Southington's "re-birth" nead, says Bergin 

by Frank J. Poirat 

editor in chief 

The coming decade Is seen as a "rebirth" 

for Southlngton. a period in 

which the planning and zoning commission 

is expected to play a major 

role, said Martin J. Bergin, Democratic 

candidate for a seat on the commission. 

A new town planner, completion of 

the master plan of development, and 

newly-elected commissioners add up to 

a "unique opportunity" for the 1990's. 

he asserted 

Bergin. owner of Bergin Hallahan 

Funeral Home in Plantsvilie. was born 

and raised In Waterbury, and moved 

here from New Britain nine years ago. 

Even so, his roots run deep m the 

community. His great grandfather. 

Martin Bergin, settled in Southington 

in 1865, and he said he Is picking up 

what was started here three generatlons 

ago. 

Another cycle Bergin sees nearing 

completion is where people live and 

work. "Southington was once known 

as a bedroom town. That's turning 

around with the executive park on 

West Street. People can live and work 

in the same town," he said. 

Bergin said he has "an open mind" 

on the question of raising the height 

restriction in town zoning regulations 

to accommodate high rise buildings.

Top issues hinge on master plan 

The master plan of development 

for the town is the key issue for Art 

Gautier, Democratic candidate for 

the planning and zoning commission. 

The second most Important Issue 

is following it once completed. 

Gaudet, a benefits representative 

for the United Auto Workers at New 

Departure in Bristol. said he favors 

a balane¢ growth for the town. and 

the master plfin will plot the course. 

For the past three months 

Gaudet has served as an alternate 

to the commission, lie served a full 

term in 1982. he said 

"I've always liked politics and it's 

a pleasure to have something to do 

with the growth of town," he stud of 

his reason for running. 

One of the first Issues Gautier 

sat in on as a PZC alternate was 

whether or not to allow an applica- 

tlon for a mother-in-law apartment. 

He said he favors the tdea providing 

the plan includes common access 

and an agreement that the kitchen 

is removed when the family member 

moves from the apartment. 

The senior housing in town "is 

stretched" to capacity, he said 

These apartments could relieve 

some of the demand for public 

units. 

On the issue of affordable housing. 

Gaudet explains that land 

costs play a major role in the fl 

nal cost of a home and doubts 

it is practical to build new affordable 

homes in Southington 

"You're not going to put a 

$I00.000 house in the northwest 

end with two acre zoning." 

he said,

rated to the town for much of his llfe 

"Southington is fortunate to have a number 

of these people" She said that their 

knowledge of the town and its politics Is 

vaiuable resource. 

Over the years Daley served on many 

boards in Southington. From 1958 to 

1966, he was on the representative town 

meeting form of government that preceded 

the town council lie served as moder 

ator of this group for several years. 

When the town made the change in 

the council-manager form of government, 

Daley served several terms on the coun 

cil. During many of the years of Democratic 

control, Daley became chairman of 

the legislative body 

But Daley was best-known as chairman 

of the Democratic party, a post that 

he held for the past several years. He resigned 

during the summer, replaced by 

former state Rep Gerald P. Crean Jr.. a 

Daley protege. Local Democrats said that 

Daley wanted the party to gear up for the 

1989 local elections. 

Crean said Daley was a tremendous 

asset to the party because of a good 

memory of events that happened 20 or 30 

years ago. "Often. you could look it up in 

the minutes of the meeting and find that 

John was nearly 100 percent correct in 

his recollections." Crean said. 

"He had a wonderful knowledge of the 

town and knew how to use it." Crean 

said, noting that his mentor oRen took it 

upon himself to help youngsters get 

started in politics. In Southington. there 

are hundreds of Daley proteges- in both 

parties Daley took those who Jumped 

ship to the Republican side with sarcastic 

humor He weathered it all. Some 

Democrats joked that those were the 

ones that "got away." 

Crean said that when he took over 

the chairmanship of the party, it was a 

tough moment, bdcause it was hard for 

Daley to step down. 

Crean sald that Daley wanted to llve 

to see the results of the '89 elections, but 

missed t by a httle over two weeks. "I 

saw him a week and a half ago. He was 

still Joking He still had his wit." 

