Forum gives candidates their say 

b,, Mike ('haiken 

st'aff v, riter 

The number of political 

candidates ,ho showed up, almost 

equaled the size of the public at the 

Southmgton Taxpa? ers Association 

forum for the candidates oll 

October 15 But the candidates 

ignored the small turnout of about 

twelve and expounded upon the 

issues important to them 

The topics of education, help 

for the elderly, drugs, the envlroment 

and tort reform recurred 

throughout the evening. 

Each of the six state government 

districts in Southlngton were 

represented by at least one incumbent 

or one challenger. 

The candidates that accepted the 

STA invitation to come speak and 

answq'r questions were: State 

Senator Joseph Markley (R-16th), 

State Representative Angelo Fusco 

(R-81stl, State- Representative 

Eugen_.eMlgharo (R-80th), Dorothy 

Mlcloskey lves (Republican challenger 

for the State Senate 31st 

district), State Senator Steve Casey 

(D-31st), Eugene Mdlerick (the 

Democratic challenger for the 22nd 

Assembly district), Gerald Crean 

(the Democratic challenger for the 

81s't Assembly district), Ida Ragazzl 

(the Democratic candidate for the 

30th dlsmct) 

The moderator, STA president 

R@mond Baginskl, began the 

forum by letting each candidate

she said. She also said the 

106 people receiving plns represented 

a total of 1050 years of work for 

the Red Cross. "l'sn't that marvelous?" 

She told the volunteers, "The 

Red Cross would not function without 

you...pat yourselves on the 

back, you're great." 

Ralph Carbone, a member of 

the Executive Board, said honoring 

the volunteers was "very 

special...We're very, very serious 

and solemn about this." He added, 

"This group could never 

exist...without all the little things 

the volunteers do." 

Dick Bouchard, the. Chapter 

Chal aan, sat& "Dehvenng the 

types of services the Red Cross 

(does)...ls totally a team effort." 

To present the Southington 

Community Service Awards to 

those people who helped out the 

Red Cross during l turricane Gloria 

last year, Carbone introduced the 

"fireball" who led the disaster rehef 

program, Linda Clark. 

Clark told the audience that 

"everybody helped out immensely" 

dunng the storm. Clark gave 

awards to Dunkin Donuts on 

Queen Street, McDonald's 

Restaurant on Merlden-Waterbury 

Turnpike, Denny's Restaurant on 

Quee.n Street. She explained these 

restaurants contributed food for 

people who were sheltered in tile

Chairman Topshe tried twice to 

postpone the pubhc hearing of the

hearing untd next week, despite 

protests from the public•

healthy organs from the

can be successfully transinnted 

to help restore the

These commonly include 

kidneys, corneas, hearts, 

livers, and skin 

The declsion to make 

such a donation is, of 

course, a personal one. It 

might be well to add, however, 

that virtually all religions

One should also keep in 

mind that the donation of 

an organ in no way modities 

one's funeral arrangemeats. 

The removal of the 

organ is carried out in an 

operating room by a team 

of surgecns and nurses for

Endorsements 

We are less than two weeks 

shy of election day. You will be 

asked to choose a governor, U.S. 

senator and depending upon which 

sentative and state-senat a 

probate judge wilLbe selected. And 

there are questionf b& yoted 

upon. 

In some cases we received 

bundle of information from campaigners 

in Southington, a d-w¢ 

attempted to reach candidates o set 

up intervie,ws. Some respgr ded, 

some didn t. In cases where we 

didnk -receive responses from-both 

candidates, we worgt endorse. 

Unless we know where they stand 

on key issues, there is no way we 

can endorse a candidate. 

Starting with the race for 

$ovemor, we endorse the incum- 

-- -benL William O'Neill. The Republican 

candidate, Julie Belaga, 

seems to have,written off this part 

of the state. She has stated publicly, 

Fairfield County can wm it 

for her. We never heard a word 

from her although we called her 

office and contacted a member of 

her ticket. She'll need more than 

the Gold Coast to win this one. 

Plus, her poor record as a state 

representanve will come back to 

haunt her. She did indeed miss 

voting on almost 50 percent of bills 

at the State Capitol. Many were key 

bills affecting people in need. And 

she didn't produce any major bills 

herself. 

The incumbent has been blamed 

for bridges caving in to a voting 

scandal in Waterbury and much 

more. The buck does indeed stop at 

his desk, but Governor O'Neill has 

shown a great deal of patience 

during hard times and an ability.to 

work with members of both parties 

in Hartford. The state is in good 

fiscal condition. Much of the credit 

must go to decisions made under a 

Republican president, b,u,t, some of 

that credit must go to O Neill. He 

deserves to return. 

The race for U,&, senator 

should go to the incumbent, Chris 

Dodd. This still young, dynamic 

senator is a member of powerful 

committees and is highly respected 

in Washington. His concern for 

peace in Central America has given 

Dodd a great presence for human 

fights in the U.S. Senate. His 

concern for children by starting the 

Senate Children's Caucus shows 

his concern in that area. He has 

fought hard to control the federal 

deficit and manage our tax dollars 

equitably. Dodd has fought hard to 

expand students loans at a time 

when funding has been diminishing 

on orders from the White 

House. We need Chris Dodd back 

in the U.S. Senate. 

The race for the winner in the 

U.S. Congressional Sixth District 

should go to Nancy Johnson, 

again the incumbent. Johnson has 

shown a strong base for her constituency. 

Her staff works tirelessly 

to answer questions from the 

thousands in her diswict. No easy 

task, indeed. Her work as an environmentahst 

took a few turns. 

She has worked hard to clean up

stand up for what she believes. She 

has bucked the White House on 

occasions. Not an easy decision 

from a Republican. John- 

with the Strategic Initiative. 

Still she, opposed thje MX 

missle. Johnson deserves to return 

to Washington as another step on 

what could be-an even great 

political career. 

Here in Southmgton the.hottest 

race is m the 81st State Representative 

District. The endorsement is 

for the- incumbent, Angelo 

Fusco. One clear reason is Fusc0's 

work as an envn:onmentalist. 

Is there any other issue as 

important? Fusco has shown 

genuine interest and leadership tn 

battling environmental problems in 

our town. Long ago he was pleading 

for help'with critic labeling 

Fusco a worrier. He was right; we 

do need help and constant surveilance. 

With Fusco tn Hartford 

Southington will have a voice in 

protecting our water and land, here 

tn Southington and all over the 

state. Fusco's, constituency response 

has been nothing short of 

sensational. Critics of his voting on 

bills are harping on the old amendment 

situation where a bill starts 

with a pure intent. Along the way 

amendments are tacked on which 

change the strength of the bill and 

its original purpose. The amendments 

are usually made by the 

other party. Fusco showed a strong 

voting posture for the betterment of 

Southington in Hartford and he 

should return. 

In the 31st State Senatorial 

District, incumbent Steve Casey 

should win and deservedly so. 

This Democrat is a strong voice 

towards bettering the educational 

system in our state. And Casey's 

constituency response is first class. 

