The rift beb,•een TownCouncil Democrats and theBoard of Finance seems to bewidening into a question of

power.Though Town Council

Chairman Robert Cusanosaid Monday he "does notwant to make a rift" of overmonthly BOF reports to theCouncil, he added Wlth thesix-Democrat plurality, "itcould impose a lot of thecouncil's wishes."

Cusano explained that theremarks made at the lastCouncil meeting were in-tended to nudge the BOF intoproviding a "complete"

report of their activities.When the June report

came before the Council,Democrats complained thatit had been sent to themmuch later than the 24 hoursprovided in the Town Charterand instructed the BOF tomake July's report "ontime."

While the July report wasin •vithm 24 hours, it washand-written in memo formwhich listed action taken,account, amount, budgetyear and names of the personmaking and seconding themotion.

Candidates chosen for fall electionsby Tom Mendelastaff writer

Wolcott and PlainvilleDemocrats have filledthe last two stalls in thestarting gate fo: the fallstate-level electinns,picking candidates forseats considered to befirmly held by in-cumbents just beforethe starter's gun in bethcases.

Plainville DemocratsMonday gave theirunanimous support toNew Britain lawyerJames Scalise despitethe pleas of Plainvilleresident J. RichardBurke who ran againstincumbent PaulineKezer of the 22ndGeneral AssemblyDistrict in 1980.

Wolcott Democratsnominated a WolcottMiddle-School principalJohn Vastola tochallenge 80th DistrictRepresentative Eug.eneMigliaro despite a glar-ing absence of theSouthington delegation.

Southington TownCouncil ChairmanRobert Cusano explain-ed he did not attendbecause of conflictingschedules, but the othertwo delegates, MichaelGiammatteo andWilliam Murty stayedaway as a "show of pro-test" over Wolcott'sremoval ofSoathington's FrancesD'Ange[o from lhe statecommittee last month.

While both in-combenis are generallyconsidered well entren-ched, neither challengerfeels the race ishopeless.

"Anybody can bebeat," said Wolcott'sJohn Vastola, giving thebiblical contest betweenDavid and Goliath as anexample. "I guess Ihave to convince peopleI can do the job."

Though Cusano saidat the time of theboycott he didn't thinkSouthington would su.p-port Vastola, the first-time Wolcott candidatesaid he thought he couldpull the fat from the firewith a personal appealto town Democrats dur-

ing a phone interviewfrom Phoenix, Arizonalast Monday.

"I would go toSouthington and letthem know they are myconcern and hope thatwhat happened to

- another person wouldn'tbe taken out on me," hesaid. "I am confidentthe people ofSouthington are astuteenough to judge me forme."

Wolcott DemocraticTown Committee Chair-man PasqualeFamiglietti seems tofeet some level of sup-port will come fromtown despite thethumbs-down gesturesof higher-ups.

Noting that theSouthington has not con-tributed much money tothe campail•n in thepast, Famiglietti said he

• has gotten "substantialamounts" from town in-dividuals.

Recent contacts witha number of SouthingtonDemocrats have pro-duced vows of whole-hearted support forVastola, the chairmanadded.

Incumbent Migharoagreed with theDemocrats' charge herefused to "build coali-tions with represen-tatives from nearbydistricts."

"Who would want tocollaborate with someDemocrats who don'tknow anything but tax,tax, tax," he said. "If Iam a 'lone wolf' howcome I get all the labor,veterans and educationendorsements?"

Migharo admitted hewas "beatable," but on-ly if "a coordinated ef-fort was there," he said,noting Vastola's namedid not come out untilthe last minute.

Vastola admitted hehad not really intendedto run for Migliaro•seat, but took the postwhen contacted and wastold he looked like aviable candidate.

Noting this was thefirst New BritainDemocratic candidatefor the 22nd Districtseat, St. Pierre said thiscould be an advantagein wresting the seatfrom the three-termKezer.

Scalise, 37, said hehad been watching fromthe sidelines to see howthe winds would blow

(before coming forward.

"Historically Plain-ville runs the show," hesaid Tuesday, "but Ithink a New Britain can- -didate should do quitewell."

While no definite plal-form m yet available, henoted issues and con-cerns are already beingformulated with thehelp of PlainvilleDemocrats.