Town Councilman Kyle Meccariello 

was a Republican who became a Daley 

Democrat In 1985, at the age of 21. he 

was elected to his first term on the legislative 

body 

"lie knew that the Democratic Party 

had to change new blood had to be 

brought in." he said. Daley was grooming 

those who would be on the scene during 

the 1990s and after the turn of the century 

Meccariello said that Daley, who was 

an avid sportsman, knew the value of 

team effort. "lle was our Vinee Lombardl." 

he said, referring to the legendary 

coach of the Green Bay Packers. "I feel as 

ff I am his Bart Start (the Packers" quarterback) 

" 

In addition In serving on the legislatlve 

bodies, Dalev was part of the group 

that fought to'obtaln lights for the 

Southinglon High School baseball field. 

Former State Rep. James Clynes said 

Daley fought tooth-and-nail for the establishment 

of the senior citizens center in 

1969. "Without John Daley. there would 

have been no Calendar House. He was a 

great fi'iend to the senior citizen," he said. 

John Fontana, coach of the Southington 

High School baseball team, said that 

Daley certainly was an avid sportsman. 

"Anytline I wanted to do anything, I 

would go to John He never said, 'No.'" 

Earlier in the year, the Baseball Hall 

of Fame at Southington High School honored 

Daley with a special achievement 

award for his behind-the-scenes work. 

Fontana sald Daley was unable to attend 

the ceremony because of his illness. 

The committee sent a copy of the v deo 

for the evening and the award. "He was 

very appreciative." Fontana sald. 

James J. Senich. former edltor-lnchief 

of The Observe . said that there wore 

two sides to John Daley- the hardboiled, 

tough politician and the "warmhearted 

Indivldual who had Southingion's 

best interests at heart." 

"tte was an astute politician," Senich 

said, noting that Daley honestly felt that 

the Democrats could make the town. 

state and world a better place. 

The Southingtoa Town Council honored 

Daley Saturday with a special 

proclamatlon for lifetime service. 

It turned out to be the last official 

honor for the man who was at the helm 

of the local Democratic party for nearly 

20 years. Town Council Chairman Andrew 

Meade and Councilman Nicholas 

DePaola traveled to the Veterans Administration 

Medical Center in Newington ta 

give the framed award to Daley. "He was 

happy to receive the award. It meant a lot 

to him. He cried. I was touched," Meade 

said. 

Former Southington Circuit Court 

Judge Stephen Elliott St. was Daley's 

mentor and friend when the younger man 

came to town during the 1950s. 

"He was a very astute politician and a 

man of great principle," Elllott said, noting 

that he admired Daley. "He was dedicated 

to the community" 

J. Robert Britton Sr. served with Daley 

on the representative town meeting 

and the council. "He was our leadership," 

he sald. 

Britton said Daley cared deeply for 

Southington, "He was a great man, a 

humble man." 

During the last few years. Britton 

served with Daley in the local Elks orga-

nizatlon. Britton is the current exalted 

ruler of the group. "He was a big help to 

the Elks. He helped us get out of our doldrums." 

As a result, the Elks held a special 

ceremony Tuesday to honor Daley. Btitton 

said the ceremony was one usually 

reserved for exalted rulers. Britton said 

the Elks also planned to send a contingent 

to the funeral home. 

Meade, a Republican, has a background 

similar to Daley's. They both 

served as chiefs of their parties. They 

both have been on the councft. 

"There have been many times I didn't 

agree with him, but I respect him," Meade 

said, adding that he was happy that the 

town got to honor him Saturday. 

Meade said that Daley was one of 

those politicians who knew how to argue 

effectively. "No matter how hot it got. he 

was there." he added. 

Meade said the mark of a politician is 

the ability to take the heat of politics. 

"You serve and you do what you think is 

right." Daley was one of those individuals. 

Southington was number one with 

him. 

Republlcan Town Committee Chairman 

Joseph C. Markley said, "I can't 

think of anyone who gave more !o the 

town." 

Markley said that Southington will 

miss a man the calibre of John Daley. "I 

don't think you can look at him as a campaign 

sort of individual. He was involved 

deeply in the town." 

