By Zachary JanowskiThe Southington Citizen
John Barry, a town coun-cil member and formerchairman, and JosephMarkley, a former state sena-tor, will seek to representSouthington, Wolcott andparts of Cheshire and Water-bury in the state senate.
Barry, a Democrat, andMarkley, a Republican, bothfiled to run for the 16th dis-trict seat with the State Elec-tions Enforcement Commis-sion earlier this month.
Markley represented the16th from 1984 to 1986, al-though it didn’t includeCheshire at the time, includ-ed more of Waterbury andonly part of Southington.
Waterbury RepublicanPaul D’Angelo has also filedto run for the seat.
Barry has been on thecouncil since 2001. He servedtwo terms as chairman, thefirst Democrat to do so sinceSouthington adopted its cur-
rent form of government in1966. He also served for twoyears on the planning andzoning commission prior tohis election to the council.
Both candidates strucksimilar notes about the needfor fiscal restraint in Hart-ford and how their experi-ence qualified them to deliv-er it.
John Barry“I think
my record ofbeing a fiscalconservativeis needed inH a r t fo rd , ”Barry said.He pointedto his accom-plishmentson the town council, whichhe said included addingmoney to the rainy day fund,instituting a containmentpolicy ahead of other townsthat saved an estimated$600,000 and earning a “dou-
ble-bump in our bond rat-ing.”
“I was focused on the fis-cal viability and health ofour community,” he added.“We have to do more withless and government shouldbe no different.”
“If you’re not going tochange the government inthese economic times,” Bar-ry said, “you’re not going todo it.”
“There’s no way aroundit,” he added.
“I speak my mind,” Barrysaid.
“I don’t owe anyone any-thing,” he added. “Anythingthat I’ve done, I’ve done it onmy own.”
Barry said special inter-ests speak out against anynew or different way of do-ing things, even if it is neces-sary to save money.
“It’s not the political peo-ple, ” he said, who are re-questing double-digit budgetincreases, raises and promo-tions in difficult economic
times. “It’s the bureaucrats.”Barry said he also has “ex-
perience being in the trench-es” giving him “knowledgeof what Hartford does andhow it affects municipali-ties.”
“If you can’t see the im-pact,” he said, “then why areyou up there.”
Barry also pointed to hisaccomplishments oversee-ing the first elementaryschool construction projectssince 1995 and the promptcompletion of the de-nitrifi-cation facility. He said whileon the planning and zoningcommission he fought forstrict ridgeline protections.
Barry said he is focusedon “reaching out” at thispoint in his campaign.
“It’s in the very earlystages,” he said. “One thing Idon’t like is campaigns thatlast forever.”
Barry currently works aslegislative staff in the Officeof the House Clerk.
“You cannot be a state em-
ployee and be a legislator,”he said. “If I’m successful,we’ll address that.”
Barry said he feels run-ning for state senate is “anatural progression frommy time here on the locallevel.”
“It’s something I’ve want-ed to do,” he added.
“I think I could be a goodvoice for the people of thisdistrict,” Barry said. “I don’tneed any on-the-job train-ing.”
Joseph Markley“The hon-
est truth iswe had theparty lever,”M a r k l e ysaid. “Thatgot me elect-ed in ’84 andit got mebeat in ’86.”

Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele, aRepublican running for gov-ernor, talked jobs with theGreater Southington Cham-ber of Commerce at its firstcelebrity breakfast of 2010.
Fedele told the story of hisparents’ immigration andasked if the “Americandream” is still alive.
“We came here for the in-credible opportunity,” hesaid, “that was not availableto my parents in Italy.”
“They sold every posses-sion they had,” Fedele said,and came to Stamfordthrough a sponsorship pro-

Kids with enough give some awayBy Zachary Janowski
The Southington Citizen
Seven-year-old Alec Chini-go has a simple enough rea-son for donating his Christ-mas money, “because peoplewere hungry.”
Chinigo collected all thecash gifts he received fromrelatives and gave them toBread for Life.
The first-grader atDerynoski Elementary saidhe got his inspiration fromhis older brother, Kyle Chini-go, 10, a fifth-grader.
Kyle Chinigo made a dona-tion to the Meriden HumaneSociety’s animal shelter,prompting Alec Chinigo to of-fer a donation to a “peopleshelter.”
“I had enough becausewlikes to follow what I do.”
Alec Chinigo didn’t dis-agree with his brother’s as-sessment.
“We got a new dog, Buddy,”he explained. The Chinigofamily adopted the boxer-mixfrom the shelter.
He said he gave his dona-tion to the humane society“because I personally like an-imals.”
“I felt like I’d feel reallygood doing it,” he added.
Another generousSouthington student had asimilar thought when afterholding a tag sale.
Nicholas Szyszkowski, 13,an eighth-grader at St.Thomas School gave the pro-ceeds from the sale to Breadfor Life and donated all theunsold items to Southington

