Councilman Thomas Langdon answered that the provisions of Barnes' will are qmte explicnt and the town and the hbrary board are responsible for its operanon. Meade sand Tuesday although he thinks the museum is =an asset m the communky, he doesn't want the taxpayers or the town to be held hostage by the union or a 25-year-old will. He said part of the problem ruth the museum is enough people don't visit it. Meade said he'd like to see some items of general Southington history on display, not just a museum of the Barnes family stuff.

ANGELLLO LAND: EPA analyzing soil at old scrapyard Crews are continuing to clear brush from the former Angelillo scrapyard but officials from the federal Environmental Protection Agency say it's too early to tell when the cleanup project will be completed. The site is an abandoned scrap metal yard situated between BucHand Stl'eet and Old Turnpike Road. The 2.3 area is adjacent m two residences and an undeveloped lot. The late Edwtrd Pmgel ll O:Ollerated his scrap metal business from the late 1970s m around t reportedly was littered with scattered debris ch as tires, wood, metal scrap, cons acfion materials, car parts, and empty drums. EPA officials said they discovered drums of solvents, sludges, and paint wastes from v riuns' sources that were cleaned and resold as scrap. State authorities el;aim residual chemicals from these drums were disposed ofdirectly into the ground. Surface soils at the site are contaminated, according to the EPA, and a preliminary investigation prompted officials to place the site in an emergency planning situation. State and federal personnel walked the site last month to review conditions and discuss the schedule of removal activities. n mid-august, the EPAh contractor began surveying property lines and cleaning brash. To date, work crews have provided electrical power and water to the location and have begun laying out the sample location for a contamination survey. A total of 28 surface soil samples for lead and PCB screening have been collected. According to the EPA, Angelillo's property is part of his estate which has been determined to be insolvent. The primary contact is Mary Parent, executor of the estate. After making contact by letter to the estate, the EPA was norifled that it would not be able m provide financial removal funds due to insolvency. Therefore, the removal is proceeding as a EPA fond lead action. The enforcement case will continue to progeeas and the agency said it may identify and obtain information from otherpotentiaily respousible parties. By completing the extent of contamination survey, the EPA plans m excavate highly contaminated surface soils for off-site disposal. Residual, low-level contamination will be covered with dean fill. Disturbed areas will be restored m vegetative cover. The agency has reported that more than $850,000 of governmental funds will be needed to cleanup the site, CONSTANCE.

Amtrak is an essenrial part of our national transportation system, providing 22 million ntercity rail passenger trips per year to over 500 desunations n 45 states," Johnson sa d. n 1995, Congress and the admin su'ation both determ ned that Amtrak must reduce its reliance on federal funding, &recung Amtrak to operate without federal support by the year Without adequate f nd ng dunng this trans Uon period, Amtrak cannot make the investments necessary to survive independently," she said. Unfortunately, Amtrak will need an timated $4 billion in capital improvements by 2002 due to fonding shortages in the 1980s.

H1 $R:PORT Democrats m the U.S. House of Representanves filed a privileged resolunon last week calhng on U.S. Rep. Nancy L. Johnson, R-6th, and the Ethics Committee which she cha rs, to release the ino dependent counsel's report on Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Charlotte Kuskoff, Johnson's Democratic challenger, said, "As the disastrous Gingeich Congress comes to an end, this is Congresswoman's last chance to do the honorable thing. She can show the voters that she is not the ringleader of a Republican cover-up by voung to release the report." The report concerns allegations that Gingrich violated federal tax laws. Gingrich is accused of illegaliy diverting exempt funds from charitable organizations to the political activities of GOPAC, the Republican political action committee formerly headed by Gingrich. T h e charges against Gingfich were filed more than two years, and Johnson has been wide.ly criticized for stalling the mvesugation. t took over 15 months for Johnson's E e Co,'mn/ ro ap int hhc ind ndent counsel m thts case, as compared to past two months in the case of former Democratic Speaker Jim Wright in 1988 when the Democrats were the majority party. The independent counsel's report has not been in the hands of Johnson's committee for one month. Republicans voted to relect a privileged resohiuon that would have released the report Koskoff said, At the t me of the Wright investigation, Nancy Johnson was one of the first people to demand an independent counsel, and Newt Gingrich demanded that the report be released to the l blic. They were right then, and the Democrats are right now.

