Gray said that a person must pay the taxes for the,town that the vehicle was registered in on October 1, Gray said the Department of Motor Vehicles set this guldehne and the town has no control over this. She said that although the town cannot get the bill to someone who has moved and left no forwarding address, it is the owner's responsibility to contact the town. Any payment not fulfilled by August 1, 1986 will be reportcd to the Department of Motor Velncles as delinquent. Once this is done the owner of a motor vehicle will be unable to rcgister. Gray once again emphasized that any one who was registered In Southington up to October 1, 1985 and has not received their tax bill must come into the tax office and pick rt up to avoid being labeled delinquent.

Fusee, who was nominated on Wednesday night by the Republicans to run for the 81 st Dtsmct for a second term, said "I think R chard Bozzutto knows how to count... (and Bozzutto has said) he has more than what he needs for the nomination." Fusee also said "a primary may be the most healthy thing that could happen".., if it's a fair primary... issue-oriented... the most viable Republican will be victorious." Fusee said that he has always been an advocate of direct primary. He said the present system of delegate selection was "archaic and antiquated." He said the "party bosses" should not decide on who wall be the "standardbearer" of the party. He sate the rank and file of the party should have this pnvllcgc. "Tile rank and fdc should v,a.."

3 The Observer, Thursday, July 24, S- ho--ooi-boa--gvdq-o g by Beth Utke staff writer Zaya Oshana, member ot.the c_'ommince charged wath fm&ng a permanent site for the Board of Education meetings, recently presented four proposals on the matter. Last week, Oshana told the full school board that possibilities available to the board included: renovating an existing building, finding space in existing schools, finding a site on town property or leasing private propcny Ṫhe committee was formed last month m response to a need to hold regularly scheduled Board of Education meetings at a site accessible to the handicapped According to a report filed by Oshana, the committee feels the followmg would have to be done if meetings are held in the Beechcr Street board room: One renovation plan would include a new door directly to the existing board room. Oshana's report stated, "installing a ramp to the ground level of the existing building would allow for the installauon of a new cx-!poor door to the board om. Lavatories would have io oc auoco aojaccnt to the board room at ground level Addiuon',d space should be added to board room to accomodate more visitors." Another plan would call fora new front entrance would be needed for the braiding According to the report, "A new cntr_ancc to the board budding that includes a ramp and the ej v_auon of the entry would allow accc',s to the board room at ground level Lavatories would have to be added adjacent to the.board room at ground level Addmonal space should be added to the board room to accomodate morn vis tors." Also cnn',ldcrcd would be to "install a ramp fromtnc parking lot to tfic lower ground level floor of the cx),,lmg budding, construct a board room and add lavatories adjacent to this area." Oshana reported the only space available in schools now is space at Central Elementary School and Milldale Schoool "Adequate space to install a permanent Board of Education Room can be found m two (2) locations at Central Elementary School Classroom space can be convened in the front portion of the school located nearest to the auditorium This area would allow for the full utthzat on of the clcctromcally controlled door and ramp adjacent to the Blcentenmal Auditorium. Suirab-te space w uld-also, be made av d?hip hy COllVCltlllg die ful]l-l...l ailti,..h,,, m,..aa G the former high school. This would require a Board of Education entrance at the rear of the school. Handicapped parkzng at this location may not be ideal " At Milldale School, "It is concelvable that Mllldale School would be used for educational purposes other than instrucaional "classrooms or programs. Any possibility of Mllldale School becoming a site for a permanent Board of Education meeting-, site is inappropriate at ttus time." Town properties O hana reported that while the Board of Education could consider locating a permanent meeting place on town property, the only area discussed was any "space available m the Town Hall or utlhzatlon of the former town hbrary " Leasing property "It was discussed that It is always possible that private property might be secured under a long term lease as a solution to the establishment of a permanent Board of Education meeting site," the report stated. However, the report also said, "No property was given serious consideration due to lack of reformation. The possibility of leasing private property is mcl.uded only so t would not be lonked upon as an oversight Ola l,he Members serving on this committee with Oshana arc school board members Richard Montague and Walter De noskl.

Another reason was that them were Seventh Day tnd Freewill Baptrst societies n some of tile nearby towns m Probably the biggest mason why other churches did not organize ro those early years was because o,,f the Connecticut statue that warned, Nor shall any person neglect, the public worship of God in some 'lawful" Con egation, and form themselves nto separate companies rn private houses on penalty of ten slnlhngs for every such offense each person shall be gmhty of."

