We cut taxes—to a total of$1J billion over fouryears — kept spending under control, and gave thepeople of Connecticut a smaller, more responsivegovernment that is focused on creating jobs. And to topitall off, we're returning to the taxpayers the money wedid not need to run the government—a first-time evertax rebate."

Mr. Flaherty pointed to some of the high points ofhis last two years at the state Capitol, which included:

•The passage of his tuition freeze at the Universityof Connecticut, Connecticut state universities, and thecommunity-technical colleges. He was the first toadvocate the freeze, in 1997.

•Enacting a new College Savings Program (theConnecticutHigher Education Trust, orCHETprogram)in 1997 and the millions of new dollars pumped intofinancial aid programs in 1998.

•CuUingtheincometax again, increasingthe propertytax credit, and providing a tax rebate of $ 150 per family— all while paying debt and filling the "rainy dayfund."

•Cutting the gasoline tax by a total of 7 cents (pergallon).

•Protecting seniors from losingConnPACE benefitsand providing all seniors eligible for local "circuitbreaker" property tax relief with a $100 tax rebate.

•Securing several grants for the 68th District,including lightsfor the Watertown High School athleticcomplex field, water projects in Middlebury, andfunding for the Oakville Branch of the Watertown

with state Rep.Brian J. Flaherty

Library Association.•Ensuring Ihe completion of theBuckingham Terrace

II elderly housing complex. Funding was nearly lost bythe Weicker administration, but was saved by Mr.Flaherty and state Sen. Louis C. DeLuca.

"Although these issues are stimulating, legislatorsshould never lose sight of the most important part ofour job," Mr. Flaherty stated. "For me, thathas beencutting red tape to get a senior's rental assistancecheck, someone's workers compensation benefits, orto keep a single mom and her kids in their own home.It is those and all the other personal needs people have.every day that make this job worthwhile. I might notalways have been able to guarantee success, but I'venever stopped trying.

"Mclanic, Brendan, and I are so grateful for thesupport that so many people have shown us. Today, asthis two-year term draws toaclose.Iam asking that youjoin me in continuing our work for two more yea'

"It's time once again to take this campaign to -.cneighborhoods of this district, the coffee shops andgrocery stores and continue my 10-year dialogue withthe people of Watertown, Oakville, and Middleburyabout their problems, hopes, and concerns, and whattogether we can do about them."

Mr. Flaherty, who holds the post of deputy houseminority leader (the second-ranking Republican in theHouse of Representatives) was first elected to theHouse in 1988 and is finishing his fifth term.

The Republican nominating convention for the 68thDistrict will be Wednesday, July 15, at 7:30 p.m. Inkeeping with the GOP's tradition of rotating theconvention sites between Watertown, Oakville, andMiddlebury, Mr Flaherty said he will request that it beheld at the Oakville Branch Library, 55 Davis Street,where it was last held in 1994.

China shouldbe viewed asserious threat

To The Editor:It seems a persistent political

virus has struck the highest officeholders of our federal government.It could be amnesia, but I believe itis greed poorly disguised by feignedignorance about our 20th centuryhistory. In their lust for power it isquite likely they couldn't care less

*)ut our past serious politicalNiiistakes in this century and theirbloody consequences.

There are millions of us whogrew up in the Depression years ofthe '30s still remembering vividly acommon cry at that time: "Scrapmetal for Japan." We youngsterswould gather scrap metal, then waitanxiously for the junk man to makehis weekly rounds by horse andwagon. Three cents per pound trans-lated into goodies at the candycounter. We had no idea whereJapan was located on a world map,nor did we care. Ignorance wasbliss! Unfortunately wepaiddearlyfor the ignorance of those in gov-ernment at that time.

That scrap metal was returned tous as bombs and bullets at PearlHarbor on December 7,1941, ourday of entry into World War II.Many of my generation were sacri-ficed there. Emotional pain stilllingers heavily across our land bythe former home front patriots withtheir untimely loss of loved ones

^ id by all ex-military men and"" women, especially those maimed,

injured or spiritually destroyed inthat war. I still suffer with constantphysical pain from my wounds.

Now we are saddled with liberalpeaceniks who in apparent uncar-ing ignorance of our past profoundsacrifices not only have sold ouronce sovereign nation to the high-est bidders, but actually seem in-tent on giving away our missiletechnology, a major form of de-fense for our nation; given not tosome of our proven allies, but toChina no less in spite of its infa-mous greedy rape of neighboringlands.

Victim 'Tibet" is a horror storyin itself with other lands victimized

or threatened. China is not evencapable of caring for its own in ahumane manner. The bloody sto-ries there are without end. In myopinion China is a treacherouspower, a serious threat to worldpeace.

Because of governmental stu-pidity our nation could conceiva-bly be one of its future victims.Remember Pearl Harbor?

When will this political igno-rance end? What will it take toawaken all eligible voters longenough to become knowledgeableabout this infamy orchestrated bythe occupants of the White House?

The voting booth is more than alittle box enclosure with an array offancy little levers! It is the onlycivilized, legal and proper meansand only hope of reclaiming andensuring the future sovereignty ofour own once beautiful nation.

Sincerely,Angelo Peter Rosato,

Supports budgettown meeting

To The Editor:Regardless of whether or not the

budget passes in the second refer-endum on June 16,1 strongly urge

the Town Council to return to thetradition of the annual town budgetmeeting where all interested andconcerned citizens can come to-gether, hear the budgets presentedby the Town Council and Board ofEducation, make an informed deci-sion and vote on the proposedbudget. This way, we can all use thesame facts and figures to decide forourselves how we want to vote. Theannual town budget meeting isalways preceded by public meet-ings of the Town Council and Boardof Education which present in de-tail the proposed budgets and thereis ample opportunity for taxpayersto have a voice in the final budgeton which we vote at the annualtown budget meeting.