"He is not a rookie byany means" said St.Pierre. "He'll have torun real hard in Plain-ville to win inNovember."

While these two seatshave just been filled, thecontest between incum-bent Democrat GeraldCrean and RepublicanAngelo Fusco hasalready gotten under-way as Crean scoldedhis competitor for"scaring town residentsunnecessarily" withquestionable cancercchcerns. (see story p.1).

About the townby Ken DiMauro

Markley must make move to oust SullivanYouthful and exuberant

Southingtam resident JosephC. Markley has quite a jobahead of him.

Markiey, (27) has just cap-tured the Republicannomination to run againstcumbent Democrat WiiiiamSullivan {54) for the 16thSenatorial District seat.

No doubt references will bemade of this young Davidtaking on the well-armoredGoliath. The 16th District iscomprised of Wolcott andportions of Southington andWaterbury. The district canaptly be described as con-sistentlyDemocratic.

Sullivan, as the incumbent,will either sit hack and dovery little against Markieyor he will attack so,lely on theSouthington man s lack ofpolitical experience. Exceptfor a .few years on theSouthington Library Boardand a stint in 1981 as theSouthington RepublicanParty's •ampaign coor-dinator, Markiey does nothave much political ex-perience.

Sullivan, on the other hand,has spent 14 years in theState Senate. In aDemocratic controlledGeneral Assembly he can beconstrued as a powerful

man.But Marl0ey can boast that

he .will be 'nobody's man butthe people's.' That sloganworked rather well for U.S.Senator Lowell Weicker inhis 1982 race.

The SouthingtonRepublican 'also can choose

Joseph Markley

to attack Sullivan's age andhealth. In 1982, Sullivan wontinto the hospital for an opera-tion, and it ,was rumored hehad cancer. He virtuallycampaigned from hishospital bed. Shor•dy after hewon, he was back at his oldstomping grounds at" theCapitol. The rumors, though,still persisto

The senatar's opponent in1982 was another young manby the name of JosephStanga. Stanga did prettywell against Sullivan whenyou take in the odds.However, Stanga refused tomake Sullivan's health a fac-tor. The younger man lost thedistrict by 6,301 and nearlybeat Sullivan in Wolcott.

Stanga pushed and pushedin the area media. He oftencould be found sitting in TheObserver office, discussingone of his ideas. Much moretmpm-tant i• the fact that

William Sullivan

Stango didn't come in just to'shoot the breeze' or hearhimself talk. He had a lot ofgood ideas and wasn't afraidto discuss them.

Stango did as well as hecould in Waterbury, cowsider{rig Sullivan's strengththere. True, Markiey isknown in Southington, butcertainly the youngster'sname cannotbe considered ahousehold word here.

Markley's campaignstrategy will concentrate onWaterbury because Sullivanwill do best there. Markieywill try to attract the ethnicvotes in the district. Markleyis 27, and he notes that willattract some would-bevoters. He also speaks fluontSpanish and plans to do a lotof campaigning in the His-panic section of the district.

In Wolcott, popularRepublican State Rep.Eugene Migltarn has thrown

Markley his support.Markley will go house-to-house with the bombasticMigliaro and talk issues. Willthat be enough?

However, Markley shouldnot forget Southington.M-.•.-••• aL,-eedy b,_•___,•.edthat he is better known inSouthingtan than Sullivan is.The grandson of colorfulgrain businessman ClarenceCowles (Cowles passed awayin 1975), Markley does indeedknow Southington and itsconcerns. He can do a lat for

Unfortunately, intentionsar• not everything.Sonthington still is heavilyDemocratic, and the incam-bent could win here. Evenwith Republican Reagan atthe head of the ticket,Southington is still a questionmark.

Markiey must realize thatunless the COP gra[• controlof the State Assembly, he willbe just one of a few voicesflapping in the breeze. If hebecomes a strong critic of hisDem counterparts, as StateRep. Migliaro has done, thenhe may he partly effective,but it win still take him oneterm to learn what's going onup at the Capitol.

Speaking Out!by Raymond R. Baginski, Sr.

