Arrestedand waitingWhat causes court delays?By Don Staruk

Year long delays before criminal trials reach court, as in the case of former Andover Police Lt. Donald Mooers Jr., are not unusual and are, in fact, part of the system used, and some might say abused, by lawyers and prosecutors.

The Mooers case, in which he is charged with incest, is now in its 13th month and is scheduled for more motions and assignment of a trial date on Tuesday, Jan. 22. And while the delay in this case is beyond the average for Superior Court criminal cases, according to Steve O’Connell, spokesman for the Essex County district attorneys’s office, it is not all that unusual.

“I think the average is around nine months,” Mr. O’Connell said last week. "It may be a little quicker than that.”

Police manage dramatic

ice rescueBy Don Staruk

An Andover man was saved in a dramatic rescue by Andover police and firefighters Saturday afternoon at Old Mill Pond, adjacent to Fosters Pond.

Ernest Gulla, 55, of 443 South Main St., was out for a walk Saturday afternoon and took to the ice of the small pond after seeing skaters on the larger Fosters Pond.

Police received a call from Judith Guer- ard, of 10 Azalea Drive, at 4:39 p.m. Saturday reporting that a man had fallen through the

The chief was also looking for recommendations on how to improve the service.

TeacherssettleReach agreement on economic terms; teachers haven't votedBy Lisa Boudreau

A tentative agreement on a two-year teachers’ contract was reached Wednesday night, Jan. 6, between representatives of the School Committee and the teachers’ union.

The agreement covers economic terms for a two-year contract, but an agreement on non-economic terms has yet to be reached. Neither side would say exactly what the terms are for salary and other economic increases.


Weebus:A steal or a ripoff?By Don Staruk

An Andover resident recently questioned whether the town couldn’t do a better job of providing transportation for the elderly for less money than the Merrimack Valley Regional Transportation Authority, which operates the Weebus, Dial-A-Ride and shuttle services, in addition to its commuter lines.

DCS Pacific Northwest tour offers kids camping and youth hosteling

Students who join the Exploring America’s Pacific Northwest Tour this summer are in for more than the same old Club Med vacation.

“It really is an adventure,” said Jay Darrin, trip chaperone and Andover High School teacher.

From some of the great national parks of the United States to the great cities of the Northwest and British Columbia, students ages 12-15 will enjoy a summer vacation of fun, learning and exploring.

“One of the unique parts of the experience is that we combine 10 nights of camping with 12 nights of staying in youth hostels. It becomes a very different experience, even from a family taking the same trip,” said Mr. Darrin. Les Taylor, West Middle school teacher, the other trip chaperone.

amazing obstacles to find themselves in real life adventures. Mr. Darrin recalls, “On one of our Alaska trips, we were faced with a mudslide that covered 25 miles of a highway we needed to travel. We charted a new route and it became a true adventure. We ended up in Dawson City, one of the last cities on the Klondike gold rush. It’s still an authentic old Western town.”

Walking tours of Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco and Seattle will be combined with camping in national parks.

“We try to experience the culture out there,” Mr. Darrin said. “We hope to spend the Fourth of July at a lumberjack festival. We also like to explore the cultural communities of the cities we visit, like Vancouver’s Chinatown, its market district, fishing dock and Italian section.”

Students will take advantage of the ranger programs in the national parks and explore the wonders of the national park system.

“We will be led by a park ranger through the Ape Cave at Mount St. Helens, which is a tunnel that was formed through the lava of the eruption of nearly a decade ago.”

Rangers will lead the group on a trail ride through Tuolomne Meadows at Yosemite National Park. Students jump into history at the end of the Lewis and Clark Expedition when they visit Fort Clatsop, a national monument of living history where players lead them into life as it was in the 1800s.

At Mount Rainier, the group will actually walk through Paradise, a lush area of vegetation followed by snow covered hills. Other national parks they will tour

include Redwoods National Park, Olympic National Park, which has its own temperate rain forest, Crater Lake and Lasser Volcanic National Park.

A pre-trip weekend excursion is planned this spring to orient the students to each other and to the format of the trip. The Northwest trip will run from June 28 to July 20.

Chris Outwin

isn't runningBy Lisa Boudreau

Chris Outwin, the only member of the School Committee up for re-election this March, has decided not to run again. He has served one, three-year term on the five-person committee.

Dr. Outwin, 44, of 4 High Vale Lane, cited growing career and family responsibilities as his reasons not to seek re-election.

“It’s been a real tough year,” he said. “I’ve reached a point in my career and family development where I need to pay more attention and time to those responsibilities.”

Dr. Outwin is a professor of communications at Emerson College and he produces radio shows in Boston. He and his wife, Glenna, have three children. According to Town Clerk Randy Hanson, no one has taken out nomination papers for the vacant School Committee seat.

Anyone interested in running in the election, including one seat each on the Board of Selectmen, the Housing Authority and the town-moderator post, must submit 50 signatures of registered voters to the clerk’s office by 5 p.m Monday, Feb. 1, said Ms. Hanson.

Former one-term, School Committeeman Michael Frishman said he may run for a committee seat. Mr. Frishman, 49, told the Townsman Tuesday that he will decide within the next two weeks if he will run.Moderator

James Doherty, town moderator since 1978, is the only person who has submitted nomination papers and has had his 50 signatures verified by the clerk, said Ms. Hanson. The 77-year- old, Juniper Road resident said he’s running for the one-year post because he enjoys town government and he wants to help make it work.

John Doyle, 40 Reservation Road, has taken out nomination papers, but not returned them yet, for the town- moderator position. Mr. Doyle, 68, has run unsuccessfully against Mr. Doherty in the past. He declined to comment on his reasons for running.Housing Authority

M.J. Powell, 31 Cheever Circle, is the only member of the five-person Housing Authority up for re-election. According to Ms. Hanson, neither Ms. Powell nor anyone else has taken out nomination papers for that five-year

Make way for mail delivery

Louis Pimpare, manager of the Andover post office, asks that residents help their letter carrier deliver the mail as tbnely and safely as possible by clearing ice and snow from walkways and steps leading to their mailbox.

Last year, thousands of letter carriers across the nation suffered sprains, fractures or broken bones because they lost them balance on icy and snow-covered driveways, sidewalks, steps and porches.

“We do everything possible to deliver the mail regardless of how bad the weather becomes,” said Mr. Pimpare. “I do realize it’s not always easy to remove ice mid snow, but our carriers are not required to risk personal injury on slippery surfaces to deliver the mail.”

He is also asking the cooperation of local road authorities to keep public roadways clear of snow and ice to reduce driving hazards during the winter months.

“With postal customers and road authorities cooperatmg to reduce walking and driving hazards this winter, they will be protecting not only their letter carrier but their family and the rest of the community as well,” said Mr. Pimpare.

ice and was in the water about 100 feet offshore. Ms. Guerard said the man’s head was above water but that attempts to get a rope to him were unsuccessful and that he had already been in the water for about five minutes.

Fire, ambulance and advanced life support from Lawrence General Hospital were all dispatched, but police were the first to arrive on the scene.

Officer Robert Cronin had gotten the call just as he was about to go off duty at the police station. As he tore out of the station in his cruiser, Patrolman David St. Jean jumped into his car and followed.

Officer Cronin arrived on the scene, took a life jacket from his cruiser and the rope from Ms. Guerard and headed out on the ice because the rope was too short to reach Mr. Gulla from shore.

When Officer St. Jean arrived about a minute later, Officer Cronin was in a prone position on the ice trying to get the rope to Mr. Gulla. Remembering a lesson from his training at the state police academy, that a car tire on a rim will support four or five people in the water, Officer St. Jean pulled his spare tire out of the trunk along with the file ring from the cruiser. Officer Cronin warned Officer St. Jean that the ice was thin and not to get too close together.

“It was real thin. I mean almost

transparent,” Officer Cronin remembered Tuesday.

So Officer St. Jean set the tire on the ice, laid himself on top of it and began pushing himself around in front of Officer Cronin. After several unsuccessful attempts, Officer Cronin was able to get Mr. Gulla to grab the rope and wrap it around himself.

'fhe two officers, Officer St. Jean now between Officer Cronin and the victim, began pulling Mr. Gulla out of the water. Mr. Gulla was partially out onto the ice, but slipped back in, pulling Officer St. Jean in with him and rolling Officer Cronin over onto his back. Meanwhile, Officer Calvin Metcalf, members of the fire department and neighbors had thrown another safety line out to Officer Cronin. As Officer Cronin grabbed for that line he also broke through the ice and went in the water.

Officer St. Jean, still on the spare tire, maneuvered himself around behind the victim and grabbed Mr. Gulla under the arms. Mr. Gulla was barely coherent and close to slipping under the water, Officer St. Jean said. (For Mr. Gulla's account of the rescue and a photo of the officers, see Perry Colmore’s column on page 34.)

With one rope in each hand, one to shore and one still wrapped around the victim, Officer Cronin yelled for those on shore to pull. Officer Cronin reached a small dinghy, with Officer Metcalf and Sgt. James

Hashem in it, just a couple of yards offshore and was soon standing in shallow water. He then helped the others pull Officer St. Jean and Mr. Gulla to safety.

Mr. Gulla, who not long ago had heart bypass surgery, was taken to Lawrence General Hospital where he was treated for hypothermia and released. The officers, including Officer Metcalf, were stripped of their wet clothing and wrapped in blankets and put in a waiting ambulance to warm up.

Officers St. Jean and Cronin said Tuesday they were sure Mr. Gulla was in trouble right away.

“When I got there, I figured that guy had three minutes,” Officer St. Jean said.

In all, Mr. Gulla was probably in the water close to 45 minutes, Officer St. Jean said, and he himself was already going numb while still in the water.

“I was losing all feeling in my arms from the elbows down,” Officer St. Jean said. “Trying to climb in the ambulance, my legs weren’t working at all.”

"I couldn’t move my hands,” Officer Cronin said.

But both men said they could “hear the cavalry coming,” referring to the sirens of the other rescue personnel.

“You have to do what you have to do when you get there at that time,” Officer St. Jean said. “It was quite an

an who fell through the ice on Haggetts Pond.

Officer Cronin cut his hands on the ice Saturday. All three officers had cuts and bruises from the ice.

The temperature was at or below freezing Saturday. Mr. Gulla liad walked onto a section of pond that had a tributary running through it, so it was not frozen. The water was 20 to 30 feet deep, Officer Cronin said. Old Mill Pond is connected by a small channel to Fosters Pond.

Oificer Cronin said the response time, from the time of the call until he reached the scene, was five minutes.

Officers Cronin, St. Jean and Metcalf will all receive commendations from the Board of Selectmen for their parts in the rescue, as will dispatcher Audrey Denis for her handling of the call.

(Continued from page 1)

Teachers have been without a contract since Aug. 31,1992.

Once a complete contract package has been agreed on, the contract will then have to be approved by the 300- plus members of the union.

Mary Lyman, a member of the School Committee and its negotiating team, told the Townsman last week that her subcommittee is “very encouraged and optimistic" that the agreement will be approved by the union. Ms. Lyman said she and other members of the School Committee will not comment on the agreement until the teachers’ union has approved or rejected the latest offer.

Betsy .Jankauskas, a member of the union’s bargaining team, said her group plans to meet this week to iron

out the non-economic terms that include curriculum and re-organization issues. The bargaining team will then bring the complete contract offer to the union for a vote.

“Depending on the work that gets done this week, we hope we could set a (union membership) meeting soon," she said.

