The younger Calvanese said he

although business is as good as it's

high anxiety for brides-to-be. 

According to Calvanese. the Aqua

"The phone rings off the hook with

Families of the mentally ill to receive 

support through new group 

by Liz Hennessey 

staff writer 

The diagnosis of mental illness can 

be a blg pill for any family to swallow 

In Its own way it might seem worse 

than tet-minal illness to a family newly 

exposed to It. 

Yet mental ilh es does not mean 

mental death. It me'arm chalienges and 

hard work. Btrt -m 'e importantly, 

means understanding and patience 

Problems faced by families of those 

with serious and prolonged mental 

hess would vary slightly with the type 

of illness, according to Donna Wlldman 

of the Community Mental Health Al'flliates 

in New Britain. 

"But no matter what kind of illness 

It is, you still have families coping with 

a loved one who has a disability that 

they don't have an understanding of 

They're really in the dark as to what to 

do." she said. Many of these families 

are unaware of the support services 

and vocational services available 

There is also the misconception 

that medication will cure the illness. 

she sald 

Mental illness can strike the old 

and the young A person may have 

functioned well as a child and then. all 

of a sudden, he has a break and the 

paretats have to cope with t, Wildman 

said The parents go through a grievang 

process, because they feel they have 

lost the child they raised 

"If you have a child whose whole 

life gets disrupted, that's what s difficult 

for the family to cope with." she 

said Sometimes there is the hope that 

their son or daughter is oing to get 

better soon. 

And when the child or spouse does 

not get better, they are sometimes 

brought to institutions, since the fami

can do for them 

"We know that they'ce not lost

some help galrllng more control over 

their lives and networking with other 

people, she said. 

People with mental illness are able 

to function well in a community as 

long as they have support systems, 

Wlldman said. "Sometimes "they need a 

little support " 

And usually the family itself needs 

some support. 

Beginning in mid September. a 

support group for families of those 

with serious and prolonged mental illness 

will be held on 20 consecutive 

Monday evenings at the Southington 

Visiting Nurse Association on Menden 

Avenue The group is limited to 20 

people, so those interested must call

Migliaro paves way for roof 

staff writer 

State Rep. Eugene Migliaro. R-80th 

Dist., has kept his promise. He persuaded 

the State Traffic Co lon (STC) to mspend 

to a request by Lake Compounce 

Festival Park to add a roof over apprmdmutely 

9,000 reserved seats at the park's 

festival siege. 

"I knew damn well Compounes didn't 

want that permit," Mlgllaxo said. "They 

were using that as ammunition to get the 

amphitheater and the bigger parking 

Mi confronted park management 

last week during a meeting at Town Hall 

which included officials from Southington, 

Bristol, Lake Compounce and elected 

state officials. The often outspoken 

as the SIC gave the go-ahead. 

"Well. now i'm telling Compeunce - 

they said ff they got the okay. they'd start 

building today," Migliaro said following 

news that the STC would not hold up the 

project for review. "Compounce said they 

couldnX get the okay from the state. WelL 

I called the state and I got the okay - 

and all I can say to Compounce is, get 

your hammer and youx naris and start 

building." 

Executive Director of the STY. William 

W. Stc ekert, c mflxmed that the state will 

ling aside any roadblock to the roof cons 

'uction presented by the sate. 

Michael Blanco, Compounce marketing 

manager, sald that there is no way 

construction can begin immediately. 

"What will exactly, sequentially take place 

is hard to say." Blanco said. "We do have 

some shows left. We can't Just start bulldozing." 

Blanco said that putting a roof over at 

least a portion of the audience will enhance 

advance sales during any concert, 

but, Blanco admitted. It's no secret that 

the amphitheater was and is the parks 

first preference. But efforts to secure permits 

for the amphitheater construction 

have been continually frustrated by the 

park's inability to establish adequate 

parkas. 

"There's no doubt we're going to put a 

roof over something." Blanco said. "The 

business was a lltfle off this year. but 

look how much It rained. The amphitheater 

- we may possibly put it on hold for 

awhileo° 

Mlgliaro. whose district encompasses 

all of We!colt and part of S . thLng n., 

said he is convinced that a roof over the 

stage and a portion of the audlence will 

dramatically reduce the noise level beyond 

the limits of the par 

"I have a bill that will force them into a 

closed area," Mig said of legislation 

ture meets in February. "But this roof 

could reduce the sound by 40 percent 

and I'm pushing for them to start work on 

it immediately, and new they have no excuses." 

Blanc4} satd that thege ts plenty of 

work to do Just to get ready to begin cons 

'uetinn. "We would put all the wheels in 

motion to start construction immediately 

following the last show - currently 

scheduled for Sept. 8." Blanco said.

Behind the scenes of the Miss Southington pageant 

bYforBarbaraThe Observerpie e 

Pat lVlazzarella knows all about the 

excitement of competing in the Miss 

Southington Scholarship Pageant. Besides 

being business manager for the 

current Miss Southington. Marybeth 

Papciak, she was herself a pageant win* 

ner in 1977. 

Yet, even aRer 12 years, Mazzarella 

recalls the nervousness with which she 

faced the Miss Connecticut competition. 

only two months into her reign. 

here wasn't as much preparation 

in those days." she says. adding that 

competing on the state level so soon after 

receiving her Ufle "was very stressful/ 

Ellminatlng some of that stre s by 

allowing more time to prepare for the 

Miss Connecticut pageant is the main 

reason behind the rescheduling of the 

Miss Southington competition thls year. 

By holding the pageant Saturday, it will 

give the new Miss Southlngton more

skills, and feel more comfortable 

in her new title. In addition, as one 

of the first in the state to be crowned. 

she will have the opportunity to attend 

other pageants and meet the girls who 

will be competing with her for Miss 

Connecticut. 

