Access ports to oil tanks may need improvement.

By Julie SopchakThe Southington Citizen

Water and oil generallydon’t mix, and that’s theproblem that the Southing-ton Police Department is fac-ing concerning the oil tanksoutside the building that fuelthe facility.

“The problem is we’re get-

ting water into our tanks,which isn’t good,” said Po-lice Capt. Greg Simone, “es-pecially in the wintermonths.”

The Town Building Main-tenance Committee has be-gun to take action on fixingthe problem. At the commit-tee’s meeting on Jan. 5, com-mittee members discussed

ways to prevent water runofffrom getting into the tanks.

Town Engineer AnthonyTranquillo said the problemarose about a year ago thatsomehow surface water wasgetting into the tank.

“Water in an oil tank isnever a good thing,” he said.

By Julie SopchakThe Southington Citizen

The Board of Finance ap-proved two ordinances onThursday, Jan. 6, both ofwhich were for bonds for thewater department that com-bine at an estimated cost of$3.2 million.

The first bond, whichcame to a cost of $1,680,000,was approved for the design,construction and installa-tion of a new water main

that will be placed on WestCenter Street. The main issaid to go from Water Streetup to West Street, and thenfrom West Center Street upto Mill Street.

The second ordinance wasa bond for $1,730,000 thatwould allow the demolitionof the water storage tank atthe water filtration plant onMariondale Drive and the re-placement of a new 2-mil-

Violence gives reason to keep Dr. King’s dream aliveBy Robin Lee Michel

The Southington Citizen

The random shooting on Jan. 8 inTuscon, Ariz. that killed six peopleand wounded another dozen peopleis a perfect example of why peopleshould not forget Dr. Martin LutherKing Jr. and his mission to create aworld of greater understanding andacceptance, said Phyllis Wade, aSouthington resident. “As MartinLuther King preached and practiced

for years, peoplemust treat each oth-er civilly,” Wadesaid. “For what rea-son someone wouldjust go shoot peopleboggles my mind.”

Wade heads thecommittee at FirstBaptist Church ofSouthington, which for 15 years hasorganized a community event to in-spire people to pursue equality and

tolerance for all. This year’s Dr. Mar-tin Luther King Jr. CommunityEvent will be held Sunday, Jan. 16,from 2 to 4 p.m., at First BaptistChurch, 581 Meriden Ave., Southing-ton. There is no charge to attend.

Wade said the news of murders,racial attacks and hateful rhetoricthat even politicians find is OK touse is discouraging. “People arelooking to come together to find away to get along, to find that path,”she said. It comes back to “treat your

neighbor as you would like to betreated.” Prejudice, unfortunately, isnot uncommon in Southington, shesaid, citing incidents that have hap-pened to several of her loved ones inlocal schools. She also recalled sever-al years ago when a mixed-race cou-ple was attacked at a local bar.

Sunday’s event is designed to hon-or King, keep alive his dreams andRobinson

SHS Marching Band announcesits 2011 Super Bowl Sub Sale

The Southington HighSchool Marching Band isonce again conducting its Su-per Bowl Sub Sale. The salefeatures 12-inch grinders —sold, prepared and deliveredby marching band students— just in time for the biggame. Proceeds from the ef-fort will help support thespring trip to Williamsburg,Va.

The Super Bowl Sub Sale isone of the largest and mostexciting fundraisers of theyear. Last weekends, studentsbegan canvassing the townand will continue Jan. 15 and16 taking orders for turkey,ham and Italian combo subs.In addition to the town can-vas, students will also be sell-ing on their own, taking or-ders from friends, relativesand neighbors.

“This is a terrific opportu-nity for the students to getout and talk with the commu-nity,” said John Coleman,this year’s chairman. “It’s

also a fun way to raise moneyselling a quality product es-pecially made for the SuperBowl.”

