Andovervoters in step with the areaBy Neil Fater

Pat Buchanan and the rest of the Republi can presidential hopefuls were Doled over Tuesday, as Andover voters joined other Americans in granting Bob Dole a sweep of the so-called Yankee primary.

In Andover. Republican voters filed 50.1 percent of the ballots for Sen. Dole. Mr. Buchanan (19 percent) and Steve Forbes (18.4 percent) were a distant second and third.

“Yesterday was certainly a good day for Bob Dole, across the primaries,” said Gary Coon, Andover's state representative and the Mass, chairman of the Forbes campaign. “The results in Massachusetts were not unique. There was a pattern yesterday.”

Rep. Coon said he expects Lamar Alexan-

Philip Allen,community pillar, dead at age 86

Philip K. Allen, former Republican state senator, Andover selectman, deputy assistant secretary of defense, and head of the board at Abbot Academy, died of Parkinson’s disease Friday, March 1, at Clark House Nursing Home in Westw-ood . He was 86.

Jack Richards, history and social sciences teacher at Phillips Academy, called Mr. Allen “an unusual man.”

“He was friendly and down-to-earth, truly of noble character. He was intelligent and well-read and interested in worthy institutions as well as individual people. He had tremendous energy and was a person everyone just loved and respected. He had a wonderful sense of humor. Those are just a few of the things that come to mind when one

lic before. And he encouraged the boards to work together on the problem rather than point fingers at each other.

“The same thing is happening over and over and over. For whatever reason, you can’t work together, you have to posture,” Mr. Hastings said.

He urged board members to consider zero-based budgeting and said he saw none of that Thursday night.

The saving grace of the night was that all three boards

selectmen, Finance Committee and School Committee - agreed to meet at least once more to try and resolve the difference on the schools budget before April Town Meeting.

One of the first things selectmen did Thursday night

Zoe Hastings-Vasconcellos, a Doherty Middle School eighth-grader, spoke about the importance of music in the schools, at the three-board meeting last week. “Music is a language that is known throughout the w orld. Now here is a half note not a half note,” she said.

Confusion reigns over school budgetBv Don Staruk

School officials made a good case for a greater increase in the schools budget during the three-board meeting last Thursday night. Feb. 29. But the Finance Committee did just as good a job showing that the schools are already getting a larger increase than other town departments. The night may have been summed up best by David Hastings, of 18 Fleming Ave., one of the last members of the audience to speak, who called the display “magic” on the part of both boards in an effort to make their case.

“I have seen so much magic tonight that it makes me ill,” Mr. Hastings said.

He questioned why all the numbers brought out on both sides had not been made pub

Selectmen:We need solid answers on the building projectBy Neil Fater

The state has confirmed that it will help pay an extra $2.55 million to finish the Andover High School construction project, but Andover selectmen aren’t quite ready to support this request themselves.

After hearing a presentation by the town manager and School Building Committee chairman Monday, selectmen said they still need solid answers about how these millions will be spent. They'll need these answers by next week if the Town Meeting financial


Eric Nadworny says he's running to change mix of School CommitteeBy Perry Colmore

School Committee candidate Eric Nadworny and former candidate Tim McCarron are blunt when talking about the current School Committee. The two spoke at a forum Sunday at Christ Church on Central Street. They said the Schixil Committee isn’t open to communicating with the community. Mr. Nadworny said he is running to change that, and Mr. McCarron said he dropped out of

Incumbent Dick Muller was unable to attend the forum. He was speaking at a memorial service.

“I think Eric and I have similar policies,” said Mr. McCarron, who agreed to attend the forum even though he dropped out of the race last Thursday. “I see Eric and myself splitting votes.” He said he definitely will run next year.

Visionary sees green future, friends see same manBy Neil Fater

Six years ago, Ravi and Jaishree Deshpande had left their jobs and were wondering about their future. Today, Ravi Deshpande is being called “A man of vision."

Why? Because times have changed and Mr. Deshpande, of Sparta Way, is one of those speeding that change along.

Mr. Deshpande known as "Ravi" in Andover and "Desh" in the telecommunications field is the founder of Cascade Communications, a rapidly growing inter networking company now valued around $3 billion. For his efforts toward linking computers, Mr. Deshpande has received a 1996 Visionary Award from CommMzikan'onsWeei and an entrepreneur award from A1 Gore.

But if times and "Desh's" financial fortunes have changed, Mr. Deshpande’s Alidover friends assert that he has not.

“If you looked at him you wouldn’t know he’s the founder of such a big company. He still lives in the same house, a small house in the old section of Andover,” says Gopal Dwarakanath, a friend. “In the last few years he and his wife haven’t changed in any way."

This, perhaps more than his personal success, is why Andover friends and well wish ers are so happy for the Deshpandes. Several threw them a party Sunday and gave Mr. Deshpande their own award. The inscription calls him “A man of vision able to see above and beyond.”

“Everybody’s proud and hap py that he’s had this tremendous accomplishment," says Mr. Dwarakanath. who hosted the party at Woodhaven Drive. “He hates to project himself as a rich man because he comes from a modest background. In spite of all the popularity and wealth he’s still the same man. Usually, people change so rapidly."From the ground up

While Mr. Deshpande has not changed as rapidly as his company’s profit margin, his life does read at times like a Horatio Alger novel.

After coming to Canada in 1973 for a master's degree, he met his future wife, Jaishree. who was also studying for a post-graduate degree. They were married in 1980.

Four years later. Codex, the company he worked for. transferred him to the Boston area. In 1988. he says, "I left Codex cold turkey one day to say, OK, I'm going to start a company.’ ’’

He started Coral Networks with a partner and began to work 17 hours a day, seveo days a week Over time, however, Mr

Ravi Jaishree Deshpande

and his family driving in a green minivan. There’s no Rolls Royce in the driveway, no .Jaguar in the garage.

"It’s sort of the value system we grew up with," says Mr. Deshpande. "I have nothing against living in a big house. But it does take up a lot of time and money to maintain.”

And time is something he still has little of as he continues to put in long hours.

"It hasn’t been a grind, it has been easy. You don't feel that you’re working hard. The only negative piece is that you’re away from your family so much,” he said. "But it’s a lot

of fun and that's the way everyone in the company feels."

Mr. Deshpande claims only five or six people have left the company since it was founded about six years ago.

“None of this happened because of one individual," he says, noting he gets more pleasure from the work than the money.

"It’s a lot more satisfying when you go in and see these big networks running and helping hospitals and businesses and banks," he says. “There’s still a lot to do. It’s not the time to stand back and rejoice.”

Deshpande and his partner had too many differences of opinion, and Mr. Deshpande ultimately decided to leave the firm.

The timing couldn’t have been worse. His wife had just left her job because things were “too hectic” at home with both of them working.

Without jobs, the two of them took a trip to India to figure things out.

“That was sort of a traumatic experience. When you spend 17 hours a day" like he did at Coral, it’s hard to leave, says Mr. Deshpande. “I don’t know how I did it, but in hindsight it turned out to be the best thing I did."

When he returned from India, a venture capitalist with whom he had worked previously said he had some money to invest in a new idea.

Mr. Deshpande says his idea was simple. He looked at how much money had been spent over the last 50 veal’s to connect all the phones in the world and figured the same investment had to happen with computers.

“So 1 knew there would be another opportunity, another $200 billion opportunity," he said. "The idea was to jump in. be the first in the marketplace and build an industrial exchange for computers.”

Nine months after his new company was incorporated, it had its first small computer exchange on the market.

Although he calk'd the company Cascade, since that day it has done nothing but go up, up, up.

Cascade made $700,000 in 1992. In 1993 that exploded to $7 million. which jumped to $50 million the next year, and leaped to $135 million in profits for 1995. The company is growing at such a great rate, Mr. Deshpande says he’s been recruiting five to 10 people a week. He says Cascade stock has gone from $15 a share to around £200.

Yet neighbors can still see him

Mom seeks dog that

bit her daughterBy Don Staruk

Catherine Hauer was in her neighborhood for a walk with Hallie, her 6- year-old daughter, when they ran into a couple walking with their 16-month- old child and two dogs. Hallie went to pet one of the dogs, despite what she’s bet'll told, and it nipped her nose. The bite was nothing more than scratch, and after apologies, everyone went on their own way. Now Ms. Hauer wishes she could find that other couple and their dogs.

The nip broke the skin and is considered a puncture wound. That means Hallie may have contacted rabies. Ms. Hauer made the difficult decision not to have her daughter undergo rabies shots.

“We understand they are quite painful and we talked to two family pediatricians and decided that the threat was minimal.” she said last week.

The 10-dav period during which the shot therapy should have begun ended this past Monday, but the Hauers still want to find the dog and its owner to be sure the dog isn’t rabid.

“That’s my daughter’s life.” Ms. Hauer said.

She didn't exchange information at the time with the dog owner, and she didn’t call the animal control officer or health department. "There were four mothers out there and none of us did the right thing," Ms. Hauer said.

The Hauers live at 4 Hazelwood Circle in the new Fieldstone Meadow subdivision oft Dascomb Road. Ms. Hauer and Hallie were walking Friday, Feb.

Ms. Hauer said her neighborhood is a wooded area where lots of people walk, including people who drive there, park and go for walks, so she’s not sure if this couple is from the area.

Nadworny is running to change school board mix(Conlmued Itom page I)

Shawsheen School student and a Bancroft student. “What has bothered me the most is we have not had an open communication policy and we make up our mind and then listen.”