This is undoubtedly a story which interests The Observer's readers. But, what is it that makes thls front page ne s?

" CBA ENDORSES DANDROW FOR 30TH DSTRCT SEAT The Connecucut Business and ndustry Assoc atmn, the state's largest business orgamzanon, has endorsed the re-election of Ann P. Dandrow to the 30th Assembly Dismct. As co-chair of the legaslature's Program Rexaew and lnvestlgaoons Committee, Ann Dandrow has played a critical role addressing the issues that mpact small busmess and economic compeuuveness," sa d Kenneth O. Decko, CBA president and chief execunve officer. "n this role, she has helped improve the business chmate and create lobs. We need to connnue these mprovements and are therefore supporting the re-elecnon of Ann Dandrow to the 30th Assembly Das- Decko explained that the state's buslgess climate must continue to be mproved to create lobs. An mportsnt element of th s effort is controlling state spending so that taxes can be cut. This would allow businesses to expand and famdies to tncrease the*r income He added that more steps to ensure Conneeticut's future include improving the quality of pubhc education and restor*ng the econormc v tallty of our crees. The endorsement was made by CBA and its political aeuon committee which has more than 10,000 member companies throughout Connecticut. By their acno.ns, these three young men apparendy disphyed a lack of judgment and a total disregard for others. However, they have already begun to pay for this in many ways and will continue to do so for some time to come. Who hasn't taken poorly considered actions and made mistakes?

The Umt Way of Southingttm sponsored a Day of Caring winch involved numerous members of the Browne should be included in debate To the editon The decaslon by the Comrmsslon on Presldennal Debates to exclude all third party, candidates -- including Libertarian Harry Browne -- is a victory for the Republicans and Democrats, a setback for. merlcan voters, and an embarrassment to democracy. A small tribunal controlled by the Republicans and Democrats, meeting in secret, has dec ded what political *dens are suitable for 100 mdhon Americans to hear With this decmon, the Commission has disenfranchised the 40% of American voters who are not reg steved Republicans or Democrats; the 60% who embrace the idea of a new third party, and the 68% who say the debates should be open to all 50-state ballotqualified pres dennal candidates. Browne's 50-state ballot status, nanonal orgamzanon, proven fond-raising abihty, and cons durable medm attenuon earned h*m a place in the debates. Not surprls*ngly, Bill Clinton and Bob Dole refuse to protest the exclusion of their third-party rivals. Clinton and Dole are all for free and fair elecnons in Hain and Bosnia -- but not m the United States. The result of this decision is that the debates are bkely to be ted ous and devoid of new ideas. Chnton and Dole will argue over whether to expand the government by 5% per year, or by 3%; all the whde pretending that "the era of big government is over." The last thing Chnton and Dole wanted was to debate a candidate who would confront them with proposals to actually reduce government -- plans that would give us safer cities, better schools, higher incomes, and a more civil society. The real loser wall be the American people -- who will suffer under four more years of bigger government, no matter who wins" the debate or the elecuon. Carl E.

