Conflict-of-interest allegations surfaced 

Tuesday over Planniy , and Zoning 

Commissioner Carl Verderame's involvemerit 

in a June 7 vote, which gave B.V.D. 

Corp. approval on a zone change application. 

The allegations appeared in a local 

newspaper art/He. 

B.V.D. Corp. is a partnership which 

in.eludes Fr npls Verdera.me. the 

commission t:'s brother. ' -- ' 

The newspaper said that Verderame 

was underscrutiny for conflict ofinterest, 

because he participated in discussion 

and the eventual 6-1 vote to change a 7acre 

parcel of land on Clark Street frmn 

industrial zoning to residential. Verderame 

voted in favor of the zone change. 

"! did not feel my decision to vote 

constituted a conflict." Verderame said. "I 

made a" conscious decision. I feel it was 

the right one." 

.Questions were raised by some officials 

as to who would profit most by 

exposing the Verderame issue. The trail is 

almost cold. The vote took place five 

months ago - and even though there 

were rumblings at the time. no public 

protest was made about Verderame's 

Involvement in the 6-1 decision. 

Members of the planning board and 

other town officials said they could not 

name the source the newspaper used to 

establish the stow. At least one member 

said that perhaps the newspapecwasonly 

guilty of "good investigative reporting," - 

but as the day wore on. more and more 

fingers were pointing in one direction - 

local developer Richard Ayotte. 

In 1987, B.V.D. purchased the 7-acre 

Clark Street parcel of land in question 

from Clark Bros. Bolt Co. for $405,000. 

B.V,D. received the zone change in June. 

and in August. sold the property to Richard 

and Sharon Ayotte for $700,000. 

R chard Ayotte and Mark Peterson are 

partners in the development company.

ELECTION 

ANALYSIS 

by t /ehanl 9ulnn 

atsff writer 

Several of the poliUcal races directly 

affecting Southlngton have stirred the 

interest of townspeople beyond even the 

expectations of the candidates themselves. 

At least one incumbent has found 

himself facing three challengers, while 

another has run unopposed. Mudslinging 

Is always a viable weapon. 

Still. the voters will decide on Nov. 8. 

Here is a recap ofsome key races and a list 

of candidates in state and federal races. 

80th District 

Democrats in the 80th General Assembly 

District have sent 21-year-old 

Thomas Langdon of Southington to take 

on seven-term Republican incumbent 

Eugene Migliaro of Wolcott. 

Migliaro. a loud defender of veterans 

rights, and outspoken against gay rights. 

has brought to his campaign the experience 

of eight previous bores for the iegis- 

]alive seat. 

During the last session of the Leglslalure, 

Migllaro was severely criticized for 

refering to gays as "lollipops.* But 

M/gllaro, never one to back down from a 

fight, defended his stand and opposed the 

gay rights bill. 

If past poll results are a yardstick, 

Migllaro is popular in the 80th Distrtet. 

Winrdng by a 4.800-vote plural/W /'our 

years ago, a large margin by any standard. 

Mlgllaro ran uncontested two yesm 

ago. 

Though young, Langdon said he has 

had good response from both Soutldngton 

and Wolcott. Portions of both towns 

are included in the 80th District. 

Langdon has accused M/gliaro of 

making an issue of his age, and said the 

ploy has backfired on the 62-year-old 

legislator, 

"I'm stressing issues that will have an 

impact on the future." Langdon said, "but 

my opponent is stressing the here and 

now." 

Mlgllaro has accused Langdon of not 

confronting the issues, while spealdug 

out on the death penalty for convicted 

drug dealers, and veterans rights. 

Langdon said Migllaro uses the emotional 

issues to cloud other issues, and

BOE approves athletics report- 

by Li He ne e 

staff rlter 

After much discussion and debate, 

the report of the AthleUcs Review Task 

Force has been approved in total by the 

Board of Education. 

In the third public review of the report. 

only two amendments were tagged 

onto recommendations for the Improvement 

of Southlngton's athletic programs 

when the school bbard voted favorably 

Tuesday night. 

By a unanlmous vote, action was 

postponed on the recommendation that 

students involved in athletic programs be 

required to take gym classes. The current 

policy of excusing athletes from glnn 

during their active season will remaih in 

the board members, who asked Superlntendent 

of Schools Dr. Louis Saloom to 

study the economic feasibility of such a 

Removal ofgate fees could be a way to 

generate more fan support, according to 

Southlngton High School Principal Jerome 

Auclair, who co-chalred the task 

force. 

Many families llke to attend games in 

which their child is participating, and at 

two dollars a head for adults and one 

dollar for children, that can add up to a lot 

of money, board chairwoman Cheryl 

Waack said. She asked that families of 

athletes be admitted to games for free or 

at a reduced cost.

place until next year, when th.e K.12 who also eo-ehaired, he ta k force, said 

physical education curriculum is re- ' that the teams n d' the r 'venu brb'0 t 

viewed. Board members Joseph AngeUllo..J y.tlcket sole , Although, there &re 20 

and Zaya Oshana were absent from the teams, ordy four are bringing in any 

meeting. 

The task force suggestion to establish 

a booster club council to oversee 

fund-raising activities was accepted by 

the board members, with one dissenting 

vote from Peter Martin. 

The power of the council was medifled 

by an amendment to the recommendation, 

because some board members 

said a cooperative effort should be 

stressed. The task force had suggested 

that the council, which would include 

school officials, a coach, the athletic coordlnator 

and a rep sentative from each 

booster club, would be empowered to 

approve fundralsing and expenditures. 

