Day care approved at former St. Dominic School

St. Dominic Church will turn its former school into a day care facility for up to 60 children.

St. Dominic and St. Thomas combined their parish

schools to create Southington Catholic on the campus of St. Thomas, the larger of the two.

St. Dominic received ap-proval from the Planning and Zoning Commission last week to convert the school to a day care.

Commission Chairman

Michael DelSanto said the school’s application for a spe-cial permit was unanimously approved.

The day care can’t have more than 60 children, ac-cording to the approval stip-ulations, and the hours of operation are set from 6 a.m.

to 6 p.m.DelSanto said the change

of use from a school to a day care required a special per-mit. The church is also look-ing to modify the campus, as well.

“They want to move some things and add some plumb-

ing,” DelSanto said.Southington Catholic

opened this year and is led by Mary-Pat Wirkus, the former St. Thomas School principal.

The faculty is comprised of teachers from both schools.

Proceeds from the Southington Education Foundation’s annual fundraiser planned for this week will help start a science program for students involving a local college.

Foundation Chairwoman Jan Galati, said she couldn’t release details since the deal is still in the preliminary stages. The intent is to give students more educational opportunities in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

“STEM has been a focus and goal for the or-ganization,” she said.

The foundation’s gala is scheduled for to-night, Sept. 25, at the Aqua Turf Club.

Galati can be reached at 860-628-0279 for questions about registration or business sponsorship.

For ty-seven years ago Southington hosted the first Ap-ple Harvest Festival on the Town Green and Art Secondo was one of the people who helped start it.

The festival was small at first, featuring a few booths and some food. It has since grown im-mensely and attracts between 100,000 and 200,000 people during the two-weekend event.

This year Secondo, former president of the Southington Chamber of Commerce for the past 12 years, was unanimously chosen as the grand marshal for the Apple Harvest Festival Pa-rade by the festival’s supervisory committee.

the Apple Harvest Festival. It’s like the full circle,” Sec-ondo said.

Community service and festival involvement are two of the criteria that the super-visory committee seeks in a person for the grand marshal, said Chris Palmieri, the co-chair of the committee.

“He’s been part of the fes-tival with the chamber and the business expo tent. Aside

from the chamber, he’s been involved in numerous civic groups, park board, Town Council…” said Palmieri. “In his role at the chamber, (Sec-ondo) always did a great job of promoting the festival for us with all the chamber mailings. He did whatever he could to promote the festival.”

Throughout the years Sec-ondo has been very involved in the town.

He was a restaurateur, worked as editor of the Southington Observer and served on the Town Council. Secondo recently departed from the chamber as presi-dent and took a job with the New Britain Herald.

He owned the Hall of Fame Lounge from 1978 until 1992.

While Secondo has done a lot in the town he loves through the years, he said be-ing voted parade grand mar-shal was “the highlight of (his) community service ca-reer” and one that he can’t wait for.

He said he’s even picked the car he will ride in, a 2013 Chevy Camaro convertible.

Secondo “and the cham-ber were the first initiators

of the Apple Harvest Festi-val. He has given his heart and soul to the Apple Har-vest Festival over the years and prior to the town taking it over,” said Victoria Tri-ano, a member of the Apple Harvest Festival supervisory committee.

“Upon his departure from the chamber, we thought it would be very appropriate to honor (Secondo) that way. I’m very pleased and very happy that he accepted.”

Now, Secondo is looking forward to being part of the Apple Harvest Festival in an-other facet. He said he will “feel like the mayor” for the day and is humbled by the decision.

“After a while you think about being at the parade on the sideline and seeing peo-ple and the grand marshal and you say ‘gee, what an honor that is,’” said Secondo. “It will be my honor for a cou-ple hours that day.”

The Apple Harvest Fes-tival will take place on Oct. 2 through Oct. 4 and Oct. 9 through Oct. 11.

The Apple Harvest Festival Parade is on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 2 p.m.

Kennedy Middle School students were evacuated Thursday, Sept. 17, after a wa-ter leak flooded a hallway.

School Superintendent Timothy Connellan said most of the water was cleaned up by 10:50 a.m. Classes were briefly disrupted, but were back in session around 10 a.m., he said.