Urillo, secret y/ueasurer Kenneth DuVlauro, family living echmr Advertising & Circulation PO. k $48, 213 Spnng Su'eet Southingnnh CT Telephone: (860) EDTORALS Term limits overdue After reviewing some of the lengths of time that some members of _rious m,micipal boards are serving, it might be a good idea to consider term limits. Talk of putting a time limit on dected or appo'mted terms is nothing new. t's been argued that senate and congressional representat/ves be limited to four terms. Locally, some boards and commissions have members who have rved three and more terms Appointees to these panels should not mrve more than two successive five or six-year terms. While we're on the subject, after Town Manager John Weichsel ager without at the very least, examining the possibility of restricting that position to a maximum of two, 10-year contracts or a total of 20 years. t is extremely rare to have a public official enthusiastic about his responsibilities after long periods of time. There are too many citizens out there who wouldn't mind serving on boards and commissions -- if they knew they had a chance to be appointed. The old argument that volunteers aren't readily available isn't always true. People will come forth if they know there are opportunities to serve on commissions and boards that are in need of new faces and fresh ideas. Many boards and commissions become stale because members won't resign. They use their political connections to stay on and the' s mbeco.m.es ineffective. The purpose, of municipal app.oint.ees an,d those elected ts to serve and oversee specific departments, Le. r par-, board, oliee, fire, housing authority, libra,, zoning, building committees, conservation, and schools. Too often, leadership is stagnated by the impulse to avoid ext meetings and paperwork. Also, there is a tendency for long-term members to avoid being critical of departmental policy because of established friendships with the director or administrator. Ten years is long enough for someone to have input on a municipal panel. There are elected officials who should not exceed 12 or 15 years on the job. They get too comfortable. They get complacent. f they are competent, they will have done their job for the people. Longterm incumbency does not promise or guarantee excellence. As for the town manager, 30 years is regarded as excessive and next month, Weichsel will have been Southington's top administrator for three decadeg. He's finished navigating the ship; he's ran his race and plowed his field, so to speak. n plain English, the town can not afford to be administered in the future by contracts void of rime constraints. Weichsel's eventual replacement will have to know that he'll be paid well and will be expected to devote his entire attention span to Southington. But it should be an accepted fact that the 6ring details of guvernmental bureaucracy can erode energy and enthusiasm a lot sooner than 30 years. A double standard School administrators and the Board of Education must consider revising a policy that appears in the Southington High School student-athlete/ parent handbook which allows student athletes to confinue playing sports even if they've been arrested during the season. Currendy, the policy allows players to remain on sports teams if they've been arrested during the season but the activity that caused the arrest took place off-season. The current policy is now being used to allow a football player, who was arrested in late August, to remain on the team because the event that caused the arrest occurred in July -- off-season. Student athletes are almost encouraged to commit crime and not suffer any penalties on their team as long as it's not done during the season. This leaves a bad taste in our mouth to know that three football players were thrown off the team for committing a crime and being arrested during the season, while another player was arrested but is still participating in football. s the offense any less serious because it happened just weeks before the start of school? We don't agree and this sitoadon might shed some li,,hr nn thi ill-advised oolicy-- student-athlete handbook or not. " a ' chers and dther who have said that it's unjust the three students have been removed from the team and their names shouldn't have been written on page one obviously didn't have their p perty vandalized, or windows of houses and cars broken. f they did, maybe they wouldn't be so quick so justify the behavior of the students. Furthermore, student athletes are expected to set examples for fellow students. These cases illustrate a need for policy revamping. before the end' -the football season -- and the removal of tms double standard. SECOND LOOK you Be quiet & may hear an election f you put your ear to the ground, you might just hear the election of What election? You mean President Clinton vs. Bob Dole and Ross Pemt? Fusco and Dziedic? Cclapiemo and who? shouldn't poke fun about the absence of political thunder as October comes upon us. The election is five weeks away and the public has yet m hear anything from three state representatives and two