The city of New Britain is apparently anexciting place to set thriller novels in. “TheWhammer Jammers” is Newington authorStephen Liskow’s second book in the lastyear with a story based in New Britain. Hedescribes it as “Chicks on wheels, dirty deals,and everything you never dared ask aboutroller derby.”Yes, roller derby. Liskow was inspired by
his daughter Jennifer, who got involved withthe sport a few years back. It began in the ’30sand is now enjoyed by over 900 leagues acrossthe globe, with a particularly large followingin Europe. New Britain does not have anyteams, but Liskow hopes his book might stirtheir initiation.“New Britain is the kind of town, if they
had roller derby they’d love it,” he said. “It’sbasically football on skates.”There used to bea roller rink in the Broad Street area, wheremany of the book’s scenes take place, but thecharacters hold their ‘bouts’ (matches) in theold Wal-Mart plaza on Farmington Avenue.“It’s a great working-class town with lots ofethnic backgrounds and great color,” he said
of the city, whose landmarks are heavily-referenced in his book.The story follows suspended Hartford
cop “Trash”Hendrix,who plays the securityguard role for the New Britain roller derbyteam.When one of the women is killed in adrive-by, it becomes his mission to discoverthe culprit and his (or her) motive.
The detective lives nearShuttle Meadow, the girlseat at the now-closedVito’s, and gang-bangersget lost in the Broad Streetneighborhood.Liskow taught English
in New Britain for 30 years,lived there for 10, and isstill a substitute teacher atthe high school. He andhis wife Barbara, an actress,now reside in nearbyNewington, along with oneofTheWhammer Jammers’roller girls.The author spends his
time writing, reading othercrime stories, going to thegym, playing guitar, usinghis Newington Library card and giving hiscats an adequate amount of attention.He andhis wife also like to eat at restaurants on theBerlin Turnpike; a favorite is Joey Garlic’s.“I like that Newington has that small-town
feel but it’s still close to major highways andpeople are friendly,”Liskow said.He’s looking to set up some book signings
and readings at the arealibraries, but is launchingthe book into the wild atthe place where he fre-quently goes to watchroller derby, the CT SportsCenter in Woodbridge.Liskow spent a lot of timewith the women teamswho play there, learning theins-and-outs of the sport.New Haven’s StepfordSabotage and the YankeeBrutals helped him craft anauthentic depiction of theirhobby.“The Whammer
Jammer” is currentlyavailable in paperback atamazon.com and barne-
sandnoble.com, or as an e-book fromKindle or Nook. The signing will be heldNov. 12 at the CT Sports Center, 21 S.Bradley Road,Woodbridge at 5 p.m., whenthe Yankee Brutals will play the MaineCalamity Janes.To learn more about the author, visit ste-