The school board will now assume 

more responsibility for funding athletic 

programs and the need for booster club 

efforts will be diminished in time. according 

to the report. 

The absence of financial support 

from the board had put the burden of 

fund-raising on booster clubs and created 

some inequities among the teams. 

the report states. The booster club funds 

will primarily be used for special purposes, 

such as championship awards and 

special equipment. 

David Forrest's motion to allow 

nlnth-£p'aders to participate on all high 

school teams went unseconded, leaving 

in place the present policy, which allows 

ninth-grade participation only in high 

school sports not offered at their own 

school. 

The elimination of admission fees to 

athletic events was discussed at length by 

monetary return, he said. 

"They're carrying the load," D'Angclo 

said. 

About $22.000is raised through gate 

fees each year, D'Angelo said. A football 

game last week raised about $1.000. but 

afterexpenses only $550 was left, he said; 

"Given the present funding structure, 

there's a lot of pressure m generate 

receipts." Saloom said. 

Gate receipts will be turned over to 

the school board according to the task 

force recommendation, but somewhere 

down the line admission fees would be 

phased out, Auclalr said. 

Other Items in the report which were 

discussed and approved by the school 

board included the need for supervisors 

to assist coaches and for maintenance 

work and additions to athletic facilities. 

The task force also asked that an 

athletic tmlner be available at the high 

school and Junior high schools for all 

practices and home games, and that 

transportation be provided for small 

teams, which do not have cons Istent 

means of travel to games and practices. 

High school athletes will be honored 

at the end of each sports season with a 

banquet, the report states, and theJurflor 

high schools will each hold one banquet 

at the end of the school year to honor all 

their athletes. 

Salooro told the school board members 

that some ofthe report's suggestions 

would not be included in this or even next 

year'S budget, since implementation 

would take i

In -, unanimous vote, the Board of 

EducaOon decided that two part-time 

teacher aides will be hired to assist in 

oversized classes at Strong and South 

End elementary schools. 

The board also asked the superintendent 

of schools to examine the third- and 

fifth-grades at Plantsville and Strong 

to determine ff extra help is 

needed in these classrooms, and at what 

co t. While the average first-grade class in 

Southington has between 17 and 21 students, 

class enrollment In the two first- 

South End School is at 23 

students. Strong School has two 

first-grade classes of 23 students each. 

At present, there Is no balance in the 

account, Dr. Louis Sasuperintendent, 

said. so additional 

e needed ifparaprofesstonteacher 

aides) are hired. 

The sala for each additional:halftime 

paraprofessional is about $5.000, 

according to Saloom. moze precise estimate 

be determined before the next 

board meeting. 

School board member Margaret 

Edgerly said she is most concerned about 

paraprofessionals for students in the 

lower elementary grades, especially up 

through grade three. She said she considers 

the first-graders as priorities, and 

after them, the third-graders at 

Plantsville and Strong schools. 

Average class size for Souihington 

third,graders is between 15 and 22. 

Plantsville's two third-grade classrooms 

have 24 and 25 students, and Strong's 

third-grades have 23 and 24 students 

enrolled. The fifth-grades at Strong hold 

24 and 25 children, the largest fifth-grade 

enrollment in the school system. 

Plainylile's school board has expressed 

' the same concerns as 

Southington's - that over the next five 

year ., they will run out of classroom 

space, according to board member Walter 

Dei'ynoski. And they're talking of class 

sizes of 24, he said. Southington is Innking 

at class sizes above 25.

have it now,," h.e, said. .

An increas in enrollment in the 

Special Education Pre-S hoot Program, 

which is housed at Thalberg School. also 

suggests the need for more space, Salcom 

told board members. 

A pre-sohool class ,will be added to 

Hatton school, with state grant funds. 

and an additional teacher will likely be 

requested on next year's budget, he said. 

The newclass will, unfortunately, remove 

the onl available elementary classroom 

in the school, system. 

The school board has already authorlzed 

a study to see where schools can 

add classroom space. Some cost estimates 

and design solutions should be

Ran Hardy of Falth Baptist Chruch. 

"We at Fa/th Baptist Chur .h want to 

:reachout tothe needyand hungtypeople 

In Southinglon through the Iseal food 

bank and around the world, through 

World Relief, the helping agency of the 

Natlona Association of Evangellcals." 

Hardy said. 

Early In October. each family at the 

church began saving coins In speelal 

banks, which have been put on their 

dining tables. At each meal, the family 

puts money In the banks, thanking God 

for their own food, and remembering the 

hungry people around the world, Hardy 

sald. 

The banks will be brought.to a fatally 

fellowshlp supper on Nov. 20 at the 

church, 

Money collected wfil be sent to World 

Relief, which distributes food and other 

ald directly to the needy through local 

churches In various countries. Hardy 

said. 

During November. church famtlles 

will bring non-perishable food items to 

t e church. These will be taken to the 

Vlslting Nurses Assoc/ation to help restock 

the food bank shelves, he said. 

MaryJaneCom, directoroftheV.N.A, 

sald the organization always apprcclates 

donstions for the food bank. 

"Success is lependant upon danations 

from the community. We especially 

need proteln foods, frults and Julces, but 

all non-perishable items are welcome. 

Anyone may bring donations to us from 8 

a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Frlday," 

she said. 

and a boy was sent to the seminary on 

these donations, she said. 