state senator who represent Southington citio But, what the public is seeing... or not seeing, is result of baying too many lung-term incumbents in office. State representatives Angelo Fusco, Ann Dandrow, and Dennis Cleary are virtual icons for the area Republican plrties. Combined, their total terms are more than 14 which translates into X8 years. Has the inrumbent jukebo= :-an at of F _xse Dandrow god Cleary can ford m wait until the final two weeks to.spend money, pass out literature and send out campaign statements. Their challengers, whoever they are, have yet to make a stand. All in all, tt's another boring off-year election. Since everybody has predicted another Clinton v ctory end since nobody around cares if Ed Munster really can beat Gejdenson after three tries, Nov. 4 could just be the day offer Monday and the day before Wednesday, Nov. 5. The only Southington excitement could be a special referendum question about the Superfimd landfill bill. Now, there's something that will generate a few trips to the polling places. State Sens. Steve Somma and Tom Colapieu'o are incumbents with relatively unknown opponents. Since both represent limited parts of our town, don't expect to be pestered by either of them. THE REMATCH OF "94 The banging of the drums seems to be coming from the Charlotte Knsknff campaign tribe. The likeable lady from Plainville picked herself off the ground two years ago when Republican Nancy Johnson ripped her apart with : 63 percent phiraliry landslide wm m the Sixth Congrcseaonsl District. But Knskoff s back and is intent on gi 4ng Johnson the public aware of jut how powerfol and wealthy an incumbent congressperson can get after years in office. skoff s an intelligent woman who exh nsts herself to the point when she must wonder why voters in the 44 towns 'H s ibe DO CQ '"" ' jukebox run out of songs?' just can't seem to disengage themselves from Johnson- Yet, it should be no wonder why the smiling Nancy Johnson wins. She, like so many female politicos, is a virtual charmer. Johnson's crack staff is loaded with savvy professionals who know they can rely on Johnson's loyalty and influence down the road. And, let not forget that Johnson is now among the most elite and powerful Republicans in Washington. That makes her a national celebrity but also vulnerable. 've come to admire Kosknff for her wit and de&cauun to what she has set out to do. A smdions challenger Kmlmff is, but to defeat Johnson, it takes money, money, end a delicate issue. Johnson has the money. Koskoff is far offw th the dollar Johnson gets basic flee mailings to her constituents. Kmknff doesn't. Johnson can afford irrational spending now and then with a $160,000 salary. Knsknff is on leave from her teachmg dunes at a s ate college. The liberals have taken Johnson to task or her support of Newt Gingrich. The conservatives clmm she too moderate. That's what Johnson has excelled in office for so many terms -- she keeps ers off balance and gnessmg. Koskoff has been highly visible m Southington during the pas three yea Voters here should appreciate that a challenger has to visit 44 towns in order to men gain the media's respect. But the reality is that Johnson's popclarity, albeit sagging at times, remains strong enough to win another term. goskng however, is hardly x an attracnve, nmve, mtelieet trying to bee me another also-tan. Koskoff's motive may be to s atde Johnson's once puritan image. After all, the Democrats in W agmn would love nothing more than a Johnson defeat boz would serde for a narrow Johnson victory. By tarnishing the 14-year incumbent Johnson and the Republican rainbow in the 6th District, Knsknff can merge as a sort of 'Brsvehcart" -- not a conqueror but parent for "the oppressed." She lite - ally could win with a loss. Political people like m look far into the fomre and well beyond today's decnon. Knsboff could be the Democrat's choice for ernor in a fe years if she manages to damage Johnson. Somma's plan to crack down on juvenile crime By SEN. STEVE SOMMA Sen. Steve Somma, R-Waterbury, announced that he plans to seek forther legislation in the war on come this year. With the support of Sen. Thomas Tim" Upson, chairman of the Juchciary Committee, Somma sa d he has devised a three-pronged approach to bringing juvenile crimes down along w th the overall crime rate, which dropped this year. Ve passed legislation over the past two years that targeted adult crimes and brought the numbers down, Somma said. But juvenile comes are stall increasing. We need m change that, and plan m introduce legislation to that effect. l)eliminate parole for violent gang members in iail t makes absolutely no sense to put a violent criminal back on the streets," Somma said. While we cannot act as parents, once a criminal s within the instlce stem, it's our responsibility m make sure the punishment, designed to fit the crime" is carried OUL Those who need spee al considerauon can snll apply for youthfol offender status or aecalerated rehabilitation, but for those who have commttted violent crimes, special consideration should no longer be an option." 