There are many adults who
can't read. It may surprise many to
realize that fact. But Literacy Volunteers of Central Connecticut are
cutting down on that number.

fascinating account of this exciting
program on page 2.
Doctor's home
Most times, after one becomes
a doctor, he or she sets up practice
in another town, or state. But Dr.
Babisrz is different. The Southington native came back home and is
practicing in his home town. His
story appears on page 3.
Connection
Oreg Brezicki's Southington
Connection details this week the
history of Planstville Congregational Church. It wasn't easy, but
church members many years ago
petitioned for a church in their
town. How they got it makes for a
fascinating story on page 8.

PZC & Loper
Anyone who has driven up or
down Loper St. can attest to the
fact it needs attention. It needs to
be widened along with much more
work. The Planning and Zoning
Commission agrees and approved a
plan to renovate the street. The
Town Council had earlier earmarked Loper as one of the "worst"
roads in town. Something will be
done about it, as reported by
reporter Mike Chaiken on page 16.

Code work rankles Council
by Mlke Chaiken
staff writer
Rankled about the code work for the
Junior high schools, the Town Council has
appointed liaisons to the Junior High
School Building Committee to keep themselves reformed on the project.
At the July 27 Council meeting.
Chairman Andrew Meade asked Councilmen Robert Carbons and William Welch
to act as council liaisons to the Code
Update Committee. Meade said the liaisons were needed to answer the many
questions the Council had at the meeting
and any that should arise in the future.
Meade said, "This way we can kind of
try to stay ahead of this, because everything is going in move so fast we might not
be able to get someone here to give us an
explanation."
Construction must be performed on
the Junior high schools so they can meet
fire, safety and handicapped codes.
Among the questions asked about the
code work centered on a request for an
appropriation of $50,000 from the
committee to pay for architectural fees.
Councilman James Wallace asked.
"That $50,000 for the Junior High architectural fees-- have they done $50,000
worth of work?"

Town Manager John Welchsel said.
"No, this will allow them to continue to
develop the plans.., toward construction
plans. They have done some work already- they indicate that within the next
two months, that money would already b.e
spent."
Councilman Welch asked if there
w•uld be a savings on the architectural
work because-Kennedy Junior High
School and DePaola Junior High School
were identical building at different locations.
"I'd kind of like to know- we were told
there would be a savings realized on
architectural fees and in plans.., because
these were the same. One and a half
million-- there's not much savings in
there I don't think. I think they've gone the
whole hog."
Councilman Nicholas DePaola asked
if the town could make one set of plans for
one Junior high school and modify it
slightly for the other at minimal cost
"(The architect) draws one set for Kennedy
for then you go to DePaolo. It's basically
the same set of plans. Any modi•cations
in the plans which result in a change
order, then you give the architect five
percent to draw up that extra design."
Councilman Welch was also concerned about the inclusion of a central
storage area on the plans. "I don't believe
a central storage area is among your
handicapped, fire and safety codes. Quite
honesfly• I'm noLinclined- we have not
told these peoptd that they should construct this central storage area, and I
don't think they have a•y business saying
that they are going to construct a central
storage addition."
Councilman Carbone expressed discontent with the myriad of mandates from
state and federal authorities which have
for•ed the town to do the code update.
among other things. "I think what's Incredible about the whole school set up is
what the state is marketing, the Feds
mandate... I don't know ff we need anybody at Beecher St•et school. They (the
state and federal people) can Just tell us
what we have to do and we can do it. We
can save an awful lot of money up there If
they'dJust tell us what to do and we could
implement everything we have to do...
"It sounds foolish, it sounds llke I
don't Imow wbat I'm talking a•ou• but
really •t's getting to that stage- we don't
need anybody."
"Imagine what it's like not being able
to read a warning label," said
Southington's Brenda Coston, a tutor
with Literacy Volunteers of South Central
Connecticut (LVSCC). There might as well
be no label on the container, she said.
Most people probably take reading
for'granted, Coston said. Yet, for those
who are flllterate, it is difficult to explain
to the literate the frustration of being
unable to read.
"Unless youX'e been there, you can't
imagine what it is," said Richie, a 44 year
old Southington man who has an eighth
grade education and the classic symptoms of dyslexia, an impairment of the
ability to read due to a brain defect.
"It's awful hard for people to realize,"
Richie said. "I'm a mechanic. I don't read
directions. I look at then•..*

before they threwme out ofschool," Richie
said.