New iPhone app posts waiting times for emergencyrooms at The Hospital of Central Connecticut’s NewBritain and Southington campuses.
Want to know how longyou’ll wait in the emergencyroom? There’s an app forthat. The Hospital of CentralConnecticut (HCC) has justlaunched a free iPhone appli-cation that posts waitingtimes for emergency roomsat its New Britain andSouthington campuses. Waittimes are also available onthe hospital’s Web site.
The app also shows mapsand directions to HCC’s NewBritain General and BradleyMemorial campuses andemergency room phone num-bers. The hospital’s Web site,www.thocc.org, is also avail-
able.“This new mobile applica-
tion will let incoming pa-tients know that if one cam-pus is busy that they can re-ceive the same level of careat the other campus, whichmay not be as busy,” saidRobert G. Flade, director ofthe emergency department.Wait time listings are updat-ed every five minutes.
“If you have an emergencythat may be life-threatening,you should always call 911and be transported by an am-bulance,” said physician as-sistant Jeremy Allen, wholed the app development
iPhone app predicts emergency room wait timesteam. “But, if you cut your-self and need stitches, youfind yourself with a choice:Which hospital do I want touse? And that’s when you pullout this app. Right there inthe palm of your hand is theactual wait time of two localemergency rooms.”
In November, the hospitaldebuted listing of emergencyroom wait times for bothcampuses on its Web site andon a flat screen in the NewBritain General campusemergency room lobby. Theelectronic lobby display alsoincludes a rotating series ofshort messages with impor-tant information for patients.
The hospital’s emergencydepartment is one of thebusiest in the state, withmore than 100,000 visits infiscal year 2009 for the NewBritain General and Bradley
Memorial campuses com-bined. Despite this volume,HCC’s ED has some of theshortest wait times in thecountry, with 90 to 95 percentof patients seen by a physi-cian or physician assistant
within 60 minutes.The team that coordinated
app development also includ-ed EmpowER Systems, Affil-iated Computer Services,and iPathy Software.

Zalaski co-sponsors taxon bonuses
State Rep. Zeke Zalaski, D-Southington, is co-sponsor-ing a bill that would tax thebonuses at companies thatreceived taxpayer fundsthrough the Troubled AssetRelief Program (TARP).
The bill, HB 5175, “An ActImposing A Tax On BonusesReceived By Employees OfBusinesses That ReceivedFunds Under The TroubledAsset Relief Program” hasbeen filed and goes next tothe legislature’s finance, rev-enue and bonding commit-tee. Zalaski is a member ofthe committee.
Under the bill, the tax im-posed on an individual em-ployed by a business that re-ceived TARP funds, would beat a rate of 90 percent on a
bonus over $250,000 for a cou-ple filing jointly or $100,000for an individual.
For example, if an employ-ee received a $5 millionbonus as a result of TARPmoney, the first $100,000 forindividuals and the first$250,000 for joint filers wouldbe exempt.
The employee’s regularsalary would not be affectedby this bonus tax, only bonusmoney. There are severalother legislators who havealso signed onto the bill.
“With so many peoplelooking for work, it’s onlyfair that we require thosewho created our economicmeltdown to contribute to itsrecovery,” Zalaski said. “Peo-ple are outraged by the bigbonuses being paid out fromemployers who were bailedout by taxpayers.”
Zalaski added, “I hope thisbill will get a public hearingand gets some traction in thelegislature because it’s abouteconomic justice.”