The return to the town budgetmeeting concept would be an im-portant step in fiscal responsibilityby the Town Council. So far thisyear, we taxpayers have spent$10,000 on two budget referen-dums. If we have a town budgetmeeting next year instead of auto-matically going to referendum, wecan reduce the budget referendumline item by 100 percent.

We would also see a decrease inthe Board of Education's budget ifwe return to the town budget meet-ing. The budget meeting is tradi-tionally held in one location on oneevening. We would save ourselvesthe increased maintenance costs forcustodians to set up tables and chairsfor poll sitters and clean the floorsafter the hoards of taxpayers trampleacross gym floors in street shoes. Idon't have the exact figures for thisexpenditure, but I can assure youthat the net result would be a 100percent decrease in the cost

Each individual taxpayer woulddirectly benefitfrom an annual townbudget meeting. We would save100 percent of the amount paid forgasoline, gasoline tax, wear and

The Superintendent's CornerWhat is all this technology

'hype' about?by Maria Druan

In the age of CD-ROM and the explosion of theInternet, the way we read and gather information haschanged significantly. If students' references arc ina multimedia format, isn't it time they delivered their

^ ' presentations and research in the same manner?Paper and pencil reports, even word processing, nolonger prepare students for the future!

Communicating ideas in visual form is becomingincreasingly more important With the nearlyuniversal presenceofmultimediareference materials,games, and literature, the current generation will usemultimedia at home and, eventually, at work.

Multimedia software allows individuals to accessdata on the Internet, create and edit QuickTimemovies, use a QuickTake camera, and use Mac-Windows project compatibility and the widest rangeof file type compatibility for graphics and sound.

HyperStudio has its own innovative approach foraccessing data on the Internet HyperStudio buttonscan direct Netscape to open to a specific home pageor other URL location. This can be used to easily

integrate particular Internet displays right into apresentation or student project. With HyperStudioMediaLinks,HypcrStudiowillautomaticallyconnectthrough the Internet toapredeterminedsite, downloadthe file, and the image will appear in the clip artselection window—all without the user even havingto know anything about the Internet! This means thatyou can transparently access Internet files!

Throughout the district students are learning touse multimedia software lo present multimediaprojects in many different curriculum areas. Digitalcameras, scanners, CD-ROM, and the Internet supportthe development of these projects.

Both in-district and out-of-disnict inservicetraining is being offered to staff to acquire thenecessary skills to use this exciting technology. Theschool's parent groups have been helpful insupplementing the purchasing of the equipmentneeded to use multimedia.

The Watertown public school staff looks forwardto continuing the use of this new technology in thefall.

Maria Druan is the computer teacher for Grades5 and 6 for the Watertown public schools. .

tear on automobiles and all associ-ated hidden car maintenance costsmade necessary by all those tripsback and forth to polling placeslocated in four separate placesthroughout town. The in-pocketsavings to each of us could be evengreater because we could car-poolto the budget meeting with friendswho may normally be required tovole at a polling place other thanour own. If we ride with friendsinstead of driving our town cars,our out-of-pocket expenses wouldbe zero, which is an even greatersavings than a zero percent increase.

We would benefit as a commu-nity from returning to the annualtown budget meeting. Wewould betaking a pro-active role as a unifiedtown coming together and workingtogether to achievea common goal:reasonable people passing a rea-sonable budget. We would be ashining example of civic pride state-wide and even nationally. Businessand industry would flock to Water-town (thereby increasing our taxbase). Our homes will increase invalue as real estate prices soar whenmore and more families relocate toWatertown to share in our pride.Grant money would flood into ourschool system (resulting in a de-crease in die education budget) asother states study how Watertownovercame its sorry reputation ofbeing the town full of people toostupid to vote, as evidenced by thedifference in the numbers of voterswho voted on the town budgetquestion versus the number of vot-ers who voted on the educationbudget at the April referendum.

I urge the Town Council to re-turn to the annual town budgetmeeting. I am sure that we can saveeven more than 100 percent of allcosts now associated with thebudgetreferendum, and simultane-ously avoid any increase in future

budget referendum expenditures.Sincerely,

Jean M. McNairWatertown

Questions expenseTo The Editor:

It seems our director of publicworks, Mr. Deleppo, has either toomany employees or no idea whereto place them. When Mr. Deleppotakes town equipment and men towork on private property and claimshe worked only three days to re-build 1000 feet of road and installtwo drains in two different areasunder this new road, I doubt it. IfMr. Deleppo said two-and-a-halfweeks it might be more believable.But he claimed there was no cost tothe taxpayers. I would like to knowwhat he considers the use of a gra-dal, loader, roller and three trucksplus labor and material? To top itoff, two tracks could have done thesame job.

It bothers me as I watched threetrucks travel from McVeigh Roadin Watertown to the Bethlehemtown line with approximately threeyards of fill per truck. This wasbecause the pay loader could notexcavate and load the trucks fastenough. It is about 16 miles roundtrip, which takes about one hour,keep in mind that these trucks getabout four miles to a gallon of gas.But remember, Mr. Deleppo said"it didn't cost the taxpayer any-thing because we got the fill fornothing." Mr. Deleppo also wentout and bought 40 feet of drain pipeat a cost of $9.15 per foot for thisjob. Now remember that it did notcost the taxpayer one cent to do thisjob, according to Mr. Deleppo.

Mr. Deleppo if you want to dosomething constructive, how aboutkeeping your promise to repair my

Praises students'accomplishments

To The Editor:This letter is inspired by a short

speech given by Mr. Ed Sklanka onThursday, June 4 at the WatertownHigh School awards night. It wasmy privilege to attend this functionas well as the sports dinner spon-sored by the Watertown HighSchool Athletic Association onSunday, June 7. The recent newsstories, both local and national,concerning high school and middleschool students are, to say the least,disturbing.

