The Governor andNational Guard

Governor Wdllam O'Ncdl tooktime out lrom his admimstratlve andcampmgn battles last Thursday toreview the Connecucut National Guardin tbe midst of a mock battle at CampDrum in New York

I want the people ol Conn•cticut tounderstand what an outstanding jobour Natmnal Guardsmen do," O'Neillpraised the 1,645 men and women thatwere about half-way, through anannual summer camp trannng exercise

Each year, the incumbent governorreviews his troops on Governor's Dayat whichever camp they arc uttli/mg;this year Camp Drum near thePennsylvania border

Other years have seen Connect-icut's defenders at Camp Edwards inMassachusetts or. as was tllc case lastyear, Indian Gap, Pcnnsy'lvanm.

Part of the governor's review- involved a hands-on tnal of the wea-

pons asslbmed to the truup.,,While trying the M-60 macbmc

gun, O'Neill had a httle trouble hittingthe concrete "bunker" about a mac

All too soon, the order to "douseout your cigarettes" is given and thecrunching v,h•r of the landing gearsigmals the return of Bradley Airport

Broadcast reporters hustle to theircars to beat deadlines, while news-paper people slowly trudge to theiroverheated car interiors in a vlsablcsurrcndcr to the head and humidity ofthe day

No one was fooled by the plane'snumber, 747, into thinking the ancrentcraft, paint fading from age and a topspeed of 165 mph was going toprovide a luxury press jaunt

The first hint that the press corpswas in for an experience arose whenthe flight engineer handed out earplugsto block out the roar of the twininteroal-combustmn engines "Heretake these carplubu; and wear themagainst the noise "

About the size, shape and color ofa cigarette filter, the passcngcr• wereinstructed to roll them between thmrfingers until they compressed enoughto fit their ears They would thenexpand to block most ol the sound.

So much for in-flight interviewsA query, as to the necessity of a

five-gallon can of engine off elicited theresponse, "All of these engines use alot of oil, and there's nnthmg to worryabout"

Seeds from the sowerby Michael A. Guido

When Alexander, later called "the Great," beganpreparations for a mighty mihtary movement, he gaveaway his possessions. One of his men protested, "Youare giving away everything you have." "Everything,"replied Alexander," but hope.

There was another leader who had given awayevery•ing. But instead of wretchedness there wasblessedness. He said in Psalm 39:7, "Lord, my hope is

His hope was not in merchandizing. It is tragic for anation to lose its trade. But what shall it profit a nation togain the whole world and lose its soul?

His hope was not in matriculation. And education isessential. "But," said Teddy Roosevelt, "to educate aman in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace onsociety." The heart of education is the education of theheart.

His hope was not in militarism. There must bemilitary security. But if our spiritual security does notmatch our military security our nation will fall intohelpless obscurity. No nation falls without unless it firstfalls within.

His hope was in the Lord. Only he can solve our

Clothes make the man," says one. "A bird is knownby his feathers," says another. And our Lord Jesus isknown by His clothes that are descnbed in Psalm 45:8.

"All thy garments smell of of myrrh," stud thePsalmist. Myrrh was gwen to Jesus at H• birth and atHis death. It speaks of beauty and burial. His clothesbore witness that He who did not sin, died for our sinsA Jesus who s•nned could not have atoned for our sins.He is our sinless Saviour.

"All thy garments smell of aloes," continued thePsalmist," continued the Psalmest. This signifiesbitterness, and when Jesus came with the clothes of thisodor they spoke of His suffering. His the bitterness,ours the blessing; His the cross, ours the crown; His thedeath, ours the deliverance; His the grief, ours the glory

"All they garments smell of cassia," concluded thePsalmist. Cassia was used as a heahng balm. Itexpresses his healing power. There is none like Jesuls toheal the broken in heart, to comfort the lonely, to take theprodigal back home without scolding, to forgive thesinner, and to wipe away all tears.

De you have a problem you have failed to solve, or aload you have not been able to lift, or a need that hasbeen impossible to meet? Why don't you take it to yourheavenly Father.

The Bible teaches us that God loves, God knows,God cares, and God can do great things for us.