Expandedbreakfastprogram
Bread for Life and theSouthington Board of Educa-tion announced that theyhave formed a collaborationto expand the elementaryschool breakfast program.The breakfast program wasstarted a few months ago atFlanders Elementary Schooland is currently providingbreakfast daily to 35 chil-dren. This new collaborationwill enable the program to
Briefsexpand to Derynoski andThalberg ElementarySchools and will ensure thatan estimated 100 additionalchildren receive daily break-fast at no cost to them.
William McDougall, chair-man of Bread for Life, stated“the mission of Bread forLife is ‘that no one may gohungry.’ We have long want-ed to make a major impact onthe hunger problem of ouryouth. Children cannot workto their potential if they go toschool hunger. We want tosee that, at least in our com-munity, no child goes with-out a good morning meal. Welook forward to the day thatall of our schools are able tohave this program. This col-laboration is a major expan-sion of our services and isonly possible because of theoverwhelming financial gen-erosity of our community;
thank you Southington citi-zens for your continued sup-port.”
Superintendent ofschools, Joseph Erardi stat-ed, “Once again, through car-ing community leaders andthrough organizations will-ing to step forward for thebest of children, we will beable to expand our pilotbreakfast program. I ampleased that the Bread forLife organization has be-come such a strong propo-nent for school-aged chil-dren. This is an enormouswin-win for all involved.”

Last hearing set on Southington charter changes By Leslie Hutchison
Special to The Citizen
The public will get achance to guide changes tothe Southington Town Char-ter at a public hearing 7 p.m.,Monday, March 8. The meet-ing could be the last timeduring the review process
that residents will be able todiscuss their likes and dis-likes about changes thatcould affect how town budg-ets are approved, how refer-endums are called and howconflicts of interest are de-fined before they are put onthe ballot.
The Charter Revision
Commission met for nearly ayear to review the charter,which is the guiding docu-ment for town government.The commission sent its rec-ommendations to the coun-cil in January with 10 pro-posed changes.
Under state guidelines,the council can choose to
send the entire report backto the commission for revi-sions, send certain topicsback for revision, rejectsome or all of the recommen-dations entirely, or send allof the topics to the voters fora referendum.
Commission ChairmanDavid Zoni has said he ex-
pects a referendum on thecharter changes will be onthe ballot for the election inNovember.
The proposed revisionsare posted on town’s Website, www.southington.org,with a link labeled “CharterRevision” over the image ofa scroll on the home page.
Catalyst Grant will fund mobile kiosk for seniors Lack of access to critical
services is one of the biggestchallenges facing the re-gion’s growing older adultpopulation and their adultcaregivers.
In response to this chal-lenge, the Community Foun-dation of Greater NewBritain’s Catalyst Fund mem-bers will give a $10,000 grantto Central Connecticut Se-nior Health Services for amobile kiosk designed toreach seniors who are isolat-ed or otherwise unaware ofservices available to them,and their families.
The Connecticut Centerfor Healthy Aging, based inSouthington, plans to com-bine the grant with fundingfrom other sources to launcha new mobile kiosk, whichwill enable the center toserve seniors and those car-ing for them in Berlin, NewBritain, Plainville andSouthington who might oth-erwise fall through thecracks.
Marc Levesque, senior re-source care manager withthe center, recently told Cata-
lyst members that the profes-sionally-staffed van will visitgrocery stores, food pantries,senior centers and other pub-lic sites in the four towns of-fering critical informationand free assessments.
“Our staff will ask ques-tions such as ‘How are thingsgoing at home?’ in order toestablish relationships thatwill open doors for people intimes of need,” he explained.
Catalyst Fund membersselected Central ConnecticutSenior Health Services to re-ceive their annual grant af-ter reviewing proposals fromthree area nonprofits to meeta need in the Community
Foundation’s four-town serv-ice area of Berlin, NewBritain, Plainville andSouthington.
Other applicants for theCatalyst grant were CatholicCharities, which proposed touse the award to expandtheir community outreachsupport group to seniors inthe Hispanic population whodo not speak English, andConnecticut CommunityCare, Inc., which sought thefunding to expand their ca-pacity to offer comprehen-sive in-home assessmentsand access to resources de-signed to help people remainat home as long as possible.
“Our Catalyst Fund mem-bers looked at three veryworthy causes as contendersfor this year’s grant and
learned so much about thechallenges facing this popu-