2)Huldtng parents more accountable for the aenons of luvenile chtldren. Aceordmg to the law, parents are responsible for children until the age of 16," Somma sa d. Parents should, at the very least, be reqmred to perform community servtce actiwties w th the chtld, either on the weekends or at mght" so that not only is a pumshment enforced on the child, but t is re rerated to the parent. t also provides the opportunity for parents and chddren to spend time together, which is something these children can benefit from. 3)ncreasing penalties for bringing ANOTHER VEW / weapons to s : ool. "Some students have used the: argemerit that they needed to bring a weapon to school to feel safe," Somma said. "That issue s something we have to address as part of a larger problem, obviously. The fact remares, however, that we must do everything we can to keep schools safe. Children should not and do not need to carry weapons to school. Children are killing other children and it has to stop. Different schools have different policies on this issue right now. We need m have a storewide policy, so that children who mo e, or attend different schools for whatever reason know that the basic rules and penalties are always the same. No weapons in any school in Connecticut, period." The main thrust of the plan is to reduce the number of juvenile crimes, but n is also to give some of childhood back to children, he said. Connecticut is gambling on Connecticut By BLL COLLNS 'm not sore whether it is refreshing or unnerving to realize that Connecticut is not alone in its dependence on gambling. Conflicung figures in the New York Times and the Associated Press both put Massachusetts ahead of us in annual lottery sales. The Times says Minutemen and women bought $466 per person last year;, AP pegs it at $77. We do know that in our state, Derby leads at $396, while Woodstock trails at $. That mchides infants. Some of those numbon are simply beyond belief.. But the salient difference between our two states is that Massachusetts is worried about those numbers, and we're not. They cut their lottery advertising. We've raised ours. Luckily, states are e - empt from federal truth-in-adve.rtising laws, so aeither of us has to talk about odds or addiction or any messy information like that. But there are a few things we desporately do need to talk about among ourselves. One is, what happens when neighboring.states begin to enmpeto with us for casino dollars. Another is what happens when a profitable form of gambling goes out of fashio.n. A third is what happens when gambling screws up people's li. Massachusetts, for example, is getring sick of all its potential casino revenue bleedmg to Connecticut. One smcb/ found that 33 percent of the cars and buses at Foxwoods were indeed from there. Only 29 percent were from here. That-may soon lead to one new casino n New Bedford and another in Springfield. There is also a casino battle royal going on in Rhode sland, which accounts for 14 percent of those cars. They'll also build one bye-and-bye. As will New YorL What then? Other parts of the country have already been through that pare. The Mississippt River, from Minnesota to New Orleans, is littered with fmled river boats and bypassed casinos. No, Foxwoods isn't likely to fail, but its revenue ts likely to shrivel. Then, so will it jmey payments to the state. Other state gambling has failed already. Hartford and Bridgeport jai once viewed as fiscal saviors, are both gone, and the Bridgeport dog track is close behind. t's bankrupt. Here's what Mayor Joe Ganim said about it last year when it opened, This is a sign of many great things to come and,s just the start.of what Bridgep r is capable of provido mg to the regiun. Let's hope not. Worst of all is the impact of gambling on addicts and their families Formnately not many follow the lead of Laura Grauer of Stamford. She recently d wned herself after a bad bout at Foxwoods. Others destroy themselves and their hn more qmedy. The agreed share of Americans who have overindulged on gambling is 6.3 percent. That comes to about 160,000 Notmeggers. How many of those 160,000 are mffermg a problem right now? We don't now. They don't wear emblems, or stag get when they walk. No one knew about Joan Berdsley until she held up a bank in Woodbridge. She was 63. Most addicts simply squander the grocery or the rent money. Those who live alone can do it privately. Those with families carry others down with them. They tend to concentrate m the blue collar and lowermiddle income ranks. But, not to worry. This same data tell us that 93.7 pert nt of us gamble safely. We may learn still more when the new federal gambling commission reports back. On the otherhand, we may not. Too much casino money is going into politics these days to depend on anything from Washington. Steve Wynn has rustled up $1 million for Bob DUl all by himself, and the Pequots are giving, to both sides. So are the other gamrug mo So with ll bigger h e now in the works for the lottery, and a new casino coming to Montville, Conn., we may soon reach the apex of its gambling - enue. You know whete it goes f om the.