Brennan dismissed a drunk-driving charge against a Vernon man. The dismissal came after aum formed state trooper refused to remove his revolver in order to testify in the case.

Certainly, it would be in the pubhc interest if he could act. It's simply a copout to leave individual judges to decide on beanng guns in the courtroom. The need is for a policy that makes sense -- one that all sides can understand and accept. That shouldn't be too much for the judiciary to handle, or too much for the taxpayers to expect. Feuding with the state police will only blacken the already-poor image of the state jud,ciary. Beyond that, Judge Brennan's action has reopened wounds in a criminal justice system that needs healing and leadership.

7 your p The Observer, Thursday, July 24, th e newspaper 7 Calendar House Dir. trea:tedbadly To the editor: In a recent news release it was pointed out that a program coordinator to be hired for Calendar House will earn morn than his boss, the director. This is absolutely unbelievable. Would our town manager hire someone at a salary greater than his? Would a pmstalent of a company appoint someone to a lesser position at a salary greater than his? I INnk not. Our Town Manager, Mr. Welchsel, says the Calendar House Director, Mr. Stephen Karp, "will be due a raise." When? He is due that raise right now and Mr. Weichsel says "there's nothing we can do about it now" as 'qt would be unfair labor practice." 1 ask, "unfair to whom?" Certainly not to Mr. Karp, because he surely is being treated anything but fairly right now. It is my understanding that the director of senior citizens' centers in several neighbonng towns is paid much more than the Calendar House director. Members of the Calendar House, and yes, the town as a whole, lost a good director two years ago because of a dcmal of an increase in the director's salary Now that we are fortunate in having another very fine director of the fin e,n senior citizens' center in the state, let us loam from past mistakes and,not allow the same thing to happen all over again. Proper steps taken in DUI case To the editor: Since I have been the President of R.I.D (remove intoxicated drivers) for the last two years I have received dozens of phone calls from all over northem Connecticut concerning poopor have lost loved ones to drunk drivers The first thmg they want to know is, what should they do. Some of these acldcnts are several months The very first thing to do is to get -in touch with a lawyer that is experienced m drufik dnvrog cases That is the most important thing to do the next day or as soon as possible. This gives him a chance to check all things out, the road conditions, skid marks, and all types of mca.surcrucnt, and many more little things that are not really little things, but very important things He can get pictures of the cars, things to do, that you could never imagine. Your lawyer will work for you harder than anyone else can, always with your welfare m mind. These are the things to do immediately You may have hospital bills to pay and no money to pay them with. Your in_ urance, and other _tmrsons insurances are all very important. Because of the accident you may be in the hospital very badly hurt, or even m a come, unable to consult anyone, or even family The party in the other car, who was intoxicated, had heirlmef time in court, probably plea bargained and was given a years probation and let go. By the Umc you are released from the hospital, there is nothing much you can do. Unfortunately, everyone doesn't kalow some one else who can take your place at a time like this. So now you are left helpless and very much m doubt and someumes with life yours-and the other one r tv o4,-there---long problems. -. arc pohcc reports and so many other Don't listen to your friends who Chadles L.