Union meetings are usually held on Thursdays. The earliest date for a meeting where teachers could vote on an entire contract package would be next Thursday, Jan. 21, Ms. Jankauskas estimated.

She said the bargaining team believes the latest otter made by the School Committee is one that “needed to be brought back to the membership for a vote.”

Karen Sugarman makes cover of national magazine

A feminine and fanciful “young girl’s room,” designed by Karen Sugarman Interiors of Andover, will be the featured cover story of the spring issue of Better Homes and Garden’s Bedrooms and Bath Ideas magazine.

Ms. Sugarman and her associates designed the room for the spring 1991 Junior League of Boston decorator's showhouse and garden tour. Based on the fairy-tale theme, "The Princess and the Pea,” the room is a blend of function and fantasy. Ms. Sugarman says the focus of the room is a specially- designed lofty bed fitted with an eiderdown mattress and medieval tent-style canopy trimmed with 500 hand-painted beads.

Ms. Sugarman, who has been a professional mterior designer for 16 years, says she’s “thrilled” her fairy tale room caught the attention of the Better Homes & Gardens editors.

“We are delighted and honored to have been chosen for the cover,” she said. The magazine will be on newsstands Jan. 19.

Karen Sugarman Interiors is located at 185 North Mam St.

Bank of Boston

commits $2b for

area businessesBank of Boston Corporation has

announced that it will double The Bank of Boston Credit Initiative from the $3 billion target set on May 18 to $6 billion. The corporation also announced that it has already committed nearly $2 billion in new lending to New England businesses since the inception of the program. It was originally expected that die bank would reach the $3 billion mark within two years, but it has already achieved approximately two-thirds of that goal in just over half a year. The bank has a branch in Andover.

Ira Stepanian, chairman and chief executive officer, told a group of 500 business executives, “We announced the credit initiative in May to provide economic leadership for the region and to inject some needed optimism into the New England economy. At that time, we said that $3 billion was our target for the region and, if there was greater demand, we would do even more.

“In fact, the market’s response to our efforts has exceeded our greatest expectations. We have committed nearly $2 billion in new loans to 1,200 New England companies in just over half a year. With this experience as a guide, we know that there is a larger appetite for bank credit especially among smaller firms and, therefore, we are prepared to double our efforts to make an even greater difference for New England,” he said.

No Charge For Initial Consultation

THE TOWNSMAN, JANUARY 14, 1993 1 1

21 st cen. vision statement almost completeBy Don Staruk

After more than a year of meetings and discussions, selectmen are near adopting a vision and mission statement to lead Andover into the 21st century.

Selectmen read a couple of versions of the statements under final consideration and welcomed any last minute input on their proposals at their meeting last Monday night, Jan. 11. The selectmen scheduled a vote to adopt a statement at their next meeting, which will be held Monday, Jan. 25.

Board members held a number of mini town meetings at elementary schools in town last year to hear input from residents on what the town’s priorities should be for the next decade and next century.

The mission and vision statement is intended to serve as a sort of moral guideline for town officials and employees as they set their goals and work toward the future for the town.

Selectmen Gerald Silverman and Larry Larsen are the two board members in charge of completing the statement. Their latest version of the statement is as follows:

"The town of Andover, more than a place to live, is a way of life. Its legacy of democracy shall be preserved. Each citizen should experience the treasures of nature, history, individual respect, neighborhood and learning. As resources and energy allow, each of these gifts from the past will be enriched in the present for those yet to be. ”

Mr. Silverman explained that “democracy will be preserved” refers to the desire to keep the town meeting form of government. The “treasures” refer to the town’s heritage and natural environment,” and “as resources ... allow” means as funds are available.

Respect of the individual was probably the primary interest of people who offered input, Dr. Larsen said.

Selectman James Barenboim didn’t like the limitation inferred by the mention of resources.

Board members were asked to contribute their own ideas to the statement, and Selectman Bill Downs submitted his own version of a statement, which is as follows:

"That the town of Andover be governed in

‘The town of Andover, more than a place to live, is a way of life. ’

a fair and just manner; to preserve its history and heritage, to

protect individual rights and natural resources and to maintain government for the common good and in the best interest of the town of Andover. ”

The board will review and revise the proposed statements as they see fit before they vote on a final version in two weeks.

Your Dental

HEALTHby Richard D. Hopgood, D.M.D.

TOTALLY TUBULARAt first blush, it may seem fairly frivolous to celebrate the

100-year anniversary of the toothpaste tube. However, the importance of this packaging improvement can be seen in the fact that only the well-to-do could afford to brush their teeth prior to 1892. That is because toothpaste was only available in expensive porcelain jars over one hundred years ago. It was not until toothpaste landed in a tube that dental health care was widely available in the U. S. The consequence of toothpaste's lower cost and ease of dispensing has led to a substantial decrease in dental decay. One recent study shows that half of all children, between the ages of 5 and 17, in this country have no decay or missing teeth. Part of the credit for this record goes to the toothpaste

tube. . ,.Trial and error Is probably the best way to zero in on the

toothpaste that works (and tastes) best for you and all the members of your family. We'll be happy to make recommendations, but ultimately the final choice is yours. Since patient education is an important part of our practice, we're always ready to answer your questions about dental care. Call us at 475-2431 for an appointment Mon & Thur 10- 8, Tues & Fri 8-6. We are easy to find at 296 Lowell Street, Rt 133, with easy access off Rt 93. , „P.S. The toothpaste tube was invented by artist John Gone Rand in 1841, but did not come into practical use until 1892.

Editor's note: The following two poems were written by classmates of Ahn-Ahn Chen, a first-grade student who died last week with his parents in a bus crash while vacationing in Mexico, as reported in the Jan. 7 edition of the Townsman. The Chens’ obituaries are on page 28.

Two poems for Ahn-Ahn

It rained the day that Alin-Ahn died

Ahn-Ahn had an unusual nameWhose becoming a citizen gave him his fame

When we heard about him leaving We didn’t hide a tear The tears ran down the faces Of every single peer

We are strong and brave enough to cry We touch our tears and breathe a sigh To feel the storm that’s passing by Like a tall oak tree in a rainy sky

Ahn-Ahn talked from dawn to dawn He had two names and came from Taiwan He was a good friend who always smiled It’s not fair to die when you’re only a child

We are strong and brave enough to cry We touch our tears and breathe a sigh To feel the storm that's passing by Like a tall oak tree in a rainy sky

We never got to say good-byeHut as long as there are stars in the skyI'll remember him when I cryIt rained the day that Ahn-Ahn died

the music department of Bancroft Elementary School put on a holiday concert involving the entire student body and faculty on the afternoon of Wednesday, Dec. 23. Mrs. Sparagas led the students in Christmas and Hanukkah songs, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Stein.

Mrs. Stein directed and led the after

Don’t take it for granted!!!

Life is a gift,Don't take it for granted.For God put us here,Just like seeds that are planted.

Appreciate people while they arc still here, For when they have died,They are no longer near.

People will think,“Oh, they'll be here tomorrow.”But when they are gone,They retreat back to sorrow.

I have a dream To die peacefully.The way God intended,The way it was meant to be.

I have a dream,To understand why.Why God lias chosen,A child to die.

Forget all your work Forget all your money.Let's all join hands,And live in harmony.

Dedicated to Ahn-Ahn Chen and family

WHEN "MINGLES"BUY TOGETHER

Today it is quite common for friends to pool their resources to buy a larger home than either could afford alone. Some builders in Andover cater specifically to this group of buyers, even offering homes with two elaborate "master suites," instead of the more typical room arrangement that assumes Mom, Dad, and several children. If you're considering such a purchase, make certain that you and your friend set out clear agreements as to how you will share in the down payment, monthly mortgage payments, and how you will handle it if one wants to move out.Before committing yourselves

to a property, sit down with a real estate attorney and discuss the various options you will have. Should you take possession as joint tenants? Will you have a 50/50 interest in the property, or should it be adjusted to reflect disparities in the down payment or share of the mortgage payment? You and your buying partner should have very clearly communicated agreements with each other, then have your attorney get them down clearly in writing.

If you are considering a move, contact the professionals at Century 21 Minuteman Realty. Call us at 475-1243, or stop by our office at 2 Elm Square.

* * *The eighth-grade French class at Doherty

Middle School has finished a short study of the December-January holidays in France.

The students celebrated the Day of the Kings on Jan. 6. Students enjoyed a fete des Rois, or festival of the Kings. According to the French tradition, the revelers are served a large cake (la galette) in which a bean (la feve) has been baked. (In modern days, a 1- inch plastic figure of a king has replaced the traditional bean in most celebrations.) The person who gets the bean in his/her piece of cake is crowned king/queen for the festivities and chooses a consort. Then they rule the rest of the celebration together. The king and queen can tell people in their “court” to do silly things, which must be done or a consequence results. Whenever the king or queen drinks, everyone must stop what they are doing and give a toast, saying “Le Roi boit!" (“The King drinks!”) or “La Reine boit!" (“The Queen drinks!”).

The students had cupcakes instead of a galette, but a real plastic feve from France was placed inside one of the cupcakes. The students drank apple juice (instead of vin blanc, white wine) and grape juice (instead of vin rouge, red wine). Dana Sawyer of 21 Pinecrest Road found the feve in her cupcake and chose Brendan Murray of 2 Carmel Road as her consort. One of the silly things people had to do was sing action songs like the teapot song, alphabet song and “Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes,” etc. For about 10 minutes before the dismissal bell, the students read aloud a short comedy about a fete des Rois celebration at a doctor's home in France.

Course looks at how media views women Fax your news: 470-2819.

Images of Violence Against Women, Pornography and the Media will be the topic of a free lecture and slide

presentation Wednesday, Jan. 27, at West Elementary School.

The presentation is part of an inservice course, Gender Bias in Schools and Soci-

Gail Dines

ety, sponsored by the Andover School System. Dr. Gail Dines, a professor at Wheelock College in Boston, will examine the relationship between commercially produced images of violence against women and real- world violence.

Dr. Dines has appeared on national talk shows and her work has appeared in Time, Newsweek, The Boston Globe and USA Today. She will discuss the major themes found in mainstream media, including leading publications, television com

mercials and Hollywood movies. Also exapiined are the highly popular movies geared to the teen-age market that routinely sexualize and glorify violence against women.

Louise M. Rozzi, proposer of the Gender Bias course, highly recommends this presentation. The lecture starts at 3:30 p.m. in the school auditorium on Beacon Street. The program is free and open to the public. However, the images are graphic and are not appropriate for children. Individuals must be 18 to attend.

Roses.Sanborn’s student council consists of stu

dents from third through fifth grade who rotate every month and vote on activities and issues affecting Sanborn. One of their ideas was to help Bread and Roses with a thermal-sock drive.

Sanborn’s student council civic committee delivered the socks to Virginia Wilman, a volunteer at Bread and Roses, who gave the children a tour of the facility. Ms. Wilman explained Bread and Roses feeds more than 200 people a day for dinner, and that no one in need of food is turned away.

