The Hartford Liederkranz,otherwise known as theGerman-American Club, cele-brated its 100thAnniversary inApril and itsnew presidentwants the club’sfuture to be amore benevo-lent one.That’s why

last weekendat its annualHarvest Dancem e m b e r sbrought canned goods and non-perishable foods along with themto give to the Newington FoodBank.“The past president didn’t seem

to think on a community level.Its kind of been something new

for our members,” said PresidentJay Krause. “The club has beenpart of the Newington commu-nity since 1970 and I don’t thinkthere has been much interactionbetween the community and the

club. ... We’rehere to helpeach other.”The club also

formed a newgroup called“The HappyWa n d e r e r s ”who get togeth-er to walkfor differentcauses. Mostrecently, they

participated in the AmericanCancer Society’s “Making Stridesagainst Breast Cancer” walk inOctober.“We’re just trying to interact

more with the community sopeople can find out about us,”

said Krause, encouraging theclub’s growth. Like other inter-national clubs in the area, itsmembership is dwindling due tothe fact that older generationsmake up the majority.“People that do enjoy this

German or Austrian culture arewelcome,” he continued. “OlderGerman bands come, you canhave a few drinks, have a meal,it’s a safe place to come and havea good time.”

HartfordLiederkranz seeks togrowby reachingout to the community

Stew Leonard’s once againcame to the aid of hundreds offamilies struggling to afford atraditional Thanksgiving dinner.For the past 32 years, the “farm-fresh” retailer has given awayturkeys to community organiza-tions for distribution to peoplein need.Their three Connecticut loca-

tions and Yonkers, N.Y., storeoffered up a total of 1,929 birdsthis year to more than 100churches, civic groups, elderlyhousing complexes, senior nutri-tion programs and schools. TheNewington store in particulargave away 315 turkeys to 23area organizations in Newington,New Britain,Hartford, Plainville,Meriden,Cromwell,Wethersfieldand beyond.The store distributed them at

its “Turkey Brigade” event lastweek. Nine volunteers helpedthe thankful group representa-tives load the turkeys into theirvehicles.One of the volunteers was

Jamie DiStefano, the store’s meatdepartment manager.“We think we have it tough

but there are always less fortu-nate people out there,”DiStefanosaid. “Stew Leonard’s is alwayswilling to help, especially aroundthe holidays. Everybody knowsthis time of year being with fam-ily is extra important.”Each organization receives a

certain amount, depending on thesize of the populations it helpsfeed. The town of Newingtonreceived 25 turkeys while towngroups The House of Breadreceived 10 and the Church ofSt. Mary received five.“We have an organization at

St. Mary’s called St. Vincent De

Paul and they have parishionersthat receive the Thanksgivingbaskets that include anything tomake a Thanksgiving dinner,”said Amy Lasek, spokespersonfrom the Church of Saint Mary.“There are always people in needand we just want to make the

holidays better for them.”The only requirement for those

who applied was that they had tobe a non-profitorganization.In New

Britain, theRock Cats,St. JamesM i s s i o n a r yB a p t i s tChurch and St.George GreekO r t h o d o xChurch allreceived birds.“Stew Leonard’s is very

involved with the community,”said Donation Manager LorenaJackson. “We try to accommo-date everyone.”Especially this year, as the

price of food has seen a sig-nificant increase. However, whatmany people didn’t know the cost

went up untilrecently whenthey went tothe store topurchase theirThanksgivingturkey.“It ’s the

market ingeneral,” saidD i S t e f a n o .“Pork, beefchicken [went

up in cost] because of whatit costs to feed and raise theanimal,”Distefano said the price of tur-

keys has increased by 22 percentthis year.