Markley by State Senator Joseph Markley A plan for our state's environment Envimmcntal concerns must be addressed at all levels of society, and according to the state Department of Enviromemal ProtecUon's (DEP) recently released "Envlroment/2000" plan, we can achieve a more clean and safe future by setting realistic, workable goals for dealing with modemday problems that adversely affect our natural surrounding. The DEP is now using tesumony offered in recent public heanngs to develop at 15-year master plan for effectively managing Connecticut's envimment, based on the proposals put forth in a preliminary document of Envimment/2000. A crucial element in this document is the concept of "stewardship," the perception that we are only t.emporary residents of this land and it s our responslbthly to preserve, protect, enhance, and pass on this rich, natural heritage we enjoy to future generations The rclauonshrp of ourselves, nature and fellow citizens serves as a theme as the plan comments on the state of our enviroment in four major areas, preservation, pollution control, resourccmanagcment,andgovernmental support services Within this broad outline, 38 topics are addressed, goals am set, objccuvcs are established, present status and past trends are recogmzed,and management strategiesarecreated -- which DEP proposes to achieve by the year The 38 topics cited within this ambluous document are recognizable Prime Time by Cy Brickfield concerns, among them, toxic water pollutants, endangered species, hazardous air pollutants, pesticides, hazardous waste, noise pollution, coastal resources, land use, drinking water supply, and environmental information and education -- a few examples of the diversity of enviromental issues with which face us hem. The far-reaching goals concerning these environmental issues address both state and local levels of action. Among local goals are the establishment of comlssions to preserve historical areas, the protection of oyster beds and the conservation of inland wedands -- another indication of the comprehensiveness of this report. Some of the state gorls include advocating nauonal and regional control to reduce sulfur and mtmgcn oxide-reduced acid ram and delegating state authonucs to inspect small quamty hazardous-waste generators. As the DEP prepares a final "Enviroment/20(X)" report, incorporating public vmws and op mons and serving as a model of cnv romental standards, it plans to yearly update the document to guide proposed legislauon, budget submissions and program implementations by the DEP through the General Assembly. Piecemeal approach It is time to abandon our current piecemeal approach to cnviromcntal legislation in lavorofa more clcariy defined, purposeful and objcctwe approach crucially needed if we arc to preserve and protect the fine quality of life we enjoy in Connccucut. "Enviromerit]2000" outlines a course of action for everyone, from the highest elected of ficial to the individual citizen Information on the "Enviroment/2000" report can be obtained from the state Department of Enviromcmal Protection in Hartford The number there is If you have any other questions about this or other state issues, please contact me in Hartford: Sen.

A bad case of flu kept Rose housebound for a few eeks, and, as a result, he was unable to do household chorse or buy groceries. Forunately, Rose lives in North Miami, Florida, one of two urban areas in that state participaung in a pilot program in which older persons volunteer to help other older persons. In so doing, the volumeors collect "service credits" for themselves or their spouse. Rose's service credit account was good, the result of many hours spent elping others. Rose cashed in some credits in order to get the help he need- d while sick. Another volunteer did his grocery shopping, prepared his dinner, and did some chores around the house, all of which made Rose's confinement less worrisome than it might have been. While Albert Rose and his story am ficuous, the program described is not. The Florida volunteer service credit program operates under the state's Department of health and Rehabilitative Services and is open to people over age 60. A computer keeps track of the volunteers and the credits they earn. besides North Miami, the program is also operating in Fort Meyers. In Reston, Virginia, a program called useful Services Exchange involves pcople of all ages. Unlike the Florida program, Useful Services Exchange is a membership organization. Members offer certain services, such as chauffeuring, shopping, cooklng, lawn mowing, carpentry, etc. They arc then matchcd w th another member needing those services A,, with the Florida program, crethts arc earned for wolk performed. In this period of rapid growth in the older segment of our population, these volunteerprograms are encouraging sign. Millions of our older citiznes live without close ties in their communities. While they are normally able to cam for themselves and can handle most household chores. Them are times when help is needed. When that help comes fi'om a neighborly volunteer source, it is doubly welcome. Perhaps your community would benefit from a volunteer help program for older persons.

Joseph L Lieberman Saving wla n you sell your home The real estate market r, hot Homes arc changing hand and pncc are skyrockctmg. If you are thmmng of taking advantage of the current market, there am some recent changes in the real estate industry that might help )ou when you sell your home A threeyear antitrust mvcsllgatmn conduclcd by my office has helped lead to a court settlement v, hlch should generate greater competmon among broker, trrd the terrors of the settlement, Realty B 9(ards arc now prolnbacd from mqtu ng or encouraging their members to charge fixed comm, mn percentage on rcstdcnual propcmc This should come as welcome news to Connecticut homeowners since Realtors will have to compete wuh each other on commls, ion charges in order to attract bus ncss The settlement also provides consumers wldl greater access to lhc multiple listing services that are,,o vital to selhng a home Realtors and multiple hstlng scr'.'tccs can no longer.discriminate against propcmc,, with low commission percentages Nor can they refuse a hstmg simply because the bomeowncr has a contract v, htch allows him to sell his own borne and to avoid the commiss on altogether, as long as that contract hmlts the number of listing agencies. In addmon, the settlement encourages greater compctmon among real estate professionals by forcing local Realtor Boards to pubh,dl hstmg,, Irofn out-of-town Realtors. In the past, local boards sometimesd relected home listings from brokers who did not have an office in their commumty. Now an.',' Connccllcut Realtor in good standing can join boards m other tov:ns and lrq homes m thc r multtple liming services without opening ol rices in cacti of those towns If you arc planning to sell your I ome, I offer the follov, mg advice. (1) Negotiate for Iox er commission tales v, hcn )ou are shopping around for a broker. Until recently, rate,; were more or Ics,, umlbrm Now the.,, should vary throughout the state. You may save vour,,clf thousands of dollars by hunting Ior the lowest rate (2) Sign an "exclusi',e agency listing" instead of an "exclusi,,e right to sell listing." When you give your broker the cxchislve right to sell your home, you o c the agreed upon commission even if )ou sell the house yourself. An exclusive agency contract means that ou only pay your broker a commission if he or she finds the buyer for )'our home Listing services may no longer discriminate against exclusive agency listings which permit the homeowner to sell his own home, so the tradmonal disadvanta to agency hstlngs has now been ehmmated. Knov, mg,our rights can save you subst:mtlal time and money when you go to sell our home The recent court sctdcment may change the way real estate brokers do business, but its pnnclpal benefit will be to those consumers v, ho know how to profit from the changes. And that's the law.in plain language Health Notes by Kirsten DahL PhD, Child Study Center mer: Home with children The end ol the school )'ear is an cxcmng umc Ior young children. In the bcginmng, the lack ol structure pleases them but the long days and the lack of structure can be a problem.