The students not only sellthe grinders, they also makethem. On Feb. 6 — the morn-ing of the “Big Game” — stu-dents, parents and other vol-unteers will gather at 6:30a.m. at Southington HighSchool to assemble the subs,and fill hundreds of boxesand bags with the appropri-ate selections. The goal is todeliver all the sandwiches byearly afternoon in time forthe recipients to enjoy themwhile watching the SuperBowl game.

“Last year, we made anddelivered almost 2,000grinders,” said Coleman.

“The grinders are fresh, andinclude top quality meatsprovided by Tops Market.They are an exceptional val-ue at only $6 each. They real-ly sell themselves and wehaven’t increased the price inat least seven years.”

For more information or toarrange for group purchases,contact John Coleman at(860) 621-8830.

bring the community togeth-er. It is not a religious orChristian program, althoughKing was a Baptist minister,but crosses all lines of race,faith or creed to bring peopletogether as one, organizerssaid. In past year’s the cele-bration was held at the AquaTurf Club, however, expensemay have kept some peoplefrom attending. Thus, for 2011it is being held at the church.

Past speakers and topicshave included 2002: “TheStrength to Love,” JeffRivers, Hartford Courantcolumnist; 2008: “DiversityPays,” Carlton Highsmith,president and CEO of Spe-cialized Packaging Interna-tional; and 2009: “Is ThereTruth and Justice Today,” theRev. Dr. Peola Hicks, managerof OurPrayer, a GuidepostsOutreach Ministry.

Curtis D. Robinson, aSouthington resident, entre-preneur and philanthropist,is the guest speaker who willaddress the theme, “TappingOur Potential.” Last fall,Robinson was named by Hart-ford magazine as one of Con-

necticut’s 50 most influentialpeople. Locally he has con-tributed funds to feed 1,000people through Bread forLife. On a larger scale, he hasstarted health screening pro-grams for the under-servedin Hartford and New Haven,as well as founded schoolsand established educationand life skill programs forwomen drug addicts to stayclean and become productivecitizens.

Robinson came to Hart-ford from Birmingham, Ala.when he was a teenager. Hismother, although she workedsix days a week, had nothing.“I wanted to control my owndestiny,” Robinson said, andeventually provide for hismother. From his first nightsleeping on a park bench heworked his way up from dish-washer to purchasing a gro-cery store, later a hotel andowner of numerous proper-ties. “I was able to buy mymom a house,” he said. “Thatwas my biggest motivation.”

He retired at the age of 35but went back in business at40. Robinson is the owner, op-erator and president of C&RDevelopment Company, thelargest minority construc-

tion management companyin the East, he said. His cur-rent project is a hotel andcasino complex in St. Croix,U.S. Virgin Islands.

However wealth and trap-pings of success mean littleto him. “My mother taughtme to give back. If you have aloaf of bread, share it. Godalways has given to me be-yond my wildest dreams,”Robinson said. With that inmind, he has made it his mis-sion to help others in need,often behind the scenes andwithout recognition. He alsoserves on numerous boardsof directors including SaintFrancis and ConnecticutHospital Association. His vi-sion and generosity has re-sulted in adopting a home-less shelter for displacedchildren, donating buses toschools and churches, andensuring medical care forpeople who are underserved.“I look to do things directlyfor individuals.”

When looking at his walkto success - that was not with-out struggles and mistakes,he said - Robinson said“everything that is good ishard and takes time, disci-pline and patience. It’s 85

percent attitude and 15 per-cent aptitude.” Young peopletoday want everything now,he said. His words of adviceinclude “listen to your par-ents, get an education, getnegative people out of yourlife, stay away from drugs.Surround yourself with posi-tive people.” He has demon-strated that even a personfrom the lowliest back-ground, such as himself, haspotential and can succeed.

Each year, In recognition

that issues of equality for allcitizens must still be ad-dressed and the legacypassed on to younger genera-tions, the committee asks thetwo middle school principalsto select an outstandingeighth-grader who gives ofthemselves to improve theirown community and fosterunderstanding and accept-ance of all people.

“Eventually what would hap-pen is the water builds upand the system will startsucking water and won’t runanymore, so that’s a majorproblem. It’s really a safetyissue, and obviously youdon’t want to have a buildingwith no heat.”