“This mostly affects two sixth grade teams, but there are other spaces and class-rooms that are being recon-figured in order to provide good instruction,” Connel-lan said. An automated mes-sage sent to parents at 9:42 a.m. stated classes would be resuming. “Clean up is pro-gressing rapidly and most classes will be assuming their regular schedule.”

Connellan went to Ken-

nedy after learning of the flooding. It was likely caused by the school’s heating and cooling system, he said.

A multi-million dollar ren-ovation project was recently completed at the school.

Gala

The gala is the foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year and will include a live and si-lent auction. Items include a basketball signed by Geno Auriemma, theater tickets, a one-week timeshare and a ski weekend on a private moun-tain in Vermont. Galati said most of the items for sale are donated.

The evening is sports-themed and guests can show up in their team’s attire.

During the past six years the foundation has awarded 55 grants to Southington schools according to the group. The foundation do-nates to Southington High School’s CyberKnights team, a science program at Camp Sloper for fourth graders and student scholarships. Last year the group also provided art education to third-graders through a part-nership with the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain.

Brian Goralski, Board of Education chairman, praised the foundation’s work.

“They’ve provided op-portunities to students that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do with our reg-ular budget,” he said. “It’s one of the biggest organiza-tions supporting our mission of educating kids.”

The group provides grants to individual teachers or groups of teachers for enrich-ment activities that go deeper than the usual curriculum. Goralski said those are help-ful but he was also pleased that the foundation was cre-ating programs that benefited whole grade levels.

“Those allow every student to grow and learn,” he said.

Goralski urged everyone to attend if able, saying the eve-ning is a fun time in addition to a worthwhile cause.

“This organization touches the lives of most if not all children,” he said.

Galati said last year’s gala raised $25,000 and attracted about 250 people. She was also pleased at the number of businesses who support the foundation.

“We really appreciate the businesses that provide spon-sorships,” she said.

From Page A4 Mary Rose remembered

The past seven years, Pe-ter Montana, a Southington resident, has been holding a golf outing for business as-sociates. For the past five, he has used the outing to raise

money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

This year, those funds will be generated in honor of Mary Rose Faith Di-Minno, an 8-year-old girl from Plainville who passed away in January, 2013. A first grade student, Mary Rose died from com-plications from sei-zures affiliated with epilepsy. Mary’s fa-ther, Kevin DiMinno, praised Montana’s e�orts.

“Each year Peter picks a special person to honor and each year he runs the golf tournament and donates ev-erything to St Jude’s,” he said. “He and his family are by far the most caring people I have ever met.”

This year’s golf outing, which includes a dinner, will be held Saturday, Sept. 26 at the North Ridge Country

Club in Southington.“We have 121 at-

tendees for golf and 127 for dinner. I ex-pect we’ll raise be-tween $3,000 and $4,000,” Montana said.

Montana said he picked Mary Rose to honor this year be-

cause his daughter is friends with one of the DiMinno’s neighbors. “She saw the story on Facebook and mailed it to me. And here we are,” he said.

School

St. Dominic’s school had more than 100 students in el-ementary grades.

The Rev. Ronald May said one of the four former school buildings will be renovated to accommodate the daycare.

While it’s not the largest building on the campus it has a crawl space beneath to al-low for easier installation of plumbing.

May said there are a num-ber of state requirements for daycares including a mini-mum number of toilets and sinks per child.

Children from babies to

3- or 4-year-olds will be enrolled.

“It’s a good service to the community,” May said. “It’s a good use of the building.”

He hopes to open next year and already has people inter-ested in running the day care. May didn’t give a specific date though since there’s still per-mitting and work to be done.

“Hopefully we can open sometime next year,” he said. “It’s hard to say when.”

The three other school buildings are used by the classroom for meeting space.

May said there are many parish groups that were look-ing for classroom-style areas.

Theriault named Legion presidentROCKY HILL — The

American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Connecti-cut is proud to announce the Department O�cers for the 2015-2016 year.

Members across the state joined together at the 95th Annual Department Con-vention to install their new o�cers. The ceremony was

conducted by 2014-15 ALA National President Janet Jef-ford who resides in Con-necticut and is a 46-year member of the American Le-gion Auxiliary.

Madam President Georgia Theriault is a 20-year mem-ber of the Brock Barnes Unit 33 in Plainville. She became eligible under her father,

George Houstrup, who was a World War II veteran.

