Prominent attorney partnership ends 

The 14-year tenure of 

the Sokolowski and 

Dunham law firm 

comes to a close at the 

end of this month, as the 

two partners go their 

separate ways to grow 

professionally. 

Attorney John J. 

Dunham will remain at 

the 97 N. Main St. office 

with a general practice, 

while Attorney Carl J. 

SokolowskA will open 

new facilities at 70 

Berlin Avenue on 

August 1. 

Dunham, a U-Corm 

Law School graduate, 

came to the Southington 

practice after his tenure 

as a Hartford Superior 

Court law clerk. Currently 

a YMCA vice 

president, he was also 

Chamber of Commerce 

president in the mid 

70's. 

While he did serve as 

first selectman of Bur- 

Atty. Sokolowski 

lington, his home town, 

for one term ending 

1980, Dunham denied 

any future political ambztions. 

"I enjoy practicing 

law," he explained, including 

everyday realestate 

procedures along 

with the more exciting 

jury-trial cases 

Atty. Dunham 

The split was considered 

necessary 

because of Sakolowski's 

Southington probate 

iudl eship, a potential 

lability to any partners 

wanting to ethically 

practice probate law 

"I is a time to grow 

and would have been a 

limitation," Dunham 

said. 

Sokolowski, a Yale 

Law School graduate, 

began his legal career 

as a federal-government 

lawyer" before 

coming to private practice 

in Scuthington 18 

years ago. He is currently 

the town's probate 

judge• 

Also a general-practice 

attorney, Sokolowski, 

like Dunham, is a 

registered Republican, 

but seems to shun the 

limelight. 

He did however, serve 

as the lone Republican

that the measure allows

"Already, more than

said "More mportantly,

"Home care lessens

Markiey said. "If we

"I'd also point out that millions of dollars every

According to the protop,Steal. 

the school superndent

if possible, 

before a stuOent was

"The buildin pmncipal 

or hls/her

to use sound professional 

judgment in

In exercising 

such judgment, the prmclpal 

or principal's 

designee shall determlne 

whether a search 

would be intrusive in 

light of the student's age 

and the nature of the infraction 

A search of a 

student's person shall 

only be conducted by a 

person or the same sex

"A strip search of a

In all other cases,

Under school board

Southington officials, 

noting that the CRRA 

unit did not have a fixed 

dumping fee, spearheaded 

the drive to get 

the Bristol plant built 

Town Manager John 

Weichsel said that 

Wolcott only generates 

about 5 percent of the 

650 tons the Bristol plant 

is designed to handle, 

and would pose no problem 

if they decided to 

join Waterbury. 

"Once the plant is on 

line, we'll have other 

towns rushing to join in. 

If they are not in a 

crush, there's a tendency 

to put off a decision," 

Weichs l said 

The Bristol plant, 

which officials have 

decided to fund with 

fixed-rate, long-term 

municipal bonds, only 

awafls DEP permits 

and the signing of the 

year contracts by the 

eight towns.

the plant runs at a 535ton-per-day

"The goal is for each 

area to have an advtsory 

board, and the 

one I'm speaking of 

would center around 

Cheshire Correctional 

Instttuhon " 

Currently. area churches 

have been contacted 

to see f they would 

hk tu asmst m the 

fellowship Those churches 

that involve themselves 

would need to appoint 

a representative to 

meet with the board 

Those interested n 

becoming volunteers 

with the prison fellowship 

must be willing to 

mgn a statement of faith 

to work tn th s mterdenominahonalChristian 

group 

"The statement of 

faith is like the Apostle's 

Creed, but it states that 

the person beheves m 

Jesus as Savtour," 

Salka satd "The 

voluntee in th s statement, 

also state their 

belief in the bible as the 

divinely inspired word 

of God." 