At the next Sunday evening at the Congregationalist, Miss Sarah Walldey, afterwards Mrs. Orsen H. Stow professed to have experience rehgion and it was reported throughout the town the next day that there was a young convert. Tlus seemed almost a wonder. A young peoples' meeting was called for that Monday evemng at the house of Mr. Samuel Pratt. "The house was crowded full and the fcehng was most intense. Many were strtcken under conviction for sin and called upon God for Pardon, and others were rejoycing in Christ as their Saviour at this meeting I, (Ebenezer), felt constrained to bear testimony of God's mercy to me, and then began to the hope, though feeble at first, that God, for Christ's sake, had adopted me as one of his sons.

11 Observer sports The Observer, Thursday, July 24, 1986 Observer swim meet-- 13 Golf roundup 12 Fishing advisory Out with the crowd by V.E. Takesian More dayiigh t, more play Opt,mism is running high that the Southlngton Little League championship round robin senes among the top teams tn the Northern, Southern and Wcstem Divisions will be completed in next year before the start of the state and the Town championship round robin series among the first place teams in each di,ision could start in late June It will be completed well "ahead of the Dlsmct 5 double elimination tournament involving three teams ament among some 15 all-star teams. Based on the fact that daylight Savmgtlme will officially take place at 2 a.m on the first Sunday m April instead on the traditional last Sunday in April, the South ngton Little League season could open during the final week m April instead of the first week m May. Bill Masci Due to the heavy regular season schedule of the throe divisions during the past several years, Southington Lntle league officials were forced to cancel the champlonstup series at least once because tt condieted with the Dismct 5 double ehmination Tournament. As a result, the town was without a Little league champion. Again this season, the Southregion Little League championslup series is delayed for a minimum of two weeks because of the District 5 Toume). For some unexplainable mason, Lmle league officials desm mg to complete the town round robin series as soon as possible decided to hold an open date on Wednesday, July 9. Had a game beeh played on that day, there would have been no mason for the two finalists, the Westem Division champion Elks and the Nonhero D vtslon title winrang Braves, to walt until the first or second week in August to meet in the deciding title game The Town Lmle League round robin series among the Southern Division champion Cardinals, Braves and the Elks started on Monday, July 7 and games were scheduled every night with the exception of July 9. The Elks eliminated the Cardinals by winning both games and the Elks and Braves split even their two-game home and home series. Because of inclement weather Sunday, July 13, the showdown between these two fine teams was postponed because the managers didn't want to risk injuries to their players. Some of the players were also members of their division all-star teams involved in the District 5 t6umament. With daylight saving rime updated four weeks in 1987, t makes it possible for the Southington Little League season to open one or even two weeks'xahead of this year. Subsequently the regular season would be completed by mid-june a representative from New aln,wallingford, Plainvllle, Berlin, Yalesvdle and Terryvllle. All of which means that 15 allstar teams will play m the toumament. The earlier daybght saving llme in 1987 will make it possible for many athletes in the town's Little League program to take deserving vacations w th their parents in Aug- These athletes am involved in the Little league from early April and maintain a daily schedule for more than 15 weeks In addition they malmaln h gtracatlcnnc - grades dunng the school year Theh' definitely need a rewarding vacatmn because of their 1 l-v,eck schedule. The carhcr start of the little league season will enable parents to schedule their vacations m August because they are assured the baseball season will bc over. Early softball, too Bill Masch rccreanon dlrcctor, is thrilled that da)hght saving time will be four weeks ahead tn 1987 because he dl be able to update the timetable of the Southlngton Men's Softball League "I will be able to start our gigantic Men's Softball League in mid- to late April mstead of early May and close the regular season in late June or the first week in July," Maser said Mascl points out that the players in the league want to play an 18 game schedule dunng the regular season before the playoffs. "It is especially hard for many players to play playoffs games m late July or early August because they want to take their vacations long before Labor Day" Mascl said. Completing a schedule for as many as 50 teams for 9 to 10 weeks is a time-consuming responsibility and Masc accepts it m profcssmnal style. It must also be po,nted out that some players am unable to play on certain days of the week and Masc has to consider th s proposal m finalmng the schedule. Often umes he pmnts, "It is mposslble, but we do our best ". There s always the poss blhty of future expansion as them are 50 teams t us season, points out the very busy Masci. The director of mcmauon has a dynamic daily schedule because Masci s involved with many organized sports in the community. He is called upon to check numerous complaints in the parks as well as ma,ntain many hours daily in his Town Hall office with a variety of detailed work There is no question we are all looking forward to the 1987 season because of the earlier daylight saving time schedule" emphasized Masci. We are certain that the earlier daylight sawng tme will be accepted with open arms by the hundreds of Southington athletes and followers. In fact the Southmgton High School athletic teams wall never be concerned w th their games being called because of darkness because they are in tough competition in early Apnl.

