Council to rethinkspeedboat ordinance

by Susan FaberA highly unpopular ordinance which would permit motor boats on

Lake Winnemaug will get a second look by Town Council members attheir January 16 meeting.

"I'm going to be recommending thatwe need to rescind the ordinance,"said council Chairwoman Rosalie Loughran, who said she was voicingher own opinion. "I'd like to see (the lake) used by all of the residents ofWatertown-Oakville, but not by everyone in the state," Mrs, Loughransaid.

Lake Winnemaug residents objected to the ordinance because theysaid the lake's shallow depth and rocky terrain would pose dangers tospeeding boaters and pollution would endanger wildlife. The presence ofthe boats would disturb the peaceful domain of canoeists, paddleboatersand fishermen, they said.

In order to be eligible for $75,000 in state funds for a boat ramp, thetown had to go along with state requirements calling for motor boats. Aramp would help make the town-owned lake accessible to the public,officials said.

But the public outcry against the ordinance may outweigh the benefitsof opening up the lake, officials said.

"Council members probably don't think it was a wise thing," Mrs.Loughran said. 'The town manager was looking for ways to accomplishthings without going through the town budget," she said.

In another Litchfield County town, residents are fighting the state'sefforts to build a public boat launch that would allow for as many as 85boats of non-residents on Lake Waramaug each day.

"There is big-time opposition," said Washington's first selectman,

Rewards offered in post office robberyby Susan Faber

The investigation into the rob-bery at the Oakville Post Office,which occurred over the weekendof December 22, is continuing, saidDetective Sgt. Ronald Blanchardon Friday. Rewards are being of-fered by Crime Stoppers and by theU.S Postal Service.

One or more culprits broke intothe Main Street facility and torethrough about 20 letters and pack-ages and made off with electronicpostal equipment.

If residents have any informa-tion on the crime, they may call thelocal Crime Stoppers number at945-9940 and "can remain totallyanonymous," Mr. Blanchard said.

When they call in with informa-tion, they will be issued a codenumber and the information can beused as the basis for an arrest

Crime Stoppers RewardShould the information prove

valuable, the Crime Stoppers boardof directors will authorize a cashreward of up to $1,000, Mr. Blan-chard .said.

The U.S. Post Office is offeringa $10,000 reward, he said.

Crimestoppers was set up dur-ing the past year at the WatertownPolice Department to provide avehicle for the average citizen tohelp the department solve crimesand allows them to remain anony-mous.

Year of growthenvisioned forlocal schools

by Susan FaberAt a time of year when many

New Year's resolutions are beingmade. Superintendent of SchoolsDinoo Dastur sees 1996 as a year ofpromise in the area of technology,the middle school concept, andreinstatement of programs whichhad been cut in recent years.

Introducing technology anddeveloping school libraries are "keyareas for improvement," Dr. Das-tur said.'Test scores are very good.They showed improvement but I'dlike see the children prepared forthe future.

"The future lies in their ability tothink, solve problems and use multi-media as a resource," she stated. "Ifour children don't have the oppor-tunity in these areas they will not beable to compete in the work forceofthe future.

"I'd like to see the middle schoolconcept being implemented," Dr.Dastur continued, using a team-teaching approach where teacherswork as mentors with the students.In the middle school setup, stu-dents explore themes in teams,studying one theme from differentpoints of view, through art, musicand language arts.

Implementing such a programwould entail rescheduling, retrain-ing and giving staff members anopportunity to develop and plancurriculum. The approach wouldbenefit students and staff, eliminat-ing feelings of isolation.

Dr. Dastur also foresees a re-vival of art and music in Water-town schools, and recommends"puttingour resources in these areas.We had an outstanding band atWatertown High School," she said,and students should start musical

Lions on the prowl for members who prefer day activities

Watertown Lions Club members Ronald Blanchard, left, and Al Dodge,who also is the Lions' District 23-B governor, prepare for a specialmeeting Wednesday, January 10, when the concept of a Lions "day club"will be broached. Around 44 people already have expressed interest injoining. — Times Photo, Valuckas

by Tommy ValuckasThey very much will act, walk and talk like regular

Watertown Lions Club members, but a whole newsegment of the civic-minded leonine pride will comeinto fruition next Wednesday.

That's when an organizational meeting takes placeto assemble a Lions' "Day Club" for people whonormally can't attend night meetings, but still want tohelp out the community. The January 10 gathering willbeat noon atTheSummitrestaurant,16Straits Turnpike.

'The big winner is the town, because the morepeople you have involved in community service, thebetter," said Al Dodge of the main Watertown club, andwho also is District 23-B governor.

Club member Ronald Blanchard said as of lastweek, some 44 men and women had expressed interestin joining the new group, which would have its own setof officers, meeting schedule, and projects to work on.

The men indicated thatbecauseofchanginglifestylepatterns and job situations, many adults simply cannot

devote nighttime hours to a club or organization. If,however, a group geared its activities to daytime, therecould be significant headway made.

Multiple Lions clubs are not new. For example, Mr.Blanchard noted more than 1,700 communities in theUnited States have more than one Lions club.

And then there's the town of Houma, La., which hasno fewer than eight Lions clubs. "Now that's my typeof town," Mr. Dodge wrote in a memo to- fellowmembers locally. "Whata positive impact they mustbehaving on their community."

Mr. Blanchard said towns like Bolton and EastHaddam in Connecticut have two clubs. Only threetowns in Litchfield County — Bridgewater, Roxbury,Cornwall — have no Lions clubs, leaving 58communities in Litchfield and Hartford counties whodo.

Mr. Blanchard notedNew Britain and Hartford haveLions day clubs already.

That Sinking FeelingThe Town Council at its next regular meeting on January 16 will

consider rescinding an ordinance that allows motor boats on Lake Win-nemaug, which is located in the western part of town.

The ordinance, which was OKd by the council this past fall before theelections, has generated a firestorm of controversy from residents wholive near the lake. They are adamant in their feeling that power boats onthe lake would present a danger to operators of sailboats and other smallnon-powered craft, disturb the wildlife, and pose a threat to the environ-mental health of the body of water.

The residents appear to favor the construction of a public boat launchat Lake Winnemaug, but the catch is the town only can be eligible for$75,000 from the state for the project if it allows motor boats.

The original public hearing on the ordinance was not sufficientlypublicized, lake neighbors claim, and they feel another open discussionshould take place so all voices can be heard.

We believe the council would be wise to review the status of thesituation, and listen to comments from the residents at that Tuesday nightmeeting. On the other hand, the onus also is on the property owners whosurround Lake Winnemaug to make their opinions known at that time.

'A Magical World'No matter how good a start the new year might get off to, it won' t be

a great beginning because Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes" de-parted from the funnies of nearly 2,400 papers after December 31. Whatdevoted reader didn't revel in the adventures of the precocious 6-year-oldand his suave tiger buddy, because most of them were things we had donein our younger years — or wished we had, anyway.

When we go exploring those magical worlds out there, we'll all be alittle more forlorn without Calvin and Hobbes leading us.

LettersTown says American flag is all that we can have

To The Editor.Flags we would like to display with pride,

but as the Town looks around as they ride,Again what they see they don't like,

according to them their decision is right.Believe me, I have no disrespect to my

country or flag! I want to know whyThe Town says: American flags only,

to me that's a bunch of baloney.A flag is a flag! We can't choose it,

regardless what we put up we can benefit.Open and welcome flags are our freedom of speech,

now I have no degree to teach.But when I went to school I was taught,

freedom of speech comes in many ways I thought.Question: an open or welcome flag difference,

or the American flag we can have in ordinance.Answer: the American flag representing our freedom,

open and welcome are representingour freedom of speech.