Only 13 percent of the nsttonal 

government's budget goes to education. 

according to Slezak. The teachers themselves 

aren't very dedicated to educating 

the villagers, and they often look down on 

the people, she sa/d. They come from the 

cry of Esquipulas and teach for three 

days a week. although they are commis- 

sloned to teach for fl e. 

Although Slezak has some com- 

plaints about the educational standards 

for youngsters, she said she Is Impressed 

with an educational radio program for 

adults initiated by the Guatemalan gayyear 

plan, she said. The center wtil be 

used for gatherings and youth retreats 

among other community activities. Darm 

rooms, a kitchen area and a chapel wtil 

eventually be bu t onto the center, she 

said. 

Donations are needed for building 

the center, which wfil cost a total ofabout 

$3,000 In American dollars, Slezak said. 

If anyone wishes to help this cause, she 

said, they may send donations to "Build-

There mdSt be a mason to vote 

Evew time this country goes to elect a president, we hear people say that they are 

not going to vote. 

The reason they give is the sm e most of the time: The choices offered by both 

political parties are bad. 

This year is no exception. People who do not want to vote are using the same 

George Bush is a pretty pale follow-up to the charismatic Ronald Reagan. who 

swept an entire country away. right over the likes of Jimmy Carter and Walter 

Mondale. 

With the Iran-Contra aft'air coming late in the Reagan presidency. Bush 1 z been 

questioned as tohis role in the whole deal - and many people are notbuyinghis claim 

to ignorance. 

And even die-hard leyal-to-the-party l publicans have to be eringing at the 

thought of voting for a man who referred to Sept. 7 as Pearl Harbor Day. 

But then there is Michael Dukakis. Some Maesachusetts residents have said they 

have high hopes that Dukakls will be elected -- because they want him out of 

Massachusetts. 

Under Dukakis. the Boston Harboris a filthy, polluted mess. "l .ls Is especially not 

good considering the East Coast's summer bout with medical waste on its beaches. 

Dukakis has been called soft on crime. And his vice-president seems to have more 

experience and know-how than he does. 

Both presidential candidates have run a negative campaign, and have muddied 

the issues with their negativism. 

In the state races, we have it a little easier. This year's mudslinging actually seems 

to have been kept to a minimum. There are some candidates who are truing,todiscuss 

issues. . ", ,...... 

But there are still those who have.resarted to dirty campaign tacttc In the race 

for the U.S. House of Representatives. for example. Jim GriflLn and incumbent Nancy 

Johnson sniped back and forth. Gr/ffin accused Johnson of voting for rapists when 

she voted against a piece of gun control legislation, and Johnson had a run-in with 

some Grifl supporters at a parade. Supporters accused her of trying to grab their 

"Griffin for Cor -esa" lapel buttons, and people in the Griffin camp retaliated by 

having buttons made which said, "Grab this. Nancy." 

Sometimes, sorting out the issues is hard when there is mud being slung, and 

going out to vote can seem a pretty discouraging task. 

But we ought to do it anyway. Why not? Someone is going to get elected, with or 

without us. We might as well have some input. 

If we think hard enough about the candidates, we might decide that there is one 

who does have Jus, a little bit more to offer. 

Or. maybe we might go ahead and vote straight Republican -- except ofcourse, for 

Lowell Welcker - or maybe, straight Dernoorat- except of course, for Jt eph 

Lieberman. 

Ifwe"re really fed up. maybe we can find someone we like in an independent party. 

Or. we can write in a candidate. 

Whatever. Surely there is some ideal we want to protect, or same point we'd I/ke 

to make by voting. 

We shouldn't waste the opportunity. Women marched for the right to vote. Blacks 

fought for it. In some countries, people only wish they had it. 

So go ahead. Get out there and vote for somebody. And don't slip in the mu i. J.S. 

Senate race hot between 

Weicker, Lieberman 

Suddenly, the 

Connecticut race 

to watch is the U.S. 

Senate battle between 

Lowell P. 

Weicker, the Republican 

incum- ,x 

bent, and Attorney 

General Joseph 

Lieberman, the 

Democratic challenger. 

The most recent 

statewide poll. conducted by the 

InstRute for Social Inquiry at the University 

ofCormectlcut, rated the contest as a 

dead heat. That came as a shocker, because 

earlier polls had put Weicker ahead 

by a comfortable 14 points. 

Pundits and political Insiders question 

the numbers, but the poll has put a 

new focus on the fight. With two weeks to 

go, the poll has energized both camps. 

They are preparing for a alugfest to the 

finish. 

Wcickcr started as the heavy favorite. 

Early polls showed him well ahead• 

Lleberman received the Demccrstic 

nomination because he wanted it and 

because few Democrats wanted to challenge 

the incumbent. 

As attorney general, too, Lleberman 

has built a salid reputation for himself. He 

is credited with doing more in the interest 

of state citizens than any 

general of the modern era. But few political 

types viewed the Lleberman candidacy 

as a serious threat. 

Weicker has gained the endorsement 

ofthe big la"t r groups -- support usually 

reserved for-Democrats. 

Hmvever, Lteberman hasn't been 

seared offbythe big guy. He has waged an 

intelligent and aggressive campaign, fueled 

by enough money to make it a real 

As t e underdog, he has challenged 

Welcker's voting and attendance records. 

He has charged that Welcker played too 

much hooky in the Senate. His TV commercials 

and verbal assaults about alien 

dance apparently have caught the attention 

of voters. 