There is no common concern, no matter of food orclothing, no problem or pressure, no temptation ortrouble, that He is not interested in and is not at hand tohelp.

He is all-wise. He k•ows everything. He is all-wealthy. He can give anything. He is all-powerful! WithHim all things are possible. What a loving provider andprotector He is!

He is ever-present, never-failing, and all sufficlent.

There is a beautiful painting of THE SOWER in ourstudio. An artist made a copy of an old master and gaveit to us.

As I look at it today I was reminded that each life is amasterpiece. We are being copied• Long after we aregone we will be seen in the lives of others.

For good "or for bad we are influencing the lives ofour family and friends. They are being affected by whatwe are, what we say and by wh•t we do.

On every hand we hear people speakingpessimmisucally about the morals of the world gettingWOrse.

Dr.LeConche spoke of our"learning history vicariously throughbooks. If a book moves us to thought,even a bad thought, it's worlang," headded.

He brought up an example: "If thenon-Germans in the world had readMetn Kampf, they would have foundHitler's detailed plans.

"It is quesUons not answers whichkeep our mind alive."

Thus Dr.LeConche chose a timelysubject for his address to theBriarwood College graduates Sundayafternoon. He wished them well tn thefuture, but the message to read beaks,hopefully, will be remembered, andput rnto fruition. It will make thembetter and informed citizens. Andthat's the reason for an education.

Bank lobbyists: Sharks in three- piece suits

tcresl rates on credit cards lot con-sumers.

Robcrtson stud he'd love to seeRepublicans do tt, but admitted thebank lobby at the State Capitol was

"They're hkc sharks in three-pieceSUITS "

That's just a mild version of •hatthe b'ank lobby at the State Capitol hasbeen called by those who oppose andfear it.

I remember linCh, lOWing SenPhlhp Robertson, R-Cheshire and thepresident pro-temporc, more than ayear ago when Rcpubhcuns •crepreparing to mn the General Assemblyfor the first time in a decade Tbe topicwas a GOP agenda for the next t•oyears.

Robcrtson is an aggressive andcontroversial Republican leader Hcnot afraid to take on a fight and he hasbatded to make Republican pohc3 atthe State Cap•tol something thatsell to more than just tradmonalRepublicans.

He can also be candid After d•s-cussing a number of issues, includingthe budget and a call for deep tax cuts,we turned to the topic of reducing m-

"too damn powerful."But results did come this year. The

Republican leadership should be em-barrassed that a 15-percent cap, passedby the legislature on credit card financecharges, was pounced upon by min-omy Democrats. Republicans have hadthe votes for the last two years to sendthe bank lobby a message on creditcard •nterest rate charges, but theyfailed.

It took an amendment, offered byHouse Minority Leader Irving Stol-berg. to get the interest-rate reductionexpress rolling.

The legtslauon bypassed theGeneral Assembly's Bank Committee.Just as well it did. The committee hadample opportunity to give consumers abreak. Instead, it chose to make thebank lobby happy.

The move by Stolberg and otherDemocrats caught fire in the Repub-lican camp. They can spot a good issuein an election year, and voting against

lowenng interests on credit cards wasmore thanjust smart poht]cs There arethose lawmakers who enjoy sticking •tto the bank lobby; the amendmem tolower the rates was too good to be truefor many legislators.

While the bill lowers the creditcard rate ceiling from 18 to 15percent,some banks in the state havealready begun to lower their rates. Thatwas one of the arguments made bythose who opposed Stolberg's amend-ment. Still, Gov. O'Neillis expected tosign the measure into law. Not eventhe bank lobby wants to pressureO'Neill mto voting the bill dunng thiselection year

The Democratic move to amendanother bill points out that -- evenwhen a party doesn't have the votes --It can act in a way that the majorityhas to accept.

"The consumers have won one,"says Stolberg.

Nancy Johnson's Congressional ReportThe Connecticut Conference of

Municipalities tackles the problem ofeducation finance and teachers' salar-ies: The municipal perspective. TheConference is concemed the public isnot informed on the issues.