{If You Think An Accident Does A Number On Your Car,

Consider What It Can Do To Your Schedule.

ie bad news is, you're involved in a car accident. The good news is, it's not too serious. No one wants to find

themselves in this situation, but Shirley Boone did recently. So she drove herself to Walk In/Urgent Care at the

Winchester Hospital Family Medical Center in Wilmington. Knowing that all of the doctors at the Family Medical

Center are members of the Winchester Hospital staff, Shirley knew she was getting high quality care. She also

benefited from the fact that the Family Medical Center has added more physicians for primary care, and we’ve

completely renovated our facility for improved patient service. And since lab and radiology capabilities are all

on-site, Shirley didn’t have to make another trip. Or take up any more time. Which just goes to show that when

you know where to go, getting high quality care is no accident. Location: 500 Salem Street, Wilmington. Just off

ObituariesDr. SJ ChenEileen ChenAhn-Ahn ChenIn bus crash in Mexico

By Don StarukFuneral services were held yester

day, Wednesday, Jan. 13, at 9:30 a.m. at Cochran Chapel at Phillips Academy for the Chen family of Andover, killed Sunday, Jan. 3, when the tour bus they were in crashed and burned near Cancun, Mexico.

Sung J. “SJ” Chen, 53, his wife, Yu-Ling “Eileen” Chen, 45, and their son, Ahn-Ahn Chen, 6, all of 36 Algonquin Ave., were killed when the bus skidded off a rain-slicked road, slammed into a power pole and burst into flames 25 miles west of Cancun. The tour bus was en route to the Mayan ruins.

Relatives of the Chens flew to Mexico earlier this week and returned with the bodies of the three family members Tuesday night.

Ahn-Ahn was a student at Sanborn School and had become an American citizen in October.

Mr. Chen was a professor in the plastics engineering department at UMass Lowell. He was also president and part owner of Conprotec Inc., a manufacturer of plastic dispensing equipment for adhesives in Salem, N.II.

Mrs. Chen was a homemaker.The couple moved to Andover in

1970. The Chens were both from Taiwan and came to this country in 1964. They lived in the New England area prior to coming to Andover about 22 years ago. They were married for about 25 years.

“He was an excellent teacher, loved by the students,” said Professor Francis Lai, a colleague of Mr. Chen’s at UMass.

The Chens were active in H. Ross Perot’s presidential campaign last year.

Cathy Burnett, a parent volunteer who worked with Mrs. Chen at Sanborn Elementary School, said Mrs.

Ahn-Ahn Chen

Chen was very active in the school’s Harvest Festival this fall.

“She was a very heartwarming mother who was anxious to participate in her child’s school,” Ms. Burnett said.

“She was the kind of person who was always

doing something for someone,” said Lee Steen, a neighbor and close friend who lived next to the Chens since they built their Algonquin Avenue home 16 years ago. “She was just the best. Just the greatest neighbor. They just loved to go down to the Cape, Mashpee, where they had a home on the ocean.”

The Chens also owned rental property in North Andover.

Ahn-Ahn was adopted by the Chens from Taiwan six years ago. Barbara Jackson, of 35 Algonquin Ave., said last week that Ahn Ahn “loved life,” and took karate, swimming and piano lessons. He was an "enthusiastic and delightful child who will be sorely missed,” said Marjorie Recinos, Ahn-Ahn’s first-grade teacher at Sanborn. Ahn-Ahn was well liked by his classmates and “was everybody’s friend.”

Mr. Chen is survived by a brother and sister-in-law, Willis and Jane Chen, of 14 Blueberry Circle; two nephews, Kenneth and Gary Chen, of 14 Blueberry Circle; two sisters in Houston, Texas; one brother, and his parents, all of Los Angeles.

Mrs. Chen’s relatives include her parents, a sister, a niece and a nephew, all in Taiwan.

Friends and relatives were invited to the funeral service at Cochran Chapel yesterday. Cremation followed in Linwood Crematory, Haverhill. Arrangements were by the M.A. Burke Funeral Home, 390 North Main St., Andover. Contributions may be made to the Professor SJ Chen Scholarship Fund, c/o Dept. of Plastic Engineering, UMass Lowell,

Grand Jury allegedly scrutinizing Nicholas Rizzo of AndoverBy Lisa Boudreau

Nicholas A. Rizzo Jr., former chief fundraiser for Paul Tsongas’ presidential campaign, who is under investigation by the Federal Election Commission for campaign bookkeeping practices, is now allegedly being scrutinized by a Grand Jury investigation into the case.

Mr. Rizzo, of 30 Hemlock

Road, was unavailable for comment before Townsman presstime Wednesday.

Mr. Rizzo, who has been treated for cancer, was released from Lawrence General Hospital earlier this week after undergoing surgery for internal bleeding.

The Federal Election Commission is investigating

a $100,000 account Mr. Rizzo set up and from which he allegedly drew his campaign salary and expenses during a period of 18 months. In November, the Townsman reported Mr, Rizzo established the account in the spring of 1991 and he charged his fund-raising fees

The cause of court delays?(Conlinued from page I)

Superior Court cases in Essex County, said the average delay in criminal felony cases is more like 10 months to a year. Murder cases, like that of Thomas Maimoni, accused of killing a Salem woman and dumping her body off his sailboat outside Salem harbor in August of 1991 and who is still awaiting trial, average about a year before they get to court, according to Mr. White- head.

Mr. Mooers’ case has been in court 12 times since his arraignment on Jan. 6, 1992: for discovery motions, exchange of discovery materials, for a continuance when the prosecutor was busy on another case, for more motions, a status hearing, for trial assignment, which is now scheduled for later this month, for another continuance because a defense witness was unavailable, and the last time because the defense needed time to arrange testimony from an expert witness.

But even civil cases can be dragged out. An Andover couple, who prefer to remain anonymous for fear of prejudicing any judges or lawyers they may yet ran up against, have had 12 court dates since 1989 in their civil suit over a business deal, and no end is yet in sight.

The two main reasons for the current delays in Superior Court cases are an increased number of cases and not enough judges, according to Mr. White- head, who said there are currently 400 active defendants in Superior Court.

“That’s near our all-time high of active defendants,” he said.

Those cases are being handled by 12 assistant district attorneys, who he said can handle the work load, if they have judges to hear them.

“We have been operating essentially with one superior court trial judge for the last six months, and she has been doing exclusively murders,” Mr. Whitehead said.

That changed Jan. 1 when Judge Elizabeth B. Donovan, the new regional administrative judge for Essex County courts, made a change that has Superior Court cases now being held in both Lawrence and Salem instead of just in Salem. Judge Donovan also made judges individually responsible for cases start to finish, which should avoid the delays that result when new judges have to take time to review cases handed them in mid-process.

“We now have two trial judges who are overseeing both the trials and the routine day-to-day business,” Mr. Whitehead said.

The Maimoni murder trial will still tie up one judge full time, but Judge Patti Saris, who had been doing all the Essex County murder cases up until Jan. 1 but has since been transferred out of the county, is a third judge being brought in just to handle that case. That will leave judges John L. Murphy in Salem and Margo Botsford in Ixiwrence to handle all the other Superior Court cases.

‘We’d all be better off if we followed the rules. All of us in the system view the rules as a kind of guidebook, but not something which necessarily have to be followed.’

Mr. Whitehead said the changes should help.

“They’re designed to help and it is the belief of the court that it will help,” Mr. Whitehead said.

Those who work on the other side of the bench, as well as the prosecutors and judges, will just have to wait and see.

“We hope it will make a difference,” Mr. Whitehead said.

Justice delayedA court case in Massachusetts is

supposed to come to trial within one year of the arraignment date, according to Mr. Whitehead, but that obviously doesn’t always happen.

“There are rules built in to try to expedite the process, “ but as always, there are exceptions to every rale, Mr. Whitehead said.

The causes of delays seem to be more numerous and varied than charges against defendants.

“There’s so much preliminary action that takes place in a criminal case that neither side is ready before a year has passed,” Mr. Whitehead said.

Results of chemical tests can take five to six months to get back. DNA testing, ruled inadmissible a year ago but now again being considered admissible, can also take up to half a year.

Psychiatric exams, fingerprint work, fiber analysis and a myriad of other tests all delay the court process.

“It is absolutely true that justice delayed is justice denied,” Mr. White- head said.

The delays give no advantage to prosecutors, according to Mr. White- head. Witnesses’ memories fade, witnesses move or die.

“A delay is not something we seek. It's not in our interest to have a delay,” Mr. Whitehead said.

One defense attorney, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that, generally, defense attorneys are not anxious to have delays, but added that the defense can benefit from delays as tempers quiet down. A police officer who was initially very involved in a case will likely be anxious to be rid of it a year later, he said. Initial delays are often so that the defense attorney can get paid, while subsequent delays may be due to an overload of cases.

David Duncan, assistant Essex

County district attorney and prosecutor in Lt. Mooers’ case, would not comment specifically on the Mooers case, agreed that delays can help the defense.

“Most of the time it’s of no advantage to the defendant to rash a trial,” Mr. Duncan said.

Psychiatric testimony is currently one of the biggest delaying factors because of a recent precedent-setting case, Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. Stockhammer, according to Mr. Duncan. The courts now allow more victim’s records to be entered as evidence than were previously allowed, and this material may range from single sheet to boxes of files. Gathering and reading this material can take a lot of time, even if it is never used in court.

“A lot of attorneys these days feel that they have to protect themselves,” Mr. Duncan said.

This fear results in defense attorneys filing motions that the prosecution could agree on, just to be able to say they did it, he said.

“They cross t’s and dot i’s just for the sake of doing it,” Mr. Duncan said.

The “room lists,” established by Judge Donovan on Jan. 1, require all dates for a case be set at the time of arraignment, and makes a single judge responsible for the case. This change should provide motivation for judges to get cases through the process, Mr. Whitehead said.

“That’s actually the basic difference since Jan. 1,” - the judge staying with the case - Mr. Whitehead said.

The intent of the changes is to cut case times from one year to six months, according to Mr. Duncan.

“We’ll see if that happens,” he said.At a recent arraignment in

Lawrence Superior Court, a pretrial conference was set for Jan. 25 to be followed by hearings for defense motions on Feb. 1, opposition to defense motions on Feb. 15, Filing of motions to suppress evidence on April 15 and assignment of a trial date on May 5. Any discovery motions are to be scheduled in between the Feb. 15 and April 5 dates.

But the problem goes back to the number of judges available to hear cases, according to Mr. Duncan.

“If there’s not a judge available for a hearing, the system breaks down,” Mr. Duncan said.

Mr. Whitehead has one general recommendation on how the system could be speeded up.

“We’d all be better off if we followed the rales. All of us in the system view the rules as a kind of guidebook, but not something which necessarily have to be followed. And I mean everyone in the system has taken that view basically,” Mr. Whitehead said. “I think if we try and follow the rules, in so far as they establish time standards for disposing of cases, we’d all be better off.”

“I think it has a lot to do with personalities,” Mr. Duncan said. “And if people are willing to work together as teams.”

THE TOWNSMAN, JANUARY 14, 1993

Is the Weebus a good or a bad deal?(Continued from page 1)

think that is the case.“I doubt it,” Mr. Stapczynski said

last week. “That’s really one business I really don’t care to be in, as a town, is the transportation business."

Mr. Stapczynski said he thinks the town has a good deal with the MVRTA.

“The best around,” he said.

Joe Costanzo, director of the MVRTA, said it was Andover that first started the Weebus service back in 1979. Back then, Andover's Council on Aging, like most towns at the time, ran its own transportation service with vans usually donated by car dealerships, according to Mr. Costanzo. But dealerships stopped donating vans, old equipment broke down and as the need for increased services grew, cities and towns started looking at other options.

Andover was the first town to ask the MVRTA to take on providing the service to the elderly in late 1979, followed by Methuen in early 1980 and North Andover in mid 1980, and the Weebus was created.

“So Andover started the whole ball rolling actually,” Mr. Costanzo said.

The MVRTA has a contract with Big Boy Transportation of Lawrence to provide the Weebus and Dial-A-Ride services to Andover, North Andover and Methuen, using seven vehicles, both vans and minibuses. MVRTA buses provide the shuttle service and other regular commuter services.