Markley, a former state senator, said 

that since he's been In politics, Daley's 

been a *pervasive influence" 

State Rep. Angelo Fusco. Ro81st 

Dist., said Daley was "one of the most important 

leaders in Southington history." 

He sald Daley had "keen leadership 

ability." and will be remembered for his 

fine character "We are witnessing the end 

of an era," Fusco said. "It's a sad day for 

Southington when a great leader passes 

on."

sluggish real estate market. 

"Surely the real estate market is drying 

up. so to speak, said Southinmnn 

Savings Bank's Senior Vice-presi ent 

Betty McKeon. "But It's cyclical, I expect 

an upswing soon." 

Analysts have expressed a sadder tale, 

however. What has happened in New 

England is made even more apparent by 

real estate booms in other parts of the 

country a boom followed by an extremely 

soft market. Developers are faced 

with a glut of finished and haft-finished 

properties - and lending institutions are 

handcuffed by bad loans. 

With money available, builders began 

raising structures at a feverish pace in 

New England. And the profitable condomlnium 

became not only a trend for firsttime 

homeowners, but fast fortunes for 

developers. However, steadily rising housing 

costs and changes in federal tax laws 

have taken the glitter off condominium 

owaershlp - and young home shoppers 

are taking a more cautions approach. 

Two years ago. Bank of Boston 

Branch Manager Da e Jones, called 

Southington an extremely attractive location 

for banks to open offices. 

"Ifs attractive because of the influx of 

commerclal customers." Jones said. "and 

the influx of upper middle class people 

with incomes upward to $I00.000 - people 

that can afford $350,000 homes are 

very attractive to the banking industry." 

Southington will ILkely remain attractive

St Dominic School, now in 

its 1 lth year of operation, began 

as a nursery with an enrollment 

of six children three times a 

week and seven children two 

tlmes a week. Wood said. "I was 

the first teacher. I Just stayed on 

and grew with the school." 

Enrollment at the school is 

now close to 300 students, with 

an average class size of 18. 

Students come to the school 

from Southington. as well as 

Newington. New Britain. 

Plainville. Mer4.den. Cheshire 

and Kensington. "We do not advertise 

It's all by word of 

mouth." Wood said. 

Grades K 6 are now represented 

at the school. There are 2 

classes each for grades K 

through 3 and one class each 

for grades 4 through 6. 

"I think we've initiated a lot 

of new ideas." Wood said. 

"We're one of the only 

chools that considers the nursery 

an important part of the 

school." she said. "they get used 

to interacting with the school 

and the rooms are an outgrowth 

of that." 

Students can begin at St. 

Dominic School at age 3. Wood 

said. The school offers a special 

feature, a Pre-Kindergarten 

class for those children who 

turned five after the cut -off date. 

No other school offers that transitional

American responsibility to Poland 

Two hundred

Crltical Io our vIci ry. Two centuries 

later, the deep ties between our nations 

remain 

We now face the opportunity to 

help our Polish frh.nds, and Congress 

s finally acting oi a strong package 

that will recapture the momentum of 

the President's /[ramatic July visit to 

Poland. Months tgo. the 12 nations of 

the European = ctmomic Community 

[EC] put together St20 rnigion in food 

assistance and arc already delivering 

it. thus the U.S. cannot debate an)' 

longer -pproved, the package now 

moving through Congress would prowide 

at least $125 million in food aid. 

$200 million for free enterprise assistance, 

apd other amounts for environmental, 

medical, and scholarship aid. 

Food is critical for both humanitarian 

and economic reasons: The average 

Polish monthly wage is $125 and galloping 

food prices are not only hurting 

Polish families but also putting pressure 

on the new government to re-ignite 

the inflation spiral by hlkmg 

wages. U S. food aid will help keep the 

cost of living in check while Polish 

farming, which is already 80 percent 

privately-run, expands production. 

