Crossing guard James D 'Angelo
(continued from page I •
came to this country m
December. 1923, has
worked for more than 30
years at Pexto Co
where thousands of
Southington residdnts
were employed before it
went out of business He
was
custodian
at
Holcomb Elementary
School from 1954 to 1972
He served as school
crossing guard from
1959 through the 1983-84
school year
While at Pexto, whmh
employed more than
1,500 persons at its
busiest peak, he handled
many positions and
served as supervisor for
many years.
"I enjoyed working at
Pexto and especially at
the Holcomb School, but
my experiences as a
school crossing guard
will always be cherished" °the proud U.S.
citizen said.
"I never had any problems with anyone as a
crossing guard and
everybody displayed
considerable respect tome
Some of the
students that I helped
cross the street when
they were attending
local schools in the
1960's continue to say
hello when they are bringing their children to
school for the first time
And during the past
several years I am helping these youngsters
cross the street walking
to school," he pointed
out
"This m a great country because there are
opportunities for everyone to work for a living," D'Angelo said.
Born m Caserta, Italy
m 1899, he came to
SoutMngton in December 1923 when his brother,, the late Alphonso D Angelo, father of
Southington High School
Athletic Director and
head grid coach Dominic D'Angelo, sponsored h•m to come here
D'Angelo doesn't
recall memories of his
mother because she
died when he was two
years old. He lost his
father m 1925, two years
after he le2t Italy. He
had promised to visit his
father when he left
Caserta, but his untimely death shocked him
As a result of the
tragedy, he never took a
trip back to Italy.
When the Beecher
Street resident came to
the United States, he
couldn't speak Enghsh
and attended LincolnLewis High School for
four years. Thin was the
extent of his education
in this country and
gradually learned the
English language by
talking to Southington
residents
Before coming to
Southlngton, D'Angelo
worked very hard on
Italian farrns for many
hours and even served
in the Italian Army during World War I. He
served in the Army for
four years and is still
receiwng
military
retirement
pension
from the Italian govern-
ment twice a year
He is the only surviving member of the family that once had seven
boys and four girls
,A. hard-working man,
D Angelo decided to get
married in 1928 and wed
the
former
Jennie
DellaVecchia, the late
sister of former State
Representative Arthur
DellaVecchia She died
in 1978
The D'Angelo's have
four children, three
boys and a daughter.
The sons are all in the
edueahonal field and
the daughter Mrs Barbara Pesce, a resident
of Prospect St., Southlngton, is a word processor for Northeast
Utilities
Jim D'Angelo, a restdent of Cedar Drive, is a
professor at Central

University

D'Angelo, of Jeffery
Lane, Menden, is the
prinmpal of John Barry
Elementary School in
Meriden and Robert
D'An.gelo, 96 Beecher
St, is a teacher at
Plantsvdle Elementary
School
Mr D'Angelo has one
greatgrand child, seven
grandchildren,
five
nephews
and
four
neices, all local and
area residents In adds-
tlon, he has two sisters
in-laws in Italy, both in
their 90's, whom he has
never seen
"My first obligation to
my children was to work
hard and make enough
money to send them to
college." D'Angelo said.
"They graduated from
colleges and I am very
proud of them because
they are going real
fine," he added.
The retired school
crossing guard has lived
In several locations in
Southmgton, and has
made his present
residence on Beecher
Street for 46 years.
The D'Angelo family
is considered one of the
most prominent Italian
family m Southmgton
The family includes professlonals
in
the
medical, education and
the business fields
"We hold reunions
regularly and enjoy
ourselves and talk of the
past 40 years" the eldest
of the family added
At ,age 85, Mr
D'Angelo is still very active at home and maintalns a vegetable and
fruit garden m the rear
of his property He feels
very fine and keeps
himself busy daily and
enjoys whatever he

Don't forget referendum
Oh, there will be many who will indeed
forget the referendum this coming Tuesday, August 28 Many more will clatni they
x• eren't informed as to the issue at hand
Historically, residents lUSt, don't turn out
for referendums They don t turn out en
masse for any other issues, either It's the
nature of the beast
Well, for the tmmformed, this referendum
will put the CwcuR-Breaker ordinance on
the line, once and for all In general, this
program would offer property tax relief to
seniors 65 and aver w•th aa income of no
more than $14,800 per year, and who reside
in town at least 250 days of the year
Those who feel strongly for and against
the issue have come out aggressively with
their feelings Our Opinion and Comment
pages have earned several letters and
speaking outs dealing with the controversml program
As usual, politics rears its head The
Democrats are clearly in favor of the proi•ram which has been forwarded by
emocratlc Town Councilman James
Korenklewlcz The Republicans are against
it, with the GOP getting some 1,200
signatures on a petition requesting the
referendum
It has been a long time since we have had
such response on an issue This is indeed a
hot one
The Republicans had hoped for a referendum date after Labor Day when more
residents would be back from their vacations to head for the polls T.h.e Democrats
have claimed it really doosn t make much
difference
Both sides have come up with some interesting reasons for their feelings on the
Cwcmt-Breaker proposal
How can one take a side against the senior
citizens • Pretty hard But the Republicans
do make some sense, Their feeling is. there
are many who don t really need the tax
break And it's going to cost the town big
bucks do•n the hne
The fact there is no limit on assetsowned
by a senior c•hzen rankles the GOP Quite
frankly, feel the Republicans, the rich will
get richer at the expense of the town And
many of the senior citizens who genuinely
deserve the tax break •1 pay more taxes
to cover the program, with some not even
eligible
The Republicans have asked the program
be refined so that only those desperately in
need are qualified
The GOP ha,• also questioned the lack of a
lien provision in the Circuit-Breaker propposal This would allow the town to collec.t
Its deferred taxes when a senior citizen s