'We had nothing to hide...'How much longer is

Seuthington going to put upwith the personality of theTown •anager? Can it bepossible that there is no onein the world who can be agood administrator as wellas a polite and considerateone at the same time -- toreplace him?

He made a comment at thelast Council meeting --directed at me -- of "Sneak-ing" around the sewer treat-ment plant. He mumbledabout a "former Coun-

cilman" . ....... . Hepresented a statement (not asignature contained letter)reportedly obtained from aGary Willard {who neveridentified himself to Mr.Kratzke, who asked him (4)simple questions while I satin the car)

These {4) slmp]e questionswere asked at sewer Treat-ment plants in Bristol,Met{den, Cheshire, Plain-ville and also an attempt wasmade at New Britain, whereI was reminded it was part of

•the Mattahassett RegionalTreatment plant located offRoute 9 on theCromwell/Middletown line.This plant serves severaltowns.

Thanks to your reporter forbringing attention to thetruth by checking our storyand reporting that guestbooks at the Met{den planthad a record of date & time,as well as our signatures, at-testingto our presence there.This shows there is a positiveside to have "sign-in" booksin town hall O•u'#recordedsignatures showed we did notobject to such record-keeping! If we had.developments since wouldprnve how foolish we wouldhave looked. Again we thankyour reporter for checkingfor the truth in this matter!

To further the truth --whon we missed the road tothe Cheshire Sewer Plant,Mr. Kratzke (sneakily?) sug-gested we stop at theCheshire Police head-•uarters to ask directions.

pan being told to go to TownHall, Mr. Kratzke (craftily?)asked the police desk atten-dant to call Town Hall on theintercom and get directionsfocus. Evontuany, we arriv-eclat the plant, where whodid we run into? -- noneother than the sewersuperintendent himself(sneakily?).

In New Britain's Town Hallas I was checking thebuilding directory for theproper sewer office location,a voice from behind startledme, "Yoo seem to be lost.May I help you.. It was a ci-ty employee in workingclothes. Telling him of my in-terest in the location of thesewer treatment plant, hevolunteered that it used to beon Christian Lane -- but isnew located off of Route 9 inMiddletown. "Oh", I said,"You mean the MattabassettDistrict plant servingsevere] towl•". .

Friday, July 27, 1984, wevisited the sewer plant inSouthington at 3:40 p.m. Thistime the gates were locked;they weren't the first twotimes. We had accomplishedsomething!

This third visit shows weare not impressed by Mr.Willard's {resigned sa-calledletter; we were not impress-ed by the Supt. of Sewer'spresence at the Councilmeeting; we certainly arenot impressed by Mr.Weichsel's chain of com-mand subjective report pro-grammed to discredit or castdoubt on our motives. As of-fleers of the TaxpayersAssociation, we remind them

that our by-laws list (8) ob-jectives, three of whichfollow:

To foster, encourage andpromote a non-partisan in-terest in, and the study of,the business and fiscal ac-tivities of local agencies assuch activities may affectthe taxpayers of Southington.Southingtqn;

To study and act on com-plaints, problems andgrievances of the taxpayers:To keep the public informed.

The public is now being in-formed- an attempt hasbeen made to verify this --that reportedly the Mr.Wlllard, mentioned in MrWeichsel's presentation tothe Council, is moving to joinMetcalf & Eddy the firm incharge of supervising theconstruction of the newsewer treatment plant inSouthington? Has he? Why?

Interesting it would be to

know if the editor would ac-cept a letter with a typedsignature as The Wiliard let-ter contained -- as recordedin the Council minutes. Yourreporter •aontious a letter;the mumbling seemed tore{er to a letter and somemontion of protocol.

Summertime! Formost of us, it provides abreak in the year fromwork and respon-sibilities in the form ofvacation -- a welldeserved chance to restand recuperate from a•ectic and often anxietyproducing way of life.

Success on the softball fieldThere are numerous outstanding slo-

pitch softball players in the community,and there are those who utilize their sparetime in participating in their favorite.spring and summer outdoor sport in twofine organized softball leagues. These arethe pla•,ers who are excelling on the soft-Im]l diamond more often than theircounterparts.