Maybe I could get a new career and teach.Seriously, advertisement is our main source,

but theTown objects to everything we do, of course.Without advertising somehow we're open,

does theTown think we're supposed tokeephopirig?That eventually someone will come in,

and maybe we can make our income.Is this really the land of the free,

you sure can't prove it by me.Look what the Town did: took our advertisement away,

and then the Town decides no hardship, they say.Remember Norma Ray? And how she fought,

I'm still looking into this with some thoughtAnd here's my New Year's resolution —

is to work hard and find a solution.We are entitled to out rights and some things,

and I say the Town can't deny us of everything.I will keep you posted on all of this,

and would like to take this time and wish,each and everyone of you a Happy New Year,

and I hope the Town remembers I'm still here.Oh, before I forget and end this time,

I'm leaving you with a personal opinion of mine.Homeowners beware: maybe your next in line,

if it's not your flag, maybe it could be a sign.Sincerely,

Special delivery of Rico's card brings Christmas smilesTo The Editor:

My husband and I would like totake this opportunity to thank sev-eral people who took time out oftheir very busy holiday scheduledto ensure that our 7-year-old son'sChristmas wish was granted.

Our son Matthew is a very bigfan of Rico Brogna, and all hewanted this year for Christmas wasbaseball-related items. Matthewwas fortunate to receive a call fromSanta recently to discuss what agood boy he'd been during the pastyear and what he hoped to get forChristmas.

During the conversation, Mattmust have mentioned to Santa thathe would like a card autographedby his favorite Mets player, Rico.

On Christmas Eve afternoon,while Matthew was playing at ourhome with my husband's family,our doorbell rang. When I answeredthe door, a woman asked if I wasMatthew's mother. I replied that Iwas. She introduced herself as RicoBrogna's mother and went on tosay that she had spoken with DonStepanck, who had heard from Santathat Matthew had asked for an auto-graphed Rico Brogna card for

Christmas.She then handed me the card and

wished me a Merry Christmas. Iwas practically speechless and Iwas so touched at the generosity ofMrs. Brogna, Rico, Mr. Stepanek,and all others involved.

Needless to say, Matthew wasvery excited to receive the card onChristmas morning. Thank-youagain from all of us for such aspecial gift. May you ail have ahappy and healthy New Year!

Despite the proforma statementthat they are "motivated solely" bya concern for the interests of thepublic, Messrs. (William) Breg and(Alan) Mickel have never statedwhose public is interested in plac-inggasoline-powered boats on LakeWinnemaug.

Town Manager (John) Salo-mone, who recommended the en-actment of this ordinance, admitsthat he has never been approachedby township residents requestingthe use of gasoline-powered boats

-o'n'Lafo' Wmnemaug.

If the ex-councilors are respond-ing to authentic, if wrongheaded,Watertown desire for gasoline-powered boats on Lake Winne-maug, then they should say so. Weare left with the concern that thoseinterested in the construction of anexpensive and unnecessary boatlaunch are not of this community,or that their motives are suspect.Messrs. Bregand Mickel havedonenothing to assuage these legitimateconcerns.

In initiating this public debate Iassumed that the positions voicedwould be attacked. I am, however,surprised thatpersonal attack- Nvecommenced. I hereby con. topublic "inattention" to the issuebefore its passage and present asmy only defense that I was a thou-sand miles away attending mymother in her final illness through-out the brief period wherein thiswas proposed and enacted.

Messrs. Breg and Mickel do not,however, seem to remember thatthey ignored the public commentsthat were presented at this time intheir haste to enact this ordinance.Moreover, they did not solicit opin-ions from their own Parks andRecreadon Commission, nor fromour police force, before passage ofthe ordinance.

If they did not use or even in-form these commissions of theirplans, just, who was it that waspushing'-for!1h"is"1oriir3ilce?1?;er-

Town Times, January 4, 1996-5

Letterstainly, if they failed to take, theopinions of the public, their owncommission and the police forceinto account before passage of theordinance, the public can hardlyexpect the council to take theiropinions seriously after passage ofthe ordinance despite whatever"comments" we mere taxpayers arepermitted to provide. That isprecisely why the ordinance mustb t repealed.

essrs. Breg and Mickel accuseme of "hysteria" in cautioning themregarding the likelihood of litiga-tion due to: adverse environmentalimpact of gasoline-powered boatson' Lake Winnemaug; increasederosion to the lakeshore by gaso-line-powered boats on Lake Win-nemaug; increased township liabil-ity due to the deaths involving theuse of gasoline-powered boats onLake Winnemaug, a small, shallowlake with a rocky bottom; and in-creased vandalism and burglary ofthe community homes or increasedtaxes to provide additional polic-ing.

Messrs. Breg and Mickel wouldperhaps do well to avoid medicalterms wherever they can. Never-theless, anyone who is even vaguelyfamiliar with current trends in thelegal (I do not say justice) systemsknows that this is "betting on a surething." Litigation will increase.

Messrs. Breg and Mickel eitherare not informed or have not beenprudent caretakers of the publicwelfare if they can deride theseconcerns in such cavalier fashion. Inote that they do not present anyarguments to relieve pur authenticconcerns in this matter.

Attempting to scare people byobliquely threatening the "(closureof) Sylvan Lake, Echo Lake andCresibrook Park" is hyperbole ofthe worst sort I was not aware thatthe council was planning on puttinggasoline-powered boats on theselakes. If they are not, Messrs. Breg

and Mickel should say so and leaveoff the demagoguery.

Finally, Messrs. Breg andMickel in their letter have advisedme and, I assume, all householdersin the Caruso Drive, Artillery Road,Winnemaug Estates and FlintlockRoad as to how to be "truly con-cerned" about the lake by (I'mguessing here) tearing down ourhouses, allowing the land to growover and moving out of town.

While I think they seem a littledesperate here, the argument thisdeserves is that what as residentswe pay for the privilege, arecloselystate-regulated and as residents weare rather less likely to "mess ourown nest" None of this can be saidabout transient use of gasoline-powered boats on Lake Winnemaugwithout placing a new and substan-tial regulatory presence on the lake.

That notwithstanding, but con-trary to these gentlemen's asser-tions, I have said and I have writtenrepeatedly that an improved andwell-managed boat launch wouldbe a great advantage to Watertownand the Lake Winnemaug commu-nity. However, their ordinancedoesnot provide for a boat launch onLake Winnemaug.

If that is what they wanted thenthey should have passed an ordi-nance to provide for a boat launch.What their ordinance does providefor are gasoline-powered boats onlake Winnemaug and we would dowell to remember that.

The presence of gasoline-pow-ered boats on Lake Winnemaugwill serve only to make this publiclake captive to a small group ofprimarily non-residents who havethe money to drag big boats to asmall lake. This will truly make it aprivate pond; no one else could useit or would want to.

Watertown has a great resourcein Lake Winnemaug and it wouldbe very sad for our township,community and environment to

destroy this resource in a blind at-tempt to get "free money" to buildan unwanted, unneeded and dan-gerous boat launch for the benefitof a small number of wealthy non-residents.

The ordinance permitting gaso-line-powered boats on Lake Win-nemaug should be repealed imme-diately.

Sincerely,Walter C. Boutwell, M.D.,

Exodus of jobs,finances abettedfinancial mess

To The Editor:I must reply to Brian Flaherty's

treatise on the Republican vs.Democratic plan for Social Secu-rity now being bandied about bythe Washington elite.

Social Security would not be introuble if we didn't allow all ourmanufacturers and bankers to takethe factories and finances to for-eign lands. Just yesterday (Decem-ber 28) a report from theBloombergBusiness News quoting DavidGeorge, president and CEO ofUnited Technologies, said, "Since1990, we have eliminated 33,000jobs in the U.S. yet, over the sametime, we hired 15,000 outside theU.S. There is no reason this trendwon't continue."

Now is the time, Brian, to thinkabout how much in Social Securitytaxes the government will collectfrom the 33,000 on unemploymentand the 15,000 working outside theU.S. And, while we're at it, let'sfigure how much United Technolo-gies' share of its contribution toSocial Security will go toward theCEO's bonus at year end.