However, on these two eveningswe saw those young adults I feelrepresent the majority of our youthin Watertown and perhaps thecountry. I have lived in Watertownmost of my life and have alwaysbeen proud of our school system,and yet I was overwhelmed by thehigh level of academics and theconduct displayed on June 4. This

Councilmanapologizes for

remarksTo The Editor

This is an open letter specifi-cally written to Mrs. RosalieLoughran and Mrs. Trish Kropp,and to anyone whose feelings werehurt by an insensitive act on mypart In my letter, "Gold Star Moth-ers," comments were made con-cerning their sensitivity about Vet-erans. These comments were madeby a person (me) that did not takeinto consideration the hurt, painand the rekindling of past emotionswhich might be brought by thesestatements.

They were comments made notwith forethought in mind but madeout of sheer stupidity with no con-sideration of the hurt that would beinflicted. As you suggest, a resig-nation from the Council would bein order for this egregious insult toa mother and sister of veterans whomade the supreme sacrifice in de-fense of our country. However, thatwould be the easy way out for me.I could then climb under a rock andhide my shame.

I believe the punishment shouldfit the crime; therefore I will con-tinue to attend Council meetings,forcing me to face the animosityand hurt in your eyes and the eyesof your friends.

In dosinglwill attempt toapolo-gize, and although you may not

accept, I must at least try. Trish andRosalie, I apologize for commentsmade in my letter, and hopefully inthe future you can forgive me. As itturns out, I was the person who wasan insensitive, uncaring Clod.

New school gains wetlands approvalby Susan Faber

The Conservation Commission-Inland Wetlands Agency approvedthe application for a Pre-K to grade2 elementary school at its meetinglast Thursday.

The 900- student facility will bebuilt at the intersection of EchoLake Road and Buckingham Streeton a parcel of land that containsthree wetlands areas. Constructionof the school would entail filling ina few of the areas in order to buildparking lots and playing fields, andnew wetlands areas would be cre-ated to offset the loss of naturalhabitats. New detention ponds to

ndle water runoff would be builtX.i part of a drainage system.

The CC-IWA approval wasmade subject to several conditions,said Town Planner, Mary Greene,including a required bonding forthe project. The Commission ruledalso that the water quality of nearbyEcho Lake be tested prior to con-struction, on a monthly basis dur-ing construction and quarterly af-terwards. Commission membersalso required a maintenance sched-ule for oil-water separators locatednear the parking lots.

No sidewalks would be permit-ted in the interior of the site near thewetlands areas, Ms. Greene said,and the Commission approved anenlarged detention basin and acombination of grass and stone-lined swales or ditches. Both deten-tion basins would be fenced withchain link fencing covered in greenvinyl. Landscaping was approvedfor the interior and exterior of thebasins. Two required access roadsto the basins would be constructed

i jrass pavers so the pavement^~or gravel would not be visible.

The Planning and Zoning Com-mission is expected to act on thenew school plan at its July 1 meet-ing, Ms. Greene said, buta decisionis not required until July IS.

Starting the construction proc-ess is contingent upon local ap-provals, and state approval is re-quired for all construction plans.

Somepeoplebelieveitgoodluckto see a swallow or a stork.

The facility will be built accordingto slate guidelines which go alongwith the state funding the town willreceive toward construction costs.Watenown school officials sayground breaking should occur inOctober 1998 and the new school isscheduled to open in September2000.

Students' work of art unveiled at high schoolby Susan Faber

As they worked on a giant muralin the main hallway of their school,Watertown High School art stu-dents realized that the blocks of atile floor they had painted wereaskew. Rather than fudging theperspective, they painted the entiresection over in white and startedthe task over again.

Their labors were rewarded asthe finished mural, depicting sym-bols of the arts, was unveiled on

Friday and admired by school offi-cials and faculty members.

"The students showed such en-thusiasm," said WHS Art Teacher,Alice Schilling. "They were nothappy with mediocrity. It did a lotfor the morale of the school. Thewhole project was a good thing."

The mural, painted in acrylics,transformed the once monotonousconcrete blocks into a rendering of"the magical quality" of the arts,Mrs. Schilling said. Against a deepbluebackgrounddotted with golden

stats of the zodiac, a life-size wiz-ard directed the arts with his wand,as palettes and gold paint lay on thetiled floor. A ballerina whirled atone side of the mural beneath thenotes of a musical scale and theatermasks.

A grant from the WatertownRotary Club enabled the school toto hire Litchfield resident PieterLefferts, a muralist and workingartist who serves on the Board ofthe Litchfield Performing Arts.

Student art work(Continued from page 8)

"When Pieter marched through ourfront door, it was like a breath offresh air," Ms. Schilling said.

On his part, "I firmly believe myrole wasaguide/'Mr.Lefferts said."I deferred to the group."

"I have fell especially at thejunior high and high school level,they don't get the opportunity forarts programs," said Rotary Presi-dent Peg Durkee. "I have a greatloveforthearts."Mrs.Durkeemadeavailable a $5,000 grant used forseveral arts projects throughout theschool system this year. Under thegrant, students saw performancesby a percussionist group and thet e troupe Pilobolus II.> An arts committee, comprised

of Assistant Superintendent ofSchools, Dr. Philip Pelosi, JudsonSchool Principal Marylu Lerz andWHS Principal Carol Rector, de-cided how the grant money wouldbe spent. The mural project "wasjust an absolutely wonderful expe-rience," Mrs. Rector said. "I was inawe of the talents of our students."

The finished painting was dedi-cated to Joan Dowd.a former WHSart teacher who spent 17 years atthe high school following 12 yearsat Heminway Park. Mrs. Dowd"taught us patience and disciplineand how to reach our potential,"said WHS art student MichaelBrown, who spoke during the dedi-cation ceremonies.