you passed." he said.
Richie's mother said "From J•he third
grade in school, I begged every teacher to
teach him how to read and I got nowhere."
"It's the people who are past school
age and who have been working 20 years
now (who are unable to read)." Richie said.
"There's got to be people I•e been to
school with."
"They're starting to get the kids now,"
he said. "There's been a need for a very
long time."
"My boy has had help from high
school kids." he said.
Richle said he heard of Literacy Volunteers when his father caned him from
Florida to tell hlm of a television program
in which students from the literacy program were talking ofhow they had learned
to read.
"If my father hadn't called me, I never
would have got involved," he said.
Richie said only after his father had
suffered a stroke could he understand the
difficulties Richie had with reading since
childhood.
About four to five months after Richie
caned LVSCC, P.l•yllis Krom, his tutor.
came to visit.
Kro'm said 'Literacy Volunteers"
"didn't have anyone available" to teach
Richie unUl then. "they need more volunteers."
Wv-hen I first came, Richie couldn't
sound out new words. Now he can," Krom
said. "He can read an entire story now."
"It's making a difference now. I can
take tlme to read things." Richie said. "I
have to give Phyllis and my family a lot of
credit," Richle said.
"I think Rtehie is doing very well,"
Krom said. "It's a lot of motivation on his
part."
Richie said reading is one thing he
has "fought out" with his children. He said
he has told his boys "I can't read the book
to yoi•. but you're going to learn how to
read it."
"I'm happy as hell my (eldest) son is
on the honor roll." Richle said. "He's been
very fortunate with his reading. My o•er
boy is coming along fine. he's getting help
(with his reading)."
The first step in the fight against
illiteracy is admitting that you have the
problem, student Richie said. "It's like an
alcoholic. You have to admit it before
anything can be done."
"It's something they•,,e got to set in
their own heads." he said.
Richie said he thinks the Literacy
Volunteers program is "excellent" and the
teachers are "fantasUc."
"I hope togo further with it, I'm sure."
Richle said. "It opens new doors."
Richie said he has endured many
comments from people who don't know or
understand his reading problem. It is
because•of those people that I•chie was
unwilling to have his last name printed in
this article.
People have caned him names such
as idiot and retarded. "It's like saying
you're a whore," Richle said. "I'his is what
it feels like."
"They put you in a lower class. You're
not fit to be beside them," he said. "People
need to be roore helpful."
Krom said she became involved with
Literacy Volunteers about two years ago.
She had been teaching at North Center
and Plantsville elementary schools at the
time.
She realized that adult illiteracy was
a problem in Southington when she heard
that a student's mother couldn't read,
Krom said.
Krom said working with Literacy
Volunteers is "something that anyone will
feel good about "
"I wish others would get involved, on
both si•es," Krom said.
Literacy Volunteers requires you to
do at least two hours of tutoring a week,
Krom said.
"For anybody to spend two hours a
week is nothing. What's two hours a
week? It's a good cause," tutor Coston
said.
Brenda Coston, who has been a
Southington resident for five years, said
she Joined Literacy Volunteers about two
years ago.
"I was always interested in helping an
adult that couldn't read," she said. "I
thh-fl¢ It's devastating that there are adults
who can't read."
"Adults are slower than kids, because they•ze built so many blocks," she
said.
Most of her students have been
young men in the Cheshire Correctional
Institute. The young man she has been
tutoring for about three months now is 24
year old Raymond Wall. who has a high
school diploma from the Hartford school
system, yet can't read.
Coston said with prison students, by
tutoring "you get people on the right track,
so that they don't have to go on stealing."
Some people have asked her why she
tutors prisoners, Coston said. *They ask
me 'Do you get paid for this? Why do you
do it if you don't get something out of it?"
Coston said she replies "If I don't do
it, who's going to do it?"
"Those people have gone this far
without reading," she said. "It's
somebody's fault."
According to Southington's 1984
census data, there are 7.643 people in
town who are age sixteen and above that
did not complete high school, said Bruce
Maccabe, Executive Director of LVSCC.
Those who are over age 25 with less than
an elghth grade educaUon number 3,417
in Southington, he said.
Maccabe said that one out of 10
people in Connecticut are functionally
illiterate--have an education below the
sixth grade level.
In the state of Connecticut, there are
about 700,000 citizens who are functionally illiterate, 400,000 of which are native
Americans, 300,000 are immigrants,
according to figures based on State Department of Education data, experts such
as Jonathan Kozol--author• of ///aerate
Amer/ca -- and Literacy Volunteers.
Literacy Volunteers of South Central
Connecticut is presently providing educational service to students from the ages of
16 to 90, Maccabe said, using tutors from
the ages of 16 to 70.
Twenty-five percent-- about 20 to 25
people- of the tutors for this branch of
Literacy Volunteers are from Southington. Maccabe said, and there are about 30
Southington students. Not all students
from Southington are matched with
Southington tutors, he said.
The tutors work to build the selfconfidence of the students, Maccabe said.
"We give them success, show them what
they can do."
Maccabe, Executive Director of
LVSCC since June, and a Meriden resident since 1966, was one its founding
members three and a half years ago. He
said that Literacy Volunteers of Connecticut was formed 15 years ago and Literacy
Volunteers of America 25 yemS ago.
The Literacy Volunteers of South
Central Connecticut merged four areas:
Che,•hire, Wallingford, Mertden, and
Southlngton. Maeeabe said that Literacy
Volunteers has good relations with all
four towns.
The Meriden Public Library anows Literacy Volunteers to use
building space for free, as well as in-klnd
services, Maecabe said. Each town library
is cooperative, he said.
"We don't try to step on the toes of the
Board of Education," he said. "We don't
want to duplicate services."
"This area is very sensitive to (illiteracy)," Maccabe said. "I have met with a lot
of cooperaUo•"
Southington resident Rose Griflln
said she Joined Literacy Volunteers about
five years ago because "I'm an avid reader
myself, and I feel very strongly about
everyone learning to read."
Griffin presently tutors Plantsville
resident Meilan Sun, a 40 year old Chinese woman who has lived in America for
three and a half years. (see photo on page
16)
Sun is an ESL (English as a Second
Language) student. She has two children
and a husband, named Shulong, who
works in Danbury, at International Business Machines (IBM) Corp. Shulong Sun
is also receiving tutoring from LVSCC."Both [Meflan and Shulong Sun) are
very ambitious, very enthusiastic," Grillln
said.
Griffin said the Suns speak Chinese
at home, although the children are learning English at school.
Meflan Sun said "my sons speak
English very well. My husband doesn't
think he sveak(s) well."
Griffin said Meilan Sun understands
English much better since she began with
Literacy Volunteers in November 1986.
"I'm enjoying this program," Sun
said. "I'm happy to study with Rose.
She('s) like my mother, my friend."
"I find the program very •ratifying
myself," Griilln said. "It's not really that
much time, but it's a big help."
Heleh Ploszay, who tutors two 32
year old Southington residents who are
named Art and Betsy, said she had heard
about Literacy Volunteers through Rose
Grtflln.
She said she has been tutoringArt for
a year and Betsy for six months, although
presently Betsy is taking the summer off
to take care of her children.
Ploszay said of ]Betsy, who had received a high school while still living in
Poland, "I think she's ready for college.
but she doesn't have the confidence."
Art said he became involved with
Literacy Volunteers because he felt he
needed help with some reading. Improv• his reading skills would also better his
opportunities, he said.
Both tutor and student have learned
from each other, according to Ploszay and
student Art. While Art said he has learned
how to break down big words and use the
dictionary with troublesome words,
Ploszay said "I•e learned patience from
him."
Maecabe said that national interest
in illiteracy is growing, especially because
of the efforts of Project Literacy United
States (PLUS}. "It's what we've been working for," he said. "We're very glad of all the
help PLUS will give us."
The funding and programming for
PLUS, which began about a year and a
half ago, Maecabe said, is a cooperative
effort between Public Broadcasting System (PBS) and ABC Network stations
across the country.

Bradley Memoria•-I@spital said. "We are
very fortunate to have a difficult decision... (They are) two of the best companies in the state... Our vote for one company is nothing against the other."
John Mayo, chairman of the Board of
Fire Commissioners, promised a smooth
transiUon switching over to the private
service from the town-run •ervlee. The
Fire Board, he said. is "ready a•d willing...
to make this transition as smooth and
quickly as possible."
Town Council Chairman Andrew
Meade said [he Fire Board's accepIance of
the bid was important because "down in
the trenches is where it means the most."
The decision to place a paramedic in
each ambulance was supported by the
FireBoard. John Mayo said it would better serve Southington. He sald It was the
way for the town to go in manner of cost
and hands-on ability of professionals.
If the Council approves the
committee's recommendations, Waterbury Ambulance has 120 days to establish the service. David J. Byrne, vice presi-,
dent and treasurer of Waterbury, said
they should have little trouble in setting
up shop in Southir•ton within that time.
Byrne's maJorconcernwas the ahllity
to purchase new ambulance vehicles in
the face of an lmpendlng shortage. He
explained that Ford Motor Company will
not be making gas-powered ambulances
at all in 1988. This will be a problem
because Ford manufactures 90% of the
ambuIances In America. He said "if push
comes to shove" they may have to discuss
buying the town's used ambulances. But
all in an, he said. "120 days is a fairly fair
period of t.ime.*
One requirement by the state that'has to be met is Waterbury Hospital must
obtain a sponsoring hospital for its para-
medic service. Town Manager John
Welchsel said Bradley Memorial Hospital
has pledged to do everything possible to
become a sponsoring hospital for the
town's future paramedic service.
Waterbury Ambulance told the
committee that as required they have
made arrangements for back-up ambulance services. The back-up companies
will be Capitol County Ambulance of
Plainville, Professional Ambulance of New
Britain and Bristol EMS Ambulance of
Bristol Hospital. In addition. Waterbury

Doctor's, ""...,
For Southington native Dr Joseph
Babiarz, there's no place like home.
Babiarz, the new full-time medical
director at Apple Valley Walk-In Medical
Center, was born at Bradley Memorial
Hospital and attended all Southington
schools, graduating from Southington
High School in 1976.