He talked about “the politics of ignoring people’s input, ignoring opportunities. People have ideas of doing things different or better. As a School Committee, we need to involve people in making decisions."

Answering a question about how a coin munity can measure the quality of its public schools, Mr. McCarron said, “Hight now, the majority of the School Committee is opposed to hearing (about) new models, new ideas."

"People are disenfranchised," said Mr. Nadworny. “People need to be respected for their views. Listening is a two way process. We’ve (the School Committee) got to set the example; we have to set standards on how we will treat people."

Margot Bixby, who said she is a former teacher who has two grandchildren in the Andover schools, asked, "Is there any way you can get the selectmen, the School Com mittee and the Finance Committee to work in this vision for the town together, like some incredible retreat for three days and don’t let them out of the room" (until they’ve arrived at a vision).

Ms. Bixby asked Mr. Nadworny, "What do you want for this town?” She said only 27 percent of the families in Andover have children in the public schools. (Dick Neal, superintendent of schools, said Monday that 70-75 percent of Andover families don't have children in the public schools.) And that is why, Ms. Bixby said, that the selectmen must be involved in school matters.

“People are concerned about taxes, |x*ople on fixed incomes," said Mr. Nadworny. "1 think the selectmen are interested in school issues."

"1 have heard Schwl Committee meetings don’t involve a lot of listening,” said Zab Warren, whose two children spent eight years each in Andover's public schools. He asked Mr. Nadworny what areas of the

schools he would like to see changed.

In answering Mr. Warren, Mr. Nadworny complained that it took too long for the schools to hire a person to supervise technology. And he said stipends for teachers at each school to oversee technology are not in next

He said we could look at what our graduates do, study standardized test scores and look at per-pupil expenditures.

“Anything is possible, depending on what we want to measure," answered Mr. Nadworny.

assessment.”Skip Eccles asked Mr. Nad

worny if music and the other arts are frills in public schools.

"There has to be a place for music and art in education,” answered Mr. Nadworny. who said his daughter is playing several instruments. “Music is not a frill. Fine arts and an under standing and fondness for it is essential."

Asked which budget he favors, the town manager’s 6.2

percent raise over last year’s budget, or the superintendent's 10.6 percent raise, a difference of about $1.2 million. Mr. Nadworny said. “It’s frustrating to make that choice."

He said he’d like to see a budget that meets the needs of the schools and the rest of the town He said he’d like “to see what the two budgets mean.”

"I don’t know if there’s a more efficient way to spend that money,” he said.

Karen English asked Mr. Nadworny a question about the mix of the School Committee. She wanted to know if there is “the perception that this community feels then1 is this little core group" on the School Committee. She asked, “Is this election about other things?”

"Yes, your perception is correct,” said Mr. Nadworny.

The Rev. James Diamond, rector of the church and moderator of the discussion, asked, "How far are you willing to go to provide safety in the schools?" after last week’s mugging and robbery at the High School.

"I’d have to listen to the principal and superintendent for their recommendations,” said Mr. Nadworny, who praised Principal Ellen Parker and said she has been "proactive” in disciplining students.

Andover High School student mugged, robbedBy Neil Fater

Police say five men robbed a 15-year-old boy last Tuesday in a stairway at Andover High School even though some of the accused robbers knew Andover police were in the school parking lot around the time of their crime.

Just before the robbery, one officer even talked with Gregory Cloutier, the 18-year-old who allegedly drove the others from the scene of the alleged assault and robbery.

“When we spoke with

around a large sum of money because a student saw the boy show the wad of money to a friend, according to a police report. Police say the boy had taken the money from his home.

According to police, the men waited until the boy came out of detention to take the money from him.

Officer Collins said 17-year old Andover High student Jeremy J. Steeves, of 5 Clinton Court, struck the boy “at least four times.”

Mr. Steeves was arrested and

Mr. Cloutier, 18, were outside at the time. Police say after the robbery, the five split the money. Mr. Whitcomb, of 184 North Main, faced robbery and receiving stolen property

report mailed to Andover residents is to include word of their approval.

But not all of the selectmen's questions Monday were financial. Barry Finegold said he’s concerned because building officials are saying the project won’t be done until February 1997 and the contractor is saying it will take until April.

"How are you going to be able to do that? This isn’t short term. This is

another full year of construction’’ students have to live with, said Mr. Fine- gold. “What are the costs to these High School students who are going to be disrupted every day?’’

If paying for overtime will finish the project sooner, Mr. Finegold said he’s even willing to give up the $300.000 extra that’s slated to reconstruct the outdoor track. Buzz Stapczynski, town manager, said the sequencing of the project makes paying for overtime a poor use of resources.

As the Townsman reported last week, the $;H)0,000 track is just part of the $2,551,732 more building officials

will seek at Town Meeting to complete the High School. This figure includes:

• Nearly $1,052,(XX) in contingency, money used for unexpected problems;

• Around $560,000 for "soft costs," including items such as $103,000 for temporary heat and $64,527 more for project management; and

• Close to $040,000 to put things back into the project and to add two new items.

The two new items building officials want to add include $63,000 for motorized shades to eliminate sunlight glare in the new gymnasium and $35,000 for replacing some gym lockers.

BreakdownSelectman Jim Barenboim said

townspeople have told him that while people might support adding back items that were slashed from the job, they’re not interested in adding new items into the project.

Mr. Barenboim said it looks as if the extra $2.55 million will buy more windows than were originally slated to be replaced before the cuts, "and that’s not what we originally voted on” at 1994 April Town Meeting.

Selectmen said they want more information on the items to be added back to see if more is being added back than the town approved in 1994. They and town activist Chris Holmes, of Whispering Pines Drive, also questioned some of the so-called sort costs.

willing to reimburse Andover 60 percent for the additional money officials say they need to complete construction atAndover High School.

"It’stainly good news to know that this is the case,” said Dicksuper in ten dent, who had the written confirmation in hand Tuesday.

Mr. Neal was one of several Andover officials who met with Jim Anderson of the state Department of Education Wednesday, Feb. 26. Officials presented Mr. Anderson with documentation why they need about $2.55 million more to finish Andover High, and with a list of how the extra money will be used.

The additional money must meet the same requirements as the original $26.5 million to garner state reimbursement.

But the extra cash must first be approved by Andover residents at April Towrn Meeting.

When the project is completed, a state auditor will make sure the final project fulfills the educational specifications for the project. If it does, the state will reimburse Andover for 60 percent of the principal and interest of the construction costs.

Andover used a contingency of 12 percent for the first 813 million in con struct ion, but that work dealt mostly with new construction. Construction officials say new construction typically involves fewer unexpected problems.

15-year-old assaulted after hours at AHS(Continued bom page 5|

All five plead not guilty to their charges, according to court officers.

Although the robbery happened on 'rues- day, Feb. 27. police did not hear about the event until the mother of the 15-year-old called them two days later.

According to police reports, the mother said she had to leave work that day to pick up her son who was vomiting and had a bad headache. The boy told the police he was beaten in the High School stairwell for the money he had.

His mother said she would take her son to a doctor and later told police he was diagnosed with a concussion.

Andover High School is considering to what degree it should punish the two students.

"The two boys that were students here have been suspended and I will be meeting with their parents on Friday of this week. We will explore further disciplinary action at that tune,” said Ellen Parker, principal.

Because the assault and robbery occurred

in a High School stairwell, some people are wondering if Andover High needs to increase its security.

"It’s a concern, of course, when that happens,” said Dick Neal, superintendent.

But Mr. Neal noted this happened after 3 p.m. when most teachers and

students were gone from the building. He called the act “much less likely to have occurred” during regular school hours because the school is supervised then.

“We do have people on duty during the day. It’s a very large school," said Ms. Parker. “It did happen after school, so (at that time) we don’t

have people watching the door.”

Officer Collins said Andover may ask the courts to bar the three non students from school grounds.

Officer Collins said Mr. Whitcomb was involved in a house break in an unrelated incident where he assaulted an elderly woman.

der (7.1 percent of Andover vote) and Richard Lugar (2.4 percent) to leave Ute campaign soon.

While Sen. Dole may have cleared traffic from the cam paign trail with Tuesday’s victory, not all Andover Republicans seem thrilled with the front-runner.

“I was happy with the results. I think it's probably the best option we have so far,” said Brian Major, a member of the Republican Town Committee.“I’d like to see someone a little more dynamic. I'd also like to see someone who has some new, fresh ideas.”

Mr. Major said he had hoped Colin Powell would run and is still hoping for a dynamic vice- presidential candidate.

Rep. Coon is not yet ready to concede the nomination to Sen. Dole. He said he expects his candidate to run straight through the Republican convention, although he did describe today’s New York primary as “an important bellwether for Steve Forbes."

“As the contestants are winnowed out of the race - now we’ll have three left - that can have an undetermined impact on the race,” he said. “The potential is there for a few more zig zags.”

There were no surprises in the Democratic race as 84.7 percent of the Andover ballots were

marked for Bill Clinton. Lyndon LaRouche Jr. received 17 votes for 2.9 percent of the vote.

The only other contested race on either the Democratic or Republican ballot was for the Republican state committee man representing the Second Essex and Middlesex district, a battle between Wayne E. Hinckley of

Tewksbury and Andover resident John G. Wragg of Standish Circle.

M r . W r a g g ’ s Andover address car ried him t0

a slim 36-vote victory in the district. He won 81.9 percent of the Andover votes.

