The federal Env ronmentai Protecnon

*Then, the EPA goes to court

on new hiring

4-3 m once again postpone the 

decision. 

The council agreed to c cea ,ts J 

22 meeting and put the assistant engineer 

position on the August 12 agnnd 

With colleague James Walhce Jr. 

away on business, the Republicans would 

have been at least two votes short of getting 

the necessary six affirrnati e votes for 

the posanon which was elimaoat :l by the 

Democrats m 1991. 

Town Engineer Anthony Tranquillo 

and Town Manager John Wetcbsel have 

been advising the council that an assistant

slated m begin thts !mar. Democrats 

have opposed the luring, arguing that the 

salary and benefits would come to more

It was 'Independence Night' here.., glaring lights, late games, movies 


arsociate e&tor 

For almost 40 years, the Southington 

Drive-In Theater and the Park Departmerit 

have co-eaisted as neighbors at the 

extreme end of their borders at Recreation 

Pare " 

The theater's property butts the 

town's land and only a se un -- a 6-foot 

chain link fence and trees -- separate 

moviegoers and athletes who play softball 

less than 30-feet away. That was before 

last Saturday night dunng the July 4 

weekend. 

As more than 950 ears sq "eezed into 

the theater's property aakin it a nearcapacity 

night, softball • eld lights 

bounced and glared on Screen #1 while' 

Screen #2 which gaces the theate entrance,, 

Was normal and kept at least half 

of the pa.t 0ns content. 

The other half were victims of an uneapegted 

long evening of softball games 

at he adjacent field. The field lights 

didn't clich off until lh15 p.m., sparking 

a barrag of bseping horns ... not in defiance, 

but in a hum of harmouious gratification. 

Silhouettes of park ees had sandwiched 

the huge white screen for three 

• In wasn't until 1969 that theater patrons 

and management noticed the softball 

and other athletic events being 

played several feet from its last row of 

speakers. That was the year the Park Dehartment 

installed its original set of more 

an 36 athletic lights sirdng on a dozen, 

60-foot telephone poles. 

An overabundance of softball teams 

and the emergence of a growiqg midget 

football circuit had prompted a ciuren 

group to lobby the Town Council for the 

fights. Nobody asked the owners of the 

theater. It wasn't until after the ligh 

were installed that people noticed that 

more than the athletic fi lds were glow- 

ing. Since then, theater management personnel 

and the owners have complained 

numerous times to the Park Department. 

The lights, the owners stated, were causing 

patxons to demand their money back 

because the lights were causing a glare on 

the main screen. Anthony Denodla, park 

commission chairman, said he understood 

that prior commissioners had uied to enoperate 

with the theater. But, we have an 

obligation to provide recreational facilities 

to the dtizens and fields are at a premiums 

he said 

After )'ears of attempts to point the 

lights away from the theater or discossing 

varied ways m erect tall fences or possibly 

a huge canopy, the settlement came on a 

gendemen's agreement that the lights 

would be shut off at a reasonable hour. 

GameS were scheduled to end before 10 

p.m. but weekend games would be an ancaption. 

BACK TO THE MOVIES

Enrollment for summer 

programs falls short 

By ROBIN L. MICHEL 

Enrollment m smnmer school 

programs in town dropped by at 

least 25 percent this year, said 

program director Robert Krom. 

*The numbers just didn't 

come in," he sa d. 

The director credits the increased 

cost and the later starting 

date as the two primary reasons 

for the decreased enrollment. Only 

6 0 students enrolled in the entire 

program this summer compared 

m more than 800 in 1995. 

Because of the fewer enrollment 

figure, 28 ennchment 

courses for elementary and unddie 

school youngsters were 

dropped, Krom rod. 

Modifications were also made 

to the scheduling of mandatory 

courses for high school students 

who failed during the school year. 

About 140 pupils are enrolled in 

the high school program which 

offers math, science, history, and 

physical education. 

There were not enough students 

to hold all the sessions 

planned, mchiding study skills, 

but the mandatory course selections 

were maintained. That was 

our main concern, the credits for 

the kids," Krom said. 

The school board voted in 

April to rs se the cost of attending 

all saunmer school programs after 

the summer school subsidy of 

$14,800 was eliminated from the 

budget. At the time, School Superintendent 

Louis D. Sainom 

and several board memben voiced 

their opposition to the proposal, 

saying it would result in less partic/potion. 

