raises
fines
for
handicapped parking
by James Gibbons
staff writer
The
Southtngton
Town
Council voted unanimously to
increase fines for motorists illegally parked in handicapped
parking spaces from $50 to
$99 The measure will go to
public hearing in August before
going into effect.
The 98 percent increase is
$14 higher than the state's
mandatory minimum fine for illegal parking in the reserved
spaces Since state legislation
leaves enforcement of the law in
the hands of local police departments, fines vary from town to
town The average fine for the
violation throughout the state is
$116.
Although he said that a fine
of up to $120 would be more
than Justified, citing the inconvenience imposed on disabled
citizens when unauthorized motorists park in their spaces,
l)anlel Chase called the $99
charge. "adequate "
The
wheelchair-bound
Chase is a member of the
town's Committee on the Handicapped. Two weeks ago he
asked council members to consider increasing the fine to at
least the state's minimum level
to act as a greater deterrent
against illegal parking.
"Let's face it. $99 is a pretty
heily hunk of change." said
Chase. "Once someone gets
pinched and has to pay that
fine , I think they will learn
their lesson."
Town Attorney Robert Izzo
explained that a fine less than
$I00 will make it easier for

An ex-navy man originally from
Slewm't. Fla, he admonished his listenera. "Get reconciled to God Get reconcried to other believers You're a waste
to God You could be one of George's
I000 points of light, but of no credit
with God," he said. urging his Listeners
to become ambassadors for Christ
Smith said he had Joined the Navy
as a young man because he heard rumors that it was all roses "People said
you'd be swimming every day "
Hls first day in the service, "Someone one yelled "Get in llne stupid,' It
was the nicest thing I heard for the
ne• 13 weeks, " he said.
"How easy it is to walk into something you're not ready for," he admonIshed
"The world tries to sneak up on you
and be your friend But the kingdom
(heaven) Io•ks good to me. There's ordy
a couple of things in this world I hate,
and I'm one of them," he added
"But I know God chose me. Man
I'm here ain't I? And I don't have to
please nobody but my savior."
-Amen- a_group of voices from t.he
back of the meeting house replied in
unison.
Ema.tth ended h£s sermon with the
son• "We Shall See the King Snme
Day."
He said he had come to Southington to preach at the camp meeting because.'tt's the orfly one of its kind in
the state of Connecticut. There are
some revivals but they are not geared to
a camp meeting, to preaching one week
and to camping out." he said of this
worship.
Smith has been a minister for six
years, but this was his first opportunity
to preach at a camp meeting he said,
After the congregation sang, "We
ShaLl See The King Some Day." the Rev
Rex Harrison sat at the piano Dressed
in a light colored suit. 10-gallon hat,
bole tie and snake skin boots. Harrison
belted out two hymns before delivering
his message. The colorful minster from

"Judge yourself." he suggested, " for
God chastens and scourges every son,"

him.
"Confess your sinfulness every day to

Harrison referred to the Bible text,

Parsons; a quiet leader in Rotary and business
For the friends and associates who
learned of the death of Stanley T.
"Sandy" Parsons II, it was a fitting
tribute that a memorial fund has been
established in his honor by the
Plainvflle Rotaxy. Parsons was a Iongtlme member and past president of the
Rotary Club.
Parsons, 42, who resided at 160
Saddlebrook Path. died July 17 from
injuries he sustained in a one-vehicle
accident on Flanders Road. According
to pollce, the van Parsons was driving
left the road and struck a tree. The accident occurred around 7 a.m., police
said.
Parsons was a vice president and
part owner of Parson Buick Co. in
Plainvllle. He was active on several
• civic orgardzations.
Alice "Dolly" Chamberlin, executive
director of the Plainville Chamber of
Commerce, said she knew Parsons as
one of the leaders of the Rotary, but
she knew him best as president in
1979-80 of the Plainvflle chamber.
*He was a very likeable person,"
Chamherlin said, adding that Paxsons
knew how to interact with the organization's members. One of the thlx•s that
Parsons wanted to do was to communicate more with the membership, she
Nicholas J. DePaola, chairman of
the Southington Town Council,
expressed sadness at the untimely
death of Parsons. He indicated Parsons
would be missed by the business community.
Joseph LaPlume. president of the
Bank of Southington, described Parsons as "a quiet man."
Parsons was a corporator of the
bank. LaPlume said that Parsons always went out his way to say hello to
him or to wave when they passed in the
parking lot.
Pauline Levesque, executive direotor of the Greater Southlngton Chamber, said she knew Parson because of
his work with Parsons Buick and his
participation in the Plainvflle Rotary. In
addition, Parson's brother, Steve, is active in Southington Rotary. Levesque,
too, is a member of the Southington
civic group.
Levesque said she was saddened to
hear of Sandy Parson's death. "He
aeemed like a quiet, gentle sort of person," she said.
She said that the Southington Rotary scat 24 of its mcmbere to the we.kc
Friday to pay respects to the Plainvflle
Rotarian. "The place was packed." she
said, noting that Parsons was well-respected in both towns he loved so
much.
The Rev. Gordon Ellis, pastor of
First Congregational Church, performed the burial service. He acknowledged that more than 800 people paid
their respects to Parsons Friday at Della Vecchia Funeral Home.
In addition, more than 400 attended the mass Saturday, venturing out in
near-100 degree heat. "You know he
was well-respected when that many
people show in the heat,• he said. The
church is not alr-conditioned.
Ellis said that Parson's life obvious-