A landmark dry-cleaningbusiness in Market Square isextending its reach beyond the

laundry room and into the fash-ion industry. Premier Cleanershas been located at 25 MarketSquare since 1967, when ownerPam Farina’s grandfather movedto town from Wethersfield. Lastweekend, Farina and co-ownerKaren Parete opened The PremierConsignment Boutique, their newventure.“We used to rent out the front

of our store to a formal-wear store,

then they moved to the BerlinTurnpike so the store front hasbeen open for a number of years,”explained Farina of the choice toopen a boutique. “I considereddoing a craft store or scrap-book-ing but this economy isn’t toogreat right now, so I thought whatif we could combine things …”Consignment stores normally

accept clothing from people andgive them back a percentage ofwhat their items sell for. Since themajority of consignment clothingis already worn, Premier’s dry-cleaning expertise comes in handy.During last weekend’s open house,the items for sale were mostlydonated by the owners’ family andfriends, among others.“We live in Wallingford and

there was a lady holding a tag salewho had an online business. A lotof things she acquired had gottenwet and she was going to throwthem away so we said, we’ll takeit,” laughed Farina.Besides the men’s, children’s and

women’s clothing, Premier alsooffers a wide collection of home

goods, toys, books, accessories,along with costume and sterlingsilver jewelry. Italso has a holi-day section.Because there

is still so muchme rchand i s eafter the ini-tial donations,Premier will notyet be acceptingcons ignmentfrom the public.Farina and

Parete also re-decorated to celebrate their newbusiness. They put in a new carpetand painted, added a pretty couch

and a cute table. They also drewfrom their crafty natures to restore

old shutters andfurniture for theshop floor.Prices are

reasonable andthere are a vari-ety of brandnames to choosefrom. Pick up aboy’s sweater setfor $15, a newpair of socks for$1, a scarf for$2, jeans for $8

to $10, a child’s party dress for $12.They even have purses. Or for theguys, leather jackets.

Did you know that every year,approximately 48 million peoplesuffer from food-borne illness dur-ing the holiday season? Accordingto the Connecticut Departmentof Public Health, holiday buffets,party trays or even a poorly storedturkey can be the culprit of disease.While food is an important partof families and friends comingtogether, the Central ConnecticutHealth District is urging you tokeep your loved ones safe throughsafe food handling practices.Preventing food-borne illness

can be as simple as followingfour basic steps: clean, separate,cook, and chill. The first steprefers to hygiene; cleanliness isextremely important in preventingfood-borne illness. All surfaces,cutting boards, utensils, and dish-es should be washed often withhot, soapy water. Personal cleanli-ness is also a must for food safety.Hands should be washed for atleast 20 seconds in hot, soapywater before, during, and afterfood preparation. This is espe-cially important after preparingmeat, poultry, eggs, or seafood,and after using the bathroom orchanging diapers, and after han-dling pets.The second step in preparing

a safe holiday meal is to separatefoods and utensils.Different cleanplates, pans, boards, and utensilsshould be used for raw and cookedmeats. It is preferable to use sepa-rate cutting boards and utensilsfor produce and meat, poultry,and seafood products. Cookedfoods should never be placed onan unwashed plate that previ-ously held raw meat, poultry, eggs,or seafood. Bacteria, parasites,and other germs can contami-nate hands, cutting boards, plates,and utensils, and can be trans-ferred easily to any surface that istouched.Of course, adequate cooking is

necessary to avoid food poisoning.Many families serve a traditionalturkey or poultrymeal,whilemanyfamilies opt for less traditionalmeats, such as ham, pork, beef,and wild game. Roasting is therecommended method for cook-ing most meats. To keep themtender and moist, slow roastingon a rack in a shallow pan at a