Brian, I believe a little historylesson will show that Social Secu-rity's problems began back in the1960s when the Republicans and

Democrats in Congress supportedLyndon Baines Johnson's GreatSociety. That's when they raidedSocial Security surpluses to makeWashington look like the greatsavior of mankind.

So, now where are we? We'rebehind the eight ball and over thebarrel, thanks to infighting andname calling by political partyhacks. When are the United Statescitizens going to come first?

That Republican plan nowmaking the rounds in Congress isno panacea either. If they come upwith a tax cut for workers in theirSocial Security contribution, theyalso cut itfor the employer's match-ing fund contribution. Consider aweekly cutof $2 for each employee;the employer will get the same $2times the number of employees.

How much will that add up to foran employer like United Technolo-gies who is laying off in the UnitedStates and building up in foreignlands? Got an answer? Or, wouldan answer not be politically expedi-ent?

People who play in right fieldshould play outside the confines ofthe ballpark. That's too far right.

Lake Winnemaugresidents havedifferent views

To The EditorThis letter is in response to

comments made by former (town)councilmen (William) Breg and(Alan) Mickel in the December 28issue of the Town Times regardingthe ordinance change allowingpower boats on Lake Winnemaug.I am in total disagreement withtheir assessment of the process bywhich the change was enacted.

The discussion of this issue was

not well publicized as is their con-tention. An issue of this magnitudeshould have been the subject ofmuch greater public discussionbefore the vote for change. I con-tend that they did not want inputfrom lake area residents knowingthe outrage they would have cre-ated.

A simple flyer in area mailboxeswould have served to inform citi-zens directly affected by the issue.Dr. (Walter) Boutwell was onlyone of the large majority of lakeresidents taken totally by surpriseby the council's action.

The councilmen also state thatthe Parks and Recreation Depart-ment will considerpublic input fromresidents when regulations are set.This is an obvious buck passingattempt since residents makinginquiries to Parks and Rec weremet with a lack of knowledge onthe issue and were referred back tothe present council.

The councilmen also describeDr. Boutwell's fear of litigationresulting from an accident as hys-teria. Maybe they forgot that disal-lowing power boats on the lakemany years ago was the result of afatal accident. One can only imag-ine the aftermath of such an acci-dentintoday'satmosphereof frivo-lous lawsuits! The fact that thisaccident occurred only points to thedanger of power boats on the lake.

The ludicrous comment aboutDr. Boutwell's concern for theenvironment particularly annoyedme. His concern, as is mine, is topreserve the wildlife and environ-ment that presently exists and de-fend against its further dismantling.It is far too apparent that the coun-cilmen and the state have no con-cern for either.

The last point in the letter is thatDr. Boutwell wants to keep LakeWinnemaug as a private pond forhimself. If they read his letter care-fully the councilmen would haveread the doctor describe attempts toimprove public access to the lake aslaudable. For their information, this

means he is in agreement withexpanding access.

I, too, feel better access is aworthy goal, but not by destroyingthe lake and immediate area. Thiscan be accomplished by creating aparking area with a few thousanddollars of crushed stone and townlabor. This will allow easier port-age for canoes, rowboats, daysail-ers, etc., to gain access withoutdestroying the lake and withouthaving to yield to state-mandatedregulations.

Also, their description of thisbody of water as a pond must havebeen a Freudian slip. Certainlypower boats should not be allowedon ponds.

The councilmen and TownManager (John)Salomonestate thaitheir only interest in this change isfor the taxpayers. They are forget-ting that the lake area residents aretaxpayers too, and that their inter-est in this matter should have car-ried extra weight since they will

have to live every day with theconsequences of this ordinancechange.

They need to keep in mind thaithis "pond" as they describe it issurrounded by permanent year-round homes and is not a summerresort. If they feel an overwhelm-ing need to destroy a Watertownlake, maybe they should look atCrcstbrook (Park) lake, which isalready a recreation area with nohousing surrounding it

Would the councilmen and Mr.Salomone feel the same way aboutthis issue if they owned lake areaproperty? I think not!

Lastly, the slate EPA's require-ment of powerboats in exchangefor funding of a boat ramp leavesme with serious doubt as to themission of this agency. Is thisenvironmental protection?

Concerned overnew emphasisat high school

To The Editor:This letter is in response to an

article printed in the Town Times,on December 21, 1995, entitled"Wisdom of Senior Citizens."

Itconsisted of comments by bothMr. (Jack) Mills and Dr. (Dinoo)Dastur, the superintende*"" ofschools. Mr. Mills expresses >n-cern that the general public is over-looking adequate funding for edu-cation. Dr. Dastur commented onthe spending of millions for na-tional defense, and also took issuewith the huge salaries for profes-sional sports figures.

Both persons forget that one is aquestion of taxes while the other isa business dependent upon volun-tary contributions.

Funding for education has be-come a national issue. The Repub-lican-American has printed manyarticles on the subject. An Associ-ated Press reprint of expendituresin the 1990-1991 school year wasprojected at $384 billion nation-ally, and from all sources of reve-nue.

The following year this climbedto $413.8 billion. In the 1992-1993year this had climbed to $413.8billion. In the 1992-1993 year theestimate had risen to $445 billionfor all levels of schooling. Theabove statistics were printed onSeptember 3 and 6,1991 and 1992,of this publication.

These figures show Americansare willing to spend the money forall levels of education. So it is notthe amount of money spent, butrather how it is distributed. Allresources are limited.

At the local level taxpayer fund-ing for schools has been a focalissue over the last five years. Wehave seen an increase in non-teach-ing positions, plus expanded alh-letic programs.

the new addition to the curricu-lum at the high school of the hu-manities program, with its empha-sis on art and music, is a case inpoint. This, plus the ambitious five-year plan for the arts, can only leechmoney from the more importantacademic programs.

With the prospect of a newschool on the horizon, can it be thatit comes to be a school for theperforming arts?

Nothing ever stands still, butwhat had been a fine school basedon academic excellence is slowlybeing turned into an institution forfun and games.

training at the elementary and jun-ior high levels.

A talented and gifted programshould be developed not as an iso-lated program, but rather throughproject-based teams, she said, whereall students work on projects ac-cording to their abilities and moti-vation.

Technology would provide anenvironment for the talented andgifted child, according to Dr. Das-tur, who said the children would be

ght in the mainstream, just as...jcial education students are.

"Every principal has a goalworking with teachers to developproject-based learning," Dr. Das-tursaid.

"In developing the budget, I'mgoing to request more money fortechnology, request librarians forthe elementary schools and staffingfor music and art. Currently, stu-dents take one period per week ofart and music, which works out toone minute of individualized atten-tion per child per week. That isnothing," Dr. Dastur said.

The Board of Education's NewSchool Building Task Force willcontinue to address the need for anew school building, she contin-ued. "Our statistics show ourschools are overcrowded and thereis inequity in our facilities. We haveto address that issue. Large classsizes — 30 students per class in theelementary schools — do create

limitations and have an effect onchildren.

"We had a very good 1995,"Dr.Dastur said. "The Watertown HighSchool accreditation went well, werestructured the alternative school,revived the senior play, and starteda school-to-career program to en-sure students get jobs when theyfinish high school or college."

Other accomplishments includeautomating the high school library,hiring a librarian at Swift JuniorHigh and completing major schoolrepair bonding projects. "All ourbuildings look good," she said.

"Swift has a very active studentcouncil and peer mediation pro-gram. It makes you feel so proud oflittle kids resolving conflicts in theearly stages. The student councilwas very active during NationalEducation Week.

"The elementary schools arevery active with PTO programs andvolunteer parents helping withprojects. It has made our elemen-tary schools very effective.

broken their front door. Officersobserved the broken door sur-rounded by broken glass, accord-ing to police.

Mr. Ameden said the group wasout in the street screaming andmaking noise and that he yelleddown to them from his apartment tobe quiet, but they continued to yellback at him. Mr. Ameden went tohis front door to go to the nearby 7-Eleven store to call police, but agroup of about eight people wereblocking the door.

