25th Apple Festival gets warm greeting
Under bright sunny skies the
25th annual Apple Harvest Festival
kicked off festivities Saturday
at the town green with a sparse
crowd in attendance.
Opening ceremonies included
introdu.efiotis "oF b'fl dals dt: the
Greater Southington Chamber of
Commerce, town leaders, festival
hosts and hostesses and the chamber
new executive director Barbara
Coleman.
Miss Southington Claudia
Cardinale sang the national anthem.
Later in the afternoon, the
crowd became larger and by the
end of the day it was predicted
that at least 20,000 had visited the
downtown carnival and booths.
The festival got some premature
publicity Sunday when Geoff
Fox, weatherman from WTNH-
TV in New Haven, arranged to
have two weather reports compiled
from the town green.
The one-minute reports were
done live by Fox at 8:15 a.m. and
8:5fl a.m. and aired on ABC's
" 6"Xd Morning Sunday" show
that is seen nationwide.
Fox, facing the camera as well
as seven dozen Southington earlyrisers,
did his mtial report in
front of the war monument and
closed out the hour show by plug-
For those who did not view
the festival parade, Dimension
Cable has announced t will

13 at 7:30 p.m. It will be aired on
the public access channel number
8. Hosting the parade productaon
are Nick DePaola and Nancy
Verderame.
The parade on Sunday went
as smoothly as the sun managed

to peek through the clouds. As the
crowd began to thkken near the
center, a twin-engine airplane
kept circling the center pulling a
political banner.
The parade lasted nearly two
hours and featured the usual as
sortment of homemade floats, old
cars, classic cars and hundreds of
youths and their sponsoring organizations.

P,_ESTAURANT BOUGHT BY CALVANESE FAMILY . --
Landmark Old Mill to get new life
By ART SECONDO
associate editor
The Calvanese family, owners
f the elegant Aqua Turf Club in
.Plantswille, purchased a landmark
i'estaurant that might not have
.'been saved othervnse.
A former apple cider mill on
South End Road was converted
into a bar/restaurant in 1935.
Brothers Joe and Chris Cal-
,vanese say they plan on relocating
a present restaurant operation to
ithe Old/yIill site, which is directly
across ' 'om the entrance to
kecreation Park.
[ Shirley Hglmes had operated
.the Old Mill&usi ess since 1956
over from hc;r parent ,
Nardi's, an upscale, but small
eatery on Meriden-Waterbury
Road, i operated by Tom Nardi,
a close friend and former chef for
flae Calvaneses at the Aqua Turf.
Nardi will be a limited parmer in
the new acquisition.
Joe Calvanese confided he always
had an eye on the Old Mill,
a local imtitufion for diners and
bar patrons during he pre- and
ost-world war years. He admitted
that there was, "something
about the pl ce,n
and Chris Calvanese. They plan on renovating the former cider mill for
a planned 1994 opening.
"My parents went there a lot
and I've been there on many occasions,"
recalls Calvanese. He acknowledged
that the Old Mill will
have its authentic atmosphere restored
as much as possible. The
e.,tterior will receive considerable
attention and the open, acreage
will be paved and spruced up with
plantings.
The restaurant is in need of
complete restoration and major
upgrading of its infrastructure system,
he said. The Calvanese boys
grew up less than a quarter mile
away.

Calvanese. He said much

Pomposl, 58, served on the
council in 1983-85 and is currently
serving a five year term on the
finance board where he has two
more years to serve.
The real estate consultant
told The Observer, "I don't want
to be involved in the election." He
said he sent a letter to party
Chairman Ed Rich explaining his
position, askdng that a replacement
be sought for him.
As of Tuesday evening, Democrats
were hurriedly trying to
call a meeting to nominate a new
candidate. Pomposl had been
urged to seek electaon because he
is staunchly against excessive
spending by town departments
and has publicly challenged town
officials not to raise the tax rate.
Pomposi is part of the old
guard Democrats who wrestled
the party leadership in 1990 after
a bitter primary between two factions.
He said his decismn to in,tially
run for council was based on
the fact that he would be a positive
factor in helping the party.
Pomposi indicated that the
primary has created a wedge between
loyal party members and he
didn't want to lose friendships
over politics.
Town Council Chairman Democrat
Jim Verderame said the
loss of Pomposi on the ballot will
hurt, not only our party, but the
citizens of our town." He credited