Salaam said course fees had 

been increased several years ago 

and enrollment in the enrichment 

courses dropped from 600 to 100 

pupils. "The high school numbe 

stayed the same," he said. "Kids 

had m make it up. If you flunk, 

yon go to summer chool. If you 

flunk, you pay for i " 

A proposal m. increase costs 

for all pupils was not approved, 

and board members voted only to 

increase the toition for enrichment 

courses and those high 

school students from out-of-town 

who attend the Southingron High 

School summer program. 

The fees for the entichment 

courses were raised from $45 to 

per course. The fee for local 

high school students was maintained 

at $6 while out-of-town 

students are charged $105. 

Though the program is primarily 

self-anscaining, the subsidy has 

offset the difference during the 

Krom said some of the enrichment 

courses eliminated due 

m low enrollment were preschool 

development, a cheerleading 

course, and bear buddies, a language 

enrichment class centered 

around teddy bear 

A popular course in the past, 

total bodyworks, where children 

challenge their abilities with 

Olympic-type games, was also 

cancelled. The director called 

parents to suggest ahernam selection 

after their first choice com - 

New courses introduced this 

year proved popular, Krom said, 

including puppetry and panminim.e, 

and a crafts class called 

caterpillars to butterflies. That's 

one of che idiosyncrasies of the 

program, he said. You never 

know what going to be popular 

year to yesr." 

This ynar's program is being 

conducted from July 1-19, which 

is a later than normal starting 

date, Krom said. Summer school 

was delayed one week because 

regular classes did not conclude 

until June 25. 

Many people had a ready 

made vacation plans or h d enrolled 

in other camp programs 

which created scheduling conflick, 

the'director said. 

In the past, at least 650 elementary 

and middle school stodent 

enrolled in more than 30 

classes, and 200 high school students,

Keeping the 

• 1 ° 

satary instance 

Wqaen is enough, enough? 

Apparently, when it comes to skyrocketing salaries of school administrators, 

the answer could be -- never. 

Pmtid hours of deliberation about what to do with its re,. sed 

1996-97 budget last week, members of the Board of Education 

went into executive session to discuss Superintendent of Schools 

Louis S loom's salary. 

Saloom was awarded a 1.75 percent salaty increase by the 

board and Saloom's life insurance was changed from term to whole 

life with the superintendent paying the difference. 

Granting Saloom an estimated $1,750 raise right after his contract 

was renewed seems to be an attempt by the board to keep the 

superintendent's salary a step ahead of other highly paid unionized 

administrators. 

Vdhen Saloom disclosed he had applied for a similar position n 

Stamford a year ago, supporters came out in droves to proclaim 

him their savior of Southington's education system. He can't leave 

us, he's too good, too valuable, they said. Obviously, Saloom was 

overwhelmed and decided to remmn here especially mnce two outspoken 

members had been defeated at the polls. 

After the election last fall, the revamped Board of Education 

wanted to see to it that Saloom felt comfortable w th his contract. 

After all, Saloom had publicly suggested that owning a one-year 

contract year after year was not a vote of confidence. The new 

board extended h s contract, guarded his perks, and now have 

granted him a small raise. 

Saloom earns about $2,000 a week. He works a full calendar 

year and is not a union member. His assistant, Angelo Coppola, 

earns about $1,600 a week but even that amount is less than the 

new principal of Derynoski School. 

So, what's the point, you ask? Saloom, from what we've 

learned, got his unexpected raise because the gap between the 

salaries of umonized teachers, administrators, and Saloom continues 

to close. 

It's a sure bet that when Saloom makes an argument for more 

money, the name of Jerome Auclair is brought to bght. Auclair ,s 

principal of the high school and makes about $10,000 less than the 

superintendent with less headaches. 

In fairness to Saloom, who has pubbcly and privately stated 

that he's content to stay in Southington for as long as the Board of 

Education wants h m to stay, he hasn't be receivmg "substantial" 

salary increases. This ,sn't to say that $106,000 a year is a meager 

salary, but compared to his administrators who have been receiving 

1 to 1.5 percent more than himself, Saloom is sure to get some 

fiscal sympathy from the board. 

Members of the Board of Education aren't compensated and 

try to represent the working taxpayers of the town the best they 

can. If they feel Saloom deserves another $36 a week to keep him a 

frog leap distance from a high school principal, we reluctantly 

agree. 