Salka, a kindergarten 

teacher at St Matthew's 

Lutheran School in New 

Britain, is also the 

mother of two daughters 

She teaches only in 

the mornings during the 

school year, so hme ts 

available to devote to 

working wtth the 

fellowship 

She admtts to feehng 

a sbght bit of anxtety 

when she partict.paled in 

her first prison seminar. 

but said there was really 

no fear or hesitation 

in the undertaking 

"If God gives you an 

area of service in the 

mmistry, then he gives 

you everything to go 

with it." Salka satd

Merit pay for teachers 

The subject of merit pay for experienced 

teachers based on nahonw de tests and 

standards has h stomemlly been denounced 

by teacher's unions The two largest unions. 

the American Federation of Teachers and 

National Education Assolcatlon. have been 

against the proposal right from the start in 

1959 

But, sudSenly, one of the leading 

teacher's umon voices. Albert Sbanker, 

president of the Amemcan Federation of 

Teachers, comments that he has had a 

change of mind, and now favors some form 

of meant pay for teachers 

heard the arguments about merit pay for at 

least 5 years and the issue does not go 

away Most people in this country believe 

work and better work ought to be 

rewarded, and opposing th|s makes us look 

like we are not interested in quality So we 

ought to flunk about ways of handling the 

issue while avmdmg the pitfalls " 

The teaching profession has been untouched 

over theyears when it came to 

merit pay Rare indeed 

The incentive for better teaching should 

be the gratification of seeing students 

become better educated But a monetary 

reward for the better teachers should be 

part of the scenario There is always the 

chance the average teacher could become 

above average with this kind of stimulation 

The ssue was brought to light in a big 

way at the debates among candidates for 

Democratic presidential nomination last 

year 

Thus far, those favoring merit pay claim 

it's a symbol of the need to promote competency 

in teaching, however, many 

teachers feel t will be divisive and 

dangerous to morale Those against also 

feel administrator's favoritism would 

surface or arbitrary standards would be 

used. setting up unequal ciasses in school 

distracts 

V, mt Shanker proposes IS a panel of 

experts to develop and admimster national 

examinations of teachers' knowledge o! 

their subject areas He adds that *'there 

would be no problem for a union in 

negotiating a contract that says that boardcertified 

teachers would be paid more 

money " 

There would be two steps to be taken 

before a teacher would be ehgible for merit 

pay Passing the tests and a good 

evaluahon on their classroom performance 

It ould be up to the local school districts 

to decide whether to use the tests as a 

standard 

Merit .p .y for teachers sounds like a good 

idea If it lhmprove the quahty of teaching. 

It has to be good. The American Federation 

of Teachers will explore the dea at a 

conference m the fall But the fact such a 

prestigious teacher's union voice as that of 

Shanker's has put his stamp of approval on 

the idea is a giant step m the right direction 

Strip searching students 

Talk about bad timing, the Southmgton 

School System proposes that strip searching 

of students be allowed, under certain 

circumstances 

This comes on the heels of a strip search

Legal reform finally underway 

A bill dealing with 

discipline procedures 

against Lawyers has been 

signed by Gov Wilham 

O'Neill. 

The measure is supposed 

to help common folk, who 

believe they have been 

wronged by lawyers, to have 

their compLaints acted upon 

more quickly than in the 

past 

The new law probably 

would not be a reality if fate 

were decided by many 

lawyers and judges The

Rep Christopher Shays of 

Stamford raised hell and 

went to jail, calhng attention

Hartford Probate Judge 

James Kmsella and the 

lawyers who handled the 

multi-million dollar estate of 

a wealthy ,' est Hartford

Kmsella quit before the 

General Assembly had a 

chance to impeach him 

Shays was still unhappy with 

the pace with which the 

Hartford-New Britain 

District Grievance Committee 

dealth with his 

complaint against the 

lawyers and he was 

determined to try to do 

something to improve a 

system in which lawyers and 

judges take care of thew 

own 

Judge Norris L O'Neill 

cited Shays for contempt of 

court when the Stamford 

lawyer tried to speak out 

during a heanng concerning 

possible disciplinary action 

against lawyer Alexander A 

Goldfarb, one of the lawyers 

involved in the West Hartford 

estate controversy 

Shays went to jail because 

of his stand in the courtroom 

The publicity focused attention 

on a system that 

begged for change 

It will be interesting to see 

if Judge O'Neill is as tough in 

handling complaints against 

lawyers as he was in dealing 

with a lawmaker interested 

in telling the truth in court

Two issues that made

1985 session of the General 

Assembly are victims' rights 

and combatting drunk 

driving 

Perhaps the strongest 

deterrent yet to driving 

drunk is the "per se" law. 