In uncontested contests, Republican voters approved Christine Holmes, of Whispering Pines Drive, for state committee woman and the 35 Andover republicans on the ballot for the Republican town committee. Gary Coon received the most votes for the town committee.

Democrats approved David M. O’Brien, of Tewksbury, as theit state committee man and Andover resident Mary Jane Powell, of Cheever Circle, as their state committee woman. The 35 Democrats on the ballot for the Democratic town committee all will become committee members. Susan Tucker received the most votes.

The unofficial tallies show 2,650 Republicans and 595 Democrats ignored the weather to cast their ballots.

By Neil FaterIf Candace Bachner puts her paper in a

different place from one day to the next, she’ll hear about it from her room of 5-year- olds. Consistency is something kindergarten kids need at that age, says Ms. Bachner, a Sanborn Elementary School teacher.

But some parents of soon-to-be school goers aren’t sure a proposed change to the kindergarten program will have this consistency. Other parents think the school system just hasn’t studied the issue enough.

These are two reasons why the School Committee unanimously voted Tuesday to

continue looking at different kindergarten options during the next year.

The committee had asked the administra tion to consider switching to a two full day. one half day program to save about $45,000 in mid-day busing fees.

Currently, kindergarten students go to school for a hall' day, either in the morning or in the afternoon.

Under this new program each child would go two full days during the week, perhaps Monday and Tuesday, and one half day.

Kindergarten(Continued from poge 10)

Marinel McGrath, assistant superintendent of schools, presented the committee Tuesday with the results of a survey of kindergarten parents and the Andover community. It showed 200 parents preferred the current five half-days model, while 196 preferred a change to the two full, one half-day model.

But several of the parents at the meeting parents who will soon have children in kindergarten said they were upset they were not included in the survey. Others were upset a possible decision could be driven by financial rather than educational criteria.

Some parents also offered to help the committee gain more information about different options and about parents opinions.

“I have gotten so upset by what I have seen that it made me stand up and do something,” said Marcy Tannenbaum-Eox, of Chandler Road, who created a survey on her own and gave it to administrators. "1 feel so badly about how this has been done.”

Ellen Davidson, of Chestnut Street, supported the switch because it would provide her with a full day with her son and “I treasure those days.” But she

said a decision had to be made soon so she and other parents would have time to plan day care for their other children.

Others were against the two full day. one halfday plan because they say students will be away from school for too long, particularly when theie are sick or snow days.

“1 would rather say let’s slow down and take this off the table for this budget cycle," said David Birnbach, committee member. Let's "give people a chance to discuss it, to digest it.”

“Kindergarten is the beginning of school. It should be the best we can give them,” said Susan Dalton, committee member.

One option that Andover may look at in the next year is a "three and a half day program" that kindergarten teachers such as Ms. Bachner support. This would allow each student to have one full day of school when more involved activities could be planned.

“The extra, one full day would be an experiment for all of us. We can see some positive things," said Ms. Bachner. She called the two full day. one halfday proposal “really unacceptable to us.”

12 THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 7, 19V6

Mo Krinsky and his junk were famous in AndoverEditor's note: Morris Krinsky, owner of the H. Krinsky & Sons Salvage Co., better known as the junk yard on Park Street, died Wednesday, Feb. 28. He was 79 His obituary is on page 28. The following is part of a feature story that reporter Don Staruk wrote for the Aug. 6, 1992, Townsman. The headline was "Andover’s junk yard, like it or not. ”

Seventy five year old Morris Krinsky is as much of a curiosity to newcomers in town as is the idea of a junk yard in the center of an affluent community like Andover.

He lives at 33 Florence St., but sits most days in a chair amongst his merchandise at the adjacent H. Krinsky and Son junk yard, at 48 Park St., just a block or so off Main Street right downtown.

Storm windows and screens are stacked neatly against the house. Heaps of rusted iron framing, iron pipes, steam radiators, hub caps, wheels, aluminum pipes, bathtubs, toilets and sinks an' all stacked in separate piles.

In one of three barns on the

property, half a dozen hack saws hang by a workbench, which is covered with metal shears, chisels and other implements of destruction used in the scrap business. Assorted chains, ropes, wires and pieces of strapping hang from a dtxir. Iron plumbing joints fill shelves, small pieces of tubing stand in a corner by a pile of stove grates and another of toilet floats. Aluminum sheets and tubing lay in another corner. Back outside, a three foot stack of window sash weights sits against a wall.

Hit by a stroke 11 years ago, Mr. Krinsky doesn’t remember exactly when his father, Hyman, opened the junk yard.

His father and mother, Rebecca, Russian immigrants, moved to Boston a few years before the czar was overthrown in Russia, according to an interview with the elder Krinsky 20 years ago. They moved here in 1916. He worked in Lawrence and she had a son. “1 was born here," the younger Mr. Krinsky says, his thick, silver hair sneaking out from the sides of his baseball

cap. "We lived on Jenkins Road with no electricity, no water.”

According to old newspaper articles, his father opened the junk yard in 1928. One of the barns at the junk yard still has horse stalls that go back to before the younger Mr. Krinsky’s time, he says.

The younger Mr. Krinsky graduated from Punchard High School in 1934.

He and his father didn't have the best relationship, he says. It was what he calls a "Dear Abby” relationship, "some good, some bad.”

“We never communicated. He never took me to a ball game," Mr. Krinsky says. “He never hit me or anything. But it was work, work, work.”

His mother died Halloween night, 1927. "Probably my life would have been altogether different if she had lived,” he says.

The younger Mr. Krinsky worked at Tyer Rubber on Railroad Avenue until 1935, when he quit and moved to Colorado to stay with his uncle. That lasted three months and he

THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 7, 1096 13*

Mo Krinsky(Continued (torn page 1 2)

came back home and worked for his father in the junk yard. Sometimes he would do a little traveling and come back. Once he went to Cuba, before Castro was in charge, and liked it "mucho! mucho!”

“He used to have a ball for himself.” says Georgina Lane, owner of the Andover Grill, next door to the junk yard. "I’ve known him all my life.”

Friends say that even right up until his father died, in 1973, Morris would only go out idler his father went to bed at night. Since his father’s death, the younger Mr. Krinsky has kept the junk business going.

There was a time, during the 1960s and 1970s. that Mr. Krinsky came to see the junk as art, or as statements on society, but he now leaves that idealism to the Phillips Academy students who use him and the junk as subjects for art and photography assignments.

Mr. Krinsky says he looks just like his father. “We had the same build, barrel-chested, short,” he says.

Mr. Krinsky was an amateur wrestler at the YMCA in Lawrence and a great swimmer and diver. He used to go up to "the cove." a swimming hole in Methuen, and dive from a 40-foot

tower into the water.He volunteered for the Army one

year before Pearl Harbor, but was turned down because he had curvature of the spine, a condition that keeps him hunched over today.

His only regret, he says, is that he

never married.He hasn’t had a drink or smoked

since the stroke 11 years ago left him paralyzed on the left side, and he pretty much stays at home. His speech is slurred and he has no use of his left arm. He needs a home health aide and gets Meals on Wheels seven days a week.

He was raised an orthodox Jew but no longer attends temple. He appreciates help from friends, like Rabbi Osh er Bronstein, of 4 Oriole Drive, who dropped off chicken soup for him one day last week. And Pat Juliano, his upstairs neighbor, who gets his breakfast, helps him keep his house neat and clean, does his laundry and takes him to the doctor when he gets sick.

Mr. Krinsky was left handed but has learned to write with his good hand.

"I’d be out here swinging a sledge hammer if it wasn’t for the stroke,” he says. “If it wasn’t for this stroke, I’d be in Club Med."

Mr. Krinsky sits in the yard from 10- noon and 2-4 p.m. most every day, and lets business come as it may. He listens to Spanish music on the radio.

He had one year of Spanish in High School 56 years ago, but learned the language again a few years ago when Hispanics were buying three-deckers in Lawrence and rebuilding them. They would come to him frequently for used sinks, toilets and bathtubs. Busi

ness was good, so he took the time to learn some of the language.

"Now they stopped coming with all the fires," Mr. Krinsky says.

And the rest of the business has also nearly come to a halt.

“Now nothing,” Mr. Krinsky says. “It’s a throw-away society. It’s a different generation.”

His most recent sale was four meat hooks bought by a North Reading con tractor in the last couple of weeks.

“I told him they were back scratch- el's,” Mr. Krinsky jokes.

Mr. Krinsky sends an occasional load of scrap steel to scrap recyclers, but can’t drive himself anymore.

Mr. Krinsky says he won’t ever sell the junk yard, but it’s not like he never thought about it.

“People tell me, why don’t I go to a rest home. Or why don’t I go to Florida and have a muchacha hike care of me... not a bad idea,” he says.

He’s had many offers to buy his land, but won’t sell. His father took care of his needs in a trust that pays the bills. Mr. Krinsky wouldn’t say if the trust also forbade the sale of the property, but he did say the business was set up so it can’t be sold and that the junk yard would come to an end with his eventual passing.

“I can’t sell my business. I’m the last of the Mohicans,” he said.

What Would Students Do To Change the World?During a

Sanborn Sch(K)l conference about civic responsibility, Bill Fahey, Andover’s youth services coordinator, was among those talking to the kids. Last Thursday he led several workshops, encou raging cooperation and other ways to improve the world.

Asked what she would do to change the world, fifth-giader Ari Spool said, “I will be nice to my brother.”