moderate temperature of 325 0F. is preferred, but the USDAdoes not recommend cooking ata lower temperature. When foodsare cooked at lower temperatures,they may not get warm enoughto get out of the danger zone(between 400 and 1400 F.), sobacteria may multiply rapidly andare not killed. Use a food ther-mometer to be sure the meatis sufficiently cooked; generally,lean beef should be cooked to aninternal temperature of 1450 F.,pork to between 1600 and 1700F., fully cooked ham reheated to1400 F. while uncooked hamsneed to reach 1600 F. to killbacteria. Turkey and poultryneed to be cooked to an internaltemperature of 1800 F. Alwayskeep in mind that boned androlled meats require more cook-ing time per pound than bone-inmeats, since it takes longer forthe heat to penetrate throughsolid meat.If the meat is frozen, remember

to thaw it in the refrigerator orsubmerge it in a deep sink of coldwater (still in its original wrapper),changing the water every 30 min-utes to keep it cold.This will keepthe meat out of the danger zone.Whether preparing or servingfood, an important rule to followis keep hot foods hot (over 1400F) and cold foods cold (below400 F). If the meal will be servedbuffet style, use chafing dishes,slow cookers, and warming traysto keep food warm, and place cold

foods in serving pieces that aresurrounded by ice.Also, pay atten-tion to the time; foods should notsit at room temperature for morethan 2 hours. Throw out any foodthat remains at room temperaturefor longer periods of time.Once the meal has been safely

prepared and served, observingthe rules for cleanliness, separa-tion, and cooking, the final stepin ensuring food safety is to chill.During the food preparation pro-cess, fresh produce needs to berefrigerated within two hours ofpeeling or cutting.When the mealis over, be sure to wrap and storethe left-over food in the refrig-erator right away. Divide cookedfoods into shallow containers tostore in order to encourage rapid,even cooling. When it’s time toeat those leftovers, keep in mindthat stuffing and gravy can berefrigerated safely for two daysand cooked turkey and vegetablescan be stored in the refrigeratorfor four days (or frozen for stor-age up to four to six months).Always remember to reheat meatto 1650 F. If food is not refriger-ated within the safe time limits,it should be discarded. When indoubt, throw it out!By employing safe food han-

dling practices, families andfriends can enjoy the holidaystogether without being con-cerned about food-borne illness.The Central Connecticut HealthDistrict wishes everyone a safeand healthy holiday. Bon appetit!

More than 420 Newington fami-lies will have pretty packages to putunder their Christmas trees this yearthanks to fellow residents sharingthe holiday spirit through the policedepartment’s eighth annual Stuff-a-

Cruiser event.Come Saturday, Nov. 26, out-

side the Wal-Mart on the BerlinTurnpike,Christmasmusicwill blastand kidswill fill police cruisers to thebrim with gifts. Miss Connecticut2011 Morgan Amarone — as wellas Santa — will be there helpingout.

Retired Community ServicesOfficer John DiNardi began theevent on a much smaller scale about10 years ago. Now Detective WillJordan organizes the day, makingit a bigger, better occasion eachyear. DiNardi will still make anappearance to hand out candy canes,however.He’ll be the one in the jollyred suit.Last year, 3,735 food and gift

items were collected along with$3,600 in cash and gift cards — allin a single eight-hour period.So here’s the drill: folks who walk

up to the store arehanded a flierwithsome suggested gift items needed.Then they can go in and come outwith gifts that another family intown will really appreciate.“Some people go above and

beyond and get a mountain bike,other people a $5 Nerf ball,” saidJordan. “All cash donations, foodand toys go towards Newingtonfamilies experiencing financial hard-ship. Come Christmas morningthose kids are able to open theirgifts and the people who donated

can sit back and take a moment tothink about how they helped. It’sreally a special feeling.”After the drive,all items are trans-

ported to Town Hall in a box truckand organized in the auditorium.Then people come in with shoppingcarriages and select items pertinentto their families to bring home andwrap on their own.“It’s Newington helping

Newington,” Jordan said. “It’s reallythe town stepping up and helpingits fellow residents.”Many community groups have

lent their support. The PublicMarket is donating a six-foot longsub sandwich Saturday as they doevery year to feed the 40-plus volun-teers,mostly off-duty police officers.The Fire Department is bringingout its “command post”RV, supply-ing food and coffee.Those who have driven down

Cedar Street or the Berlin Turnpikesometime in the past week prob-ably have noticed at least one ofthe three billboards advertising theevent, sponsored by local businesses.