which states that a person 

with a blood-alcohol content 

of 0 I percent is legally 

drunk While the results of a 

"breathahzer" test have 

long been admissible in 

court, the "per se" law 

makes a 01 blood alcohol 

level virtually irrefutable 

evidence, carrying an 

automatic conviction And 

the mandatory sentence for a 

flrst-hme conviction is now 

48 hours in jail or 100 hours in 

community service It should 

be noted, ho ever, that there 

are valid arguments against 

the "per se" law For 

example, opponents point out 

that giving a machine so 

much weigh.t in determining 

a person s drunkeness

TI Observer, Thuxsday, July 18, 1985 

Connecticut Law in Plain Language: 

B--e-W- re ge-T n--€-€-[iquick' schemes 

by Attorney General Joseph i. Lieberman 

there's an old saying 

•at applies generally to 

ai consumer fraud: "If 

it sounds too good to be 

true, it probably is." We 

all should keep that in 

mind when considering 

investment opportunities-particularly 

those get-rich schemes 

that seem to offer so 

much in a short period 

of time. 

One federal source 

estimates that the 

amount of money raked 

in by so-called "whitecollar" 

criminals 

from unsuspecting 

investors approaches 

what the underworld 

makes annually from 

il]egal drug deals. If the 

source is right, that's 

about $80 billion. Tax 

shelter frauds alone are 

estimated to have 

drained $25 billion from 

the public and the U S 

Treasury last year 

With the economy 

more stable, and Inflation 

under control, 

more pemple are willing 

to take risks to increase 

their savings for the 

future. And that makes 

more people potential 

targets for investment 

schemes and tax frauds 

There are two laws In 

effect m Connecticut 

designed to protect you 

Yohr Social Security: 

from fraudulent 

business and tax opportunities. 

One is the 

Uniform Securities Act, 

which 30 other states 

also have on the books. 

It requires the 

registration of all 

securities dealers and 

brokers with the state, 

and full disclosure of 

information to potential 

investors about the true 

nature of the investment 

opportunity being offered 

for sale 

The other law is the 

Business Opportunities 

Investment Act. It 

requires anyone offenng 

a business opportumty 

to register and 

disclose details with the 

state prior to sale to the 

public. In addition, the 

seller of a business 

opportunity must 

provide prospective 

investors with a written 

document containing 

details of the opportunity 

A "business 

opportumty" refers 1o 

the sale or lease of 

supplies or services to 

investors for the purpose 

of starting a 

usinoss 

In Connecticut, it is 

the state Banklng 

Department that 

regulates the Securitles 

and Business Op- 

.p.ortunitios laws. While 

1t is not possible for the 

department to fully 

analyze all disclosure 

materials being offered 

to the public, it does not 

regularly issue announcements 

to the 

public about known 

nvestment schemes 

and tax frauds. It also 

circulates an "Investor 

Alert" in cooperation 

with the North 

American Securities 

Administrators Association 

and the Council of 

Better Business 

Bureaus, Onc. Contact 

the Banking Department 

in Hartford for 

more details on their 

educational announcements. 

Here are some tips 

you can use if you are 

considering an mvestment 

or business 

opportunity 

• Check to see ff the 

broker or the person 

offering a business 

opportunity is 

registered with the 

state 

• Be susploous If you 

are told, "We are not 

reqmred to regulated 

by the state 

• Be skephcal if, when 

you are given a 

dmclosure statement, 

you are told, "This is 

reqmred by law, but it's 

leffers fhe newspaper7 

very complicated and 

you don't have to bother 

reading it." 

• Read all disclosure 

statements carefully. 

Be sure you understand 

exactly what the 

potential daflgers of the 

investment or business 

opportunity are. 