The August pageant date is also 

more convenient for Mazzarella who, as 

a teacher, has more free time during 

the summer to work on the pagesnL 

It is perhaps her role aa an educator 

which makes Mazzarella plsee such 

a strong emphasis on the educational 

aspect of the competition. This year, 

$1.800 in scholarships will be presented. 

Mazzarella points out that no cash 

is ever awarded to the contestant. The 

money is given directly to the institution 

attended by the winners, or applied 

to student loans for on-going education. 

There is a problem which surfaces 

on a state and national level which 

Mazzarella is determined will not happen 

in the Miss Southington competi- 

tion. It is when contestants, through 

expensive clothing purchases and talent 

lessons, end up spending above and 

beyond the seholsrship award. 

/hieh defeats the purpose." MarzarelIa 

says. She discourages contestants 

from buying rough of anything for 

the local pageant. "I advise the girls to 

wear their prom gown, the dress they 

wear to church. I make them Justify 

their expenditures." 

Clothing money is raised later in 

the year to provide Miss Southlngton 

with a wardrobe to compete in the state 

competition. The amount raised, according 

to Mazzarefla, does not exceed 

the scholarship amount. 

"We tell the girls that. while it's nice 

to have a beautiful gown, and a nice 

outfit, we'd rather present all the money 

we can in scholarship." 

In addition, ,there is a dressmaker 

connected with the Miss Connecticut 

pageant, who donates thousands of dollars 

worth of clothing to be worn by the 

contestants. It l a form of advertising pageant is qnite modest, appmximatefy

The great fear about a tumor is that t is malignant If it's caught soon 

enough, it can be fixed Doctors have been telling us that for years. 

With malignancy, however, comes an even greater fear - the cancer has

opinion. Salvatore said the town is not playing fair by denying his application to

At least Salvatore is up front about his retentions But we question whether 

Selvatore should ever be allowed to reopen the Thunderbird West under any cir

What is affordable?

Well those good old days are back A proposed condominium project for land 

in the rear of the Caldor Village shopping center was termed "affordable" by the 

developer's attorney m ins defense of the plan. 

The units, situated on quarter-acre plots, will range in price from $160.000 

to $180.000 each. 

The Porsche and Ferrarl are affordable cars too. 

in this context "affordable" is a relative term. RelaUve. that is. to the area. 

the average sale price of a home in town and the average annual family income.

John Ertle. who works in HUD's Hartford office explained that the figure 

varies with every applicant. Their program is aimed at helping low to moderate 

income families trying to get out of the rent cycle The maximum limit for a mortgage 

under this program is $I01.250. he sa d. adding. "we feel it's low. very low 

for here in Connecticut." Applications for the mortgage program have been brisk. 

he said. but most of the applicants are looking into condominiums, very few 

houses. 

So what's affordable? 

The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority has similar guide lines with 

higher limits. A new or existing home m Hartford County can not exceed 

$122.000. or $134.000 in New Bntaln. said Carol Montesi. a spokesperson for 

the seff-suslaining stale agency. Income limits are $37.000 for a single adult and 

$48.000 fr a family of four or more. she added. 

Clearly. affordable no longer means housing for those in our society who 

need it as a matter of shelter instead of life style Over the years the definltion 

has become warpped like a beam of light passing through a prism. 

• To term a $160.000 to $180.000 home "affordable" is offensive to those fam- 

Ilies struggling to make ends meet. As much so as catchup being called a vegetable

FROM A WOMAN'S V EW 

OBSi IVER 

THURSDAY, AUGUST 17. 1989 

Congress should heed its own restraints 

Before adjourn 

tng to go home for 

the August recess. 

Congress werked at 

a fevered pace to 

complete its most .t 

basic function 

passing legislation 

to fund everything' 

the federal govern 

ment will spend 

money on m FlseaJ Year 1990. which begins 

on Octob " 1 From the Trideni submarine 

patrolling the North Atlantic to 

the stapler that sits on the desk of an IRS 

agent m Spokane. Washington. the federal 

government spends money m a mindboggling 

number of ways each year. 

And of course. Congress must annually 

approve funding to pay for ts own 

operations, which have come under increasing 

public serutmy For fiscal 1990. 

legislative branch operations will cost 

about $2 1 billion, though 40 percent of 

that amount funds non-congressional offices 

like the General Accounting Office. a 

respected watchdog over government programs, 

and the Government Printing Ofrice. 

which provides mdlions of valuable 

publications to Americans each year The 

actual operations of Congress itself are 

budgeted for $1 3 billion next year. or 

about $5 34 per cn en, which doesn't 

sound hke such a bad deal 

When the House recently considered 

next year's funding for the legislative 

branch, however. It blithely gave itself a 

whopping 10.6 percent increase - despite 

previous agreement with the White 

House that overall spending increases 

w uld be hdd to 4.5 percent. An amendment 

was offered to scale hack this selfindulgent 

largess to the 4 5 percent level 

and would have -saved" $97 million. 