His neighbors, Frank E. Franc-eskino, 26, and Dawn Franceskino,32, both of 195 Davis, attacked hisdoor and broke the glass and Ms.Franceskino threw a snowball, hit-ting Mr. Ameden in the face. Mr.Ameden then sprayed Mace intothe group to protect himself and thegroup dispersed. He estimated thedamage to the door at approximately$200.

The group said they were in thestreet in front of the apartmentmaking noise celebrating the newyear, and Mr. Ameden yelled downto them to be quiet, but that they didnotattackthedoorandweresprayed

th Mace without provocation.*~ Oakville residents Troy Blaneyand Jimmy O'Brien were hit withthe Mace and refused medical treat-ment, police said. Others in thegroup included Richard EH andMelissa DeLorenzo of Oakville.

Both Mr. Franceskino and Ms.Franceskino denied breaking thedoor, but Ms. Franceskino admit-ted to hitting Mr. Ameden in theface with a snowball, and Mr. Franc-eskino had cuts and blood on hishands apparently from the brokendoor, police said.

Mr. Franceskino and Ms. Franc-eskino were arrested for breach ofpeace and criminal mischief in thethird degree. Both were held on$500 bond and were scheduled toappear in court on Tuesday.

"We want to work with thecommunity," said Dr. Dastur, whotried, through the Town Times'"Superintendent'sCorner" column"to keep the community informedas to what their dollars are buying."The community is appreciative of

ourschools,"shesaid."Ihave heardvery littlecriticism. So many peoplewant to move into Watertown, andthere are new subdivisions and newhomes being built.

"We had a good year and wehope to have a better year," said Dr.

Dastur, who expressed thanks to"parents, Board of Educationmembers, staff and the communityfor their support and confidence. Iwould like to wish everyone apros-perous 1996 and tell the students to'keep up the good work.'"

"The part that's very exciting is that we couldprovide more services than what we're presentlyoffering," Mr. Dodge said. Backing projects such asglaucoma screening and blood pressure screenings arejust two ideas that might fit very nicely into the newclub's repertoire of activism.

"We must put aside the protectionism mindset thatoneclub and only one club per town will and can handleall of the humanitarian needs of a town," Mr. Dodgewrote. "We must open our minds to a vision of thefuture, where we will have many clubs, working sideby side, in a common humanitarian cause.

"I foresee the day when we will have two or moreLions clubs in every town, affording all community-minded citizens with varied lifestyles, the opportunity

to join the world of Lionism," he observed.While in Watertown the Lions have a chief "rival"

in the Watertown Rotary Club, Mr. Dodge said in effectthat whether there are Kiwanis,Rotarians,elc. operatingin the same community, "we should embrace them asour brothers in service. They are not the enemy, but apartner in our common community service."

Mr. Blanchard said applications will be available atWednesday's meeting, and officers will be chosen.Those coming on as day Lions will be recognized ascharter members of the group.

More information on Wednesday's meeting can beobtained by calling Mr. Blanchard at 274-0590.

Council to rethink(Continued from page 1)

Alan Chapin, who said residents and local officials are concerned aboutthe effects of the launch on public safety, the environment and enforce-ment.

"Who's going to pay to patrol this thing?" Mr. Chapin asked. Cur-rently, the towns which border the lake are charged with enforcing itssafety and paying for local boat patrols. There are no state Department ofEnvironmental Protection employees assigned to the lake.

"If DEP is going to open (the lake) up, I'm not going to enforce it," headded.

The state is being pressured by various fishing organizations andsportsmen's clubs who want access to the lake, Mr. Chapin said. "I wouldassume the plan would be to construct (the launch) at the slate park withstate funds."

At the present time, the town of Washington is attempting to negotiatea compromise with the state, he said.

FOOTNOTES• a continuing column on foot health •

AMBULATORY FOOT SURGERYAmbulatory foot surgery is a term synonymous

with out-patient surgery or same-day surgery. Itentails no overnight hospitalization. The majority ofelective surgical procedures performed today aredone on an ambulatory basis.

Ambulatory foot surgery is thus elective surgeryperformed on the foot which requires no hospital-ization. An out-patient surgical center is used, fully

staffed with anesthesiologists and specially trained surgical and recovery roomnurses, to offer the patient optimal surgical and post-operative care. The patientis able to ambulate on the foot after surgery in most cases.

Ambulatory foot surgery is a term also used for minimal incision surgery. Thistype of surgery is performed in the office using tiny incisions just big enough toallow the bit of a drill to be inserted to cut the bone.

Our surgical philosophy is that of a team approach at a recognized out-patientsurgical facility using standard orthopedic principles. We do not perform minimalincision surgery and feel our results are more predictable and satisfactory.

rtsIndians endure case of winter blahs

WHS hockey and boys' basketball teams are staggering into 1996

TAKING THEIR LUMPS: After a series of successful seasons, theWHS hockey teams is going through a transitional season, wherecelebrations after goals (in top picture, Indians gather tocongratulate Vic Vicenzi after scoring during 8-4 loss to Ridgefieldon December 23) have been few and far between; more oftenopponents have been winning the physical battles (Rich Dewstakes a shot in bottom photo). Photos courtesy of Dick Beveridge.

by Jim DrcherTrailing 3-1 after two solid peri-

ods of hockey against Lyman Hallon December 30, the WatertownHigh School hockey team seemedpoised to make a run at their firstvictory of a (thus far) trying 1995-96 season.

ButtheTrojans unleashed afour-goal, third-period blitz whichdashed.those hopes as they poundedthe Indians 7-4, to drop the locals to0-5.

Geoff Mongillo proved to be toomuch for the Indians, as he scoredfour times, an effort which ShaunGallagher's two-goal, two-assisteffort couldn't overcome.

Rich Dews (who added an as-sist) and Vic Vicenzi also scoredfor WHS; Paul Coupland (2) and

Chris Sabis chipped in with assists.Greg Momesano made 18 saves

in the WHS net before giving wayto Scott Berube, who stopped sevenTrojan shots.

TIDAL WAVECan things get any worse for the

Indians?Probably not, as the 1995-96

WHS campaign may have hit rockbottom on December 27 at theCanterbury School Rink when theywere pounded by New Miiford 9-2to drop their record to 0-4.

Jason Perrillo and Jeremy Ger-rish scored the Indians goals.

Farmington, the Indians playedperhaps their best game of the sea-

SOUD PERFORMER: MarkSmolleydidallhe couldforWHSin the Indians' 92-57 loss toWilby on December 27, as heled the Indians with 16 pointsand 10 rebounds.

by Jim DreherPerhaps the best thing to happen

to the 1995-96 Watertown HighSchool boys' basketball team hasalready happened:

The 1995 portion of the seasonis now history; maybe 1996 willbring better fortunes to coach KenBerube's beleaguered crew, whichfell to 0-4 after a 70-59 loss toNaugatuck at WHS on December29.

A breakthrough into the victorycolumn against the Greyhoundsseemed possible for the Indians,who found themselves trailing byonly one at halftime, 29-28.

Slowly but surely, though,Naugy pulled away in the secondhalf, led by the scoring and board-woikof forward Matt Beniash, whofinished the evening with 13 pointsand 10 rebounds.

Mark Smolley led the Indianswith 15, while John Zaborowskicontributed a double-double effortof 12 points and 12 rebounds.

WILDCATTEDThe holiday break was no break

at all for the Indians, who fell to 0-3 after absorbing a 92-57 NVLbeating from Wilby on December27 at WHS.

A balanced Wildcat attack thatfeatured five players scoring indouble figures proved to be toomuch for the undermanned Indi-ans, who were playing withoutCraig Prasauckas, who suffered aninjury to his shooting hand after his27-point performance againstWolcott four days earlier.