While food assistance can help 

meet immediate needs, an economic 

assistance program must help foster 

longer-term restructuring of the Polish 

economy. Economic assistance without 

economic reform was the recipe for 

Poland's crash decade ago and U.S. 

free enterprise assistance must be accompanied 

by insistence on major economic 

reform. To its credit, the Mazowiecki 

government has proposed an 

ambitious and tough package to revitalize 

the Polish economy. However the 

government's plan would move slowly 

on privatization in certain sectors, and 

would allow a proposed government 

bank to control 20 percent of the 

shares of newly "privatized" state businesses. 

This continued centralization of 

management authority would compromise 

Western European and U.S. freeenterprise 

efforts in Poland. We must 

provide incentives for a faster pace of 

change and a stronger Polish commitment 

to free-market reforms. 

Direct economic assistance Is important, 

however the U.S. has other resources 

that must be tapped, including 

U.S. busmesses themselves. The Polish 

government is actively seeking Western 

private-sector partners for Joint ven 

tures to attract both capital and management 

experience and U.S. firms are 

far behind their European counterparts. 

Some American businessmen led 

by New Britain's Don Davis have 

shown that the know-how and interest 

in helpLng Poland Is there, but our government 

should not expect Davis and 

others to provide all the initiative and 

bear all the risk. 

The U.S. can help entice its companies 

to plunge in to Poland by sharing 

some of that risk. Government insurance 

programs like the Overseas Private 

Investment Corporation (ePIC} 

would spark Poland's economic development 

and provide many benefits on 

both sides of the Atlantic. But ePIC 

has been waiting since June for congresstonal 

approval of the legal authority 

tc guarantee loans for ventures to 

Poland while ePIC's European counterparts 

have helped their businesses 

more qnickly on the best opportunities. 

Here again, the Europeans are ahead: 

Wes" Germany. for instance, has 

formed 160 Joint ventures in Poland 

this year alone. 

Congressional action approving aid 

to Poland Is long overdue, but the 

tough Job of following through Is even 

more cHflca] ff t'hat ald 1"s to have--a 

lasting effect. Poland's economy cannot 

be transformed by quick fixes or even a 

blank check and. ff Congressional leaders 

truly hope to help our Polish 

friends, they will work for prompt action 

in the short run and cooperate 

with the President in the longer term 

for a policy that will be a lasting legacy 

for both the United States and Poland.

utters the famous line, "1 met the enemy

A couple of weekends ago, I met 

friends and enemies at a legislative 

conference in Washington. D.C. where 

a group of lawmakers from around the 

country gathered to discuss strategies 

in what has come to be known as the 

"war on dongs." 

I met for hearly an hour with "Drug 

Czar" William Bennett. spoke with

Rowland still may face opposition

who have struggles with gubernatorial 

tickets, a Rowland-Jaelde ticket would 

be attractive. 

Jaekle is considered one of the best 

lawmakers in the General Assembly. 

His knowledge of state issues could be 

an asset ff Rowland runs for governor. 

Rowland has to be credited for taking 

what still must be regarded as a 

long-shot bid for governor. He is giving 

up a safe congressional seat when most 

politlcta.ns would be happy to stay in 

Washington forever. 

Republicans have not been able to 

elect a governor since 1970. So Rowland 

can't feel encouraged by looking to 

the recent past. 

The last Republican governor was

perfect timing. John Dempsey. a popu-

candidate. Emilio Daddario.the former

It's possible that Rowland might be 

running for governor next year against 

someone other than Gov. William 

O'Neill. 

O'Neill keeps saying that he will run 

again, and his troops are starting to 

raise cmmp21gn cash. But untll O'Neill 

makes it official, the whispers wig continue 

thal he Is not running. 

If O'NeLU doesn't run. a political war 

will break out among Democrats. 

Rowland could find himself running 

against U.S. Rep. Barbara Kennelly. D- 

1. U.S. Rep. Bruce Morrison. D-3. or 

even someone else. 

The guess here Is that an announcement 

by Rowland virtually will 

close the door to other Republican contenders. 

That should help party leaders 

to conce on fund-raising and is-

It was a silly thing to do. Yet 

when I opened the door to find the 

wide-eyed cub scout standing in the 

early evening dampness. I followed 

my first instinct I invited him to 

step in while I got my wallet to buy 

some candy 

He looked at me, and flatly stated 

"I can't." It took alew seconds 

for his response to register, but it

I merely said In return. "Of 

course not-I,'ll be back In a second." 