Students and staff at the high schoolhave also been preparing to make ahefty contribution of toys they col-lected competition-style before theweekend, seeing who can donatethe most.And Walmart lent its storefront

to the Police Department, who isexpecting thousands of visitors andshoppers. But donation items don’thave to be purchased there. You canbring in new, unwrapped toys fromanywhere.“One family gears up all year long

for this,” said Jordan. “Every singleyear, they drive a pick-up truck andcar down and drop off anywherebetween eight to 12 mountain bikesand helmets, a truckload of food,plus toys.It’s overwhelming.They’venever missed a year.”Kids like to pick out gifts in the

store with their parents because theyget to put them in — or even ontop of — the police car themselvesafterwards.“It’s nice knowing that some

other child’s Christmas is a littlebrighter,” said Jordan.

To the editor:

When a newspaper does some-thing truly above average thereis little doubt that it should beacknowledged and recognized forits efforts.The photo of Adeline Poglitsch

and the caption was a poignantmoment in time and the photog-rapher and the caption editor didsomething really marvelous; theyallowed the local world to glimpsewhat dedication and respect forour democracy is all about.Voting in local, state and feder-

al elections is something we oftenforget or don’t take seriously, but itis often inspiring to observe goodpeople like 96-year-old Adelinewho do take the right to vote asseriously as they do.Examples of valiant and decent

behavior surround us if we justcare to look, and kudos to thephotographer and the captioneditor who captured the moment,and in doing so, captured theessence of the democratic spirit inaction. Our thanks to the TownCrier.

To the editor:

A heartfelt thanks goes out toall residents and neighbors who,over the past months, have showntheir support for protecting CedarMountain from development.Whether you attended the

numerous public hearings, wroteletters to the newspapers, voicedyour concerns to candidates dur-ing the recent election or simplysupport the idea of open space,you have made a difference inwhat has been accomplished sofar.The recent decision to purchase

the 28-acre Marcap propertyacross from HealthTrax (formerlyknown as the Marcap property) atthe top of Cedar Street is a reflec-tion of your perseverance andwhat the volume of a collectivevoice can do. You should be proudof what progress we as a com-munity are making toward theconservation of what little openspace there is left in our town.

As many of you know,Newington is significantly over-developed in comparison with allneighboring towns. Not only doespreserving Cedar Mountain pro-tect open space, it protects ourtown from strains on public ser-vices, increased traffic congestionon Route 175, disruption to wild-life, and it respects the rights ofresidents in established neighbor-hoods adjacent to the mountainWhile the Marcap purchase

represents a significant step in theright direction, there is still morework to do.The Save Cedar Mountain

group intends to vigilantly moni-tor activity regarding the otherlarge parcel of land on CedarMountain (currently known asthe “Balf Property”) which is slat-ed for a 62-house subdivision.For those who may be unsure as

to where this property is located,it can be visualized in this way:Stand on Connecticut Avenuefacing the mountain and draw

a vertical line at the lookout.Everything to the left of that linerepresents the Balf Property witha few minor exceptions.Many have said that strength

in numbers is what influencesdecisions made by our town gov-ernment. This could not be madeany clearer than by the numberof residents who have come out,and will continue to come out, inwords and actions for the cause tosave Cedar Mountain.Again, please accept our sincere

thanks for supporting the pres-ervation of this natural resourceand what we believe is one ofthe last significant pieces of openspace in Newington. If you wouldlike more information please feelfree to email us at: [email protected] or visitour Facebook group Save CedarMountain.