His keen eye on gambling operations 

is missed by some. Casey 

wants to make sure Connecticut 

doesn't become another Nevada or 

New Jersey. We need Steve Casey 

in Hartford, and more like him! 

In the 30th General Assembly 

District, Ann Dandrow deserves 

to become a voice in Hartford for 

residents in Berlin and a portion of 

Southington. Her work for the disabled 

and handicapped has been 

well-documented over the years. 

No one has shown a greater interest 

in the plight for those groups. 

Dandrow has the guts to stand up 

for what she believes. Party influence 

will never affect this representative. 

Her constituent response 

will amaze those in Berlin who 

don't kno .x Ann as well as we in 

Southingt do. 

The race for Judge of Probate 

features two popular figures in our 

town: The incumbent, Carl Sokolowski, 

and Democrat Nicholas 

DePaola. Carl Sokolowski receives 

this endorsement based up- 

On his work thus far as judge of 

probate and his impeccable integrity 

as a man of the community. 

DePaola is an ideal candidate from 

the Democrats ranks, but Sokolowski 

deserves to return. He's 

earned it. 

And don't forget Eugene Migliaro 

who is running for the 80th 

Assembly seat, unopposed. He's 

your best friend in Hartford. Talk 

about guts and being non-political, 

Migliaro is in a class by himself.

Running for governor costly experience 

The/ 'agedy of this year's 

gubernatorial race is the cost of 

running for office. 

If expectations come true, there 

will be no record turnout in November. 

But the cost of the race has 

already broken a record. The sad 

fact is that Gov. O'Neill and Rep. 

Julie Belaga are running the most 

expensive gubernatorial contest in 

Connecticut history. 

O'Neill, the Democratricincumbent, 

has demonstrated the powe,r 

of the incumbency. Th governors 

campaign s endin ected to 

top the $2.5 million mark. People 

who give money usually like to be

Challengers have trouble keeping 

up with the incumbents in fundraising, 

and that difficulty is reflected 

in the Belaga war chest. The 

Republican candidate has raised 

more than $545,000 and her total is 

•Speaking Out 

by Thomas P. Langdon 

expected to break the $1 million 

barrier. 

So, between thge two campaigns, 

between $3.5 million and 

$4 million will be spent this year. 

That's a whooping amount to fuel a 

In defense of politicians 

The political season is coming 

to a close. Apprehensions are 

rising. The election is near, and the 

atmosphere is getting hot. Politicians 

are knocking on doors. 

Campaign volunteers are addressing 

envelopes and putting up 

signs. Polsters are making calls. 

Everything is going as usual, but 

some people are getting disillusioned 

by the campaigns. They 

hear the debates, the accusations of 

each candidate against the other, 

the promises, and sometimes the 

mudslinginmg. They read the 

newspaper accounts which talk 

about the candidates, their views, 

and their past, and perhaps see an 

over excited campaign worker 

attempting to gain a vote by 

discrediting his candidate's opponent 

as a liar, a thief, or a person 

who attempts to deceive the public. 

They may even hear stories of 

campaign fraud, like the absentee- 

ballot scandal in Waterbury. Relying 

on their present perceptions I 

Kennedy, Elsenhower, Truman, 

FDR, Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt 

tnspired confidence in the clt,zenry 

and brought our country to levels 

of prominence which we now look 

back on nostalgically. One good 

thing about President Reagan's 

leadership has been his ability to reenflam 

the public with confidence, 

which may send out the tide of 

mistaste for politics and politicians. 

To say that all politicians are 

crooks is certainly an overstatement 

although we are not attempting to 

say that all politicians are not 

crooks, for some certainly are, just 

as some doctors,-lawyers, clerks 

and even housewives are crooks. 

There are a few crooks in every 

profession. But to say that a 

profession of people out to serve 

the public, promulgate good for the 

present and future generations, and 

uphold the system of democracy 

we cherish so dearly are crooks is 

gubernatorial election. The stakes 

are high, of course, and the 

pressure is relentless to bring in 

money that can pay for staff, 

television, other media and all the 

rest. Already this year, candidates in 

primary races around the country - 

- after spending millions in primary 

contests -- have lost to oPl?one.nts 

who raise less money. 50 just 

because O'Neill has raised twice as 

much as Betaga, there is no insurance 

that O'Neill will win in 

November. 

But money is the political fact 

of life. Everyone needs it, and 

candidates and their supporters 

work overtime to rii ¢the f nds. 

As a challenger, Belaga started 

with a fundraising disadvantage. 

She was considered the long shot 

in the race for the Republican gubernatorial 

nomination. Now, her 

primary victory and a good showing 

in an early poll against O'Neill 

have made it easier to bring in 

certainly wrong. One must always 

remember when thinking about 

politics and politicians that politics 

is the art of compromise. How 

often it can be heard that politicians 

are out for their own good because 

they make deals like, 'TII vote for 

your bill if you vote for mine." 

Consider: If both bills will promote 

the common good, why is this 

bad? 

Another situation is wheh compromises 

are met, and perhaps ot 

everything that was intended by Pay 

bill author is included in the final 

bill. Is it wrong to support it because 

some of the "good" was taken 

out, when, if one does not support 

it, none of the good will be 

realized by society? Politicians on 

the whole are people who believe 

that if better is possible, good is 

not enough. If attaining the better 

means giving up hoped for good, a 

good politician, a true servant of 

and their past experiences, they I Promoting a sale Halloween 

come to the conclusion that all 

politicians are crooks. They begin from American Automobile lub 

to believe that all the politician 

cares about is himself, and he 

wants to be in office solely to satisfy 

his own selfish interests. 

Although their conclusions seem 

valid on the surface, a further 

examination of the evidence carries 

over as different conclusion. 

Perhaps one of the most significant 

reasons for the public's perception 

of a politician as a crook 

comes from then: love of sensualism. 

Let's take Watergate, for example. 

The dealings which were 

conducted during the Watergate 

break-in were certainly illegal acts, 

and the apprehension of the people 

who broke in prompted an intense 

investigation. This investigation 

found ties between the break-in of 

Watergate and the committee to reelect 

President Nixon.What ensued 

was a mass craze about the situation. 

People wanted to learn more 

about Watergate, and were therefore 

reading less and less, about 

the good things the President was 

doing. The result was Nixon's 

resignation from the presidency 

with the attitude "I am not a crook" 

while the public thought he was a 

crook. 

Incidentally, Watergate was the 

wave which brought in the tide of 

public sentiment against poiliucs 

and politicians. 

Another factor before Walergate 

was the Vietnam War, perceived 

by many to be an unjust 

war. Before 1963, however, polls 

showed the public had great faith in 

the government and the people 

running the government. Our presidents 

before the time, particularly 

The most frightnening part of 

Halloween is the increased potential 

for automobile accidents involving 

young pedestrians. Though 

many costumes are certain to 

resemble beings from outer space, 

the Triple-A offers some precautions 

that shoulO hot be alien to 

you. Children should be dressed in 

highly visible costumes. If 

possible, utilize retro-reflective 

materials as they are visible at 

nearly twi :e the distance of white 

cloth. Strips of the material are 

easy to use, effective and inexpensive. 