Welcker has battled back, arguing 

that his attendance record Is as good as 

that of U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd. a 

Democrat. In addition. Weicker has 

charged that Lleberman missed more 

votes than anyone in two of the 10 years 

he served in the state Senate. 

After release ofthe ,lead-heat poll, Ihe 

candidates took off their gloves. This 

campaign, which looked at first like a 

routine re-election, hasbeen transformed 

into an exciting, bare-knuckles brawl. 

The presidential election has been a 

numbing affair. SO the confrontation 

between Welcker and Lleberman has

Not longago I met a woman who Isvery 

near my age. She was pleasant and attractive. 

I asked her to dinner and she 

accepted. 

We sat in the dim glowofaTiffanylamp 

overhead, sipping drinks and talking. We 

had a lot in common, it seemed. We both 

came armed to the teeth with charm - 

and tiptoed around that self-importanee I 

spoke of with a facade of genuine humility. 

Everything was going beautifully. We 

had both brought delicate historical baggage 

with us - life's disappointments.

talk about that baggage with wistful candor.

new shirt, onto my trousers, and onto a 

salt blue tablecloth. 

How does one extract a straw embedded 

in his nose gracefully? I pulled it out, 

and wafted in agony. Naturally, the mood 

was broken. She forgave me. of course. 

She never saw me again, but she forgave 

me. That's all sprit milk. Why dwell on it. 

Last weekend I helped two friends 

move a piano. Moving a p nq should not 

be llfe-threatenlng - but we all approach 

the occasion with same amount ofanticipatory 

trepidation. 

This particular move was from the 

back of a truck, through a narrow doorway, 

and up a twisting flight of staira to a 

second-floor apartment. The piano, an 

upright, weighed somewhere bctw e 

500 pounds and five tons. 

When we approached the base of the 

stslrs. I said to my two comrades. "Let me 

take the bottom," I was promoting some 

foolish almost-40-adage - the older you 

get, the bulkier, and therefore, the 

stronger. 

Now, I askyou, who really belleves that

not truly believe that my belly had same 

precarious strength oflts own? Ofcour 

not. 

Oh. the piano? We got it up those 

twisting stairs. The boys said they 

cauldn't have done it without me. 

Later that afternoon I was home recoverlng,

short, failing to take action on problems 

the American people deserved to have 

addressed. These problems include: 

*Budget -- In fulfilling perhaps Its 

most serious responsibility - determin- 

InR how and where to spend the taxpayers' 

money m e lOOth Congress turned 

in a characteristically mixed performance. 

In 1987. Congresa's inability to 

pass its 13 spending bills on time hit a 

new low. Finally, well beyond the legal 

deadline, it rolled all the appropriations 

bills into a single giant spending measure. 

Neither Congres nor the president 

were able tO review spen ding bills on their 

merits: instead they we forced to chose 

between a pork-laced package orshutting 

the government dow ,Ji st bofore Christ- 

Some good did emerge from that fiasco. 

however. ate last..y ar. ongresslonal 

leaders gad WhiteHous officials 

sat down tn a budget summit to hammer 

out a two-year spending plan. This year 

we were able to stay within those gnidelines 

- as well as the Grsmm-Rudman-

* Trade - Reforming 

trade laws was another achievement in 

which the 100th Congress can take great 

pride. Representative a state where a 

greater percentage of Jobs depend or), 

exports than anywhere else in the nation, 

i have worked hard for trade reforms that 

would make our markets fairer without 

lriggcrlng retaliation from our trading 

panners and costing us Jobs. , 

Fortunately, we were able to remo ,e 

protectionist pro4islons from this year's 

trade bill while preserving those that will 

help us compete in the international 

market. In addition to pmvldlng better 

retraining resources for workers affected 

by foreign competition, we have glve our 

government new tool to promote , nerlcan 

exports, protect U.S. Inve tiorm and 

combat unfair trade practices. 

* Welfare reform - Also to its credit, 

enforcementactiv/ties. Butit goesbeyond 

those traditional weapens and attacks

A dirt road bordered by open farmland 

passes through a small town. 

It is election day. and raining, Many 

Republicans who mostly llve in the outlying 

areas will not be able to make the 

Journey to the polls because the dirt road 

has turned into impassable.mud. This 

makes the Democrats happy, for in this 

town. political apathy is not a problem. 

People want to get out to vote, and they 

are concerned about their government. 

Decades later, the dirt road is paved. 

and this time it is the Republicans who 

are happy ort the day the town gathers to 

switch its f.o m of government. The government 

is .elu ging from a repres .ntatire 

systemto One oftwo forms- cotmcilmanager, 

or comlcfl-mayor. 

According to Judge Stephen Elliott 

St.. who wa there, the Democrats favored 

the mayoral form, and the Republtcans 

wanted a town council and manager. 

The Republicans prevailed. 

. The road is called ee Street, but 

this Queen Street is only the bet __ning of 

the present strip lined w/th shopping 

plazas and fast food restaurants. 

The townIs called Southington, and it 

has gone through many changes in the 

last six decades. 

And Elilott ts m e ofseven people who 

gathered in Southlngton's Town Hall last 

Thurs lay night to remember the town's 

history for a forum called "A Southingto t 

Retrospective." 

With Elliott were Val DePaolo and Ken 

Buffer. who w e active in polities before 

the switch to councll-nmnag government; 

and Raymond Baginski St., Martin 

Jansen. Nicholas DePaola and Carl 

Sokolowski. who have been active politiclans 

since the switch. 

Journalists Jeanne Starmack and 

on thmflrst vidlmvans tte tape for .th_ ,,. 