To the editor:

A lot of people are com-plaining to each other abouttheir situation during the GreatHalloween Power Outage ’11.Often the situation arises inwhich one person would say:“You can’t talk, because I had itso much worse.”But who is to saywho had it worse than someoneelse? I am. Below, you will finda point system to tally up yoursuffering during the storm andensuing cleanup efforts. Fairlyand honestly assess your situa-tion, and total up your points.Utility losses: 20 points — heat 15pts — hot waterElectricity: 10 points — cooktop 5 points — oven, cable,

InternetHouse guests: 2 points — adult 3 points — pet 4 points — child under

12Miscellaneous: Property Damage — 1

point per $20 damage up toinsurance deductible, 1 point per$100 damage thereafter Tree cleanup (done your-

self and with help) — 2 pointsper man-hour of work (if youhad to hire someone, count thesepoints under property damage) Spoiled food — 1 point

per $5 lost food (lost doesn’tmean you ate it real fast) Damage to appliances due

to surge of returning power — 1point per $20 damage Homelessness as a result

of storm damage — 1,000 pts. You work for CL&P — 50

pointsTotaling your points: Utility losses and house

guests are totaled on a PERDAY basis. (If you did not haveheat, electricity, hot water, acooktop, oven, cable or inter-net for four days, that wouldbe 20+15+15+10+5+5+5= 75x 4(days) = 300 total pointsfor utility losses. Same goes forhouse guests.) Miscellaneous are totaled

once only. Special Generator totaling:

If you had a generator runningany of your utilities, divide those

utility points by two. (e.g. Yourgenerator ran your electricity forthe day, but not your heat or hotwater that one day would be 7.5points for electric, 20 points forheat, 15 points for hot water.) If you lost all your utili-

ties and, as a result, stayed withsomeone else, you can eithercount your utility losses ORcount everyone else at the placeyou stayed as a house guest. Youcan’t double dip for each day. Special considerations:

Where appropriate, you mayadd or subtract points if youfeel like there was a special cir-cumstance. For example, if youhad two adult house guests, butthey are your best friends andyou had a great time and wishthey could’ve stayed longer, takeonly one or zero points per per-son per day. However, if yourinternet was out when you weregoing to Skype with your hus-band in Afghanistan for the firsttime in three months before hisnext mission, you can (at least)double your internet loss pointsfor that day.Without special consider-

ations, I earned 60 points forutility losses, 32 points for houseguests, and 8 points for limbcleaning. As special consider-ations, I’m going to add 3 pointsfor one day of cable loss becausewe had ordered the special col-lege football package and hadinvited people over for the gameand cooked special food forthem right before we lost thecable. I’m going to subtract 50points from the total because Igot out of work for the week andI got to spend lots of time anddo fun things with my beauti-ful wife and soon to be releasedbaby. Total points: 53Future conversations about

the storm will probably go likethis: “I had a 437 point storm!”“Oh yeah? I had a 640 point

storm!”“Wow. I guess we don’t have

to talk about this at all any morethen.”How many points did you

suffer?

James Brasile,Newington

Power outage pointsTo the editor:

For those of us without powerfor several days (or even a few),Newington’s Emergency Shelterat the high school was a bless-ing. The planning, organizationand execution of a very neces-sary operation for our town was

a shining example of a positivetown government at work. Thefriendly and concerned attitudeand helpfulness of all those whoworked to ensure that we werewell taken care of speaks volumesof how the town came togetherduring the “dark days” (no punintended).

Thank you, Newington; we areproud to be residents of this finetown where we have lived for 47years.

Shirley and Bob Gerrol,Newington

Emergency shelter a blessing

To the editor:

I’d like to take this opportunityto thank everyone who came outand voted on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Itis commendable that with all theother issues that many of us faced,the voter turnout was still in the30th percentile.All of us volunteer to help keep

Newington the special town that itis and we appreciate your support.