Newington High School’s stu-dent-athletes are running for a causeSaturday. They’re running for epi-lepsy, an illness one of them liveswith every day.Ian Bomely, 16, is a junior and
plays varsity football for NewingtonHigh School. He is leading theschool’s varsity football, soccer andfield hockey players and coaches inthe Hartford Marathon’s Run fora Cause 5K to raise money for theEpilepsyFoundationofConnecticut.The NHS Cheerleading squad isalso helping by collecting donationsfrom people in the stands at games.This year the young philanthro-
pist has dedicated his season tohis friend Keegan Harrington, wholives in Massachusetts and, like Ian,has epilepsy.But while Ian’s condition is well-
controlled with medication and hehasn’t had a seizure in over twoyears, his friend isn’t as lucky.“This past summer he had three
surgeries on his brain and it’s reallyaffected him and he isn’t able to playsports anymore like I am,” Ian said.Because of this, Ian had a decal
of Harrington’s initials — “KRH”— printed by Jeff Gambino fromImage Ink in Newington, and hestuck it to his football helmet inhis honor. The boys met at BostonChildren’s Hospital while under-going brain testing in 2009. Their
families have supported each otherever since.“Keegan’s mom and I got to be
close during that time,” said Ian’smother Barbara Bomely. “Thiscondition has affected Keegan pro-foundly…Ian asked Keegan’s momif he could dedicate his season tohim.”Ian is the representative of the
foundation’s Kids Speak Up, SpeakOut CT. He and his family trav-eled to Washington D.C. this pastMarch with the foundation’s otherrepresentatives and their families.There they learned about advocacyand spent a day on Capitol Hilltelling Congress what it’s like to livewith epilepsy.“I have met many people with
epilepsy who aren’t as fortunate as Iam,” said Ian. “Some of them sufferseizures daily because the medica-tions don’t work. I need to be theirvoice — speaking out and raisingawarenessbecausethey can’t.”To educate the
NHS studentsabout epilepsybefore Saturday,Allison Gamber,a representativeof the EpilepsyFoundation,cameto the high schoollast week to showa seizure aware-ness video andIan shared a littlebit of his story.“It’s important
for these kidswho are running to know whatthey’re supporting,” Barbara said.“When we showed the video andIan got up and spoke, the boys werein a state of shock because Ian doeslook so normal.”Besides his close friends, hardly
any of the students knew that Ian
had epilepsy.“They don’t treat me any dif-
ferently, but now people will comeup to me and say, ‘Wow, I had noidea,’” said Ian, who tries to live as
normal of a lifeas possible whilestill reaching outto others who aresuffering fromthe disease.In the sum-
mer time, heworks at a daycamp taking careof children withspecial needs, likehimself.“It is very
r e w a r d i n gbecause I knowwhat it’s like forthem,”he said.
The Hartford Marathon’sRun-For-a-Cause 5K race is thisSaturday at 8 a.m. at Bushnell Park,on Buckingham Street in Hartford.Donations and Pledges can bemadeto the NHS All-Sport BoosterClub,Newington High School, 605Willard Ave.

Teodora Markova, a seventh-grader fromMartin Kellogg Middle School, is desig-nated as an alternate for the 2012 U.S. JuniorNational Figure Skating Championships inMichigan in December.
MarkovacompetedrecentlyatNewEnglandRegional Championships in Boston at thejuvenile level — ages 14 and under.There were54 girls who participated at this level, initiallydivided into four qualifying groups.
Markova finished first and won a goldmedal in one of the groups, as well as threegold pins from the United States FiguringSkating Association. The pins recognize spe-cial achievements, such as best spins.

All of Markova’s beautiful performances atthese competitions were rewarded. She col-lected three gold, nine silver, one bronze andthree pewter medals as well as three fifth- and
one sixth-place finish.The number and skating abilities of the
participants at these competitions were oftenimpressive, especially at the 86th AnnualMiddle Atlantic Championships in NewYork City in September. There, competingagainst 84 juvenile skaters from the wholeEast Coast, Markova placed second andfifth.
Markova’s competition results this seasonwere the best compared to any other juvenileskater in New England. These achievementsand medals come as a reward for her extreme-ly hard work, dedication and love of figureskating.
Markova practices 24 hours a week atNewington Arena. She has a great coach,Serhii Vaypan, who is a model to follow forhis students with his exceptional work ethic.
The cute program that Markova skatedthis season — the dance of Zorba, the Greek— was choreographed by her long-timesynchronized and individual coach, DonnaMitchell, another great coach.
Markova will return to competition inNovember with 17 girls from her synchro-nized skating team,Team Millennium.
Markova moved to Newington when shewas 6 months old. She is a straight-A stu-dent, plays flute and piano, is a member of theschool chorus, band, and newspaper, and is inthe gifted program.