They are easily affixed to 

costumes, and it's a way that 

able to both 0amnt and child. 

Trick-or-treaters in their costumes 

should be able to see clearly. 

Make sure a face mask or makeup 

doesn't obstruct the child's vision. 

If a mask is worn, enlarge the eye 

holes so the youngster can see in 

all directions. Keep the costumes 

short enough so that a child won't 

trip while walking. High heels and 

trailing capes are dangerous. A 

simple, comfortable light-colored 

costume is a safer one. And don't 

forget a flashlight to illuminate the 

trick-or-treater's way. 

Parents are reminded to have 

the youngster's candy be sorted out 

before it's eaten. Bradley Memorial 

parents can make certain their trickor-treaters 

are easily seen 

Then there are the basic safety 

rules: Parents or older brothers or 

sisters should" accompany younger 

children on their trick-or-treat 

rounds. A parent can keep track of 

the homes visited, guide the 

children across stre,e.ts, and make 

certain that they don t wander from 

their immediate neighborhood. 

Older children prefer to travel 

with friends, but safety rules 

should be discussed before leaving 

home. Amongthe recommended J 

roles are to stay in familiar neighborhoods, 

telling the parents which 

route area has been chosen. Pick 

streets that are well-lighted, and 

stop only at homes where outside 

lights at,. one. Walk on the sidewalk 

and not on the street. If there 

is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic.

O Neill had to spend more this

politicians. To all prospective politicians, 

I submit the resounding 

words of Lord Tweed amore, "Public

Councilman Carbone supports Crean bid 


Gerry Crean, Democratic candidate 

in the 81st Assembly District, 

is our best choice for State Representative. 

Ger Crean has the 

experience, the record and the courage 

to be the strong voice 

Southington needs in Hartford. 

When Gerry Crean was in the 

General Assembly, Southington 

mattered. When Gerry Crean went 

to Hartford, our senior cl t.zens 

weren't given empty promises. 

They saw action. State Representative 

Gerry Crean brought $1.3 

million in state fundsrinto Southington. 

This money built the 

Lincoln-Lewis Terrace apartments 

for the elderly on Academy Street 

in the center of town 

But Gerry Crean's support of 

senior citizens did not rest with the 

building of the Lincoln-Lewis 

complex. A vocal enthusiast for 

elderly benefits, Gerry obtained an 

increase in the subsistence 

allowance for people in 

convalescent homes; he supported 

senior citizens health screening, 

and he endorsed money in the 

budget for triage clients. When 

Gerry Crcan was in Hartford, our 

senior citizens counted. 

Gerry Crean has a proven 

record of suplJort for all residents 

of Southington. As State Repre- 

,emative Gerry was inslmmental in 

the completion of the Center Street - 

- Ralph Gioia -- Bridge. He 

corrected the Berlin Street drainage 

problem, focused attention on the 

Route 66 railroad overpass and 

increased state aid to Southington 

for road repair by $45,000. Gerry 

had legislation passed that increased 

the property tax exemption 

for surviving spouses of qualified 

veterans and he supported cuts in 

the State Budget that eased the tax 

burden on all of us. 

Now Gerry Crean wants to do 

more. State Representative Gerry 

Crean will be tireless m his support 

of addition and affordable senior 

citizen housing. Gerry wants 

legislation which will include more 

senior citizens under the prescription 

drug plan. 

The lather of four children and 

coming from a famdy that includes 

educators. State Representative 

Gerry Crean will be a staunch supporter 

of increased educational 

opportunities for all of our childrea. 

Gerry also knows that paying 

teachers well means keeping qualified 

educators tnd attracting extraordinary 

new people into the 

profession. 

Gerry Crean wants to complete 

the Route 66 overpass and the 

Route 120 drainage problems. 

Gerry wants to be m Hartford to 

fight for affordable insurance rates 

for individuals and for businesses. 

Gerry Crean wants more attention 

paid to the drug and alcohol problems 

among our young people. 

On election Day we can make 

Southington count again. We can 

send a strong voice back to Hartford. 

We can re-elect Gerry Cream 

Democrat, as our State Representative 

in the 81st Assembly District.

Alcohol is the number one killer of teenagers 


verytime we pick up a newspaper 

or turn the TV on, the first 

thing we see or hear is that another 

young person was needlessly killed 

because of alcohol. Drinking and 

driving do not mix. They never did 

and they never will. Many and 

most of these are stupid. Most of 

these could be prevented by the 

drunken person. They all have the 

knowledge of what alcohol can do 

to the brain. They have heard it 

from home, school and friends. 

They aren't stupid by any means. 

Most of them are just showing off 

or trying to be macho. Some are 

caught before they have killed 

some jane or killed themselves 

Some young ople, under 21, 

just walk into a store and buy all 

the alcohol they want. They don't 

need any l.D.'s. It seems a very 

easy thing to be able to buy an I.D. 

card. It's a very simple process. As 

a matter of fact the makers of these 

false I.D. cards have so many 

orders that they can't fill them for 

weeks. It's a simple matter. A 

friend of legal age loans them h shers, 

license and their photo and 

there it is. The maker combines the 

two, puts it in a plastic case and 

now you have fin I.D. In most bars 

this goes over very smoothly. I 

said, "Most bars." I know there are 

many of the men checking,Ctlese 

l.D.'s that can spot these false 

l.D.'s in a second. Others never 

ne s. A person has been arrested 

many times but always found not 

guilty even though he was drunk 

Even after the drunk driver killed 

someone his sentence was no driving 

for two years and he would 

have to spend stxty (60) week ends 

in the county jail. If you add it up, 

60 weekends comes to about four 

months in jail, not too harsh a 

unishment for getting drunk and 

illing someone. This judge has a 

soft spot in his heart or maybe a 

soft spot in his head. 

We have reviewed our judges 

in Connecticut and have weeded 

out the ones unworthy of judging 

others. The pe@le must be made

Secohd of two parts 

In my last column, I discussed 

the differences between defined 

contribution pension plans and 

defined benefit pension plans for 

the employees of small businesses. 

In this column, I will discuss some 

of the specific plans available. 

I.ollo vlng are samples of such 

plans K¢ogh or ltR-10: Established 

by Congress in 1962, the Keogh 

plan is a tax-deferred pension plan 

designed for employees of umncorporated 

businesses, or for persons 

who are self-employed (fullor 

part-time). A Keogh plan can 

provide contributions up to 25 percent 

of earned income, up to a 

maximum of $30,000. Keogh 

plans allow all investment earnings 

to grow tax-deferred until capital is 

withdrawn, as early as age 59 1/2. 

(This applies only to people who 

have a 5 percent or htgher interest 

m the company; for other participants, 

a Keogh plan s similar to 

other quabfied plans as far as 

distributmns are concerned.) Practically 

any type of tnvestment vehicle 

can be used for a Keogh plan, 

including mutual funds. 