I left him standing outside 

while I hurried to find my purse. 

The math behind noise pollution at Lake Compounce 

To the editor. 

I want to present a statistically factual 

discussion of the significance of 

lobbyists obtaining a I0 decibel waiver 

for the park through Bristol political efforts. 

This subject can not be described 

to a layman without a discussion of the 

math behind a 10 decibel waiver so 

please bear with me. 

Addition, subtraction or percentage 

have no application in the math of 

sounff (noise} levels. Wher the state 

law level of 53 decibels was allowed to 

creep up to 63 decibels by waiver under 

the grandfather clause that should 

have been called a godfather clause, it 

was estimated to the uniformed that 

this is a 19% increase in noise level 

which is not the case at all. 

The math of noise level measurement 

is a log arithmic exponential such 

that noise level is doubled any time 

there is an increase of 3.0103 decibels 

and is cut in half any time there ts a 

decrease of 3.0|03 decibels and a second 

sequential change in either direct.lon, 

indicates a noise level change of 4 

to I getting into a very strong noise 

pollution realm any time there is an increase 

of I0 decibels. 

Take 53 db. as the legal base without 

any waiver. Increase 53 by 3.0103 

getting 56.0103 db. represents twice 

the noise at 53. Increase by another 

3.0103 db. getting 59.0206 db. represents 

four times the noise at 53. Increase 

by another 3.0103 db. getting 

62.0309 db represents eight times the 

noise at 53. Here we have pretty much 

used the I0 db waiver but have a noise 

level over 8 times the 53 db basic by 

the time 63 db is reached. 

One newspaper write-up stated filegal 

Compounce noise level of 73 db 23 

times before I0 pm. and the reader can 

do his math to show that 71.0615 db 

represents 64 times the noise level of 

53 db which is an extreme intrusion to

His mother had drummed the message 

into his head. l'm sure. and he 

was a very obedient son. 

After I ordered the pecan log--to 

be dcllvered at some unspecified future 

date- l kept thinking about the 

error I'd made in inviting the child 

to crone in. While l certainly wasn't 

trying to entice a helpless victim into 

my home, l'd put the boy in a posltion 

whereby he was forced to recall 

his parents insistent warnings: 

never go into a house where you 

don't know the people. 

I've had a streaxn of school children 

knock at my door these past 

weeks, all seeking donations for 

football, school events or scouting. 

l've bought chocolate bars, ordered 

extra holiday candy, and currently 

await hordes of Christmas wrapping 

paper. Some'Vof these little 

sales people have been attended by

and I know that I've asked one or 

two others to step into the foyer 

while I hunted down a pen or some 

money. All except that one little cub 

scout readily accepted my invitation 

without hesitation 

If I was still living in Queens, 

New York, I probably would not 

have asked the children to step in. 

Then again, l can't recait many children 

knocking on my apartment 

door when I lived there-not to sell 

candy, not even in anticipation of 

the tlme-honored trlck-or-treat 

goodies. Here in Southington. however. 

there's a deceptive security 

which relaxes the guard by a conslderable 

amount. Since it's such a 

family-focused town. you don't consider 

the not so outlandish posslbti-

The necessary precautions 

may not always be remembered. 

Perhaps if my own child was a 

bit older fold enough to roam doorto-door 

mumbling rehearsed 

speeches, beseechingly displaying 

assorted wares), I would have been 

more cognizant of the risk children 

might be at when confronted with 

strangers-smiling faces not withstanding. 

It taught me another one 

of my own valuable motherhood 

lessons, which I learn so frequently 

through other people. 

So, with Halloween approaching, 

l'm going to be very careful how I 

interact with the costumed kids 

who come begging treats. I will be 

friendly. I will remark on their 

makeup and masks, and I will drop 

handfuls of properly packaged 

snacks into their sacks. And I will

From the day you became an Investor, 

you probably were told to diversffy 

your portfolio. Diversification is a 

fundamental financial principle that 

can spell the difference between investing 

succeasafully and consistently year 

after year, and achieving excellent investment 

results one year and dismal 

ones the next. 