• You may wish to 

consult with your attorney 

or accountant 

before deciding on an 

investment or business 

opportunity. Since risk 

is revolved, ff you can't 

afford to lose whatever 

you invest, you probably 

should not take the 

gamble, and 

• If you have any 

doubts, do not hesitate 

to contact the Securities 

Dwminn of -the Banking 

Department in Hartford, 

or the Securities 

and Exchange Commission, 

whmh s the 

federal body that 

regulates all nvestments 

on a national 

bas s 

portumt|es can yield a 

substantml return on 

your money But if the 

scheme is crooked from 

the start, the risk of 

losing your money will 

become a certainty 

And that's the law, m

Altering schedules 

Should teams in the Central Connecticut 

Conference be allowed to change their 

baseball schedules" Plait coach Rich Katz 

feels the schools should not be able to 

alter their schedules 

Another question Did the principles of 

the CCC schools vote on the issue" Katz 

says they did However. members of the 

hvernlng body of the CCC. contacted by 

e Observer. say the matter was never 

discussed or voted upon Furthermore. 

these officials are against Katz' plan 

..... ' ..... The ,n , 

In .h.. J.......d,t.... of ......... 

Katz said the headmasters of the 24 

schools m the CC, during their June 

meetm , suo rt __ h plan that baseball. 

teams must ab de by the baseball schedule 

and not change the dates 

However. several athletic members of 

the Southern Division of the Central 

Connecticut Conference. including 

Southington. Malonev and New Britain 

High Schools. said th{s is not true because 

they are not awarea vote was taken by the 

principals of the schools involved 

Southlngton High School principal John 

Gasecki said several days ago that he 

attended the June meeting with other CCC 

Headmasters and it didn't come up for 

discussion while he was there 

"I had to leave several minutes before 

the meeting ended because I had another 

high school commitment It was never 

brought to my attention by the other high 

school principals." he added 

Norb Fahey. athletic director of 

Maloney High School. also expressed the 

same sentiments as Gasecki "I didn't 

hear any reports on the schedule rule 

change and I haven't seen the minutes of 

that baseball meeting." Fahey said 

He points out that baseball coaches 

should be allowed to change their baseball. 

schedules by mutual agreement if there is 

a good reason to do it 

Fahey definitely supports athletic teams 

taking long trips during school vacations 

and said out-of-state trips are educational 

and athletes can learn many things away 

from home 

Southington High Athletic Coordinator 

Dom D'Angelo also said he was not 

aware that an ofhclal vote was taken by 

the headmasters of the 24 CCC schools on 

chang g baseball schedules starting next 

spring 

"I a eflmte y in favor of having 

athletic teams taking week-long trips 

when parents and friends of athletic teams 

raise thousands of dollars for this purpose." 