Remember your basement flood-ing after Hurricane Irene and themusky smell after you drained itout? A Newington company cantake care of that problem and manyothers immediately, 24 hours a day.Servpro of Newington/Central
Hartford is independently-ownedand operated by Wethersfield resi-dent Joseph Byrne and Wallingfordresident Lisa Jameson. Along withabout a dozen trained technicians,their cleaning and restoration ser-vices minimize the trouble propertyowners go through with water andfire damage.The fall and winter bring rain
and snow and subsequently, a lot ofSevpro’s business. It offers advice tokeep you from ending up in a badsituation, but it can also get you, orrather, your home, out of one. Pricequotes are dependent on insuranceindustry standards.“We are approaching 25 years
in this business,” said Byrne. “Butwe still have empathy for each andevery customer. It may be the first
time the person has had this experi-ence, and we help them navigatethe insurance claims process andrestore their home to its originalcondition,”“Like it Never Happened” is the
company motto.ServPro will restore your home
after fire, smoke and soot damage,and dry and restore any documents,personal property, electronics andequipment that have come closeto ruin. It offers water removal,dehumidification, mold mitigationand remediation, catastrophic stormresponse and contents claim inven-tory service.And it will move out furniture
while a devastated room is beingremodeled by a contractor, whichServpro can refer to you when itcleans up. It also cleans ceilings,walls, hard floors, drapes and blinds,carpet, upholstery, air ducts,HVAC,and perform deodorization, bio-hazard, crime scene and vandalismclean-up.Jameson remembers the storms
in August causing more emergen-cies. For weeks there was a heaviervolume of insurance claims related
to flooded houses.“It knocked out power, which
caused peoples’ sump pumps to notwork, so we used generators to pro-vide them power.We then extractedthe water and facilitated a dry-out,because a dry structure means nomicrobial growth,” she said.Jameson and Byrne may own the
company,but that doesn’t mean theydon’t get their hands dirty, everyday. They also support Newington’sLittle League and a couple of localcharities.“We respond in the middle of
the night and on holidays,” Byrnesays. “If my Thanksgiving dinneris on the table, I’m still on call. Myempathy for the customer allowsmeto putmy dinner inTupperware andmicrowave it when I get home.”Although they want your busi-
ness, they also want to keep yourproperty from any damage in thefirst place, so here’s some advicefor residents as the cold weatherapproaches:“If you have a seasonal home,
make sure it’s winterized,” saidByrne. “People go down south forthe winter and don’t maintain prop-er heat and their pipes freeze.”
“Be careful when burning can-dles, using space heaters. Someonebrought a gas grill inside to heattheir home once and it started afire,” said Jameson. “My advice is tobe diligent in checking to make sureyou have enough oil and that yourfurnace is running properly.”To prevent water damage in your
home, they advise people to makesure their icemaker lines are clampedand fixed properly and to be proac-tive in removing snow on the roof
immediately following a storm.Also,check the hoses behind your wash-ing machine to make sure they’restill elastic.When they get hard andbrittle, the rubber can pop and thenthere’s water all over your house.“An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure,”Byrne said.For the cure, call Servpro of
Newington/Central Hartford 24hours a day at (860) 667-9191.Theyare located at 11 Progress Circle,Newington.

As a woman comes in andpicks up a bag of 15 grasshop-pers to feed her son’s beardeddragon, Richard Simons and hiswife Kaye Passig pause fromplaying with their ferrets to askthe customer how her family isdoing.Simon Sez Pets, their familypet shop, has been a fixture inMarket Square since August2007, but it feels as though ithas been there for much, muchlonger. Simons and Passig greettheir customers by name andcan often guess what eachneeds upon seeing them walkinto the store.“This is a mom-and-pop kindof place,” Simons says.That it is. Their customersdon’t stop by to find the dogand cat food that they see on TVcommercials and in the grocerystore. They come for the friendlychit-chat and all-natural, holisticpet food that they can’t findanywhere else. And if they don’thave whatever obscure thingthat will satisfy your pet’s need,they will special order it for you.Also, they offer competitiveprices and free local deliveryupon request.“We love hearing everyone’s
pet stories when they come in,and I offer any advice I can givethem on whatever animal issuetheymay have,” Simons says.In addition to specialty foodfor dogs, cats, birds, and smallrodents, they also carry pet toys,fish-tank ornaments, animalhomes, greeting cards for petlovers, pethomegoods, and thistime of year, even Halloweencostumes for your favorite furryfriend. On any given day, theycarry varying eclectic animalsupplies and delightful gifts.While the pair runs the shop,its four ferrets Samson, Goliath,Corey and Zoey, run throughit ̶ hiding underneath book-cases and behind the fish tank,but stopping in their races to bepet affectionately.“They will sit by the door and
watch people walk by, hopingsomeone will come in to visit,”said Simons.The ferrets aren’t for sale, butan intricately-marked puffer fishand somecutesy-namedguineapigs are, along with other smallanimals.Upon entering the store, youmayhear the parrots in the backroom calling out to you. Theyquiet downwhen Simons offershis shoulder for them to sit on,which is quite often.“We’re part of the flock,”Simons laughs, referring to thebirds’ sense of familial bondwith him and Passig.Simon Sez Pets is a memberof the Newington Chamber ofCommerce and Simons is alsovice president of theNewingtonDowntownBusinessAssociation.He and Passig are very friend-ly with the other shopownersdowntown, and their door isalways open, a warm welcomefor people passing by to stop inand check out their wide varietyof pet products.Simon Sez Pets LLC is locat-ed at 140 Market Square inNewington and is openMondaythrough Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 4:30p.m., and is closed Sundays.They can be reached at (860)757-3847.