The CCM feels state actions toincrease teachers' salaries and toimprove educational quality should bein addition to -- not a substitute for -- increases in other state grants forlocal public education.

The CCM fears that this year the• increased state aid that municipalities

• need, to help cover the increased costsof maintaining education services attheir current levels, may not be forth-coming. Instead, feels the CCM, thestate aid will go for teachers' salaries"over and above those which alreadyhave been negotiated, and other pro-grams. Towns and cities then would berequired to fund, from property taxes,the hen's share of increased costs forexisting services.

The CCM offers suggestions to thelegislators as they meet in a specialassembly on this issue:

The legislation should include notonly state funding to further increaseteachers' salaries, but also adequatestate funding for the state's share elcontinuing currant education programs.

• Before any new state •nitiat•vesare implemented, local costs forexisting education programs areexpected to Increase by at least $116 2

m•ion.• The House-passed bill (which

had the governor's support) wouldprovide $33.3 million for existingprograms. Th•s compares to $18.1million under the governor's original

prnposal.However, this would still require

that at least $82.9 million be raisedfrom property taxes just to continueeducation programs at their currentlevels.

• Under the Senate-passed bill,$64.5 million would be provided forexisting education programs.

• The state surplus is expected togrow from the Comptroller's April 30estimate of $233 milhon to at least$268 million. That money can andshould be used to meet the fundingneeds of existing education programs.

The legislation should not disruptthe collective bargaining process.

Rather than mandate teachersalary levels, the state should providefinancial incentives to meet the state'sobjectives.

If a reopening of teachercontracts is to be required, it should belimited to teachers splaries.

The legislation should be enactedin a timely manner. Towns and citiesneed to know new 1986-87 revenuesand expenditures as soon as possible.

The CCM provides some food forthought on a highly sensitive andimportant issue facing the state. Whenit involves education, it's top priority

Connccucut's stake rs a majorreason why I have been working thclast two years on getting trade lawreforms and lmtlatlves onto the book•So I am pleased that componcnts ofmy National Trade Strategy packagewere included in the trade bill theHouse approved

What came out of th•s wcck'•series of legislative grappltngs arcsome long-overdue measures thatwould help the nation's indusmcs gohead-to-head with their over.seascounterparts. The trade bill rues toovercome trade barriers, toughen law,,

against unfair trade practices, andmake our government the parmcr •tshould be tn efforts tp keep theinternational playing field -- and •t•players -- on the level.

But w•th any sweeping legislationaimed at attackhng a sweeping prob-

lcm, the trade bill forged by the Houseof Representatives wound up bmng alittle overwrought So to keep it frombackfinng, 1 will press to make surethat on the way to becoming law theflaws arc worked out.

During the process, I went to themat several times for re.forms I believewould help industries and companiesin my district, and acros• the nauon,nsc above the tide of imports andoverseas competitors that have throat-

co-sponsored with a colleague. Thisbill cuts through red tape to help U.S.contractors trying to compete fairlywith overseas .ontractors whose bidsfor international projects are under-written by their host govemments.

There are other tmprnvements Iapplaud. Now the president must actmore swiftly on petitions for relieffiled by defense-sensitive industries,like Connecticut's machine tool andball bearing makers, whose production•apacaties have been eroded byimports to where they fall short ofwhat the nation would need during acrisis.

Now the US. Trade Repre-sentative, the country's top trade lawenforcer, has more power and moreclout when violations are apparent.Specific time limits would be set forinvestigations and retaltatory mea-

sures.Now there are penalties against

companies that dump underpricedgoods into American markets throughthird counmes for the sole purpose ofundercutting prices and garneringmarket shares here;

Now U.S. know-how and

have been from pirates wtthin.The bill also makes admtntstrattve

changes to speed actions and remedtesto counter unfair trade practices. Itprovides the president with authorityto launch multtlaterai negotiauons withtrading parmers.

Experts will be promoted Exportcontrols wtll be revtsed. When foreigngovernments target certatn U.S.markets for attack, defense to pro-ducers in those markets could come inthe form of subsidies or other favors;

It is understandable that seriousnational concerns, such as bflhon-dollar trade defictts, are likely tospawn legislative overreactton. Such tsthe case of an amendmentahat requtresAmerica's hottest competitors toreduce their trade surpluses by 10percem a year or risk the imposition ofquotas and tariffs.