in high school was to be like Dr. (George)
Gura," the Babiarz family doctor.
In his sophomore year in high school,
Babiarz was already getting a taste for
medicine as a volunteer in the emergency
room at Bradley Memorial Hospital.
Babiarz said originally he had
wanted to be a family practitioner, but he
later decided to go into internal medicine.
"Inmedical school I decided to go into
internal medicine (because} everyone is
more speclaltzcd now," Bablarz said.
About a year ago, while in residency
at Waterbury Hospital, he started working part-time at Apple Valley Walk-ln.
Dr. Anthony Ciardella, an internal
medicine physician who was medical director of Apple Valley Walk-ln prior to
Babiarz, approached him with the ofer for
the position of medical director.
Babisrz said that when he told Ciardella that he wanted to be a doctor in
town as well, Ciardella offered him a partnership in his Southington practice.
"My eventual goal is to be a full-time
doctor in town, as business picks up,*
Babiarz said.
His residency completed in late June,
Babiarz began work with Ciardella at
Bradley Memorial on July 1, and at Apple
Valley Walk-In on July 4.
Also, on July 30, Babiarz was appointed to the position of Medical Director
of Geriatrics at Woodmere Health Care
Center. He said the appointment won't
take effect for a few weeks.
Babiarz said he has always resided in
his hometown except for the years he
spent as an undergraduate at Alliance
College in Pennsylvania from 1976 to
1980. He commuted to the University of
Connecticut School of Medicine until he
graduated in 1984.
*I'm really excited about working in
my home town,* Babiazz said. "Pro lucky
to have the opportunity to come back. It
feels good to come back and eatabli.4h
practice.*
"I've seen people who recognize me,
classmatea of mine. They're really excited
about it-- that someone from their hometown became a doctor," Babiarz said. "I
hope it says something about our education here (in Southington).*
Margaret Adams, Manager of Apple
Valley Walk-In since it opened in February 1986, and a Southington resident for
33 years, also speaks up for the hometown advantage.
*I prefer working in town. It's close to
my home (and) my kids,* she said. *I like
working with classmates." Adams was
working in Cheshire before she took her
present position.
Adams said 99 percent of Apple Valley patients are Southington residents.
"This is a community-owned waLk-in
center," Adams said, *owned by physicians in the community. So what goes on
here as far as walk-in policies, quality
control, is not done by a huge corpora-
W•'e call patients after three days, (to
follow up on their health care}," Adams
said. "If a doctor isn't treating a patient
well. communicating with the patient, we
hear about it right away.*
"Doctors are beginning to realize that
these people want to be treated as people,"
Adams said. "The general public are more
informed and want to participate in their
own health care.*
Ciardella said h•ts partner in practice
is *really good with •atients. He listens to
them. spends time with them."
"Patients of mine who have seen him
here {at Apple Valley Walk-In) were
pleased.* he said. "rhat was really the
most important thing to me.*
"You can be the greatest doctor, but
ff you can't get it across to the patients,
there's no point to it," Ciardella said.
"I'm very comfortable with him.* he
said. Wv'e have the same style with patients. He fits in real well at the office."
"Also. he's a family man," Ciardella
said. *and even on a social basis we have
a.good relatignship.*
"He's very eager and energetic," Ciardella said. "He's willing to work and has
already put in extended hours both here
(atApple ValleyWalk-In} and inmy office.*
As Medical Director at Apple Valley
Walk-in, Babim-z works 40 hours a week,
reviewing the work done by the other
doctors there, checking laboratory work
and cheat X-rays. "I make sure there is a
continuity in the care and follow-up,*
Babiarz said.
*He will represent a stability, a continnity that we didn't have (at Apple Valley)
before,* Ciardella said. =When people
come here they can anticipate seeing
him."
Walk-in centers are very popular,
Adams said. They're good for people who
are so rushed. "People need convenience,*
she said.
Apple Valley Walk-ln is available as a
convenience to the public, Babiarz said. If
a doctor can't see a patient, they can drop
by the walk-in medical center.
"We can do almost anything an office
can,* Babiarz said. "We have X-ray facilities, (we do) simple lab work, remove
warts, suturing for simple lacerations,
sports physicals, and pregnancy tests.*
"We're planning to have Dr.
thony) Lachman, a cardiologist from New
Britain, brought in to set up a stress lab,"
Babiarz said. "We do cardiac risk screen"We treat your acute sicknesses
which you do,n't go to the emergency room
for and can't always get in to see the
doctor for,* Adams said.
"We don't want to follow people who
are chronically ill," Bablarz said. "We like
to send them to their do•tor,*
After a patient is seen at Apple Valley
Walk-In, they are referred to a doctor. "We
believe a patient should be followed by a
doctor," Babiarz said.
Dr. Babiarz, according to Adams, is
=very down to earth and extremely enthusiastic about the practice of medicine.
He's concerned that it's done right.*
*He puts the patients' concerns first,"
Adams said. "If a patient does not have
insurance, he is aware of it.* If a patient
needs medication but cannot afford any,
he will give them samples from the center,
she said•
*It's like he's treating his friends,
because he's working in his hometown,*
Adams said.

Democrat Town Committee member
Dennis Putala plans to challenge his
party to get his name on the Council ballot
for the November election. '
Putala met with the Democratic Registrar ofVoters, John Daley, Friday morning to obtain the necessary papers to force
a primary before November.
Putala was nominated for the Council at the Democratic caucus but lost out
to the nominatin• committee-endorsed
slate.
Putala has unU] 4:00 p.m., August 13
to obtain 363 signatures to force the primary.
Putala said he decided to file.for the
primary after discussing the feasibility of
such action with some veteran Democrats.
Putala said he wants to be on the
Council as opposed to other boards because he would not feel comfortable on
the Board of Education and Planning and
Zoning Commission. Asked if Demecratic
Town Committee Chairman John Daley
had offered him the Board of Education
instead of the Council, Putala said no
such offer was made. However, Putala
said, some Democrats had offered him
unofficially spots on other boards.
Putala said he thinks his chancea are
excellent to win a prtmazy however he
admitted the Democrats' nominating
committee slate has never lost a primary.
Putala said he was not running because he was dissatisfied with the party
qualified individuals. The endorsed candidatea are Robert Carbone, Nicholas
DePaala, James Korenkiewicz, Edward
Malczyk, Kyle Meccariello and Stephen
Stack.
Putala had notified the party of his
intention to run back in June. He said he
was not interviewed for the position.
Putala denied that his decision to run
was evidence of factionallsm in the Democratic party.
• Putala said his fandly and friends
told him that he should run. They feel that
as a Southington native, Putala knows the
community and will make a good candidate. Also Putala said his family and
friends are confident in his ability to stay
current on issues in town.
Putala said he hopes the core of his
support will come from his friends and
family.
In a prepared statement, Putala said,
"As a young man I experienced politics
with my father, Joseph Putala of the
Board of Finance. I•e seen the good
someone can do for others serving public
office.
"I decided, with the help of my family
and friends that I would spend my energy
this fall winning the Council seat for our
Democratic Party.
*Some of the issues which will be
expanded on through November that I
would like to be addressed are improved
roads, better fire and police protection
and greater economic development.*
Putala has a bachelor's degree in
AdminlstraUve Science (management}
and marketing.

The race for the Board of Education
was the big news at the Southington
Democratic Town Committee meeting.
In particular, the Democrats presented former Republican Board of Education member Zaya Oshana as part of
their ticket and Board ofEducation Chairman Kevin Kelley was noticeably abse•nt
from the ticket.
Oshana's presence on the Democratic ticket was greeted with some fanfare from"•fl• Democratic leaders and
rank and file.
Michael Clynes praised the "wise
decision" of the leaders for putting Oshana on the ticket. He criticized the R•publicans for "shutting the door" on
Oshana beeause of Oshana's refusal to