ly touched many people. "A lot of community leaders were there," he said,
adding that a theme runnIl• through
the service was the PlainviIIe businessman's interest in helping the central
Connecticut region.
Parsons was born Jan. 28, 1949,
son of Mary Esther Me.Bride Parsons of
Faxmington and Key Colony Beach,
Fla. and the late Starfley T. Parsons. He
lived in Southington for the past 17

The water supply situation in Southington is not this dire, but the predicament of these major cities poInts up the finite nature of this resource and the
need for conservation.
Higher than normal temperatures with bellow-average rainfall have conspired to writ plants and brown lawns this month. The July dry spell has baked
the ground and turned lush lawns throughout town to straw.
The Water Department has asked residents to voluntarily curtail outside water use to odd/even days of the week. The request has been followed by most
residents, say department officials. However, others have placed a higher priority
on the aesthetic needs of their property than the common good this conservation
drive is intended to address.
The Water Department's request is not being made for lack of water While
demand has •been high duri•.• the most recent heat wave. daffy use, which
amour, pa slightly more than S million g,allons, has not cause a deficit in the
water gtofage tanks serving the department s 10,500 customers.
The system's safe daffy capacity is 6.9 million gallons. When demand exceeds
this point the storage tank levels begin to drop as the wells can not pump water
from the underground aquifer as quick as it is being used.
Water ofl•cisls are also concerned that unbridled water use would cause a
drop in fire flow levels to hydrants around town. The effect on fire protection
comes at a bad time of the year when conditions are ripe for brushfires.
Additionally, water pressure to homes in the east and west ridges would be
the first to drop when demand begins to exceed the supply.
Improvements to the water clistribution system is near completfon'. The work
included a I million-gallon storage tank on West Queen Street, and additional
well and Larger street mains. The work was designed to keep up with rising demand, not an excuse to use water foolishly.
We support the Water Department's request for conservation, their reasons
are sound The intent of the conservation effort is not to stop aft outside watering, it is a request to be more sensible when watering the lawn or washing the
family car Odd/even use means use is restricted to every other day - this can
hardly be considered a hardship.
The measure also addresses a larger issue; We can no longer take our drinking water for granted as an infinite, inexpensive resource. Our source of pure