Simone said the water in-vasion hasn’t yet interferedwith oil deliveries, but hesaid the oil companies havegiven warning that if the fillareas are covered with water,they will not deliver.

“It hasn’t [inhibited func-tion] to this point,” Simonesaid. “We did get water intothe tanks before and we hadto have the water pumped,but it has to be addressed.”

Both tanks are located inthe back parking lot of thebuilding, located at 69 LazyLane. One is located on an in-cline and does not have aproper oil cap, but is insteadcovered with a heavy piece ofsheet metal and a trafficcone. Because of the incline,water runoff finds its wayinto the fill area. The secondtank still has its cap, but used

to be bombarded by snowplows.

Tranquillo said there isone solution the committee islooking at to fix the problem.

“It involves rebuilding themanway and the fill systemsand raising the covers, rais-ing the access ways into thetank,” Tranquillo said, “sothat the surface water won’trun into it anymore.”

Tranquillo said the cost ofthe proposed solution wouldbe about $30,000, but commit-tee members said it has nomoney so it will be taken tothe Board of Finance.

Town Attorney Mark Scio-ta suggested at the meetingthat the committee takes outa special appropriation be-cause of the urgency of the

situation.“We’ll go to the Board of

Finance in February on thatone,” Sciota said. “We’ll havethe money available to go outto bid and have it ready forApril.”

To get through the winter,however, the committee dis-cussed temporary solutionsto ward off the problem untila permanent one can be putinto motion.

“We could put a concretepad over it if we want,” Tran-quillo said during the meet-ing. “There’s nothing wrongwith doing that if we wantadditional protection. Thatwould get the traffic awayfrom it, it’ll get the snowplows away from it, it’ll getthe water away from it.”

Tanks are located at 69Lazy Lane.

BondsContinued from page 1

lion-gallon concrete storagetank.

Tom West, superintendentof the water department,said the mains are currently

being installed and the proj-ect is being funded by the wa-ter department until a bondis approved to reimburse thecost.

“The water department,who collects its money fromwater rate payers, is comingbefore the town seeking, in

this case, [$1,680,000], andasking the town to take out abond for a period of 10 years,of which the water companywill repay,” said Board of Fi-nance member John Leary.“So it will not affect the tax-payers with a well, it’ll be re-paid through those who paytheir water bills to the waterdepartment. The water de-partment will then in turnrepay the town.”

West confirmed that thebonds will be repaid throughwater department rates, butthe rates will not increase.

“The way this is actuallygoing to coincide with us isit’s going to hit us at a pointwhere we’re actually retiringabout the same amount ofdebt,” West said. “So for thisspecific bonding, there’s notgoing to be a rate increaserelative to this bonding be-cause it’s going to take theplace of other debt that we’reretiring.”

West said the water stor-

age tank is being replaced be-cause as it is right now, it isabout 20-years-old and needspainting. The cost for thepainting is about $500,000.

“In the course of the life ofthe tank, it’s going to have tobe painted every 15 to 20years,” West said. “We hadan engineer firm do a biganalysis of the present valueof doing all those paintingsgoing forward versus replac-ing it outright with a rein-forced concrete tank. Basedon that analysis, the rein-forced concrete tank was themost efficient use of ourfunds.”

West said the project willlikely come in at over the re-quested $1.73 million to com-plete the project, but that thedepartment will fund therest of the money through itswater tank maintenance re-serve fund.

Resident Sandra Feld waspresent at the meeting, andasked the board when the 10-

year bond will go out as wellas when the water depart-ment will repay the town.

Southington Director ofFinance Emilia Portelinhasaid the settlement date forthe bond will be March 2.

“As far as the payments, assoon as we have to pay them,we bill the water depart-ment, they send us the mon-ey,” she said. “So it would beevery six months.”

Board of Finance Chair-man Wayne Stanforth saidthe bonding is a “win-win”for the water departmentrate payers and to the Townof Southington.