Insight for the media
This editor had a learning experience
last week at Briarwood College. The cam.pus was the scene of its first Elderhostel.
a period of tlme senior citlzens spend on a
college campus taking courses and traveling around the area.
Delivering lectures to the seniors
hopefully was nearly as rewarding as the
lecturer learning from feedback from the
seniors. They were ready to talk and deliver blistertng messages to the media as
a whole - the printed and the electronic
media.
The seniors came from all over the
country to converge on the Mount Vernon
Road campus of Briarwood College. They
came from California, Florida, Delaware.
Pennsylvania. New York. Massachusetts
and Georgia. Their message, however.
came in unison: They don't trust the
media. And there was more. They want
more In-depth news.
Ever since Walter Cronkite retired
they have been seeking "someone they
can trust" on television. Many watch less
and less of the boob tube and get more of
their electronic media news on the radio.
"It doesn't seem to be slanted and we get
more of the news stories," they answered
in unison.
They rely on their own initiative to
seek out the story behind the headlines.
They don't trust the sensational newspapers or "IV when it comes to a maJ or story,
such as the Iran-scam hearings. In addit.lon to watching television and listening to
the radio, they read several newspapers to
get different points of views.
In generkl, the seniors feel coverage
of the hearings were biased and slanted.
They earnestly feel too many members of
the media are "out to get" certain national
figures. Thus the mls-trust.
It was nice to hear that their own
local weekly newspapers had an important part of their gathering of news. They
appreciate the in-depth coverage. They
did complain, however, of quotes being
taken out of context or not printed in total
in all newspapers.
One senior's husband was a public
official in a town thousands of miles from
Southington. She complained he never
got a fair deal from the press. He openly
complained about it for years.
The general consensus was, the
media should govern itself more honestly.
It should be exceedingly careful in whom
it hires and sends out to cover stories. One
senior, a retired college professor from
New York, felt there should be an independent board set up to study charges
against "biased" reporters. The overall
feeling was. the media as a whole has to
clean up its act.
This group was sensational in its
approach to ]earning. It couldn't get
enough. Its collective thirst for information was infectious. It may have had
strong feelings on several subjects, but it
was open to new ideas and opposite opinions. Its wisdom of living through many
stages was evident in its collective answers and viewpoints. You'll have to get
up pretty early to sllp one by this group.
Many of the seniors were into their
fifth through tenth elderhostels. One had
attended elderhosteis in foreign countries. They truly supported the phflssophy of •You never stop learning." J.S,
Let's hear it for the kids/
The complaint is heard often, we
never hear or read about the good kids
Maybe that's true. maybe it's not. We
certainly give it a good shot to print positlve news about youngsters every week.
Last week this editor had the opportunity 6f attending a performance of West
S/de Story by youngsters in town in the
Children's Summer Theatre Workshop
program. Earlier in the week a performance of Harm Christian Anderset• was
presented. West S•le Story was a masterpiece and from all reports Hans Christian
Andersen was also superb.
The amount of work it takes to put on
such performances is averwhelming. To
hem-that these young thespians did so in
a short space of time makes the performances more profound in this edltor's
mind. Photos of the performances appear
on page 2.
I•byn Simms, Helen Crowley and
Brett Bernadinl were singled out for
directing West Side Story. They are to be
congratulated. And kudos to the directors
of Hans Christian Andersen,
Laura
Kelley, Karl Hect and Linda Foster. Great
Job. Bravo!
The youngsters playing leading and
other roles deserve all the bravos one can
muster. They were creative and Imaginative, a tribute to the summer theater
program.
The Southington Recreation Department deserves accolades for having such
a program...something creative youngsters can do in the non-school season.
A11owing their creative Juices to flow can
only help each youngster to mature. There
should be more programs of the nonsports variety in town. Certainly the
sports programs in Southington are first
class, but there are hundreds of youngsters with other interests. They must be
served. The Children's Summer Theatre
Workshop is a major step in that direction. Bravo to all involved! J.S.
PEI SIA GULF . tEN CE
all citizens who are running for elected office
Let us all, this year. start with an issue
that we can agree upon: let's make 1987
the Year of Education for Southington.
Both political parties have made an excellent start, having selected as their "newcomers" to the BOE competent indlvtduals. many of wham have already shown a
commitment to education
Focus on issues
Let us focus on the issues that are
before us in Southington: a critical shortage of school housing, present buildings
which are in le•s than desirable condition, and the need to strengthen our curricu]um i• manyzreas. We are fortunate
to already have themost important tools
to accomplish our tasks; Dr. Louis Saloom, many other fine administrators and
many excellent teachers. We need now a
Board and Town to support Dr. Saloom's
ideas and proposals and to aid their
implementation as appropriate for our
community.
I hope John Daley was mls-quoted in
the Record-Joumnl when he *voted a dog
fight for the school board "and said
further" we want the Board of Education
very badly," (under lines are mine). No
matter what party holds the majority of
seats, the Board must belong to and represent the citizens of Southington. and
not a political party. Additionally. to call
the campaign a "dog fight." certainly sets
the wrong tone for what needs to be a
dignified campaign focused on issues.
My petition in this letter is to all
candidates•forBOE seats:, commit yourselves to the town and its children.
Commit yourselves, now, to support our
Superintendent and the administration
he is building. Commit yourselves to every
teacher in eve• classroom, to afford them
deserved professional respect and sup-
portfortheirteachingefl'orts.Andfinally,
educate and lobby Town Council candidates to support the needs of education,
and do the same with every citizen of
Southington.
No mor• status quo
Southington is my "hometown.* I
can't remember a time of such opportunity to place Education in a progressive,
quality seeking direction. I believe the
people of this community are no longer
satisfied to continue to "make do" and
merely maintain the status quo. Education is dynamic and must constantly
grow. ! don't expect thoughtful people to
even be in agreement on all issues, but I'm
asking for only one commitment from all
BOE candidates; put individuals and
political parties aside and focus on what
we are about: Quality Education for our
Children.
Speaking Out!
by Congresswoman Nancy Johnson
A tribute to Malcolm Baidrige
In the passing of Malcolm Baldrige
(last) week, not only did I and Connecticut
lose a dear friend, but the nation itself will
miss a Secretary of Commerce of unlque,
visionary and wise leadership.
Like many of our top government officials, Secretary Baldrlge was a man of
great integrity and a very sharp mind. But
Mac's quiet, direct personal style, his
great knowledge of the world of business
and international trade, of manufacturing and the people on the line and in the
offices who as a team create quality and
productivity, enabled him to make the
Department of Commerce an ally of industrtss important to Amerlca's ecofl0my,
Jobs and security.
Mac's Backyard
For example we nccd to look no inrther than Mac's own back yard. In •onnecticut, the machine tool and bearing
industries have been for many years the
community lifeblood, providing Jobs and
supporting local economies. For many
years the double punch of an overvalued
dollar abroad, and steadily increasing
competition by imports dumped or sold
under price here, eroded these defensecritical industries and with them the
national Security that depends on their
strength.
Mac was one of the first national policy makers to recognize the crisis in these
small, but essential, industries and the
need to adopt public policies, like tempo-
rary restraints on machine tool imports,
which when coupled with private sector
efforts to improve quality and productivity
can restore them.
Mac was my strongest ally in my efforts to convince the Reagan cabinet that
the import reliefs sought by the machine
tool and bearing industries were not blind
protectionism, but a visionary step toward a new, strong government-private
sector partnership to assure our nation's
interests. He understood that machine
tools and bearings do matter• that we
cannot have a strong peaceful economy
and secure the nation's defenses without
strength in Ame•ca's basic manufacturing capability.
And it was Mac the person who gained
respect from the leaders ofJapan and our
other trading partners. He told me after I
was first elected in 1982 that as a new
administration, he and his colleagues had
to go through all the formalities with
Japan• but that now that was done• the
tough talk was beginning.
By staying on, Mac persevered to turn
tough talk into tough action• making
possible not only tough negotiations, but
aggressive resolutions of difficult problems. HIS legacy at the international bargaining table is more Jobs and greater
security in America. tough arguments
without alienating friends on whose prosperity we too depend.
Under Mac's leadership• the Commerce Department has become a respon-
slve and aggressive fighter for fair trade. It
has launched unfair trade actions in every
major market sector against those who
have long taken advantage of our free.
open market. It has moved aggressively to
break down barriers to American products overseas.
And moving from his knowledge of
people and deep respect for those who do
theirJob well. Mac gave new authority and
opportunity to long-time Commerce
employees to try out their ideas and better
serve the taxpayers. He received all the
top awards for increasing productivity
and reducing costs. When I asked him
how he did it, he said "by listening" and by
letting those with good ideas act on them.
Mac was the bridge between the socalled free-traders who are reluctant to
help import-battered American industries regain their compe.titiveneas, and
the protectionists, who would sacrifice
export industries to close the door on
imports. For Mac, there was no free h'ade
without fair trade.
I, Connecticu•:,.a.n_._d the nation mourn
the passing of M alco•n Baldrige, a man of
soft voice, of modest demeanor, of keen
mind and extraordinmy Judgement. His
quiet determination and leadership will
be missed. For on his watch and with his
guidance, we have enjoyed a remarkably
long period of economic growth and taken
a clear, fair stand for fairness in the
international marketplace. Mac leaves
America stronger for his service.
On and Off the Record
by Bob Douglas
Big mone /was the answer in the fourth
A double dose of positive news came
from the recent 4th District primary:
Money didn't buy the elections, and the
two best candidates won.
It's reassuring to know that a vote still
counts for something, and that voters
don't inevitably settle for the candidates
who rnn the slickest, most expensive
recognition can stilt be more important
than a checkbook.
On the Democratic side, Morgan had
more money to spend in order to get his
name out to the public. He's more liberal
than Neidermeier. and akso a bigger
spender. He reportedly spent more than
$300,00 to run third. Neidermeler's organization was worth more than money.
Shays' victory was even more dramatic. He defeated two millionaires in a
district where millionaires are commonplace. Rich and Becksr spent more than
$500,00 to win the nomination. They lost.
Money's not No. 1
campaigns.
Both parties conducted primaries to
choose nominees to replace the late Rep.
Stewart McKinney. who died earlier this
year. The big winners, all around, were
candidates who did not have the big
bucks.
Candidates
•I•ne Democratic victor was former
state Rep. Christine Neidermeier of Fairfield; the Republican winner was state
Rep. Christopher Shays of Stamford.
Neldermeler had been favored to win the
Democratic runoff, but Shays was the
underdog in the GOP contest.
Neidermeier defeated state Sen. Margaret Morton of Bridgeport and Stamford
banker Michael Morton; Shays m•tpolled
Greenwich businessman John Becker,
state Rep. John Mestopoulos of Fairfield
and Darien developer Frank Rich. Neldermeier and Shays will now square off in a
special Aug. 18 elect•ton.
The election remains a 4th District
show, but it has garnered considerable
statewide attention - a race that politicos
are watching with more than a passing
Interest.
McKinney's death has given the
Dem•ocrats a chance to pick up a congressional seat that has been in GOP hands
for two decades. To the Republicans, .this
is a challenge to hold onto a once-safe
seat.
The victories assume added importance because both candidates - especlally Shays - were outspent by their
opponents. And the contests illustrate
that, in politics, organization and name
This is not to deny that polities is the

