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

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.

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.

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.
"We don't have to wait five years, we
have it now,," h.e, said. .

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

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

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

In mariy respects we have lived up to

from unfair international trade to catastrophic

* 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

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.

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

' 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

"We do have low tax rates," Jansen
said.
DePanla said that residents can enjoy
a mix ofn l and suburban life, and that

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
from Southtngton was elected for the first
ofhis three rmS as governor in 1914. He
served until 1921.

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 Wegtegton drub
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.
Another Haines kick this time to Mike
Kostrzewa was passed over to Dave Gulll
for the Knights" fourth goal. GUIlt to Indomenico
for number six and Gulfi alone
from 30 yards out accounted for the

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

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-
3 mark.

this fact. As man increased in height, the

a large enough surface to absorb the

, 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.