I would personally like to thankCarol Anest and the DemocraticTown Committee as well as all ofmy running mates.I have been a part of town poli-

tics for 15 years and can honestlysay that this was one of the mostcohesive groups I have had thepleasure to be involved with. Thecandidates knocked on a recordnumber of doors and met manywonderful people.

We were energized by our mes-sage and the leadership of SteveWoods. I am once again lookingforward to serving on the Boardof Education helping to keepNewington’s student’s on a pathto a bright future.Thank you again to everyone

who supported me.

Pam Raynock,Newington

To the editor:

When this letter is printed theelection results will be in and wewill be seeing some old familiarfaces and some new ones.Although the election is over,

the “job” has just begun. Thenew Council and the Board ofEducation will need to worktogether for the betterment of

the town. Disagreements willoccur, as well they should. Itindicates creative thought, whichshould open up dialogue lead-ing ultimately and hopefully toconsensus.We would like to say

“Welcome” or “Welcome back”to the winners, and “Thank youfor your service” or “Thank youfor even considering to run for

public office” to those who lost.Let us go forward not as

Democrats, Republicans orIndependents, but as residents ofNewington working together tomaintain our Newington.

Rose Lyons and Mady Kenny,Newington

Let us go forward as residents



The Blizzards, a U-14 travelsoccer team out of the SoccerClub of Newington, just won theCT State Cup Finals. They wereco-champions with the SimsburySensation after playing to a drawin the title game.But their coaches say the real

success is in the family they havecreated over the last five years.They share a bond that may bemore of a marvel than their longhistory of wins.More than half the girls have

been together since they were 9years old, when the U-9 Blizzardswere developed. Together, theyhave sharpened both their soccerskills and their characters to readythemselves for high school nextyear.“They thrive at what they do

and really get along really welltogether,” said Ray Gagnon, theteam’s head coach. “The coacheshave come from the high schooland commented on how well theyplay together but yet how muchfun they’re having at what theydo.”This strength of character

can be seen in the girls’ senseof sportsmanship. This fall sea-son, their record was 16-0-4. Theytied Simsbury three times overthe course of the fall, ending theirlast game all square at the end oftwo overtimes. But they bear no

bitterness over the co-championdesignation.“I think they’re honored to share

the title,” saidKim Luiz, oneof the team’sassistant coach-es. “Simsbury’s avery, very strongclub and tobeupthere with themin that title isquite an honor.They’re thrilledwith theiraccomplishmentand proud ofthemselves.”The Blizzards

were also NorthCentral League champions lastyear and are looking forward totaking the high school by storm.But it’s not all about soccer.Their

coaches emphasize the importanceof team-building, which may bethe key to their talent as players.

After a game ona hot day, it iscommon for thegirls to enjoytime in the poolat one of theirfamilies’ homes.They alsoattend collegegames togetherto gain someinsight fromtheir elders andeven partake ona team camp-ing trip everysummer.

And when it is time for soccer,nothing gets in their way.“Practice almost never gets can-

celed,” said Luiz. “If the fields are

closed due to damage from rainyweather, coach Ray works hard tofind an alternate location.Whetherit be at a church that shares its openarea facilities with us or a blacktoparea in town, practice must goon. We are committed to beingtogether even when faced withchallenges from Mother Nature.”Just as their players are con-

stantly learning, the coaches arealso receptive to training fromexperts in the field, such as DaveClark, the head women’s soccercoach at Quinnipiac University.The team has also worked closelywith Everson Soccer Academy toexpand upon its skills.“You always want to make sure

they have a love of the game,”said Gagnon. “There may be otherteams out there that have moretalent but they don’t have moreheart.”

Blizzards create perfect stormU-14 girls clubcaps season withstate championship

On their path to a state championship, the Blizzards defeated Bethel in a semifinal match in a snowstorm at Clem Lemire field in Newington Oct. 29.

“You always want tomake sure they havea love of the game.There may be otherteams out there thathave more talentbut they don’t havemore heart.”RAY GAGNONBlizzards head coach