Wa er from. drain pipe
may present a hazard
By BOB ZARNETSKE
edaor m chief
The co-owner of a beauty salon
off North Main Street says a
storm drain that empties water mto
a brook next to her business
could create a hazardous conditu)n
Sheda Maggm, the co-owner of
The Fox & The Hair salon at 456
Nonh Main St., says she fears it's
lust a matter of tame before the water
added to the Spring Lake Brook
that Itows beneath North Main
Street wdl overflow the banks of the
brook and flood the area.
The matter of learning how
the 12-inch diameter concrete
pipe was nstslled nto the brook
at the location at North Main
Street, will be heard at a show
cause hearang conducted by the
Conservation Commission tonight
(Thursday, Oct. 7) at 7:30
p.m. in town hall.
The Conservataon Commission
approved the storm drain
pipe from the Super Stop & Shop
discharge into the brook at Curtass
Street. That locataon is about
150 feet from the location it was
placed.
Assistant Town Attorney
Mark J. Sciota confirmed that the
pipe had been approved to empty
water from the retention pond into
the Spnng Lake Brook near
where the brook flows under Curtiss
Street.
Sciota said it is probable that
after the show cause hearing and
the commission's meeting on Oct.
21, a "site walk" will be made and
recommendations will be presented
to be implemented after that.
He said he the commission will
defer until after a site walk is
made and the commission meets
again on Nov. 18.
"It's not just to find that
someone may have done some-
thing wrong. VCe (residents and
business owners near the brook)
want to find out how this happened
and check procedures so it
won't happen again," Maggio said.
lf the brook overflows its
banks, a lot of property could get
ruined," she said. "This whole
area has a h,story of becoming
flooded, and we think it was
wrong to empty another storm
dra n into the brook."
An invesngataon into the flow
of the Spring Lake Brook revealed
that tho water trickles at a slow
speed around the rear of The Fox
& The Hair and under Curtiss
Street toward an area to the north
where it flows into the Quinmpiac
River. The water dtd not appear
to be flowing at an area about 100
feet north of Curuss Street. At
that luncture a small pond appeared
to be formed before the
water got to enter the Quinnipiac.
The water that flows under
North Main Street irl the newly
added drainage pipe is runoff water
from the new Super Stop &
Shop diagonally across from The
Fox & The Hair, a survey of the
area disclosed. A large retention
pond to collect water was construtted
near the roadway leading
from North Main Street to the
parking lot of the Super Stop &
Shop store.
In the retention pond an
overflow system permits water to
enter the drain pipe that empties
into the brook, it was learned by
inspecting the area.
Maggio said that after considering
options to recta the situation
if the brook is cleaned out
and dredged, maybe the threat of
flooding would be lessened.
"As long as something is done
to minimtze the possibilities of
flooding in this area, we would all
feel safer," Maggio said.

for the day, Coleman was impressed
by the window displays.
Glancing across the street she began
to noriee empty storefronts.
She was told about the once popular
restaurant that stood where
two-foot weeds now dominate an
empty lot.
Coleman just missed meeting
"You have a lot of bars in this
area," smiled Coleman passing by
Doty's Care as cook Joe Kalat
waved from inside. Joe Morelli,
owner of one of the oldest cunning
meat stores in town, was
busy so Coleman continued on to
LtberV Su t.
It was then that Coleman displayed
her minimal exposure to
small town neighborhoods. "This
is so nice," she noted as she
looked at Liberty Street's small
two-family homes.
Coleman was greeted enthusia's

Would DelSanto join the

Crossing to the other side of

stared at the empty Southingtun

the town hadn't considered small

by the quaint storefrunts,

the Center Street section.
"There's charm down here," she
said. It was agreed to wait another