The students used techniques ofcolor coordination and perspectivein order to paint the mural, saidMrs. Dowd, who retired from teach-ing last year and admitted shemissed her students "very, verymuch. I feel Watertown has a good

tinuing art education," sheauded. Keeping the art curriculumintact "has been a long, hard fight,"she said.

WHS students who worked onthe mural included Scott Boucher,Bryan Brown, Michael Brown,Daniel Burton, Nick Caporuscio,Meghan Dwyer, Mike Foran,Kimberly Genovese, TashaHolmes, Thomas Konopelski, Iza-bela Kuzepski, Shelby LaCombe,Daniel Lee, Julia Lynch, AnthonyMariak.KrystyneMaschi, Christine

The seminar,attended by professional photog-raphers from Connecticut andMassachusetts, was part of a one-day information and teachingprogram called Super Mondaythat is sponsored by the Profes-sional Photographers of America,Inc. This program is taught twicea year by various professionalphotographers in 150 citiesthroughout the United States andCanada. Participating studentsreceive one merit toward theirmaster's degree. Ms. Sheron, likeall teachers of these one-dayseminars, donated her time andteaching skills to the SuperMonday program. Tuition raisedby these seminars (next one is inNovember) is used the further thescholarship programs of the PPA."Super Monday teachers volun-teer to spend an entire daysharing their expertise andexperience with their peers," saidMs. Sheron, "to help raise fundsfor the support of educationalprograms benefitting the morethan 14,000 international mem-bers of the Professional Photogra-phers of America, Inc." PPA isthe world's oldest and largestassociation for professionalphotographers and has helpedthem worldwide to grow profes-sionally through its educationalservices since 1922. "I believestrongly in sharing my knowledgeand skills with my peers," Ms.Sheron continued. "I know Icould not have acquired theknowledge of photography I havetoday if it were not for thewonderful classes and seminars Iattended in my early years as abeginning photographer. I feel thetime has come for me to giveback to the photographic commu-nity what they so generously gaveme when I needed informationand guidance as a novice yearsago. As anyone who has evertaught knows, you always learnas much from your students as

they do from you. It's wonder-fully reciprocal." Ms. Sheron wasscheduled to lecture to slateorganizations of professionalphotographers in Westchester,N.Y., in May, in Syracuse, N.Y.in June, and at the NationalAssociation of Camera Clubs inJuly at its national convention atthe University of Massachusetts.The Super Mondays are open toall professional photographerswho are members of the PPA.. . .Diane Hamel, manager of TheHaircut Place in Watertown, wonfirst place in a national contest,the True Salon ConsultancyChallenge, conducted by PaulMitchell.

Whenthe contest was announced, Ms.Hamcl took up the challenge andattended the visual merchandisingclass. "While the salon won thehonor, it was Diane Hamel'sdedication to the trade that won itfor us," said owner Joan Veron-neau. "She attended the class andhas not had a month go by thatshe does not have some type ofdisplay to catch the customers'eye as they enter the salon. As theowner, I know the time and effortthat Diane has put into theprojects — they are thoroughlythought through and if shedoesn't like the end setup — it isall rearranged — until she issatisfied." Ms. Veronneau saidco-workers Adrianna Ormez-zano, Diane Wachtel, AndreaCroce, and Theresa Daddonafollowed Ms. Hamel's lead andbegan taking an added interest inthe product and found themselvesreally explaining the use andbenefits of the Paul Mitchell lineto their clients.

Rabies clinic scheduledTown Times, June 18,1998 — 15

at fireby Susan Faber

A rabies clinic, sponsored by theTown of Watertown and the Con-necticut Veterinary Medical Asso-ciation, will be held on Saturday,June 27 from2 lo4p.m.attheMainStreet Fire House in Watertown.The fee for vaccinations is $ 10 (cashonly) per animal and the Water-town Animal Hospital will donateits services.

Written proof of aprior vaccina-tion for rabies or a current doglicense must be presented to qual-if "">r a three-year certificate, saidV. jrtown Animal Control Offi-cer Pat Fitzgerald. Dogs tags arenot acceptable.

Rabies continues to threatenanimals in the Watertown-Oakvillcarea. "We're still getting calls,"Officer Fitzgerald said, and a rac-coon tested positive for rabies re-cently in town.

Since 1991 when raccoon rabies

housespread to Connecticut, 3,753 casesof rabies have been reported state-wide, she said. Rabies has affected3,060 raccoons, 60 cats, seven dogs,520 skunks, 27 woodchucks, 27foxes, three sheep and six horses.There has been one case each af-fec ting a bobcat, coyote, deer, goat,otter, squirrel and ferret.

The statistics represent animalswhich have tested positive but donot indicate the number of possiblerabid animals, she continued. Al-though the occurrence of rabies israre in humans, the disease is al-most always fatal.

Town Clerk Dolores LaRosa andemployees from the Town Clerk'soffice will be on hand at the clinicto issue dog licenses. "Their pres-ence at last year'sclinicwasagreatsuccess," Mrs. Fitzgerald said."More than 100 licenses were soldand they were pleased at the turn-out"

Mr. Rubinappealed the January 1997 deci-sion of the CC-IWA to grant apermit lo allow Konover Develop-ment Corporation of West Hartfordto build a 67,266-square-foot Su-per Stop & Shop, a 26,568-square-foot retail esiablishment and park-ing lot with 453 spaces.

Watenown Plaza is the site of anAdam's Super Food Store.

The recent court ruling has legalramifications in Connecticut, saidMr. Rubin's attorney, VincentSeadale, of the law firm of Faz-zone, Baillie, Ryan, Schmitt andSeadale in Cheshire. Watertown'smotion to dismiss was based on Mr.Rubin'slack of standing as an imer-venor, but the court ruled that hehas standing to continue with toappeal under the environmentalintervenor provision of the envi-ronmental protection act, AttorneySeadale said. '

"We'vegooenoverthathurdle,"he commented.