Mark Smolley tried to pick upthe slack, as he scored 16 points andadded 10 rebounds to lead the Indi-ans, but the Wildcats, led by Ter-

SHADES OF GRAY: TammyGray has been a solidperformerfor the WHS girls' basketballteam this season; her efforthelped the Indians snap a three-game losing streak againstWilby on December 27.

by Jim DreherNAUGATUCK — The Water-

town High School girls' basketballteam continued its up and downpattern, dropping a 52-32 decisionagainst Naugatuck on December30 to fall below .500 at 3-4.

Heather Yablonski proved to betoo much for the Indians to handle,as she scored 18 points and pulleddown 14 rebounds to lead the Grey-hounds.

Leading the WHS attack wasCarrie Donorfio, whose 11 pointsmade the the only Indian player indouble figures; Tammy Gray addedeight points.

TAMING THE 'CATSThe 0-5 Wilby team proved to

be the perfect holiday tonic for theIndians, who snapped their three-game losing streak on December27 by a 40-22 score.

Gray and Heather Benson lednine WHS players who scored, eachtallyingeightpointstoleadtheWHSscorers, as the Indians evened theirwon-lost record at 3-3.

Kim Welch added six and Don-orfio chipped in five for the Indi-ans.

NOTES: The Indians' hit theroad for their next pair of contests,as they visit Sacred Heart tomor-row (Friday) and Holy Cross onTuesday, with both evenings be-ginning with the jayvee matchupsat 5:30, followed by the 7:00 var-sity tipoffs.

Inside...BleacherShots, WAYS &youth hockey!

Freshmen findgoing tough;

Brogna patientby Jim Dreher

They weren't yelling andscreaming at their team, not inpublic, anyway; that's not the styleof either coaches Rico Brogna orJerry Valentino.

However, it was easy to tell thethe head coach and his assistantwere being slowly eaten away astheir WHS freshmen were beingdissected by an opportunisticNaugatuck team on December 29at the high school.

The final was 56-27 (and itwasn't even that close), as the Indi-ans fell to 0-4.

Time to take a close look in themirror as the new year gets under-way.

As a reward for their play duringthe loss to Wilby, Brogna startedTony Perugini and Jesse Donahue,who combined for nine points offthe bench in the final quarter.

Shaking up the lineup had someearly effect, as both Perugini andDonahue took the ball to the basketearly, drawing fouls and convert-ing the free throws.

Perugini'sbeautiful bounce passto Bruce Lavoie gave the Indians aS^Iead.

Itall went wrong from thatpointon, as turnovers played a major rolein an 8-0 Naygy run, which gavethe Greyhounds a 15-9 lead afterthe first quarter.

Both teams were sloppy in thesecond quarter, in which Naugyoutscored WHS 9-7. The Grey-hounds would straighten their shipout, however, in the third quarter.

Outscoring the Indians by a 20-7 margin turned the game into arout, and try as they might withevery possible combination oflineups, Brogna was helpless atstopping the bleeding, which con-tinued through a 12-4 fourth quar-ter until the merciful final buzzer.

John V Anthony led WHS witheight points; Luis Nazario addedfive.

It was a big step backwards forthe team, which was coming off adecent performance against Wilby.

SHOWING SIGNS"We're getting better, I saw

improvement over our previousefforts, and that's a positive sign."

Despite a 58-50 loss to Wilby onDecember 27 that dropped his squadto 0-3, Brogna saw enough duringthe first 13 minutes of the game tosee a positive side.

In that stretch, the Indians didthe things which Brogna wasn'tseeing in the contests before theChristmasbreak: solid rebounding,good positioning, crisp passing andthe most crucial element of all to

Brogna — hustle.Brogna, in fact, took part of the

blame for Wilby's 30-8 spurtthrough the late stages of the sec-ond quarter and into the third, whichsaw a 26-15 WHS lead turned intoa 45-35 Wilby advantage.

"I didn't see that some of theguys were dragging out there a bit,"said Brogna, "so I'll take the hit forthat."

The Indians did indeed comeout looking like they were ready forbusiness during the first quarter, asLavoie, J'Anthony and Bob Smol-ley accounted for the first threebaskets.

Smolley led the way during the15-point opening quarter with sixof his team-high 14 points, includ-ing a follow of a missed free throwat the buzzer.

J'Anthony took over in the sec-ond quarter, in which he scoredseven of his nine points, includinga driving lay-in which gave theIndians a 26-15 lead.

Watertown was showing signsof slowing down, though, as thequicker Wilby team was able to runby Indian defenders for easy bas-kets to cut into the lead, whichshrunk to 27-25 at the half.

After Wily took a quick third-quarter lead, Smolley's three-pointer gave Watertown its finallead at 29-28.

Lavoie, who would finish with11 points, scored the next two Indi-ans' hoops on lay-ins, but the diewas cast for this one.

Brogna took long looks at Do-nahue and Perugini during the finaleight minutes, and must have beenpleased with what he saw, as thetwo. combined for nine points.

Bleacher Shotsby Jim Dreher

Before opening up the 1996 editions, let's close out 1995 with a fewlast holiday leftovers:

Didn't the bozos at Giants Stadium realizing that they were desecratingthe grave of Jimmy Hoffa that afternoon?

Shame on you'se all, as some of J.H.'s friends would have said.Did the Yankees make a late rush, or what last week?Suddenly, the pitching has gone from question mark to exclamation

point with the addition of Kenny Rogers and his 17-7 record as 2starter behind David Cone, and it also gives the Yanks that added buirdogpresence, as both of them relish the challenge of pitching in New York.

As the Rulles once sang, "All You Need is Cash."Joe Torre now has the luxury of letting Jimmy Key and Melido Perez

rehab at their own pace, instead of rushing them back the first time theythrow off a mound without any pain.

And that's a nice luxury to have.Suddenly the Yanks have recovered from their early stumbles. I mean,

even though he's 36, don't you feel a tad more comfortable with TimRaines in left field instead of Ruben Sierra?

Of course you do.NFL PLAYOFFS: Let's hope this weekend gives us a little more juice

than last weekend's fiasco.It will be interesting to see if the season-ending seven-game winning

streak will be enough to keep Lions coach Wayne Fontes employed afteranother playoff blowout.

So much for the Chargers knowledge of how to get the Super Bowl,huh?

Let's forge ahead.NFC: I can't believe the Niners are 10-point favorites over the Packers.

Lest we forget, the Niners come off a loss to Atlanta, which cost themhome field, and the Pack, led by MVP Brett Favre, seem to be on a majorroll.

I like the possibility of a Shootout here, but the Niners will prevail.... SAN FRANCISCO 38-34.

The "How "bout them Cowboys!" host the Eagles, with the spread evenlarger (14 points). Rest assured, the Iggles won't hang another 58 on theboard (we can dream though), and the Cowboys are just itching for achance at the team which shocked them by a 20-17 on December 10 afterBarry Switzer's ill-fated fourth-down call on his own 29.

That was then, and that was in Philadelphia.In Big D, it's been all "How 'boutThems!"recen!ly.Dallashasnotlost

at home to Philly since 1991.They'll make it eight of the last nine, and go on to face the Niners in

an unprecedented fourth consecutive NFC Championship Game at TexasStadium on January 14 DALLAS 37-13.

AFC: The Buffalo Bills travel to Pittsburgh totake on the SteelerNation Saturday afternoon, and while it will be a challenge, the Bills haveproven they can win in a playoff situation at Three Rivers Stadium (24-3 back on January 9, '93).

Should the Bills be able to get the ground game moving as they did intheir thrashing of Miami, they can do it again, but the teams which havethat extra week of rest have such a huge edge, that I think Neil O' Donnellwill do enough to get his team to Kansas City STEELERS 23-14.

Can the Colts go into Kansas City and beat the Chiefs, who posted anNFL-best 13-3 record?

With a 100 percent Marshall Faulk, no way.Without a 100 percent Marshall Faulk, no way times no way infinity.

...CHIEFS 35-10.WHAT I WANT TO SEE HAPPEN IN 1996: In no particular o rder -Wins for the WHS hockey, freshmem and varsity basketball teams.A CIAC Tournament berth for the girls.A Cowboys loss in the playoffs; doesn't matter when.