Senio homeowners deserve tax relief
One year ago IAug 1983),

Calendar House by several
seniors, that they were haymga difficult time with their
property tax bills since
revahiatmn and were worried about losing their
homes. At the present Ume.

assmtance through the State
"circuit breaker" program.
However, even with the State
assistance, many seniors
were experiencing up to $300
increases in their tax hills
with many only reeeiwng
Social Security benefits.
After having this situation
remforced by a member of
the seuthmgton Taxpayers
Association at the AugUSt
1983 Senior Citizens Commisstun Meeting, the Commission directedme to research
if there were any alternatives for these people. In
my research, I found that

Southington Fair fabulous
A sure,sign the summer is winding down
comes each late August with the news the
Southington Fair has arrived This Saturday and Sunday the Southmgton Grange
will sponsor its 34th annual Fair on the corner of Knowles Ave and Summit St
Thirty-four years is a long time to keep a

as done so with a quality occasion such as
their Fair drawing residents from all over
the area Entertainment, rides, games, raffles, barbeques, along with fruit and
vegetable auctions offer something for
every member of the family It is good,
clean fun -- a bit of the past. No smacking of
plastic commercialism here.
The South•ngton Grange has dedicatqd its
Fair Book this year to the late Gilbert W
Gelger, who worked hard for years to make
the Fair a huge success The Texas native
moved to town some 30 years ago and
became an outstanding citizen w•th
membership in the Grange as well as the
American Leg•on Post 72 and Polish Roman
Catholic Gudd

The Southlngton Grange's dedication of its

which to honor the late member of the

129N of the Connecticut
General Statutes. At that
point. I found that the town ef
Stratford had recently initiated a local "Circuit
Breaker" program I then
met with the Calendar House
Legislation Committee and
the semor Commission and
exchanged ideas. I then proposed holding an open forum
on the issue of a Local C•rcmt
Breaker on October 4th in
19•3 which was well attended
by semors and included
statements and presentations by the Assessor.
Members of the Town Council, the Town Manager, and
interested seniors
There
was considerable discussion
on the Stratford plan, the
seniors plan which included
renters, and the lien optmn
The end result of the forum
was that the Town Council
Chairman would select a
Committee to rewew the op-"
tion of a local "Circuit
Breaker" in greater detail
The Committee appointed
shortly after that, consisted
of Councilman James
Korenklewicz, Senior Commission members Douglas
Topshe, and Roy. Joseph
German. Calendar HoUSe
Legislative Chairman John
Nescone, and myself. We
met several times during the
winter and studied many proposals that were operating in
other towns and then proposed an ordinance for Southington based on our studies I beheve that document was well
thought out and well addressed the needs of the targeted
elderly After considerable
debate by the public and
Council members, a compromised proposal was
adopted which is still a good
plan
The targeted group of
seniors who are under $14.800
and meet the other requirements will benefit from
this
program
Risin•
medical costs, mcreaseo
utility bills recent doubling
of rubbish expenses due to
the landfill closing, high food
costs is difficult enough for a
senior on a fixed income and
when you add the burden of a
tax bill doubling and tripling
since revaluation, there is
jUSt not enough to pay all of
those bills, so we need a program such as this to aid our
low hncom•hig-h e.xpem•.e
seniors. Seniors should not
have to make decisions abeut
cutting back their health
care or nutrition or losing
their homes because they
can't pay their property tax
bills. A good program such
as this will enable them to
keep their dignity, help keep
their independence and con•inue to stay in the
mainstream of society. Let's
not take that privilege away
-- vote yes to adopt the Ordinance Providing Tax Relief For Senior Homeowners.

serves hot meals at noon

at these different parts which
make up Calendar.House
With increasing age,
health related problems tend

cannot stop the aging process, nor do we want to, we
can assist older people
through preventative health

month. There is also a complete health screening given

This program which includes
blood tests, electrocardiograms, blood pressure, url-.