This mechanical, unilateral -- notto say draconian -- formula is theworst kind of protectionism because •tvirtually begs for retaliation. Our con-sumers would get caught in the cross-fire, and to think that Connccucut jobswould not be jeopardized is to stickone's head in the sand.

'86 baseball Knights unsungTo the editor:

The 1986 SHS baseball

team was made up of inexper-ienced ballplayers. There wereonly three returning lcttermcn,and only three or four scmorsstarling at any one time.

You ask why? Who werethose players'• Where did theycome from "• Why didn't the sen-lors have more p,,•.aymg time '•

Only six "grimes mid theseason coach Fontana (John)demded to use sophomores and.lUmOr:, ,n place ol seniors

To be a scmor and sit onthe bench is (tough) Many olthe seniors had htde playing•e BuWiI ncvcrcame totBeSome quit and others stayedonly to play an •nnmg or two

After the middle of the sea-could see tlmt mor-

ale was down Fontana said itwas because of the atutude olthe players Alter losing a gameto New•ngton, Fontana stated,"What's really thsappomung me

is •t seems they (players) can'twalt until the season is over"

Fontana has said nothinggood about the team. Every-thing he stud was rather howbad they played or how dis-appointed he was, .

The Wilbur Cross gameshowed how he felt about theseniors. Only two played thelast regular game of the season.q•hat was the thanks the semorsgot lbr all the work they put inthe past three years

1 hope that the sophomoresand juniors that played th,s yearwill appreciate and think back tothe seniors of 1986

•tre year •s over now, thegood t•mes and the bad, thewins and the losses I say the'86 season was not bad, only a't'car of mhulldm,

Hm'`ever. because of a mis-print in the source book. the photo was identified as being from around1920. According to Russell Ellis. an expert on Milldale and the oldstreetcars (he lived in the neighborhood and his family ran the trolle)station), the photo was taken around 1914. Our thanks to him for clear-ing up things.

There are a large numberofgoodoffensively and defensively orientedathletes who were unable to participatein the spnng training dulls becausethey were members of the spnngvarsity teams.

The Southington High Schoolboys basketball team, which hastriumphed 11 times during the lasttwo seasons, is certain to wmconsiderably more than six games this

Since the 1985-86 season started,

the 1970's when the Blue Knightsenjoyed outstanding seasons underthen head coach Edward Nardl.

Th•s type of dedication will:eventually pay off for the Blue Knight]boopsters and we are certain that!Coach Lorenzo is well aware of it!and suppomng it

The fact that the Southington HighSchool girls tracksters came throughw•th three victories in their final fourdual meets of the current seasonproves that this sport is gaimng more

momentum than ever before.Although the Lady Knights started

with 75 candidates, many of thetracksters left the team for a variety ofreasons before the season reached thehalfway point.

The squad, however, maintainedits winning spirit because of thefantastic impact of the ninth graders onthe club

Since these mnth graders will bestudying at the high school in Sept-ember, they will form a strongnucleus for the future success of theLady Knights in 1987, '88, and '89.It is hard to believe that these specialmnth grade .athletes can take themeasure of competllltOrs who arethree years older.

It must be pointed out that theLady Knights have had a track squadfor only two seasons and all of theiropponents have fielded varsity outdoorgirls track teams for more than I0

In theirnnblermshed season, Southmgtonscored a whopping 308 runs, anaverage of over 15 per game And theymade it a common practice of sconngbig by plating 10or more runs a game12 times this season Four times theycressed the 20-run mark andsurpassed 30 runs three t•mes Theirhigh was 35 against Newlngton.

Defensively, Souflaington was justas sharp. They allowed just 12 runs allseason while recording 15 shutouts.And a big part of that defense was thepitching of junior righthander TracyClosek. This remarkable athlete hashad an absolutely brilliant season,pitching 127 innings and allowing justeight runs for a 0.57 e r.a. She gaveup 18 walks while stoking out 130.Tracy threw five no-hitters and hadtwo perfect games! Ciosek's beststrikeout total was 11 againstBulkeley.