For these rain-forest spiders, sticking.together means behaving more congemally than thmr counterparts in the desert. The rain-forest sp ders hve more closely together, interact less aggressively, and even cooperate to build webs.

Uetz, a University of Cincinnati biologist studying the spiders in Mexico. Uetz's study is partly supported by the National Geographic Society. The unplanned peanutbutter-jar observataons led to research showing that a high degree of tolerance has evolved among these spiders. Uetz hypothesizes thatmetepeiraspidersinthe moist tropical rain forests space webs closely togethe,r because prey there s abundant. "Maintaining largertarofnorth-central Mexicorarely live in groups, most are complete loners There, prey is scarce and more spread out. Congenial Spiders Uetz's laboratory experiments have revealed that social spacing is more than a response to a spider's environment; it is genetically programmed. Under identical condntions in the lab, the rain-forest spiders settled down almost twice as closely together as the desert species. A third species, which lives n a semi-arid farmlands, positioned themselves In between. Uetz had set out in search of the farmland spiders near Mexico City However, on weekend spider-hunting trips he found specimens in the rain forest and desert that looked physlc ly similar to the farmlarld variety but acted differently. One day at a hotel near the rain forest, he saw a cleaning woman go after a colony web with a broom, scattering the spiders. Male Guards Females "In contrast to what would have happened in other enviroments," he says, "these spiders climbed on top of each other and formed a ball under a leaf, apparently with females in the center and males guarding them on the outside. Over the next few days they joined in rebuilding the hammock that says. probably would have hidden after such a catastrophe, and then turned to individual rebulldnng. L atcr laboralory stpdtcs-- revealed that coopcrauvc web-building apparently IS pan of the forest p der's genetic program. When put into a cage, spiders that had grown up m sobtude lmmedmtely clustered and budt a hammock together. Desert and ram-forest spiders show ntualnsnc combat bchavnor over web sites. By observing the spiders in a darkened lab m thmr acnve early-mormng hours, Uetz and students Maggre Hodge and Koran Cangnalosl have learned that rain-forest spiders may have four to five times more confrontations than desert spiders, but the confrontations are much less aggressive. Congenial Spiders The spiders build an orb, a finely engineered death trap with a circular hub and silken spokes radiating from it. Because the spider doesn't see well, it relies on web vibrations to detect prey, suitors, and intruders. Contrasnng behavior during conflicts over web sites reflects different levels of social organization in these species. When the deserr spider, sitting in the hub, feels a vibralaon on one of the web's spokes, it uses its legs to make a "locating pluck." If the intruder continues, a "threat pluck" is issued.