Southington Public Library's video archives. 

The Friends of Southington Public 

Librmy sponsored the forum. The organlzation's 

president' Betty McKeon. acted 

asmoderator. The idea fortheeventcame 

from DIMauro. who also is the town lflstorian. 

L 

Judge Stephen EIHott Sr. 

Elllott, DeFaolo and Butler remembered 

Southington before its town council 

came into existence with Town Manager 

John Weiohsel in 1966. 

"Queen Street used to be all farms." 

DePaolo "said. 

The men remembered bread lines that 

used to stretch from Town Hall out into 

the street during the depression years. 

And the war years, from the time of 

.America's involvement in 1941 to the 

war's end in 1945, were hard on the town. 

according to Buffer. 

Butler said that during the war, there 

was a lack of employees for town businesses. 

He recalled traveling to New 

Hampshire to recruit farmers for work. 

He.also said that Southington had to 

struggle to keep up with the war effort. 

"The town's prt . civil war cannon was 

"melted d0Wn T r m ta. fo "',/be .waF," he 

"We di a . enort" he "said.' 

"Southington can be proud." 

Elliott said that in 1942. Pratt & 

Whitney Aircraft came under construction. 

The plant would eventually help the 

town to grow. panelists said. as would 

.Interstate-84. completed in the mid- 

1960s. 

_ Baginski. Jansen. DePaola and 

Sokblowski agreed that the comple.tio n.of 

l-8 ,' '. was the most important event for the 

town' growth, " 

there were somebad sideeff pf 

tlm.t i r0wth. Some of.the t0wn's:' t r 

we . !,beceme palluted from toxic chem/ - 

' Baginsk/ said that, duripg former 

Gby:.. Ella T. Grasso's adn nistmtion, 

towns were considering doing away with" 

reservoirs, but people were also becoming 

more aware of the damage pallutantS 

w e.;doing tO ground water. 

Ba inskl asld that people were coming 

fo rwav.d with complaints of pollution in 

their private wells, and that they found 

evidence to suggest the entire town sits on 

an underground aquifer. 

"We are more concerned now with 

changes in the aquifer." he said. 

Another side effect oi change in town 

was uncontrolled growth along Queen 

Street.-- 

"Queen Street got away rom us." 

DePaola said. *But we learned a lesson for 

controlied d.evelopment." 

The panelists said that the town is still 

now, but it will level off at some 

point soon. 

Sokalowski said that the town will not 

become another New Haven. because it 

does not have the room for that kind of 

exp 3. on. 

"When we reach 50.000 (in population), 

we'll have to level off." he said. In 

1980, the population was 36.879, accordlng 

to the U.S. Census. taken every l0 

years. 

DePoala said that lack of affordable 

housing and loss of industry could staghate 

growth in the town. 

But he and other panelists said that it 

is difficult to predict what Southington 

will really be llke in the future -in the 

year 2000 or even 50 years from now. 

At present, however. Southington has 

a lot ,to 

Sokolowsk/said .he 

when townspopp ,Iw -e emb_a,rrassed by 

the school system, but that now. real 

estate agents use the schools as a selling 

point. 

"We do have low tax rates," Jansen 

said. 

DePanla said that residents can enjoy 

a mix ofn l and suburban life, and that 

1-84 make traveling to other Connecticut 

clues convenient. 

Town's, state's political roots run deep 

The following article was written by 

the Southington League ofWomenVoters 

on Dec. 13, 1967 andis so well wrttten I 

decided to reprint ItJust as it appeared in 

the paper 21 years ago. 

I hope you enjoy reading about our 

early government's, beginnings as much 

as I have. 

I came ac 'oas 'this article while researching 

another subject. It was an 

mlcro-ffim at the Southlngten Public 

Abrary. 

"l'he roots of Our state and local government 

lie in colanial times. In 1638-39, 

the Fundamental Order. wereadopted by 

the settlements of Hartford; Wethersfleld 

and Windsor, and many historians considered 

the Onlers to be the world's first 

"There were 19 members in that first 

General Court orAssembly. Seven maglstrates 

were elected by all admltted freemen. 

and four deputies from each of the 

towns were elected by all admitted inhabitsnts. 

The freemen probably cmlstituted 

less than-one-third of all the adult males 

in the colonies and were those high in 

prestige, wealth and lesrning. The admitted 

inhabitants who met in Town Meeting 

were those who had taken the Oath of 

Hdelity. 

"In colonial times, the interests of the 

established church (Congregational) and 

the state were assumed to be identical. 

Connecticut's claim to fame lies in the fact 

that she w s seif-govemed, her authority 

coming not from the king or even from 

God, but from the "people" in the colony. 

"The government set up under The 

Fundamental Orders reflected the settlers' 

uneasy experience w/th a strong 

Gov. Marcus Holcomb 

executive {King}. All legislative, executive, 

ar/d Judlelal power rested with the representative 

body. The governor, who was 

the magistrate who had received the most 

votes, remained subservlent to the will of 

the Assembly. The g-o' ernor was not 

elected separately until 1707. "' 

"King Charles II of England granted 

recognition and a charter to the Cormecticut 

Colony in 1660, but'the pattern of 

government remained unchanged. 

"In 1698. the court was divided into 

two houses, the upper consisting of the 

magistrates and the lower of representatives 

of the towns, in general, the magistrates 

were dignified, conservative 

guardians of Puritan policy, They generally 

continued in office year afteryear. 

