includes emphasizingtechnologies to put them at theforefront coming out of Newingtonschools,” said Carson, who enjoysreaching out to kids in town.He formerly coached soccer,Little

League, and served as President of

She and her husband bothgrew up in Newington and NancyPetronio is running for a thirdterm on the Board of Educationto keep the school system at thehigh level of qualityit has been at sincethey were enrolled.“We have three

children, ages 10, 8and 4, who all attendNewington schools,”Petronio explained.“That’s why I feelvery strongly aboutbeing on the board.”She works as an

agency manager forUnited Healthcare’sMedicare pro-gram. Her responsibilities areeducation-related.“My job is to educate Medicare

recipients and brokers all aboutMedicare options,” Petronio said.Now that she has spent four

years on the board, Petronio feelsshe can be more of an asset.“I really believe that it takes at

least two years to really under-stand the workings of the school

system and now I feel like I canhave more valuable input into theprocess,” she said.Petronio has spent the last

few years serving on the board’sC u r r i c u l u mCommittee, playingan important role inanalyzing test scoresand other aspects oflearning.A couple years

back, a controversialissuewasonthe table:If parent-teacherconferences shouldbe held beginning inSeptember, insteadof December.“I felt really

strongly that there was a needthere,” said Petronio. “I helpedto develop these early Septemberoptional conferences and theyhave been in place for two yearsnow, and have been very well-received.“I really believe in the lines

being open, doing everything wecan to foster the parent-teacherrelationship.”

Her other priorities if electedagain this November includekeeping class sizes as small aspossible, incorporating a mathcurriculum into the middleschool that helps prepare stu-dents for the rigorous highschool math program, and alsoimplementing new technologyinto the schools.“We want to do everything

possible to make sure we areupdating technology even thoughit is very difficult to do in a tightbudget season,” said Petronio.

NEWINGTON — Both NewBritain and Newington werecoming into their Saturday nightmatchup feeling pretty good. TheHurricanes had just won their big-gest game of the year over Hall theweek before, and the Indians hadsnapped a 13-game losing streak

on Friday.But only New Britain walked

away feeling good Saturday night,pulling off a 20-12 victory overNewington at Alumni Field inNewington. The Hurricanes domi-nated the ground game, which wasone of the main reasons why theywere able to get the big win.Both DeV’anti Gardner and

Lamar Bowsky had huge days onthe ground for New Britain, find-ing space all over the field. Gardnerrushed for over 100 yards him-self, and combined, Bowsky andGardner ran for 193 yards.Hurricanes’ coach Tebucky Jones

was very pleased with the way hisrunning game preformed in the

win.“We didn’t want to throw the ball

too much,” he said. “We wanted tocome into the game and establishthe run.Those guys did a great job.I think the main goal was to comein and run the ball and that’s whatwe did.”Despite Gardner and Bowsky

doing most of the damage, it wasGiovanni Viven who helped sealthe win, scoring on a 13-yard rushin the fourth quarter to give NewBritain a 20-12 lead.The Hurricanes’ defense would

take it from there, shuttingNewington down on fourth downwith three minutes left in the fourthquarter to take possession.From there, the Hurricanes

would rush the ball down the fieldto kill the clock and take home thevictory.Despite the loss, Newington

coach Roy Roberts was happy withthe way his team played as a whole.“I loved our total overall effort

tonight,’ he said. “I loved the effort,our spirit is there, and our spiritwon’t be broken.”

While the spirit is there for theIndians, Roberts does see room forimprovement.“Now we just need to bring our

mental game to the table and we’ll

put together some wins,”he said.Malique Jones, who had been

fantastic the past two weeks forNew Britain, regressed in his thirdstart of the season.Jones went 0-for-4 in the first half, including aninterception on the Hurricanes’own17 yard line in the second quarter.Jones would finish the day with justone completion. The Hurricanesalso made a plethora of mistakes,something Jones wants cleaned upbefore their next game.“The biggest thing in the first

half was the defense,on two series ina row, took bad penalties that gaveNewington the ability to score theirtwo touchdowns,”he said.But it was the Indians who

would suffer from a mistake.With Newington up 12-7 in thethird and driving, a bad snap costNewington possession and preciousmomentum.The Hurricanes (3-2) took over

at the Indians’ 30 and drove all theway down the field before Jonescalled a quarterback keeper and ranthe ball into the end zone for a13-12 lead.The Indians caught a break late

in the first to help them get on theboard.With Newington (1-4) look-

ing at a fourth-and-goal from theNew Britain seven, Zachary Morriscaught a seven-yard touchdownpass which was originally deflectedfor the score.Newington would strike again

early in the second quarter, thanksto a couple of crippling New Britainpenalties. The Hurricanes stoppedNewington on a third down, forcingthe Indians to attempt a 22-yardfield goal. Christian Beaufordmissed the kick, but was struck onthe play for a personal foul, givingthe Indians a fresh set of downs.They would make them count,

when Eric Ryan blasted into theendzone for a one-yard score, givingNewington a 12-7 lead.It would be the final points the

Indians would score in the game.Roberts just wants his team to

move on.“We just need to move forward,

that’s what I told the guys,”Robertssaid. “They made more plays thanwe did tonight and we’re going tomove forward.Our effort was there,our physical nature was there andnow we need to bring our mentalgame to the table and we’ll be OK.”

NEWINGTON — Everythingseemed to be going right for Newington.The team was holding a slim 12-7 leadover New Britain, and currently had theball and were driving down the field.Then disaster struck.The Hurricanes’ defensive line

swarmed over Jon Snyder, and whilethe group was trying to force him to theground, Snyder lost the ball.A skirmish broke out, but eventu-

ally, the officials ruled that it was theHurricanes’ ball. With a sudden bangmomentum swung back in New Britain’s

favor, and the Hurricanes used thatmomentum to fuel a comeback to beatNewington on the road.Many fans were upset that the play

wasn’t blown dead, since Snyder’s for-ward momentum was stopped and thequarterback was pushed five yards back-wards before losing the ball, but Indians’coach Roy Roberts didn’t agree that thecall was controversial.“No excuses, the referees didn’t make

the call, they called what they called,”he said. “We’re going to move on. Theysaw what they saw. No excuses, we needto hold onto the ball and do a better joboffensively of not turning the ball over.”Although the fumble allowed New

Britain’s offense to turn the ball over toDeV’anti Gardner and Lamar Bowsky,Roberts doesn’t think the turnover itselfwas the biggest play of the game.“That wasn’t the turning point in the

game,”he said. “We had a chance to stopthem after the fumble, and we didn’t. Sodefensively we had to step up, and wedidn’t. Defensively it’s a total team gameand we need to bring our mental aspectof the game to the table.”While Newington lost the game, it

remained competitive in the first halfagainst a dangerous New Britain team.And although there are some schemesthe Newington players must address, thatis a very positive sign.