But where does this equitable salary scale end? If Coppola's 

salary should be considerably higher than the salary of a principal 

of an elementary school, does that mean Coppola should automatically 

get a sizable increase? 

Should Town Manager John Weichsel insist to the Town 

Council that he should earn considerably more than a high school 

principal or principal of an elementary school? 

Comparing salaries has been a favorite bargaining chip of town 

employees for years. But intelligent municipal leaders know better 

than to succumb to that argument. Each employee is different and 

when it comes to comparing compensation here, there, and everywhere, 

not enough information is available. Some underpaid supervisors 

have an abundance of assistants while some overpaid supervisors 

have no assistants. 

The Educational Enhancement Act mat skyrocketed teachers' 

salaries in the mid-1980s continues to remain the culprit. Even 

non-unionized players like Saloom and Coppola and others will 

benefit in the long-term as boards of educations try to balance the 

salary scale to keep everybody's ego happy at the expense, of the 

taxpayers. 

It may not be Saloom's salary which should be subjected to 

scrutiny, but rather how unions can justify the salaries of school 

principals and their assistants.

• Take your children to the library 

and make sure the} get a card. Show 

them that there are other places in the 

world to visit besides the v*deo arcade at 

the mall 

• Lim t television v ewtng. Yes, I 

know that's a tall order But when kids 

watch six, seven hours a day, we've got to 

say as parents. "Enough's enough---close 

the set and open a book'" 

• Ask your children to write to

425,000 children and 125,000 reading 

partners participated all across America. 

This summer, we're aiming to reach 

many more. If the American people really 

join in, we can reach a million kids--including 

the kids who are nearest and 

dearest to your heart. 

And we can really make a difference 

In the education of our children. Overall, 

American students are improving in math 

and science, but reading scores have been 

stagnant, and that's a problem for all of 

us. Virtually every job that is now being 

created in America requires a high levul 

of literacy to perform. Good reading is 

necessary m succeed in school, to get and 

hold a good job, and to become a producnve, 

contributing member of our society. 

So we all have a stake in helping 

students to keep their reading and writing 

skills sharp, whether school is open 

or closed. 

So let's make summertime reading 

rime! 

Tips to avoid hyperthermia 

Summer is here, along w th its often 

sweltering heat. Now adults and children 

should be aware of symptoms of hyperthernua 

and ways to prevent them. 

Hyperthermia is the general name 

given to heat related illnesses. The two 

most common forms of hyperthermia are 

heat exhaustioq and heat stroke. Of the 

two, heat strol is especially dangerous 

and requires immediate medical attention. 

VNA Health Care has several tips to 

help you prevent hyperthermia: 

The elderly should drink plenty of 

liquids in the summertime -- even if 

they're not thirsty or on a diuretic. This is 

espe&ally important for older persons, 

since they frequendy have a reduced sense 

of thirst. Alcohol should be avoided and 

recommendanons incb de drinking eight 

#asses ofwater or other fluids a day. 

Dress in light.-eolored, loose-fitting, 

light-weight clothing. 

Avoid mid-day heat and do not engage 

In vigorous activity during the 

hottest part of the day (noon to 4:.00 PM). 

If possible, use air conditioners often 

or visit air-conditioned places such as lihraties, 

shopping malls, and theat 'rs. 

If you are not used to the heat, get 

customed to it slowly by exposing ymuself 

to it briefly at first and gradually imreas-. 

ing the time. 

Avoid hot, heavy meals. Limit cooking 

activities, particularly use ofan oven. 

Certain medications do not mix well 

with the hear. ,Ask your physician wheflter 

you are at particular risk because of your 

medication.

Comments incorrect 


In the July 4 edition of "The Observer," 

there was an article pnnted regarding 

two recent fires here at Spring 

Lake Village. One of those fires was 

my garage. Both fires are correnfly being 

investigated. 

In the article Mr. Joseph Passanante, 

of Spring Lake Developers, 

was quoted as saying, "He had.heard 

thatflammable liquids stored m the 

(my) garage may have act/dentally ig- 

rated." That statement ts tncorcect, irresponsible, 

and defamatory. There 

were no flammable hquids stored 

there. 

If Mr. Passanante has information 

that the fire marshal does not have, he 

should cite his sources. 