Political apposition was rare because the 

common goal v as preservation of the 

Puritan principles and the status quo. 

"The charterof 1662 ferried Connecticut 

through the Revolution and into 

statehood under the new Federal system. 

"I 1818, a strong dissatisfaction 

with the government emerged and the 

power which the Federalist party had 

enjoyed in almost theocraffc Connecticut 

was cnsile.ng byJefferson's Republican 

Pa T. The result, over bitter opposition, 

was a now constitution for the State in 

1818. Church - state ties were severed. 

"The legislative branch was separated 

from the exec.u,tive. The Senate consisted 

of two members elected at large and the 

House continued to seat two representatives 

frora each town although new towns 

were to have only one. New Haven. the 

largest town at that time, had a populationof8,327. 

Southington's population in 

1818 was approximately 1,870 people. 

Roger Whittlesey & Chester Grannis were 

the two frown Southington who attended 

the convention in 1818, which formed the 

State Constitution. 

"In the first half of the 19th century 

the pattern of population had begun to 

change. The opening of the West and the 

attractions of the factories lured the 

youths frmn rural areas. Small towns 

decreased In size and cities developed 

around the industries. The constitutional 

system kep{ the political leverag in the 

rural area, while the voters were movi ng 

to the cities. 

"At the tur of the century, the more 

rural Republican Party was 11 intaining 

its advantage over the more urban Democratic 

Party .the state, the Republicans 

held the oTshipfyom 1900 to-1930. 

(Republican Gov. Marcus':H. Holcomb

Soccer Knights repeat as CCC South champs 

NEWINGTON -- The Southlngton 

Blue Knights Lk ys Soecer Te.am, now 13- 

1-1, edged Plata on Friday, 2-1, and then 

shelled Newington 7-3 on Monday, capluring 

their fourth straight CCC South 

Overall the Knights have won seven 

division titles, one in 1974 and six sirtce 

1980. 

The Plait Panthers of Mcrlden provided 

the opposition as a cold October 

rain played havoc with the field and footing. 

The Knights were an offensive terror 

in the first half. taking 19 shots on goal 

and 10 comer kicks. Chuck Smith of the 

Panthers came through with 13 saves in 

the Platt goal and held the Knights scoreless 

in the first half. 

The Panthers never advanced the ball 

offensively and were content being deadlocked.at 

0-0, ready to start the second 

half. 

The Blue Knights came out storming 

in the final 40 minutes, as Gian Massaro 

charged down the right wing drilling a 

hard shot fen goal that deflected offa Platt 

defender and into the comer of the net, 

giving the Knights a 1-0 lead at the 2:30 

mark of the second half. 

The crowd, consisting mostly of 

Southingtonfans, might have been thinking 

that now the goals would be a deluge 

as sure as the falfing rain, but the rain 

stopped. 

The Panthers began their first offensive 

drive ofthe game. It wasn't the lassic 

breakaway, ending up one-on-one in 

confrontation with the goafie. Instead it 

was a routine boot from far away that 

rolled into and right back out o.fthe hands 

of Southington's goalie Dave Mikoss. 

Tying the score at one on their first shot of 

the final stanza, there still remained 31 

minutes left to play. 

Plata was now fired up, IXtt so too were 

the Knights as they controlled the ball 

and the field position. The tension was 

building, and flare-ups between opposi-

tlon players occurred. The officials 

handed out a yellow card to the Knights 

and the personal fouls abated to an acceptable 

level. 

A sloppy defensive play by the Knights 

allowed the Panthers a second scoring 

opportunity with a comer kick. Platt was 

unable to capitalize on the play and lost 

possession of the ball to Southingion. 

The third and last offensive drive by 

the Pantherb was a breakaway that got as 

far as the 19-yard mark before a Knight 

defender fouled Steve Lespier of the Panthers. 

Because the foul was outside the 18yard 

penalty area, the officials could not 

allow a penalW kick. Instead, the Panthers 

were allotted a direct kick that 

sailed over the goal. The official who was 

closest to the Plait bench was taking alot 

of.verbal abuse bt :ause Plata had w nted 

a penalty kick and felt cheated. At the 

insistence of one bystander, the official 

gave Ray Sweetland a yellow card for" 

Jumping up and down in trying to distract 

a throw-in by the Platt player. 

With less than sixminutes left to play, 

the Knights put together the combination 

that would seal this win for Coach Dan 

Murawski. Mike K trzewa scored the 

winning goal with an assist from Scott 

Roberge and Jason Matthews. 

Coach Bob Melzmuf of the Panthers 

was very happy with the way his team 

performed. They were determined to do 

better than the 7-0 loss they suffered at 

home to Southlngton earlier in the sea- 

Coach Murawski of the Knights said 

that his team had "escaped" and praised 

the way the Knights hung in there, play- 

Ing under such sloppy condiUor s.

The Blue Knights traveled to Newington 

onTuesday for their last regular game 

of the season. Newington, 8-6-I, played 

the Knights close in their last meeting in 

another physical foul-plagued game. 

The first dispute of the contest was 

the objection ofthe Newington coach that 

three Blue Knight players were wearing 

gloves. After several minutes of arguing, 

Rick Mooney won his ease and the 

Knights had them removed. 

If this was a tactic of some sort, it 

backfired. 

The Knights owned this game. especially 

in the first half. Jason Matthews 

scored on a breakaway then got his second 

after Keith Raines rocketed a direct 

kick from 40 yards out to set up the goal. 