According to Konover's pro-posed drainage plan, runoff fromthe Slop & Shop parking lot wouldflow to theend of New Wood Road,which is across the road from thesite, and end up downstream in theSperry Pond wetlands area in Mid-dlebury.

pollutants, would negatively affectthe environment, Mr. Rubin con-tended. Additional water wouldendanger a dam in the pond, claimedrepresentatives from Middlebury,who filed a notice of interventionagainst Konover.

Middlebury also filed suitagainst the Town of Watertown'sPlanning & Zoning Commissionfornot notifying them of the Stop &Shop plan in a timely manner. Theconstruction of retention ponds anddiverting storm water into SperryPond required Middlebury's ap-proval, according to the lawsuit.

Although the Stop & Shop proj-ect received CC-IWA approval, itwas ultimately rejected by Water-town's Planning and Zoning Com-mission in February 1997 becauseof additional traffic the projectwould produce and because of theenvironmental impact of buildingthe supermarket

Soon afterwards, Konover filedlawsuits appealing the Planning andZoning Commission's decision,including a lawsuit against Mr.Rubin, who had intervened.Konover contended the drainageplan would not increase the amountof water or lessen the water qualityin the wetlands, and proposed astorm water monitoring plan.

tinue to appeal Konover's proposedwetlands activities, said MaryGreene, Town Planner. The appealargues in part that the CC-IWAdecision to grant a permit failed toconsider reasonable and prudentalternatives which would have alesser impact on the environment,Attorney Seadale said. Optionsincluded sending water into the statesystem, which would not affect thearea at the end of New Wood Road.

"We do not comment on proj-ects in litigation and there are sev-eral pieces of litigation ongoing,"said Konover's executive vice presi-dent, Richard Cohen, on Monday."It is unfortunate for all involved.We feel we made application ingood faith. We feel we got a rawdeal. We do not feel the outcomewas a fair one. The people of Wa-tertown are losing out as we are.

"We are committed to this proj-ect," Mr. Cohen continued. "It's agood project. We believe the vastmajority of people in town wantthisproject. They deserve the prices,selection and quality that thesupermarket will provide. We hopethis project will get built. We andStop & Shop will stay on course."

Arriving at Taft School in earlySeptember for varsity soccer's weekof preseason training, Botswanianexchange student Ernest Kwartengquickly displayed the positive atti-tude that has left its mark on all whohave met him.

Ernest was the recipient of ahighly competitive scholarshipawarded to outstanding studentsfrom his previous school inBotswana, the MaruA.PulaSchool.The scholarship allows one studenta year to come from Botswana tostudy at Taft, according to theWatertown prep school.

Attaining the scholarship wasone of many challenges Ernestfaced, and he has made many ad-justments since his arrival at Taft.He has had to work harder to com-plete his homework, he said, andhis workload is heavier and moredifficult than it was in Botswana.Also, material is covered muchfaster in Taft classrooms than in hisnative school.

Inadditiontoacademicchanges,Ernest was forced to adj ust to a newstyle of soccer. Taft varsity soccercoach, Willy MacMullen, com-mented that prep-school soccer ismuch different from the kind of

game that Ernest grew up with inBotswana. He was used to the"backyard, pickup, village streetkind of game where only dribblingwas important," Mr. MacMullensaid.

At Taft, he learned the systemsof play and tactics that are an inte-gral part of the game at the highschool level.

Acclimated to music"The team was so excited when

he got his first goal," Mr. MacMul-len said, "you could see how muchthey respected him. People take forgranted his dignity and ease, but wehave to remember what a huge-adjustment he's made. There is noother student in the school who hashad to understand a culture, institu-tion or society that is so differentfrom the one Ernest comes from."

Ernest has become acclimatedto music culture in theUnited S tates,enjoying rap and rhythm and blues,and has already developed a strongdislike for theDave Matthews Band,according to Taft School.

Although he played varsity soc-cer in the fall, lifted weights in thewinter and plans to continue hiscareer on the track in the spring,academics come first for Ernest.

CL&P tree trimming plans in MiddleburyMIDDLEBURY — As part of

Connecticut Light & Power's con-tinuing effort to improve servicereliability, 7.3 miles of power linesin Middlebury will undergo en-hanced tree work. Middlebury waslast trimmed in 1995.

According to a June 4 press re-lease from CL&P, this year's workwill focus on the trimming or re-moval of large limbs and trees thatcould break and fall on the linesduring storms. "Enhanced tree trim-ming" will be done to trees along-side the 7.3 miles of primary linesfeeding CL&P's electrical infra-structure in Middlebury.

The project, which began inMay, is expected to be completedby the end of July.

"The goal of this work is loreduce the number of electricaloutages caused by trees on theselines," said James Gavell, CL&P'sgeneral manager for the Waterbury

District. "When power is lost onthese primary circuits referred to as'backbone circuits,* thousands ofpeople are affected in the surround-ing areas.

"CL&P intends to improve serv-ice reliability by protecting thesecircuits from tree-related damage,"he said.

Tree trimming is also of greatimportance for the safety of line-men who must work on these linesat night and during inclementweather to restore power, Mr.Gavell pointed out. Sufficientworking space is needed so work-ers can maintain a safe distancebetween the lines.

The release said crews fromLewis Tree Services will be work-ing in Middlebury under the guid-ance of Doug Pistawka, CL&Pregional arborist, and Edward St.John, Middlebury Erst selectman."This program is designed to re-

move hazardous trees and limbsthat have become weakened by oldage, disease orinsects," CL&P said.

The Lewis Tree Services crewswill work to create an average clear-ance zone of eight feet alongsideelectric lines, 20 feet above and 10feet beneath the lowest wire. Struc-turally weak branches hanging overpower lines, which can becomeweighted down with snow or iceand cause an electric outage, willalso be removed.