Mr. Passanante's statements appear 

to be "damage control" designed only 

to allay the fears of potential buyers.

Park Departtoent officials

absent of night games on weekends. 

The Southlngton Diamonds

Jhn Lmdsay, director of the 

Diamonds, a self-supporting wayelmg 

softball team and program 

for teen-age girls, said Monday 

that he had received approval 

from the Park Comrmsslon for 

the three-day event. Lindsay said

Panthorn and that out-of-towners 

wanted to use the swimming pool 

at Recreation Park. Cars and people 

flooded the parks. Local residents

By KEN DIMAURO 

A hotel and convention center 

is lust one of the possible businesses 

that may be located within 

proposed zone changes along 

West Street 

With its June 27 meeting, 

the West Street Study Committee 

oudined several possible 

zone changes for the thoroug,hfare 

from the Bristol line to Jude 

Lane. 

Fred Serafino, a member of 

the Planning and Zoning Commission 

who chairs the West 

Street group, explained the suggestions 

and report are on their 

way to the PZC. 

Serafino Is convinced the 

study group a thtroagh and 

t:alr lob. Besides Serafino, Michael 

Ractao and Francis J. Kenefick, 

two other PZC members, were 

part of the study group 

Scrafno said that although st 

is not guaranteed that the PZC 

wdl adopt all the suggesnons, he 

beheves the leglslanve body vail 

take most of the report to heart 

He said he'd "hate to see this 

(work) go down the drain " 

Dunng the pubilc hearing

he hoped the group would consider 

the needs of the people who 

were trying to make their home 

near West Street, and not ust 

those who are tr)ang to sell property 

Serafino said the committee 

discussed roans ideas. He said

ould be developed to 12,000 

square feet, would be for single

condominiums. 

Committee member Robert 

XV Cusano said he as happy to 

see that a hotel and conventaon 

center was part of the posslhle 

businesses to be part of the finetuned 

Professional Office Indusmat 

2 zone near Interstate 84. 

Cusano sa d the available land 

near Southmgton Execntave Park 

is perfect for a complex because of 

the proximity to the interstate 

highway. In addlnon, Cusano said, 

the town is located in the middle 

of the state. 

tie said those promonng economic 

development should mform 

the state Deparmaent of 

Economic Development. Cusano 

said the DED nught be able to asslst 

the town's efforts 

Nerney also outhned some of 

the suggested changes,within, the 

Executive Park Indusmal 2 zone, 

adding st was a good idea to mdude 

research facihtaes and trade 

schools. 

Committee member Robert 

L Sherman said the area is one 

of the last undeveloped corndors 

tth huge tracts of land. 

He said some of the properties 

unght not be developed fur enother 

10 years. 

Nerney read a lett t from_ J

Burns indicated the state has 

slated West Street for widening to 

four lanes. 

In the letter, Bums said the fiual

He added that scheduitng

:Family brings back Chinese treasure I 

By KEN DIMAURO 

f i l living rditor 

It was no easy task for Kevm Sullivan 

and his family to travel halfway 

across the world m the People's Repubfi 

of China in order m adopt an abandoned 

infant girl named Pang Jing. 

They had m endure the tough conditions 

of mainland China for nearly two 

vinced that bringing back the 6-monthold 

bundle of joy they renamed Casey 

has been one of the most satisfying 

things they have ever done as a family. 

The process began in early 1994. 

Kevin Sullivan and his wife, Gad, 

earnestly began discussing the posslhib- 

W of adopting a baby from mainland 

C t ' with their "- n, Dus 

Gaff Snllivan said although Dusnn 

anxiously wanted a sister, he didn't understand 

some ot the concept. I'or 

C.asey Sullivan, whoso name originally 

was Pa,ng Jing, was born in Wu Han, 

People s Republic of China. 

NOT TOO LONG AGO 

1995 --A YEAR AGO 

Husband-and-wife attorneys Bryan 

Meccariello and Sbari Bornstein are hoping 

that their purchase of Southington's 

oldest house will put their office in the 

root of things the busy downtown area. 

The home -- a former colonial-era 

tavern where George Washington reportedly 

once vastted -- was for sale for more 

than a year. Located at 140-142 North 

Main St., the structure was built in 1720 

byJonathan Root. 