No truck traffic
There were no promises of its effectiveness, but the town council went fonvard re-
cendy to approve an ordinance to ban commercial trucks on Hart Street and set
stricnons of trucks on other roadways in town.
Unhke the noise ordinance which is bogged down due to the necessity of equip-
ment and training, the truck ordinance should be a more simple regelanon to enforce.
The only problem could be finding the truck perpetrator. Unlike loud nuise, a
moving vehicle will not wait for the police.
However, it is more likely that once the police give out a few citatmns the word
wall spread quickly among the drivers of tracmr-ttailer trucks that the town is serious
about enforcement of the law.
The nine members of the council were appropriately applauded by many of the
same Hart Street area residents who jeered them recendy when they reluctantly ap-
proved re-construction of the hairpin curve on the street.
The council at the time felt it had no choice but m approve the road project over
the objections of the residents. Traffic and speed wouhl be deterred with the curve re-
maining as it wa , neighbors stated.
Perhaps they had a point But the town risked losing future state monies had it not
approved the project which is being supplemented with state Department of Trans-
portation funding.
The council decision to fix the road was a proper one.
The unanimous support the councilors rendered about a truck ordinance is a sign
the town has not ignored the residents and their concerns.
It's a gratifying moment when all parties are in agreement on sumethmg.
Tough stance
Police Chief Wilham Perry made it clear that his department has prioritized the
crimes of prostitution and illegal drug use in town and the criminal element associated
The chief declared that his deparmtent "wall not tolerate any crimes agamst pen-
ple. Anyone intending to promote prosomtion should think twice about c mmg to the
town of Southington."
Perry detailed the formation of a "Zero Tolerance" task force. He explained that
the task force was formed to concentrate on illegal drug use in town. Six men were ar-
rested on various charges relanng to drugs, and that was the culmination of surveil-
lance at two locanons.
Chief Perry and the men and women of the Southington Police Department
demonstrate that their mtennons and promises are backed by posiuve action.
The arrest of a man suspected of being involved in a prostitution ring and the at-
rents of the six men on drug charges are evidence that the chief means business.
The positive results the police department can boast are excellent examples of the
chief's tough stance for criminals to know about. A tough stance against criminal ele-
ments may serve as a deterrent. The chi.ef wants to make sure criminals learn that his
department is ready, equipped and able to identify, investigate and apprehend perpe-
wators of the law.
Chief Petty and the men and women of the police deparmxent are commended
and encouraged to keep up the good work.

New England
Patriots do not

the
nme and ener ,
devoted to these
efforts over the
last few we.eks
worth it if for
nothing more
than the excitement
and boost in morale they have
brought to a state wearied by recession
and other problems.
The legislative and executive
branches of our state guvernment are to
be commended for ta"lung quick and decisive
action and orkmg together toward
a common goal from the first word
that the Patriots might be moved to
Hartford. The excitement that has been
generated across the state is most welcome
after months of recession, the con -
unuing plague of trilne tn our cities and
other problems•
The proposed stadium would be a
plus not only for Hartford, but for all of
the state, and for that reason I voted for
the legislation needed to move the proleCt
forward. Not only will it create jobs
the economy and create jobs at restaurants,
hotels and other establishments
that will see business increase as crowds
flow into the city. Many of these people
will be from out of state, pumping new
money into our economy.
In addition to the direct monetary
benefits, the stsdimn and the relocation
ofan L fr nchi e to .nnnecti t
have intangible benefits. Having a professional
football team will be a morale
booster and a source of pride for our
capital city and the rest of the state.
Many who visit Connecticut for stadium
events will learn about other attractions,
which will help boost our tourism industry.
One of the most positive aspects of
this project are the provisions included
to protect taxpayers. The legislation authorizing
the sale of state bonds to finance
the $252 million project includes a
provision that the stadium will not be
built unless the new owner of the Patriots
has obtained all required NFL approvals
to move the team to Hartford
and has signed contracts with the state to
lease the stadium.
Also, unlike most other bonding
projects the stadium will be financed
through an innovative method which the