Prior to performing any treework, representatives from LewisTree Services will identify treesthat are dead, diseased, structurallyweak or capable of striking theelectrical lines. Residents will thenbe informed of the intended workin person or through the use ofpermission cards.

Anyone with questions abouttheprogram may call Mr. Pistawkadirectly at (203) 597-4435.

SportsRain washes out weekend;Frazier takes hill tonight

by Jim Dreher

WATERBURY - Mother Naturewas the big winner of the scheduledthree-game weekend set betweenthe Waterbury Spirit and the Adi-rondack Lumberjacks, who hadtheir entire June 12-13 series inGlens, Falls, NY washed out thetorrential rains which pounded theNortheast.

Two of the games will be madeup as a 6:00 p.m. double-header onMonday, June 22 at Adirondack,which had been a day off; the thirdcontest will be made up as the firstgame of a twin-bill at MunicipalStadium on Friday, July 10, withthe first pitch scheduled for 5:35p.m.

TWO OF THREE VS. MADDOGS

In their most successful homeseries to date, the Spirit won two oftheirihree midweek contestsagainstthe Massachusetts Mad Dogs onJune 9-11.

In the series opener, Kelly King-ston's first home run of the season,a solo shot, proved to be the game-winner as Waterbury edged Massa-chusetts, 5-3.

Ron Frazier of Torringtonpitched a strong 7.2 innings to winfor the second time in three deci-sions; the one-time Yankeefarmhand scattered seven hits dur-ing his stint

Byron Tribe of the Mad Dogstook the loss; Tribe, a 23 year-oldright-hander who hails from RogerClemens' hometown of Katy,Texas, was the victim of Kingston'sblast.

Second baseman Mike Paganahad two of the seven Waterburyhits.

The next evening in front ofonly 572, the Spirit exploded forfour runs in the bottom of the eighthinning to lakea 5-1 victory, movingto within one game of the .500level.

Jarvis BrownSpirit starter Ed Ponte's first

victory of the season was not with-out controversey, however, as MadDog manager George Scott shookthings up in the seventh inning,when he claimed that Spirit player/coach Jarvis Brown's bat, which hehad just used to single for his sec-ond hit of the evening, had morethan the allowable amount of pinetar on it.

The hubbub came at a criticaltime, with the score tied at l-l;afterthe bat was removed from play, theSpirit rally ended.

Suitably fired up by Scotts' an-tics, the Spirit went to work againstMassachusetts relievers SteveHueston and Fidel Compres.

After Gabe Duross walked tolead off the inning, Kingstonreached base on a throwing error bythird baseman Duane Stelly, whichset the tabel for Catcher MikeChurch.

The Berlin native promptlylashed his second hit of the night, adouble which plated both runners.

Shortstop Kiko Reyes then sac-

Ron Frazierrificed, with Church taking third,from where he scored on pinch-hitter Steve Reintjes's double.

Former Quinnipiac College starTim Belcher then delivered and RBIsingle of f Compres to complete thescoring, but injured his leg on theplay.as he slid back into first base..

Pome, who returned to the Spiritafter an aborted stint with the Cin-cinnati Reds' Cancun affiliate, al-lowed only seven hits, striking outsix while walking none, as theSpiritwon their second consecutive gamefor only the second time this sea-son.

Who says 1-0 affairs are dull?Certainly not the 860 fans at the

Stadium for the finale of the three-game set on June 11.

Unfortunately for them, it wasthe home team which came out onthe short end of the game, as MadDogs' starter Cesar Santana madean unearned first inning run standup against tough-luck Spirit starterand loser John Shea (0-1).

oles raised their record to 9-0 witha 6-3 victory over a gritty TownPolt Yankees team.

Jason Boulier was the winningpitcher for the O's, allowing threehits and two walks, while strikingout 10.

Shortstop Chris Perrin and thirdbaseman Steve Blomberg weresuperb defensively, making keyplays to keep Boulier out of trouble.

Facing a 3-1 deficit heading intothe fourth inning, the Birds hadbeen held without a hit, but an errorand hits by Tom Piacenza and Per-rin stirred things up.

Aftera pair of bases loaded walks

tied the score at 3-3, DominicAvoletta broke the game open witha bases-clearing triple for the finalmargin.

"Town plot is a good team," saidOrioles'assisant coach Brian Geor-gia. "We needed a game like this toshow us that anyone in this leaguecan beat us if we don't stay on topof out game."

Sick and tired of allthe Bull(s)by Jim Dreher

Six NBA titles is nothing to sneeze at, in any day or age, but aren't weall a little bit sick of Bulls' coach Phil Jackson?

Point #1 - Let's face it, without number 23 in the lineup, the Bulls arethe Vancouver Grizzlies, okay?

Point #2 The Lakers or Celtics of the Eighties would have had thisChicago bunch for a mid-day snack before movingonto bigger and betterthings, like each other.

Jackson's windbag oratory after each and every game became tiresomea long time ago; but it appears as if a nation of fans has just caught on tothis fact, and probably just want the guy to shut up.

If Jackson wants to prove how good he is, let him come resurrect themoribund program at Watertown High School.

Even that may be beyond his capability, especially without 23, whowe'd also iike to see go away for awhile.

Maybe we should take that back; the last sight we want to see ofMichael Jordan is leaving the court after being beaten, and decisively,which is what the Jazz should have done; with the exception of GameThree, a solid case can be made for them having won every other game.

Which is something the Jerrys, Reinsdorf and Krause should weighinto their final decision on keeping the core together.

If you detect an attitude here, you're absolutely right.Once the Bulls hit the skids, a la the Cowboys, we can't wait to see how

many red-and-black jerseys we'll still be seeing front-runners wear.How much belter would the Finals have sounded with Marv behind the

mike?Bob Costas, or "Edgar Allen Costas," as one caller to WFAN hilari-

ously called him, is a great baseball guy, but would have sounded betterteamed up with Doug Collins instead of dragging along the awful IsiahThomas, but as long as Dick Ebersol can find another celebrity jock toshove unprepared into a national broadcast booth, he'll do it, and we'llsuffer as viewers because of it.