Alas, the heroic amendment, which I 

supported and assumed would be suc- 

Meanwhile, the llouse leadership 

boasts of its success m holding the line 

on Congress s own budget, but to many 

of us who oppose their steady stream of 

budget antics, such action cleaHy represents 

fadure What's -successful" about 

Congress giving itself a l0 6 percent increase 

when federal spending overall is 

limited to a 4 5 percent increase? The 

double standard m outrageous and irresponsible 

Just think of what could have been 

done with that $97 mllllorL It would cover 

the amou_u_t appropria_ted in 198 for 

all programs under the McKlnney Homeless 

Act. which has been underfunded 

every year since its enactment. Or t 

could fund nearly half of the budget of 

the National institute on Aging. which is 

responsible for research on geriatric diseases 

such as Alzhelmer's. At the very 

least, it could be used in - yes - reduce 

the deflcifl 

Congress's reluctance to trtm $97 

million from its own budget - saying, in 

effect. "we've cut all we can" - is a microcosm 

of the natinn's paralysis tn making 

the decisions needed for real progress 

on the deficit. Congress resembles the 

American people as a whole, who claim to 

r nt deficit reduction but are reliably reluctant 

tO see their own favorite spending 

Despite the persistence of $I00 billion-plus 

federal deficits, our society has 

yet to grasp the urgency of problem 

or the inherent coniradicUon of our own 

individual views Each year's inaction enlarges 

the problem like a snowball rolling 

down a hill. And each $100 million cut 

that falls only gives that snowball a little 

more momentum 

It would take over 1.000 amendmerits 

cutUng $100 million each ta solve 

the deficit. While there is no quirk and 

easy solution, if Congress is gotng to 

it is s rious about deficit reduction, it 

should have started with Its own budget 

and cut that $97 million.

A ma=i=r6 of exercising our power 

At then" recent annual convention the 

members of the National Organization for 

Women called for the formation of a third 

political party one that would address the 

needs of women The National Women's 

Political Caucus recently held its annual 

meeting and the focus was on electing pmchoice 

women candidates 

Starting a third party isn't the answer 

to the pobtlcal dlsenfranchtsement of 

women, neither ts the old time concept of 

putting in long years on the envelopestuffing 

lines to earn your credentials so 

that you might have a chance to into 

the upper echelons of political power. The 

first concept wall fragment our efforts. The 

issue is not only repreductlve fi'cedom, but 

also the femlnlzanon of poverty, addressing 

the InaBequactes of day care. the providing 

of adequate health care to all our 

citizens and the establishment of peaceful 

negotiations instead of warmongering. 

These are issues that are of concern not 

only to women, but tO all people who care 

about the well-being of other people. 

The second concept, of long yea of 

internship in order to build credibility. 

simply not acceplable because It takes too 

long and it. also. perpetuates the male 

domination of the political parties. Women 

must learn to recognize their talents and 

the value of their intelligence and knowl- as narrow as it may sound. Those people 

edge. who support the r aoval of our freedom of 

This is not gained while stuffing envelopes 

It Is gained from observing the 

ebbing and flowing of political fortune. 

from being attuned to the undercun'ents 

of meaning of statements by the electorate` 

and from relying on intuition when mak- 

Ing certain campaign decisions. Most of 

this Is foreign to the male segment of our 

population, and particularly to those In 

power within the political parties We must 

first value our talents and then insist that 

they be recognized and utilized within the 

parties of our choice. We must begin to 

question the potential candidates and insisi 

on nominating those that will represent 

feminist and humanist interests. 

Even when not active in a political 

pan'y, we must also begin to show our political 

power by speaking up and asking 

those tough questions of the candidates. 

The compulsory pregnancy people do not 

have any difficulty with this concept: but 

until the recent Supreme Court ruling. 

most pro-Iffers have not been very vocal. It 

is time for us to show the candidates that 

we really ate In the majority and that we 

vote. It Is time for us to show the candidates 

that. while we prefer not to vote on a 

single Issue. we will not support a candidate 

who does not support our fight to reproductive 

freedom. This statement is not 

choice, frequently also advocate the removal 

of other freedoms as well. They obvlously 

do not view women as fully functlanlng 

human beings, but as a membex of 

the species who's biology is their destiny. 

All people who believe that the decision 

to have an abortion is one that is extremel'y 

persanal, who believe that It is inappropriate 

to forte one group's religious 

belief onto an unwilling recipient, must 

begin to be visible and vocal. We must 

seize this opportunity io show the extent 

of our numbers so that candidates will understand 

that It would be politically mere 

advantageous to their careers to be prochoice. 

We must back those candidates up 

at the poles We cannot ask them the Important 

questions and then not support 

them with our votes. 

The time for action is now Forming a 

third political party is not the answer. Becoming 

vocal and visible, asking the hard 

questions, insisting on the right answers 

and backlng the candidates up with our financial 

support and our votes will Insure 

that our freedom of choice will remain intact 

and that other Issues that we consider 

to be Important will be addressed.

The coming 

of the 

harvest is 

now 

"The Comlnl 

of the Harvest 

Now is th 

name of a song 

wrote severs 

years ago on a 

night much like 

the ones we've 

experienced late- 

It was late 

summer. It was damp and muggy. 

The moon was full and big in the 

sky. The changing weather ushered 

a sense of urgency and reflection 

to Ufe. 

It seemed automatic to check 

for growth. ARer all, if the garden 

was changhng, weren't we all? 

Not that long ago, the kids lovingly 

planted annuals, and threw 

pumpkin and marigold seeds upon 

the ground. 

The tiny ,g pe leaves were tightly 

wound with a slim chance of every 

unwinding to fill the patio with 

green. 

With barely a blink of the eye. 

cherry tomatoes are ripe on the 

sprawling plants. The grape leaves 

hide their plump, purple fruit. The 

bright orange flo ,ers have given 

way to miniature pumpkins. 

Heavy stalked gladioli tilt their 

flowers down to the ground. 

"What happened to the summer?" 

[keep asking myself 

j 'lend Sally Rlnald/ had a 

theory that the end of the summer 

was the right time to check for 

growth. She explained how she set 

goals for her children in the sum- 

mer. 

One yem- her 5 year-old daughter 

practiced tieing her shoes. By 

September she mastered the task. 

I like to check for growth too. 

This year it's occurred from the ankles 

down. Each of the children 

has outgrown perfectly good 

leather shoes, waiting for the summer 

to end. 