“All the costs of the bond-ing can be paid and reim-bursed by the water depart-ment,” he said, “with nodetriment to the town and therate payers.”

“In bonding these two proj-ects versus alternate meansof financing, like a bank loanor another means, bondingproved to be the lowest costalternative which is best forthe rate payers who, in 90 per-cent of the time are also tax-payers,” Leary said. “So weare about to do the rightthing for the citizens by ap-proving this bond ordi-nance.”

“For the most part, every-body has swum to their po-tential and I can only foreseeus getting better, which is go-ing to obviously come inhandy when we get into theend of our schedule when itgets a lot tougher when weget into our conference,”head coach Evan Tuttle said.

The team picked up a com-fortable win before Christ-mas against Windsor and fi-nally got back to its dual meetschedule last Wednesday, asthey beat Meriden Co-op.Thanks to the snow, last Fri-day’s Plainville meet wascrossed off the schedule. Thisweek the boys went on theroad to Hartford Public thispast Tuesday and Newingtontoday.

“There’s meets that we

should win, there’s meetsthat we can win and there’smeets that we hope to win.

The ones that we should win,we have won and now we’regetting into the stretch of the

season where we get themeets that we can win,” Tut-tle said of the schedule.

As for the individual per-formances in the pool, Tuttlesaid that the usual suspectshave been swimming well inMike Smigelski, Colin Maga-ro, Jesse Cooney, VladKiveliyk, Bryan Adie and JoeTaglia, who had a great meetagainst Meriden, accordingto Tuttle.

Aside from the top guys,Tuttle said the young guysare constantly improvingand talking with him beforeTuesday’s Hartford Publicmeet, he said he was lookingforward to seeing them adaptto some different races.

“They’re going to be swim-ming some different thingstoday against Hartford Pub-lic, so we’re going to see ifthey can step up and show me

what they got,” he said.In terms of postseason,

three individuals have al-ready qualified, those beingSmigelski, Magaro and diverRyan Connors. Magaro hasonly qualified in the 50-freebut is tenths-of-seconds fromqualifying in the 100-free,while Smigelski has met theautomatic times for a handfulof events – 50-free, 100-fly, 200-free, 100-breast and 100-free.

Last season, Southington gym-nastics won its fifth Class L title insix years. The Blue Knights havethe potential to raise another ban-ner this year.

The Knights’ championshipquest started last Wednesday night with a135.60-120.45 season-opening victory overHall-West Hartford at the Cheshire AcrobaticTraining School (C.A.T.S.). The Blue Knightswon or tied for first in all four events andtook the top three spots in the all-around ledby sophomore Toni Penta.

As a re-sult of aslew of in-juries tofour keywrestlers inthe Blue

Knights’ lineup, headcoach Derek Dion has hadto do some serious shuf-fling this year, but none ofthat showed last weekwhen they squeaked out a32-30 victory over Farm-ington, which was one of ahandful of teams just out-side the Top 10 in the latestNorwich Bulletin CoachesPoll.

“The Farmington matchwas big,” Dion said. “Theleague match is one of ourbig goals this year. Theywere undefeated at thetime and things wererolling pretty good and itwas quite the excitingmatch.

“A lot of really highlycontested individualmatches in there; my kidscame through and just bat-tled, everyone battled real-ly hard.”

Even though Farming-ton was getting more atten-tion prior to the match,there was no concern fromthe Blue Knight coach.

Penta tied for first in thevault (9.1) and the unevenbars (8.4), and finished withthe high all-around score of34.70.

“She has worked reallyhard in the offseason and ismore confident this year,”seventh-year Southingtoncoach Byron Knox said ofPenta prior to the meet.“She’s made the biggest im-provement on vault andbars.”

Knox said Penta should beSouthington’s top performerin each event. He said she iscapable of winning individ-ual titles at the end of the sea-son.

“She can,” Knox said.“Last year she was strong asonly a freshman.”

For the Blue Knights, thegoal is always about collect-ing titles. Only a few years re-moved from a string of New

Overall, in his first year ashead coach, Tuttle says mostimportantly, it’s the morale ofthe entire team that has madeit a good season to this point.