There are 12 residents who are playingfor the undefeated Stanco Heating squad,considered among the very best in theSouthington Parks and Recreation Men'sSoftball League, as well as the Avery'sSoda involved in the New BritainRestaurant Division B League. And,ironically, three of the players are PaulD'Agestino, Peter D'Agostino and PhilD'Agostaun, three brothers who are kneek-mgthe cover off the ball

,The local softball players all have onecommon goal. They want to display theirpotential in every game they play, andprovide classy performances for theirmany followers. Besides displaying out-standing sportsmanship on and off thefield, they want to reward their sponsors

-for their confidence and financial support

Their accomplishments have beenappreciated by their huge throngs becauseStanco Heating notched 18 straight vic-tories during the regular season, and thepl•,, • compiled a 19-4 recordov•r•l•r• •he New B.,rita• Leag•e• . ,

This talented dozen has already coppedthe Northern District Class B Slo-PitchASA Softball Tournament in Plainville,and are the favorites to take the Town Aplayoff championship. They may be theonly players who have won more than 40games in one season

Besides the three D'Agostino brothers,the other players participating for Stancoand Avery's are Jim McAleen, A1 Roy,Ron Klein, Len Matins, Run Wygonowski,Dominic Lombardo, Bill Breski, Gary Coxand Frank Smole, Jr

So far this season, these athletes havescored a total of 322 runs in 21 games, or anaverage of 15.3 runs and their opponentshave crossed the plate 108 times, or anaverage of 5 1 runs per game. They havefour shut-outs in New Britain.

This is the second successive season thatthe 12 players have been playing in twoleagues Last year, they were spouso.r.edby Pete's Mini Golf andwere engageu mthe Southington Softball League and alsoplayed in the New Britain IndependentLeague This season, Stanco Heating tookover the sponsorship m the Town Leagueand Avery's is sponsoring them in the NewBritain Restaurant League. In 1983, theycaptured the title in the New Britan In-dependent League, winning 20 games anddropping only three

Most of the athletes on the two teamshave been playing together from five to 10years.

Jim Adamowiez is the manager of theStanco club, while Paul D'Agostino isrunning the Avery's Soda squad.

Both managers have been impressedwith the dedication and 100 plus percenteffort every member of the squad devoteseveryiime they are inaction• Adamowiczand D'Agostino said, "Ourplayers are allbusiness on the field, and is the mainreason why they are very successful."

The local players established a NewBritain Class B Division Softball Leaguerecord this season when they registered 35runs in a- game, and the re6ord in theSouthington Softball League is 22 runs fora single contest In 19 battles in the NewBritain circuit this season, they havescored 248 runs, or an average of 13.3 runsand given up 136 runs, an average of sevenruns .l•r game. At this writing, they havecompiled a record of 19-4 in the NewBritain circuit and have chalked up 20straight in the Southingtqn. circuit, in-clading two wins in the opening games inthe playoffs when they eliminated CenturyTooldecisively. They have also compiled acommendable record of scoring in doublefigures in 84 percent of their games.

All-Stars' responsibilities

It is considered a great honor when anyathlete attains All-Star recognition for his

o•her outstandin• success in eithera •e"•r" 61• p-r6re s-iona"l •-.•hl•." 0nly asmall percentage of the athletes in anyleague ever receive special recognition fortheir contributions in athletic competition.

For being selected on an All-Star Squad,athletes also have some responsibilities totheir managers because they arerecognized as true sportsmen on and offthe field.

We were saddened the other day whenwe learned that two members of a LittleLeague All-Star squad accepted the honorbestowed upon them knowing they wereonly going to play one mOre game andsubsequently quit. Quitters, as far as thiscolumnist is concerned, should not getinvolved in athletic competition if theydon't have the best interest of their teamor league at heart. Unfortunately, the All-Star Squad .they represented was quicklyeliminated from the tournament becausethey were ranked as the top two hitters andfielders on the squad. These two playersnever should have accepted All-Starrecognition in the first place, when theyknew they were going on vacation whilethe double elimination tournament Wasgoing on. They would have displayedoutstanding sportsmanship had theynotified their managers andcoaches theywere planning to be on vacation. We arenot going to identify the players or theleague they misrepresented because weare not interested in embarrassing themany more, because the damage has beendone. We just hope this situation doesn'toccur again. The team they representedcould have advanced in the tournamenthad they played more than one game.