look into the operations and functions of
our governmental system. Towns such as
Meriden and Enfield have had many successful years in the program. A key
element to their success is the fact that
their Youth and Government program is

To the editor:
After reading an article in "The Observer" concerning the Youth and Government program. I was inspired to write this
editorial.
The Youth and Government program
needs and deserves school sponsorship
and involvement by offering credit toward
graduation to students who participate in
Youth and Government. In this program,
students take an active role in situations
that face our state legislature today.
Youth and Government would enhance
but also motivate s•ut•nts to participate
in the fine program,
Youth and Government is a great
learning experience that all students
should have the opportunity to encounter. I believe that tills could be achieved
through school sponsorship by granting
credit toward graduation to participants.

possible special session).
I ask the courtesy of the editor to be
able to respond to statements made in a
local daily article dated May 1987.
I received a • from the paper:, the
caller I assumed to be Bob Rocco but the
actual caller was Joseph 1•cha. Rocco or
I•cha - what's in a name? Still under the
assumption I was talking to ROCCO, my
comments were •.de within the time
frame of the 4 ye• old suit. In the article,
my comments reflected a more recent
time frame, i.e., the reporter stated I had
talked to Atty. Sbarge last fall; my comment was that I offered to be contact man
for the S.T.A. (Southir•ton Taxpayers
Aasociatton) only for the•slx months after
the lawsuit was initiated. Mr. Alex Drefling was the contact man because of his
proximity to the lawyers' office in W.
Hartford. Mr. Alan MacDowell was the
Chairman of the Legal Fund; I was only
the S.T.A. org•tional Treasurer at the
time. We three made up the Revaluation
Committee.
All this information was given to the
reporter. After asking for the reason for
his call, he infortned me that the S.T.A
lawsuit was dismissed on December 5,
1986 and some S.T_•members said it was
my fault. My response was that, to my
knowledge" at the time of my resignation

15, 1986, the Superior Court's file's last
insert consisted of a motion filed by S.T.A
AttorneyThomas Parrel tiffed, "Motion To

still open. Contrary to assumptions reported in the article, my resignation from
the President of the S.T.A was final.
Somehow my resignation date was reported to be "December" not "October'[HH
At this time it would be appropriate to
clear up several questions: Attorney Arnold Sbarge of the law firm Hyman. Harding, Sbarge and Droney, P.C. located at
the Corporate Center West in West Hartford asked for a retainer of $7,500 to
initiate the lawsuit. Somehow {while I
served on the Southington Town Council
in 1975 and under the s.T• by-laws I
could not be an elected ofllcial and an
officer of the S.T.A at the same time) S.T.A
officials failed to file a biannual report
resulting in dissolution of the STA under
the Secretary of State's Corporations
Division's Incorporation Laws. The law
firm filed new Incorporation papers in
1983 at the time of the Revaluation law
suit.
Because of this organizational problem and insistence of the $7,500 retainer
fee, a quick decision had to be made on
how to pay for the lawsuit. $6,700 (including $700•cash from the Chairman of the
legal fun'•l) was paid to the attorney from
my personal account with a check from
the East Hartford Aircraft Federal Credit
Union. Mr. Alex Dreillng made up the
other $800 when we met with the lawyers
in 1983. The money had to be put up front
to seek an immediate injunction against
"applying the results of the Revaluation
Firm's assessments to the grand list."
The•public outcry was such that it was
felt that it wonld be no problem to raise
additional funds later. A check for $1,459
was also paid for the services of a Norman
Benedict, an appraiser hired by the attorneys. The incorporation fee was paid
separalely; it was not a law suit expense
($43.50). These checks came from the
S.T.A checking Acc't.
When, later, I became president, I
insisted all actions be approved at.public
meetings; that the secretary sign news
releases and meeting notices; that the
Secretary receive all communications;
that committees be appointed to cover
public issues and to report back to the
S.T.A. Also a membership committee was
appointed; the Revaluation Committee
was continued. Reading in the Record
that other members of the S.TA gave
state•nents that they ,k•.w nobhlng •f.the

no update as requested under his slgnature. I do not know how much more I could
have done to make the communications
go through the proper channels of orgaui. zation. If the law firm was requested to
send commq•cations to the S.T• secretary, how could the members make press
statements that I did not keep them informed? Shouldn't they make this charge
to the law firm?
There would be no reaction or response on my part If a citizen, upon my
being introduced to him. recognized me
by the reported compliment? Of keeping

Summer is synonymous with back

Unfortunately, as you well know, this time
of year also signals property tax payment.

Waterbury. as a long-time taxpayer, and

p•ac•s on many individuals.

the people of Connecticut, and as ViceChairman of the Appropriations Committee, I am proud to say we did Just that.
Through several different pieces oflegislation. state government will be helping
your local towns to lower your property
taxes.

The Ase Old questionl
Once you've decided to purchase
a home, one important question you'll
need to answer for yourself has to do
with age. The age of your next home
will determ=ne other factors which may
be =inpaTient to you and your family.
Whether you prefer a newer home, say
•vo years old, or a. older home of 40
years, you will probably find that living
space is the biggest factor to be considered. Since older homes tend not to
rise as rap=dly m price as newer models.
you may hnd that you are able to pur.
chase a home w=th more floor space
(square footage} at the same pnca as a
home built just a few years ago.
On the other hand, =f you are not handy
with tools and repairs, you may prefer a
one year old home which •s not likely to
require repairs for many years. If one of
your goals is to invest your money wisely, in order to gain the most appreciation
possible, then, again, a newer home
may be your best candidate.
If aesthetics are important, take a look
at both the newest plans and architectural styles, as well as the older ones.
Many older homes have very special
personalities with many budt-in nooks
and crannies, as well as .larger rooms.
Those features may provide just the
right corner for displaying that special
piece of antique furniture. Age, new or
old, wdl influence your buying decision