With a staff of only 45, it is hardto believe how much Foodsharehas grown since its inception in1982. What the public may notknow is just how much Foodsharerelies on volunteers to keep thegears in motion.In 2010, more than 2,500
volunteers donated over 38,500hours of time to opportunitiessuch as gleaning, produce sort-ing, office work and fundraising.Community members make adifference not only by contribut-ing financially to Foodshare, butalso by rolling up their sleeves atthe warehouse and in the field.Jim Okonis of Newington
is the most recent volunteer tocontribute 100 hours of serviceto Foodshare. He volunteers histime faithfully each Tuesday tosort and inspect donated pro-duce at the regional market inHartford.This perishable food then gets
distributed to the food bank’s
300 partner agencies through-out greater Hartford. Withoutthe help of volunteers, Foodsharewould never have been able todistribute 4.5 million pounds ofproduce in 2010.“Thanks to the consistent vol-
unteer efforts of so many like Jin,
we have been able to continuemeeting the need year after year,”said Gloria McAdam, presi-dent and CEO of Foodshare,“Working together, we are confi-dent that someday we will achieveour mission of ending hunger ingreater Hartford.”

To the editor:
I’m writing to endorseDemocrat Terry Borjeson forTown Council in the Nov. 8election. Being his wife, my per-spective is a unique one.Having met in 1971, I’ve known
him over the past 40 years tocombine all the qualities I want tosee in a leader. Throughout thattime he’s consistently exhibitedthe highest standard of ethics, anda drive to succeed and improvethe companies and associationshe’s worked with in his careers inState government, private indus-try and the non-profit sector.A typical example of his dedica-
tion and hard work as a volunteer:not content with being named“Big Brother of the Year” afterover 10 years of service, he wenton to create the out-reach BBAlumni group and to serve on theassociation’s Board of Directors.Our office walls at home are
covered with plaques from grate-ful associations to which he’scontributed as board member,executive director, commissioner,
various standards committees, andservice on Connecticut’s Board forExcellence. His past connectionsthrough national association workhave garnered him allies through-out the country, where the bestpractice and procedures are sharedfrom region to region. For instance,Terry wrote the Performance-Based Standards for CommunityCorrections nationally for theAmerican Probation & ParoleAssociation, and the AmericanCorrectional Association. I’d love tosee the energy he brought to Stateand National service applied here inour hometown.He is a thorough researcher, a
keen judge of people and issues, anda team-builder. Recently retired, henow wants to volunteer his energyand creativity to work for the pros-perity of our community. He’s acommon-sense bargain our towncan’t afford to pass up … so I askyou to vote with me on Nov. 8 forTerry Borjeson and the entire teamof Newington Democrats.