Presently, Bill does ll-histration work for theHartford Courant anddifferent advertisingagencies, and he is alsowriting a book on penand ink illustrationwhich will be publishedin New York and cir-culated around theUnited States

At one time, Bill wasan editorial cartoonistfor the Step Saver andObserver, and hecredits Observer editorJim Senich with helpinghim decide on a careeriti illustration.

Post 72 pulls out vo dramatic winsby Dwight Moorefor The Observer

' SOU-THINGTON --They had a flair for thedramatic.

The Southington Post72 American Legionbasl•ball team capturedtwo wins out pf threegames in the past week,to improve their recordto 6-14. But both of thewins were heart-stoppers as the teamhad to come out frombehind in both and thenpull it out of the fire inthe final inning.

Southington's first..•.n Lhough was thebigger of the two as ithelped snap the team'sfour-game losing streakJuly 26. Going againstMiddletown, the localsbad a 2-0 lead after fiveonly. to see themselvestrailing 4-2 heading intothe seventh. But in thatcritical last inningsituation, the localsresponded by smashingthree of their t0 hits offPost 72's Tony Francoas they scored threeruns on the way to a big5-4 victory.

Dave Lunn led off th•decisive frame as hereached first on a buntand stole second. He gotto third on C.hris Allen'sfly to right. Post 72 thencut the lead to 4-3 whenLunn scored on PeteMeade's single to left.Kevin Albert doubled tocenter as DaveThompson couldn't hawdie his fly ball and thatsent Meade to third. Thelocals won it on a singleby Gary Path. Thomp-son dived but couldn'tmake the catch asMeade and Albert camehome with the winningruns.

Covered bridgesDid you know that

• Connecticut, at onetime, had over sixtycovered hif•hway andrailroad bmdges • Didyou also know that onlya few remain today?Even though Southing-ton has no coveredbridges, you do not haveto drive to Vermont orNew Hampshire toenjoy a covered bridge.Plus. the bri,dge I re-cently VISI• Ib ver•

much a part of Ameri-can history.

The West CornwallBridge, on Route 7 mCornwall, Ct, is over130 years old. It m one oftwo of the original togA-teen that once crossedthe Housatonic River inCt. The other, BullsBridge, is located inKent. A third coveredbridge is in Colchesternear Route 16.

The West Cornwallbridge, which was alsocalled Harts Bridgeafter an early settler,had survived over adozen floods, when thestate moved to repair itto its present shape in1945 It's latme type con-struction gives it asymmetrical design,and it can hold moreweight than one wouldbelieve As I walkedacross it, a campertrailer came up behindme The bridge bounceda little but it d•d notcreak. Considemng thefact that it is composedentirely of wood, isamamng

Connecticut's firstcovered bridge wasbuilt in 1818 by IthielTowns and IsaacDanron. It was calledthe Hartford Toll Bridgeand was prwatelyowned, crossing theConnecticut River inHartford Built at a costof $40,000, it was con-structed of native pine,was 974 feet long, andhad two lanes fortraffic. It was illuminat-ed by day by skylightsand at mght by oillamps

The bmdge was pur-chased by the surround-ing towns in 1889Trolleys ran across thebmdge on March 28,1892. Sadly, the bridgewas destroyed by fire onMay 17, 1895

Connecticut's longestcovered bridge was 1080feet long and spannedthe mouth of theHousatonic Riverbetween Naugatuck,Junctio• and Devon. Itwas owned by the NewHaven Railroad and ithas seven spans and adrawbridge for passing

railroad bridges havelong since been replacedwith modern bridges.M•R-•eovored- b•agesfell viehm to fires,floods, or a marineworm called reredos,which eats away at theunderstructure of thebridges, making themunsafe

Connecticut residentscan be proud of our re-maining coveredbridges, plus some oftheir creators, such as:'bridge designer.Theodore Burr of Tort-region, architect IthielTown of Thompson, andmaster builder.Jonathan Walcott el•Wmdham Althoughthese and many othermen were responsiblefor construction ofbridges within our state,they received more ac-

But why are coveredbridges covered? Whileno one knows why, themost rightly held theoryis that they are coveredto protect the mainstructure of the bridgefrom the elements.