The Jets to select Keyshawn Johnson with the No. I pick in the NFLdraft; the USC receiver did it all gainst Northwestern in the Rose Bowl.

The go after Neil O' Donnell to get him the balLDan Reeves to stay with the Giants.The Mets and Yankees in the playoffs, which is not that far-fetched.Joe Torre: American League Manager of the Year.Rico Brogna: 25 homers, 80 RBI, .290 average, and a multi-ye; al

with the Mets.Cal Ripken to keep going... and going... and going... until he wants

to stop.A damn Basic Agreement.Redemption for Colin Campbell: The Rangers win the Cup.Enough points for the Whalers to get into the playoffs, because all

that's at stake here is the future of pro sports in the state.NCAA titles for the UConn men AND women, so that otherwise sane

people can get on with their lives.A losing season for the Miami Heat, and for Don Nelson to take the

Knicks at least one round further in the playoffs than they went last year.A winning football season at WHS, and a few more night games.Sara Titus to pick up where she left off during the spring track season.One of the Grechika's to pitch a no-hitter this coming baseball season.

'Round the rinkswith Watertown Youth Hockey

While most of us were kicking back and enjoying theholidays, the Watertown YouthHockey squads were burningoff excess energy, as they played a full slate of games.

BANTAMSThe W YH Bantams completed a busy holiday schedule

with three victories and a pair of defeats. The RedWingsextended their unbeaten streak to seven games with twowins over East Haven and a victory over Salisbury.

The sluggish3-l win over East Haven was paced by thetwo-goal effort of Matt Maruca, while Garris Bates addedone. Peter Ventresca added a pair of assists, while BrettCalabrese and and Mark Deschenes added one each.

Mike Casey turned back eight of the nine shots on himin the Watertown goal.

The next day against the same East Haven squad, thelocals left no questions unanswered, as they blasted 45shots on their way to an 11-1 victory.

East Haven managed only nine shots on Casey as theWatertown backline completely throttled the East Havenattack.

Deschenes, with a hat trick and two assists, led theoffensive onslaught, with assistance from Maruca (twogoals, three assists), Sam Barber (two goal, assist), JoshWagner (three assists), Bryan Heffeman, Bates andVentresca (one goal), and Calabrese (assist).

Wagner, Heffeman, Chris McKee and and MarkMansour played strong defensively.

In the Salisbury Tournament, the Wings advanced tothe finals, where they lost a tough 3-2 decision toTrinity-Pawling.

In the tournament opener, Watertown defeated hostSalisbury by a 6-2 margin, pouring 38 shots on goal in theprocess, while allowing only nine on Casey, who turnedback a penally shot and foiled two breakaway attempts.

Desehenes (two goals, assist), Maruca (goal, twoassists), Ventresca (two goals). Barber (goal, assist), Balesand Wagner (assists) did the scoring,

Jn their first contest againstTrinity-Pawling, Watertownlost by a 3-1 count, with Barber the lone goal scorer.

The title contest saw Watertown take a quick 1-0 leadon a David Schlitter goal, butT-P struck back late in the

opening period, then converted on the power play early inthe second to take the lead.

Adam Dumoch took a beautiful feed from Bates to tiethe contest at two, butT-P scored early in the third and heldon for the win.

The RedWings are 10-6-1 on the season.

SQUIRTSThe "A" team was also busy, posting five wins and a

loss to take a 14-2 record into 1996.A strong Southeastern "A" team handed the locals

Osetback, holding WYHtolOshots. Goalie Jeff Laperneiehad little support while managing to him back 18 shots.

Four straight wins and thechampionshipof the SalisburyTournament followed.

Mike Murphy's pair of goals keyed a 3-2 openingvictory over Trinity-Pawling. Matt Whitney added a goal,while Josh Ferreira, Mike Boglarski and Mike Dubroskipicked up assists. Laperriere had 24 saves.

A 5-1 win over Salisbury followed, with Whitney (2),Murphy, Boglarski and Kate Hobart scoring. Joey Bunnelland WLll Carpenter assisted. Laperriere made 10 saves.

Sheffield fell next by a 4-1 count, as Boglarski andFerrieraeach scored twice, withMurphy, Whitney, Wilson,Dubroski, Ferriera and Bunnell assisting. Laperriere made16 saves.

The title tilt was a thriller with Watertown jumping outto a 3-1 lead and then holding on, as Wilson and Barberplayed solid defense in front of Laperriere when it matteredmost.

Ferriera, Murphy and Dubroski scored, with Wilsonpicking up the lone assist. Lapemere made 23 mostlydifficult saves.

Another contest with T-P followed, and despite thetriple whammy of vacations, injuries and the flu, which leftthe team with only eight skaters, die Wings responded.

Did they ever!Laperriere posted his ninth shutout, this one by a 1-0

score in a fast-paced defensive contest.Whitney scored the lone goal, while Laperriere made

14 saves.

Beyond the Freedom Trail of Bostonby George Hobica

Just about everyone has someacquaintance with the Boston ofthe Freedom Trail, Old Ironsides,the Old North Church ("one if bysea") and all that You know, Bos-ton, the short form, the Boston yousee on the orientation video as youfly into Logan airport.

Now, I've got nothing againstold, Boston or otherwise. Old hat isanother thing. What about off-the-beaten-trail Boston, the tour thatmost visitors don't go on? Listen,dear readers, and you shall hearabout Boston beyond Paul Revere

—the Boston that lives a bit off theusual tourist track.

I've lived in Boston all my life,but the capital of Massachusetts,like its somewhat undemonstrativecitizens, takesa while to know well.The Hub, as locals modestly call it(as in hub of the universe, no less),continually surprises me. Hiddenhere and therein the city await littletreats to amaze the longtime resi-dent and curious visitor alike.

The best way to get acquaintedwilh this multifaceted city's nooksand crannies is to take a walk. Puton your most sensible shoes and

come along. We'll start in CopleySquare, in the heart of Boston'sBack Bay section.

You could climb the HancockTower, 62 floors and 740 feet andNew England's tallest skyscraper(200 Clarendon Street, 617-247-1977). But hey, do it on your owntime. We're doing the off-the-beaten-trail, remember?

Instead, skip this glass towerdesigned by I.M. Pei and head forthe Boston Public Library —America's first free municipal li-brary (thecurrentbuilding was con-structed in 1895) and the sixth larg-est in the United States. Go upstairsto the third floor where you'll findthe Sargent Gallery.

John Singer Sargent consideredthe murals here his masterpiece,and they remain one of urban Amer-ica's true hidden treasures.

On the way up, note the splendidmarble carvings and pop into the218-foot-long main reading room,wilh its 50-foot-high barrel-vaultedceiling. Then go outside and visitthe oasislike central courtyard wilh,in clement weather, its flowers andfountains. I could easily spend anafternoon here pretending to read agood book, but more likely quite

asleep, sunk in one of the sturdy,academic-looking wooden chairs.

Across Dartmouth Street awaitsthe Copley Plaza Hotel, another ofmy favored haunts and home of theCopley Plaza Bar, an institution asfamous for its potent drinks andjazzy piano riffs as its ornatelycoffered ceiling.

But the real find here is the"library bar" (so hush-hush itdoesn't even have a real name).Actually, it's the anteroom to thePlaza's elegant dining room, a littlehideaway just off the lobby, whereyou can sip tea or martinis and beneither seen nor heard, rest, have atete-a-tcte with friends or conductan informal business powwow.

I can almost guarantee it'll bejust you and the books. Unless, ofcourse, I'm there with Charlotte.Charlotte is my wheaten terrier.They love her at the Plaza, and sheloves the clubby atmosphere.

Charles Gibson loved a clubbyatmosphere, too. Scion of a distin-guished Boston Brahmin family,he belonged to the city's most ex-clusive clubs. Indeed, the six-storyVictorian house museum (137Beacon Street) that bears his namelooks so lived-in that one can'thelpthink the old boy has just poppedout for a bite of scrod and bakedbeans at the Algonquin or theSomerset or some other member-ship-only enclave.