To the editor:
I noticed in last week’s TownCrier that the Republicans havea new campaign slogan: “No TaxIncrease. No Cuts. Just Hold theLine” — a promise that they canmaintain the services the townprovides without raising taxes,and one that Mayoral candidateLenares underscored at a recentfundraiser.If it were only that easy.I wonder if Mayor Lenares
thinks he can control the costs ofall the goods and services that theTown buys, or the (always rising)cost of health insurance for itsemployees; or that he can rescindthe wage increases he is obligatedby contract to give them. Canhe guarantee that the state won’tdecrease the amount of aid it givesus annually, or that it won’t try toshift some of its own costs on tothe municipalities?How, then, can he promise “no
cuts”when faced with the near cer-tainty of increased costs? Accordingto last week’s Town Crier article,
it would be by “tapping” into thetown’s “Rainy Day Fund” (aka“Unreserved, Undesignated FundBalance”) — the cornerstone of ourbalance sheet, and the reserve thatnot only supports our bond rating,but provides a necessary cushion forriding out any future catastrophicevents or drastic (temporary) short-falls in revenue. This is the fundthat already contributes $2,000,000a year to defray taxpayers’ costs,but is now budgeted to declineagain, from $12,300,499 at June 30,2011, to $10,344,000 by June 30,2012 — a benchmark minimum of10 percent of estimated 2012-2013expenditures.I strongly support the goal
of stabilizing the tax burden onNewington’s property owners, but Icannot accept Mayor Lenares’ will-ingness to put the town’s solvencyat risk by taking such an importantreserve as hostage to his campaignpromises.

At a recent fundraiser inNewington,Steve Woods,candidatefor mayor, joined by U.S Sen. JohnLarson, told his supporters that hehas been spending his afternoonsand weekends knocking on doorswith his team, meeting the townresidents and discussing his posi-tions, according to a press release byNewington democrats.
Not surprisingly, the topic thatcomes up most often is the townbudget. Mike Lenares recently sug-gested that we use some of thetown’s rainy day fund to cover edu-cation expenses. In contrast to hisopponent, Woods has stated overand over again that “trying to bal-ance a budget by taking money fromthe town reserveis just not goodaccounting prac-tice,” the releasesaid.
Yes, the towndoes have a “rainy day fund” and,in fact, the Town Council does relyon using a small portion of thisfund every year to help lessen theburden of the taxpayers. However,Woods says, that to guarantee no
tax increase on the premise that wecan offset spending needs by using
additional fundsfrom our savingsaccount is themost irrespon-sible thing he hasever heard.
“Our town government hasworked hard to be fiscally conserva-tive and to maintain a substantialreserve account for the purpose ofprotecting our town in the event ofa sudden catastrophe,” Woods said,
according to the release. “I couldnever support the reduction of thetown’s savings account to balancethe budget.”

ANewington High School graduate of theclass of 1986, Jane Ancona Siegel, 42, is run-ning for the Board of Education for the firsttime in the Nov. 8 election.“My three brothers and I are
the first in our family to pursuehigher education. We’re fromItalian immigrants,” said Siegel.“I am a product of Newingtonschools. I love this town. I can’timagine being anywhere else.The education is very importantto me and I’d like to volunteermy time to give back to thecommunity.”Siegel graduated magna cum
laude from the University ofConnecticut in 1989, complet-ing her undergraduate degreein three years. Then in 1992, she receivedher Juris Doctorate degree from the UConnSchool of Law.Siegel now works as an attorney, is presi-
dent and one of the founding members ofNewington’s Special Needs PTA and is also amom.Her three children are ages 5, 7 and 9.“My kids are currently in the Newington
school system and have all levels of abili-ties,” she said. “Because they have differentneeds, I can relate to most parents in townbecause chances are I share in their different
concerns.”So how does this have an
impact on what she hopes to seehappen in Newington schools?“I really would like the school
system be a little more flexiblein their approach to teaching… looking at each child as anindividual, turning away from aone-size-fits-all approach,” shesaid.This is more of a philosophy;
Siegel does not have a specificagenda if elected.“I’d like to work with the
programs we do have.We have a good schoolsystem but it’s something we can improveupon,” she said. “There’s a lot of differentavenues we can take. I’m open to sugges-tions from parents and teachers; we have tolook at all different resources to get feedback.Education is important for an individual’sgrowth and the community at large.”