Paul indomenlco scored the third 

Knight goal on a backwar bicycle-style 

maneuver that sailed high into the net.

Second victory for SHS in field hockey 

by Jim 8ueas 

for The Observer 

The Southington Field Hockey Team 

defeated the Glastonbu y Tomahawks 2- 

1 on Friday afternoon as the Knights 

doubled their win output from last season. 

The Lady Knights improved th s 

season's mark to 2-12-0 while the Tomahawks 

slipped to 3-5-5. 

With coach Lois Busa's team beginning 

to look like a team capable ofscoring 

more goals, future victories are predicted. 

Their confidence seems to be growing 

with each game. 

Friday was not a typical day for play- 

Ing field hockey. The weather started 

deteriorating Just before game tlme and 

got worse as the day went on. With the 

cold rain coming down in steady unrelenting 

sheets, both teatns were waiting 

on the sidelines as the officials debated 

whether to play. 

The decision by the referee to play was 

not in vain. 

Southington opened with a tenacious 

offense that pushed and fought Its way to 

the Glastonbury goal. Krlston Blake tallied 

the first goal of the game, putting the

Newington scares soccer Lady Knights 

It's been a major factor in the success 

of the Southlngton High School girls soccer 

team. 

The seven-goal, five-assist season of 

Elaine 0amber has helped pace the team 

to a 9-6 record on the year. But when this 

an facet of the Lady Knights is taken 

away, It glve the o.ppo,slUon a chance to 

do some damage. 

On Italloween afternoon, It was Newington 

who provided the treats as they 

se ed the opporturdty of tricking the 

Lady Kn/ghts, including Gamber. 

HS, who beat Southlnglon 4-0 in 

theirfirst meeting ofthe season, defended 

against Gamber and pulled offa 2-0 declalon. 

That gave them a 13-1-I record and 

a CCC South Divislon record of II-0-I.

South title Friday, had the lone deadloclt

After I I years ofcoaching high school 

football, Mal0"ney High coach Rob Szymaszek 

entered last season with a very 

impressive .700 Winning percentage. 

_But in 1987 the Sporrans dropped 

sevenofthelr 10regular games, with four 

ofthese coming against their competition 

in the competitive Central Connecticut 

Conference, South Division. 

This year, Szymaszek - in his 13th 

sed.son - is one game under the .500 

mark, and with a loss on Saturday to 

Southlngton High, the Sporrans would 

drop to I-4 in this year's version of the

racked up last weekend forced the firstplace 

tie. 

A powerful Cowboys team came on 

strong in game two of the three games 

played last weekend, searing an 18-0 

shutout over the Saints. 

Ken Goodrich scored twice and Anthony 

Condrird scored once to provide all 

the points needed for the Win. The outsized 

Saints provided some fine defense 

with the flag skills ofJared Kosky and Jeff 

Mlrtsola. 

Brian Massotti. Alan Ricclardone and 

Mark Cohie led the blocking department 

winning edge. The restructured Falcons 

scored with an impressive run by Mark 

Dickenson. 

A one-handed catch by Matt Denorfla 

covered 40 yards, but Viking defensive 

play by'Mark Danko. Jason Kern and Jeff 

Jankowskl kept the Falcons from scoring 

again. Joey Kosllnski, Anthony Valentine, 

Kcvin Gallagher and Craig Mumbley

Opening up play last weekend, the 

Redskins picked up their second win of 

the season with a 19-13 upset over the 

Giants. Matt Dutilly scored two touchdowns, 

providing his club with the winning 

margin. 

The Redskins opened their scoring on 

a 40-yard pass play from quarterback Bill 

Fish to David Kozloskl. Mike Kozloskl. 

Chad Dutflly and Richard Casey supported 

the offensive power as Tom McBriarty 

provided the defensive punch. 

For the Giants. NIck Zimmerman 

passed to Josh Martin for the first of his 

two touchdowns on the day. But it wasn't 

enough. 

D. J. Stevens. Andrew Coderre and 

Tom Zimmerman provided the offensive 

blocking for the Giant attack. 

In the last game ofthe day. theVlldngs

The well-played, hard-hlttlng game 

saw three touchdowns scored by the Jets, 

including an elght-yard burst by Tim

Adam Pelletier went over for the major 

on a beautiful 20-yard reverse. Later. 

Scandals added his second TD of the 

game on a dramatic 60-yard sprint. The 

points alter touchdowns were run by 

Mike Kenefick. who accounted for his 

team's final points scored in the game. 

A powerful offensive attack that 

churned out a total of 350 yards on the 

ground highlighted the Jets victory, while 

a stingy, defense stopped same.good Oiler 

drives - most notably a superb goal llne 

stance in the opening quarter. 

Other key stats for the Jets were nine 

tackles by Jeremy Pavano and seven 

tackles apiee by Joe Angellfio and Tim

Oilers, as they were recovered by Bob 

Uliasz, Chris Walsh and Scandale of the

Lady Pats down Eagles 

by Jim 8ueas 

for The Obl ver 

The DePaolo gifts soccer team wrapped up their season 

last Wednesday, defeating c osa-town rival from 

Kennedy for the second time in as many outings this 

season. 

With just 18 seconds gone by. Meghan McNlcholas 

opened the scoring and the Lady Patriots never looked 

back as they shut out the Eagles 3-0. 

The Lady Patriots also played Dodd of Cheshire one 

week ago today, winning 5-2. 