Meccanello and Bornstein said they 

hope to move from their current office at 

437 North Main St. sometime in Aught. 

pceparadons to convert the Root house 

to an office building are under way. 

Meccanello said he and his wife were 

in part spurred by the renovation of the 

Judge Elliott House, which was physically 

transported via flat'bed txuck to a new site 

on North Main Street. 

The new location of the Elliott 

House is next door m the current offices 

ofMeceariello and Bornstein. 

Initially, the couple sought to purchase 

the boarded-up Ethel Oxley House 

at 158 North Main St. However, they 

said they found the price restricnve. 

In addinon, the lawyers would have 

had to remove much of the high levels of 

lead paint in the building's interior that 

led to it being boarded up several years 

ago. The eoupl then looked at the Root 

house. Location was the key," Meccariello 

said, noting they wanted to:be m 

the middle of things and close to down- 

town Southington.. 

They knew the house was old, but 

didn't know it was the oldest house m 

Soothington. They purchased the home 

for $160,000, which was a good deai, 

but they stressed they'll have to sink a lot 

of money into the restoration and con- 

version. 

Meccariello said most of the hismtic 

integriW will be maintained. Workers will 

repaint or restore woodwork and put up 

alone. Bornstein pardcutarly nges me 

original built-in cupboard located in one 

of the ttiont rooms. 

An early retirement plan offered to 

teachers this year could realize a final say- 

ample, Dustin, who is now 9, thought the 

baby would speak Chinese and be accustomed 

m the culture there. He was told 

the infant would learn m speak English 

bacause she'd be raised here. 

The Sullivans worked with the Alliance 

for Children organization based in 

Wellesley, Mass. "They were wonderful," 

Gaff Sullivan explained, adding the adop- 

minute. The family remained 

undaunted. 

They already had seen 

photos of Pang Jing 

and were expecting her. 

Kevin Sullivan said 

the Chinese are very 

protective of their children. 

The female baby 

was being taken care of 

in a foster setting, 

which happened m be a 

farm.

from, is a city about the size of Pittsburgh,

Gad Sullivan said 

Most of the Chinese were impressed 

with the western culture They paroculady 

were interested in Dusnn, who was 

the first and only American boy they had 

"They'd come over and touch his 

hair or his shn," Kewn Sulhvan stressed. 

Dustin took all the attennon in smde. 

But officials kept asking why the famdy 

wanted to adopt a baby when they already 

had a son And they constantly 

asked Dusnn if he would want a sister 

The Sulbvans were informed it was possible 

the Chinese could change their mind 

or substitute another baby at the last 

hant diamond." The 

Chinese don't bathe their chddren, for 

fear tt will make them sick. 

The Sulhvans bought her new 

clothes and gave the baby her first bath

raves tale came to pass 

Several months later, the newlynamed 

Casey Sullivan is a happy, healthy

family's Hltchrnck Road home 

She's trying to stand, trying to

ings of $122,000, according to Louis D. 

Saloom, superintendent of schools. "We 

wanted to maximize the financial end. We 

really focused on saving money," he said. 

For the second year in a row, Board 

of Education employees were offered early 

retirement, a decision they had to 

make prior to the May 15 deadline, 

The 17 teachers who requested early 

retirement will "generally be replaced, 

said Saloom. "We are not planning to 

eliminate posirons: 

However, the final decision rests vath 

school board members as final realloeations 

of the 1995-'06 school budget are 

bein determined, he said. 

aloom said the age and years of employment 

combined much total at least 

70. Early retirees would receive medical 

coverage for themselves and their spouse 

until age 65. No cash incentive was provided. 

Under the state retirement pension 

plan, retirees would receive severance 

benefits and payment for unused sick and 

vacation days would be given. 

The early retirefnent program offeted 

in 1994 to teachers, administrators, 

clerks, chstodiaus and paraprofessionals 

was accepted by 22 employees. 

Though Central Baptist Church pastor 

James Townsley said he is pleased 

with the accomplishments since the 

church was founded 20 years ago, the 

work is not complete %Ve're met some 

of our goals, helped some people, but the 

task s overwhelming We will never be

Church members wall be celebrating 

the past and future at a special 20th

by Townsl'ey, an Indiana native, who 

moved to Connecticut following his 

graduanon from Temple University in 

Chattanooga, Tenn. The pastor met his

Central Baptist Church members 

have called many places "home" m the

Plantsville. 