Three pairs of cheap canvass 

shoes show the wear and tear of a 

season too. They are ready for the 

garbage. 

I'm not certain at this point a 

sudden flurry of activity would 

y/eld few if any. changes before fall. 

The book I hoped one child 

would read is not yet dog-eared. 

The other daughter read an assigned 

book and then realized she 

would not be taking the class. 

"You mean I read it for nothing? 

How depressing." she remarked. 

You see. it had not been a book of 

choice. 

A few summers ago. realizing 

the girls had spent all their vacatlon 

money early. I offered a $2 a 

book incentive deal. Seventy dollars 

later. I knew it was a poor decision. 

But that was then. At mld-August 

it is too late to set reading goals. 

I admit, l've read only one book 

this summer. "P pa. My Father: A 

Celebration of Dads" by Leo 

Buscaglla. 

Instead,l've worked in a frenzy 

trying to complete two 

manuscripts. Both are children's 

books looking for a publisher. 

Always in the back of my mind 

are the lyrics of an impatient song, 

"The Coming of the Harvest." 

I'd like to make a banner of that 

phrase for church. I'm not certain 

I'll complete that or any of the other 

tasks I've procrastinated about 

these last few months. 

I'm not about to measure 

growth beyond the garden. 

But I keep humming are the 

words to that song, "The days are 

short. The night Is soon upon us. 

The coming of the harvest Is now."

Taking a spin 

Stanley Zolynsky, of Sun City, Fla., enjoyed an afternoon in Recreation Park recently ith his grandmm John Ireland, 

of Plantsville. # h , 

When it's more than just kids' 

I got into enterprise 

at an early 

age. I invented a 

scheme with my 

friend Arnie, and 

together we renovated 

an area of 

the old barn be- " 

hind our house. 

We built cupboards 

and 

shelves and a counter, and we used 

blocks of wood for stools. And we 

opened Dick & Arnie's on a shoestring'. 

We printed up fliers - "Dick & 

Arnie's. now open for business, and 

serving the best food on our road 

Come one, come all Breakfast 5 cents. 

Supper I0 cents. Closed for lunch, so 

you'll have to get your own. Fish fry 

Tuesday." 

With that. Dick & Arnle's became a 

functioning, viable establishment cut 

into the back of my father's barn. It 

had a country atmosphere and a downhome 

flavor. 

Arnie and I made sure the chickens 

stayed off the counter, and we nailed 

up cardboard so diners couldn't see 

Grunt, the yearling porker being fattened 

for slaughter. And though evidence 

of Grunt's close proximity did 

drift in thick, eye-watering clouds 

through the dining room, diners never 

did pretest. 

The grand opening was to be the 

fish fry on Tuesday, and Tuesday 

morning at sunrise, Arnie and I headed 

down to the creek below the barn to

had always been just down stream 

from the point where the barnyard runoff 

entered the creek Catfish and 

chubs were a plenty. 

We caught eight catfish and a pailful 

of chubs, and we set out to skin 

them and clean them behind the barn.

Age discrimination 

M . D.F., Sta iford 

Age discrimination in the work

facing older Americans and it is 

an issue that must be addressed by 

Congress. 

Senator Howard Metzenbaum (D- 

OH) has introduced the Age Discrimination 

in Employment Waiver Protection 

Act of 1989. This legislation would 

prevent employers from forcing their 

employees to waive the rights guaranteed 

by the Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission. The bill should 

come to the Senate floor for a vote in 

the near future. 

I am committed to helping older 

Americans lead the lives they deserve 

to lead I will support all legislation de

the stove at the same time - and my

in protest to the premature smoking we 

were giving him. 

My father wasn't happy about the 

charred barn door. and he made us pay

Justice? 

That was 30 years ago. and I m 

wondering how much things have 

changed While George Bush was extolling 

the merits of 30,000 Boy Scouts 

at a jamboree in Bowling Green, V rginla, 

five kids in a Lebanon, Pennsylvania 

park were selling phony drugs 

out of a fishing tackle box. 

Was It marijuana? No. it was yard 

clippings. And it wasn't cocaine, but 

sugar Now, it's safe to say that snorting 

sugar and smoking dried Kentucky 

blue grass can't be healthy. But police 

in Lebanon suspect that the phony 

drugs weren't sold for actual consumption. 

It was the "drug deal" that fasclnated 

these underworld neophytes. 

Arnle and I promised fish and we de- 

Ilvered. The restaurant business - well. 

we did that badly But it was kid's stuff. 

and that. I think, is the difference. 

Dear Senator Lieberman: 

I use the Connecticut mass transit 

system everyday I believe the buses 

are entirely too old and allow dangerous 

fumes to permeate the interior of

all passengers since we are exposed to 

toxic fumes that make us ill And who 

knows what the long term effects of inhaling 

these fumes will be. 

Mr. J.R., Middletown 

Dear Mr. J.R.: 

It's true, that we must not allow our 

aging fleet of buses to have an adverse 

effect on the health of the passengers 

who use them as a primary source of 

transportation. 

In recent months. I have been 

working with the Urban Mass Transit

...And a 

good time 

was had 

by all 

It was t.hat type of day which, had 

we planned it for w eks, could not have 

been more enJ oyable. The impromptu 

call from one of my brothers on Thursday 

the third was casual enough: 

"Maybe we'll take a ride up over the 

weekend." 

Sunday morning brought to my 

door four of my brothers from New 

York. one brother's fiancee and another 

brother's one and a half year old son. 

After making quick work of a dozen 

Dunkin Donut , my brothers eyed my 

husband and Issued the challenge for 

some friendly basketbaU. Not one to 

sist. Tom took up the gauntlet tossed. 