If the town wants to take the service on itself, all it has to do is notify the MVRTA, Mr. Costanzo said.

1993

“If someone thinks they’ve got a better mousetrap, it really comes down to a town decision,” Mr. Costanzo said.

What does it cost?The town is assessed an annual fee

for costs of MVRTA services and the assessment cannot be increased by more than 2.5 percent in one year, according to Laura Hill, town planner and Andover’s liaison with the MVRTA.

“The assessment for our rates is based on revenue miles," Ms. Hill said last week.

The total cost of MVRTA service, which covers Andover, North Andover, Methuen, Lawrence, Haverhill, Amesbury and Newburyport, for fiscal 1992, which ended June 30, 1992, was $6,211,623, according to Mr. Costanzo.

Total revenue was $1,901,170, leaving a net cost of $4,310,453. The federal government kicked in $412,299 and the state paid $2,935,317, leaving a local tab of $962,837. Andover’s share of that local tab was $104,580.

Andover’s share included $78,084 for the fixed MVRTA routes, $13,999 for

special services, such as the shuttle, Weebus and Dial-A-Ride.

Andover's share of general administration costs were $3,967, or 3.7 percent of the total, interest expense was $5,730, and a long-term bond payment was $2,800, both 8.2 percent of the total. Services offered

In addition to its regular commuter services, the MVRTA provides the Weebus and Dial-A-Ride services for the elderly and handicapped in Andover.

The Weebus is lift-equipped curb-to- curb transportation for elderly and disabled residents for any trip within the Greater Lawrence area. A fare is charged depending on the destination of the trip.

Sendee is available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Service is not available on weekends.

Dial-A-Ride is lift-equipped, door-to- door transportation for disabled residents for any trip within or outside of greater Lawrence.

Service is available in Andover

Monday through Friday, 7 a.m-7 p.m. Weekend and holiday service is available subject to availability and only by appointment or with 24-hour advance registration.

A fare and mileage charge is applied depending on the destination of the trip. Both services are subsidized to make the fares more affordable for users.

Routes offeredRoutes 21 and 22 are shuttle services

between Andover center and Shawsheen and Ballardvale respectively.

Route 31 services River Road and Route 32 comes to downtown Andover, both returning to the Intown Mall in Lawrence. The MVRTA also provides a special bus for employees of the Internal Revenue Service and Raytheon Co. to downtown Lawrence.

The MVRTA has also recently begun providing service between the Reading commuter rail station and Andover to provide a link for gaps in the train service, according to Ms. Hill.

Ridership numbersThe total number of Weebus trips in

fiscal year 1992 was 16,592, up from 13,164 in fiscal '91. Dial-A-Ride trips totaled 1,121 in FY '92, compared to 563 in FY '91.

In fiscal '92, Route 21 provided service to 54,850 passengers, up from 54,124 in FY '91. Route 22 served 20,419, up from 19,261. Both routes are totally within Andover.

Route 31 served a total of 42,651 riders, up from 36,530; and Route 32 gave rides to 48,805 in FY '91, up from 47,599. All figures are according to MVRTA officials.Fares for the trips

Routes 21, to Shawsheen Square,- and 22, which services Ballardvale, are free.

Otherwise, fares are regularly 75 cents, with 35 cent fares available for seniors, disabled persons and students. Children under five are allowed to ride free with an adult.

Discount passes and tickets are also available.

Consideredrunning?

Feb. 1 is the deadline to return nomination papers to run in the March Annual Town Election. This year there is one seat on the School Committee that needs filling. Incumbent Christopher Outwin is not running, so those of you who say you’ll run if it isn’t against an incumbent, here’s your chance.

In addition, if you would like to see a change in the town moderator, that one-year position is open. Every year John Doyle and incumbent

' James Doherty run for the moderator seat.

Selectman Bill Downs’ three-year term is expiring and he is running again. To date, he has no challenger. The other position expiring with this election is a five-year post on the Housing Authority, currently held by M.J. Powell.

There’s plenty of work and more than enough controversy to make these positions challenging. Every resident owes some volunteer time to his or her community. So just do Ft: Run for a town-government position.

Good for the fire department

Congratulations to the Andover Fire Department and to Chief Harold Hayes for having the foresight to commission a survey of the department’s clients.

Last year the department sent surveys to anyone who received service from September 1991 to February 1992 to determine the fire department’s level of service.

It is not surprising that this group received high marks, being a department that is not afraid to invite comments. It’s sometimes difficult to hear criticism when you are doing your best to meet the needs of the public. A couple of respondents complained about soot on the rug or firefighters chipping a door. But 41 percent of the surveys mailed to ambulance users and 55 percent of surveys mailed to those serviced by the fire department responded. That’s a very high response and an indication residents care, as does the department.


Andover patrolmen Bob Cronin, left, and Dave St. Jean point out the spot where Andover resident Ernest Gulla fell through the ice while walking on Fosters Pond Saturday. The victim figures he might have died had it not been for the officers’ quick and smart response.

Pay attention to Ernest Guild's storyBy Perry Colmore

Ernest “Ernie” Gulla fell through the ice at Fosters Pond last Saturday and lived to tell about it.Today he says,“Had it not been for the speed and proficiencyof the boys in blue, I think I could very well have died, have drowned, because the cold was getting to me and I would have lost my energy and my strength. Once I saw those guys, I thought I was saved.”

Here’s his story, which he was kind enough to share because he hopes others will stand warned about ice that can be deceiving.

Mr. Gulla is 55 years old. Three years ago he had open-heart surgery and he has gotten into the healthy habit of walking. A resident of 443 South Main St., Mr. Gulla lives right up the street from the Goldsmith Reservation.

“Last year I must have walked the pond six to eight times because the trails get a little icy,” Mr. Gulla

said Monday, and he added that he thought it was safer walking on the pond than on the streets. In addition, Saturday afternoon there were skaters on the pond, so he thought he would be safe.

He was wrong.He went out about 3 p.m., walked

the main road, saw skaters on the pond, tested the ice and then walked “the whole pond.”

Last week he’d seen some people ice fishing on the pond. “I figured it was safe.”

Dusk was settling in, he said. So he decided to call it a day.

That’s when he heard the ice crack. It must have been around 4:45 by then, he figures. He was near the beach at Fosters Pond, where the gazebo is located.

“I heard the ice crack. I backed up. I fell in.”

He’d been playing music on his Walkman - Sons of Pioneers tape - but he’d flipped around trying to hear the score of the ’49ers game.

“I’d lost my sun, my light,” he said.

Had it been 15 or 20 minutes earlier, Mr. Gulla figures he would have seen how thin the ice was. The next morning, after the accident, he and Paul Guerard, the warden of the Goldsmith Reservation, went down to survey the site of Mr.

Gulla’s accident and they saw that the water was running at that spot and that It never does freeze there.

“There was also an excavation at one time there, for sand and gravel,” he said.

So what is it like when you fall through the ice? I pushed for an answer, not able to wait any longer.

"It just happened so fast,” answered Mr. Gulla, who sounds like a calm sort of a person. “The First thing you feel is extreme cold

7 heard the ice crack. I backed up. I fell in.’

Ernest Gulla

from the water. The second: You realize there’s no bottom.”

From 1960 to ’65, Mr. Gulla served in the Navy, two years on the West Coast off a ship and three off a ship in Japan and Hong Kong.

“Even though that was 30 years ago, my training kicked in,” said a grateful Mr. Gulla.

Her side of the

music issueEditor, Townsman:

Lest we leave townspeople with the impression that the music vending merchants were totally insensitive to our pleas for silence, we would like to add the following thoughts. They did turn the music down on several occasions and even turned it otf completely a few evenings, for which we were most grateful; moreover, Mr. Quinn was always gracious on each occasion that we complained.

What was most unfortunate during the pre-Christmas days was that one of us was home sick for seven days. Having to listen to the “Little Drummer Boy" and numerous other songs 32 times a day or more was, to say the least, excessive.

In conclusion, we, too, would like to thank everyone who called, wrote or spoke to us on the street to sympathize - and they didn’t even live anywhere near the speakers. We would also like to extend an open invitation to all those people who thought the music was too low to visit us the next time there is music broadcast downtown. I am reasonably certain it would not take too many minutes of sitting in our living room for them to change their tune.

Speaking up

for nanniesEditor, Townsman:

I’m writing to compliment you on your nice article about Val Tobler, the nanny from Nebraska written up in the Jan. 7 issue. She is an excellent example of the many wonderful young women (plus a few men) now working as nannies in Andover. I love to see these fine young people receive credit for what they do. They make enormous contributions to our community, for

Mr. Gulla tells us to watch out for thin ice on ponds(Continued (tom page 341

First, his training told him not to panic. Warden Guerard later remarked how calm Mr. Gulla remained through his ordeal.

Mr. Guerard’s wife was in her backyard when Mr. Gulla fell though and the victim saw her so he yelled for help. She let him know help was on the way. He concentrated on staying atloat. He put one arm and one leg up on the ice. The weight of Mr. Gulla’s body and clothing kept breaking down the ice. 1 le had on a heavy coat, sweat pants, a sweat shirt and heavy hiking shoes.

which we should all be grateful.A case in point is my own family’s

nanny, Amy LaRowe of Columbus, Ohio. After 2 1/2 years with us, Amy has become so much a part of our family that she seems more like my sister than an employee.

'fhe children love her dearly. At 25, she is a dedicated child-care professional. She is gifted and intelligent (even belonging to MENSA) and uses her talents to enrich the children’s lives in many ways. But her service here goes far beyond what she does for our individual family. She teaches CCD at St. Augustine’s, tutors GED candidates through the Adult Education Center in Lawrence, helps at Bal- lardvale Preschool, and serves as “room nanny” for my fourth-grade daughter’s class. Other nannies make similar contributions. For example, one Midwestern nanny recently directed the Sunday School Christmas pageant at Faith Lutheran Church.

Nannies as a group have received a lot of bad press lately, including the completely unwarranted aspersions cast by the movie The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. They must frequently contend with people who fail to take them seriously, or even treat them with disrespect, because they are “merely” nannies and not parents. And horror stories about awful nannies are continually circulated as gossip.

All of this is very unfair to the many nannies who not only do a great job of caring for their charges, but use their time and talents to benefit the community as a whole. So thank you for presenting such a positive picture of a local nanny and for giving me the opportunity to speak up for nannies in general. Happy New Year!

Standing up for her momEditor, Townsman:

Macartney’s is gone now. A part ofAndover is no more. It was a sad time for a lot of people but especially for those who worked there together for so

“I tried to lie still. 1 knew my heavy coat would take me down if I panicked. 1 tried to lie down on the ice.

"I think another 20 minutes in the water and I would have been a serious problem. 1 could feel hypothermia setting in. It is a little bit like you are losing your energy.”

Had he not known that help was on its way, Mr. Gulla said he probably would have tried to break his way through the ice.

Andover patrolmen Robert Cronin, David St. Jean and Cal Metcalf arrived

long.I should know, my mother, Jean

Hughes, was one of them. Mom related a story to me that happened on the last day the store was open. It upset me when I first heard it and I particularly felt bad for my mother and others in the store who had to endure one final humiliation at the hands of one extremely insensitive woman who obviously was not a regular customer of Macartney’s. I was going to let the incident go without another thought until last night when 1 related the story to my husband. I had to stop half way through the story because I had started to cry. It occurred to me at that moment that I was very angry by what happened and I couldn’t just let it die without letting others, specifically loyal and long-time customers/friends, know of the “injustice” that occurred on Jan. 2.