“I care about what we do and who we do it for. The passion for helping just keeps growing,” said Theriault, mother to daughter, Rachel, and an avid reader.

Theriault has held an ALA officer position every year that she has been a member.

She served 12 terms as unit president and has held the of-fices of senior vice president, junior vice president and secretary. Along with her work within her unit she has been an o�cer in District 1 for 11 years and won District President of the Year in 2007-08 and 2008-09. She also has held many program chairman-ships for both her unit and district. On the department level, Theriault has served as junior vice president, four times, chaplain and chairman of numerous programs.

Margery Sunbury was elected to the position of senior vice president. Her primary role is that of mem-bership chairman and to as-sist President Theriault. Sunbury is eligible through her brother, Russell, who served in the Army during the Gulf War and has been a member of Kiltonic Unit 72 in Southington for 11 years. As a member of her unit she was

awarded Unit Member of the Year in 2003 and served as unit president for two years,

was President of the Year in 2008, and also has held the po-sitions of senior vice president, junior vice president and secre-tary. On the district level, Sunbury was president and earned District President of the Year in 2011, and

served as senior vice presi-dent, secretary and sergeant-at-Arms. On the department level, she has served as par-liamentarian and sergeant-at-arms. Sunbury has served on numerous program chair-manships during the years in her unit, district and depart-ment level. She is the mother of four and grandmother to grandson, Aiden.

Other department o�cers installed are National Exec-utive Committeewoman Joe Anne Jackson, New Hartford. The department junior vice

BACKPACK BONANZA

In their second trip to a local Queen Street store in as many days, Donna Ni-winski watched as her two sons, Ethan and Eric, combed through Lego bricks at a bulk piece table, in search of a spe-cific piece for a future set.

“They’ve been waiting for this store to open,” Donna Niwinski said. “What kid wouldn’t?”

Bricks & Minifigs, a 16-store franchise that buys, sells and trades Lego pieces, opened its first store on the East Coast in town last week, said owner Robert Schneider, 32.

“We’re one-of-a-kind,” he said. “There’s a huge af-ter-market for Lego. I’m con-stantly looking for old sets from my childhood.”

The franchise was estab-

lished in 2004, and has added five stores in the last year alone, Schneider said. The Southington store opened for business on Sept. 17.

The store sells several sets

that are no longer produced, both pre-built and in boxes. On display Monday after-noon was a replica of Lon-don’s Tower Bridge, and a nine-volt Lego train.

For those looking to cre-ate their own sets, Bricks & Minifigs has bulk piece and mini-figure tables with a wide range of parts available. Though the store sells var-ious parts, it is not a�liated with Lego, Schneider said.

“We’re still adding more and more inventory to our store,” he said. “We got a little mix of every-

thing and all the di�erent themes that Lego carries.”

Throughout the first few days, Bricks & Minifigs has seen consis-tent tra�c.

“Over the weekend, huge crowd Saturday, steady crowd Sunday,” Schneider said.

Schneider categorizes himself as an AFOL, an Adult Fan of Lego.

“When I was younger, I was ac-tively involved...” he said. “I came across the franchise, surfing the net one day, and said ‘why not turn my hobby into a business?’”

Beginning next month, the store will host birthday parties. Eventu-

ally, Schneider would like to host Lego building classes.

Kristopher St-Pierre was search-ing through the store’s bulk tables Monday afternoon.

“Been here everyday since the grand opening,” he said. “I’ve got 10 plots already planned out. I’m completing my city. I have prob-ably four or five of the themes placed in.”

Schneider said Bricks & Minifigs is unique because of what it o�ers.

“The big box stores, they carry all the current sets,” he said. “It’s all the specialty things, the retired sets, the mini-figures, the accesso-ries. We’re the only ones around that carry that stu�.”

Markley honored for work on elder careThe Connecticut Associa-

tion of Health Care Facilities honored state Sen. Joe Mar-kley (R-Southington) with their “Champion of Elder Care” award for his work on behalf of the elderly and their caregivers in the 2015 legisla-tive session.

Markley is the ranking Re-publican on the legislature’s Human Services and Public

Health committees.As chairman of the Human

Services committee, Mark-ley crafted and sponsored the original state home care program for seniors in 1985, which has helped tens of thousands of elderly citizens remain in their homes while saving the state hundreds of millions of dollars each year.