On Monday afternoon, however, they suffered only 

their second loss of the season as they then took it on the 

chin. in the closing minutes of a contest against filings of 

Manchester. 

filings took the match by a 3-2 margin. 

The DePaolo-Kennedy sequel was what the locals 

wanted to see. The game was played under ideal weather 

conditions before a large crowd of SouthingXon fana. 

In their first meeting betw n the |Oea ll lo 

highs played last month, DePaolo edged Kennedy 2-1. 

After seoring the game-winner in game two between 

the two juror highs, McNicholas needed only another 60 

seconds to score her second goal ofthe contest, puttingthe 

Patriots up 2-0. At that point, the outlook for Kennedywas 

bleak, and continued to fade. 

Though the Kennedy Eagles" defense regrouped to 

keep the Patriots from scoring, ninth-grader Dabble Suess 

broke through, asslst g on the games third by 

de|. sitlng the ball in front of the Eagles goal offa corner 

kick. Shannon Fdndelan put it home for a commanding 3- 

0 lead at halftime. 

In the first half. the Lady Pats outshot the ladies from 

Kennedy by a margin of 7-3. 

The second half saw Depaolo executing field and ball 

control, but they were never able to totally dominate the 

scrappy Eagles. Both teams had scoring opportunities. 

but neither of them were able to find the net in the second 

half. DePaoki, playing for llrst-year coach I ch Arolan, 

fln shed their impressive regular season with a .ft.-cord of 

r ne wins in 13 matches, with one tie. 

The Eagles concluded their 1988 campa gnwith 2-4-

unfortunately, did not compensate for 

this fact. As man increased in height, the

a large enough surface to absorb the

The sisters" community in Chanmagua will soon In- 

Clude four nuns, Slezak said. 

Sister Mary Lee D'Arche. who has received a degree in 

, Joined the Sisters of Mercy in Chanmagua in October. 

The fourth member of their community will Join the 

sisters on Dec. 12, when villager Natividad Alonzo. 51, pronounces 

her vows as a Sister of Mercy. This will mark the 

first vocation in the village. Slezak said. 

*I never thought of being a nun." Slezak said. She 

admired her elder sister Sophie when she became a nun in 

Januaryof 1947. but she hadn't considered following in her 

footsteps. 

Afew months later, one ofthe SistersofMercy at Sacred 

Heart High School in Waterbury, where Slezak was in her 

senior year. asked her If sbe'd ever thought of becoming a 

nun. In May. after discussion and prayer with this nun. 

Slezak said she made her decision to devote her life to God. 

Her fate was perhaps changed when she transferred 

• from Lewis High School In Southington to Sacred Heart. 

$1€ k said she made the move after three years at Lewis 

because her friend Lorraine Kennedy told her that she'd love 

the nuns there. Kennedy had herselftransferred from Lewis 

to Sacred Heart In her sophomoreyear. 

SInce she took her vows as a nun 41 years ago, Slezak 

has received a degree in education from St. Joseph College 

In West Hartford and has taught in elementary schools In 

the cities ofWaterbury, New Britain. Bridgeport, New Haven 

and Hartford. 

While she was making her decision about a five-year 

commitment to mission work In Guatemala. Slezak spent 

one year working with Father Ed Nadolny at St. Vincent's 

Church In Naugatuck. Slezak speaks highly of Nadalny's 

missionary accomplishments in Third World countries. She 

said hc had urged the digging of wells In Ethiopia, and has 

helped foster an orphanage in the Honduras. 

Donations of money and materials for the families of 

Chanmagua come from a variety of sources. Slezak said, 

such as a woman from Torrlngton, NadoIny's parish in 

Naugatuck. and a clothing company in Westport called 

Reprl. which gives some of Its monthly profits to a poor 

village fanuly. 

Slezak said the Sisters of Mercy manage the money 

donated to the poor villagers, because they wouldn't know 

how to spend it wisely. With donations, Slezak buys the 

designated farnfly six pounds of beans, six pounds of corn. 

six pounds ofsugar, six pounds ofrice, a bar oflaundry soap 

and a bar of hath soap. and some cookies for the children. 

These Items total between 13 and 17 quetzales, and would 

last about two days, she said. 

The lifespan of the avcrsgc Guatemalan is not long. 

Slezak said. Ofevery 100 Guatemalans who die. there are 40 

children under the age of five who have perished from 

malnutrition, she said. 

There's a free clinic in the village, where every six 

months doctors come in to do their residency. A doctor 

recently set up practice in Chanmagua, Slezak said. He and 

the sisters work closely with the five neediest families on 

health education and nutrition. "We're trying to teach them 

how to balance their diet," Slezak said, which seems almost 

an Impossibility.

Senler citizens, chronic ffiness suffers, and health c e • ' ' i 

proHders should protect themselves against the flu, accord- 

Ing to the Connecticut Department of Health Services. 

The department recommends a flu shot for people over 

age.65: for children and adults who have diseases such as 

leukemia and other cancers, heart disease, chronic lung or 

kidney disease, diabetes or severe chronic anemia; and for 

health care providers who work extensively with individuals 

In these groups. 

"Normally, healthy youngsters and adults don't need a 

shot', said Dr. Matthew Canter of the health department's 

epldemlology section, "But", he said, "we are concerned for 

the elderly and others suffering from chronic diseases 

because their weakened conditions leave them opan to flu 

complications like pneumonia." 

The flu shot Is available through private health care 

providers as well as various local public health departments 

and public health nursing agencies around the state. Local 

lung association offices also know where to get the shots, 

according to the dcpartmcnl.