Harley's needs funding for national trip

America's coach
Southington High School baseball
coach John Fontana has received Just
about every honor and accolade possible state-wide and nationally. Now
he's getting another one.
The National High School Athletlc
Coaches Association and the United
States Baseball Federation have selected the veteran Blue Knight baseball
skipper to be the head coach of the
America High SchooIBasebalIAll-Stars
for the upcoming international Prep
World Series with the Japan High
School Baseball All-Stars. The teams
from the two countries will play a fivegame series in Tacoma, Washington,
San Diego, California and Los Angeles,
Callfomia.
Fontana was away on vacation
when the choice was made. First the
school system had to approve of Fontans being away between Adgust 27
and September 7 when the series coneludes. The new Superintendent of
Schools, Dr. Louis Saloom, gave Fontana the go-ahead this week"I'm honored," said Fontana. "This
is the first time the two countries have
played each other on this level. To be
selected for the first series makes this
Fontana comes into this international classic with very impressive credentials. His career record since taking
over baseball for the Blue Knights from
his uncle, Joe Fontana, in 1962 ts 409101. A winning percentage of better
than 80 percent. That's big time. No
wonder he's coaching the America AllStars.
"IJust hope those kids are ready for
Fontana," said the SHS coach• "TheyX,e
got to know we'll be playing the best
Japan has. They'll
be tremendous. And we're coming in
without a lot of kids who signed pro
contracts since this past spring."
There will be no American players
east of the Mississippi. They will be
from states such as California, Texas,
Arizona, Oregon.
Fontana will be in touch this week
with his two assistant coaches, Dan
White from Eastmont High School in
Wenatchee, Washington and Ron
McNutty of Carson City High School in
Carson City, Nevada.
"I couldn't have two better assistants," says an appreciative coach
Fontana.
For some time now Fontana has
sought better recognition for high
school baseball athletes. He has felt
they have received the short end of the
stick. The high school baseball season
ends in the late spring, Just before
graduation and the schools closing.
The year is over and very little recognition goes to the diamond talents. That's
why Fontana and New Britain coach
Ken Kezer started a program for AllStar teams in the state. And Fontana
wanted to start one all over the nation
from each section: east, south, west
and north.
While at a convention a couple of
years ago, Fontana discussed his ideas
with Dick Case and l•bert Williams of
the American Baseball Federation.
Case is the executive director while
Williams is a consultant. They came up
with the idea for a series with Japan.
They got behind it and it has become a
"The American Baseball" Federation sponsors the Pan-Am games and
the Olympic baseball team," says Fontana, "They know how to get things
done.*
The•estis •lstqry. The series will
start later this month and Io and be-hold, Fontana is right in the middle of
it.
"When they contacted me," explains Fontana, "I thought they wanted
me to help run the games. I never
dreamed I'd be selected to coach. I am
really excited."
Harley's Small Engine 18 and under
girls soRball team won the New England
Regional ASA Junior Olympic Championships July 24 & 25, but whether or not the
team goes to California for the national
championships August 13-16 is another
story.
In order for the team to make that trip
to Lodi, California, some $9,000 must be
donated for the expenses. Thus far $2,000
has been donated. Time is running out
but the team is hopeful someone will come
forth to help pay the expenses. The team
has beenconducting a fund raising drive.
Anyone wishing to donate may contact
SHS softball coach Joe Piazza at 6212650 or Harley Johnson at 621-2440 or
621-6367.
Harley's had some great individual
play in cementing the New England
crown. For instance, Dawn Lantiere
played some super shortstop, handling
22 assists and 13 putouts without an
error. And Deb Larson was outstanding
behind the plate, catching all six games in
the tournament.
Harley's won the pivotal fifth and
sixth games with Jen Ciardullo, Lyman
Hall's Junior varsity pitcher, the winning
hurler in both contests. Harley's had to
defeat Boston twice to win the championships, and that they did.
In game five, it was a 1-0 thriller with
CiarduIIo spirmmg a two-hitter over seven
innings. An error in the very first inning
opened the gates for Harley's Carol Sehular of Norwalk to score what would be the
game's only run. Schular had a great
game with a single and double along with"
scoring the run. The error was on a throw
back to the Boston pitcher.
In game six, the finale, Harley's was a.
5-3 winner, with Larson the hitting hero.
She smashed a bases loaded triple and
singled in another run. Schular added two
singleswhile Melodic Johnson had an RBI
base hit. Ciardullo went the distance,
allowing five hits and three runs. Harley's
had fought back from the loser's bracket
to win the title.
Harley's fourth game-was a loser's
bracket final They had to win to advance.
The Maine champions were the opponent.
Harley's won 5-4. Lori Frederick pitched
the front five innings, allowing seven hits
and four runs. Kris Mach finished up,
giving up two hits. Th• hitting stars for
Harleys: Chris Hickey of Merey in Middle-
town (two singles and four RBIs) and Kelly
Biggs (two singles}.
Harkiey's opened the New England
championships by shutting out the Boston Runnerup team, 5-0. Amy Logan of
Lyman Hall went six innings, allowing but
two hits and striking out a pair of hitters.
Frederick pitched the last inning, allowing a hit and fanning one. Denise LaMontagne singled and doubled while driving in
a run. Schular added a pair of hits while
Biggs tripled in another run.
Game two found Harley's winning
again, 3-1, over New Hampshire. Tracy

past seasons, hurled the first five innings,

Harley's only loss came in the third
game when the Boston Area Champs beat
the Southington and Comaecticut ent.ty,
2-1. Lantiere drilled a pair of hits for
Harley's while Ciosek was the tough-luck
loser, allowlng but two runs and four hits

Mark LaRosa chooses LSU
(•oach Fontana
The series will be played in Tacoma
onAugust 29-30; in San Diego on Sept.
2 at San Diego State University;, and in
the Los Angeles area at Commerce
September 6-7.
Carey E. McDonald, exeCUtive
Director of the National High School
Athletic Coaches Association, is also
excited about the internaUonal series.
Says he: "I'ne international series may
well be the forerunner of a global competition including the Pacfflc and CarIbbean Basins or Latin America. What
a showcase for high school baseball in
the USA. It is such a big thing in Japan
where their national prep championships will draw nearly 400,000 fans."
In seeking Dr. Saloom's okay for
Fontana to be available for the series on
the west coast, the coaches association
wrote: "You and the Southington
school system are hereby commended
for your outstanding program which
includes such nationally-recognlzed
faculty members as Mr. Fontana. His
commitment to excellence is only e•ceeded by his great dedication to the
youth of Southington, Connecticut,
and America. Our sincere appreciation
to Southington schools for your cooperation and support."
The Fontana factor has reached
national and now world-wide status.
The athletes have been the benefactors.
He has rubbed elbows with contacts
who have helped numerous athletes go
onto to colleges and pro careers. In an
interview this week with Mark LaRasa,
this season's top hurler for SHS, he
spoke glowingly of Fontana:
WChere would I be witnout him? I
would never be going to LSU (Louisiana
State University} without his help. He
made the contact for me. I look at that
beautiful school and the opportunity it
•vfll afford me...wihout coach Fontana,
the dream doesn't come true. At the
beginning ofmy senior year he satme
down and guided me towards the season I had this past spring. He had
confidence in me. He never gave up on
me. Look at all the kids going to bigtime
schooIs around-the country. All Because of coach Fontana. I can never
thank him enough.*
Thus the American High School
All-Star team.will have SHS's coach to
guide them against Japan. Fontana's
ready. He's heading for the coast to win.
It should be quite a series.
After much traveling and a lot of
thinking, former Southington High
School southpaw Mark LaRosa has chosen Louisiana State University. The Tigers of LSU are getting one tough lefthandef.
LaRosa had a dream season for the
Blue Knights this past spring, winning 12
and losing but one game. He had an era of
1.34, fanning 146 in 78 innings and allowing but 35 hits.
Several colleges and universities
were after LaRosa, but one visit to the
Baton Rouge campus of the Tigers and he
was sold. "It is incredible down there,"
says LaRosa. "An•[ the coaches are outstanding. I made up my mind immediately.*
LaRosa h•d narrowed his choices
down to three schools: LSU, Florida
Southern and South Carolina. Had he not
chosen LSU, Florida Southern would
have been LaRosa's choice. Former Blue
Knight Chris Allen is that-school's top
third baseman, an All-American. Former
Blue Knight teammate Pete Meade is at
South Carolina, a school also attended by
another former SHS baseball talent, Scott
Mackie, who played for the Gamecocks
and graduated two years ago. But LSU
won out for LaRosa.
There were other schools interested
in LaRosa, such as Dartmouth, Miami,
the University of New Haven and the
University of Georgia.
In 10 days LaRosa will be heading for
Louisiana. "I can't wait," he tellsThe Observer. The Tigers will be playing about a
15-game schedule in the fail and 55 to 60
games in the spring. This is blgtime baseball, LSU has been in the top 10 in recent
years every season.
"My dream is to pitch in the College
World Series,* says LaRosa, who has
taken a step in that direction with his
choice of LSU. "I have some butterflies
about the move, so far from home, but I'm
ready," said the amiable athlete.
He was told by the LSU coaching
•staff, led by head coach ROn Bertman,
"Weql change your raw performance to
limits unknown.*
"l'hat sure makes,, me excited," said
LaRosa.
SHS baseball coach John Fontana
made the connection for LaRosa with
LSU. He met Bertman at a recent coaches
convention in New Orleans.
"Without coach Fontana, this
wouldn't have happened.* said an appreciative LaRosa. "When I had that tough
season as a junior, he stuck with me. He
never gave •p on Mark LaRosa. I'll never
forget him for that. People will never
understand what he does for his players.
And he•l stay onmy butt through college,