NEWINGTON — Sometimesin sports you do everything right butstill don’t get the expected result.That was the story for Newington
Monday afternoon, in a 2-0 lossto Southington. The Indians domi-nated play for most of the game, butcouldn’t find the back of the net.Southington opened the scoring
with aStevenDeponte shot fromthetop of the box that just snuck insidethe post for a 1-0 Blue Knights lead.John Ricciardone would score just afew minutes later, powering a bril-liant low free kick into the back ofthe net for a 2-0 lead.That would be the end of
Southington’s dominance up front,and it would be the Blue Knights’defense that would sparkle fromthere on, highlighted by Bill Queen.Queen would be forced to make
four diving stops when all was saidand done, not including a jaw-drop-ping sprawling save that saw thegoalie dive feet-first across his creaseto keep out yet another Newingtonattempt on goal.Southington coach Dave Yanosy
wasn’t surprised by the Indians’pres-sure on Queen.“Newington hasn’t gotten a ton
of breaks this year, but they are avery good team,” Yanosy said. “Andthey realistically gave us all we canhandle.”But most of the reason
Southington could handle the pres-sure was because of Queen.“He has been phenomenal for us
all year,” Yanosy said. “He was hugefor us today.”Brunetti also acknowledged
Queen’s performance.“He did a fantastic job today,” he
said. “He stood on his head and didwhat he had to do for his team.We
just couldn’t finish.”Newington had its chances
despite being shutout, but simplycouldn’t get the ball into the backof the net.Despite not being able toscore, Brunetti was still pleased withhis team’s effort.“When we got the ball [into the
attacking third] we were able tosettle down and started playing alittle,” he said. “We found space andwe were able to get guys behind thedefense and we made the goaliemake saves.”Although the Blue Knights didn’t
have their best game, they still gotthe win. Yanosy wanted last week’svictory over Bristol Central to helpcontinue pushing Southington for-ward through a tough week.“There aren’t any breaks in the
week for us,”Yanosy said.“But for usto win two games, especially againsttwo tough teams on the road, bodeswell for us moving forward.”
For Newington, it’s just about theideology of moving forward.“I’m happy with the way we
played, we just haven’t been gettingthe result and that’s been the story ofthe season for us,”Brunetti said.

Newington midfielder John DeLeo dideverything right in a 2-0 loss to SouthingtonMonday afternoon, he just couldn’t find theback of the net.DeLeo was a field general for the Indians,
possessing the ball in midfield while creatingspace and offensive chances for his team-mates.Of Newington’s 13 shots, DeLeo was
responsible for seven of them. And nearlyevery one of them went in.DeLeo hit the post twice,both times in the
second half. The first time, his curving shotfrom just outside the box curved about threeinches too far and struck iron. The secondtime, everyone on the pitch thought he hadscored a goal. His shot from inside the boxhit the side of the post and he watched as theball rolled parallel to the goal line, but nevercross it.“He’s our best player on the field,”
Newington coach Jeff Brunetti said.“He’s thelink to our forwards from the midfield andhe’s a playmaker.”Although Newington is 0-8 on the year,
the team as a whole is showing heart. Andeven though the Indians took a tough loss toSouthington, they had the Blue Knights ontheir heels for most of the match, thanks in
large part to the play of DeLeo.And when Newington does record its first
win this season, you can bet DeLeo will have

SOUTHINGTON — The BlueKnights played what head coach SalPenta called their best performance ofthe year Tuesday night, shutting downthe rival Newington Indians 4-0 in girlssoccer.“Even though the score was 4-0 it
doesn’t reflect how even the game was. Itwas a good performance by everyone onthe field,” he saidThough the first 10minutes of the con-
test were clearly owned by Newington,Southington was lucky enough to haveits first two shots find nylon, helping itto an early lead.
“We were pretty efficient and we tookadvantage of our chances today,” Pentasaid.Highlighting a bright day offensively
for the Knights was Erica Kosienski,who netted two goals, assisted by SarahPalko and Ali Zachon.Helping Kosienski to double her goal
totals were Nicole Wershoven, whonailed a penalty kick, and Sam Bottaro,who scored on an unassisted goal.Heather DeLude was solid for the
Indians, stopping five shots.Sarah CaiseeandMeganMcLaughlin each tallied twosaves for the Blue Knights.The Blue Knights moved to to 7-3.