An Ahmad-free summer will also be very welcome.As will Jordan-free Sports Illustrated covers.This column has come to realize that, suddenly, the Mets are relevant

after all, and next weekend's series with the Yankees at Shea could be thatlong-awaited Subway Series preview.

But lose those black jerseys, and the black shading on the uniforms,will you, please?

Here's what the Waterbury Spirit players spent their washed-outweekend in Glens Falls, New York doing:

Or does searching for the childhood home of Hacksaw Jim Duggancount?

Last week, it was almost painful watching George Scott walking out tothe pitchers' mound during last week's Spirit series against Boomers'Massachusetts team.

We looked back at our collection of Red Sox yearbooks, and recalleda much slimmer, powerful young man who played a key role during theunforgettable summer of '67.

Here's hoping that Scott, who has lost quite a bit of weight recently,continues to slim down; he's quite a character.

What are the odds of two American Legion baseball teammatesbecoming solid major league baseball players?

Probably astronomical; but it happened right here, with Darren Braggand Rico Brogna, who starred on the Oakville Post team before going theirown ways: Bragg to Georgia Tech, Brogna to the Detroit organization.

The two will spend the better part of the next week renewing acquain-tances as Braggs' Red Sox fece Brognas' Phillies four times; at Fenwayon Monday and Tuesday before moving on to Philly for another two-gameset

While we don'tparticularly care for interleague play, this shouldbe funto watch, or would you prefer a glance at White Sox/Pirates?

Leo Mangini, local baseball coach andOrioIes'fanextraordinaire, told ,up before the season that the O's would do well this season.

He was right, as the Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente and Pee WeeReese Birds of WOAC are tearin' up the old pea patch thus far.

That's what you meant, right, Leo?Excuse us, we have to answer the phone....... .Now, where were we?If the USA had mounted the kind of offense at Normandy that they

displayed against Germany at the World Cup on Monday afternoon, we'dbe starting this column every week with the following:

Achtung und Guten TagStill can't get used to a German team without Franz Beckenbauer

around it somewhere; gee, think we could use his expertise on this side ofthe Atlantic?

We'll truly know that the USA has reached the upper echelon of thesoccer world when the players can pull off the great injury con.

You know, where the player, after being brushed by an opponents'shoelace, goes down and writhes on the ground as if he'd been felled frombehind by a cannonball, then, after writhing to such a degree that

SportsThe Rico File

PHILADELPHIA - The Phillies continued to play up-and-down base-ball during the past week, but solid starting pitching gave Manager TerryFrancona reason to expect better days ahead.

Matt Beech put together back-to-back wins over the Orioles andPirates, while Curt Schilling (expected) and Carlton Loewer (unexpected)gave the team a lift

Former WHS star Rico Brogna made his mark, as well, either scoringor driving in at least one run in each game he played in during the week.

After 66 games, the Phils' record stood at 32-34, a ten-game improve-ment over one year ago.

THE WEEK PAST:Tuesday, June 9 vs. Baltimore - One night after surrendering 14 runs

to the O's, the Phils put the clamps down....Starter Matt Beech surrendersonly two hits in six innings, while striking out nine... .Brogna (2-for-3, rbi)rips an RBI (#52) single in the first inning for the only run the Phils wouldneed; the ribby gives him 20 in 13 games....The victory over the Oriolesis the first in five tries for the Phils....PHJLLIES WIN 2-0.

Wednesday, June 10 vs. Baltimore - After rallying to tie the rubbermatch of their three-game set, the usually reliable Mark Leiter lets this oneslip away....Brogna goes l-for-3 and scores a run....The notorious Ar-mando Benitez pitches two innings of relief to pick up the win...PHILLIESLOSE IN TEN INNINGS, 5-2.

Thursday, June 11 - OFF DAYFriday, June 12 vs. Chicago - There is a rumor floating around that

Brogna provided a police escort to make sure the Cubs' pitching staffarrived safely at the Vet. ...Itproves to be false, but one couldn'tblame himif he did....Again, as he did at Wrigley Field a few weeks ago, Brogna teesoff, blasting his 1 llh home run, a two-run shot off Kevin Tapani in the firstinning....The clout would be more than enough for Curt Schilling, whoblanked the Cubbies for seven innings, striking out 13 in winning for thefirst time in six starts.. ..On the downside, Brogna leaves the game after thesixth inning with an inflamed right shoulder....Brogna has 10 RBI againstthe Cubs....PHILLIES WIN 4-0.

Saturday, June 13 vs. Chicago - The shoulder inflammation keepsBrogna on the bench....Chicago scores four times in the tenth inning to capcomeback from 6 4 deficit....PHJIXIES LOSE IN TEN INNINGS, 10-8.

Sunday, June 14 vs. Chicago - Brogna's back, much to Chicago'sregreL...Herips out two more hits, making him 8-for-15 vs. Cubbies....Healso scores a run and drives in his 55th of the season, as rookie Loewerpitches a complete game in his major league debut...PHILLIES WIN 4-2.

Monday, June 15 vs. Pittsburgh - Matt Beech give the Phils theirsecond consecutive strong starting performance, surrendering only fourhits and fanning 11 in eight innings....Brogna (l-for-4) smacks his 18thdouble of the season and scores a ran....PHILLIES WIN 2-1.

THE NUMBERS (as of June 15): G-63 AVG-.282 AB-234 H-66 R-28 2B-18 3B-1 HR-11 RBI-55 (7th in NL).