– Press Release

From left: Chris Wright, CAHCF Immediate Past President; Matthew V. Barrett, CAHCF Executive Vice President; and State Sen. Joe Markley.

Recently, my good friend Senator Joe Markley and I held the first of a series of events we are calling our “Pizza & Politics Tour.” We will be visiting a number of lo-cal small businesses in an e�ort to engage with our constituents and also help promote businesses in our community, something needed in these troubled economic times.

Connecticut continues to make negative headlines for its poor business climate and there is no doubt that this is the primary is-sue on the minds of those who came out visit us. We heard ques-tions on many issues including those I covered in this column last month, illegal immigration and the death penalty. We also had questions on issues a�ecting seniors and veterans and on everything from energy costs to gun control. However, the econ-omy seems to overshadow everything else and it’s clear that’s what is on people’s minds.

Recently, the Pacific Research Institute, the Connecticut Business and Industry Association and many other local and na-tional publications have ranked Connecti-

cut at or near the bottom regarding the state’s business climate and overall eco-nomic outlook.

The Pacific Research Institute recently rated Connecticut near the absolute bot-

tom in several categories, includ-ing overall business friendliness at 47th out of 50. That means, Connecticut scores an “F” overall, and two of Connecticut’s cities – New Haven and Hartford – were specifically noted for being among the worst-performing cities in the nation.

This is unfortunate news for sure and a constant source of frus-tration for me, considering that my primary reason for running for o�ce to begin with as well as the

concentration of my daily e�orts as our state representative has been to sound the alarm on bad fiscal policy and to present and advocate for a change in direction.

I have now spent five sessions as a member of the minority party and my voice is hoarse from the debate. I have o�ered bills and amendments galore and

Opinion

From Southington

On Aug. 31, 17-year-old Matthew John Leary, of Southington, completed an 11-year journey to the high-est rank in the Boy Scouts of America: Eagle Scout. His Court of Honor was held at the church hall of St. Leo The Great in Waterbury, in-stead of at his usual Troop 3 location at Mill Plain Union Church, in order that Matt’s great-grandfather, Sam Elia, 98, could attend this special moment in his life.

For his Eagle Scout proj-ect, Matt, a senior at St. Paul Catholic High School, in Bris-tol, chose to construct a dec-orative stone wall around the back of the press box tower at the school’s sports arena. Planting pots were installed into the stone work and flow-ers were planted. He designed and organized the project, re-cruited scouts to work under his leadership, raised funds for material and supplies and gained approval for the plan from his scoutmaster and his school administration.

“Several scouts assisted me in a period of a few weeks. It took 190.7 man-hours to get it done,” Matt said.

Matt lives with his parents, Karen and John Leary, and his sister, Lauren, in their Southington home of 20-plus years. The family has been deeply committed to service at St. Dominic Church and Matt and Lauren attended St. Dominic School.

For Matt, the long and ar-duous road to Eagle Scout began as a Cub Scout in first grade at Pack 218 at St. Peter and Paul Church in Water-bury. “It wasn’t that much fun at first. I was doing it because my dad told me to,” Matt said.

“But with dad’s motivation to just give it a try, I knew pretty quickly that I wanted to do it. In Boy Scouts, you learn to do your best. For me, it was to go for ‘Eagle.’”

In the course of time, Matt learned many skills and what leadership is about. “There’s a lot of ‘doing’… but it’s more about ‘being’ a scout; not just wearing the uniform, but about a way of life.” Achiev-ing Eagle requires hard work and a sustained commitment of many years. Any tender-foot scout knows that it takes earning 21 merit badges. Matt proudly wears 28 badges now, along with his Star, Life and Eagle insignia, and he now wants to go for three Eagle palms: bronze, gold and sil-ver, further advancing his skills and knowledge. These must be completed by April 24, his 18th birthday. Merit badges teach boys a host of skills that develop valued tools in life. Over 120 merit badges are o¡ered in health, sports, crafts, science, trades, business and future careers enabling scouts to learn that special ‘way of life’ of a Boy Scout.