"At the beginning of the season Ididn't think we'd go undefeated due tosome inexperience. But they workedhard and I knew we'd be good,"Southington coach Joe Piazza said.

Rounding out the top five in theEast Region are second rankedCheshire at 16-4, Windham (12-4),Conard 113-5) and East Hartford 114-6). Souflaington earned a bye in thefirst round of the playoffs. As th•sedition of The Observer went to pont,Southington took on Norwich FreeAcademy in a second reund game.

A win in that game would moveSHS into fine quarterf'mals on FridayThat game would be at a neutral s•teand also would be against a WestRegion opponent. There, too, form-idable competition awaits. The topthree survwlng teams, Holy Cross,Westhill and Naugatuck are all in at 18-2. Shelton also will hang tough at 16-4. Should SHS capture a win Friday,they'll move on to the semifinalsTuesday.

"I'm very confident. They'll win ifthey play the way they are capable ofplaying," said Piazza.

Cheshire winAs things turned out, it was a

battle between the two best teams inthe Class LL East Region.

And whenever two excellent teamsget together, you can almost bet thatanything can happen. In this case, itwas Cheshire coming perilously closeto ending Southington's winning

streak Alter all, they struck earlytaking a 3-1 lead at the close of thefirst But by the time the fourth inningwas history, so was Cheshire's lead asSIIS went up 5-3 on the way to a hardfought 6-5 decision.

"Cheshlre's a great team, and Idunk we're a good team. It was a goodgame right before the tournament and ithelps," Piazza added.

P,tchlng wise. it was a battlebetween Ciosek and Cheshlre's SueRybczyk. C,osek threw a five-hitter asshe walked but one and fanned two,allowing four earned runs. Rybczykallowed 10 hits, three runs earned andwalked two while stoking out four.

What hurt the Lady Rams were sixerrors wl•ch led to three unearned

"It was a tough game only that wemade it tough," Cheshire coach FrankKafka said. "I think both teams werereally nervous, but I'm proud of theway we hung tn there," commentedKafka.

Cheshire d,dn't walt long to make

their presence known. Singles byBetsy Glnz mud Jams Blandly cornblncd with a sacrifice by BndgeaeDaigle put runners on second andthird. A fielder's thrace by Rybczykscored Ginz with the first run andBlandly came home on Merethth Jen-nlng's grounder The score became 3-0 when Rybczyk scored on a,n error

Southlngton used the first two•nnlngs to begin their comeback scor-Ing single runs in each With one out inthe first, Jdl Pelrin walked, stolesecond and scored on Dcbble Dunbar'ssingle to right-center.

Singles by Melodic Johnson, .K.nsMach and Chris Zimmer immediatelyloaded the bases in the second. Lure-bra's ground ball got Johnson home tocut the Chesture lead to 3-2.

"I thought we gave up a couple ofearly runs but we hung tough.Johnson had a good game at short-stop," Piazza said.

Then came the big fourth inningfor the Lady Kmghts. Cheryl Bradleyled off with a walk and moved to

second on a bunt single by Z•mmer,Bradley went to third on an errer byRybczyk and scored on Lumbra'sfielder's choice. Zimmer later cameareund on Dunbafs base hit and AnnIngerson's miscue scored Lumbra withwhat preved to be all that SHS needed.

"It's always a challenge when weplay SHS. We may have gottensomething out of it," Katka said.

Southington got its final tally in thefifth to go up 6-3. Mach rap_•e_d adouble, went to third on Bradley s sac-nfice, and scored on an error.

Cheshire made flaings interesting inthe fifth. Ginz walked, moved tosecond on a wild pitch, and scored onBlandly's triple to center. Rybezykcontributed a single to make it 6-5, butfrem there on; Ciosek was in com-mand, retiring the final seven batters topreserve the wm.

Four players, Dunbar, Johnson,Mach and Zimmer, all had two hits.Dunbar ended up with two r.b.i.s andLumbra one.