There are
the interest costs will be paid off with
the additional tax revenue generated by
the stadium and annual lease payments
from the team owner.
Some critics have questioned
whether businessman l, rancis . a.urray,
who is leading the effort to buy the Patriots
and move the team to Connect-
the team and then keep it on Massachusetts
or move it elsewhere. To guard
against such a move, the agreement
signed by the state and Murray holds
him personally liable to pay the state
costs in pursuing the stadium project if
he moves the team elsewhere or keeps it
in Massachusetts.
The effort to relocate the Patriots to
Connecticut points to the need to expand
our economic development efforts
beyond the traditional pracdce of proriding
loans or grants to manufacturers
and similar employers. Entertainment,
including professional sports, represents
a major sector of the economy, and a
sector that continues to grow as other
sectors lose ground We should watch
out for similar opportunities in the future
and be prepared to again move
quickly and decisively to take full advantage
of them.
For next year, a cut in taxes
Next year is
an election year
for state tepee- .
sentadves and state senators. It also is a gubernatorial
elecnon year. Legislators did
not give ituddle income residents a tax
break this year.
The Democrats majority rook a whack
at it, but the majority party could not
muster enough votes to override a veto by
Gov. Lowell P. Veicker.
Republicans hoped to repeal the tax.
So the GOP was not al all that interested

Add it all up, and the taxpayers did not
get the relief they needed last year.
Another plus for posstble income tax
relief before the 1994 elecu,4n is that the
lawmakers smell surplus.
The convergence of a surplus and an
election year may he too much to bear for
the men and women of the capitol.
Connecncut's numbers-crunchers predict
a $58 intllmn surplus for the current

He was never for the income tax in the

pushed it and signed it.
A majority of the legislature's Democrats
already are on record fur relief.
It is going to be a natural fur that party's
gubernatorial contenders to rekindle
that effort next election year.
Larson, as the top Democrat in the
state Senate, is in a key position to put
some income tax relief on the legislative
agenda.
Weicker also will be critical to determining
whether income tax relief should
be a priority next year. - ,

Without Weicker, who do we blame?
There must
have been a collective
sigh of
relief from Republ!cans
and
Democrats
Thursday when
Gov. Lowell
Weicker made it
official -- he
will not seek another
term.
Prior to
Weicker's deci-
sion, both parries were concerned about
the possibility Weicke could garner 40
percent of the vote and be re-elected.
Politicians are well aware that Nutmeggers
have a reputation of forgiving -or
forgetting. All this fuss over the state
• has been washeaLdow t_he
drain along with ex-state senator Tom
Scott, who unsuccessfully tried to capitalize
on the public's distaste for taxes into a
congressional seat for himself.
The absence of the gritty politician
Weicker leaves a void of who to blame
for a state deficit, third highest gasoline
taxes in the nation, the income tax, income
tax, incume tax.
At the moment it appears the Democrats
and Republicans are throwing
only their second-best in the gubernator-
ial race next November. State Senator
John Larson, as well-liked as he is, is
hardly known off Interstate 95 in Fairfield,
Greenwich and Westport.
Most central sta te residents don't like
to think of that area as being truly authentic
Connecticut, but the fact remains
that few candidates for state office can
win without the southern Democrats.
Richard Balducci, the gruffy looking
former speaker of the 'house ds the aaext
best the Democrats have. Balducei is lesser
known than Larson and his only hope
is getting the Lt. Governor's spot to appease
the Italian voters.
The Republicans fully realized that if
Weicker were to run again and with Nancy
Johnson staying in Washington, their
best shot stood with Pauline Kezer and
John-Rowland. Kezer's time may not
have arrived with Weicker in the middle,
but now the PiainviHe rea|dent has
tee than average chance at keeping Rowland
out of polities for another four
years.
It's despairing to the Democrats at
this point to realize that their best candidate
for governor won't be in the race.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
would be sitting in the driver's seat right
now.
Blumentfial has been labeled an eager
public servant, Mr. Clean and family
man. His work ethics have earned him
admiration from his peers and the average
working citizen of this state.
But, Blumenthal has decided on remaining
as attorney general and will seek
another term. I'm sure he'll be taking
notes during the next 12 months.
• If the GOP leadership can convince
Nancy Johnsgn to run for governor, they
might have the best shot at winning since
Thomas Meakill. JohnsgJa is sure to be
hard-pressed in the coming weeks to
make a firm decision.
Meanwhile, without Weicker, it has
been speculated that the A Connecticut
Party (ACP) is just about washed up.
Practically all ACP members are dlsgrnnted
Republicans and Democrats. What
will they do now?
Furthermore, everybody Weicker put
in some office at a state deparanent will
have to begin hinking about seeldng a
new career come November 1994.
It may sound unfair, but that's the
prescribed method used in polities.
Weicker will not go out a loser, but
he will not go out a winner.
The campaign for power in Hartford
could reveal many unique revelations
now that Weicker is out of the race.
Since neither party can take ecedlt or
-blame for the income tax, who do the
people of Connecticut blame -- or love?

