ofthese coming against their competition<br />
in the competitive Central Con<strong>ne</strong>cticut<br />
Conference, South Division.<br />
This year, Szymaszek - in his 13th<br />
sed.son - is o<strong>ne</strong> game under the .500<br />
mark, <strong>and</strong> with a loss on Saturday to<br />
Southlngton High, the Sporrans would<br />
drop to I-4 in this year's version of the<br />
ccc South.<br />

Mark Cohie led the blocking department<br />

Some voters have asked me, "If you<br />
do so much for Senior Citizens as<br />
part of the United Seniors in Action<br />
Umbrella Group, why did Fusco get<br />
the endorsement as his ads state?"<br />
The United Seniors in Action, being<br />
s.uch an umbrella group "does not<br />
g ve endorse.meats". I have to ask,<br />
"Is Fu,,sco taking a furlough from the<br />
truth?. .<br />
The Pratt & Whit<strong>ne</strong>y Retirees of<br />
Lodge 1746A, I.A.M. who I<br />
represent to the United Seniors in<br />
Action, did endorse my c<strong>and</strong>idacy<br />
for State Rep. That endorsement<br />
has been made public <strong>and</strong> I have<br />
two others - a <strong>ne</strong>ighbor down the<br />
street <strong>and</strong> the Waterbury<br />
progressive caucus - to the tu<strong>ne</strong> of<br />
$200. Fusco's ads say,<br />
"Endorsements include...". He lists<br />
five. Why? His selection? Who are<br />
the others who contributed as his<br />