A proposed state income tax falls short of tax reform
by James C. Laughlin, Ph.D,
With the passage of a remodeled
conventional tax plan and another veto
Likely by a non-compromising governor
who insists on a state income tax, I offer the following points in support of
the majority of legislators and constituents who favor a conventional tax
package.
1. The Governor's 1991-92 Budget
Summary indicates that the present individual tax structure is regreaslv•e up
to $75,000 of family income but progressive thereafter. With a fiat 6 percent income tax and a 4.25 percent
sales tax, the incidence of taxes is progressive up to about $20,000 but become proportional thereafter, with each
family paying about 4 3 percent of its
income in state taxes. This poor tax
distribution results because the
wealthy, who now pay 7 percent capital
gains tax and 14 percent on interest
and dividends, would see that rate reduced to 6 percent. Is this meaningful
tax reform? Also, any graduated income tax plan that caps the top
margttml tax bracket below these two
rates lessens progressivity for the
2 Is tax reform necessary? The
main arguments for change rest on the
regressivity of sales taxes, the need to
stimulate business activity and the desire to avoid future deficits through tax
revenue stability. Although sales taxes
are regressive, a complete analysis requires that the distribution of benefits
(i.e. cxpendltures) from revenues generated must also be considered.
Economists refer to this as "net fiscal
incidence." A past study of Connecticut
state and local net fiscal incidence indicates that a progressive net fiscal incidence exists, with lower income groups
receiving from $2 to $4 of benefits for
each $ l paid in taxes while the highest
income group receives only $.72 in
benefits for each $ I paid in taxes. One
frequently hears criticism of sales and
excise taxes because they tend to be regressive. But if the benefits they finance are progressive, should these
taxes be Judged inequitable? I think
not.
3. Although several studies have indicated that an investment tax credit
has had a substantial impact on investment, business activity and employment, evidence suggests that low-
ering corporate tax rates has a negLigible effect on investment. The 1964 decrease in federal corporate tax rates is
a case in point Stockholders are more
•ikely beneficiaries of lower corporate
tax rates. Furthermore, a permanent
state income tax is sure to have a deleterious effect on business activity
through decreased consumer spending.
4. In terms of the responsiveness of
taxes to changes in personal income,
-general sales tax elasticity tends to be
approximately 1.0 compared to 1.65 for
state personal income taxes. This implies that state personal income tax
revenues will fluctuate more than sales
tax revenues over the course of the
business cycle In the current deep recession personal income tax revenues
would fall even further than sales tax
revenues, creating an even greater
state deficit.
As a solution to the state deficit, I
suggest a two-year surcharge based on
federal tax liability. By piggybacking
this surcharge on federal tax, individuals would receive their fair deductions
and exemptions which would not be received if taxed on the Weicker based
adjusted gross income. In addition, a
temporary tax surcharge, by affecting
individuals" "transitory income," (as occurred at the fdderal level between
1968 and 1970) would have a negligible
impact on consumer spending. And two
years from now with prosperity and
sales tax revenues up. there no longer
will be a need for debate about a state
income tax.

There's always someone to talk to
and always something to do
in
Southington. I'm convinced Southington has the nicest people.
I have to thank the mystery visitor
who left the zucchini with the yellow
ribbon on it at the office, last Friday. It
was the best column response rye ever
received. Also thank- you Sherry Leone
for the bunch of recipes.
I told my aunt. Sarah Testa, I had
the recipe for the chocolate zucchini
cookies. Help me out here. Jan Casella
and send the treasured heirloom recipe
my way so I can sllp it to her without
being found out.
Meanwhile, up _at Mar• Ota- Queen
Church. I bumped into John McNassor.
He is always so delightful. He said the
column about the Rev. John
Blanchfteld really kept his interest. I
asked if he had known of the priest.
McNassor answered no, but he just
liked the style of the story. That made
my day.
Off in Cheshire at a picnic on Sunday my husband Albert and I gut acquainted with Butch and Helen
Archangelo. She is active with Catholic
Family Services. He has a lively interest
in high school sports.
They live close by us. One of their
children was a student in my husband's fifth grade class, not too long
ago. But we had never had the opportunity to taLk to them about common
interests and values.

people of their caliber working with our
youngsters. They make excellent role
models.
So everything isn't perfect every day
here. But there is so much good stuff
happening. It's worth the effort to find
out about service clubs and social organizations to get involved.
When fall roles around, why not
think of volunteering one evening a
month to one of the lively groups above
or to some other worthwhile charity
that does something good for our communlty.
And if I do see you at some meeting,
I'd love to sit and chat and listen to
what you are thinking about this town.