his state senate election,Markley had served on theRepublican Town Commit-tee and the library board.
Markley has worked inmany fields, including teach-ing and journalism, but hesaid he has spent the mosttime working in politics, in-cluding a campaign againstthe state income tax in theearly 1990s.
“The legislature actuallyrepealed the tax, but wecouldn’t get two-thirds in thelegislature to override theveto,” Markley recalled.
“My ability to influencethings politically was mini-mal after that,” he said. “Itwasn’t until a year beforelast that some people dug meup.”
“It’s been very much like1991 to see these groups
spring up,” he said. “The cit-izens were awake.”
Markley said upon his re-turn to Plantsville after liv-ing in Virginia and Massa-chusetts, he began to “piecetogether” a coalition of anti-tax activists, gun owners,family-values voters and U.S.Rep. Ron Paul supporters.
He said it is “a group thatdoesn’t agree on every-thing,” but it does agree on“constitutional government,personal liberty which in-cludes economic liberty –free enterprise – and fiscalrestraint.”
“My mission for somemonths now has been to findlegislative candidates whocome out of that movement,”Markley explained. He de-scribed those candidates as“citizen legislators.”
Markley said when towncouncil chairman EdwardPocock III, a fellow Republi-can, decided not to run for
the senate seat “it seemedlike an opportunity for me totake my own medicine.”
Most recently, Markleyhad focused on writing fic-tion. “I gave it a propershot,” he said. “To my regretI may be a better politicianthan a writer.”
Markley said he would fo-cus on the state budget ifelected. He said as a statesenator he was able to “cutthe budget substantially.”
“I’m just determined thatwe need to reduce the size ofstate government,” he ex-plained. “We can’t take onany more debt. We can’traise taxes right now.”
Markley said it was not soimportant to “arrive withbrilliant solutions, but to ar-rive with a determination tofind savings.”
“The point of reducing thebudget is not to cause pain,it’s to reduce pain for the tax-payers,” he explained.

Flashing notesshowing 75 percent off acruise vacation isn’tmuch less then they wouldpay if they had called a vaca-tion specialist. No, in morecases it would be the sameprice and with that theywould have the professionalhelping them at no extracost. There are lots of hiddencosts and promotionsthat are not included withthe dates they may want totravel when reading the firstpage of any Internet Website like Expedia or Traveloc-ity, etc. For those who likeshopping on line I suggest
you find what you want andthen call your local profes-sional vacation specialistand let them take care of itfor you.

Leading the wayTo the editor:At the beginning of the
2009-2010 school year, Con-necticut FBLA officers pro-posed a “Going Green DayChallenge” to all local chap-ters throughout the state.Their intent was to “promoteGoing Green by having Con-necticut chapters create aninnovative way to encouragetheir school and communityto be eco friendly”. WhenSouthington High SchoolFBLA officers were present-ed with this challenge, wewere excited to demonstrateour passion for the environ-ment through our enjoyment
of business.During summer officer
training sessions, before thestate officers contacted localchapters, I, SouthingtonHigh School FBLA ChapterPresident, proposed methodsof creating a more environ-mentally sound student body.My greatest ambition was toimplement a recycling pro-gram in Southington HighSchool. After receiving this“Going Green Day Chal-lenge” from the state offi-cers, I knew it presented theperfect opportunity to beginour project. Knowing howgreat of an undertaking itwould be, I establishedFBLA’s personal RecyclingCommittee, in which espe-cially dedicated and interest-ed members focus solely onrecycling in the school.
To begin the program,cardboard boxes labeledwith FBLA’s recycling pro-

posal were placed in all class-es. Thus far, the program hasbeen working extremelywell, and students seem tolove the idea. Teachers havealso been supportive by en-couraging students to recy-cle their bottles and cans.FBLA also runs the conces-sion stand at the boys’ andgirls’ home basketballgames, where we ask peopleto recycle. The Environmen-tal Club at Southington HighSchool has also offered tocontribute to our program bygathering bottles and cans inthe school.
I reached this idea afterendlessly listening to stu-dent complaints about thelack of recycling in theschool. I thought, since thestudents currently at thehigh school have grown upduring this Green Revolu-tion, they should demon-strate their dedication to-ward helping the environ-ment. These students are thecitizens who will be helpingto create a more environmen-tally sound planet for the fu-
ture. Thus, implementingthis program in the highschool is an important steptoward making a greater dif-ference.