A group of kids receives information to relay to a second group across the room. A group of parents will try to disrupt the process. The Sanborn students, from left, are Paul Burke, Sean O’Rourke, Dan Jaffe, Becca Fink and (in back) Samantha Hughes.

...And the parents try their best to stop them. From left are parents Myrna Zetlan and Fran Fink, and fifth-graders Jake Christopher, David Kaplan and Jeremy Cohen.

Students, parents in workshops learn about social responsibilityBy Neil Fater

Ten-year old Andrew Brickley was wearing blue in school last week, so when he asked for paper to build a tower with his group he was given only half a sheet. Unreasonable? Yes.

But that was the point.When students realized Andrew and

other students with blue name tags were being treated differently than students wearing green or orange name tags, they discovered an important lesson.

In the words of Jessica Paolino, 10. they learned “Don't be prejudiced!”

Andrew and Jessica were two of Sanborn School's 79 fifth-graders participating in programs such as the tow

er-building game, during a conference teaching civic responsibility. Thursday, Feb. 29.

Students and a large contingent of parents went through a series of work shops that day regarding topics such as solving problems, staying off drugs and treating people equally.

Among those' talking to the Sanborn kids were Andover High School students in Project Teamwork, a diversity education program, and in Growing Up Taking a Stand (GUTS), an antidrug group.

“The High School kids, to me they did a fabulous job,” said Amy Brady, a fifth-grade teacher. "I think they really

Model recycling program launched at Bancroft

Photos by Lisa Adelsberger

MassRecycle, the state recycling coalition, kicked oil a comprehensive recycling program last Friday at Bancroft School, to teach students the importance of recycling. Barbara Herson with her “Earthtunes” conducted a week-long series of workshops at the school. Joining in the fun last Friday are (from right) Pat Scanlon, president of MassRecycle and director of recycling at Wheelabrator Technologies Inc., who initiated the program; state Sen. John O’Brien, D-Andover; and Robin lngenthron. director of recycling at the Department of Environmental Protection.

<< Barbara Herson made music with 120 fifth-grad ers using instruments recycled entirely from trash, such as the percussive peanut-butter container she is holding, which is filled with dried beans. She also used poetry, puppetry and drama to get across the important messages about recycling. Organizers said their goal was to take an elementary school that has virtually no recycling program and create a model that other Massachusetts schools can duplicate.

Bancroft fourth-graders (from left) Alex Thorn, Matt Hill, Nick Zuill and Brandon Arsenault said they plan to learn as much as they can about recycling.

School enjoyed a special celebration of the 100th day of school. Principal Eileen Woods startl'd the day’s activities by awarding each first grader a badge reading, "1 am 100 days smarter!” Every’ first- grader contributed a cut-out tracing of his or her hand to a 100-hand collage. Students in Marcia Young’s class brain

stormed a list of 100 kind words, while students in Winnie Schwartz’s class worked on reading from a list as many words as they could in 100 seconds. Faith Goldstein’s students used magazines to create a collage of 100 faces. Children in Rosemary Pinkston’s class counted to 100 by two’s. All first-graders estimated how far a path of 100 hearts would go, made a trail mix to which each child contributed 1(40 pieces of a healthy snack food, and created projects using 100 of any object they chose.

Above right, students in Rosemary Pinksten’s class display their certificates of participation in the 100th day of school activities.

An end-of the-dav visit to the "100 Museum” allowed children to view all the work done in each classroom. The day culminated with the presentation of certificates of participation to each student. It was a memorable day for South’s first-graders and their teachers, Ms. Woods said.

most people didn’t have the privilege of schooling. Reading and writing were skills not allowed to many. The stories told from generation to generation served to preserve a people’s history and keep intact their sense of self.

Sheila Harrington’s sixth grade science class at West Middle School has been studying bacteria and the role it plays in our lives. As a follow up to the unit, three of the students, Cristin Fitzgerald. Christina Kat- sikis and Jessica Thorpe, took the initiative to contact the Andover Board of Health. Staffers told the students what questions they ask and what they look for when they inspect the local shops and restaurants. The girls then contacted several local shops and made appointments to interview them. Armed with Crist in’s video camera, the girls went to Per- fecto’s, Friendly’s, Chocolate By Design, and Hometown Seafoods.

Each business granted the girls some interview time and shared how they implement the laws for cleanliness in their businesses. The girls then brought the videotape to school and shared it with their class. This project expanded on what was discussed in the classroom, making stu dents more aware of the rules and regulations to which local restaurants and shops must adhere.

Chiropractic

by Mark F. DeLorenzo. D.C.

PREVENTIVE MEASURESBy taking a preventive approach toward disease chiropractic seeks j

! to avoid a reliance upon prescription to restore the body to good health i i In fact chiropractic foregoes the use of drugs and surgery in the belief* 1

that these approaches may be avoided altogether by maintaining the J

body at its optimal function point This is accomplished by correcting | abnormal structural relationships and nutritional errors The focus of this !

conservative approach to hea'th maintenance is the spmai column and I

adtacent tissues because of their relationship to the nervous system By : removing any impediments that stand n the way of the nervous1

system s proper functioning the chiropractor sees to it that this control mechanism can exert proper influence over the entire body to assure j

j health The stronger the body and its inherent recuperative abilities the

I less likely ,t is to be overcome by the agents of diseaseAt DeLORENZO CHIROPRACTIC GROUP we believe n

preventive health care From chronic pam that has tasted for years to

acute pan caused by an accident or fall you'# find a variety of effective

treatment options available for you We re located at 15 Central Street

where we believe that our patients deserve the best ot health Stan I feeling better - call us at 475-5042 to schedule an appointment

P S Chiropractors will not hesitate to refer patients to medical j doctors if they deem it appropriate__________________________________

Philip K. Allen was active in many local groups(Continued horn page I)

thinks of Phil Allen."Mr. Allen was bom in Walpole.He became a student at Phillips

Academy in 1925. After graduating from Yale, he returned to Phillips as a teacher in 1936.

Josh Miner, a friend at Phillips Academy, said,"One of his greatest hobbies was Mr. Dooley. He had a wonderful collection of Dooley and would recite miles of Dooley with an Irish dialect."

According to Mr. Miner. Mr. Allen was also one of the first at Phillips Academy to get behind the new out- dtxirs program. “Everyone thought it was nutty, but Phil encouraged young people with new ideas.”

Mr. Allen enlisted in the Army in 1940 during World War II. When he was discharged in 1945, he was a lieutenant colonel in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).

Mr. Allen was a member of the Massachusetts Senate for the 4th Essex District from 1946 to 1948. Two years later he was legislative assistant to the minority leader in the state House of Representatives.

Mr. Allen became executive secretary for the Republican State Committee from 1951 to 1953.

He was called to Washington in 1953 to assume the duties of chief clerk to the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee. He was named deputy assistant secretary of defense in 1955.

He ran for Andover selectman in 1958 and served until 1969. He was appointment secretary’ for Gov. John Volpe for two years and chairman of the Massachusetts Republican state committee.

William J. Dalton, commissioner of the state Labor Relations Board, said, "As a person. Phil had all the

time in the world for you. He was a mentor to many, including myself. When I thought about running for public office he was the first person I went to. When 1 wits in public office

and I had a particular problem or needed advice, he was the person I called. He was a good friend and an adviser to many of us, and cannot be replaced.”

In later years, Mr. Allen was a director of the I) AS A Corp.. Bay Bank Merrimack Valley, Carlton Corp, and Stratton Mountain Corp.

He was a trustee emeritus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Community Music Center of Boston and Hurricane Island Outward Bound School. He was also an assistant general manager of WGBH TV.

Hart Leavitt, a close family friend and teacher at Phillips Academy, remembers Mr.Allen's love of music. "Phil and 1 had a great love for jazz and classical music. We would sit and listen to it, play records and go listen to jazz bands and the symphony.”

Mr. Leavitt said that his jazz quartet would be playing at Mr. Allen’s funeral because his love for it was so great.

Mr. Allen was president of the board of trustees of Abbot Academy

when the girls’ school merged with Phillips Academy in 1973.

Mr. Leavitt remebers the role Mr. Allen played in the merger of the two schools. “It was Phil who organized the discussions between both schools, since he was a trustee. He was very strongly in favor of the change.”

Until the 1980s, he was often seen driving around Andover in his well- kept blue convertible with the single letter “Y” on the license plate.

Mr. Levitt says, “We both loved convertibles. He, Bart Hayes of the Art Gallery and I were the only people left that had convertibles.”

In 1992, when their health was failing, the Allens donated their historic 1830s house to Phillips Academy. They had lived there for 56 years.

Antoinette Thiras of Upland Road said, “He was a very good friend of our family. We worked with him in many capacities. I just wish there were more people like Phil Allen.”

Members of his family include his wife of 63 years, the former Elizabeth Warner of Pine Orchard. Conn.; son, Philip K. Allen Jr. of West Simsbury, Conn; daughters, Nancy Allen Vaughn of Riverside, Conn., Wendy Allen Wheeler of Northford, Conn., and Martha Allen Ross of West Fal mouth; 13 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

Arrangements were by Allen funeral Home in Ijawrence.

Friends and relatives are invited to a memorial service this Saturday, March 9, at 2 p.m. at Cochran Chapel, Phillips Academy.

THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 7, 1996 3 1Letters2'Z-day kindergarten

is an educationally

unsound ideaEditor, Townsman:

It is disheartening to read articles regarding proposed cuts in the school budget. Valuable programs such as the music program and the home economics program may be cut. among others. It is disheartening to receive a survey that proposes a 2S-dav kindergarten schedule. How absurd to even contemplate such an educationally unsound idea. Reading an article in the Townsman comparing expenditures per pupil in Andover versus other com parable towns was the most disheart ening of all.

We currently have a kindergartner at South School, and our daughter will be attending kindergarten next year. We sold our house in Andover last summer and ultimately decided to pur chase another here largely because we believed in the school system. We’re beginning to think we made a mistake. It would appear that the town is not supporting its schools as it should be. Andover has been known for its quality of education. The proposed cuts lead us to believe that education is not a priority in the town anymore, and that is tragic.

As parents, our first priority is the quality of education for the children of Andover. As homeowners, we believe that the dismantling of the educational program in the town will result in diminished property values.

We urge you, as professional educa tors ourselves, to reconsider any pro post'd cuts. It is important not only to maintain current programs, but to con tinue to improve the school system, keeping pace with other top notch edu cational systems.

Teen asks for help in

making the town more

open to teen-agersEditor, Townsman:

I have an extreme concern that I would like to be shared with the public. I am 15 years old and am a fresh man in Andover High. For quite some time now. I’ve had to deal with being harassed by so many adults in this community no matter what I'm doing. My friends can all easily relate, too.

The problem is Andover community does not care about their teens in the slightest bit. Excluding the concern of education. They care about their adults, about their children, and their senior citizens. But not us. I’m beginning, no wait, actually, I am very annoyed at everybody who takes part in running this town.

I'm sick of walking down the street and having police go by in their cars

and glare at me to see if I'm doing anything wrong. I’m sick of not having anything much to do but sit around But when 1 do that. I get in trouble for loitering.

A teen center was being thought about for a while, but of course it was denied. So, there’s nothing to do. 1 finally found pleasure and fun in rollerblading and it became a big hobby of mine. However, everywhere I rollerblade, 1 get harassed about it. Now. I’m not a bad kid, I get A’s and B's in school and 1 don’t have any kind of police record, plus I’m straight edge. But that doesn't matter, it’s enough that I’m a teen.

The thing that triggered all this to me was today when I was having harmless fun blading on the new memorial built. Because of the staircases and such When store owners nearby called the police accusing me and my friends of "defacing the pro|X‘r- ty.” And beyond that, he told us we had to leave and if we ever rollerbladed or skateboarded there again, those things would be confiscated because our blades are harmful to the area (this coming from a man who just drove his Bronco up onto the sidewalk).

All I want and all most kids in my grade want is to enjoy their childhood, and Andover makes it a real challenge.1 want to do something about this, but I don’t know what. So. this letter is the first step and if anybody knows how they could help, all the teens of Andover and I would appreciate it greatly.

In our schools, we're

getting less and lessEditor, Townsman:

Some of the current members of the School Committee two have children in the Andover public schools, two have children who have completed their veal's in our schools and one has no children (yet) seem to believe that today’s and tomorrow’s children neither need nor deserve as much education as their parents, they and their children received. They or at least a majority of them - also seem to have forgotten that they serve uniquely on a board elected by the people of Andover to insure that Andover’s public schools have the guidance and resources to provide our children with a full and excellent education.

Other elected boards and hired managers have the responsibility to see to the operation and management of town affairs and, under current state law, to assuring that the town raises the required revenues for all town services and programs.

And it seems that it is the regular school day instruction program that is receiving the least support from the School Committee:

• In the “information age,” Andover’s primary schools no longer

have trained librarians Bancroft school was built around a media center; South and Sanborn schools have newly expanded and updated media centers.

• As the near avalanche of new data shows the need for and value of diverse and varied educational programs, Andover has eliminated industrial and manual arts and home economics from the High School and now proposes doing the same at the middle schools.

• Superintendent Neal, at a budget hearing last week, spoke of hoping to introduce foreign language study in the primary grades Andover had foreign language study in the primary grades in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.

• And now in as the slash and burn continues, our School Committee would save a projected $94,500 by reducing to one the number of instrumental music teachers for school day programs. There are over 600 children (more than 10 percent of the school population) currently receiving instru mental instruction from three very stretched teachers. (We used to have

Other letters, pages 34, 35

five and offered beginning instruction in both fourth and fifth grades.) That instruction is to be eliminated and 17 ensemble groups many of which meet after sclxxil are to be managed, along with the High School academic band program, by a single instructor. (See the week of Feb. 13 Newsweek for a discussion of the relationship between playing a musical instrument and academic performance with especial attention to the age at which instruction begins.)

And as the school day suffers annual cuts at an increasing rate, the afterschool athletic program still thrives. There are three times more sports offered than when I went to school, and most field teams (many of which are selective - poor performers cannot par ticipate) at three levels varsity, junior varsity and freshman. These activities (when I last saw statistics) serve about twice as many students (at nearly $500,000) as the instrumental music program and are not part of the sch(X)l day itself; here the current budget proposals suggest no sacrifice.

I am not suggesting that after-sch(M)l programs should be cut or eliminated. But the first priority of the School Committee must be the schools, and within that the school day program must come first. We elected the School Committee to:

1) Tell us what is needed to provide our children with the education they need to succeed in today’s world, and;

2) To do their best to persuade us that to do any less is simply wrong.

Don't cut musicEditor, Townsman:

1 have heard that the instrumental

music program is on the list of cuts in the town budget. This is completely despicable. Nowadays, there is no time for after-school instrument lessons. Inschool instrument lessons are a chance for a child to expand the range of education he/she gets in school. It gives children a chance to find out their natural talents and a chance to learn to like music.

I am a fifth grade student at Bancroft Elementary School and I play the trumpet. 1 have gone on to the All Star Band and the All Town Band and 1 love it. The cutting of the music program would lx* a great loss to me, and other students as well. Also, before my instrument lessons, 1 had no idea what the notes meant and how dots and lines could make beautiful music. Now, 1 can play almost anything you give me.1 think without instrument lessons the schools are just missing something. Please consider these words and the words of other people supporting my cause. Thank you very much for your time.

Matthew L. Bagnall 7 Kathleen Drive

Music grows childrenEditor, Townsman:

It has come to my attention that the instrumental music program is in jeop ardy. I understand that it is on a list of cuts in the school budget. I am the parent of a daughter who was a recipient of one of the New England Scholastic Band Scholarships. I believe it was her interest and her friends in music, the Marching Band competitions that we attended, the orchestra, and Jazz Band that she was involved in during her high school years that influenced her two brothers (now juniors at AHS) to begin studying instruments when they entered the fourth grade. They, too, are both involved with the Marching Band and Concert Band and one enjoys the competition of Jazz Band.

I do not agree that the instrumental music is one of the areas to eliminate to make the recommended budget.

I have seen first hand how these kids in music become lifelong friends. There is something in music that is different than other subjects or sports. Maybe it is the many years of practice starting in elementary school, maybe it is the many hours of being together as is the case in the Marching Band. The days at band camp, the many, many hours of practice in school, the Thursday night practices on October nights on the cold athletic fields. The halftime football entertainment, the all-day Saturday practices.

All this hard work helps them grow. It allows them the opportunity to learn self-discipline, teamwork, self-esteem, and creativity.

Music is basic, music is something that is learned at an early age, and kept for a lifetime.

Three boards discuss the schools budget(Continued liom page 1)

was repeat that they are not the ones who decide what programs, if any, get cut in the schools. 1’hey said that is up to the School Committee.

Still, they had opinions about possi ble cuts. “Please restore music and music teachers to the schools," Selectman Chairman Larry Larsen said.

Later in the meeting several audience members also spoke in favor of preserving the music programs.School budget

In presenting the Fiscal 1997 school budget, Superintendent Richard Neal said school officials told selectmen three months ago there was a problem with bringing the budget down to meet the 5.5 percent increase proposed by Town Manager Buzz Stapczynski.

The EY’97 schools budget, as presented by Mr. Neal, is $29,592,781. That represents a 10.62 increase.

The town manger’s budget proposal takes last year’s base schools budget of $25,134,452, adds the 5.5 percent maxi mum increase allowed all departments this year, $1,382,394, adds in costs shared with the town, for a total pro posed schools budget of $28,416,969, an increase of 6.2 percent.

'Phe unresolved difference between tin* two budgets is $1,175,812.Impacts on schools budget

Mr. Neal said the schools had an increase of 107 students in the system this year, including 19 in elementary grades. 57 in the middle schools and 31 at the High School. Those students will have to be accommodated in next year’s budget.

Other impacts on the EY’97 schools budget, according to Mr. Neal, include:

• A per-pupil cost increase:• Staff increase accordingly;• Salary increases related to a teach

er contract settlement;• The addrtl cost of utilities and cus

todial services because of the increase in space with the new additions;

• Higher transportation costs with a new- busing contract;

• An increase in Fixed costs;• Special needs education (SPED)

increases, for current unanticipated costs and for new anticipated placements. There is a $4(X).(XX) deficit this year in SPED costs that becomes an additional anticipated cost next year;

• Contract services increases;• Increased cost of paper goods.