D'Angelo said 

D'Angelo said he attended the June 

meeting of school officials in Newlngton 

and wasn't aware that the headmasters 

were going to approve Katz's proposal 

"I was under the impression that it was 

defeated ,n committee I also feel that 

changing dates of athlehe schedules for 

one week is a very routine matter." the 

hard-working D'Angelo points out 

Bill Huber, athletic director at New 

Britain High School and sports coordinator 

for the Southern Division of the Central 

Connecticut Conference. said, "I am not 

aware the CCC headmasters officially 

approved the plan mandating that 

baseball coaches cannot change the 

original baseball schedule 

Huber added. "I definitely believethat 

readjusting the baseball schedule s hhoud 

be treated routinely because sports trips 

during vacations IS educational and should 

not be jeopardized when there is eagerness 

by team boosters to raise the money for it 

"I still believe the baseball schedule 

issue is still up m the air as far as the 

headmasters are cdncerned and it could 

come up for discussion at a latel date.- 

Huber pointed out He said he would be- 

OIIO 

surprised If the proposal by Katz would 

receive sufficientbacking for approval 

New Britain and Southlngton High 

School athletic teams have taken vacation 

trips frequently in recent years because 

booster clubs and friends and parents of 

the teams have spo/asored fundraming 

projects to realize thousands of dollars 

Another high school reportedly planning 

to take an April vacation trip is Windsor 

High School. according to Blue Knights 

head baseball coach John Fontana 

Fontana also points out that the Blue 

Knights baseball vacation trips have been 

very educational to the entire squad of 24 

or more players 

"If the question of making a decision to 

take a vacat,on trip in April ever comes up 

again, I would definitely' support it if it 

means that I would have to forfeit baseball 

games scheduled the week of the school 

vacation," Fontana said 

"We would never interfere with any 

plans schools in .the CCC make m sending 

their baseball teams or any other spring 

varsity teams on a trip during school 

vacation We v, ould reschedule our games 

with them and make them up when they 

return," Fontana added 

Whether the Blue Knight diamonders 

will take another trip during the April 

vacation in 1986 hasn't been determined 

yet. Fontana added 

Katz earlier said. "I am not opposed to 

Southmgton taking a trip during their 

spring vacation, but it should be done 

before the regular baseball season starts " 

In supporting his plan, Katz said, "Our 

school enrollment is dropping every year 

and we are the smallest school m 

enrollment of om southern division conference 

It IS very d fhcult for us to play 

four games a week because we would be at 

a distinct disadvantage We are currently 

an M school so far as the CIAC is concerned, 

and t wouldn't surprise me if Platt 

was lowered to Class S lSmall School) in 

the next several years "' 

Whalers hockey interest 

Because many more Southlngton 

professional enthusiasts supported the 

Hartford Whalers National Hockey 

League team last season. Bill Maso, 

director of recreation, has announced that 

he will promote as many as 10 to 12 

Whalers games at the Hartford Civic 

Center for the upcoming 1985-86 season 

"We sponsored eight hockey bus trips 

last season to the Hartford Civic Center 

and most of the tickets 40 per trlpl were 

sold several days before the scheduled 

Whalers game." Masci explains 

The Whalers have measurably improved 

their game dunng the last two seasons 

when they moved from 20th to 14th place 

among the 21 teams in the four divisions 

Advance hcket sales have increased 

substantially so far this summer and one 

of the reasons is the National Hockey 

League All-Star Game, which will be 

played m Hartford Tuesday, Feb 4, m 

conjunction with the 350th Birthday of the 

State of Connecticut and Hartford 

Season ticket holders will be getting first 

priority on the sale of the All-Star Game 

hckets and a capacity crowd of more than 

15.00 spectators is assured The Civic 

Center is undergoing a major renovation 

project featunng several hundred more 

sky boxes, which will provide seats for 

15.150 spectators

Southington Soccer 

season. 

The Sabers (B-II

over the fourth of July 

weekend and played 

some of the best seceer 

they have played all

represented by Joshua 

Allen, Erie Carson, 

Gary Collins, Kelly 

CYooker, Soan Donovan, 

Ursula Elsinger, Jason 

Giano, Chris Klatt, 

Tabitha Lyons, Chris 

Stack, Kurt Stance, 

D bra Suess, Jarred

Billy Warren, and Erik 

Toohey 

The Sabers drew the 

eventual winner of their 

fivel-team dlwsion, 

Deice White Lighting (a 

county w de select team 

from Delaware County, 

PAl in their opening 

game The Sabers 

could not hold back the 

very talented Delco 

team and lost 11-0 

The Sabers did not 

give up and came back 

very strongly in the 

afternoon to play an mspired 

game in a very 

physical contest against 

a team from Miami, FI 

-- Arvida United SC 

The Sabers, behind fine 

goal tending by Kevm 

Wallace and Chris 

Stack, were able to hold 

Arv da to two goals I one 

of which was on a close 

call penalty shot in the 

first half and shut out 

Arvida in the second 

half. The Sabers had opeoue 

eartUmties but could not 

t the Arvlda keeper 

Saturday mormng the 

Sabers played a team 

from the Brookfield Soccer 

Club of Brookheld. 

CT. They fell behind 2-0 

in the first half, but 

rallied for one goal by 

Erik Toohey, before 

Brookfield closed out 

the scoring with two 

more goals. 

The Sabers final game 

of the tournament ended 

up being the most exciting. 