At first I was not going to respond to
Art Secondo's parody of the town clerk
candidates in the Sept. 23 Observer. Art's
condescending bit of burlesque was itself
enough of a critique.
Recently, however, I was asked what
characteristics are needed to be a successfol
candidate. I said the most important is
to take your job seriously -- not yourself.
You must have vision for the office you
are seeking, and a real desire to serve the
public. You must believe you can make a
difference to be a successful candidate.
And this is why I am campaigning
hard for the office of town clerk, and
that's why I have spent time researching
at other town clerk offices, attending state
seminars, and in general preparing myself
to fill the post.
I want the office of town clerk to earry
on the tradition of service established
by Juanine DePaolo. It is because of the
foundation built by Mrs. DePaolo that we
have an opportunity to continue to grow,
continue to innovate.
Take yourjob seriously
We can increase efficiency and service
by an expanded use of office rechmd
ogy, from basics such as a cash register,
and an automanc document date and nine
printer to an expanded use uf computers.
But computers and machines alone
don't equal service A quaht'y lanagement
system must be implemented, heginmng
with the recognition that the ofrice
exists to serve the public. The people
of this town are our customers The ofrice
staff wnh their expertase and their enthusiasm
are our true assets. I want e ery
empluyee of the town clerk's office to
connnue to grow in their job and sharpen
their skills. To that end, I will implement
job descriptions and seek upgrade skills
training. I wdl also bring my assistant
clerk to seminars and certificanon classes.
My vision is to serve Southmgton by
efficiently carrying out the duties and
programs ass,gned to the town clerk by
the Connecncut general statutes and our
town charter.
I remember campaigning with Nancy
Johnson the first nine she ran for Con-
Luc"kily Connecticut is not on the
front hne. Our basic manufacturing
lobs left long ago, so we have less to
lose than do some states. In fact we
might well stand to gain some work for
gress over a decade ago. A one of her coordinators,
I ofttn drove her from appearance
to appearance. At the end of a
hmg day, Nancy turned to me and said,
"Leshe, don't ever run for office unless
you feel the fire in your heart."
So allow me to disagree with Art's
commenrs. I understand the office of
town clerk an l I know I can do the job.
VChlle I certainly don't mind iokes at my
own expense, I think Art IS missing the
boat. The fact that a woman has served
close to 30 years in the posmon doesn't
mean tt Is an easy lob, or ummportant. I
think it is the single most important job
in town government; I'm proud that a
woman has filled it with such distinction,
and proud that a woman will go on filling
it after November.
If history is any indication, the person
we elect next month is likely to serve
for qmte some time. The more the candidates
can discuss their qualificanons and
their plans, the better choice the voters
will make -- and the better our town
government will work.
'Big brother' philosophy surrou s health reform
ByKAREN A. MORISON
Most people would probably agree that
some changes need to be made m America s
health care system. But in the rush m address
this isme, there one aspect of the various

theme that"Big brother knows be .