401__Q!_LM:_." Also referred to as a 

salary reduction plan, a 401 (k) 

allows an employee to defer 

portions of his or her salary by 

hawng them contributed on a pretax 

basis to a company "pool" 

which can be invested in a variety 

of financial instruments. 

As of this writing, a 401 (k) 

plan may provide for salary 

deferrals of up to 15 percent of 

gross salary or $30,000 whichever 

is less, and the capital and earnings 

it planning for you and employees 

An employee also may make 

contributions to the SEP/IRA subject 

to regular IRA limitations. An 

employee's contributions and earnings 

on funds in the plan are taxdeferred 

until withdrawn. SEPs 

can be established by self-employed 

individuals, parmerships or 

cor0orafions. 

Thrift or savings-plans: Here, 

employer contributions are made to 

match a stated percentage of mandatory 

employee contributions. Un- 

der a t ,pical thrift plan, employees 

may elect to conmt :e an amount 

up to 6 percent of pay. The employer 

agrees to contribute a stated 

percentage of whatever the employee 

contributes. These plans are 

often established by an employer to 

encourage employees to save. 

Other defined contributioq 

plans include money uty.hase pension 

plans, profit- anng 

stock bonus plans and employee 

stock ownership plans. 

It is critical to note here that due 

to pending new tax legislation, 

many of the stipulations on these 

plans, such as maximum contributions, 

eligibility, etc., may be subject 

to change. Some changes will 

be immediate and some may be 

phased in over a period of time. 

Still not sure what plan is right 

foryou? Don't worry. An experienced 

financial planner can help 

you unravel the mysteries of such 

plans -- and work with ou to 

make retirement planning or you 

and your employees a rewarding 

experience.

Casey said, "While the Senate 

Democrats worked hard to pass 

legislation to betterprotect firefighters 

and proposed tougher laws against 

those companies failing to 

disclose the presence of hazardous 

materials, the Republican majority 

failed to implement those 

proposals." 

Casey emphasized that a critical 

need exists to have more advanced 

training for firefishters and to put 

teeth in our noufication law. A 

$330,000 legislative proposal 

would have purchased state of the 

art equipment designed specifically 

for use in chemicals fires, and 

would have doubled the number of 

firefighters who could receive 

hands-on education throughout the 

state's special Hazardous Materials 

Training Program. State. Senator 

SAev¢ Casey also said that the state 

must make serious efforts to 

Democratic candidate for Hartford 

County said h 'has a platform of 

progressive leadership. 

He said, "I propose to restore 

public confidence in the Hartford 

County Sheriffs Department and 

make it an effective part of the 

State's legal system through the 

careful selection qualified personnel, 

in-service training, and the 

adoption and implementation of a 

code of official conduct." 

Rioux said he will develop a 

seven point program involving the 

selection process of personnel, inservice 

training, financial accountability, 

a code of official conduct, a 

dress code, updating the department 

manual, appointing a six 

member advisory board to assist in 

the operations for the departrn nt 

and inaugurating these programs.

access to hazardous materials infor- He said, "I would like to point 

marion in every community--information 

that could save many lives." 

According to t/asey, with 

these new training programs in 

place coupled with 'healthy communication 

among local officials 

and firefighters at every level, we 

will be prepared to combat dangerous 

chemical fires and ultimately 

save lives." 

Dayeare 

Casey announced that he "will 

suppart additional fimding f r 

daycare needs for lower income 

families." 

Under current sate law, lower 

income families may receive up to 

$30.00 per week for their first 

child and up to $15.00 per week 

for their other children based upot 

financial need. Yet according to the 

Connecticut Department of Human 

Resources, the average cost of 

daycare in Connecticut is $75.00 

per week. Funding for the existing 

program, comes trom the federal 

government and is administered by 

Connecticut's Department of Human 

Resources. However, Casey 

said that "State funds should be 

appropriated to in rease the level of 

mdto lower inco fl.€families needing 

daycare ani that families 

should no longer be penalized with 

50 percent less funding for a 

second or third child needing 

daycare." 

Casey said that "according to a 

recent survey, over 45 percent of 

single, non-working mothers say 

that they would work if affordable 

child care services were available." 

Case.y also said that "child care 

servmes allow parents to become 

members of the labor force, as well 

as improve the productivity, attendance 

and turnover rotes of parents 

who are currently working." 

Cheryl Richards 

Republican State Representative 

candidate for the 22nd district, 

Cheryl Richards, said if she is 

elected she will. seek committee 

assignments that allow her to best 

serve the needs of our districL 

"The committee assignments I 

will request for the, next legislative 

term, once elected,' Richards said, 

"will be for seats that will put me in 

' the best possible position to serve 

the needs of the three communities 

I will represent." 

"My first choice," she 

explained," will be the powerful 

AppmpriadonsCommitteethatcontrois

committee," she continued, "that 

decides which programs are funded 

and at what levels our local town 

and city budgets are greatly affected 

by decisions coming forth 

from the Appropriations Committee," 

Richards said, "as well as 

all state run programs." 

"Having served on the Plainville 

Town Council," Richards 

said, "I am well aware of the f'mancial 

needs of communities as 

well as the programs created by 

state laws that require additional

Transportation and Motor Vehtcle

AI Rioux 

High Sheriff AI Rioux, the 

out an incorrect statement in your 

article about Nicholas DePaola in 

the October i6 issue. He is reported 

as saying that there are only 

52 a.ttomeys among the 131 Connectlcut 

Probate judges. My own 

count is that there are 68 (An accurate 

count is not easy. It is easier to 

underestimate the umber of attorneys 

than to overestimate it.) 

"Even the correct numbers are 

misleading if they seem to indicate 

that legal training is not needed in 

nobate matters. The truth is that 

owledge of the law is importani 

to the office, and very important in 

the busier courts. The Probate 

Judge is responsible for protecting 

the Constitutional and legal rights 

of many persons" chddren, parents, 

heirs, creditors, mentally ill persons, 

incapable persons, and others. 

The Judge must sort throdgh 

the briefs and legal arguments 

made by some of the most competent 

and resourceful attorneys iu the 

state Our law does permit a Probate 

Judge to help answer questions 

or decide cases; but in abusy 

court the judge must have the ability, 

experience and judgment to 

make decisions promptly and 

alone. 

"Many of our Connecticut 

Probate Courts serve very small 

populations. A few of them reported 

no activity of any sort in the 

first quarter of this year. Some of 

them have so little activity that they 

keep no regular hours, or are only 

open two hours or so a week. 

"The busiest third of the Courts 

are served by judges who are 

virtually all attorneys (34 ot 44, or 

77%). The least busy third of the 

judges are overwhelmingly not 

attorneys (only 11 of 44, or 25%). 

In a study done this year by the 

Probate Assembly, Southington 

was determined to be the 39th most 

busy Court--thereby being in the 

top third. 