COMING UP: A,four-game series at Wrigley Field begins this(Thursday) afternoon....Brogna then faces his old Oakville AmericanLegion teammate Darren Bragg when the Phils travel to Boston for twogames with the Red Sox on Monday and Tuesday; the teams then moveto the Vet for two more on Wednesday and Thursdaynights....AH Phillies'games are broadcast on WPHL-AM 1210.

Early days of law recreated in exhibitLITCHFIELD — From "Perry

Mason" reruns to the popularity ofCourt TV, people are fascinated bythe law. The roots of that legalsystem, as well as what it was liketo be a law student studying at thenation's first law school, can beexperienced when the TappingReeve and the Litchfield LawSchool, Route 63 South, reopen tovisitors on Sunday, June 21.

The two buildings are reopen-ing following a five-year, $1.3million renovation designed torecreate the days when the nation's

st law students studied here, longbefore the founding of such institu-tions at Harvard or Yale.

Entitled "The Noblest Study:The Legacy of America's FirstSchool of Law," the exhibit, cre-ated by the Litchfield HistoricalSociety, focuses on the law schoolas wen as what life was like heTeduring Litchfield's "Golden Age,"the half-century after the AmericanRevolution.

Located in both buildings, the

exhibit is designed to make theexperience of living in Litchfieldfrom 1784 to 1833 — the years thelaw school operated—come alivefor visitors of all ages. For example,each visitor is given a "passport"upon entering, containing informa-

tion about an actual student. Anentertaining video dramatizes lifein the 1700s when four law stu-dents and two young women fromthe nearby Litchfield Female Acad-emy (the law school was all male),met at a tavern and share their

experiences.Seated at reproductions of stu-

dent desks, visitors can listen tosnippets of lectures, snatches ofstudent conversations and even thesounds of birds, horses, and car-riage wheels outside.

Changes in way law taughtThe exhibit also showcases the

life of Judge Reeve, a remarkableeducator who transformed the waylawyers were educated. Up untilthen, lawyers trained by apprentic-ing themselves. Judge Reeve intro-duced a fixed curriculum, oralexaminations and "moot court"exercises, familiar facets of lawschool life today.

His impact was obvious: therosterof alumni reads likea"Who'sWho" of early American history.They numbered U.S. vice presi-dents (including Aaron Burr, Tap-ping's brother-in-law and first stu-dent), U.S. Supreme Court judges,governors, senators, and more than100 congressmen.

Views of domestic lifeThe exhibit also explores not

only the law but domestic life aswell. In the spacious addition JudgeReeve built for his wife Sally, the

domestic life of the period is dis-played using furniture, tableware,sewing equipment and toys of theperiod.

The museum is open from Aprilto mid-November, 11 a.m. to5 p.m.Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 1to 5 p.m. Sundays. Admission is $5for adults, S3 for students with IDand senior citizens, and free forchildren under age 12, and lawstudents with ID. The price alsoadmits visitors to the LitchfieldHistorical Society Museum, just ashort walk away facing the historicvillage green.

and Sullivan works with a level ofirreverence, according to Leo So-chocki, artistic director. "The Pi-rates of Penzanze" was staged as aWarner Brothers cartoon, completewith props from the Acme Camou-flage and Piratical Supply Co.

In the Case of "The Mikado,".the Mikado himself resembledGroucho Marx, and KoKo the lordhigh executioner bore a remarkablesimilarity to Robert DeNiro in'TaxiDriver."

"H.M.S.Pinafore"will be stagedin much the same manner. In thecase of Pinafore (or "The Lass WhoLoved a Sailor"—allG&Soperet- _-tas have a second name), think fMonty Python with a healthy doseof Terry Pratchett thrown in forgood measure. As with all Gilbertand Sullivan operettas, the plot isso convoluted a description is nearlyimpossible.

"H.M.S. Pinafore" sits at anchoroff Portsmouth. Able Seaman Ralph(pronounced Raif) Rackstraw hasfallen in love with Josephine, thedaughter of his commanding offi-cer, Cape Corcoran. Likewise,Little Buttercup, a buxom peddlerwoman, has fallen in love with thecaptain.

C lass pride and the need to keepup appearances have made it so thatneither of the Corcorans may ac-knowledge, much less return, theaffections of their respective suit-ors. The captain has in factarrangeda marriage between his daughterand S ir Joseph Porter, First Lord ofthe Admiralty.

Enter the rakish Dick Deadeyewho is forever grumbling andmeddling in the affairs of others.He lets certain crew members knowthatRalph is in love with Josephine.This of course causes no end ofhardship for the twolove-lorn youngpeople. Can't have the classesmingling and all.

Josephine tells her father thatshe can't marry Sir Joseph on thepretext that she is below his station.Capt. Corcoran implores Sir Jo-seph to reassure Josephine that thetwo classes may indeed co-mingle.He tells her this without realizingthat the same may be applied loJosephine's affections for Ralph.

Eventually Josephine and Ralphplan to elope, but as they are mak-ing their getaway the captain inter-cepts them. Upon learning of theirplans he utters the curse "Damme!"Sir Joseph overhears this and sendsthe captain to his quarters... housearrest of you will. He also learns ofthe plans for elopement and ordersRalph to be placed in irons.

The rest must be ascertainedfrom the play. As with previousG&S presentations at the OperaHouse, the music (directed by NinaCathey) will be treated with utmostrespect, according to Mr. Sochocki.Traditionalists should find the har ~>monies and choral orchestration,particularly rewarding. This showis often argued as Arthur Sullivan'sfinest creation.

Ensuing show dates are Fridayand Saturday, June 27 and 28; Fri-day through Sunday, July 3 to 5;and Saturday and Sunday, July 11and 12. Friday and Saturday showsare at 8 p.m., while Sunday per-formances are at 2 p.m. Tickets are$12.50 in advance and $14 at thedoor.

Tickets may be purchased overthe phone (credit cards required)during regular box office hours of 1to 6 p.m., Wednesdays throughSaturdays, at 283-6250.