What will the effect be in FY’97?According to Mr. Neal, the schools

budget as he has proposed it. would have:

• Student/teacher ratios maintained;• No reduction in course offerings;• 15.2 professional positions added,

including 3.6 at AHS; 3.3 in the middle schools; one in the elementary schools; 3.5 specialists, including for music; .8 for middle-school technology: and 3 special-education teachers;

• One new’ part-time person in charge of building and facility rentals;

• One new’ High School guidance counselor;

• Staff development expanded for

technology training;• A new coordinator position for

technology/math/science;• New textlwx)ks reasonably funded;• $50,000 for equipment upgrades

and replacements;• Two new custodial positions, to

deal with the new building space;• Transportation maintained at cur

rent levels;• No new programs.

Not in any budgetThe EY’97 budget, according to Mr.

Neal, does not include:• Coordinator for humanities;• Needl'd secretarial help;• An alternative High School pro

gram for those not "making it at AHS’’;• Teachers on assignment for cur

riculum implementation;• Increase in middle school intranni

rals;

• Elementary foreign language;• Grade 4 and 5 language arts pro

gram;• Elementary guidance counselor;• AHS career center staff;

Don Robb: The average residential tax bill for a singlefamily home in Andover has gone from $2,911 in FY’92

to $4,038 in FY’97,

$1,127, or percent.

• Additional nurse in the system;• Additional activities in the middle

schools;• Custodial supervisors;• Reasonable equipment purchases.An additional $1.5 million would

have to lx* added to his proposed bud get to include these items, said Mr. Neal.

FinConi’s numbers are differentDon Robb, Finance Committee

chairman, painted a broad financial picture to put a different light on the schools budget.

The average residential tax bill for a single-family home in Andover has gone from $2,911 in EY’92 to $•4.0118 in EY’97. up $1,127, or 39 percent, he said.

During . the same five years, general revenues went up 26.5 percent. According to the town manager’s proposed bud get, town spending went up the same amount. 26.5 percent, during that time, while schools spending jumped 32.6 percent.

The reason for the difference is that the joint expenses, costs shared by both sides, have not increased as much as expected lately and that allowed more money to go to the schools, Mr. Robb said. If the School Committee’s proposed budget were to go through for next year, the five-year increase will have been 38 percent during that same period.

School appropriationsIn EY’95. there w’ere three appropri

ations to the schools budget. At the 1994 Annual Town Meeting,$24,422,042 was approved for the schools. A Special Town Meeting in the fall of 1994 approved $6(X),460 more. The 1995 Annual Town Meeting approved another $115,000 for the schools, for a total EY’95 appropriation of $25,137,022.

Of that, $678,734 was not spent and was carried over to the EY’96 budget. Mr. Neal said this money had Ixh’u set aside for raises in the case of a contract settlement with teachers. Since the contract was not setth»d. it was carried over and was spent this year after the contract was settled, said Mr. Neal.

In addition to that $678,734, the schools received an appropriation of $26,752,600 at the 1995 April Town Meeting, and are requesting up to $500,000 (probably $4(X).(XX), according to Mr. Neal) more for special-education expenses for the current year at the upcoming Annual Town Meeting.

That will bring the total EY’96 appropriation for the schools to $27,931,334, according to Mr. Robb. School growth

In the five years from EY’92 through EY’97, the number of students in the school system has increased by 608. or 12 percent. For the same period, certified staff has increased by 61, or 19 per cent, and school employees have increased by 99. or 20 percent.

Just this year, with 106 (or 107) more students, an increase of 2 percent, cer tified staff has increased 4.5 percent.

SPED costs upSince 1993, special education costs

have increased nearly $1.7 million, or 62 percent.

Teachers salariesThis year. FY’96, 159 out of 386

Andover teachers. 41 percent, are earn ing at least $50.lXX) per year as a base salary. Next year, EY’97, 188 of those 386 teachers, 49 percent, are expected to be earning a base salary of $50,000 or more, according to Mr. Robb.

The budget for salaries of teachers with bachelor’s or master’s degrees has increased roughly 55 percent in the last five years. Mr. Robb said.

Mr. Neal said it takes 13 years for an Andover teacher to reach the maximum salary schedule. He also said that individual salaries have actually only increased an average of 17 percent in that time, and that the budget increase is due to teachers having been added to the staff.Funding not available

Mr. Robb said it is possible to look at any point in the program and save or cut items. It is not a music issue, but one of the future of the schools, he said.

Cynthia Katz spoke on the importance of

Christine McCarthy, a member of the schools ad hoc finance committee, said Andover spends approximately $10,000 per child in special education programs.

Tom Meyers, head of the teachers union, asked people to stand up if they moved to Andover because of the water treatment plant. No one did. He then asked people to stand if they moved here because of the quality of the roads (no one), foi the gazebo (no one). His point: People move to Andover for its good schools.

But one way or another, something has to be done, he said.

“If we were to tax to the (levy) limit this year, we could still not fund the increase requested in the school budget” without making cuts in other town services, he said.

But even if that were done this year, it would not leave any leeway for next year, he said.

“We will have used up the flexibility.” Mr. Robb said.

Mr. Robb said he hopes the various board members can do something to resolve the budget loggerhead before Town Meeting in April.

The Finance Committee was scheduled to go over the schools budget with the School Committee last night. Wednesday, March 6, after the Townsman went to press.


Residents: If the schools need money, we'll payBy Don Staruk

Approximately 160 residents attend ed the three -board meeting last Thursday night. Feb. 29. at Memorial Hall at Doherty Middle School, and the majori ty of those who spoke were concerned about possible cuts in the music pro gram in the FY’97 schools budget.

"Our tax rate. I think, is disproportionately high (compared to) the quality of education." said David Samuels, of 7 Ridge Hill Way. "When people con sider moving to a town, they don't really care how big the 350th birthday bashis, " they care about the schools.

"If you rob the school programs of all these facets of school life, we'll never get them back." Mr. Samuels said "Don’t cut the school program, elevateit. " and help more kids get into the top ranked colleges.

“The focus needs to change to the larger picture." said Wendy Gillespie, of 19 Woodhaven Drive and a member of the Andover Band A s s o c i a t ion.Growth continues in Andover and has disproportionately affected the school system, she said.

"If we need to raise taxes to fund our schools, let’s do it," Ms. Gillespie said. If we need a bigger piece of the pie. give it to us. she said.

Andover High senior Todd Buonopane, said of the budget short fall, “We don't care whose fault it is. Just get it fixed.”

Randy Kunhardt. of Morton Street, took issue with a statement made recently by town planning director Stephen Colyer, that “if the schools can’t handle any more kids, then they should tell me that.” [Feb. 1, Townsman, "Controlling growth in Andover,"

page 7. J"I think it’s up to the planner to go

out. be proactive and find out what’s going on.” Mr. Kunhardt said. He also said he was concerned with proposals to eliminate instructional assistants

Wendy Gillespie said higher taxes for schools would be fine.

Randy Kunhardt said it’s up to the planning department to be proactive.

Professional musician Measue Liotta talked about the importance of her early music experiences.

and let class sizes grow.Four West Middle students, Suzie

Moffitt (7th grade), Reed Donoghue (7th), Phillip Martin (6th) and Audra Alexander (8th), addressed the meet ing. Reed said the kids would come up with ideas for cuts if needed in order to save music programs.

Measue P. Liotta, of 1 Old South I^ane, a professional musician, said her own childhood music lessons led to art school, summer music school and a whole different life.

"It expanded a whole world beyond my wildest dream," she said.

When she walked down the hall to her first music class she had no idea what it would lead to, and she urged those present not even to consider disposing of the music programs.

Matthew Bagnall, a fifth grade student at Bancroft Elementary School,

David Samuels said he’d rather fund excellent schools than the town’s 350th birthday celebration.

plays the trumpet."Basically, I just love it. To cut it

would lx* a great loss to me," he said. If elementary and middle school music programs are cut. he said, there won’t be enough players left to have a band by the time those students get into High School.

“So if you cut it, no band,” Matthew said.

Zoe Hastings, an eighth grade student at Doherty Middle School, said she is a cello player.

“Basically, any cut would be bad cuts in general are,” she said.

“Music is a language that is known throughout the world. Nowhere is a half note not a half note," Zoe said. “And it is a great language, I can tell you that.”

Bob King, of 17 Williams St. and a teacher at AHS, listed a number of program cuts that already have occurred at the High School.

“We’ve been cutting for 20 years. We have cut the fat. We have cut the meat. We’re just talking which bone,” Mr. King said.

Bob McCumber, of 23 Arundel St., said the expenses seem to be growth driven. He said a recent report on municipalities in the state showed Andover, at $3.5 million, had the seventh highest amount of free cash in its budget. He urged town officials to use some of that money to fund the schools budget.

Buzz Stapczynski, town manager, and Don Robb, Finance Committee chairman, explained that free cash is what the town uses to maintain a positive cash flow in the operating budget. They also said it is one of the factors that rating services take into consider

ation when giving the town a bond rating. Andover’s AA bond rating allows it to borrow money for items such as the schools building project, at a lower rate, they said. Mr. Robb said the savings that brings to the town more than offsets any immediate gratificatjpn reducing the free cash would have for the budget.

(When presenting his budget to selectmen in January, Mr. Stapczynski said he’s been told that Andover’s financial situation is such that it may be eligible for an AAA rating next year.)

Christine McCarthy, of 5 Sleepy Hollow Line and a member of the schools ad hoc committee for finance, said the town is doing all the right things in not taxing to the levy limit, maintaining free cash and all the other things it is doing financially. If the music programs stay this year they will probably go next year along with other things, she said, and the year after that it will be something else unless there is major change in the way the budget is done. ,

“The process is faulty,” she said.