Diversification very simply means 

you invest in a number of different assets 

whose prices respond to different 

forces. It can also mean investing in 

different markets, for instance stocks. 

bonds and precious metals. The reason 

for having a variety of investments is 

that the overall volatility, or risk, of a 

diversified portfollo is less than the risk 

of any single investment of any single

minute 23 econds remaining gave 

Newington a 12-6 victory for their second 

victory of the season. The Knights 

next face unbeaten Bristol Eastern tomorrow

It was a game in which Southington 

played well on offense, outgalning the 

Indians 201-128, and on defense, limiting 

Newington to Just 5 first downs and 

33 yards combined but two big 

Knights decline. 

After a hard fought scoreless first 

quarter, the Newington Indians threatened 

early but came up short in the 

2nd quarter when Indian Quarterback 

Brian Perrillo threw a second down 

bullet from the 13 which was caught 

outside of the endzone. It led to two big 

defensive plays by Seuthington to turn 

he ball over. Tom Cim'cia haft-one of 

his team leading 3 sacks followed by 

Drew Pierce's crushing tackle on 4th 

down to turn the ball over to the 

Knights.

the half, Newington finally struck first 

on a heart breaking play for Knights' 

safety Steve Matyczyk. Indian QB. Perrills 

followed up a 16 yard pass to the 

same target. Chris Segley, but this time 

hc threw long for Southington's 49. As 

Matyczyk followed Begley stride for 

stride, he reached up to get his hands 

on Perrlllo's pass but could only tip it 

into',Begley"s hands, who g lloped the 

rests'of th way to ra ake'tt 6-0. Clarets 

received his second sack to stop Newington's 

2 point attempt. 

The Knights came back however 

sparked by Matczyk's 20 yard kickoff 

return to their own 42. Four plays later, 

Scott Otis threw from Newington's 

48 yard llne and Tyler SmJth sprawled

which excited the near tO0 fans ,ho

Dawn Lantlere has begun her college 

softball career at South Carolina in 

impressive fashion. During the fall season, 

The two-time All-Starer has played 

in all I0 games for South Carolina. The 

Gamecocks, ranked sixth nationally, 

are 10-0 with Lantiere playing mossy 

first base, although she has played outfield 

and her more accustomed shortstop 

position. Coach Joyce Compton 

feela that Dawn's agility and quick reactions 

will be best suited for the hot 

first base bag, an important position in 

college softball. 

After establishing a career b tting 

average of •402 at SHS, Lantiere has 

adjusted well to the longer pitching distance 

(three feet) and speed of college 

pitching. She has batted •422 in I0 col 

lege gm-nes for the Gamecocks. 

Dawn credits SHS Coach Joe Piazza 

with preparing her for college bail. "His 

dedication to practice and the teaching 

of fundamentals and game situations 

have provided me with an edge over the 

other new players," she said. "He has 

also seen to it that I played in the right 

summer programs to develop the skills 

Dawn Lantiere 

l needed to here at Carolina."

Cm-dinal "A"s win 4th in a row 

The ardLnal "A's won their 4th 

game in a row with a convincing 3(l-6 

win over a persistent Lion team at 

Memorial Park. Corey Masuccl scored 

the first of his three touchdowns of the 

game in the first quarter and teammate 

Don Miller added kze extra points for 

an early 8-0 lead. However, Lion 

llnebacker Brian Kelleher interrupted a 

Cardinal pass two series later and 

raced 70 yards to close the gap to 8-6. 

The extra points fated and the Cardiruffs 

hung on to a two point lead as the 

quarter ended. Cardinal David Danko 

returned to the line up and fired up the 

team with an outstanding display of defense 

that kept the Lions off the scoreboard 

for the remainder of the game. 

Quarterback Jamie Leget then maneuvered 

Masuccl in for two later scores as 

well as adding another by Kevin Kin8 to 

increase the game winning margin. 

[Jumo 

The Giants used a variety of running 

and passing plays to spellbind a 

visiting Packer team on Sunday afternoon 

at Recreation Park. Eric Miron 

scored early in the game and Tony Martlnez 

added th extra points for an 8-0 

score. Giants quarterback Brendan 

Fiorelto scored on their next ball possession 

with a 15 yard scamper around 

end. Michael Fox increased the lead to 

20-0 . dth a 40 yard touchdown reception 

a d Miron added the two point 

conversion as the half ended with the 

Giants in front 22-0. 