"Fifty five courts re open fullrime 

or almost full-time--thirty 

hours or more per week. Of those 

55, forty (73%) are served by 

judges who are attorneys. 

"Why are there any nonattorney 

judges? There are many 

reasons. In at least eight of the 

probate districts, no attorneys reside 

within the borders. (A Probate 

Judge must reside in the district). 

In other diswict, no doubt, none of 

the resident attorney cared to be 

nominated or elected. In some 

towns, the imbalance o,f party registration 

makes election of the 

majority party's candidate a certainty; 

and therefore the persons who 

make the nomination for that party 

determine the qualification of the 

person who will serve. In several 

districts, after the death or retirement 

of a Judge, an experienced 

Clerk oJ" the Probate Court was 

nominated and elected. (Judge 

Mary Scott, of Wallingford, and 

Judge Salafia of Norwich, among 

others, were elected under those 

circumstances.) Also, no doubt, 

sometimes the popularity of one 

candidate overshadows the qualifications 

of the other. 

"Southington is a large town, 

and growing rapidly. We have 

about 225 new estates each year. 

Because of the relative youth of our 

population, we have more than an 

average amount of adoptxons and 

protective mattersconcem ngchilden.. 

The Southmgton Probate 

Jud.ge ts called upon each day to 

review the work of numerous 

attorneys on those and other matlets, 

and to help persons who are 

not represented by attorne.ys. Legal 

training and probate experience are 

not mandated by law for a new 

Judge of Probate, but they arc 

highly desirable. Long ,before my 

election as Southington s Probate 

Judge in 1975, I concentrated m) 

training and practice in the area ot 

probate and estates. 1 believe that 

that specialization--plus the eleven 

years experience as Southington's 

Judge--have been important to m 

ability to ser, e the residents ot

The best way to stop our

drug users, according to state Senator 

Joseph Markley, (R- 16th). 

"We've already accomplished a

battle." 

"It.is essential that we imple

in the grammar schools 

since drug use often starts at an 

earl , age," Markley said. 

I also believe that community 

leaders--and active parent-teacher 

organizations--can be very effective 

in deterring our youth from using 

drugs," he added. 

"If our children see their role 

models speaking out against drugs, 

.it can only have a positive effect o.n 

" hem. I have personally visited several

pompous dignity, he replied, "Go

Former Governor Holcomb 

explained that the only bank m 

Soutbington v, as the Savings 

Bank, whose business was condueled 

in the residence of 

Whittlesey.-T-here was no butqdirig 

at the time for its excluqve Ilse. 

Much of the banking business of 

those days was conducted privately 

by Amon Bradley, the grandfather 

of Bradley Barnes of North Mare 

Street, who was often referred to 

as the town banker. 

Amon Bradley was indeed a 

man of business tie was proprietor 

of a store whi re the Gould's 

Furniture Store is now located, and 

he handled a very lucrative trade. 

Norman Barnes, father of Bradley 

Barnes, clerked there for several 

years and derived a substantml 

income from the business. Amon 

Bradley secured the charter for the 

Southington Savings Bank, and 

built the Bradley House. When 

Holcomb came to town, the Bradley 

House wa,; a thriving, bustling 

hotel. Holcomb said that Bradh.y held 

extensive property interests and 

was very active in unportant town 

affairs. 

James P,ratt and other Southlngton 

center merchants conducted a 

successful general store and pharmacy 

in the building now occupied 

by Steve Chaffee's Drug Store. 

Mareus-Hoteom 

Holcomb said, "Pratt's name was 

associated with many progressive 

movements told major town actlv- 

him ts the credo for b"'eattttfymg the 

Town Green and laying the sidewall,s 

, und the center. He was 

made president of the Village 

Improvement Society." 

About that time, Frank Upson. 

who was one of the Upson brothers, 

became a clerk in Pratt's store. 

In the basement of the building was 

located Jacob tleinrlch's Barber 

Shop I 'w "the only one m 

and a very, popuktr place. 

North of th s place was a dry 

goods store run by a man of the

Around Southmgton m the 

1870s was scattered several landmarks 

and place, of business 

whtch have long since ceased to 

exist. One of the most interesting 

of these was the old Atwater Grist 

Mill, situated between Plantwflle 

and Mflldale on the east bank of the 

Qumnip ac Rtver, opposite the 

plant of the Atwater Manufactunng 

Company. The farmers from many 

miles onnd had null bins set aside

with the hottest R&B producers in 

the country is similar in concept to 

ABC's last album, How to be a 

Zillionaire. Both are British bands 

who came to the U.S. to hear 

where young Black Americais coming 

from. ABC went to the hip-hop 

culture of New York for inspiration. 

The Human League went to 

the heartland funk of Minneapolis. 

This Minneapolis-London connection 

has given the Human League 

the tightest rhythm section they 

have ever had, even though they 

had a computer keeping ume before. 

The way the bass and drums 

meld on this record is almost super- 

Human. 

But there is a question of hay, 

much of rash ., the Human League. 

None of the band is actually 

TV Topics 

has allowed the cream of the crop 

to turn up on the album•Lewis and 

Jam wrote the band's fine single 

"Human" which is one of their typically 

big beat ballads reminiscent of 

Cherelle's "Saturday Love" and the 

SOS Band's "The Finest." The Human 

League's Philip Oakey and 

Jim Russell came up with a respectable 

funk fest tune with "Jam." 

After all is said and done, 

Crash is a success. But it is a success 

with a few unanswered questions. 

Foremost among them is if 

the Human League continues reach 

for the stars with their music will 

they finally Crash because they 

cafft properly play • their instruments. 

The critical Observer gives the 

album a B+. 

Hammer should be nailed 

Some ideas which sound great 

on paper, don't adapt well to 

television. 

One recent example was Pohce 

Squad. Toted as a program that 

was done by 'the same crazies who 

brought you the motion piciure, 

'Airplane," Police Squad certmnly 

sounded as if it had promise. One 

thing in its favor was its first-rate 

cast, headed by Leslie Nielsen•Unfortunately, 

when it began to run, it 

was obvious this was a first-class 

stinker. At best, it was mane. 

Thank the networks it was put out 

of its misery and banished to TV 

limbo. 

A similar situation has developed 

with a new ABC program, 

Sledge Hammer, being shown Fridays 

at 9 p.m. This one is loosely, 

i nd I mean loosely, based on Stacy 

Keach's (and Mtckey Spillane's) 

Mike Hammer and Clint (the 

squint) Eastwood's ever-popular 

Dirty Harry Callahan. 

At fast, a satire on the hardliving, 

hard-talking, shoot-'am-up 

detectives sounded as ,if it could be 

a great TV series. Again, a firstrate 

cast of actors was hired. David

Rache is perfectly cast as Sledge, 

and his partner, Doreau is the veteran 

TV and motion picture actress 

Anne-Marie Martin. Harrison Page 

was cast as Inspector Hammer's 

ever-frustrated police boss, Trunk. 