Keepsakes from the master'scollege days (Harvard, of course)and mementos such as photo al-bums and sheet music lie abouthere and there, inviting perusal.Three generations of Gibsons livedin this unique setting — Charles,unwed and childless, was the last.

It's the closest you and I willever get to experiencing life in aBack Bay mansion in the days whenthe Lodges spoke only to the Cab-ots — or perhaps vice versa. Any-way, tours (it probably will be just

you and the guide) are provided at1, 2 and 3 p.m., and the museum(617-267-6338) is open Wednes-day through Sunday, and week-ends only November to April.

Not enough visitors take the timeto stroll through the residentialstreets just beyond the Gibsonhouse's mahogany doors. Youshouldn't leave town without ex-ploring the loop west along Com-monwealth Avenue (you can call itComm Ave) and then east alongMarlborough Street — one ofAmerica's loveliest urban neigh-borhoods.

Ah, Comm Ave! I've traveled toevery major U.S. city and manyforeign ones, but I' ve never found astreet quite as impressive as thisleafy, broad boulevard. Its beautyis in part explained by the fact thatplanners modeled it after BaronHaussmann's Parisian thorough-fares — no wonder the FrenchConsulate feels at home here at No.3.

Next door to that redoubt ofGallic culture, you'll find the Bay-lies Mansion at 5 CommonwealthAve., once the home of a textilemagnate but now that of theBostonCenter for Adult Education. Fur-ther up, at No. 217, is the Algon-quin Club wilh its forbidding lime-stone facade.

At Hereford Street, take a rightand thenanotherrightonto Marlbor-ough Street, with its mansard-roofed homes (many in the Frenchacademic style), brick sidewalksand gas lights, ail of note. Fromhere, continue straight ahead untilyou reach the Boston Public Gar-den (not to be confused with thescruffier Boston Common acrossCharles Street).

Where is there an urban park ofits ilk? Central Park dwarfs it, ofcourse, but only in London have Iseen anything as serene and well-tended. In the summer, when the

Real Estatefamous Swan Boats are running, Itreat my guests to a ride. In winter,this is a pleasant place to ice skate.

From here we head straight toCharles Street and Beacon Hill,taking a right on Mount VemonStreet to cobblestoned Louisburg(don't forget to pronounce the "s")Square. Jenny Lind, the "SwedishNightingale," lived at No. 20;Louisa May Alcott put pen to paperji-* down the block at No. 10.

:y other favorite Beacon Hillbuildings are all on Mount VernonStreet. At No. 55 is the NicholsHouse Museum (617-227-6993),where Rose Nichols, writer, land-scape architect and niece of Augus-tus Saint-Gaudens, the sculptor,lived until she died at age 88. Itslarge front yard and wrought-irongate make 59 Mount Vemon St.noteworthy.

B ut the real stars are the S tephenHigginson House at No. 87 and theHarrison Gray Otis House (circa1802) at No. 85. The latter is thesecond of three houses designed forOtis by Charles Bullfinch.

Continue up Mount Vernon,taking a right on Walnut and an-other down Chestnut. Stop to ad-mire Nos. 13, 15 and 17, whichBullfinch was asked to design aswedding gifts for the daughters ofHepsibah Swan, a Boston heiress.Now turn right on Willow, then leftonto much-photographed, impos-sibly narrow and charming AcornStreet with its heel-wrenchingcobblestones.

A right on Cedar and a left onChestnut will bring you back toCharles Street and the end of thequintessential Boston walking tour.

Of course, much that is goodand unsung about Boston is awayfrom the city center and, if youwere fool enough to rent a car in ametropolis, where every car is amoving target, now's the time touse it. You've no doubt heard of theBunker Hill Monument, which, aswe all know, towers over not Bun-ker but Breeds Hill, Never mind,we're not going there.

Off-the-beaten-trackers willwant to investigate an edifice atopDorchester Heights, which is actu-ally not in Boston's Dorchesterneighborhood at all, but in SouthBoston on Telegraph Street. Fromthis lofty perch, in March of 1776,George Washington fired on and

dispersed the British fleet. The U.S.Park Service is renovating thismarble-clad 100-foot-high obelisk,so you can't climb it right now, but.the view is spectacular even fromground level.

Another great place to viewBoston is right next door inBrookline. If Brookline were acountry, it would be called Swil-zerland.Every thing runs likeclock-work, and the taxes run like spaceshuttles.

But those taxes pay for thingslike great parks, and Larz Ander-son Park (entrance on NewtonStreet) is one of the greatest Fromits highest point you get a pano-ramic view of the city that's espe-cially mesmerizing atnight There'salso a terrific museum of antiqueand classic automobiles.

So. That didn't cost very muchtime or money, did it? A little shoeleather. A little gas. Now you couldcatch one of those ubiquitous sight-seeing "trolleys" or follow the red-lined Freedom Trail and go seecommon Boston (not to be con-fused with Boston Common), theTea Party ship, Paul Revere'sHouse, etc.

But see my Boston, uncommonBoston, first. Oh, and let me knowwhen you're coming. Charlotte'salways looking for folks to take herfor a w-a-l-k.

If you g o . . .Where to stay. To really experi-

ence the city, stay in a bed-and-breakfast inn that is a Victorian-eraSouth End home for around $120 anight. Another B&B option, run bythe John Hancock Insurance Co.for visiting executives, featuresmost of the things you'd find in abig hotel at just $ 100 per night, plus

a Copley Square location. Eithercan be booked through Bed &Breakfast Associates, 800-347-5088.

In historic Back Bay, the CopleyPlaza, 617-267-5300, offers rea-sonable discounts. In the luxurycategory, the Boston Harbor Hotel,617-439-7000, is a nonchain alter-native with a remarkable water-front setting.

Where to eat. Boston's restau-rant scene, once dominated by suchYankee standbys as the UnionOyster House, Durgin-Park andLocke-Ober's, has enjoyed a re-vival over the last few years. Todayyou'll find restaurants that attractnational attention — places withmenu descriptions like, "little cav-iar and ham sandwiches in a puddleof watercress aioli."

My favorite choices includeSeasons, a quiet oasis in the Bosto-nian Hotel; II Panino, for Italianfood in the North End; Salaman-der's, an eclectic newcomer inCambridge; and Icarus, an intimateand elegant 10-year-old in the SouthEnd.

(above Video Depot)

by Chris BarnettLaura Douglas, attorney and

mother of two, has found a neatway to spend more time with herchildren this summer. She takesthem on her business trip.

Ms. Douglas, who works with aheavy equipment manufacturer,travels "either with Sean (3-years-old) or Chris (18 months), depend-ing on the event"

She recently took Sean to Tulsa,Okla., to the launch of a new min-ing track. Because he was not yet 3at the time, he flew free on North-west Airlines.

On a trip to Cleveland to visit anEnvironmental Protection Agencyoffice, Ms. Douglas took Chris andstayed at the Best Western Hotelnear Sea World.

"We played in the pool the eve-ning before, I did my work the nextday and Chris was a hit."

She said the government clerk"treated me better with Chris alongthan if I was alone. Kids help estab-lish rapport."

Plus, neither her boss nor herhusband Scott, a quality controlspecialist for a major automobilemanufacturer, ever object "whenone of the boys travels with me."

A few hotels have rolled out thewelcome mat to youngsters.

Hyatt has a Camp Hyatt pro-gram, and Ritz-Carlton has RiteKids events. But now lower-pricedhotels catering to the frequent busi-ness traveler are encouraging theseroad warriors to bring along theiryoungsters and, perhaps, stay for.the weekend.

Holiday Inn has a summer pro-motion called "Children Eat, Stayand Play Free" at many of its 2,000inns in the United States. It's atiered program, though, with somecatches.