Also special programs on

25 people gathered
together to form Concerned Citizens about

Our concern is to stop
the deaths and injuries
caused by the drunken

- .
James Senlch, editor of The Observer,
Southington High School head baseball
coach John Fontana and Gerry Massarelh,
a member of the Northern Senior Little
Leagues, will select the winner from a list
of qualified candidates
The candidates must have played in the
Northern Senior Little League program,
al•d the Southlngton High School baseball
squad and planning to further his education In College
Bator played for the Northern Senior
Little League and the Blue Knights
diamonders before he was fatally injured
in a motor V•hl¢loaccident in Southington
in November, 19•2 at the age of 20.
The winner of the first Bator Scholarship
was Kevln Meier. a student at the University of Connecticut
Dibble-Raczka
Continuing on baseball, Rob Dibble, who
pitched for the Blue Knights several years
ago, is doing very well for the Cincinnati
Reds Class A farm team in Tampa
Florida. He has hurled more than 40 innings and was victorious four times in his
first five decisions His ERA •earned run
average) was well under 300 at this
writing
Another former Blue Knight hurler Mike
Raczka. who was the ace of the University
of New Haven pitching staff this past
season, is holding his own as a member of
the Baltimore Orioles Class A farm team
at Hagerstown, Maryland Although he
won only one game in his first six decisions, he has struck out 35 in the first 40 innings on the mound He apparently has
recovered from a slight elbow injury His
superiors have reportedly been impressed
with his work
Teaching Umpire
There are very few female college-bred
educators enjoying good classroom size
and huge audiences in the educational field
as well as competitive athletic competition
throughout the entire year
There are only a handful of secondary
school teachers who are also considered
outstanding professionals on the athletic
fields and well-versed in a number of interscholastic athletics
There is one that meets all these requirements in the City of Progress and she
is Sharon Kennedy, a Southington native,
who is the only female softball umpire in
the community that ever was invited to
umpire m the recently concluded New
England Reglonals Amateur Softball
Association Women's Class A Slow-Pitch
Tournament in Providence, R I
s
The tournament, which took place from
Aug, 17-19, was the biggest challenge in
her umpiring career "I loved it very much
and it was quite an experience for me in
my five )ear umplrmg career, "Miss Kennedy said
The local resident who teaches at John
F Kennedy and Joseph A DePaolo Junior
High Schools. was invited to umpire in the
New Englands in early July+because she
was very impressive in performing the
same duties in the Connecticut Women's
"'Teaching and umplrln$ keep• me very
busy year-round,'" she said
She also referees • ()[leyball and basketball In lntecscholast•c competition after
school hours from September thrnugh
March and then resumes her hectic softball umpiring career in file •oidhmgton
Parks and Recreation Mews Sottball
League from late April to earl) ,•ugust
Besides working in the to•n softball cwcult, she umpired in numerous •eekend
tournaments in Plalnwlle doting the
season
A graduate of Southern ('onnect•cut
State University with a B S degree and a
Masters Degree from Central Connecticut
State University. Miss Kenned.• said she
doesn't have any preference in umpiring
fast or slow pitch She is mvol•ed •lth last

Athletic Conference • CIA(" • and slo• pitch
in other softball league• m the ecm•m, ut?•t.x
and the region
Being a very avid sports instructor, she
coached at Farmlngton lhgh School in
badminton in the fall, basketball in the
winter and tennis in the •prlng about flve
years ago "I enjoy being ver•, busy in
organized recreation and get tremendous
satisfaction in every, aspect of the gaines."
she added
In her five years as a sottball arbiter.
she has been forced to throw only three
persons out of the game in men's softball
competition Two players were tossed out
for questioning calls abuslxely and
another was given the heave-ho tor ar•u
mg while intoxicated, slie added
This season was the busiest of her hveyear softball umpiring career as she was
involved in more than 150 games, practically the same number of games major
league baseball teams participate in during a regular season In past )ear'+. •he
would umpire in about 1 lo game•
Umpiring may sound easy. but "We
have to handle the ball and strike duties as
well as all the decisions on the bases as
well," she points out Often times during
school sesslons, her xvork da•,' Ul•olve•

She credits Art l,edoux, a veteran qoft
ball umpire from Southington fol nian.x
years, for her success as an umpire
"He played a large.role m geltlng me •nvoived m umpira• mo•e than five years
ago He encouraged and supported me and
was always available for assistance in
everyphase of the umpwmg profesmon He
also offered me constructive cr•hc•in and
taught me the finer points of ump.'mg."
she pointed out
"As a family friend. I was able to attend
national umpiring classes with him when it
was conducted in Ccli•l•ocHclll •o•eral
years ago". she added
Umpires in the local softball leagues
were called upon to work behind theplate
even though one umpire wa• asslgnedto a