Policy over people chosen in SRS site
To the editor:
On behalf of the Southington Association for the Environment l would
like to thank all the concerned and
supportive residents who attended the
July 18th EPA Informational Meeting
about the SIRS clean-up. Many important issues were discussed and clarified at the meeting.
One of my own concerns involved
safety and security at and around the
SR• site. While the area along the
Qutnnipiac River near SRS is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and attractive
as a meeting place for older children
and teens in the neighborhood, it does
pose a danger and should be avoided at
all costs.
Unfortunately, our Town Council
has not urged Dr. Blumer, the Health
Director, to issue a health directive addressing the danger of congregating in
this area despite SAFE's request before
the Town Council to do so. I again
broached this subject at the July 18th
meeting with the EPA. Mr. Weichsel re-fused again, •-ene•ta•age the Isst•anee
of a health directive regarding safety
and security around SRS because it
"does not pose an imminent health
risk." EPA and our state Health Department stated at the meeting that this
safety/securRy dilemma is out of their
Jurisdiction.
The reality of the situation is that
children play in the river and kick up
the contaminated soft in that area on
dirt bikes and AVTs NUS has equipment and apparatus at the site that
may pose a danger tf tampered with.
Members of SAFE who regularly make,
visits to the site were asked by NUS
employees to tell the parents and kids
in our neighborhood to "stay away from
thcrcF We had ,hoped towr• officials
would be more concerned about the
neighborhood, but it seems policy takes
precedence over people in Southington
today.
Merrill S. Hohman, the director of
EPA's -Waste Wianag•nent division issued a written statement to me
Thurada• night's meeting and it reads
as follows:
EPA has noted that children occaslona• wander onto the SRS site and
the adjacent property. Although we
have not found chemical levels at the
surface high enough to be of immediate
concern, we do ask that parents discourage their children from wandering
onto the site We have extensive activity, such as drilling wells, driving vehicles, ect. which could physically harm
anyone not trained to work on sites as
SRS.

The state income tax debate
mat ter ofprinciples, not personalities
by Rep. Edwa•-'d C. Krawiekl, Jr.
State House Mi.uori•-y L•ader
Throughout his many years of publlc scrricc, Lowell Weicker has stood
firmly by his convictions, often taking
an unpopular stand and then never
straying from it.
°
This insistence to stand firm and
resist compromise could have been
considered an admirable trait for United States Senator Lowell Weicker. However. for Governor LoweLl Weicker, the
resistance to accept compromise has
resulted in the current budget stalemate at the State Capitol.
The gridlock the governor has created with the General Assembly has led
some to conclude that the income tax
debate is a battle between personali-
ties, with income tax opponents seeking nothing more than to embarrass
the governor Nothhng •ould be •er
from the truth
In 1976, when he was serving in
the United States Senate, Lowell Weicker took time from him own re-electlon
campaign to come to Bristol and campaign with a young candidate making
his first bid for the Legislature. I was
that candidate, and I still appreciate
that help. Lowell Weicker was a friend
then, and Lowell Weicker is a friend today.
The fact Lowell Weicker is a friend.
however, in no way means that we cannot disagree on issues such as the income tax The debate over a personal
income tax is a debate over publlc poll-
cy and prLnciples. My opposition to an
income tax is based on strongly held
philosophical beliefs, not on any personal or political agenda.
The last thing Connecticut needs to
do in a recession is to enact a tax that
will directly siphon disposable income
from the economy by drawing from the
paychecks of working and middle-class
people. The focus of our state government should not be on trying to find a

A crisis exists in the absence of an income tax
To the editor:
Twenty years of involvement With
a taxpayer group in Southington on
behalf of its taxpayers allows one to
enter into the discussion on the
need for a [state] income tax. Legislators should consider it for the
main reason that the present crisis
in Connecticut does exist - without
an income taxl We don't have an income tax, but the fiscal crisis we do
havel
May I express some thoughts
(reasons} about this issue? July 1

but property taxes still were Increased. The reason often given is
the state's reduction of financial aid
to its towns and cities. The state
collects most of its revenue from
sales tax: One reason that makea no
sense to oppose an income tax is
that sales tax can be avoided by not
purchasing an article, scrvlcc, cct.
Reduction of consumer needs reduces sales tax revenues.
But what can one do in place of
a property tax? Whether one retires
to a fixed income, or one loses his

.ug•r=,•l •,• duce the property tax.
Support of an income tax for 20
years has not changed. It has been
reinforced by the present state - and
local - financial crunch. Let's try the
fair way to tax people - on the abfllty to pay.
The solution is not eliminating
more Jobs and services. Solve the
crisis by reducing the dependence
on bonding and borrowing; revise
the costly leasing practices of the
state; and avoid the costly legal expenses and costly consultants.
These, and other known practices
have eroded the fiscal ability to provide services to state taxpayers.
Let's face the truth. The S&L
mentality breeds and fosters fiscal
and financial irresponsibility on all
levels. Let's forget for now the sermon and provide a solution. Let's
give the "ability to pay" a serious try
with less reliance on property tax,
sales tax or the myriad of other taxes. Please do not procrastinate any
longer.