"Children" can be as old as 19to stay free. Ages 12 and under can

eat free. And youngsters of any ageget a free bag of "pogs" on check-in— ostensibly for playing free.

I checked with the Holiday Innon Williams Boulevard in CedarRapids, Iowa.and, sure enough, thesingle room for $70 had two doublebeds and my "child" would not becharged.

The mammoth Red Lion Inn atthe San Jose Airport, a popularbunkhouse for business tracersvisiting California's high-po, edSilicon Valley, doesn't charge forchildren under 18.

Dee, a reservationist, says busi-ness travelers are making theircustomer calls during the week andstaying for the weekend when ratesare slashed from $155 and $175 to$89.

Atlanta software designer Phyl-lis Robinson has taken her 12-year-old daughter with her to California"at least three times."

They stay at the Red Lion onThursday and Friday, then go sight-seeing over the weekend, either toSan Francisco or south to Carmelor Big Sur.

"I use frequent-flyer miles forLanie and I get a lower (rate) forstaying over on Saturday night,"she explains. She also gets a week-end rate from Avis with unlimitedmiles.

A single mom, Ms. Robinsonsays taking her daughter along"takes the loneliness and guilt outof business travel," plus Lanie is"getting an education."

This summer, 40 Westin Hotelsin the United States, Canada andMexico courted business travelerswith a "Kids Stay Free, Kids EatFree" offering through September4. The age limit is 12 and under.Kids get bombarded with goodies— safety kits, toys, sports caps.

Parents whose youngsters havevoracious appetites were madeaware they must order off the chil-dren's menu and the limit is threemeals a day.

Still, check it out before youcheck in for the latest information.The free eats offering isn't avail-able at Westin's hotels at WaltDisney World, in Vail, Colo., or theArizona Biltmore in Phoenix.

Yet different Westins have dif-ferent organized activities: TheWestin Maui has beach bowlinglessons and submarine rides, whilethe Westin Mission Hills Resortnear Palm Springs, Calif., has chil-dren's tennis lessons and naturewalks.

Still, in booking any promo-tional-rate room, ask questions.Westin's toll-free central reserva-tionist quoted $79 a nighj "theWestin Mission Hills Resori .or anadult and child under eight.

But when I asked about the stayfree-eat free offer the price jumpedup to $119 a night The higher rateincluded either golf or tennis les-sons for the child, an hour in the"Cactus Club" (essentially super-vised baby-sitting) and $25 worthof food ordered off the children'smenu.

Even the poshest resorts aredangling incentives in front ofbusiness travelers with youngsters.The Stein Eriksen Lodge in ParkCity, Utah, has a $67 a night "Headto the Mountains" package.

For the price of a night at aHampton Inn, you and a child 12orunder get a deluxe room with viewsof aspens and pines and a Conti-nental breakfast in a luxurious ski

Caceres is a town ofsplit personalities

by Victor BlockIf any town has a split personal-

ity, it is Caceres, the capital of oneof two provinces comprising theExtremadura region of Spain, south-west of Madrid, bordering on Por-

1.The newer part of the small city

(population about 80,000) containshigh-rise apartment buildings, theuniversity of Extremadura and anestimated 800 bars, which localsbrag is the highest per capita con-centration anywhere.

But the heart of Caceres, en-circled by high stone walls, is oneof the best-preserved Moorishtowns in Europe.

A maze of narrow streets, linedby palaces, churches and littlesquares, has retained its medievalcharacter unscathed by the marchof time.

The roots of Caceres may betraced back even further than theMoors. The site was first settled bythe Romans in 28 B.C. The Moors,who followed, laid out much of thecity as it stands today and named itQazris.

For today's visitors, the dualcharacter of the town offers aninviting blend well worth explor-ing.

The focus of contemporaryCaceres is the main square (PlazaMayor), a large irregularly shapedrectangle. Beginning in the 13thcentury, it served as a meeting placefor merchants and tradesmen andwas the site of bullfights and joust-ing tournaments.

Its perimeter is still lined onthree sides by shops and vendors'stalls interspersed by lively cafes.When school is in session, studentsfrom the local university crowd intothe bars, and the air is filled withmusic and their laughter.

On the east side of the squarerises one wall of the old city Strollthrough the gate and you immedi-ately travel several centuries backin time.

Buildings of tan and gray stoneline the streets, which are so narrowthey hardly warrant that name.

Family crests of the originalowners are carved into the facadesof many of the mansions and smallpalaces. A number of them wereconquistadors who left that poorregion to seek their fortune in theNew World. Upon theirretum, theybuiltmonuments to their newfoundwealth.

X one time, the palaces weretopped by towers that were con-structed less for defensive purposes

[ than simply to surpass in heightthose of their neighbors. But thatarchitectural one-upmanship cameto an end in 1476. Queen Isabella,who frowned upon such exhibi-tions of vanity, ordered all of thetowers razed except that which stilladomstheHouseoftheStorks(Casade las Ciguenas).

; The House of the Storks' towerwas spared because the owner was

• a nobleman loyal to the Catholic• monarchs. The name of that proud' structure pays tribute to the gawky,

long-legged birds that build their1 large nests on top of virtually every

battlement, roof and chimney in' Caceres. The stork is beloved as the"• symbol ef the'eitsVand^ttebirds';

clattering beaks provide a constantbackdrop of sound.

The best way to explore oldCaceres is on foot, in part becausethe narrow cobblestone roads arebarely passable to cars. One of thebroadest passageways, known as"the wide street," is only 12 feetacross.

The hilly medieval section is notlarge, measuring about six-by-eightblocks. But it seems much moreextensive because of the labyrinthof narrow streets and the likelihoodthat visitors will get lost and retracetheir steps before making their wayout of the maze.

A stroll provides an endless ar-ray of vistas and encounters withancient structures. One may soakup the atmosphere of centuries pastwithoutknowing the history of eachbuilding. However, a number areworth seeking out and exploring ingreater detail.

St. Paul's Convent (Conventode San Pablo), founded in 1449,serves sweet treats along with itshistory. It is occupied by a closedcommunity of Franciscan nuns ofthe Order of St. Clare. Whetherdevout or simply hungry, visitorsmay place money on a revolvingtray, intone "Sanlissima purissima,"and be rewarded with a serving ofMagdalenas (muffins), yemas deSan Pablo (egg-yolk biscuits) orother snacks that emerge on anantique Lazy Susan.

A short stroll away is the oldJewish quarter, where tiny housesstand in a helter-skelter reminder ofthe past. The major structure in theneighborhood is St. Antony's Her-mitage, a simple, whitewashedchurch built on the site of the for-mer synagogue.

Also of interest is the Arch ofChrist, the only original Romancity gate still standing.

The Archaeological Museum ishoused in a 17th century Moorishalcazar, or palace. Of special inter-est is the roof, which is adorned bya unique balustrade of ceramic jugsand colorfully decorated ceramicgargoyles.

Inside is a surprisingly rich col-lection of exhibits tracing the his-tory of the province, including crudetools found in the area dating back2 million years, Roman carvings,decorative tile mosaics, and Visi-goth and Arabic artifacts.

Also worth a look-see is an artmuseum in the small building adja-cent lo the alcazar. On display arepaintings by Pablo Picasso, ElGreco and a number of other mas-ters.

VisitorstoCaceresmaygeteven .more of a feel for the city by stayingat the local parador, Parador deCaceres, one of the network ofgovemment-owned inns and hotelsthroughout Spain. Occupyinga 14thcentury palace, it is characterizedby a stone facade, original coats ofarms and other authentic touches.

Don't be put off by its ratherbrooding exterior. Inside, guestsenjoy inviting rooms with heavywood furniture, tile floors and theusual amenities of a four-star hotel.This combination of past and pres-ent is characteristic of Caceres.

Travelers to the Extremadura,or even elsewhere in Spain, would

do well to consider a side trip toCaceres. They'll discover an entic-ing but often overlooked town withenough attractions and charm towarrant inclusion on any itinerary.