My brothers donned the appropriate 

gear. having come fully prepared for a 

very casual visit, and a swim somewhere 

in Southington on an over 

degree day, 

Lugging a water Jug. fresh fruit and 

some tuwela, we all set out for 

al Park on Woodruff St.reeL My bcothers 

were notably Impressed by the facility. 

especially when we explained that 

Southlngton's recreation areas are 

open to all Town residents - paid for 

by taxes. This was a new concept for 

my them to grasp since all of the 

"town" beaches, pools and parks on 

Long Island require an additional fee 

per family for seasonal use. 

We quickly staked claim to the 

entire basketball court at the Park. 

since no one else was playing in such 

unrelenting heat. I'd by the 

ot my way rom the playgrmmd ¢m 

eral oeeasinns, but didn't reallze how 

wel/ kept the nets and playing surfaco 

were. Same with the adjoining termls 

courts. My husband's and brothers" 

comlnent8 were the similar. 

After several games of two-on-two. 

with the extra man rotating in after 

each seven point victory land tw toddlers 

disrupting play at every chancel, 

we made a circuit of the grounds. My 

young son and nephew sat to the lltde 

league bleachers, accompanied by their 

fathers/uncles leading make believe 

play-by-play A few minutes of cheering 

on imaginary teams {very nice playing 

fields for 11tile lcoguel} and we headed 

toward the swings, and our u|timate 

destination: the pools. 

Memorial Park is really the perfect 

family facility While my brother's girlfriend 

denny and 1 waded with the the 

toddlers in the baby pool, the rest of 

our group swam and relaxed in the 

adult area on the other side of the 

fence. When the young boys w re tired. 

we spread a blanket and towels under 

the trees so they could nap. while all 

around us were Morns. Dads and ktds 

at picnic tables getting ready to cook on 

the open grflls. We were not surprised 

to see several of our neighbors among 

this crowd. 

! can't remember the last time I 

"hung out" with my younger brothers 

- certainly not in the past few y ars. 

Spending the day at Memorial Park was 

a great way to do this, and it didn't cost 

us a cent.

Artist evolves through many media 

by +l rJor e Low 


Serf-taught artist Rudy Ravassio 

has a photographic memory for fine 

detail, 

"I worked on a farm as a youngster." 

he asld, "This helped in my 

later life with the execution of my 

paintings of rural and wildlife 

While attending Meriden High 

School. Ravasslo had amhitlons to be 

an engineering_ draftsman. World War 

II intercepted these plans. Ravassio 

was drafted to serve tn the U.S 

Army. 

Returning in 1946. he was 

employed by Napier dewelry Co. In 

Merlden as a designer and model 

maker and remained there for I0 

years. 

In 1959, he moved to Southing. 

ton and began his own venture in 

the Jewelry advertising business. He 

created and designed for comvartles 

such as McDonnell Douglas. AT& r. 

We$cr lcctrlc. Martin o 

name a few, Advertising Jewelry Is 

used by companies as awards and 

in sales and promotions. 

Rav sslo said he would receive 

the actual telephone, gun or other 

object from the company to copy in 

exact detail. Photos of fighter planes 

and missiles were used as references 

to reproduce in miniature size suitable 

as a pin. Ue clasp or money ellp. 

The most prestigious commis, on 

came from NASA. The lunar lander 

also known as the "LEM" was reproduced 

from 32 pieces of carving in 

both bronze and gold plate. Ravassio 

carved these works entirely by hand 

in metal or silver, then sent them to 

be plated in Providence. RA. 

He also did the original Tel-Star. 

and in commemorative Jewelry. the 

100th space shot. commissioned by 

Vandenburg A r Force Base in Cali. 

fornia. 

This independent business was 

conducted from Havasslo's home for 

20 years. In 1979. RavassIo found a 

need for a bobby and turned to 

painting. 

"When I began to paint, people 

wanted to buy." he said. "At first I 

worked in oils. then dry brush technique, 

using watercolors." 

The School of Art and Design in 

Wethersfleld where Ravassio studied 

for three semesters between 1972 

and 1974 influenced his painting 

style, which resembles the work of 

Andrew Wyeth. 

Sales and commissions for his 

paintings have been his sole source

From May to October Ravassio 

ex_rtihits in outdoor shows from Portland. 

Maine to Cherry Hill, N.d. He 

ira.rues and mats all his own work.

most beneficial. Cathy Needle Craft 

inc. has. over a 12-year period, used 

20 Ravassio paintings of Audubontype 

birds and charming rural 

scenes for needlework kits. The),

and Good Housekeeping magazines, 

Scofaturnabene An Publishing 

Company has reproduced 10 of 

Ravasaio's paintings as prints in the 

past seven years on a royalty basis. 

In 1969. Ravasslo photographed 

barns throughout New England to 

use as inspiration for later watercolor 

paintings. Many of the barns no 

longer exist. In 1979, he painted 

from his own photos of New England 

lighthouses. 

*Drawing is most Importanl to a 

painting.* said Ravasslo. "I llke to 

paint from experience. I also enjoy 

helping other artists with constructive 

advice." Ravasslo taught art 

InstnteUon after .h.!a three ."mcsters 

In Wethersfleld and emphasized 

strong drawing then. 

Currently. Ravassio is concentrating 

on historic paintings. He has 

IeCe[ved many commissions from 

various New England towns and 

enjays this above anything else. He 

Is most interested in Southington 

history and plans to paint re-creations 

of Southtngton as It was in 

the past.

of ConnecUcut Bank & Trust Company 

has three Ravassio paintings 

on display as part of a large commission 

from CBT His work appears In 

many of their banks. Over the years

awards, including "Best In Show" 

and numerous purchase awards, 

throughout New England.

MONEY T PS 

Tax time is year round 

You could almost hear the count / 

heave a collective sigh of relief at midnight 

on April 17. That was the official 

end of tax season this year. 