The Giants defense led by Domenlc 

Cardlnale, P ul LaRosa and Eric Korp 

continued to sty nie the Packer offense. 

Jason Defonzo and Michael Fox added 

two more scores for the Giants as 

Fiorelto and Martlnez convened the extra 

points to in,'ease the winning margin 

to 38 points 

Chaz' ez 28, 12

The Vikings moved into second 

place in the Flag League with a 13-6 

victory over the Cowboys. Beth teams 

played excellent defensive games, but it 

was Jason Bruetch and Luke Seria who 

broke loose for the Vikings to add two 

touchdowns against the lone touchdown 

by Cowboy Ken Goodrich that 

spelled the difference. Anthony Valentine 

led the defensive unit for the 

Vikings as Tom Barrett handled similar 

chores for the Cowboys.

Five programs for women... 

(continued f om page I} 

ship of over 300 volunteers 

"1 hesitate to say why people attend, 1 know our 

volunteers come out. but there were new laces too 

The hospital is neither religious nor political It's 

something everyone can support " she said 

The audience was mixed in age but re 'eptlve to 

the variety of fashions shown Kerr did her home 

work. inviting the predominantly women's faculty 

fi'om the Southington School System and employ 

eea of local banks to attend. 

Noreen Ray announced the winner of a $250 

certltteate to Water's Edge as the high point of the 

raffle, which raised $1.000. according to Ray The 

winner was Mrs. Stephen Elliott. 

Weight reduction program 

Meanwhile. 70 people gathered at couference 

room A at Bradley Memorial IIospital to launch a 

new weight reduction program. Barbara Van Duyne 

facilitator for Green Seminars led the two and a 

half hour program that emphasizes hypnotic suggestion 

and behavior modification as methods ol 

weight control. 

"No one likes to loose anything." Van Duyne 

told the predominantly female audience. "You don't 

vrant to loose your job You don't want to loose your 

car keys. Loss is unpleasant." 

Her attempt was to convince the audience to 

discard unproductive habits. 

More than 60 women and six men lined up to 

pay $6,5 for the seminar Four ladies, who insisted 

upon remaining nameless admitted their husbands 

knew nothing about this seminar. Each said she 

lind lied and said she w going ci cwhc 13mr 

evenlIlgo 

Van Duyne cited numerous reasons for diet fail 

ure. Some of the obstacles included fear of success. 

deep belleLs about self. long practiced habits prevent 

people from achieving their appropriate size 

"We do nothing outside our own serf image" she 

cautioned.

BRADLEYMEMORIAL 

CHAPEL COMMITTEE 

Dear Friend of 

the Co nmunity: 

For the past , everal years the Southington 

Clergy A, ,,ociation has been working with 

Bradley Memorial Hospital to improve the 

level of pastoral care at the hospital. The 

Ecumenical Laity Group h as joined in this 

effort and three months ago Bradley 

Memorial t tospital designated two rooms on 

the third floor of the hospital to be used to 

enhance the pastoral care program. One of 

the rooms will be used as a chapel and the 

- other as a pastoral care office. The office is 

being provided by the hospital and the 

chapel will be decorated and furnished by 

the Southington community. The total cost 

of the chapel will be twenty thousand 

dollars ($20,000) and that will include a.large 

stained glass window, appropriate furniture, and a total remodeling of the room. 

I am the chairman of the Bradley Memorial Chapel Committee and our intention is to raise the necessary 

monev for the construction of the chapel. The Committee is composed of members of the Southington 

religi6us community and the chapel will be non-denominational in character and a place that all can use 

for prayer and meditation. 

It is the Committee's hope that individuals like you will contribute money towards the construction of the 

chapel. 

Our ecumenical committee is enthusiastic about this venture and we hope that you will help make the 

Bradley Memorial Chapel a reality. All contributions should be sent to: 

THE BRADLEY MEMORIAL CHAPEL FUND