Considering a career in law enforcement, Matt set his classes this year with a focus on exploring that and other career options. His goal is to maintain honor roll status, and in sports, to stay on the indoor track team, hoping to be its captain. He’ll continue his parish youth ministry work. “A career as a police of-ficer doesn’t require a college education but I plan to earn at least a bachelor’s degree. I envision myself leading a po-

Ethical?To the editor:Examine the facts. Dem-

ocratic Party Chair Rosen-blatt filed an ethics violation charge against a Republican Councilman who publicly recused himself on a vote to select a town vendor. Under council of the Town Attorney he voted on policy decisions concerning that vendor. This is routinely done by Town Council minority leader Chris Palmieri when he votes on Board of Education policies.

No ethics violation there? Vice Chairman of Ethics Board Jim Sinclair, a Demo-crat seeking political o¦ce, did not recuse himself and

voted in support of his politi-cal boss Rosenblatt.

Is this ethical?Rusty HaighSouthington

Character assassination

To the editor:Democrat Party Chairman

attorney Ed Rosenblatt, Vice Chairman Ethics Board Jim Sinclair, and Phil Pomposi member of the Ethics Board, all Democrats who partici-pated in the character assig-nation of a young councilman for political purposes. Not a single substantiated fact was used. You should all hang

your heads in shame. Imag-ine your son or daughter serving our community as a member of the Town Council and these three people serve as prosecutor, judge, and jury.

And they think that this is ethical?

Southington is a beautiful, well-run community with a tremendous number of ded-icated citizens who tirelessly give with pride and integrity to all residents.

These politicians and their vicious antics bring shame on our entire community and tarnish the selfless work of others.

lice department one day, run-ning a complex organization that would make a college degree necessary. But, I also plan to attend a college with a strong Catholic identity to strengthen my moral and eth-ical foundation as a Catholic. My faith is very important to me. I’ve had thoughts about entering the seminary, to dis-cern the priesthood, if God

calls me to do so.” Matt’s dad, John Leary, be-

came an Eagle Scout in 1982 at Troop 3 with Bill ‘Bones’ Meo as his scoutmaster. Through the years, Meo has continued as scoutmaster. Today, John Leary is his as-sistant scoutmaster.

“(The spirit of) scouting, it’s something inside of you,” Matt said. “Boys leading boys with adults supervising, teaching and guiding.”

Teen safe driving video contest

The Department of Motor Vehicles, with Travelers, has scheduled the eighth annual Teen Safe Driving Video con-test for high school students. The theme is: “When Shifting into Drive, Keep the Safety of Others in Mind!”

Five student advisors cre-ated this theme with the idea that teens should prac-tice selfless driving, and be conscious of drivers as well

as the environment around them. Teens must realize that they should be aware of their surroundings when driving, and that they should take others into consideration when making crucial driving decisions, the advisors com-mented when deciding on the theme. The contest is open to all public, private and home-schooled high school stu-dents in Connecticut.

Southington’s Rose commits to UConnSOUTHINGTON — The

decision is in.Southington senior quar-

terback Jasen Rose an-nounced he will stay in-state and continue his football career at the University of Connecticut.

Rose made his announce-ment Thursday, Sept. 17 in the Southington High library flanked by head coach Mike Drury and his Southington teammates.

Rose chose UConn over Syracuse, which was the other school on his final list.

It was a list of many suit-ors. One of the most heav-ily recruited athletes ever at Southington High School, Rose was coveted by numer-ous FBS schools, including a handful from the Big 10 and ACC.

His list of finalists once in-cluded Wisconsin and Wake Forest.

“It was definitely hard which schools to eliminate and which to keep around, but as we got further along in the process, I knew where I wanted to eliminate,” Rose

said.With an interest in market-

ing, Rose had made it clear he wants to go to a school with a strong business program.

Rose also has an interest in continuing to play quarter-back. That’s what narrowed his choice to Syracuse and

UConn. Both have good busi-ness schools and both have indicated they would give him a shot at QB.

Other programs were more interested in the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Rose as a tight end or slot receiver. That was the position he played

his sophomore year when his quarterbacking predeces-sor, Stephen Barmore, was a senior and leading the Blue Knights to the 2013 Class LL state championship.

Rose took up the QB reins the next year as a junior and guided the Blue Knights to a

state title repeat as well as the overall No. 1 ranking in both state polls, a position they continue to hold here in the opening weeks of the 2015 season.