The greatness, if one could call it 

that, ends there, because the sltuauons 

are trite, the writing is stale, 

and the actors look confused. 

A good example is the episode 

where Hammer was being sought 

by his former partner, a good cop 

turned bad. The problem is that the 

former partner is a better shot than 

Hammer is, and twice as violent• 

The fact that this program does 

have a fairly experienced cast might 

make this a sleeper. It eventually 

could find its nitch, and become better 

It could not get a beck of a lot 

worse• However, it is stressed that 

this show probably is doomed as 

one of the one-season wonders. 

I have a better idea. Sledge's 

mother could come back as a talkmg 

police car _ T hen, the name of 

the show could be,changed to My 

Mother. the Cruiser. Nah, no one 

would buy such a ridiculous series.

Every time I take my k ds to a

It's strange to be living in a 

world where a pack of gum costs 

more than a meal used to. Where 

arming a kid with the ridged and 

substantial plop of a quarter won't 

get him any closer to a candy bar 

than he would be emptyhanded 

Candy bars cost about three bucks 

these days; they're kept in glass 

cases, hke the more expensive 

kinds of jewelry m the department

As k ds ourselves, I remember, 

we used to make fun of the grov, nup

My morn used to send us off in

December "Don't spend more than

We laughed at her then.

No one who's just spent $180

But, I'm pleased to report, the 

p cture sn't altogether'bleak. It 

must be conceded that hiding here 

and there among the staggenng 

price tags, there still do exist one or 

two bargains. Good buys, I mean. 

items for wtuch you fork over a 

modest amount of cash and m 

exchange get ,,omething of value 

The world 'value' is the key 

one here. It's stdl possible, of 

course, to buy things which don't 

cost much, but which have no value 

either. Party favors spring most 

immediately to mind, like the 

kewpie-doll sort of creature with 

the pink hatr and the merry blue 

eyes you can get for 98¢ whiCh, 

the minute you hand it to a kid, 

drops its limbs off and loses its 

head, leaving you with a torso, a 

crying child, and a dollar less than 

you had to begin with. 

No, I speak of the really good 

value here: the item of insubstantial 

cost and substantial worth. Like 

those white open-grid lawn and 

patio chairs you see in every supermarket 

and hardware store lUS 

now. 

These chairs are wonderful. 

They cost $4.99 each. You can 

stack 'em up and store ten or 

twelve of 'em in three-square feet 

of space. They're sturdy, serviceable, 

and they look nice. 

It's true that they make wafflemarks 

in your fanny if you stay in 

them for long periods, but this is 

easily cured by purchasing for just 

another trifling amount some nice 

matched urethane cushions covered 

in fabrics of bright lollipop hue.

Recalls Blizzard of '88 

Probably the event which most 

llople remember is the Great 

izzard of March, 1888. He was 

living in the Dr. Hart pla 'e. Snow 

lay five feet deep. The drifts were 

very bad and it took the town a 

week to dig itself out from under 

them. March 10, 1888 was a day very 

warm and unseasonable. The peepers 

were piping noisily from the 

marshes andextra coats were cast 

aside. To the weatherman, though, 

the darkly, circled sun was an 

ominous stgn. On Sunday, a large 

snowfall blanketing the ground, 

and the temperature barely sat at the 

freezing point. The next day the 

men went ot work at the factories 

as usual. "During the monring in 

Plantsville, Mr. Cummings put his 

horse before the blade to drive the 

known for 54 years as Holcomb 

School. 

minister who had been overnight a 

shortdistance to the railroad stalion 

in l la rtsvillc ,.,-,,, ,. ........ 

man's home was in New Haven, 

and he felt he could make it there in 

time, said the former governor. 

"Mr. Cummings left him in the 

waiting room and then turned his 

horse home. It seemed as if the 

storm would smother him. After 

great difficulty, he reached his 

driveway', but could not get the 

sleigh into the barn. He stopped, 

unharnessed the horse, left the 

sleigh, and in a deperate effort, successfully 

reached the stable wtth 

the exhausted anmml. By the tnne 

he reached the door, Cummings 

was almost overcome by effort." 

Holcomb continued, "The minister 

waited in vain uhtd mid-afternoon 

for a tram, and then laboriously 

crossed the tracks to the 

hotel, where he remained untd 

Thursday afternoon, when he took 

the first train which passed south 

after the blizzard." 

One poor fellow, a workman, 

lost his way and found shelter in 

the lightly constructed buildings at 

The Great Blizzard 

In the series of interviews he gave in 1931, former Governor Marcus 

Holcomb recalled the Blizzard of March, 1888. The drifts were very bad 

and it took the town a week to dig itself out from under them. In spots, 

the drifts were 15 and 20 feet high. As you can see from this,famous 

Emerson Hazard photo from right after the Blizzard, Holcomb s recollections 

were accurate. Our thanks to Southington Historical Society

However, Gura points out 

11 year olds nmst play on tt A 

that the number of 12 and 13 

year old players competing in the 

man , of them are beyond the 

maximum we ht class. 

there have been enough 12 and 

13 year olds playing on the A 

squad, but it could become abig 

problem dunng the coming 

seasons. Boys simply grow 

faster v, hen they are approaching 

or reaching the teenage level than 

as the case in the early 

tggO's," Gura said• 

"Sometimes we have to get 

permission from the parents of 

players competing on the B 

',quad to play them on the A 

quad in order to have a 

.,ufficmnt number of players on 

the A squad," pmnts out Gura 

This has helped us field a full 

11 player A squad, he added. 

Eadl ,,arsity team in the 

league a ,erages 32 players, 

which means there are 256 

members in the entire twodivision 

circuit 

Gura said every player is 

aeighed.. fore each game to 

make s6re the), meet the weight 

classlcations 

Thirteen and 14 year old 

athletes cannot play in the Midget 

Football League once they 

join either the varsity Kennedy 

or DePaolo Jumor High squads, 

said Gum. 

Original rules 

When the Southington Midget 

Football League was organized 

in 1948. only youngsters 

between the ages of 9-13 

seigtung betv, een 65 and 112 

pounds were allowed to play 

but it has increased to133 

pounds in recent }'ears. 

Well-attired 

The players are properly 

attired for protection as each 

athlete is provided with a hellnut, 

shoulder pads. neck collar, 

rib pads, hip pad . thigh pads. 

knee pads, am pads and a 

jersey, said Gura. 

Gura points out that any boy 

,ho meets the age and weight 

lequirements will be welcomed 

to the squad just as long as their 

parents sign the consent slip 

allowing them to play• 

Whether the boys are playing 

too much football before they are 

,tudents at Southington High 

School is questionable, Gura 

said. 

We are certain that just about 

every coach and administrator in 

the Southington Midget football 

League would hke to see their 

graduates compete in the entire 

Southington Secondary School 

gridiron program because they 

can contribute substantially to 

the success of the junior high 

and high school teams• 

It ts unfortunate that the 

better players don't have the desire 

to utilize their nearly developed 

God given skills to the 

Blue Knights 

football program, which could 

eventually attract college scouts 

and possible scholarships 

Gura adds many youngsters 

,..ould rather hnd a parttime job 

whcu they are studDng at South 

:ngtou thgh Suhool than play 

tootball.