In 1977, the acre-acre Gibbs Wire

Common house plants can be deadly for Fido or Kitty 

By RICHARD JOHNSTON

Every morning before going

her house for Doggie and 

Hobbes. She just wants to make 

sure her two mischievous cats, 

deeply enn'enched.m-X hetr ternhie 

twos, have not gotten themselves 

Into trouble 

One day last month, Hobbes 

was nowhere to be found. Dana 

searched the house and saw a few 

stgos of trouble. As was often the 

case, the plants were knocked 

over, and slightly chewed. 

Hobbes turned up under the bed 

and appeared ill. Checlang fos litter

stool. She r shed him to the vet. 

During the course of the 

checkup, the vet learned that

Dana not &scovered his illness 

before she set off for work, 

Hobbes would have surely died. 

She learned the hard way that 

curiosity and hundreds of different 

plant species really can kill 

the cat. The risks for cats and 

dogs increase n the summer 

months, when flowers and plants 

are more abundant. If your cat or 

dog has a bad bab t of chev ng on 

plants and flowers, at Is Imperanve 

that they be broken of the habit. 

It Is equally w se for you to avoid 

bnng ng potentially toxic plants 

Into your home• 

Before providing a partial list 

of the most common toxic plants 

and flowers, it is important to 

note that even non-toxic plants 

are often sprayed with dangernns 

pesticides, which can be as poitonous 

to animals as the plant itself. 

Additionally, If your pet becomes 

dl after chewing on a 

plant, t is important to remember 

that many pets chew plants as 

a result of another illness; the 

plant ingestion can disguise another 

malady. Be sure your veteriuarian 

rules out all other possible 

illnesses before providing treatment. 

There are litenlly hundreds 

of common and not-su-common 

plant species which can be dangerous 

to pets. Some parts of 

plants are potentially toxic while 

other pare are safe, so if you see 

your pet eat a plant, monitor his 

or her health carefully, and be 

sure to remember what part of 

the plant was eaten. If necessary, 

bring the plant and your pet to 

your family vemrinarian if he or 

she becomes ill. 

A partial list of potentially 

"toxic plants includes: aloe vera,

SOUTHINGTON 1 1, 

WINSTED 7 

Southingron took the first of two 

wins for the afternoon as they played the 

Winsted American Legion team in their 

park in Vinsted in very impressive style 

as Southingron's Jon Dickinson pitched a 

no-hit complete seven inning game for 

Post 72. 

Dickinson improved his record to 

two wins and no losses as he walked five 

and struck out 10 batters for the win. The 

only run scored (unearned) against him 

came as a result of a walk, a wild pitch, 

and a sacrifice fly. Dickinson has allowed 

only one hit in the 12 innings he has 

pitched this season. 

Petersen led the Southingron offense 

with three singles, Rinehart homered 

(his second in two games) and singled. 

"Boudrean also homered and singled and 

Skinnon added a long solo home nm in 

the fifth inning. 

In the second game, Winsted bats remained 

silent for most of the afternoon as 

Matt Galari went to the mound for 

Southingron and allowed only one hit (a 

homer by Bob Stumph) through the 

sixth inning. 

Southingmn hitters continued to pile 

up runs as Firetto, Jason Landeen, 

Maringola all had two singles each and 

Jason Paradis added a couple of singles 

and a long two RBI double to the effur 

Paradis finished the game with four rims 

bared in. 

The W'msted team was not to be deuled, 

however, as their bats came ali in 

•e seventh inning. A wallg a single byJason 

Rockefeller, a triple by Bob Stumph, 

a single by Matt Matkowski, and another 

walk and a home run by Eric Fradette 

brought the score up to 11-7 with only 

one out. Galati was replaced by Firetto 

who gave up one walk and then retired 

the next two batters to end the game.

with his fast ball whistling, blew the 

Farmingron hitters a vay pitching the first 

six innings, allowing four hits and one 

run, while walking only two and snaking 

out 13 Farmington batters. Wodnickd exceeded 

our expectations. He had a great 

night at the plate as coach Reggle

Northern Reds repeat as town-champ 

By CHUCK LA OSE 

For the second consecutive 

year, the Northern Little League 

Reds (malors divis,un) are town 

champions. The team captured 

the utle June 28, at Veterans 

Memorial Park with an exciting 2- 

1 extra-tuning victory over the 

Western Little League Orioles. 