“It’s very few times in my coaching career and at a school do you get a kid of Jay’s caliber,” said head coach Mike Drury. “First off, he’s tremendously talented. On top of that, he’s a tremendous worker on and o� the field.”

Rose has yet to lose as starting quarterback.

Last year, he completed better than 70 percent of his passes for 3,190 yards and 47 touchdowns, both single-sea-son school records.

In this year’s season opener, a 54-9 win over Man-chester, Rose was 15-for-20 for 303 yards and six touch-downs. He and the starters were done by the middle of the third quarter.

An additional upside to Rose’s announcement is that it frees him up to concentrate solely on the season ahead.

The SHS football team is 2-0 this season after besting Hartford Public on Friday, Sept. 18.

Not much slowing this Knight train

SOUTHINGTON — The scoreboard never re-flected it, but the Southington coaches certainly took notice.

The Blue Knights’ mistakes were captured by the abundance of yellow hankies after a dozen plays through the first half.

But the opposition is going to need more than penalty yardage to vie with the state’s top-ranked team.

Newly anointed UConn recruit Jasen Rose passed for six touchdowns for the second consec-utive week, three to Austin Morin, as the Knights trampled Hartford Public 48-17 in a CCC Division I crossover game Friday, Sept. 18 at Fontana Field.

The Knights (2-0) have rung up 102 points against their first two foes. Rose competed 10 of 13 passes for 268 yards before departing after the first two possessions of the second half.

“Our O-line gave us a lot of time and Austin made some great plays, so thanks to him on the outside. Alessio [Diana] made a great catch in the end zone. Everyone did their job tonight and it all came together,” Rose said.

He also said coach Mike Drury was far from pleased with the penalties, but noted they’re mostly correctable mistakes.

“It’s more the mind than the body and the kids know that,” Drury said. “We had a nice discussion at halftime about that and we’re going to correct it. It’s not acceptable to us as coaches and it’s not acceptable to them as players. They know they’re going to get better from it.”

linebacker Logan LaRosa smacked quarterback Shamar Richards and forced a fumble. When the loose ball kicked to-ward the left sideline, LaRosa followed the play, scooped it up at the 10 and raced into the end zone.

“My coaches have been saying that whenever you see the window open between the guard and tackle you fill no matter what,” said LaRosa, the lone returning starter on the defense. “That’s exactly what I did. I caused the fum-ble, [Richards] got away from me and Vance Upham caused the second fumble. I picked it up and brought it in.”

A Hartford Public drive sustained by a pass interfer-ence penalty ended with a missed field goal and Rose, a day after making his deci-sion to attend UConn, shifted the Southington machine into gear.

Diana bolted for 47 yards on first down. Three plays later, Rose hit a wide-open Morin in stride from 28 yards out.

Another Public field goal sailed wide as the quarter ended, set up by a 39-yard punt return by Raymond Co-lon and a Southington per-sonal foul.

Undeterred by a holding penalty and another for an illegal man downfield that set the Knights to their 11, Rose dropped a pass in Mo-rin hands at midfield. Morin zigged left, zagged right and left two defensive backs in his wake for an 89-yard scoring play.

Jon Doty added his third conversion kick and the lead grew to 21-0.

“[Morin] has that differ-ent thing going that some receivers have,” Drury said. “He has great hands, aware-ness around the field and the ability to break away from people. [Rose] trusts that. He made some great plays. It was impressive.”

Sacks by John Meade and Ryan Montalvo forced a three-and-out on the Owls’ next possession. Rose re-warded Montalvo for his de-fensive effort moments later when the duo combined on a

41-yard TD pass.An interception by Matt

Gundersen on Public’s next possession neutralized the damage caused by two ma-jor Southington penalties. A touchdown on the inter-ception return was nullified by yet another Southington infraction, but the offense shrugged it off and marched 69 yards in seven plays for the fifth TD of the half. Rose went 4-for-5 on the drive for 59 yards, the TD coming on a 15-yard aerial to Diana.

A Southington personal foul enabled Hartford (0-2) to get in possession for its first score, a 32-yard field goal at the horn.