A woman who had been by earlier in the week inquiring about a merchandise return came into the store on Saturday to return a shirt purchased for her husband. She had been informed during her earlier visit that she was more than welcomed to come back and “exchange the shirt for any merchandise left in the store.” This woman wanted her money back. She became very indignant when told, by several people, that since the store was closing, she would only be able to exchange her merchandise. This woman proceeded to verbally abuse the employees of Macartney’s by telling them that “you all deserved to be out of business. Everyone of you deserve what’s happening to you.”

She then headed over to the tie rack where several men were trying to make their selections. The woman continued her tirade announcing to all within ear shot - "No wonder you’re going out of business. AH you have here is crap. Now I know why my husband never came into this store. All you sell here is crap.”

Luckily, one of the men at the rack turned to her and ever so politely said, “Would you please shut up?” She exchanged her shirt for some ties and mercifully left the store. Unfortunately, the damage had been done. My mother told me she had been in tears

first. They were on the last few minutes of duty when the call came in. One of the officers grabbed Mr. Gulla’s coat, holding him up out of the water. Another threw him a rope. When they got him out of the pond, they stripped oil' his clothes “down to my birthday suit,” and covered him with an aluminum blanket. Police estimate Mr. Gulla was in the water 15-25 minutes.

Mr. Gulla said the parts of his body that were out of the water were colder than the parts in the water.

They took him to Lawrence General

most of the day to begin with but this woman just put the icing on the cake so to speak. I told her she just should have told the woman otT.

But for those of you who have been going into Macartney’s for some 30 odd years know that just wouldn't, couldn’t happen. Even on the last day these people remained true to their unspoken oath that the customer is always right no matter what. In my opinion, this time the customer was definitely wrong.

My main purpose in writing this is to remind the employees of Macartney’s and especially my mother, that the majority of your customers appreciated you in more ways than can ever be listed here. A lot of them started as customers and became good friends. There will always be that one person who can make a sunny day seem like a dreary day. But more often than not, there are those people who can turn a dreary day into a bright, sunshiny one. Those are the people and the days you should remember. Thank you all for being who you are and thank you for the past 30 odd years. You will be missed.

An unsuitable school siteEditor, Townsman:

At the School Building Committee meeting on Jan. 7 many concerns were raised about the proposal to build an elementary school in the upper Shawsheen field. As someone who grew up in the Shawsheen area and is now raising my own family here, I am very concerned with this proposal. This is a great family neighborhood, the streets are safe for children and it is quiet and peaceful. 1 am concerned that this proposed school could change the character of this wonderful historic area. Shawsheen Village is on the National Register for Historic Places and would hopefully be respected and preserved

Hospital where he stayed about two hours, being treated for what they called “mild hypothermia.”

Today, Mr. Gulla would like to string some fluorescent markers between the two rafts where he fell in, to warn others that the ice doesn’t freeze over in that spot.

Today, Mr. Gulla said he will avoid walking in that spot.

Today, Mr. Gulla said he never thought he would die. But he admits, "I thought maybe I’d freeze.”

____ ___________Recycling ______You should be down to one trash bag a weekBy Virginia Cole

Now that you have all received your 1993 blue recycling calendar (and if not, pick one up at the water treatment plant on Lowell Street), you know which are your weeks for recycling. Hopefully, you know just what you can recycle curbside - glass and paper.

The materials that cannot be put into the rubbish are spelled out. For most of the things that don't go into the rubbish, Andover has found a way of recycling. Leaves can be composted at the compost site on High Plain Road.

All aluminum materials and metal cans should be taken to the drop off trucks at the West Middle School parking lot on Shawsheen Road on the third Saturday of each month (this one).

Hours are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.Please be reminded that metal cans

(called by most of us tin cans) are now banned from the rubbish. They should be flattened if possible, cleaned and kept separately from the plastic and delivered to the recycling drop-off. If the cans have molded bottoms that are not easily removed, they will be accepted without flattening. Plastics (No. 1 and No. 2 only) should go to this site too.

Glass, newspapers and magazines are put in the blue bin curbside every other week. And the new item is rechargeable batteries. These go in a zip lock plastic bag next to your recycling bin, curbside. Button batteries

may go in this bag, too, or you may continue to take them to the places listed in the calendar as has been done for the past year.

Rechargeable batteries are found in power tools, radios, toys, camcorders, cellular phones and lap-top computers. The more common flashlight battery has no value recycled for Andover at this time. Rechargeable batteries contain nickel and cadmium as do the button batteries, which have been collected for a year. The aim is to get these hazardous metals out of the waste stream and the incinerator. The materials do have value for reuse too, and can be sold. Andover’s pilot project is similar to others across the country. Our used batteries will be sold. This

program has been initiated with no cost to the town. Waste Management, the recycling contractor, has agreed to this pick-up with no extra cost. INMERCO, a recycler of batteries, has provided money for education of the public about the dangers of the metals in the waste stream.

The recycling committee urges everyone to recycle curbside, paper, glass and batteries and to come to the drop-off trucks on Jan. 16 (see the circle on your recycling calendar around the date) with your aluminum, tin cans and plastic. Save your 1993 calendar in a place where you can check it easily. Almost everyone should be down to one trash bag per week by now.

LettersAn unsuitable school site Letters are due at the Townsman by Monday at 5 p.m.


by the town. Anyone who has read Mills, Mansions and Mergers by Edward G. Roddy will surely understand my sentiment.

There are many issues to be considered with this proposal. There are safety issues with the train (complete with switches) directly above the proposed school building, the river behind the site and the very narrow horn bridge.

If this school is built, the horn bridge would most likely need to be altered and at what cost? Children will walk through this bridge inevitably, even if they are supposedly bused to and from school.

There is the issue of traffic on York Street, Burnham Road and even Argyle Street. Burnham Road is narrow, has a dangerous intersection at Enmore Street, has few sidewalks and was not built for heavy traffic, what will upgrading all this cost the town?

The upper field has only eight acres, barely enough for a school and this school could probably never be added on to.

As wonderful as other recent development in this area of town has been (Brickstone Square, Penguin Park, the Balmoral condominiums), it has already affected this neighborhood in terms of traffic and noise. It I‘ » A.’i . ‘ ‘

‘There are safety issues with the train (complete with switches) directly above the proposed school building, the river behind the site and the very narrow horn bridge. If this school is built, the horn bridge would most likely need to be altered and at what cost?9

would be great to have my children walk to this new school, but it would be naive to think that this school would not change this neighborhood dramatically. I hope that Andover will not sacrifice this historic area to build a school on a site with so many negatives.

There are solutions to some of these problems but none would convince me that this proposed school would be a benefit to our neighborhood. Why not reconsider other options very carefully before we forever change Shawsheen Village?

Parking permits proposedBy Don Staruk

Members of the Central Business District Committee asked the selectmen Monday to make a year-round permit parking program available to employees of the downtown. The board scheduled a vote on the proposal for its next meeting on Monday, Jan. 25.

The proposal comes in the wake of the trial permit program held in December that committee members said was a complete success.

The intent of the permit program is to free up parking spaces in front of, or closer to, stores by moving employees’ cars to more remote spaces in municipal lots.

Thirty-eight of the 50 permits made available in December sold for $10 each with no advance notice or publicity. The permits allowed all-day parking in the two municipal lots, at Park Street Village and Olde Andover Village, 25 spaces in each.

The program brought “extremely positive” responses from merchants and employees who took advantage of it, according to Len Wilson, chairman of the CBDC. The only problem at all was when wind blew some of

the hoods off the meters at the designated spaces and other persons parked in what were supposed to be the permit spots.

A survey of 95 percent of participants showed that a slightly higher monthly fee would be acceptable. Fifty percent of participants had fed meters in the past, instead of moving after the time ran out, and the other 50 percent had used long-term parking spaces or moved their cars every couple hours .

The CBDC proposal recommends offering the same 50 spaces at the start, hoping to eventually have 100-150. They would be available only to employees who work in the downtown on a first-come basis, with a review after one year.

The permits would cost $15 a month with a three-month minimum purchase. Motorists would get a half month free if they purchased six months at a time and a full month free for a year permit.

Mr. Wilson said the difference in revenues between what the permit program would produce and what the meters would otherwise produce is not significant.

In some scenarios, it could

mean revenues could actually increase. Committee members did not attempt to predict how the program would affect revenues from parking tickets.

Sean Quinn, chairman of the Andover Center Association, spoke to the board in support of the program, as did Enzo Fossella, owner of Enzo’s of Andover and past president of the Andover Chamber of Commerce.

Laura Hill, town planner, said the Plan-


ning Board also supports the program.“We fully support the idea of a one-year

program,” Ms. Hill said.Selectman Larry Larsen feared the pro

gram might be taken advantage of by a downtown employee giving a permit to someone who parks here and commutes by bus or train into Boston. Mr. Wilson said tamper-proof stickers are available and could be used for the program.

Afro-American art by William H, Johnson comes to PA's Addison Gallery

The Addison Gallery of American Art is honored has been chosen the only New England venue for the

Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American Art exhibition “Homecoming: William H. Johnson and Afro- America, 1938-1946", which is on a national tour. Art In America says: “This exhibition is a powerful testament to Johnson’s tenacity of vision in the face of almost overwhelming odds. Johnson adds a vital thread to the tapestry of American modernism before and during World War II.” Newsweek calls it an "essential show .... the most poignant of the fall’s diverse array of solo shows.” The Washington Post calls the show “breath taking.”

William H. Johnson (1901- 1970) was one of America’s most original African-American painters. Born in Florence, S.C., he trained at New York's National Academy of Design in the ’20s and sojourned as an expatriate painter in Europe during the '30s.

In 1938 Mr. Johnson returned to New York, where he began to probe black experience, drawing for his imagery on life in the rural south of his

youth and the upbeat ambience of Harlem during the late-1930s and 1940s. “Homecoming: William H. Johnson and Afro- America, 1938-1946” brings together for the first time the canvases in which Mr. Johnson explored his southern black heritage and works in which he reveals the artistic, political and cultural accomplishments of black Americans from the late 1930s to the end of WW II. His work is a testament to the far-ranging influence of African-American cultural values on American modernism.

This Addison Gallery presentation is supported by Mr. and Mrs. D. Michael Winton and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

A comprehensive educational outreach program for Greater Lawrence and Boston public schools, conducted by Andrea Myers, the Addison’s educational outreach coordinator, provides related videotapes, teacher guides, student workbooks and catalogues, plus transportation from Boston area schools, has been supported by Fleet Bank of Massachusetts, The Greater Boston Chapter of Links, Inc., and Mr. and Mrs. D. Michael Winton.

team, fresh off its impressive victory over New Bedford, found the going a bit rougher than expected against a pair of Merrimack Valley Conference have-nots trying to make a name for themselves by bumping off the Golden Warriors.

Coach Dave Fazio’s crew outlasted Billerica, 78-69, and snuck past Dracut, 46-42, to improve to 7-1 overall and remain tied for first place in the Merrimack Valley Conference Large School Division with a perfect 4-0 mark.

"Billerica and Dracut never quit," said Coach Fazio, who spent two years at the Middies’ helm before coming to Andover. “They’re tough teams with tough kids who battle you for 32 minutes every game.

“It would have made their season to beat us. They had nothing to lose, and we just don't have that killer instinct yet. We played well enough to win, but we didn't put either opponent away.