Aaron Mattas had three hits 

and scored both Red runs. However, 

pitching was the story on this 

evening. Reds right-hander P.J. 

Olore pitched a complete game, 

allowmg four hits and stoking out 

13. 

Equally impressive was the 

pitching of the Orioles Marc Robling. 

Robhng pitched six strong 

innings allowing only two hits 

appeared m be on target, however, 

it sailed past third base and into 

left field. Kukish trotted home and 

the game was knotted up, 1 -I. 

After six innings, the game remamed 

tied, 1-1, and it was on m 

extra frames. The Orioles failed to 

score in the top of the seventh. As 

the Reds came to bat in their half 

of the inning Mike Ehle took the 

mound for the O's. 

Red first baseman Marc 

Verderame greeted Ehle with a 

single into left field. When the left 

fielder's throw back to the infield 

got away from the second baseman, 

Verderame raced all the way 

over to third base. With no outs 

and the winning run on third, *t 

looked as if'the Orioles were all 

I at defeated. Ehle had other idc s. 

while striking out 11. The O's pitcher struck out the 

Ta% qeds ,ver.e_t&c w ;o a a .ad then got a 

score In the game. After doubling ground out to end the threat. 

and then reaching third on a In the eighth n was Olore's 

ground out, Mattas stole home as turn m work out of trouble, which 

Orioles catcher AI Paceardone was he did. After gi,nng up singles to 

renn'nmg the to Robling after Jan Cop and Brendan LeMay, 

a pitch. 

The score remained 1-0 until 

OIore reared the next three batters 

and escaped the mnmg w th- 

Oriole second baseman Ken Kuksh 

came into score in the mp of 

the fifth. Kuldsh had reached secout 

any damage. 

The Reds finally dosed the 

book in last off the eighd . Mat-t

As Kulash stood off of tbard, Red Olore grounder was m shandled 

catcher Erie Simpson attempted a by the shortstop. Marius broke for 

ptck-off throw. Simpson's throw third on the second p tch m Slmp- 

son. The attempt to throw him 

out went over the head of the 

third baseman and Matins bolted 

down the line to stomp home 

plate and eelebrat with teammates 

who were joyously rushing 

out of the dugout. 

The game was a classic and a 

great way m end the double eliminadoo 

tournament which opened 

last Monday at the Western Little 

League. Because they were the 

victors in 1995, the Northern 

Reds were g ven the bye in game 

one which saw the Southern Little 

League Orioles defeat the Wastern 

O's, 7-2• 

The South's Chris Pollicita 

conmbuted three hits while Adam 

DeFen added two hits and made 

an outstanding defensive play 

the fifth inning to preserve the 

v ctor Scan Salvatore and Greg 

Formeister combined 

hit wctory. Robhng had two hits 

and played solid shortstop for the 

West despne the loss. 

In Wednesday's game two 

matchnp, the Southern O's hosted 

the Northern Reds at the Recreanon 

Park. The Reds grabbed a 1- 

0 lead m the top of the first m- 

lm g, but the lead .s short 

Saivatore and Mike Unwin 

back-to-back home runs off of 

Mattas m their half of the frame 

and at the end of one inmng, the 

South was up 3- I 

The score remained the same 

until the Reds came m bat in the 

fourth inning and exploded for six 

runs. Hits by Olore, Simpson, 

Jake Thornton, and Parkex Pm're.r 

highlighted the outburst and gave 

the Reds a 7-3 advantag& 

The inning also provided fans 

wtth some laughter thanks to 

some untimely field maintenance. 

After a pitch to Porter, the field 

sprinklers ca e on delaying the 

game and giving players a chance 

to cool off. The Reds added one 

more run and Mattas kept the 

South in check the rest of the way 

as the Northerners won 8-3. 

Game three pitted the Orioles 

versus the Orioles again. A coin 

toss determined that the game 

would be played Thursday at the 

West. This battle of the birds was 

won convincingly by the West, 

lid). 

p.J. Louchen pitched the 

complete game shutout allowing 

only three hits. Ehle and Robllng 

paced the offense with 5 him and $ 

RBIs between them. Justin Pomposl 

had a triple and scored three 

runs..Th; loss eliminated the 

South while the West advanced to 

phy the Reds.