shoulder. But I love that. He really cares

Post 72 loss to Hartford heartbreaker
by Dwight Moore
for The Obseroer
The Post 72 American Legion Baseball
team did everything necessary to defeat
Hartford July 29. All except for one thing:
hold the lead.
That's literally how it went for Post 72
in this wild six inning affair at Hyland
Park which was shortened due to darkhess. The two teams v•hacked out 21 hits
as the lead changed hands four times
before the issue was finally settled. And it
took Just one swing of the bat to do it.
Southington had the lead for close to
thre• innings until Hartford overtook
them in the fifth, 7-6. The locals countexed with three more in the top of the
sixth to lead 9-7. But Hartford, which was
heed to eight hits by Post 72's Shawn
Zagryn, put it all toge.t,her at just the right
moment.
With one out, Bastllio 0rtiz walked
and stole second. Jason Fen'ell followed
with a run-scoring single as the scoreboard read 9-8. Ferrell would also steal
second. Zagryn induceS Jose Perez to pop
out but David R•sado reached on an error
putting runners on the corners. Then
Tony Santiago, a perfect 4-for-4 with four
RBI, smashed a throe-run homer into the
darkness in rightfieed to pull out a 11-9
win for Hartford. The teams split the fourgame season series.
"It was a tough one. We had the lead
but we're not putting them away,"
Southington Coach Dick Tully said.

lead," added the coach.
The locals, who dueled to a 5-5 draw
with West Hartford July 30, had 13 hits in
the game as seven players•tad at least one
hit. Arm_and Gibson and Mike Baribault
each went 3-for-4 while Sean Cassidy and
Mark DiBattlsta had two apiece. DiBattista also led the team with two runs
scored and two RBI. As for Hartford, Ferrell had two hits and three RBI while Mike
Snyder, Santiago, and Rosado tallied
twice.
Southington, now 9-13-2 overall and
7-11-2 in Zone 1, winds up the 1987
campalgn,_•,with two road games. They

Simsbur• Friday in a game which could
heep determlne the winner in Zone 1. Also,
the Zone All-Star game will be held Sunday at 7 at Fontana Field. The Zone 1 AllStars will battle it out with the best from
Zone 8.
More on Hartford loss
Hartford took a 1-0 lead in the first
before Southington sent 11 men to the
plate in a five-run, five-hit second inning.
DiBattlsta led off against Ferreel with a
leftfleld single and stole second. Dan
Waslewski walked and a bunt single by
Baribault with an error by Jerry Cordoya
made it 1-1. They then scored four
stra•t on singles by Mike Pueci, Gibson,
and Cassidy and a walk to Dave MaJeski.
Trailing 6-2 in their half of the fourth,
Hartford began to rebound. Santiago
singled to center and Mickey Solen
walked. One out later, Cordova put down
a sacrifice bunt as both runners made it to
scoring position.-Snyder reached on a
two-base error by Zagryn and Ortiz
singled maldng it 6-5. Then in the fifth, a
The teams met again two days later
and things weren't much better for Post
72. Bristol took a sexen-run, three-hit
first inning on the way to a whopping 144 decision. Post 2 utilized an 11 -hit attack
which was bolstered by 15 walks allowed
by three Southington pitchers. Bristol
swept the four-game season series with
the win.
Most importantly for Bristol, the victory keeps their Zone I tit]:e hopes alive.
They improved their record to 17-5 and
trail 18-3 Sirnsbury by one-and-a-hal{

single gave Hartford the lead 7-6.
Post 72 regained the lead in the sixth
as Cassidy singled with one out. He moved
to third when MaJeski reached via a twobase error by Snyder on a dropped fly ball.
DiBattista's two-run double made it 8-7
and Waslewski singled for the third run el
the inning.
Ortiz picked up the win making two
relief appearances: one in relief of Fan'eel
and in a mopup role towards the end. He
went 3 1/3 irmings allowing three hits
and one run while walking two and striking out si• Zagryn absorbed the loss as he
walked four and had six K's.
Bristol loss
When it rains, it pours. And it did so in
two very different ways for the locals.
On Sunday, their game with archrival Bristol had to be called after 4 1/2
innings due to the wet stuff. Post 2 was in
command of that affair 7-4 when the
stoppage occurred.
Fis, nir )g
"Jumping out to a 7-0 lead is tough
emotionally to come back from," Post 2
Coach Hal Ktlby said. "This past week
we've bee banging the ball arodnd real
well," added the coach.
John Couture and Craig Ciquera
paced the team with two hits as all the
members of Bristors starting lineup had
at lest one hit. Jeff Fiondella topped the
team with three RBI while Ciquera and
Joe Martino had two. Rich Latko scored
three runs and walked three times and
teammates Mike Granger and Keith Raffaniello tallied twice.
Bristol sent 10 men to the plate in the
first as they also took advantage of four
Zagryn walks. Latko and Craig Mannarino scored once on a walk and a single
respectively while Clquera and Joe
Martino connected for a two-run double
and a two-run single respectively.
"The thing is you Just can't walk
people," Tully said. "If we kept it close we
could•e beaten them. They Jumped out
early and got the lead," he added.
The locals had an opportunity in the
first as they loaded the bases. But
Bristors John Dauphlnee induced Baribault to hit into a double play and struck
out Waslewski.
In the Southington second, Bertola
reached on an error and got to second on
a walk to Mike Pucci. Gibson singled to
center sending Beriola to third and Gibson went to second on the throw. Pucci
was caught in a rundown. MaJeski clouted
a three-run round-tripper to righ • as Bristol led 7-3.
Post 2 increased their I(,•I to 13-3
after six tallying four in the fourth and two
in the sixth. The locals scored their final
run in the sixth on a one-out homer to
right by DiBattista. MaJ esld led the team's
seven-hit attack with two hits and three
RBI.

Editor's Note
The State Department of Health Services this week issued a revised advisory on
the eattr• of strlped bass•The DOHS•ow
recommends that striped bass taken from
Long Island Sound should not be eaten by
women who are pregnant, women of
child-bearing age, or children under age
15. All others should llmit consumption of
striped bass to the equivalent of one meal
per month, or 12 meals per year.
This warning, a revision of one that
has been in effect for nearly two years, is
based on the contamination of striped
bass by a chemical waste product, polychlortnated biphenyls - or PCBs. It was
Jointly issued today by the Connecticut