First "V¢" 

The Blue Knights ' offense 

exploded for a pair of first half 

touchdowns and apparently went 

back to sleep in the second half as 

tile strong defenswe squad played 

another strong game as Southingtoll 

came through lttl its first win 

by a 15-6 score al Alumni Field in 

Newington. 

The Kmghts were by far the 

best team in the first half as they 

.,,cored all 15 pmnts during their 

three possessions of the pigskin 

Ahhough the Newmgton Indians 

scored tile first touchdown of 

the game on the third play from 

scrimmage following the opening 

kickoff on a 61-yard trap play up 

the middle by Paul Vumback. the 

Knights dominated the remainder 

of the first half. 

The Southington defense was 

imply superb as the Indians failed 

to register a first down dunng the 

hl-st hall hlle tile offense picked 

up 13. 

The Knights came back to 

score the first nine they had 

possession of the ball marching 53 

yards m 14 plays An aerial lrom 

quarterback Kewn Ruoff to junior 

wide receNer Mike Forglone was 

good for a 7-yard TD 

Southmgton picked up three 

first downs on the drive and runnmg 

by A1 Ramey, John Bertola, 

Kcith "DiNeno and Crmg Gorr 

pla3ed a fine role. 

A bad pass from center spoiled 

the Knights' chance to take the lead

Southlngton's defensive crew

the second quarter on the 

Newmgton 25. 

An aerial from Ruoff to Tim 

Giammatteo was good for 22 yards 

and a first down on the two. And 

Gorr went off right guard for the 

touchdown. 

This touchdown enabled the 

locals to lead for the first time 

since they enjoyed a 3-0 lead over 

Holy Cross of Waterbury in the 

second quarter in the season 

opener. 

All of which means that Southregion 

was either tied or behind for 

16 consecutive quarters. 

Southmgton, leading 12-6. 

added three more points in the final 

six seconds of the first half when 

Kevin Cox booted a 20-yard field 

goal and that proved to be the final 

points of the game. This score was 

set np by the passing combination 

of Ruoff to Forgione. This combine 

is the best. 

It was the second time that Cox 

kicked a field goal this season. 

Superb defense 

Although the second half was 

scoreless,the home club had a fantastic 

territorial edge and the 

Knights defense rose to the occasion 

each time to take the ball over 

on downs. 

While the Knights offense failed 

to display the class it enjoyed in 

the opening two quarters, the 

Southington defense came through 

five straight times to snfle the 

Indians sconng opportumties. 

Best drive 

Early in the third quarter, the 

Indians put together their best 

offensive show and marched from 

their 47 to the Southington 15, 

registering three first downs before 

giving up the ball on downs• 

Newington shortly thereafter 

recovered a Southington fumble on 

the latter's 29. 

After gaining a first down on a 

running play to the 13, the vahant 

Southington defense held the Indians 

to six yards in four plays and 

again took over the ball on the 

Southington 7. 

Early in the fourth quarter. 

Sonthmgton fumbled again and 

Newmgton recovered on the 11. 

The Indian ; marched to the two 

and the SttS defense again stopped 

them on a fourth down and one 

situation and the Knights offense 

had the ball again. 

Newington received another 

"'gift' by the Santa Claus Knights 

when it intercepted a Ruoff pass on 

the Southington 29. 

Again the Knights sensational 

defensive squad stopped 

Newington holding the Indians 

to.only one yard in four plays. 

The game ended several plays 

later. The Knights offense in the 

second half was simply woeful as 

it fmled to cross its 40 yard fine. 

Amazing crew 

The amazing Southington defensive 

squad deserves special commendation 

for its fantastic play. 

This awesome unit is made up of 

end Jim Cyr, tackles Jay, Wilson, 

John Rossi and Dean Calderoni, 

nose guard Mark Graveline, inside 

linebackers John Bertola, and 

Keith DiNeno, outside linebackers 

Steve Bohlman and Mike Baribault, 

an safety Jeff Sioch and 

Scan Cas idy. Chris Waiksnods 

and Jeff Stomsky have also played 

outstanding defensive roles on 

various occastons, Coach 

D'Angelo also said. 

Southington registered 16 first 

downs while Ne ,'ington had 3 and 

the Knights total offense was 261 

to 110 for the Indians (2-3-1). 

"The team played gs best game 

of the seas on and I am looking to 

nrore ffenswe,! provement in our 

comidg games, D Angelo said. 

"I cannot say enough for our 

defensive unit. They were amazing 

out there and have given up only 

31 points in five games." he added. 

Newington head coach Tom 

Ludko said, "Southington won the 

game in the trenches and they have 

the better team. Their defensive 

unit is the best l've seen this 

season." 

Besides the Plait win over 

afforementioned Bristol Eastern the 

results of the remaming Blue

Williams outstanding but JV squad loses, 27-12 

Despite the outstanding running 

of Toay Williams, the Southington 

High jumor varsity gridders dropped 

a 27-12 demsion to the Newington 

High JV squad Monday in 

Newington. 

After Newington broke away 

for three touchdowns in the first 

and second quarters and enjoyed a 

21-0 lead, the Blue Knights got on 

the scoreboard when Williams 

broke away on a thrilling 60 yard 

mn for the touchdown. 

However, the Newington gridders 

maintained their awesome offense 

and scored early in the third 

quarter to make the score 27-6. 

Williams culminated a 56-yard 

scoring drive by racing 25 yards 

for Southington's second muchdown 

late in the third quarter. 

Besides Williams, other top 

Southington players were linebacker 

Chris Breton, defensive 

secondary back Dave Capobianco 

and quarterback Daren Seeger. 

Indoor Youth Soccer League planned at Y 

The Southington YMCA Indoor 

Youth Soccer League is an 

opportunity for boys and g rls n 

grades 1-9 to increase their aerobic 

fitness level, actlieve personal accomplishments 

and meet new 

friends. 

Although competition and winning 

are important concepts to be 

elarned in life, the program is struc- 

tured so that game scores are not 

kept in order to emphasize individual 

success, but to develop communicat,on 

skills, strengthen indtvidual's 

self esteem and to just have 

fun, the YMCA said. 

The YMCA is committed to the 

development of the whole person, 

said Bill Skinner, the YMCA Director 

of Health and Physical Educa- 

tion. "As a result, we try to incorporate 

the concepts ofparticipation, 

teamwork, good sportsmanship 

and fair play, physical fitness, and 

skill development." 

Registration for league play is 

taking place at the YMCA on High 

Street. League games will begin on 

Saturday, November 15. For more 

information, contact Bill Skinner • 

Eye.improving field hockey team finishing up 

The Southington High school 

girls field hockey team will close 

its season Friday at 3:30 p.m.when 

it hosts South Windsor at the local 

field. 