For many, it signaled the start of a 

nine-month vacation from worrying 

about Uncle Sam's hand in their pocket. 

But for the financially prudent, it 

meant time to review ways to reduce 

the ta bite on his year's income. 

Accordk, g to the expe ts, eveBq tng 

you need to know about minimizing 

your taxes falls into two categoriesmaximize 

your deductions and minimize 

tour taxable income. After that. it 

gets tricky, but we can break it down 

into some basic guidelines: 

•Accelerate or defer income and 

deductions. In making a decision, you 

will not only need to protect your 

income and deductions for 1989, but 

for 1990 too. You may wish to defer 

income and accelerate deductions if 

you feel that your '89 income will be 

greater than what you think you'll earn 

in '90. On the other hand, if you feel 

that your 1990 income will be greater 

than what you expect to earn in 1989, 

you should consider accelerating 

income and deferring deductions. 

These strategies may be used to reduce 

or avoid the impact of having your 

income taxed at a higher tax bracket. 

•Take advantage of all deductions. 

The number of deductions available to 

taxpayers has been seriously reduced 

by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, making 

those that remain all the more valuable. 

Let's look at medical expenses, for 

example. If you itemize deductions, 

only the amount that exceeds 7.5 percent 

of your adjusted gross income will 

be deductible. That means if your 

adjusted gross income is $50,000, your 

medical expenses over $3,750 would be 

deductible. If you anticipate incurring 

significant expenses next year, you may 

want to postpone elective medical care 

you planned for 1989 until 1990. 

Grouping these expenses together will 

give you a greater chance of being able 

to benefit from this deduction. 

•Interest paid on loans is another 

area you should look at. This year, Just 

20 percent of consumer interest, such 

as credit card or personal loan interest. 

is deductible. Next year, it Mill drop to 

I0 percent. In 1991, it will be elimLnated. 

Since, in most cases, interest on 

home loans remains 100 percent 

deductible, you should consider applying 

for a home equity loan to pay off 

your other loans and consolidate your 

debt. If your loan does not exceed 

$I00,000, this will allow you to convert 

consulner interest that is mostly nondeductible 

to interest that is fully 

deductible. 

*Don't forget about your IRA. If 

you're still eligible for an Individual 

Rettremen.t Account deduction, 

contribution will lower your taxable 

income. If you're not. income earned on 

your contribution will not be subject to 

current taxation until the age of 70 and 

a half or until your withdraw from your 

account. And you gain again if you 

contribute to your IRA early in the 

year- the power of compounding interest 

on interest could add more dollars 

to your retirement pot. Self-employed 

individuals should also consider establishment 

or making contributions to a 

Keough account 

*Minimize taxes on your investments. 

With proper planning, you can 

benefit from certain deductions and 

losses Currently. you may only deduct 

up to $3,000 in capitol losses in a given 

year These losses may only be offset by 

capital gains- excess capital losses 

during the year, sellLng securities with 

ah-eady existing gains will allow you to 

benefit from these losses. 

*Medicare recipients and people 

over 65 should also be aware of the 

new tax imposed by the Medicare 

Catastrophic Coverage Act. This year, 

individuals eligible for Part A Medicare 

coverage will have to pay a tax surcharge 

of $22.50 for every $150 of tax 

liability to the maximum of $800. The 

maximum premium goes up by $50 

each year until 1993. when it stabilizes 

at $1.050. Thus, if you reduce your 

federal tax llabitity, you will reduce the 

surcharge. 

So if you were thinking about tak. 

ing a mental vacation from income 

taxes, think again. Some planning now 

could save you headaches and dollars 

in April of next year. Before implementing 

any of these strategies, be sure to 

consult your tax advisor.

CROMWELL - Since 1977, the 

Connecticut High School Coaches 

Association selects a former state scholastic 

athlete who has gone on to 

achieve success in sports, beyond the 

state level 

This year was no different. Last 

week, the CHSCA chose former Lewis 

High School great Jack Zflly. 

"As a member of the CIAC, and the 

78,000 athletes it represents, "CHSCA 

President Thomas Murray said. "I congratulate 

those inductees. The committee 

is proud of what they have accomplished." 

Part of the committee was Zilly's 

former high school football coach, and 

long time Lewis and Scuthington High 

School athletic director, Joe Fontana. 

Recently retired from the committee. 

Fontana is also a member of the 

CHSCA Hall of Fame. He was inducted 

during its inaugural season back in 

1977. 

"We will miss him greatly," Michael 

Savage the Executive Director of the 

Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic 

Conference (CIAC} said to full house. 

"However with having his nephew 

(John Fontana) replacing him, we 

expect the same cooperation." A 

CHSCA administrator and National 

Director for many yeaxs, John, llke his 

uncle, was inducted into the Hail two 

years ago. 

Tough act to follow 

Prior to Zllly's induction Matthew 

Shortell or has he's also been referred 

to: "Mr. Ansonla.* was the last of eight 

former Connecticut coaches of the 

night to be enshrined. "Pop," as he is 

more commonly known, had the crowd 

of over 400 in the palm of hls hand 

during his entire acceptance speech. 

"The trophies etc. are nice, but 

someday that "Guy" up there (pointing 

skyward) who has the big Hall of Fame. 

will I hope some day say to me. Thanks 

Pop.... come on up.'* Shortell, also 

th-ne to thank his family, in particular 

his sister. 

"I like to thank, my sister Dorothy 

wtto taught me all I know.... and took 

my tests " 

Following Shortell to the podium, 

was a tough act to follow. But after 

eluding the grasp of many a charging 

llnebacker, Zllly was able to see himseff 

dear. 