provide the reason. They speak of wanting
to change America's bad health habits.
And, as one government advisor said of cigarettes,
a steep tax "is the one way we know for
sure pa[s smoking."
Well, the administration's health care
plan promises to prgtect us from cradle to
grave, and the tax policies supporting them
would help us make the right choices along
Granted, some people eonsidersin xes

polideally incorrect behavior. Other people
buy into this method of raising revenue because
the money comes out of the other gn
But a new health plan funded by sin t- xea
is no cause for celebration. Ins d, we should
lament the loss of finedom and erosion of individual
fights it represent
Those who favor funding health care
with sin taxes make this argument: Alcohol
and tobacco help cause health problems, so
the government ought m discourage their use.
Those Americans who continue to use these
produc should pay morn m the government
so it can provide health care for everyone.
Even if we accept that argument as is,
why stop there? After all,,Iots of other pmduc
and activities impact our health. Think
back over the last few yea s just how many dffferant
types of foods have joined the and list.
Bacon, red meat, butter, eggs, coffee, fast
food. A diet high in fit has been found m lead
to many health problems. Why not raise taxes
on hambu gea,s? Just think what a service the
gnvemment could pmvide hy charging an extra
buck for a Big Mac.
How fir do you take this argmnent? A
psychologist noted recently that man'iage has
a greater impact on a man's mortality than
smoking does. (Married men live longer.)
Should we have a hefty tax on single m ,
the making of tax policy.
The road to batter health through taxation
can be sickening, especially f r tho e who
can see the rhetoric to realize the 10ss of freedom
involved.
One such person is Joseph Rosenburg,
who the Washington Post called "one ofWall
Street's most successful leader." Rosenburg
says current tax proposals will lead m "an era
of less personal freedom rather than more.
He says he feels terrible about these proposals
because, "Philosophically, I value personal
freedom above all other things."
Others share that concern. Late last year,
the National Associanon to Protect Individual
Righ (NAPIR) sampled Ameri ms' attitudes
regarding their personal freedoms. NAPIR
found large majorities believing their individual
rights have eroded during their lifetimes.
And, that their children would enjoy fewer
its. George Bush fraudulently put h rth
the logical concept of the European
plan in order to covertly sell the avaricious
concept of the American plan.
The evidence is not hard to find. In
Europe indecision and uncertainty, are
everywhere. Each corporation, union,
and citizen is trying to figure out if it
will gain or lose. But there is little dlspute
that the continent as*a'Whole will
benefit.
In this country the debate is very
different. The big corporation money
joyfully supports the agreement. Over
1,000 companies have iolned USA-
NAFTA, a massive lobbying coalmon.
Their goal is to overwhelm the labor
and environmental groups who seek

and those fortunes don't derl e

History abounds at fornfel mill
There probably aren't tot)
many residents who still remember
when the Old Mill on South
End Road had its water mill inside
and produced cider.
Historical reports claim the
cide r mill business was started in
1929, but the mill was built
around 1735. The idea was
sparked by a Captain Anson
Matthews who saw the economic
possibihnes of the rushing Misery
Brook waters.
The building was used at vanous
umes as a grist, metal and paper
mill and lewelry shop.
Now, It leaves the hands of
the "Flolmes briefly for fhe-first
time in 58 years. The owners of
the nearby Aqua qhrf Club have
purchased the Old Mill Restaurant
and plan to renovate it mto
an intimate dining faclhty
In 1935 the mill was converted
Into a restaurant and was
owned hy Jim tlolmes. Reports
claim a man named Morris
Chase built two ponds and
named the place, "Kattemaug"
or place of many fish Chase
went out of business shortly after
the ponds ere built but the}'
still remain.
The ponds were stocked with
fish until around 1955. Customers
would catch their own fish, then
have the fish cooked to order.
The Rev. Herman R Tim-
-losv, whose Ecclesiasucal and
other Sketches of Southington
comprise the town's first attempt
at historical significance, remarks
at o e point th]t "So far
as I can ludge, the site of the
first mill vas either at South
End or Ap.vater's."
Some of the old cogs from
the mill wheel were used as light
fixtures, and though the building
had been expanded, the older pot-
non still retains the original handhewn
beams and pegged timbers.

()berg said. "It was more than that." He
explained the economics of keeping the

as much a reason.
However, Oberg is optimistic that

of the people In th@'lqorth and the
South eventually will wane.
About a half dozen members of the
First Maryland Infantry camped in the
hack of Plantsville School. They were
scheduled to march in the Apple Harvest
Fesdval parade Sunday.