regular season with a 9-11record on the wings of losingfour starters to graduationlast year, which equaledmore than half of last year’soffensive output, accordingto head coach Jim DiNello.
“Many would have saidthat just the fact that we arein states this season is an ac-complishment in itself (and)I would have to agree,”DiNello said.
“We have averaged 15 winsover the last five years andhave been to the quarterfi-nals two of those years sothis is different for us (but)
having said that, I knowmany programs who ‘re-build’ and only win three orfour games, we are still play-ing into March, not too bad.”
For the Blue Knights, theyear finished with three con-secutive losses, however itwas tough competition thatthe squad face in that trio ofgames going up against NewBritain, Farmington andNorthwest Catholic.
“New Britain is arguably a14-16-win team if they haveTyler Kimball the wholeyear and we led at halftime ofthat game, (while) Farming-ton is a veteran team that fin-ished with 14 wins and we allknow about Northwest (20-0),” DiNello said.
“My philosophy is a loss isonly a true negative if youdon’t get better from themand in those losses we didsome good things that should
help us going forward.”It is those regular season
losses throughout the 20-game slate and the strengthof the competition for theBlue Knights throughoutthat will only help duringpostseason play.
“Our schedule only hadthree teams in it that did notmake states and only 23teams made states from LL(so) we are definitely battle-tested,” DiNello said. “Thequestion is can our young,inexperienced team handlewhat, for many, will be theirfirst significant tournamentappearance in terms of actu-al game minutes played.”
When it comes toSouthington’s strongestcompetition numerically, go-ing in as the 22 seed out of 23teams, it is everyone.

Southington asserts dominanceas state’s best with seven-pointplus win in matchup of 1 vs. 2
By Michael Guerrera The Southington Citizen
Last year is looking more andmore like an aberration for theSouthington High girls gymnas-tics team. After finishing secondin Class L and fourth at State Openas a team, there was some headscratching. The reason being be-
cause Southington had dominated team com-petition dating back to 2003-2004, the lasttime they didn’t win a team title.
And in their first real test of how goodthey are this season, they passed with flyingcolors.
Glastonbury came to Southington as theNo. 2 team in the state in scoring average,just tenths of a point behind the No. 1 LadyKnights. The Tomahawks left with a lot tothink about when the state tournament ar-rives this weekend as Southington had itsbest meet of the year, posting a 141.85, best-ing Glastonbury by 7.2 points.
“It was exciting; the girls had a good day,”head coach Byron Knox said after the win. “It
was actually a tough week for us because wehad that layoff week that’s always a killerand last week (before Glastonbury) a lot ofthe girls were ill, so I wasn’t exactly sure howtoday would turn out, but when we warmedup, we were all business.”
Coming into the evening, the meet was ex-pected to be a close, tense matchup on seniornight at CATS, in Cheshire.
“It’s been intense because all they wantedto do is beat Southington, that’s all theywanted to do,” Yvette Mirando, formerSouthington gymnast and current Glaston-bury assistant coach, said of the tone at herteam’s practice leading up to the matchup.
However, the final tally showed that thedual was anything but suspenseful.
“We wanted to make sure we came outright from the start as strong as we could,”Knox said.
Finishing atop the leader board again forSouthington was Olivia Morrell (36.25) whocontinues to come on strong, registering thehighest score in the all-around for the Lady

Tough loss to end year will test mentaltoughness going into postseason
By Michael Guerrera The Southington Citizen
For theS o u t h i n g t o nboys basketballteam, after theCCC Tourna-
ment that started yesterday,only one more game is guar-anteed - the first round of theClass LL tournament. Andwith the brackets set to comeout Wednesday, Southingtonwill have to show its mentalfortitude now more than everif they want to keep theirseason going.
Coming off a draining, 59-53 overtime loss to NewBritain to close the year,Southington entered theCCC with a bad taste in theirmouths, but head coach BobLasbury had confidence inhis team’s ability to possess ashort memory and gain mo-mentum moving into thepostseason.
“We’ve had some othertough losses and each timewe’ve bounced back verywell and again that was themessage in the locker room,‘What are you going to do,put your head down, or grow

stronger from it, learn fromour mistakes,’” Lasbury saidafter the New Britain loss.
Against the Golden Hurri-canes, though, Southingtonshowed that they were not go-ing to be a pushover comestate tournament time andthat they can hang with thetop teams.
“We know that we can com-pete at a high level,” Lasburyexplained of his gritty team.“That was the message I gaveto them in the locker room:‘We certainly can play withanyone in the state,’ I felt lasttime we played NorthwestCatholic (17-3) we were asgood as they were.”
But on this night, it wastwo standouts from NewBritain, Darius Watson andSteven Glowiak, totaling 38combined points that sunkSouthington. Glowiak madea prayer three-pointer with53 seconds to go that went offthe backboard and in to tiethe game at 51 and send it to