NEWINGTON—Onapicture-perfect afternoon, the NewingtonIndians snapped a 13-game losingstreak in dominate fashion, takingdown the East Hartford Hornets20-6.Newington dominated both sides
of the ball throughout the gameOct.7. Its defense shutout the Hornetsfor three quarters, while JonathanSnyder and Eric Ryan had their wayon offense.Snyder threw for over 200 yards
and a touchdown, while Ryanrushed for over 130 with a touch-down of his own.“Like I told the guys, be happy
but not satisfied,”Newington coachRoy Roberts said. “We’ve got a lotof games to go, but they did a
great job tonight. I’m happy for theprogram, for the school, happy foreveryone who supports Newingtonfootball, because we’re looking tobuild something new here.”Throughout the first quarter, nei-
ther team could get their offensegoing. The defenses for both teamswere able to get big stops on thirddown, ending drives consistently.Both teamsstruggled to findanykindof rhythm in the opening quarter.While the defenses set the tone in
the first quarter,Newington’s offensewas able to set it in the second. Ledby quarterback Snyder, the Indiansmarched their way downfield toopen the quarter. Snyder completedfour of his five passes on the drive,including a 13-yard touchdown passto Zach Morris to give Newingtonits first lead of the game.“Snyder isn’t going to tell anybody
when he’s hurt, but he was hurttonight and he wasn’t really able toplay his game,”Roberts said. “We’rehappy we can get him out of here ashealthy as we can get him. He gotthe win and he wasn’t going to missthis game, so I’m happy for him.”
After a 35-yard kickoff return,the Hornets were in great positionto match Newington’s touchdown.However, even though they wereable to convert on a fourth down atmidfield, East Hartford was unableto keep the drive going, and wasforced to punt for the third time ofthe half.After forcing a quick three-and-
out,EastHartfordwas given anotheropportunity on offense, but onceagain Newington’s defense made thestop and forced another punt.Withthe ball back, Snyder frantically ledthe Indians downfield as they racedto beat the clock, but a long fieldgoal attempt came up short.Still,Newington had the halftime
lead at 7-0.“I felt pretty good about our
defense tonight, but they have toplay a full game,”Roberts said. “Wehad some lapses toward the end,but tonight they definitely did agreat job.”The Hornets came out of half-
time strong,amounting their biggestdrive of the game, but two keyplays by Newington defensive back
Christian Zotti prevented themfrom scoring.“I can’t be more proud of guys
like Zotti,” Roberts said. “He’s notthe biggest guy on the field but hisheart’s tremendous, and today hereally stepped up.”The two stops seemed to spark
Newington, and on the first playof its drive, Ryan broke free for a65-yard run to bring the ball tojust shy of the goal line. The nextplay was run into the end zone byRyan Esposito, and with the extrapoint, Newington brought its leadup to 14-0.“Eric Ryan is slowly coming
along as one of the best runningbacks you’re going to see. He isslowly becoming a featured part ofour offense as we’re constantly look-ing to get better,”Roberts said.With the score at 14-0 entering
the fourth quarter, the teams beganexchanging interceptions. Zottimade an impressive catch, picking-off Griffin Michalek’s pass, but thenSnyder gave it right back to theHornets when his pass was inter-cepted by StephaneThompson.
East Hartford seemed to stabilizeits offense after the interceptions,buta huge fumble resulted in anotherHornets turnover.Back on offense, the Indians
wasted no time in picking upanother touchdown.A 37-yard passfrom Snyder got them deep in thered zone, setting up Ryan for aseven-yard run into the end zone.The point after was missed, butNewington had the 20-0 lead.Late in the fourth, a late hit pen-
alty brought East Hartford into thered zone for the first time all game.AfterasackbyNewington,Michalekheaved the ball 22 yards into the endzone where Josh Delvalle hauledit in, ending Newington’s bid at ashutout.The point after was blocked,with
the lead cut to 20-6.While the shutout was over,
Newington was in no danger oflosing its 14th straight game. Timewas not on East Hartford’s side,however, and as the seconds ran out,Newington was able to pick up notonly its first win of the season, butits first win in over a year.