The Knights overcame 12 first-half penalties for 132 yards, thanks to the passing of Rose and the rushing of Di-ana and Vance Upham. Rose was 7-for-10 for 217 yards and four TDs. Morin caught three passes for 132 yards and two scores. The running backs combined for 85 yards on 10 carries.

The Knights scored on the first possession of the second half when Anthony Plantam-

uro snared a 17-yard scoring pass from Rose, set up by Up-ham’s 32-yard scamper.

Gundersen’s second inter-ception put the ball back in Rose’s hands at the Public 26. He went to Morin in the end zone, equaling the TD output in last week’s 54-9 win over Manchester.

Reserve quarterback Luke

Krochko and the second string entered the game mid-way through the quarter.

Hartford scored twice after the fact.

Tyereique Rodriguez tal-lied the Owls’ first TD on a 25-yard run. Richards’s pass to Luis-John Borgos ac-counted for the second one early in the fourth.

Wrestling great Steve Fernandes dies at 54

SOUTHINGTON — The Southington and state wres-tling community is mourn-ing a loss of one of its all-time greats.

Steve Fernandes, the captain of the 1978 Southington wres-tling state championship team, died on Monday, Sept. 14. He was 54.

“Steve was the most ac-complished wrestler to come out of Southington,” current Southington High School wrestling head coach Derek Dion said. “He was excellent in high school and even better in college.”

Fernandes was one of three Connecticut wrestlers to ever win a NCAA wrestling cham-pionship. In 1982, as a junior as the College of New Jersey, he won the NCAA Division III championship at the 134-pound weight class. He finished third in the nation as a senior.

Fernandes was a three-time All-American in college. He

started his career at Western New England College and was fourth at 126 pounds as a freshman at the D-III champi-onships before transferring to the College of New Jersey, now known as Trenton State.

The road to national prom-inence started in Southington. Fernandes didn’t take up wres-tling until he was 15-years old, yet still made an immediate impact on Southington High’s first wrestling coach, Bob Wittneben.

“He was a superb wrestler,” said Wittneben, who started the Southington wrestling program and coached it un-til 1982. “Steve did terrific. He was like a sponge. You could teach him anything. When he was a kid, he was always good natured and you could always kid around with him. He had a terrific attitude. He was a lot of fun to be with and to coach. Sometimes it’s hard to coach some kids. He wasn’t want of them.”

Tim Sullivan, a 1977 Southington grad, was a team-

mate of Fernandes at both Southington High and West-ern New England, where Fer-nandes spent his first two years of college. The two were roommates at the Springfield school.

Sullivan said two things set Fernandes apart from the competition.

“Number one, he was a phys-ical specimen,” Sullivan said. “Secondly, when he walked on to that mat he felt he was bul-let proof. He felt no one was tougher than him. He was go-ing to impose his will on the other guys. Physically, he was scary. Just a natural wrestler.”

Fernandes

Sullivan said if it wasn’t for two knee injuries during his college career, Fernandes had the goods to win a Division I

national championship.“In his senior year, he beat

a kid that finished third or fourth in the Division I na-tional championships in the preseason,” Sullivan said. “He

was beating him 9-2 before he pinned him. That’s how good he was.”

There’s no denying Fer-nandes’ greatness on the mat. He had a career record of 228-

14-1 across high school and college.

As a Southington High sophomore, in his fist year in the sport, Fernandes finished third in Class LL. He was the Class LL state champ as a ju-nior in 1977 and was second at the State Open.

As a senior captain in 1978, Fernandes helped lead the Knights to a Class LL team championship. Individually, he was the runner-up in LL and at the Open. He signed o� with a 62-7-1 record as a high school wrestler.

Fernandes remained close to the Southington wrestling program throughout the years. Dion said he had a strong im-pact on the team.

“He would come down and work with kids individually when he had a chance,” Dion said. “He was instrumental in Larry Liseo’s State Open championship (in 2002). Af-ter Larry was beaten at LL’s, Steve worked with him before the Open. He won the State Open that year with the help of Steve.”

Dion said Fernandes brought an enthusiasm to the mat even

well after his career ended.“He was a great technician,”

Dion said. “He brightened up the room and he would get ev-eryone fired up. A lot of wres-tlers learned a lot from him, including myself. He was a great supporter of our pro-gram and he is a huge loss.”