Tom Meyers, a social studies teacher at the High School and president of the teachers union, asked everyone in the room to stand up if they moved to Andover because of the reputation of the water treatment plant. No one stood. He asked the same thing for the roads, and again no one stood. But when he asked if it was for the reputation of the schools, most of those present stood.

“Schools are the most important thing in this community,” Mr. Meyers said.

34 THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 7, 1996Editorials LettersStraight talk

Dick Neal, school superintendent, and Don Robb, chairman of the Finance Committee, both made well-organized, well- thought-out budget presentations at last week’s meeting of the selectmen, Finance Committee and the School Committee.

Both men talked in lists. They had statistics and graphs that showed how the town’s and schools’ budgets have grown, along with Andover’s revenues, and how much of the budget the school and the town side have received over the years. It was all quite clear. Mr. Neal was able to explain the difference between a Wish List Budget that he'd like but knows he can’t have, the 10.6 percent increased budget he’s recommending, and the 6.2 percent town-manager recommended budget for the schools.

-We wish we could say the same thing about Monday’s presentation by Town Manager Buzz Stapczynski and Jim Marsh on the Andover High building project. Mr. Stapczynski and Mr. Marsh, chairman of the school building committee, gave some vague answers and couldn’t completely satisfy the selectmen and the audience.

Now we know wise parents aren’t sup posed to say, “lxx)k Harry, why can’t you be more like your brother Billy?’’ And as Selectman Barry Finegold pointed out during Monday’s meeting before pushing for better answers. Jim Marsh is a volun teer who has put in countless hours for the town as chairman of the schools building conftnittee.

However, at the end of Monday’s meet ing, Mr. Marsh and the town manager left more unanswered than answered questions about the project. Selectman James Barenboim pointed out to Mr. Marsh and Mr. Stapczynski that town activist Chris Holmes is confused about the costs and details of the AHS project, and if she is, everyone else is, too. He said he doesn’t understand the project’s costs and delays.

In addition, two facts surfaced that made some wonder if the school building committee is withholding some information. Selectman Jerry Silverman told Mr. Marsh he knows someone who will refurbish the outdoor track at AHS for half the anticipated $300,000. After some pushing from Mr. Silverman. Mr. Marsh said the track is "a premium track,” and that it is a colored track.

Windows at AHS were the other surprise Monday. Their original value was $115,0(M). They were deleted from the project to save money. To add them back in. in December, their cost was $180,000. Now their add-back tag is $31X1.000. Why. officials and audience asked. “My guess is we are adding back in more windows." said Mr. Marsh.

We need clear answers to make good decisions on the project. As Mr. Barenboim said. "People are asking, if they vote in the extra money do they get what we originally saw, or are we trying to sneak more in?”

McCarron was afraid

he'd split the vote

Editor, Townsman:As someone who deeply believes

that it is a categorical imperative in this upcoming election to change the overall direction of the current School Committee, I find it hard to avoid the reality of the following:

1. Sadly, voter turnout will be small. March 25 will be the second election occurring in a two-week time frame; that does not bode well for voter participation.

2. An incumbent versus two opponents seeking “similar.” yet not identical, agendas will prevail when the vote splits. This will produce an out come that perpetuates the status quo for at least another year.

1 believe leadership is required and self sacrifice is the price. I have repeatedly called for principles before personalities as a policy. Therefore, 1 will remove myself as a candidate at this time to best serve what I believe to be the aforementioned categorical imperative.

This is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions 1 have made in recent memory. 1 feel honored to have had the support of many fine people in this town and in some regard 1 think 1 am letting them down. I hope that this is not the case.1 have expressed and still feel that I am the most qualified candidate in the field, however, the best team does not always win. 1 know this to be true. What the best team does do is demonstrate character by picking itself up, dusting off its pride and competing just as hard in the next event.

1 will remain an active advocate for educational issues in our town. From school restructuring, professional development for teachers, gender equity in our educational programs and a myriad of other issues which 1 would hope td see our public school system incorporate and be seen as the leader in its field.

1 concluded my last letter to the editor with the following words, “the time is now." That has not changed. By postponement of my candidacy. 1 hope to ensure my desire to achieve the new direction I have spoken of the time is now, the choice of candidates is now crystal clear. Please vote on March 25.

Tim McCarron 20 Florence St.

Distressed by the

three board meetingEditor, Townsman:

Two concerns prompt me to write you for the first time in 20 years of residence in Andover.

First, I strongly oppose the decision to gut the music program. It offers so much to my daughter, a

fifth-grader at Bancroft, and to so many other children in town at such a small cost. Private lessons, which Katie already receives, could never replace the learning and public affir mation of achievement in music the current program provides.

Second, 1 came away from Thursday evening’s public hearing on the school budget profoundly distressed

Other letters: pages 31, 35

at lack of communication among the three groups responsible for the current budget. As a teacher of applied logic, I was appalled by the oversim plistic and misleading use of statistics for the apparent purpose of deflecting blame and avoiding responsibility for the end result.

The process of determining the school budget is clearly deeply flawed. Zero based budget projections from the School Committee to the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee should be the starting points of any rational school budget process. The political will to support excellent education in this town must be tested in this way. We must decide what is necessary and important educationally first. Then we should find the means to pay for as much of it as we can. Negotiation is needed. Responsible and accountable decision-making is necessary. The present process subverts these goals.

Don't change the

kindergarten daysEditor, Townsman,School Committee members:

1 would like the following to go on record:

1. The changes proposed for the coming kindergarten year, September 1996. have not systematically, thoroughly or qualitatively been researched. The very families that would be impacted have not had significant input as they have not been notified formally about the survey that went out. The survey was target ed instead towards existing kindergarten and first-grade families whose children won’t even be affected by this proposed radical change. Clearly the results of your survey are null and void considering the marginal data collection, only as an afterthought were affected families notified with only 24 horn's notice to drop everything and pick up a survey.

2. Moving the week to 2‘. days chops up the curriculum and days for these small learners. Going to school each day, as many or most of the Andover preschoolers have already experienced, would be the most consistent schedule. Educa

tional research as proven that children learn best through consistency and continuity of services. A 2S day kindergarten schedule defeats this very notion. Children presently go to school for five days with two days off. With the new proposed week, children will potentially have 2H days of school and 4* days otT consecutively.

3. Do it right or don’t do it all all. Yes, the trend is towards full day kindergarten...this is every day. Doing it for 2t days is no justification for making this radical change with out adequate space for a five-day, full-day week and without adequate targeted research on the real people being impacted. When people are no longer affected personally, they often become idealistic and not realistic. It’s so easy to vote to change the school week if you don’t have to be there picking up the mess it causes for those affected.

4. $45,(XX) in savings from busing is not a grxxl enough reason to change the school week. A good and sound business doesn't add on to the High School at the expense of taking away from the kindergarten program. A good business makes sure that everything is in order before allocating extra funds or asking for new positions to be filled.

5. Our littlest voiceless residents, our children of ages 4. 5 and 6, are being held hostage for the political mess and special interests that have developed within the School Com mittee. We sincerely wonder how you would all behave if each of you had a September 1996 kindergartner entering school.

6. Finally, many of us are working parents who logistically already have a nightmare to contend with. By changing the school week, not only are you throwing the working parents of Andover another curve ball, but you also throw the after-

school programs into chaos because of the logistical changes necessary.

Don’t do it! I know that I am not alone in being vehemently opposed to the change in the kindergarten school week and hope that common sense and intelligence will prevail over power plays, politics and mediocrity. What we need here are representatives with open ears, not ones who look for people who w ill tell them what they want to hear, but rather people who have a variety of opinions. The idea is to foiTn consensus not hostility, division and isolation over the community you have been put in office to represent.

THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 7. 1996 35LettersFormer AHS principal:

Stop picking on MullerEditor, Townsman:

As a former resident, teacher and administrator in the Andover school system for 32 years, with my last position being the principal of the Andover High School, it is with concern for the continued quality of the Andover educational system and educational leader ship that makes me appalled at the personal attacks on School Committeeman Dick Muller. Most people have had enough of the negative campaigning on the national level. It is not needed in a School Committee election in Andover. The campaign should focus on educational issues and on the record of the incumbent.

Dick Muller has had the courage to challenge the political powers in town. He has worked to try to get a fairer share of town revenues for the Andover school system and to have the schools have direct control over their maintenance. If the latter had been in place over the last 10 years costs would not be what they are in the present school building project. These two items alone would have a very positive affect on the quality of education in the community.

The School Committee needs a Dick Muller who will step up and take on issues for the good of the educational system. It needs a person with the ability to negotiate successfully, as he did with the latest teaching staff contract. Staff morale is of the utmost importance for a good educational system; and the major building blocks, the teaching contracts and a new evaluation model have come under his leadership. Dick Muller wants for the youth in Andover what Andover gave him. An opportunity to receive the best preparation for the future.

Muller's done a good

job with the buildings

Editor, Townsman:When Dick Muller ran for School

Committee, he could not believe the condition of the buildings and promised accountability. Through his three years he has held true to that commitment. The once deplorable shape1 of our schools has improved dra matically over the last three years. This could not have been done by accepting the status quo. It is not always easy tr influence change. Typically it is resisted by the people in charge. It takes determination and the ability to objectively evaluate situations to have an impact.