England championships,Southington finished secondat the Connecticut StateOpen last year after claimingthe Class L crown. How doesthe scene shape up here in2011?

“Every year is always achallenge,” Knox said. “Ourgoal is to compete to win. Wewon’t know until all of theschools compete how we willfare. I will know more afterthe first or second meet. Ithink we will do very well.”

Knox said CCC rival Glas-tonbury could be one of the

Blue Knights most difficultmeets this year. The twoschools collide in the finalmeet of the regular seasonon Feb. 16 in Glastonbury.

Southington will rely onits balance up and down theroster to win meets this sea-son.

“We are consistent withour depth,” Knox said. “Justabout everyone can do avault of 9.6 or 9.7, onethrough six. This year wehave a consistent group.”

By Michael Guerrera The Southington Citizen

A pair ofhome games thisweek for the 7-2S o u t h i n g t o ngirls basketball

team started with NorthwestCatholic on Monday. A 35-26loss in that one for Southing-ton ended a six-game winstreak. According to seniorco-captain Tori Munson, theadded pressure in gettingwin No. 8, a tournament-berth clinching win, was notthe cause of Southington’slowest point output of theyear.

“That wasn’t really ourmain priority,” Munson said.“We know Northwest is a re-ally good team and we want-ed to play really well andmore use it as an opportunitybecause Northwest has al-ways been a good team, but itwasn’t really about gettinginto the tournament.”

Munson, though, furtherexplained that at 7-2 beforethe game, it would have beenextra sweet to get that win onMonday.

“That would have beennice because coach has beenreminding us that peopledon’t really have high expec-tations of us, but that wasn’treally our main goal at all,”she said.

Head coach Mike Forgioneechoed Munson’s sentiments.

“We take it just one at atime,” he said. “We’re in atough conference stretchhere and we have to bounceback.”

Going into yesterday’s tiltwith Farmington (result notavailable at press time), Mun-son hoped her team woulduse the tough loss to reboundagainst another one of theconference’s best,

trailed 16-4 after one quarterof play. Subtract that quarterand the final mark wouldhave been 22-19 in Southing-ton’s favor.

“We made the mistakesearly that got us into a holethat we couldn’t dig out of,”Forgione said.

But the primary problemwas a poor shooting night all-around as only Munson haddouble-figures with 10 pointsand her cohort, MariahBerry, only had two, which isa problem because to win, it’sa must for both of those girlsto have good nights, accord-ing to the head coach.

“I think maybe the lossagainst Northwest will helpus and give us some energyto try to get a win,” she ex-

plained.In the Northwest game, a

Sophomore DanielleCharamut has been one ofthe young players makingan impact for the girls thisyear.

“We definitely look to thatright now,” Forgione said ofthe senior duos scoring.

The poor shooting is a com-bination of a couple factors,the main one being inexperi-ence.

“None of the guards haveany varsity experience, so it’ssomething that we’re tryingto learn on the fly,” Forgioneexplained.

However, he says his teamworks hard every day, giveseverything they have andeven in defeat, they show awillingness to improve.

“I’m proud of the effort,but disappointed in the resultand I think they are too,which is a good sign, theywant to get better,” he said.

Never didS o u t h i n g t o nneed a win morethan they didlast Thursday.

The response might be, “Re-ally? It was only game No. 7of the year.”

That is true, but comingoff a brutal, buzzer-beatingloss to Newington, confi-dence was shaken. ThenConard came to town andconfidence was regained in a65-52 conference win.

“We had a game plan inmind that was to make surewe got the tempo, from thetip, the way we wanted it,”

head coach Bob Lasbury said.“Despite not having as big alead as we’d have liked, I feltconfident coming in at half-time at some point we’d makea spurt to push the lead a lit-tle bit.”