“I’m happy to get both of those away

games out of the way. Billerica and Dracut have always been two tough places to play”

Things are scheduled to become progressively harder, beginning this week. The Golden Warriors hosted Chelmsford (Tuesday), and will entertain pesky Tewksbury tomorrow night at the Dunn Gymnasium (7:45 p.m.).

Always-interesting Lowell High will be in town next 'I'uesday night.

'...We just don’t have that killer instinct yet. We played well enough to win, but we didn’t put either opponent away. ’

Mike Roberts continues to lead the Andover scoring parade with 169 points (21.1 average), while Eric Danis has 111 points (13.9).

The Warriors suffered through their first injury absence of the year when outstanding junior guard Kirk Stock- wood went down with an .ankle sprain in the first half of the Billerica game, missing most of that contest and the entire Dracut game.He was expected back this week, however.Andover, 78-69

"We played well in spurts against Billerica,” said Coach Fazio. “We went ahead early but kept letting them back into the game. We’d go up by 10 but could never get it to 20. With three minutes left they cut the lead to four points, but we pulled away down the stretch.”

Mike Roberts’s free throw shooting, 13-of-15 for the game, was instrumental in the closing minutes.

Roberts finished with 28 points and nine assists, sophomore Eric Danis hit 19 points and pulled down seven rebounds, Tri-Captain Dave Gardner

Girls' ski team wins opener

The Andover High girls’ ski team clinched its first victory of the 1993 season by beating Methuen 80-55 in the North Shore League dual meet opener at Bradford Hill.

Freshman Jen Prudden led the Lady Warriors with a second place finish and clocking of 21.88.

The Andover squad looks promising with excellent team strength from returning lettermen Kirsten Nowell, Colleen Sherry, Christine Durant, Emily Winters and Co-Captains Missy Botch and Sarah Witham.

Newcomers Jen Prudden, Jen Schapira, Tara Natella, Amanda Grasso, Ashley Nowell and exchange student Marion l/igeay add depth to the team as they seek to race strong against rivals North Andover and Masconomet Regional.

Kirsten Nowell was fourth in the varsity race against Methuen (22.27), Emily Winters sixth (23.05), Colleen Sherry eighth (23.36), Amanda Grasso ninth (23.37), Christine Durant 10th (23.44), Ashley Nowell 11th (23.59), Jen Schapira 12th (23.65), Tara Natella 13th (23.81) and Sarah Witham 15th (24.04).

The Andover JVs also beat Methuen behind strong efforts from Carolyn Hines, Danielle Rizzo, Ali Bicknell and Amy Struhe.

Hines won the race in 25.01, Rizzo was second (25.08), Bicknell third (25.11), Strube fourth (25.29), Danielle Spires fifth (25.86), Amanda Nichols sixth (26.01), Amy Baggeroer seventh (26.41), Nicole Beauregard ninth (27.93) and Amy Parziale 10th (28.95).

Girls' gymnastics team drops close decision to Dracut' By Rick Harrison

In a season-opening dual meet that will probably end up deciding the Merrimack Valley Conference regular season championship, the Andover High girls' gymnastics team dropped a close 128.10 to 126.85 decision to perennial power Dracut.

Because no other MVC teams are approaching the scores achieved in this meet, it is doubtful either Dracut or Andover will lose again if both stay healthy.

The loss snapped a two-season, 10-meet win streak for Coach Julie Curtis’s Lady Warriors, who broke Dracut’s nine-year stranglehold on the MVC by winning the

— title last winter.“This meet was probably for the title,”

confirmed Coach Curtis. “I’m not disappointed with our performances at all. It wasn’t bad for a season opener, but unfortunately for us Dracut already had a couple of meets under its belt and was more relaxed.

“We had some first-night jitters. I think we have more depth than Dracut, but their top two gymnasts (Missy Perritano and Ste- fany Nida) are really strong.”

Perritano finished first in three of the four events (uneven bars, vaulting and floor exercise), Nida won the balance beam competition, and the pair placed 1-2 all-around with Perritano at 35.65 and Nida at 34.60.

., "This (loss) probably means we won’t have a free ride (as MVC champs) to the North Sectional Meet,” explained Coach Curtis. “But if we can get our (average) score up a few more points I think we’ll have no trouble qualifying.”Vaulting key

Coach Curtis pointed to the vaulting competition as the key to the Dracut meet.

"This is the first time in my five years at• Andover we’ve lost the vaulting,” she noted.

"We even won the event at the State Meet last spring. One of the Dracut scores was outrageously high, but those are the judges’ decisions and I know they’re doing the best they can.”

Andover’s top finish of the night was turned in by sophomore Irene Shui, who was second to Perritano in vaulting with a personal-best 8.45 score.

Shui also placed third in Boor with an 8.6 and tied for fourth on beam with a 7.9.

Senior Captain Anne Milmoe was Andover's lone all-around performer, and she came through with a personal best 32.20 score (previous high 31.05) to finish third behind the Middies' Perritano-Nida tandem.

Anne tied for third on beam with an 8.45, placed fourth in vaulting (8.00) and floor (8.45), and was fifth on bars (7.30).

Freshman Missy Famiglietti's varsity debut was auspicious as she took third on bars (7.70) and fifth in floor exercise (8.30).

Sophomore Eveline Yang was fourth on bars (7.45) and sixth in vaulting (7.75).

Junior Stacy Thresher made an impressive debut on the balance beam, tying Anne Milmoe for third place with an 8.45 score her first time up in competition.

Senior Captain Amanda Schaake was fifth in vaulting (7.85), sophomore Sara Weir sixth in lloor exercise (8.25), and other strong routines came from junior Kerry Brady in floor (personal-best 8.00) and junior Marcy Ruda on beam (personal-best 6.95).Lutsch competes

Sophomore Marcie Lutsch, last season’s nearly-unbeabible freshman sensation now severely hampered by a recurring back injury, competed on balance beam and tied Irene Shui for fourth place with a 7.90.

"I didn’t expect Marcie to compete

against Dracut,” said Coach Curtis. “But she has the doctor's okay for high school meets, and she experienced no pain. Her beam routine is watered down, but her ability is so outstanding and her moves so precise that she can score high even with a lesser degree of dilliculty.

“We'll spot Marcie in and out of the lineup this season depending on how she feels.

Boys beat Boston EnglishBy Rick Harrison

Sophomore Bob Ellis won three individual events and the all-around title in a season-opening Andover High boys gymnastic team romp over Boston English, while Ellis and sophomore Nick Zammuto were top performers in a tri-meet split with powerful Braintree and Newton South.

'Hie Golden Warriors belted comeback- ing Boston English, 94.5 to 56.6, in the dual meet lidlifier and then bowed to Braintree, 116.2 to 94.3, and beat Newton South, 94.3 to 85.4, in a subsequent tri-meet at Braintree.

Andover (2 10), having already matched last year’s win total, returned to the apparatus yesterday with a tri-meet against Burlington and host Revere High.

Tomorrow afternoon Coach Steve Sirois’s squad is scheduled to host Attleboro at the Dunn Gymnasium (3:30 p.m.). Andover-English

Bob Ellis started the season fast with first place finishes in floor exercise (6.4), vaulting (8.0), high bar (4.2) and the all- around competition.

Other Andover individual event winners were senior Co-Captain Andy DeBonedictis on the pommel horse (4.8),

She won't do any vaulting but the other three events are all possibilities," said Coach Curtis.

Junior Rich Green took second on rings, while additional third places went to junior Scott Gray on high bar and Fenton on rings.Tri-Meet split

The Golden Warriors managed a pair of second place finishes against Braintree, the most impressive an 8.6 by Nick Zam- muto in vaulting.

Scott Nicholson, who scored on the rings in the State Meet last year, was second in his specialty.

Third place finishes were taken by Bob Ellis and Jell’ Arsenault, who tied in floor exercise, junior Joe Shea on pommel horse and Rich Green on rings.

Scott Gray was fourth on parallel bars, Ellis fifth on high bar, and Ellis chalked up a 28.60 all-around score for fourth place.

ball team capped a busy three-game, three-victory week with a rousing come-from-behind 49-41 triumph over non-league archrival North Andover at the NA Field House.

Prior to that the Lady Warriors, who recorded the week’s sweep on the road, stopped Billerica 62-38 at Billerica and Dracut 52-27 at Dracut.

In all three games Coacli George Sullivan’s squad came through with solid second-half performances to key the win.

Andover started this week with a 6-2 overall record and a five-game win streak.

The locals are 31 in the Large School Division of the Merrimack Valley Conference, third place behind defending State Division 1 champ Haverhill (4-0) and Lowell (2- 0).

AHS, which has eight of its next nine games in the friendly confines of the Dunn Gymnasium, hosted Chelmsford (4-4) earlier this week and entertains Tewksbury (3-5) tomoorw night at 6 p.m.

Key showdowns are scheduled next week against Lowell (home, Tuesday) and Methuen (away, Fru- day).

Kerry Hagerty continues to lead the team in scoring with 137 points (17.1 average).

Andover, 62-38The Lady Warriors pulled out to a

32-20 halftime lead against Billerica, and nearly duplicated that with a 30- 18 second half advantage.

“We really weren’t sharp in the first half,” said Coach Sullivan. “In the second half we used our zone trap to get the fast break going, and we were able to control the tempo of the game better.”

Co-Captains Kerry Hagerty and

In all three games Coach George Sullivan’s squad came through with solid second-half performances to key the win.

Lindsey Sweeney paced the offense, senior forward Hagerty pouring through a game-high 20 points and senior point-guard Sweeney adding 15 including a trio of three-point bombs.

Senior center Beth Everett tossed in eight points, sophomore forward Leah Mason five, senior forward Amy Cassidy four, junior guard Rachel Buonopane four, senior forward Marcia Gemmell two, sophomore forward Kim Daher two and senior guard Tara Griffin a pair of free throws.Andover, 56-27

A pair of baskets by Tara Griffin, who finished with a season-high 11 points, in the closing 20 seconds of the first half enabled Andover to open a seven-point 22-15 lead over stubborn Dracut (2-4) at the break.

"The first half was a lot closer than even the score indicates,” said Coach Sullivan. “We just couldn’t get our offense in gear. We were playing good denial defense, holding them to 15 points, but we couldn’t do anything right on offense.

"In the second half we used the zone trap and press effectively once again, pulling away by outscoring them 34-12 even though the first team rested for about seven (of the 16) minutes.”

Kerry Hagerty still managed a game-high 13 points, eight steals and six rebounds, while Griffin added 11

points and five steals.Lindsey Sweeney contributed eight points and

seven steals, Leah Mason six points and four rebounds, Amy Cassidy five points and five steals, Marcia Gemmell three points and six rebounds, freshman guard Vanessa Blank three points, Rachel Buonopane three points and Erinne Sullivan two points, five boards.

Beth Everett had four rebounds and played a strong all-around game.

Dracut did not have a player in double figures. Andover, 49-41

Trailing 25-13 at halftime against a North Andover team that was 7-1 coming in, prospects did not look bright for the Lady Warriors.

But Andover pulled off a successful Jekyll-Hyde transformation in the second half, turning its game around 180 degrees with defense and sizzling free throw shooting.

“We made some adjustments at halftime, changing up defenses and presses enough to take North Andover out of its offense,” noted Coach Sullivan.

“We attacked their lead like a piranha, taking little bites out of it. The first time I looked up (at the scoreboard) in the second half the lead was down from 12 points to five, and before I knew it we were ahead.