PCBs are of concern to state officials
because evidence links consumption of

Veterans will get funding
Council gets illegal dumping complaint
Neighbors of Chuck and Eddie Used
Auto Parts on O1¢] .Turnpike Road are
upset over what they feel is illegal dumphag going on at the Junk yard.
Several of the residents, who are also
members of the Residents Against the
Transfer Station (RATS) came to last
week's Town Council meeting to ask the
Council to investigate the activities they
have seen.
The Council said theywill lock into it.
Susarme Blasczyk of Old Turnpike
Road said she has seen trucks from the
]•ristol Highway Department bringing
bulky wastes like old refrigerators and
mattresses to Chuck and Eddie. She said
she was especially concerned about the
activity because of the RATS lawsuit
against Southington regarding the bulk•
waste transfer station.
The RATS are suing the town to block
construction of the bulky waste transfer
station planned by the town to be located
at Chuck and Eddie.
Blasczykrmld she • seen this activity going on for the past week and and
a half.
Helayne Slodzinski of Old Turnpike
Road presented the Council with photo-
Freedom
from smoking
No power for 1,600
residents Monday
Monday, 1,600 Soufiaington and
Plainville residents lost power for an hour
and a half when a transformer blew up.
According to a Northeast Utilities
representative the power went out at
11:16 a.m. and returned an hour and half
later. He said it was a "rather significant"
power outage.
The northern part of Southington
near Route 10 was effected by the outage.
The American Lung Association of
Connecticut (ALAC) has two serf-help
program which offer smokers freedom"Freedom from Smoking" (FFS).
Nine out of ten smokers who say they
want to quit prefer to do so on their own,
according to Montca Lord, ALAC's Program Associate for Smoking and Health:
*One. two or more unsuccessful attempts
don• mean failure". Lord says, "think of
them as practice." Most ex-smokers quit
several times before they became nonsmokers.
The American Lung •_•sociation (AIA)
has researched, tested and developed two
smoking cessation programs to help
smokers quit on their own. The first conslsts of a pair of manuals rifled "Freedom
From Smoking in 20 Days" to help smokers quit and "A Lifetime of Freedom From
Smo]•" to mz•intain the individual as a
non-•n•ker. T•e second is a VCR pro•eg•ti•-efled "In Control" which includes
o tape in VHS or BEAT format, a
20-minute audio tape to enhance motivation and relaxation, and a 136 page
viewer's guide workbook.
"Quitting smoking is not easy for most
people," says Lord. "and can be most
difficult in summer when Iknd•g a group
program is nearly impossible." What
seems to make the difference between
success and failure? Studies point out
two important factors: commitment and
preparation. Commitment is sparked
internally and will be quite different for
each individual. Preparation, however.
can be learned by almost anyone. The
philosophy which makes these self-help

State Representative Eugene
Migllaro (R-80) has reported Connecticut
veterans hospitalization fund will receive
full financial support this year.
The hospitalization fund was in
doubt because Democrats had pulled
$400,000 out of the $635,000 requested.
The fund pays for hospitalization of veterans who cannot be treated in the Rocky
Hill Veterans Hospital or a Veteran's
Administration hospital.
Migliaro said he has spoken with
Anthony Milano's office of the state Office
of Policy and Management and they have
The Democrats in the state legislature have voted against a proposal that
would have reduced property taxes for
Southington homeowners by 10%, according to State Representative Angelo
Fusee.
Reduce taxes
Fusee (R-81) said the proposal,
which he voted ha favor of, was an amendment to a bill that will reduce taxes for
Connecticut corporations. The amendment would have established a state
subsidy to enable every Connecticut
community to bill homeowners for only
90% of the property tax they would otherwise have been obligated to pay.

Weichsel said he did not think ff
Chuck and Eddie was bringing ha refrigerators that it would constitute expansion
of a non-conforming use. He said if they
are accepting mattresses that would be
"ridiculous... They're a liability."
Ed Markiewicz of Buckland Street
told the Council he saw a rat a foot long
that he thinks came from the Chuck and
Eddie site. He asked the town to have the
Board of Health look into it.
Weichsel said that it should be noted
that Chuck and Eddie already has rats
and the town's bulky waste transfer station has not even been constructed. There
were concerns when the station was up
for public hearing.thai the station would
attract rats to the site.
graphs of scrap wood stacked on Chuck
and Eddie's property. She thought Chuck
and Eddie might be in violation of Department of Environmental Protection regulations and zoning regulations. She said it
was an expansion of a non-conforming
use because the property used to be home
of Mitchell's Used Auto Parts. They should
be accepting auto parts not refrigerators.
Town Manager John Weichsel said
the activity of Chuck and Eddie has nothing to do with the lawsuit. He said it is a
Junk yard and they are allowed to accept
old refrigerator and the like. He said he
saw the Bristol trucks go into the site but
had not thought it was a problem. He said
he will have the zoning enforcement officer investigate it.

PZC approves Loper St. renovation
by Mike Chalken
staff writer
The PLanning and Zoning Commis;
slon unanimously approved the Town
Council's decision to renovate Loper
Street.
Town Engineer Tony Trsnquillo told
the PZC that the Council decided, after
reviewing a list of roads in town that they
felt needed reconstruction. Loper Street
would be the next road for renovation. As
part of the reconstruction, Tranquillo
said, the road will be widened to 32 feet,
drainage will be improved and alignment
will be corrected. He said there may also
be the possibility that sewers will be installed along Loper as well.
Tranqufllo said there are a lot of problems along Loper Street There are "a lot of
Bttle curves" on the road that will be
straightened out There is also bedrock
that Juts out on to the road Many residents have complained about the poor
site distance out of their driveway and
have requested the town to correct it.
"We will. provide a modern roadway,"
Tranquillo said.
Commissioner Joseph Adams said,
"This road should be improved. It's quite
heavily used.., driving at night time you
have to watch your step."
The Town Council will have a public
hearing for Loper Street on August 10.
close watch on the application from Ralph
Crispino for a 6-1ot subdivision off of
Crispino Drive near Mount Vernon R•ad.
Tuckerman told the PZC that the staff
needs a lot more information about the
softs on the lot to determine whether it is
conducive to building.
Weichsel, in response to a question
about water problems in that area, said
problemswere "the understatement of the
century." He said bufldlng on that land is
*very questionable" because it is a *very
difficult area." He said the town has performed extensive drainage work in that
area. He said he would not expect houses
to be butt there. Due to the soil content,
he did not think septic tanks would be
feasible for that area.
Town Engineer Tranqufllo said the
whole parcel will be subjected to extensive
engineering tests before work can be
done.
No action was taken on the application.
Special permit
The PZC also approved an amendment to the regulations exempting Community Service Cabinets for utilities from

Other action
In other action Tuesday night, the
PZC approved an amendment to their
mother-in-law/ accessory apartment
regulations. The amendment to the regulation requires a property owner to reapply for a special permit for the apartment
if the property should change hands.
When the regulation received its first
workout from Greg Brezicki of Hitchcock
Lane, the PZC wanted to make sure that
the mother-in-law apartment was not
used for rent income so they stipulated
that if the property is sold it must appear
before the PZC.
Town Planner Steve Tuckerman said
the PZC wanted an applicant to reapply to
ensure the apartment was used as desired by the regulations and not for specuLation. The new amendment eliminates
the need to stipulate the additional review
to each applicdtionVice-chalrwoman Dolores Longo
said, "It's a good amendment."
The amendment goes into effect 15
days a•er publication.
The PZC did approve another accessory apartment Tuesday night. R•ger and
Theresa Badgley of 123 Beechwood Drive
applied for an accessory apartment for
Mrs. Badgley's mother. The PZC approved
it 6-1 with Commissioner Adams the sole
no vote.
The engineer for Badgley, Jim Sakonchick, said the plan was to create a separate living quarters at the back of the
house. He said the front of the house will
not change so one could not tell there was
an apartment in the house, •The reguLations state the house with an apartment
should conform with the neighborhood.)
Total square footage of the apartment will
be 440 square feet. The rear and front
entrances will be shared between the
residents.
Tuckerman said he had received two
letters in opposition to the apartment.
Elizabeth'McKeon of Beechwood Drive
objected to it because she felt a bathroom
and bedroom would be su•cient for the
mother. There was no need for an apartment. In addition, she felt it was not in
conformance with the neighborhood.
('EBTII'II'ATE.• (}F IIEIqlS[T" Efh,ni•e Annual Yield
the special permit process.
Tuckerman explained that the PZC
has received a number of these applications recently. It is part of the new technology used by the telephone company for
telecommunication switching. He said
the original intent of the regulation was to
prevent the construction of "obnoxious"
structures. But the cabinets are "benign."
He said under the current regulations the
community service cabinets are "lumped
in with nuclear plants" which the PZC
would want to come in for a special permit.
The regulation limits the cabinets to
a size of 8 feet by 12 feet by 6 feet.
Essentially, Tuckerman said, the amendment will limit some of the commissions
paper work. The cabinets still have to
come in for site plan approval.