Dion and the Blue Knights aren’t about to forget Fer-nandes. The team will be plac-ing a plaque in Fernandes’ honor in the school’s wresting room.

“I will bring it to the funeral and then it will stay in the wrestling room forever,” Dion said.

Fernandes’ exploits will also remain forever etched in the Southington Athletic Hall of Fame. Fernandes was one of the inaugural inductees in 2010.

“It’s always special when you get recognized in your hometown and the people you grew up with,” Wittneben said. “I knew he was happy about it. It meant a lot to him. He was an outstanding athlete and, for the area at that time, he went further than any other state wrestler had gone, being a three-time All-American. I’m sad he’s gone; 54 is too young.”

Sampson

made speech after speech fighting for the principles I believe in – maximum per-sonal freedoms, limited con-stitutional government, and fiscal restraint, sanity, and accountability.

I have heard every con-trary argument and every plea for us to compromise, to work together, and to do what the people want. I have taken all to heart and have consistently put my best foot forward and o�ered collegial cooperation to the majority. In every case, the plea for common sense is ignored. The voice of Connecticut’s taxpaying citizens is disre-garded and the Governor and his friends continue to spend more, regulate more, and tax more resulting in a still stagnant economy and my friends and neighbors contemplating leaving our state.

Some of you may know that my profession is that of a Realtor so I can tell you first hand just how many of my recent client meetings centered around the idea of an out-of-state relocation. It should be most concern-ing to all of us who love this state and consider it our home.

Most recently, Gover-nor Malloy, and the press machine of his Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate, have begun claim-ing these woes are somehow the fault of myself and oth-ers because we’re somehow “rooting for failure.” Mean-while, the Democrat-con-trolled legislature continues to pass overly restrictive and onerous burdens on the job creators of our state.

These assertions are as ridiculous as they sound. In-stead of working to allevi-ate the constant problems of out-of-balance and bloated budgets, poor planning, ar-bitrary tax increases, failure to sunset “temporary” taxes, delayed reporting and fis-cal accounting gimmicks, among others, their answer is to obfuscate the truth and call out those who have the temerity to point out errors in an e�ort to address, re-pair and move our economy forward.

It’s time for our state’s leaders to understand Con-necticut is being left behind and passed over when com-panies look to open, expand or even remain here. Gen-eral Electric, Aetna and sev-eral other employers’ dire warnings during the final days of the past legislative session should have been the wake-up call.

Instead, the legislature voted to pass a new corpo-rate “unitary tax” to claim new revenue from busi-nesses that have operations in multiple states. The idea of a unitary tax is certainly not unique to Connecticut, but it raises another giant warning flag for business owners considering our state. Connecticut does not have a revenue problem; it has a significant spending problem.

This past week, the Con-necticut Business and Indus-try Association and Blum Shapiro released their an-nual survey of Connecticut businesses and stated: “The single greatest challenge for most businesses this year is Connecticut’s economy.”

I am not naïve enough to think this mess was cre-ated, or that it can be solved, overnight, but I am smart enough to know when a pol-icy isn’t working it’s time to change and move forward. Doubling down on proven mistakes just to save face or score a political hit only makes things worse. The Re-publican caucus has repeat-edly o�ered viable, vetted suggestions to help right Connecticut’s financial ship only to be summarily dis-missed and even taunted by this administration.

I also don’t believe every idea our caucus proposes is going to be perfect. How-ever, careful consideration of all ideas, regardless of the source, just makes sense. Some may prove to be un-workable, but others might provide the spark this state needs to return Connecti-cut to a position of national leadership.

Some of the proposals our caucus have put forth in the past, and will likely introduce in the coming legislative session include eliminating the business entity tax (promised by the legislature more than a de-cade ago) and reducing the unemployment burden on small businesses.

Additionally, we proposed legislation to require a su-

per-majority vote in the leg-islature to increase any tax, and to control state spend-ing to stop the recent trend of job-killing tax increases on businesses.

These are just a few of the myriad ideas this legislature can consider to help employ-ers, residents and taxpayers. It’s time to make changes to get our state back on track and provide a better future for everyone.

Please keep an eye out for our next “Pizza & Politics” event and consider coming out to meet Senator Mark-ley and I. As always, you can reach me at www.repsamp-son.com. I am always eager to hear from you.