“Whoever we play will be achallenge, we are true under-dogs (and) our biggest compe-tition is the first team we faceso hopefully we can get pastthat challenge,” DiNello said.
“We don’t fear anyone andwe respect everyone, they arepeople just like us and on anygiven night anything canhappen, that’s the beauty ofsport.”
The USA hockey team hasneeded one amazing game af-ter another from goalkeeperRyan Miller to keep them un-defeated going into the elimi-nation round of Olympicplay, so what is a necessity forthe Blue Knights to see suc-cess in the postseason?
“We must take care of theball, execute on offense, playgritty hard-nosed defenseand also have to reboundvery well,” DiNello said.“Contributions must comefrom all players in all aspectsfor us to have a shot.”

Growing pains for wrestlers come at wrong time

Senior Carmine Castiglione, wrestling here earlier inthe year, will be the only Blue Knight taking to the matat the State Open.
By Michael Guerrera The Southington Citizen
Things werelooking morethan positive af-ter day one ofthe Class LLstate wrestlingtournament last
Friday. Southington stood insecond place and a team thatwith so much youth exceededexpectations during the regu-lar season looked to be follow-ing along the same lines earlyin the postseason.
But on day two, it was noSaturday in the Park, toquote the great Chicago, andthings “all fell apart at once,”head coach Derek Dion said.
Southington finished ineighth place, but for a teamthat is perennially towardsthe top, this was an uncharac-teristic finish. Even more un-characteristic is that they’llonly send one wrestler,Carmine Castiglione (171-pounds), to the state tourna-ment.
“They wrestled tough kidsand we just weren’t at our
best that day,” Dion said ofhis team’s performance.
He was quick to note thathe didn’t feel his team under-achieved because, “In manycases we got beat by betterkids. They didn’t tank itagainst a poor wrestler.”
In fact, a discouraged Dionsaid that he was still tryingto figure out what happenedto his team, a problem thatmight take a little while to di-agnose.
“Obviously we weren’tprepared as well as we need-ed to be, but the techniqueswe used to prepare themworked in the past, so I can’t
say that there were incorrectcoaching techniques,” he ex-plained.
“Obviously, we didn’t getthe correct responses, so wemade some kind of mistake.What it was is going to takean offseason to figure out.”
During the year, Dion didworry that while his teamwas having success duringdual meets, a tournament-type meet would not mirrorthose results. That worryheld true.
“We don’t have a real tour-nament-type team,” Dion

Ski season wrapping up as Olympic skiers heating upBy Dave Mongillo
Special to The Citizen
We are comingto the end ofwhat has been agood racing sea-son for theS o u t h i n g t o n
High ski team. Some of theracers will go on to postsea-son events and a few willrace well into April, but as ateam the winter is over thisweek.
The Blue Knights havehad some surprising resultsthis season. The last race of
the high school league wasyesterday evening at MountSouthington. By next weekwe’ll know the final standingfor the local ski team.
Families that were onschool vacation had great skiconditions all over New Eng-land for the last two weeks.While the Northeast hasseen a general lack of natu-ral snow so far this year, skiareas have been in fantasticshape.
The investment most re-sorts made in improvedsnow engineering over thelast few years has been good
for skiers. The equipment isnice and looks impressive,but it does nothing withoutthe magic snowmakers workin the night. Thank youladies and gentlemen, for ahard, cold job, well done.
Skiers owe a big thank youand hats off to the crews whohave made that great, whitecover all season long.
I have skied five days overthe last two weeks and foundgreat cover on trails at everyresort I visited. 25 years ago,given the weather we’ve hadso far this year, we wouldhave used rock skis on fast
grass. Not so right now. Don’thesitate to use new skis. Aslong as you stay out of thewoods you won’t hack upyour equipment.
Impressive Olympicshowing
So far Vancouver has puton a great Olympics. Forwhat many thought was go-ing to be a disappointing U.S.Ski Team, the results havebeen nothing but fantastic.Medals are nice, but theyonly give three. Look at thetop fifteen in most events andyou’ll begin to see the enor-mity of the job Americanathletes have done.
When a team puts threecompetitors in the top 15 inalmost every race, you canbet the other nations are be-ginning to get worried. Theyare thinking about the futureof this or that sport andabout their own job. If youthink George Steinbrenner(owner of the New York Yan-kees) is tough, when the Aus-trian, Swiss or Germansdon’t bring home the gold,the coaches will be lookingfor new jobs.
We’ll know the totals nextweek, but for now the US islooking like a powerhouse inwinter sports.