The Sabers were 

matched up with the 

Granby Rovers of Granby, 

CT. The Sabers 

came out slashing and 

put a lot of pressure on 

the Granby keeper and 

were able to score the 

first goal when Jarred 

Tebo tapped it in a 

crossing pass from 

Chris Klatt But Granby 

tied the score midway 

into the first half 

The Sabers again 

came out strongly at the 

start of the second half. 

but just could not get the 

ball into the net With 

about ten minutes left to 

lay in the game, Grany 

scored the winning 

goal to take a very hardfought 

2-1 victory 

The Sabers also had 

the pleasure of housing 

members of the Delco 

Blue Thunder and East 

Fishklll Panthers at 

their homes for the 

weekend.

East Fishklll, NY, the 

Stars seemed hypnotized 

into watching East 

Fishkdl play and net six 

goals m the opening 35 

minutes 

They came out of the 

trance in the second 

half. totally dominating 

play, but in spite of 

three goals scored by 

Jason Matthews. at 

least ten good opportunihes 

were missed 

and the Stars fell victim 

to thew own mistakes. 6- 

3 

With their backs to the 

•, all. the Stals had 

play Intercounty. PA. 

m the second game and 

the dispirited team 4ook 

one look at the size of 

this "All Star" team 

from Philadelphia and 

realized that this would 

be a Davtd-Gohath type 

dual The Stars were not 

disappointed as the 

Pennsylvania team was 

not only much bigger, 

but they had the skills to 

go with their physical 

superiority A valiant 

effort by the Stars 

resulted m a loss by a 

score of 4-1, which, as tt 

turned out, was the 

closest any team in the 

tournament came to belng 

competitive against 

th s "All-Star" team 

The Stars had no 

chance of progressing 

any further in the 

tournament, after their 

opening losses, but 

wanted to salvage some 

respect by defeating 

their third opponent. 

Guilford. CT, on Saturday 

July 6th This was a 

4 p.m game and the 

threat of thunderstorms 

was apparent In spite 

of the ominous skies, the 

game started and the 

Stars scored two goals 

in the first 20 m nutes, 

netted by Chris Ross 

and Keith Raines At 

this point in the contest, 

the skies opened up with 

thunder and lightning 

being the ultimate winner, 

as play was suspended 

This was a fitting end 

to what turned out to be 

a disappointing tournament 

for the gifted 

Stars 

The Spirits (B-U 16) 

also played m this tournament 

and also housed 

out-of-state teams 

On Friday it was the 

Spirits vs Arvida 

United of Fla and Arvida 

won 5-1 

Saturday they played 

the Granby Rovers in 

their division to a 04) tie 

Peter Gulh. Keith Beaupre, 

Dan Tycz, Kevm 

Marshal, Rob Hansen 

and Shawn Zenuh 

played outstanding 

defense 

Later on Saturday the 

Spirits had their first 

wm against Bux-mont 

out of Philadelphia. PA. 

Final score 3-0 Doug 

Rogala got credit for 

two goals and Brian 

Molusls for the third 

on both defense and offense 

accounted for the 

win -- 

Sunday brought the 

Sprats playing Nashua, 

NH and again the Spirits. 

played extremely well 

offensively and defen-sively, 

taking a 4-1 win. 

Credit for the goals in 

this game go to Doug 

Rogala (1 , Brian 

Molusm (21. and John 

Carmody I 1

With three starters

injured, the Scorpions 

had their work cut 

out for them for Saturday 

when they had to 

play Simsbury and East 

Granby Even though 

Southlngton had 

numerous chances, they 

could not get the ball in 

the net Slmsbury won 4- 

0, and East Granby won 

2-0 

To our surprise, Point 

St Clair beat East 

Granby, which put the 

Scorpions into the semifinals 

on Monday mornlng 

against Estrie, Sherbrook, 

Canada They 

certainly were the 

favorite to w n the 

tournament They had 

no weak spots and 

played a superb, wellskilled 

passing game 

Estrie won the game 3-0 

The Scorpions, as 

young as they are,