Let me get this r•htt Mr. Giammattee wants a zone change to "revitalize"
200 lives that don't need it. The Planning and Zoning Commission give• the

The second meeting is scheduled
for Ju.ly 16. No vacation period, no delays, no Mr Giammatteo either. Why?
Because he had already been informed

Recycling
program will
be a success
without Mill
Street center
To the editor:
I would like to respond to your
recent erroneous ecHtortal about the
recycling program.
In the first place, the deadline
for recycling was January 1991, not
the date you mentioned.
Closing the Mill Street Center
was appropriate because citizens
can now accumulate recyclables in
the three-week period leading up to
August 5th.
You will find that the only corn-"
plaint about the Mill Street Center
were people who have not previously
hired a collector. They are using the
recycling center to avoid a garbage
bill.
You suggest that the Mill Street
building be used for the hazardous
household collection. This is totally
inappropriate. The collection is near
Well #1 and such a use would be
dangerous, not to mention illegal.
A• to your suggest_ton for a contingency plan. that also is foolish.
We want the plan to be run professionally, and smoothly. If we told
people to use peach baskets, some
would and some wo•d not comply.
and we would have cl•aos.
The color-coded pails will make
the program a success. As to the
$5994 penalty. I do not intend to
pay that and I intend to deduct that
from the bill for the pails.
I am confident our recycling program will work.

expects voters to pay closer attention than ever to
the local candidates to be sure they are not being.
"nickeled and dlmed."
The races will be.business as usual for the
Democrats, said Edward Rich, the party's chairman.'We're campaigning all the time." Rich is
quick to point out that the most important campaign credential is experience.
"We start campaigning right after each electlon." added Dolores Longo, the Democrats' nominating committee chairwoman and a nominee to
retain her seat on the Planning and Zoning Commission. "Your service to the town is part of your
campaign and we believe [the Democrats'] record
speaks for itself"
With the top two Democrats stepping down
from the oouncfl this year. however, Rich will focus
on the
accomplishments
of council
Democrats rather than individuals
Nicholas DePaola, council chairman and Kyle
Meccarle/kn cflLmcil vice €/mir. have 4•oth announced they will not seek re-election in Novemher. Both men cited personal and business commitments that have made it impossible to devote
the necessary time to serve on the council.
The Democrats have nominated 17 incumbents to retain their seats, including the remaining four town council members who are seeking
re-electlon. The Republicans have countered by
endorsing the candidacy of 11 veteran leaders, inclutltng en•,nril_ tn_o;mh•_n_t's Mdcb-ael _a_ Ress! St.,
and Andrew J. •e. Republican Cheryl L•urmbury will not run for re-election as she • cited
personal and business concerns.
One Republican. who is currently a member
of the Board of Education. David W. Forrest, has
gotten the nod as one of the GOP's six candidates
to the town council.
While the Republicans try to regain the majority they held on the council prior to the 1989
election, the Democrats will be concentrating on
gaining control of the Board of Education, where
the GOP holds a 5-4 majority.
"They're all important," said Longo. "But I
think the school board is the one that we'll have
our eyes on the most."
Longo said that the Democrats are confident
that they can retain control of the council sire
said by gaining a majority on the Board of Education. they can open up the lines of communication between the two bodies. The contrasting maJorities has caused tension between the BOE and
the council for the past tw• years, she asserted.
The llst of all candidates seeking office will increase further this year with the Southington
chapter of A Connecticu{ Party (ACP). ACP was
formed last summer to facilitate Gov. Lowell P
Weicker Jr.'s election. Thomas Verchinski the
chairman of the 21-member Town ACP Committee, said the party has yet to announce candidates for the local seats

As temperatures and humidity climbed last
week the emergency room at Bradley Memorial
Hospital saw fewer than expected weather-related
ailments. Dr. John Scarfo. director of emergency
services, reported a few cases of minor heat exhaustion that were treated with intravenous fluids and rest.
Medical warnings to people with heart and
respiratory problems predate medicines developed for the treatment of florid congestive heart
failure, he said. While the warnings are well intentioned, he described them as part of medical
history with little application today

The water system has pumped out more than
6 million gallons per day over the past week t•
10,500 customers. About 6 9 million gallons per
day is the system's capacity and beyond that

months amounts to about 4 million gallons per

The lack of rain has not yet effected the underground water supply the town draws on, said
Fox
The water department asked residents to voluntarily conserve water through the summer
months by restricting outside to odd/even calendar days coinciding with the number of their