“Marcia Gemmell and Beth Everett were outstanding on the boards, Kerry Hagerty and Gemmell led the offense, Lindsey Sweeney was 4-for-4 from the free throw line down the stretch, and we had some excellent defensive play from Tara Grif

Boys outlast Billerica, sneak past Dracut

Sean Ryan turns in best performance of season for Monmouth CollegeBy Rick Harrison

Sean Ryan of Andover, last year’s Massachusetts High School Division 1 Player-of-the-Year in basketball while a senior at Andover High, turned in the best performance of his brief (11 games) Division 1 collegiate hoop career recently when he sparked Monmouth College in Monmouth, N.J. to a 67-61 Northeast Conference victory over St. Francis, N.Y. College in Brooklyn.

Ryan, whose previous season high was eight points in a 78-57 loss to Rice on Jan. 2, started for the second time and contributed 17 points, three steals and two assists. Sean was 6-ror-IO from the floor, including 5-for-8 from three-point land.

The freshman shooting guard also played a season-high 36 minutes as Monmouth improved to 2-1 in the conference and 5-6 overall.

Perhaps not coincidentally, this was the first Monmouth game that Sean’s entire family had seen in per-

Eastern Mass. Division 1 North titles, had attended several other games.

This was a first for his mother and younger brother Kevin. Kevin is stricken with cerebral palsy and the two brothers are very devoted to one another. Sean also played his best high school basketball when Kevin was in attendance.

Ryan is the only four-year varsity basketball player in Andover High history.

Last year he scored 502 points in 24 games as Andover finished 16-8 and battled four games deep into the Eastern Mass. Division 1 Tournament.

Sean also scored 284 points as a junior, 108 as a sophomore and just under 1,000 for his high school career.

The outburst against St. Francis boosted Ryan’s average to 3.7 points per game, and he is now ll-for-25 in three-point attempts this season.

contributed 12 points and seven boards, and sophomore guard Tom Tanin stepped up witli his best offensive performance by pumping through 14 points.

Tri-Captain Mark Lastrina rounded out the offense witli five points, and he also ripped down nine rebounds.

“Our defense was almost non-existent,” admitted Coach Fazio. “But Tanin came into his own, hitting 5-of-6 from the floor (83%) and compensating nicely for the loss of Stockwood.”

Both teams finished with 25 field goals, but Andover held a pivotal 27-16 edge at the free throw line.Andover, 46-42

The Golden Warriors seemed to have this game under control early, jumping ahead 11-0 and maintaining a 26-11 edge at halftime.

“We played exceptional defense in the first half,” noted Coach Fazio. “We wanted to hold Dracut to 45 points or less, and we were right on target. But we were out of sync offensively, and Dracut was scrappy right from the opening tap.”

Andover’s 10-point lead late in the game was reduced to the final four-point margin when the Middies tossed in a pair of three’s near the end.

“Dave Gardner and Mark Lastrina stepped up defensively, and Tom Tanin played another strong game on offense,” said Coach Fazio. “It’s more emotional for some of the Dracut kids and for me, because they all went to my camp when I was coaching there (1987-88).”

Tanin was game-high marksman with 14 points, hitting 6-of-9 from the floor (67 per cent),

fin, Amy Cassidy and Erinne Sullivan."The victory was particularly sweet because the

last time these two teams met, in last year’s Greater Lawrence Christmas Tournament semifinal round, North Andover edged Andover 44-39.

The Lady Knights were one of only two teams to beat AHS last year, with Haverhill turning the trick three times.

The Lady Warriors' started this game by mixing defenses and hanging close to host Nortli Andover.

“All of a sudden we started to panic, the same way we do against Haverhill," said Coach SullS van. "We tried to run with North Andover and began making a lot of mistakes. It was helter-skelter ball and we were down by 12 at the half.”

A much more poised Andover squad climbed back into it during the impressive 36-16 second half run, hitting 68% from the free throw line in the game including 16-of-24 in the second half.

In addition to Sweeney’s 4-for-4 from the stripe, both Kerry Hagerty and Marcia Gemmell finished the game 6-for-9.

North Andover, which held a 17-15 edge in field goals, made just 7-of-16 foul shots and was outpointed 19-7 at the line.

Hagerty pumped in 20 points and pulled down 16 rebounds, seven of them off the offensive board while Gemmell broke from a brief scoring slump to add 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Sweeney tossed in six points, Beth Everett had three points and eight rebounds, Tara Griffin two points and Amy Cassidy a pair of free throws.

while Mike Roberts continued his string of doublefigure performances witli 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting from two-point range and l-of-4 from treyland.

Sophomore forward Matt Gibson, Lastrina and Erjc Danis chipped in six points apiece, with Lastrina also grabbing nine rebounds, Gibson seven and Danis seven.

Dave Gardner netted two points, and playing well in brief stints were sophomore forward Chris Brown, junior forward John Donovan and junior guard Frank Paone.

“Our lack of ball movement is obvious because we only had three assists all night,” said Coach Fazio. “Hopefully we’ll do a better job of distributing the ball next week.”Andover JVs

The AHS junior varsity blasted Dracut 52-23 as Steve Meunch had 12 points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots. Point-guard Ken Oppenheim was credited with 10 assists, while Matt Perrault and Paul Cassidy played strong defensive games. Andover freshmen

John Adams (13 points), Mark Maesano and Chris Kearn played well as the undefeated AHS frosli improved to 4-0 by belting Dracut, 52-31.

The freshmen also handled Billerica, 54-39, as Pat Sharkey netted 16 points and Joe Long added 11.

AHS swim team places first in nine out of 11 events

The Andover High School men’s varsity swim team placed first in nine of 11 swimming events against perennially tough Chelsmford, but the Lions’ depth in each event gave them the 98-88 win in a hard-fought battle that was close from the opening gun.

Quadruple winners Chris Blongiewicz, Matt Liberty and Adam Schoen teamed with freshman Adam Moskal for the 200-yard medley relay that was neck and neck until the final touch. Senior cocaptains Liberty and Adam Robb had a first and third, respectively, in the 200-yard freestyle, both in seasonal best times.

Blongiewicz and Tim Connors duplicated the placings and best times in the 200-yard individual medley while Schoen got the judges’ decision in a dead-heat finish in the 50 free. Nathan Winters was fifth as he and Schoen posted personal best times.

Greg Litchrfield and Matt Thresher placed fourth and fifth in the diving competiton while Liberty won the 100-yard butterfly in a state qualifying time with Ben Mazin fourth in a seasonal best time. Schoen won the 10 free with freshman Peter Bolway fifth.

Robb and Moskal fought off tough Chelmsford for the entire 20-length event. Robb was second until the last two strokes when he was nipped at the wall. Moskel was just toughed out for fourth. Both swam state cut times, Robb in a seasonal best and Moskal in a personal best.

The two joined Mazin and Connors for a second-place finish in the 200-yard free relay.

Blongiewicz turned in a seasonal best and state cut time in the 100-yard backstroke with Mazin fifth. Connors did the same in the 100-yard breaststroke while Moskal was second.

Schoen, Robb, Blongiewicz and Liberty easily took the 400-yard freestyle relay with Chris Sheldon, Mazin, Winters and Connors adding third- rjace points.

Only three meets into the season, the Golden Warriors have already qualified six swimmers for the North Sectional and state championships. Blongiewicz, Connors, Liberty, Moskal, Robb and Schoen will compete in both meets and several other team members are close to making cuts.

AHS track:Shepard shines at State Coaches MeetBy Rick Harrison

A strong individual performance by Steve Shepard in the State Coaches Invitational at Harvard University, and a Merrimack Valley Conference dual meet sweep of North Andover 24 hours later highlighted a busy and successful weekend for the Andover High boys and girls track teams.

The two victories over North Andover enabled the Warriors to enter yesterday’s battle with intra-town archrival Phillips Academy 4- 0-0 on tlie boys side and 3-1-0 on the girls side.

Saturday the Girls Freshman-Sophomore Meet is slated for the Lowell High Field House, and next Monday Andover returns to the league dual meet wars against Wilmington.State Coaches Meet

Steve Shepard's flight from Delaware (football recruiting trip) touched down at Logan Airport shortly after 10:30 a.m. the morning of the State Coaches Meet at Harvard, and he arrived at the university just in time to quiz Coach Art

Iworsley about where and when he was to compete in the long jump, 300 dash and relay.

The senior standout, who spent most of his time shuttling back and forth from the long jump pit to the track, placed in three events and qualified for the New England Championships in two.

The ubiquitous Shepard finished second in the long jump with a 21T” leap, losing the title when the winner soared 21”6” on his final leap of tlie day.

Shepard also tied for first place in theSOO yard run, despite being thrust in the slower heats throughout the competition. He won both his trial and semifinal heats and ended up tied for first in 33.0 fiat.

Shepard also registered as a member of the 4x200 relay, running anchor and joining Rob Weisman, Josh Nelken and Colin Arsenault on the fifth place finisher whose 1:36.4 means a trip to tlie New Englands.

Also scoring at Har

vard were Brian Marshall, who soared 20’l” to place fourth and qualify for the New Englands, and Colin Arsenault who finished fifth in the 600 at 1:17.2.

Also competing for AHS were Weisman, who ran a personal-best 34.4, and Matt Ely who added a personal-best 2:26.4 in the 1000.No. Area Fresh-Soph

Chad Collins had the top finish of the day for Andover, second place in the mile with a 5:02.7 clocking.

By Rick HarrisonThe Andover High hockey team split a

pair of games last week, whipping Dracut 7-0 and then falling from the ranks of the undefeated and from its share of first place in the Merrimack Valley Conference Small School Division following a 5-3 loss to Methuen.

The split left the ice Warriors at 6-1-1 overall, including 2-1-0 league, heading into last night’s game against Small School co-leader Tewksbury.

Coach Bill Cullen’s club returns to MVC action Saturday at Iziwell.

The shutout triumph over Dracut was the second straight and third in four games for AHS goaltenders Peter Afarian and Phil Smith.Andover, 7-0

Sophomore goaltender Peter Afarian (two periods, 10 saves) and junior Phil Smith (one period, four saves) combined for the whitewash, while six different players netted goals in the balanced attack.

“We came to play hockey tonight. This was a very good all-around effort,’’ noted Coach Cullen. “Scott Munroe and Marc Escott played very well on the forward line, and Dan Trede returned on defense after missing four games with multiple injuries (suffered off the ice).”

Freshman sniper Chris Cullen opened the scoring with his ninth goal exactly one minute into the game, assists to Bob Daley and frosh defenseman Jeff Hese- nius.

Right wing Doug Batchelder made it 2- 0 with his first varsity goal of the season at 5:38, Escott credited with the setup, and sophomore left wing Dan Hansberry continued his hot shooting with his fifth goal three minutes later.

Junior defenseman and Captain Paul Allard blasted home his first goal of the season late in the second period, with Cullen assisting, as the Warriors went up 4-0.

West Parish, St. Augustine A, Ballardvale winWest Parish and St. Augustine A tuned up for

their first place showdown, held earlier this week, by posting victories in recent Andover Church Basketball League Senior Girls Division play at Andover High.

West Parish improved to 4-0 with a 38-10 romp over St. Robert's A, and St. Augustine A moved to 4-0 by slipping past St. Robert's B, 16-11.

Ballardvale United squared its record at 2-2 with a 22-14 decision over St. Augustine B in the opening game of the afternoon.West Parish, 30-10

West Parish, getting stronger every week, threw up a devastating man-to-man defense that held St. Robert’s A scoreless over the middle two quarters.

The winners’ offense was sparked by rapidly- improving Laura Orlando, who hit all six of her shots, and the t alented Muller twins who combined for 16 points.