The Lady Knights have come a 

long way since the season started 

in early September. 

The locals came through with 

their most impressive win of the 

campaign last Friday when they 

whitewashed a good Maloney High 

Spartanettes 2-0 at the local field. 

That victory was the third in 

nine decisions while two other 

battles ended in ties. 

The Kights defense rose to 

every occasion in keeping Maloney 

off the scoreboard despite the 

Spartanettes wide territorial edge 

in play during most of the game. 

The Knights took advantage of 

their few scoring opportunit'les and 

took a 1-0 lead midway*in the 

second half when Dawn Casarella 

booted in a rebound past Maloney 

goalie Laura Quirk. 

Sue Hahl received an asslst on 

the goal because she took a shot 

from 10 feet out that was stopped 

by the Maloney netminder and 

Casarella scored on the rebound. 

The Knights utilized a quick 

break several minutes later to score 

an insurance goal. 

Kris Mach disp!ayed an exceptional 

stickhandling exhibition 

for more than 20 yards and then 

sent a long pass to left winger 

Kathy Zering who blasted a 10yarder 

that was partially blocked by 

the Maloney netminder. 

However, the impact of the 

rebound was so hard that the ball 

went into the net. 

The Knights defense played 

hard when it counted most and. 

Southington oalie Chris Malarney 

was outstanding again as she stopped 

14 shots, some on the spec- 

tacular side. 

The locals only had opportunities 

to take four shots throughout 

the battle and scored twice. 

Knights head coach Doreen 

Leahy said, "We were in the right 

place at the right time and Maloney 

had the better scoring opportunities 

and dominated until the final 20 

minutes." 

The Knights and Maloney played 

a 2-2 deadlock in the earlier 

meeting.

Out with the crowd... 

(continued from page 13) 

Comparing ages 

However, the many enthusiastic 

SHS football followers 

point out that there sn't any 

other orgamzed athletic program 

in Southington that makes it 

possible for boys under seven 

years old to compete in V, lth tile 

exception of" football. 

The Southington Yonth S.occer 

League is open for boys and 

girls at the age of 8 and the Little 

League program is offered to 

boys and girls when they reach 

eight and the Youth Basketball 

League is for eight and older. 

Since football is more of a 

contact sport, perhaps it m ght 

be an opportune time to revaluate 

the program. 

,There ts evidence that thereis 

more emphasis placed on winnlng 

in the Southmgton Midget 

Football L'eague than in the 

Suthington Youth Soccer league 

or the Sou,thington Youth Basketball 

League 

We have never received any 

standings or lnd wdual statistics 

in the Southmgton Youth Soccer 

League and there are more than 

I, 100 players. 

Editor's note: In a recent 

issue of Sports Illustrated, 

New York Jets lineman 

Joe Klecko was asked if 

his nine-year old son played 

midget football. The 

players had noticed the 

youngster's "lougnness" 

and love for the game of 

foolball. Answered Kleco: 

No, he won't be playing 

midget football. I think it 

is too young for a youngster 

to be playing football. 

They area't fully develo.p.ed 

yet and the ri k of 

uqury is too great. When 

he gets to high school, 

then he can play.

Whalers Report 

By V.E.Takesian 

staff writer 

The Hartford Whalers 

must tighen up their 

defensive units if they 

are going to move up in 

the tough Adams Divi- 

.,,ion standings this weekend 

when they play a 

home and home series 

w th the always tough 

Buffalo Sabres 

The Whalers with a 

record of 1-2-1 and winless 

in their last three 

NHL battles have given 

up 22 goals while scoring 

15 in the four 

games. 

The nearly six goals 

per game defensive record 

s simply too many 

says Whalers coach Jack 

Evans and "we are devo- 

because some of the 

games are scheduled six 

or seven days apart. 

Right now, Kaiton 

says the players seem to 

be tired of working and 

practicing on the same 

things every day . As a 

result, it has been hard 

for the players to stay 

interested in practicing. 

After doing the same 

thing day after day it 

causes the players to lose 

their enthusiasm and 

drive for practice, he 

points out. 

The ratio of practice 

time to games is so 

unbalanced right now , 

one can see how he 

players feel. They want 

to start an a ggressive, 

game-like routine. 

Looking" ahead the 

where they usually skate, 

check asnd score. All the 

"tips" they earn as volunteer 

waiters will help 

eye health and safety 

programs sponsored by 

the Connecticut Society 

to PrevEnt Blindness. 

"Though this i the 

fifth year we've held the 

dinner, it's the first tune 

we've ever put it on the 

ice" says John McGinley, 

the Society's T p A 

Whaler chairman."We're 

trying to capture the excitement 

era real hockey 

game-- complete w th 

messages flashing on the 

scoreboard, an organist 

and free Whalers 

souvenirs." 

The annual event has 

become one of the most 

successful 

tlngcons derabld time to Whalersare scheduled to ttp-a-celebvrity dinners 

.ehminating the mistake,s, play 17 games in 28 day in the natio.n,'according 

he added. 

The f st battle with 

the Sabres will be played 

in Buffalo Friday at 7;30 

p.m. and this game will 

be televised by W_HCT 

TV Chaunel 18. 

The two NHL rivals 

wdl battle again Saturday 

at 7.35 p.m. at the 

H trfford Civic Cenler. 

The Whalers will 

ho t the vastly improved 

Pm. burgh Penguins 

next Tuesday at 7:35 

p.m. in Hartford. 

Unbeaten Pittsburgh 

t off to i s best NHL 

,,ca,,on start in history 

w rh six straight wins 

and were in first place 

Tuesday in the Patrick 

Division. Led by Marie 

I.emieux, the Penguins 

have scored 34 goals and 

urrendered 20 in six ice 

battles. 

By the way, the 

Southington Parks and 

Recreanon department is 

sponsoring a bus trip for 

th s battle and interested 

l U'tles are requested to 

contact Recreation Director 

Bill Masci if they are 

interested in going. 

Chuck Kaiton, outstanding 

radio voice of 

the Whalers since the 

1979-80 season, says it 

is hard to decide whether 

the Whalers have been 

blc.,,sed or cursed by the 

league's schedule maker 

because only six games 

during a three week permd 

was set for the local 

club. So, for the players, 

the schedule may be 

looked upon as a curse 

Star game. Then in 

Febma there are only 

11 games. Imbalance 

seemns to be tl e way of 

the WhalerS" schedule 

this year. 

We believe the Whalers 

will de'finitely improve 

their offense and 

defense because they will" 

be bus5• in November 

playing 12 games in 29 

days, This type of schedule 

will enable the players to 

sharpen their overall 

skills and regain their 

eorrfidenee that was a 

dominating factor in 

winning- 3)tsyoff berth' 

for the Stanley Cup last 

Spring. 

Top scorers 

To date John Anderson 

with three goals and 

three assists leads the 

Whalers in scoring with 

six points while Paul 

Lawless and Captain 

Ron Francis also have 

three goals and 4 points 

each.