Volunteer Fir fighterfred Otralagana said 50 firefighters were involved tn putting on the fund-raising effort "Everything is going well," he explained as he d the line of people going out the door. He estimated that $4,000 had been raised a few hours into the benefit to help the Bigga' famt y with soaring medical costs. Ottolagana satd the community really came through to help, with most of hems at the breakfast donated by businesses and individuals. Ardelle B. Pelletier, prestdent of the Village of Planmville Association, said the firefighters are very community-minded. "They are fabulous. have a high admiration for what they do," she said, noting not only are they helping the Biggs family, bm have assisted efforts of the merchants assoclarion in downtown Plantsville. Leonard Hudak, member of the Board of Fire Commissioners, purchased a d ket and stood in line for a plate of pancakes. "The fircfightars do a wonderful lob. 'm extremely proud," he smd.

At a recent Town Council meeting, Tuccitto asked the legislative body to replace Blamer, a part-rime health director, who has a private practice in town, with a full-rime environmental health expeax to serve as director.

The 98 percent increase as $14 higher than the state's mandatory mmtmum fine for illegal parking in teserved spaces. Since state legislanon leaves enforcement of the law m the hands of local pohce departments, the fines vary from town to town. The average fine for the violation throughout the state is $116.

The Hurricanes have been replaced as the Blue Knights opponent on Thanksgiving Day by Cheshire. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. New Britain opened its season with a 55-6 win over Windsor but were demolished h] Simshu last Friday, Last year, SHS lost to the Hurricanes, 12-10, on Fontana Field. Other problems highlighted last year's game besides football. The game played second fiddle to the debate over the NBHS marching band. New Britain High's well-known marching band was not allowed to perform at halftime on the local field. Local officials stated there wasn't enough time at intermission m allow the visiting band to perform. "We have New Britain coming up and that's what we're preparing for right now." said SHS coach Jude Kelly. "That's always the rival game for us. Our new style is a philosophy on offense and the kids are starting m get a feel for it. Ve're still learning and as long as we stay w th it, we'll get better." Junior Quarterback Hank Papule finally found his mark in Friday evening's game as he connected with 13 of his 26 attempts to bnng the wstung Southingmn High School boys football team the first win of the season over East Hartford, The 26 aerials weren't as much as the opener, but it showed that the Knights are content to stick with a passing attack on offense. n the non-conference game at the Edward T. Knurek Memorial Field, SHS took cnntrol of the ball r ht from the beginning of play. n their run-andshoot plays, Papale filled the air with connections that unul Friday, had been off the target. "We certainly made some improvemerits from the last couple of weeks and that was our objective," said Kelly. "East Hartford played us very tough. They have a greatly improve. foothall team especially over the last couple of years t was a good game." The Knights started out scoring when they blocked a punt in the EH end zone for a safety which gave them a two* point lead. Mike Albanese pounced on the ball when it was fumbled by the Hornet's Kuwan Wright EH's coach Bob Tiguo questioned the play as he said t was out of bounds But the lead didn't last long when the Hornets QB Jon Fernandez zeroed tn on Chris Collins who ran fm a 30 yard TD. Southlngton came hack when Dave Hrggs ran for six yards to bring the Knights to a halfnme lead of 9-6. The play gave SHS an advautage and they dro e for another Htggs TD from within six yards out. The Knights displayed outstanding play on both sides of the me. The oflense executed their plays and the defense was sharp and stand'. "A bad call by the official on a lackoff didn't help, said Tigno We were nnsslng our starting tailback and fullhack and they go both ways so we went with two sophomores in the backfield. think we did pretty good."