Guard Anne Marie Paone was a bight light for SRA.

AHS hockey team whips Dracut, 7-0(Conlinued from page 46)

Senior rearguard and Captain Justin Hesenius launched the three-goal third period with his fifth of the year at 1:44, sophomore forward Scott Sullivan registering his second assist of the game.

Cullen connected with his 10th four minutes later, Daley dishing off the pass for his second point of the night, and sophomore right wing Dana DiFiore capped the team’s third seven-goal outburst of the season (Beverly, North Andover) on a pass from freshman Ed Seero with less than two minutes remaining.

Andover fired 45 shots at beleaguered Middies’ netminder Frank TrouviUe (38 saves).

Methuen, 5-3The Rangers continue to be a nemisis opponent

for Andover.This was Methuen’s seventh straight victory

over AHS, which last defeated the Rangers 3-2 in December of 1989 during the North Andover Christmas Tournament.

Six of the seven games since have been decided by three goals or less, the lone exception in the third round of last year’s Eastern Mass. Division 2 Tournament when Methuen ousted the Warriors by a convincing 5-0 score.

This game was tied 2-2 until late in the second stanza, when the Rangers exploded for three goals in 53 seconds to complete a two-team outburst of

With seven minutes left to play in the fourth quarter, SAA led just 12-11 and lost top scorer Allison Daher on fouls.

St. Robert’s B, playing by far its best game of the season, appeared primed for a major upset.

But SRB couldn’t buy a basket the rest of the way, and insurance buckets by Suzanne Meeker and Brooke Adams enabled St. Augustine A to breathe a little easier down the stretch.

Sera Coppolino keyed the pivotal run with five points for Ballardvale, which trailed 8-7 at the half.

Undefeated co-leaders battle'The battle of the undefeated co-leaders

went to St. Augustine A, which rallied from a six-point halftime deficit to tie it in regulation before securing a 22-17 victory over Ballardvale United in recent Andover Church Basketball League Senior Boys Division action at Andover High.

The victory left SAA alone at the top with a perfect 4-0 record, while Ballardvale slipped into a three-way tie for second witli Faith Lutheran and St. Augustine B (all 3-1).

Faith Lutheran kept pace with a 21-14 triumph over St. Robert’s A, and SI. Augustine B slipped past St. Robert's B, 23-20.

Free Christian nudged St. Augustine C, 23-19, to complete the week's action.St. Augustine A, 22-17 (ot)

The game was played at a frantic pace, which was ideal for up-tempo St. Augustine A.

Ballardvale United jumped to a 7-0 first quarter lead behind Erik Froburg’s six points, and stretched the advantage to 13-0 midway through the second period as Froburg, Jay Harmon and Nick Rauseo

dominated the boards while guard Steve Turner continually broke the SAA press.

The BU big men eventually began to tire from the relentless pressure defense, however, as SAA closed to 13-7 by halftime and trailed just 15-13 after Jeff Danis did some third quarter sniping from 10-foot range.

Brian Jordan’s bucket enabled St. Augustine A to pull into a 17-17 tie at the end of regulation, and the overtime was all SAA (5-0) with a basket by Jordan and free throws from Danis (two) and Joe Jelson.

Defensive pests for the winners were Luis Dominquez and Jelson.

Both teams finished with eight field goals, but SAA was 6-for-14 from the free throw line to Bll’s l-for-8.

Lutheran was clinging to a slender three- point lead over upstart St. Robert’s A after three quarters, but gained some breathing room in the fourth period thanks to the long-range accuracy of Roger Foltz, Andy Pojasek and Mark Breiland.

The strong defensive play of SRA's Jarrod Hyman, who shut down Lutheran's Nick Wilson, kept the game close until the final minutes.

and other expenses to it, but that other campaign officials didn’t know of the fund until January 1992. During the November interview with the Townsman, Mr. Rizzo said he has cooperated with the FEC audit and that he would reimburse the campaign for any funds that the FEC finds are not allowable.

“Everything was turned over to them (FEC). The issue was the timeliness of the report, when it should have been reported,” he said in November.

According to published reports this week, a Grand Jury has been hearing testimony on Mr. Rizzo’s case for nearly a week. A Grand Jury investiga

tion is conducted in secret and hears evidence from prosecutors and determines whether the government has good reason to bring formal charges against someone.

In addition to the alleged Grand Jury investigation, Mr. Rizzo has been quoted in published reports this week saying he was subpoenaed by the U.S. attorney’s office last month to turn over his Tsongas campaign records and that his bookkeeper was called to testify that the records turned over were Mr. Rizzo’s.

No official charged have been Filed against Mr. Rizzo as a result of any of the investigations.

Fire, ambulance get good marks(Continued from page 1)

offered to crunch the numbers and summarize the results of the survey. What they came up with surprised even the chief.

v . “They were impressed. They said the number of returns was excellent,” the chief said.

Of the 424 surveys mailed to ambulance. users, 11 were undeliverable and 169 - or 41

percent - of the remainder were completed and returned. A total of 144 surveys were mailed to those serviced by the fire department, of which four were undeliverable and 77 - or 55 percent - were completed and returned.

“The answers were what 1 expected. I’m kind of excited because I think we scored higher in some areas then I thought we would have,” the chief said.

Along with the excellent ratings, 10 percent of fire and 8 percent of ambulance

- respondents felt the service was good. One percent thought the ambulance service was average but none thought the fire service was average or either service was poor. A small percentage of each did not respond to the question.

Ambulance clients often ask to be taken to the Lahey Clinic or to Massachusetts General Hospital, according to the chief, but the fire department provides only emergency service to the nearest hospital, Lawrence General in most cases. The survey asked clients if the town should expand service' to include medical transport, and 68 percent of respondents said yes. A least a few said they would like to be taken to the hospital of his

■ or her choice, but others said they wouldn’t want to jeopardize the emergency service by

expanding it to include non-emergency transport.

At least one respondent would like to see an ambulance at West Station, but 99 percent said ambulance response was quick enough to suit them. Most said the ambulance service is first rate.Soot on rug

On the fire side, 96 percent of respondents said they felt confident and safe when the fire department left their homes, but a few complained of damage done to their home. One complained that paint on his/her door was chipped when firefighters removed a wood stove from the house to get at a fire. Another complained of charcoal on a rug after a chimney fire.

Others said firefighters didn't explain electrical problems to the respondent’s satisfaction. Some thought firefighters were not thorough enough in looking for the cause of problems, such as finding out which light was causing a smell rather than recommending they shut the lights off and call an electrician.

“A lot of people want us to stay and find the cause,” the chief said.

A total of 95 percent said the fire department responded fast enough, but at least one was upset that the police arrived first.

The general comments on the fire department described it as professional, sincere, concerned and held in the “highest esteem.”

As a side note, the number of service calls by the fire department increased from 1,482 in 1962 to 6,278 in 1991. Of those, ambulance calls went from 597 to 2,017. During the same period, only 10 personnel have been added, the chief said.


Louis Pimpare, at left, assistant postmaster in Andover, welcomes George Selfridge, Andover’s new postmaster. Mr. Selfridge began in Andover Monday. Before coming here, the 57-year-old Salem, N.H., resident was postmaster’ in Newburyport for six years. For the five years before he was in Newburyport, Mr. Selfridge was postmaster in Burlington. He told the Townsman Tuesday that he doesn’t plan changes in postal services in Andover in the near future and he expects to keep open the three post offices here: Stevens Street, Old Town Hall at Main Street and the Ballardvale office. Within the next 18 months, Andover’s postal system will become fully automated, he said. “The changes the customer will see are that the carriers will be on the streets earlier and there will be more consistent times for daily delivery.”

Now you can labor, deliver and recover in the most modem, comfortable and private birthing suite available anywhere. Compare this to other hospitals where you labor and deliver in one room—then move to a different room for recovery—and you'll see that we're serious about alleviating unnecessary labor pains.

As you would expect of the area’s leading maternity hospital, Lawrence General's progressive attitude gives you plenty of latitude. You can have a prepared childbirth if you wish. Or, if you choose to have medication, The General offers 24-hour anesthesia, including epidurals. And we were the first hospital in the area to offer Patient Controlled Analgesia (the PCA pump), which allows you to control the amount and frequency of medication you want.

No matter how you decide to deliver you'll have the most supportive and skilled nurses at your side. They’ll be helping you from the moment you arrive until you’re ready to leave for home. After you’re home you can call directly to the maternity nurses station, if you have questions about caring for your newborn.

If there's a baby in your future, consider all the benefits of delivering at The General. Call (508) 683-4000, ext. 2206 and ask for our maternity brochure. If you would like to see for yourself, tours are conducted by individual appointment. We’d be proud to show you our new creation.

Cooper Heston Stock was born June 9, 1992, to Michael and Gretchen Stock, 28 Michael Way. Cooper’s sister is Cassidy Crandall Stock, 3.

By Gretchen Stockooper was born in Andover. Not at a clinic or in a doctor’s office. Not in the back of a taxi

cab. But at our house, in our bedroom, in Andover. This was the second time we had elected to have a homebirth.

In my fourth month, I began having monthly appointments with the midwife at her home in Reading.She took my blood pressure, measured my abdomen, and listened for the baby’s heartbeat. We discussed any questions I had about the pregnancy or the birth.

In my eighth month, we began seeing the midwife once a week. We also visited a birthing clinic in Cambridge that serves as back-up for my midwife. The midwives at the clinic agreed to meet me at the hospital if complications arose during labor or if I went into labor too soon or too late.To have a homebirth, your labor must fall between three weeks prior to your due date or two weeks after.

We also had the midwifeand her apprentice over for a home visit in my eighth month. It was sort of like having a dress rehearsal. Everyone reviewed what his/her function was, and what special needs each may have.

Ten days before my due date I felt the first signs of labor. I called the midwife to alert her, and she suggested going on a walk. We finished dinner, and while my husband put our daughter to bed, I went on a walk around Andover. I felt as if I had a very special secret, and I wanted to stop the people I passed and tell them, “I’m about to have a baby!”

When I returned home, it seemed as if labor had slowed down, and the baby would not be arriving that evening. However, around 11 p.m. things picked up. I called the midwife, who agreed to come over but thought it was too early to call her assistant. The midwife arrived and helped my husband and me fold some last-minute laundry.

At midnight my water broke, and it was time to call the assistant. After three hours of active labor, it

7 went on a walk around Andover. I fell as if I liad a very special secret, and I wanted to stop the people I passed and tell them, “Pin about to have a baby!’”

just in time to offer a very needful instruction that enabled the shoulders to pop out. The midwife turned to my husband and said, “Catch your son!” And my husband delivered the baby. (We did not know the sex of the baby at this point, but our midwife had a hunch.)

My husband also cut the umbilical cord. The baby was alert and seemed very content. The midwife, the apprentice, and the assistant inspected him carefully, and then set him back in my arms.

We called a friend who came over to see the baby right away. We couldn’t wait to start sharing him. The assistant insisted I eat something, and she got me an orange and a bagel.

By 5 a.m., the birthing team had cleaned the equipment, packed up some stuff, thrown some of our things in the laundry, and had come upstairs to say good-bye. My husband and the baby quickly went to sleep. Although tired, I sat there watching both of them, too elated to sleep.

Three hours later, our daughter ran in and we introduced her to her new baby brother. She looked at him very carefully, and then said, “Can we watch Sesame Street?''

We've moved since the birth of our son, but when he’s old enough we will definitely show him the house where he was born. Right here in Andover.