"First I'd like to thank the CHSCA 

committee," he said. "I consider this a 

high point in my career." 

Of which there were many. 

Upon graduation from Lewis High, 

and a one year stint at Cheshire Academy, 

Zllly went on to become an outstanding 

two-way player at the University 

of Notre Dame. 

The tie he wore that evening prominentl 

displayed his pride in the Fightin' 

Irish. 

"In 1946 we were involved in a 0-0 

tie with Army," Zilly recalled. "It was 

one of the most exciting games ever," 

After graduation Zllly went on to 

play for the Los Angeles Rams where 

starred as a pass receiver. Quarterbacking 

during the latter part of his 

four-year NFL career was All-Star. 

Norm vanBrocldin. Under the guidance 

of coach Joe Stydahar, the Rams won 

the 1951 NFL Championship. 

"Coach Fontana 

kicked me in the butt 

a couple of times!" 

Jack Zilly 

CHSCA inductee 

Out west. Zflly caught 23 passes in 

all, 13 in 1948 - his best season - for 

a total of 169 yards. "We had to play on 

both sides of the ball in those days," 

Zilly said. "In those days the pass was 

not as big as an offensive threat as it is 

today. The evolution of the game has 

changed so much since then. The passing 

game is much more noticeable now. 

"We had a pretty good team," Zflly 

understated, "We made the championship 

game on three straight occasions. 

We lost the first two, (Cleveland 

and Philadelphia) but then came back 

to beat the Browns." 

In 1952, Zilly moved back east to 

play one last season with the Phfladelphla 

Eagles before retiring. 

Eventually, 7Jdly went on to become 

the head coach at the University of 

Rhode IsLand. He lasted seven seasons 

before returning to Philadelphia. There 

he teamed up with good friend and 

Eagles' heat cogch. Jerry Williams. 

7-ally coached the offensive backfield. 

When Williams was dismissed three 

games into the 1971 campaign, the two 

men headed north to Canada, and the 

Canadian Football League. Together 

they led the HamJltsn Tiger Cats to the 

1972 Grey Cup Championship. Hamilton 

defeated Saskatchewan 13-10. 

"During the '72 regular season, we 

were I I-3." Chris Dowhun. the Ti-Cats 

communications director said. That set 

a club record for most wins in one season, 

still held today. In 1981, the mark

was tied. 

"I really loved It up there, (Hamilton, 

Ontario)," ZflIy said. "It was a "hard 

hat' city and the attitude of the fans 

was great. They really loved their team. 

We all liked thatt* 

Before his head coaching debut at 

RIU. Zilly served as an assistant at 

Montana State, while serving as the 

freshman coach for the football, baseball 

and basketball teams. He then 

returned to Notre Dame and later to 

Brown University where he was the 

offensive and defensive ends' coach. In 

1969 he returned to the Eagles. 

Top quallty 

"Zilly is an outstanding young 

man." Joe Fontana told The Observer 

july 27). Respect goes beth ways. 

"I could remember coach Fontana 

kicked me in the butt a couple of 

times." Zilly Joked. "But he's still a 

great coach." 

Bill Zflly - former owner of Ox ey 

Drug in downtown Southington - also 

.n exceptional athlete at Yale - guided 

his brother'when t ca e to academics. 

*He used to put me in the room and 

watch the door (stay closedJ to make 

sure I'd study." Jack recalled. "I owe 

him a lot." 

During his acceptance speech, ZiIIy 

ttributed some of his success to those 

wo people. "My brother Bill taught me 

'_he value of education. Second is Joe 

Fontana. He recognized the talents of 

l his athletes. Between these two genlemen, 

I was fortunate enough to be 

:llrected in the right direcUon." he said. 

"As for my wife {Eulalia) of 40 years 

nd my children I'm a very lucky man." 

The Zflly's have six children, and 10 

grandchildren.

Like the actress Lana Turner, (who 

was discovered at the soda fountain), 

Zilly was "discovered" on the gridiron. 

When the producers called on the 

l ns who played in those days at the 

Los Angeles Coliseum - where the L. 

A. Raiders now play -- ZiIIy was used 

as "double" for Vic Mature. 

*It was in a movie staring Lucille 

Ball and Mature." Zfliy recalled, Eventually 

Zflly, through a friend of his who 

knew an executive at Universal Studios, 

Zilly received more "stand-ln" 

parts. He later earned some speaking 

roles which included movies with John 

Wayne and Gregory Peck, including, 

"12 o'clock High" and *Easy Rider." 

"I was no actor," Zfliy claims. *But 

they were offering better money than 

what I was making playing pro bail. If 

you spoke, you earned $175 per day. 

regardless if you ever spoke again. That 

was pretty good In those days.l 

"In a playoff game I was in," Zilly 

said, "I received only $75, less 25-percent. 

But they did give me a wallet 

which I still use today. 

"Nowadays, the money they pay the 

athletes is so big. In our day we didn't 

make enough money, so We worked 

other Jobs." he said. "We didn't have 

money to get any drugs. It (the drug 

scene) wasn't as prevalent in my tL'ne. 

There was no problems to my knowledge. 

I think the big money they make 

is part of the drug problem we have 

now. "

Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS. which was 

Involved In an accident. Most of the car 

was burnt out when Stakey found it In 

the lot of one of his major sponsors. 

Woodford Auto. "1 he car was stripped to 

Its frame and outer skin. Three months 

and $10,000 later, the crew felt they 

had a potential winner. 

All vinyl was removed from the interior 

and replaced with sheet metal. 

Next a roll cage, designed by Cliff and 

his father, was fashioned from metal 

tubing. The first purpose of the cage is 

to protect the driver. Additionally. In 

late-model cars with no contInuous 

frame runnh from front to hack. this 

web of tubing controls torsion, or the 

twisting of the body between the front 

and rear axles. 