The lead at half was a com-fortable 30-18, but out of thegate, the Blue Knights ex-tended it all the way 65-38 af-ter a pair of Tyler Dube freethrows with 4:40 to play in thefourth quarter. The startersthen came out, the teambacked off and the BlueKnights didn’t score again,while Conard finished thegame on a 14-0 run to makethe game appear closer thanit really was.

Lasbury said coming offthe 49-48 loss to Newington,this one was a must.

“Newington out-played us,out-hustled us, so we neededto come out with some ener-gy and I think they respond-ed well,” he said of his team.

In the game, Tyler Dubecontinued to put up some ofthe state’s best numbers, ashe followed up an 18-pointperformance against New-ington with 22 more againstConard. He’s on a pace toscore around 430 points forthe year. Last year he regis-tered 295 points for the sea-

“I thought we were goingto win, to be honest withyou,” Dion said. “Althoughwhen we drew up the lineup,we knew going into thatmatch that every single guyhad to come through in orderfor that to happen. Luckilyfor us, they did. It was excit-ing.”

The injury list continuesto be lengthy, starting withlone senior and captainChristian Bowles. Other keycogs missing are NickSolomon, Nick Sforza andDan Westbrook. For the firstthree guys, Dion says hope-fully he’ll have some more in-formation on their return inthe next couple of weeks. Asfor Westbrook, he has ashoulder injury, so it’s hard-er to predict anything.

Still, it’s what the team hasdone with those guys out thathas been most satisfying.

“One guy gets injured, theother guy steps up and getsthe job done. We’ve had quitea few of those kids that arereally stepping up and mak-ing a difference, it’s reallybeen exciting and really funto watch and be a part of,”Dion said.

Because some of the olderwrestlers are getting bangedup, it’s given the youngerguys a chance on the varsitymat and Dion says he’s lov-ing everything second of it.

“It’s just exciting workingwith these young kids,” heanswered. “They’re fun,they’re hard working, we getgood practices in and they’rebattling at the matches.”

Dion also clarified thatduring matches, while he andthe other coaches may be vo-cal, it’s all about teaching,never about discipline.

“All the yelling that we doat the matches is (about)moves, not questioning any-one’s heart. So far, it’s beenreally enjoyable,” he said.

One oddity is that the snowdays continue to fall onmatch days for the team, lead-ing to the cancellation of afew matches and a tourna-ment. With a young team,there’s some question as tohow that might affect them?

“I don’t know the answer tothat,” Dion said. “I’d like toget match experience, but

also we’ve got learning to do.It’s something that we can’tcontrol, so I’m no going to gettoo crazy about it one way orthe other.”

All the head coach wantedto reiterate was his obvious

Rough sledding for skiers to open yearBy Dave Mongillo

Special to The Citizen

The BlueKnight ski teamstarted its seasonat MountSouthington lastweek and had a

disappointing first race, atleast for the girl’s team. Thetop Southington High boysdid a formidable job againstpowerhouse racers fromRidgefield and Glastonbury.

Austin Florian had a greatopening round finishing fifthoverall and third among thetop skiers in Class L. Sebast-ian Doughty, in his first sea-son on the high school cir-cuit, finished 17th overalland 11th in Class L.

The next best Blue Knightboy was Ryan Carney whofinished 40th in Class L, fol-lowed by Collin Kjellquist in

41st. After the season openerthe boy’s team is ranked 5thin Class L.

The Southington Highgirls were less successful inthe opening round of what isplanned to be a six-race sea-son. Alyssa Aligata was thebest Southington girl, finish-ing 30th in Class L, followedby Dierdre Hermann in 35th.

The UConn ski teams hadthe first two races of theirten event season last week-end at Mount Sunapee, N.H.The men’s team preformedwell, while the women had aslow start in the two GiantSlaloms held in a light snow-fall last Friday and Saturday.

The top UConn man wasLuke Wiles, 27th out of 75racers in Friday’s event and45th on Saturday. MichaelHaeflich was the most con-sistent UConn racer finish-ing 37th and 34th in the two

races. Former MountSouthington racer, Matt Dia-mond was disappointed withhis results finishing 42nd inthe opening race and 40th onSaturday.