But most of the items used n the

campfire, too, looks as it would have

bayonets, are stacked in teepee fashion

During the three daysat Plantsville
School, the soldiers maintained a brisk
schedule. Reveille was at 7:30 a.m with
an official roll call an hour later.
The company also performed a parade
and drill. To show that there was a
measure of culture in the southern soldiers,
a mini-concert featuring period
music took place Saturday at 10:45 a.m.
Oberg and Jones also have taken
part in many batde reenactments, including
several that take place in New
England. Usually, the southern battles" "
are larger, with several-thousand participants.

400 soldiers are considered a

Jones said that 8,000 soldiers took parr

Oberg said, noting the fields were extremely
muddy with many of the soldiers
walking around knee-deep in the
stuff. The temperature was well over
100 degrees, just as a it was at the original
batde in 1863. And the mosquitos
and gnats were driving everyone nuts.

100th victory
By DWIGHT MOORE
fir The Observer
NEW BRITAIN- Southington High School girls soccer coach
Winston Thompson couldn't have asked for a better prelude to
his team's big game with Newington Friday. He got his 100th
win as a coach Tuesday with a 2-0 win over a stubborn New
'Britain squad.
"I knew I needed five wins this season to hit 100. I didn't
tell the girls," Thompson said after the game. "It has no special
meaning, it's just a milestone," he added.
The victory, coupled with a 0-0 stalemate with Bristol
Eastern Friday and a 4-2 win over Platt Monday improved
SHS' record to 5-1-1. They have a 5-0-1 record in the Centxal
Connecticut Conference-South Division and Friday's'game
with NHS could go a tong way in determining a champion.
SHS also faces Bulkeley on the road Tuesday.
This ix Thompson's first coaching job and he's played the
'flame of soccer most of his life. He had a very simple reason
vhy he became a coach.

Coach Jude Kelly said his players could
learn from the Green Knights' determination
in the final two minutes.
"At some point m the season, we're going
to need to do that (march for a score)

"They just wanted it more than us at the

SHS missed scoring when Erika

long. NB's Sara Francini took the
,ball on a breakaway and sent it to
Gertz but Lalla came up with a diving
save. Gem's last shot went long
and wide.
The offense's best effort came
in the early minutes of the third
quarter when a pass to Scott Sershen
and a run by Mike Maggipinto
netted a first down.
Then on the next possession
on third down/eight yards to go,
Gary Sweezey, who finished with
four receptions for 61 yards, made
the catch of the game -- if not the
year.
O'Hara threw long over the
middle and Sweezey made a diving,
fingertip grab to give the Blue
Knights a first down at Notre

"That one he made on the fly

Southington would get.no

"They're excellent," Busa said

We were ust outclassed."
One player who stood out in
the game was Jillian Musshom.
"She looked really good,"
noted Busa. "She is playing a new
position, which is sweeper, and
she's doing very well."
With the loss, SHS's record
fell to 1-5 overall.
In action last Friday at home,
Southington lost a close one to

to undid communication
used by the deaf," said Haning n.
As a result of the project, some
ton and her hmband Roy, have
lcamed sign langmg
On Sep 20, two pos ge stamps
were issued in California to promote
deaf awareness. On one s np is the
hand sign r "I Love You." Pictured
on the second stump is' a mother
signing the same words m her child.
Harrington and other local
grange members were formally presented
, ath the stumps on Sept. 21.
by postal worker Tun Peddns at the
Souddngton Post O ce.
Though not a stamp collector,
I-hrdugmn said she thought acquiring
the stumps was impomnt m promote
deaf awareness. "They are
beautiful," she said about the stamps
which are being sold at local post office
Programs planned for this year
include providing hearing chmcs,
sign language demenswations and
educatmnalp for several elemenum/
schools. Grange members
have been promoting the importance
of hearing pmt don and providing
information about the hazard of
noise pollution.

"We are holding this pubhc

"We are issuing an open invitation
for sooal workers, edueato rs_
and others who may have ideas or

From what we are h-e ring, it
appears that we have many indMdual
programs here and there that are
very promising, yet our state effom
as a whole remain fragmented," she
noted.
Dandraw was recently appointed
co-cha rman of the subcommittee,
which is examining ways to improve
child abuse prevention programs.
She said the commktee is hoping
to have recommendations for