The game went back andforth from there on out, butGlowiak and Watson ac-counted for 14 of the final 16points in the fourth quarterand overtime. TebuckyJones had a basket at theovertime buzzer.
“Those are two all-statequality basketball players,”
Lasbury said of howGlowiak and Watson per-formed.
On the flip side, TylerDube and Nick Defeo com-bined for 37 of Southington’spoints and Dube, 26, had like-ly the best night of hisSouthington hoops career.
“He’s just so fun to watchfrom the time he started theseason to where he is now,he’s even better than he wasat the start, so it’s exciting toknow he’s going to be back
next year,” Lasbury said ofDube.
Leaving next year in thefuture, the focus is now onthe 2010 playoffs. Lasbury ex-pected his team to bounceback in the CCCs, have fun,gain some experience andget ready for Class LLs.
“It’s a new season,” Las-bury said. “Obviously thebig one is the state tourna-ment where everybody’srecord is 0-0. We’re lookingforward to it.”

said of his group, attributingthat to a combination ofyouth and inexperience.
Castiglione finishedfourth in his weight class,while Southington got twofifth places from its senior-leaders Doug Fontaine (130)and Cory Seeger (140), aswell as a sixth place spotfrom Pat Hamel (125).
“Our two big horses, ourcaptains (Doug Fontaine andCory Seeger), I had real highhopes that we get champi-onships for them,” Dion saidsolemnly of his two hardestworkers. “But some days it’snot your day, but we felt ter-rible for those two guys tonot meet their goals.”
Castiglione will travel toNew Haven Athletic Centerthis weekend and have a goat the state opens.
“He stayed mentally toughthroughout the (Class LL)tournament,” Dion said ofCastiglione qualifying. “It’sgoing to be a tough weekendand a tough road, but (stateopen’s) a good experienceand I just hope he goes upthere and has fun and wres-tles his best.”
Again and again, Diontried to pinpoint what hap-pened, saying that his teamwasn’t “peaking as well aswe could have been,” and
WrestlersContinued from page 27
that “sometimes you justcan’t stop the bleeding,” butalso mentioned, “We hadsome hopes in there, butmaybe I was just lookingthrough rose-colored glass-es.”
At the end of it all,Southington will graduatesome talented wrestlers, butwill also bring a group ofkids that had success thisyear and will look to wrestletheir way back to the top in
2011.“A lot of young kids got
some really good experiencethis year and we’re hopingthey’ll work hard in the off-season and come back andfind a lot of success out there(on the mat),” Dion said.
For the coaching staff, fol-lowing the open this week-end, it’s, as Dion aptly put,“Back to the drawing boardand try to draw up nextyear.”

WinContinued from page 25
Knights this season, as wellas Toni Penta (36.20) and Cas-sidy Chamberland (34.50).
“(Olivia) had the potential,but it was hard for her tostart to put things together,”Knox said of Morrell’s per-formance. “Being her firstyear back from an injury lastyear, as the meets went on, weprogressed to higher stan-dards.”
Knox pointed to Morrell’sconsistency in the all-aroundas her greatest strength.
“Every event she’s method-ical about being calm, takeone event at a time, not worryabout the total all-around andas you can see, putting allfour disciplines together (isthe result),” Knox explained.
What the win does evenmore is give a young team alot of confidence going intostates, knowing they justbested possibly their tough-est competition.
“We didn’t want to make itclose,” Knox said of the bigmargin of victory. “Psycho-logically, we wanted to tryand put the edge back on theother team. (Glastonbury)sees all this hard stuff goingon across the gym and that’sa psyche-out in itself.”
While Knox thought histeam was better, the girlsnow have the reassurance be-cause, “It’s not just seeing iton paper, now we have some-thing to compare that too,”he explained.
An added advantage isthat the group of girls willnot be wide-eyed when theytravel to Pomperaug for thestate’s this weekend becausethey’ve been in pressure situ-ations.
Southington finished it’sdual season with an easy135.0-119.6 win over Wethers-field last Friday and has beensolely focused on Class L’sthe entire week.
When Saturday comes,Knox has no doubts his teamwill come to compete.
“I think we’re ready, wejust have to keep this mo-mentum up,” he said. “Wehave a week off and that’s al-ways a challenge, but we’regoing to do some differentthings in training this year.
“We’re going to train thema lot like I’ve trained the elitekids in the past, for oneweek. They’ll get a chance tosee what it’s like to reallyprepare to win.”
As for that run that ended
last year.“This could be the start of
another run,” Knox said witha smile.
Seniors honoredSouthington honored its
two seniors, Rebecca Miran-do and Lauren Bauchiero, be-fore the Glastonbury meet.Bauchiero has been in andout of the program in herfour years, joining again forher senior season and havingsuccess, while Mirando hasbeen a four-year member,winning the all-around titleat State Opens her freshmanseason.
“I’ve been in this gymsince I was four years old andto realize this is my lasthome meet, I can’t wrap myhead around it,” she said.
Editor’s note: Matt Leide-mer contributed to the article,“Layoff takes it toll on gym-nasts, but results the same,”published on Feb. 5.