Stakey has tested the strength of 

the design in a race and it has passed. 

The tubing surrounds the [merior 

of the car. Tubes passing within two 

feet of the driver are heavily padded as 

Is the steering wheel. The ordy seat let 

In the car is a deeply scuplted seat that 

fits Stakey's frame exactly. He is held 

in place with a heavy four-poInt safety 

belt system. A fire extinguisher, gauges. 

window safety net and shatterproof 

texan windshield round out the stark. 

no nonsense Interior of the car designed 

to protect the driver. 

The NASCAR required precaution 

does not end there. Stakey wears a 

three piece fireproof suit. In addition to 

a helmet, gloves, goggles and driving 

shoes. 

The original fuel tank was replaced 

with a fuel celt designed to take the impact 

of a crash without exploding. 

A "small block" 1350 cubic inch} 

Chevrolet engine powers Stakey around 

the track. This engine is popular in this 

class because It Is Light and powerful. 

T/A Racing of PlainvKle. prepared the 

engine for Stakey's car and. after 

$7500 of work .left few moving parts or 

machined surfaces untouched In the 

pursuit for more horsepower. 

However. when pressed for the motor's 

output. Stakey develops a ease of 

'racer's amnesia.' "Ah. well. its like this 

... the last time I gave out a Ispeclflcl 

number, the NASCAR technicians tore 

my engine down to the block. Very annoying, 

ff you know what I mean. and it 

turned out to be totally unnecessary. 

So rll just say that we're, ah _. competitive." 

The overhead lights of the garage 

reveal minor bruises from past races on 

the car's black and yellow skin. 

"They're ordy new until the first lap." 

Stakey sa 's, while eying the car. "Abet

I can count on them for all kinds of 

help. You need guys like this in racing." 

says Stakey 

. while the crew's work and light banter 

echo through the garage In the background. 

Once work Is completed, the car is 

loaded on the hack of the hauler - a 

heavy truck with a pitched ramp In the 

rear for the car to drive on. Then everything 

is checked one last time before 

the truck and Its charge are locked behind 

the tall garage doors. 

Friday night and on track 

Bud Stakey drives his sows hauler 

to Stafford on Friday afternoon. Cliff 

and the rest of the crew arrive at the 

track around 5 p m. 

The pit area is a bustling, noisy 

place where dozens of multi-colored 

cars from three different divisions 

crowd against one another as hundreds 

of crew members scurry about. 

NASCAR officials inspect for safety and 

rules vlolat ons. 

"Those guys have a really tough 

Job," Stakey says. "When they're right, 

everyone is mad at them and when 

they're wrong, everyone is mad at 

them, They do a good Job . though, a 

necessary one. Like keeping the cars 

safe." 

The track loudspeakers call 

Stakey's division to the track for warm 

up laps. 

He climbs into the car. through the 

driver's window, punches the starter 

button. In a spit second the engine 

roars to life. He will have seven laps 

around the half-mile oval to determine 

if the car needs added fine tuning. 

The crew goes track side to watch 

for any visual signs of trouble that 

Stakey might miss. After the car was 

brought up to speed an ignition problem 

surfaces. The car comes back in, 

the crew pounce. on the problem, and 

minute later Stakey is back out on the 

track. 

Aider his Late Model division oomplete 

warm ups, the track is taken over 

by the Pro-Stock and SK Modifleds - 

much faster and consequently more expensive 

crowd to run with. Stakey 

hopes a ride In the upper divisions is in 

his future. "I wouldn't mind running a 

rood, I really wouldn't. Travel around 

and all. If the right break comes along, 

why not." he asks. 

Before the drivers and their team 

dig in for a full night of racing the track 

loudspeakers announce a drivers meeting. 

This is a Friday night tradition.

Crew member Jody Mills. of Plainvi]le. and driver Cl/fford Stakey look over the eng/ne comparb ent of #66 the 

night before the races. 

Whey {track officials) gather us all together 

and yell at us for what we did 

last week and tell us not to do it again." 

remarks Stakey, adding. "We will " 

Shortly ai erwards, his division is 

called to prepare for their "heat" race 

This Is the first of three mini races In 

which the lL.'st seven finishers out of 

each race are entered into the main 

event or feature. Those that don't make 

this cut will be given another chance. 

this time for one of only four positions 

in the feature event. The competition m 

stiff. 

Stakey finished a close second in 

his heat and clinches a position In the 

field of cars. Sometimes these qualifying 

heats can be more competitive than 

the main event. When asked what it's 

like out there during a race. Stakey ex 

plains, "Well let's see You have about 

1001 different things going through 

your head. Who's In front9 Who's next

quicker'? Anything that we did or 

changed on the car during the week 

comes to mind Did we bolt that down9

those butterflies ... things happen 

qulcldy. One mislay,e with these guys 

in a pack and you can go from 5th to 

15th In a quarter mile. You can get tak 

en out very quickly " 

And what of the physical toll raci:,g 

takes out of the driver?. 

"when the car isn't handling cor 

rcctly, you're fighting the wheel all the 

way around the track, and your arms 

get tired, really tired Heat. though, ts a

he exc ns Most of the noise from his

through his helmet, he explains

says it is dangerous sometimes. "But 

not as dangerous as driving down a 

highway filled with drtmks. I'll take 

racing any day. The way this car is 

built, the safety equipment, all these 

things make it relatively safe. But in 

the back of your mind you know there's 

a little danger. When you see a guy 

wreck ... some guys are dose to us and 

ff you see the track safety crew working 

on the car. and you have to pass him 

three or four times, you start to sweat " 

Minutes before the feature race. 

Stakey sits comfortably in the cockpit 

of the car talking with his crew and

called from the pits to start their lea