Fedele said he started hisown business with “a phonebook, telephone and advicefrom my father.”
He talked about his expe-rience as a business owner.He recalled that he wouldstare at the ceiling late atnight with an idea, come intothe office early, have a con-ference call at 9 a.m. andhave the company reorgan-ized by noon. He said thingsare very different with thestate.
“Before I even talk about
anything I need to talk to myattorneys about what bar-gaining units I need to talkto,” he explained.
“Are we spending ourmoney wisely,” Fedele said.
He said “there is no ques-tion” that private providersoffer a better service thanthe state departments.
“I’m willing to gamble thenext election to do the rightthing,” Fedele added.
In his visits to soupkitchens and homeless shel-ters, Fedele said he has ob-served a common theme.
“What they want is a job,”he said.
He explained that govern-
ment should focus on what itdoes right, “growing oppor-tunity.” He pointed to thestate’s success in attractingfilm industry jobs and brin-ing international flights toBradley Airport.
“We can’t be everything toeveryone,” Fedele said. “Wehave to change the feel ofgovernment to the citizens.”
Chamber chairmanCharles Cocuzza askedFedele if businesses withless than $5 million in rev-enue counted as small busi-nesses.
“If you make a payroll,you’re a small business,”Fedele said.
He said he wants to helpsmaller businesses take peo-ple off the unemploymentrolls.
Fedele said agreed that theunemployment systemneeds to change.
“People aren’t really in-cented to find work,” he said.“There’s work out there.”
Fedele also suggested“dollar for dollar matching”with angel investors andventure capitalists willing toinvest in Connecticut com-panies.
“If you’re working you’rebuying things and generat-ing sales tax,” Fedele ex-plained.

Pending legislation may removeyour right to read public notices innewspapers, moving them from thepublic domain to the internet. We’reconcerned. And you should be, too.
Public notices are an important toolin assuring an informed citizenry.They have helped develop Americainto a participatory democracy forhundreds of years and where it countsthe most: how your tax dollars arespent, how policy is made and how
our futures are charted.They are located in easy-to-find
sections of your newspaper. And theyare fully accessible to everyone -unlike the internet, which is notaccessible to everyone.
Less than 10% of the U.S.population views a local, state orfederal government website daily,according to the May 2009 release ofU.S. Census Bureau, AnnualEstimates of Resident Population.
This means more than nine out often people may never see a givennotice.
This compares dramatically to thefact that 83% of adults read acommunity newspaper every week,
according to the National NewspaperAssociation.
Furthermore, a public notice printedin the newspaper produces apermanent record. The internet doesnot, nor does it assure timeliness.And a newspaper is archived foryears; not subject to computer crashesand hackers.
Newspapers are easily verifiable,fully transparent and represent asecure third party who has nothing togain from any notice. Connecticut’srecent ethical lapses shed a glaringlight on the full meaning of thisproblem. It’s like putting the fox incharge of the hen house.
Every public notice, which runs in aConnecticut daily newspaper, isautomatically uploaded to thatnewspaper’s w e b s i t e a n dCTPublicNotices.org.
Newspapers are your watchdogs.Don’t let that role be changed now.Contact your local representativetoday and voice your opinion.