Popularity contests are not what I want in my town government. Judge the person by the results. With Dick's efforts the maintenance of our buildings has significantly improved

.because the school department and town work together to prioritize the maintenance needs. We have more accountability and we have seen improvements. I voted for Dick three years ago because 1 knew he would ask the tough questions and get results. A vote for Dick is a vote for sound government. Preventative maintenance pays.

Wants Nadworny to

play by the rulesEditor. Townsman:

One of the main issues being pre sented by the supporters of Mr. Nad worny is working together within the system to resolve issues. The problem is we must judge people by their actions not their words. For those who do not know, attorney Nadworny is the author of the recall petition. Is this the type of leadership we want?

Our community has functioned well with this form of government for 350 years. Should it be changed because attorney Nadworny and his associates don't get their own way? It reminds me of my childhood when a kid who didn’t like the way things were going took his ball home and yelled obscenities from the other side of the fence instead of staying and playing the game, win or lose. We all know in life you win some and you lose some but you do not change the rules of the game mid stream.

He will say that he was only helping. Don’t believe it for a second. I hope peo pie think long and hard about the type of person we want representing us. Andover is a town with a long heritage. To solve problems by refusing to play by the rules is not what we want.

Mr. Muller has worked hard to address the issues of the school systems. working as a member of the School Committee, particularly when he was the chairman. Mr. Muller’s experience and fair-minded approach is w hat will best benefit Andover.

Moira Reed Conrad 82 North St.

Recall petition author:

It's about not listeningEditor, Townsman:, I am co-author of the recall petition that will appear in the town warrant. I wanted to write to clarify my reasons for creating the recall petition.

I have been a lifelong resident of Andover and had become discouraged with the attitudes of some School Committee members. Some members seemed to no longer listen to the townspeople. It saddened me to see my town government not working. An official elected for a three-year term w ho does not listen to the voters does not deserve to remain in office. A recall petition is the only resource the townspeople have

to re-evaluate an elected official during their term. By re-voting, the townspeople will decide whether or not that official will finish their term.

I watched parents at a School Com mittee'meeting on redistricting being shut out of the process.

I watched as parents and townspeo pie struggled to get the attention of the majority of the School Committee to change the school logo.

1 attended many meetings trying to find answers for the non-renewal of Sam Campbell's contract as principal of West Middle. Parents' concerns for this process were never addressed. Signed petitions on Dr. Campbell’s behalf were not acknowledged.

1 would also like to respond to Neil Eater’s Eeb. 1 article titled "Three to run for the one School Committee seat.” I would like to make clear that Eric Nadworny, who is running for the School Committee, was not a petitioner for this recall article. I contacted Mr. Nadworny approximately one year ago to seek legal advice on this petition, due to his background in municipal government. I listed his name as a potential speaker because of that.

All towns should have a recourse to unseat elected officials that are not per forming their duties. I feel that Andover needs a recall petition. Our voices need to be heard. Vote in the town elections on March 25 and attend Town Meeting in April to bring Andover back to the* standards we expect from this town.

Praises Muller's record

Editor, Townsman:I have been observing this mudsling-

ing campaign against Dick Muller’s character and integrity. I have come to the realization that this is the only thing these1 people can do. To talk about his record is a losing proposition. Just ask yourselves if the many issues he voted on had different outcomes where would we be. To remind you, I have listed some that come* to mind.

Do you think the Shawsheen School should have been closed? Without Mr. Muller’s vote on this issue we could have taken a perfectly good resource off line and created even a more severe space problem than we had in the elementary school, causing our taxes to go up further. Do you want condoms distributed in the High School? I don’t, but without Mr. Muller’s vote on this issue you would have. Do you want busing fees? Again Mr. Muller led the charge through a thorough financial analysis showing how ill conceived this fee was. The last and probably the one that has the most impact on our tax dollars is his refusal to allow the town manager and the school building committee to take S500K out of the High School project for more elementary space. He questioned whether the project was under control then and thanks to him, the problem the town manager has now

with this project is not bigger.A vote for Dick Muller is a vote for

sensibility and sound reasoning.Gilbert Demoor

Teacher backs 10.6%

increase schools budget

Editor, Townsman: —As a faculty member of Andover

High School for the past two years and a current member of the school council, I have become painfully aware of the crisis that exists within our system. This crisis does not manifest itself in the quality of the students that walk through our doors every day. nor can it be seen in the efforts of the instruction that is provided. No, this crisis can only be understood after a closer look behind the scenes. The reality is that many classes at the High School are filled to capacity. The Xerox budget-, the only recourse to a staff that has no money for additional classroom materials, does not keep pace with increasing enrollments and the rising cost of paper.

The faculty, the backbone of our system, only attend conferences, visit other schools, and maintain professional affiliations through their own initiative. Often, the expenses associated with keeping current, are paid out of pocket without reimbursement. The bottom line is that teachers are being asked to do more with less each year.

One might say that these problems are not funding problems but problems in the .way money is allocated once it reaches the schools. Perhaps there is “fat” that needs to be trimmed. One look at the budget for the High School would dispel these notions. At a school council meeting recently, I listened to Ellen Parker, principal, discuss the realities of managing a building with a budget that breaks down to approximately $100 per student. Textbooks that are issued each year alone would exceed that amount. Systemwide, Andover is only 1 percent higher than the statewide average for school fund ing. Imagine, Andover actually spenffS less per student than towns such as Tewksbury, Burlington, Woburn and Melrose. I doubt any real estate broker in town would care to include these facts in their discussions with potential out-of-town clients.

It is difficult to believe that anyone would doubt the need to fund every penny of Superintendent Neal’s proposed budget. This budget, with its 10.6- percent increase, will maintain the status quo only. While not a remedy for the many shortfalls that currently exist, this budget will at least prevent us from falling even further behind, ’ll we truly care about the children of Andover, let us not compromise their future.

40 THE TOWNSMAN. MARCH 7, 1996 SportsMethuen ends AHS women's varsity basketball dreamsBy Rick Harrison

Digging itself a Grand Canyon-size hole early in the game, the Andover High worn en's varsity basketball team never got unmarked, and was ousted from the M1AA Division 1 North Tournament following a 65-42 quarterfinal round loss to old foe Methuen last Sunday at the Salem High Veterans Memorial Field House.

A combination of nerves, cold shooting, turnovers and early foul trouble combined to put the bidy Warriors behind 74) quick ly

The Methuen lead grew to 24 3 with less than six minutes left in the first half, and you don't recover from that kind of deficit against a team of Methuen’s ealilxT.

It was 38-15 at the half, and the Rangers' advantage grew as large as 30 points, 53-23, before Andover closed with a 19-12 run.

First year coach Jim Tild&ley’s Lady Warriors may very well be one of the three tflp teams in the state, but unfortunately tin* other two (Haverhill and Methuen) reside in the same league.

This was the fourth time the Andover and Methuen women's teams met this sea son.

They split the games, AHS winning 76-59 in the championship game of the Greater Lawrence Christmas Festival and again 50- 49 in the regular season finale w ith Char lotte Muller’s basket in the final 14 seconds clinching the come from behind triumph

That second loss cost Methuen a share ol the MVC title and no doubt increased the Hangers' intensity and anger for last Sun day's clash.

The Hangers beat Andover 70-57 midway though the regular season.

Andover rusty

The locals showed some definite rust from a 15-day layoff between the reg ular season finale and the tourney opener.

The No. 3 seed received a first round bye, while No. 6 Methuen (18-4 record) already had an easy first round tournament win over Billerica under its belt to chase away the jitters.

Andover, which finished at 164 overall (the four lossesto Haverhill and Methuen), entered the tourney with a four game win streak

Junior 6T" center Sue Tully paced the Andover attack against Methuen with 13 points, while Charlotte Muller added 11, including her 75th trey of the season.

Sarah Muller added six, sophomore Viki Pierce four free throws. Jen Aylward and junior Kristen Wysocki three each and Stephanie Banos two points

The Hangers' 6'3" Jamie Cassidy, MVC Most Valuable Player for the 1995 '96 sea son, was game high with 21 points including a game-opening traditional three-point

play (basket, free throw) that got Methuen off and running.

Katherine Curry and Erin Stewart also reached double figures with 14 and 12 points respectively for the winners.

Andover will graduate only one senior this year, team captain Jen Ayl ward

Methuen’s victory advanced it to the Division 1 North semifinals this past Tuesday night where the Hangers

played Dual County League power Acton- Boxboro (19-3).All-Conference

Sophomore twin sisters Charlotte and Sarah Muller are among the 10 young women. from nine schools, selected first team Merrimack Valley All Conference for the 1995-'96 season.

They will represent Andover at the annual MVC All Star Game this Sunday at Tewksbury High

Golden Warriors lose their opening round testBy Rick Harrison

The Andover High men's varsity basket ball team threw a huge scare into top seed Cambridge Hindge & Nilin in the first half of their MIAA Division 1 North Sectional Tournament first round game Inst week, but the host Falcons rode a solid second half effort to a 6444 victory.

The loss capped a 10-13 season for Andover, which to its credit played one of tHT toughest non league schedules m the state.

Coach Dave Fazio’s squad made it interesting this winter, battling bark from a slow start and then waiting until the final regular season game before qualifying for the Division 1 North Tournament

Needing to win one of two games in the Quincy Invitational Tournament, the Gold en Warriors lost their opening semifinal round test to undefcateil Scituate. 66-55.

However, with its hack squarely against the wall. Andover left no doubt as it pound ed host Quincy T2-35 in the third place con solution game two nights later

Andover's 10-12 regular season mark w*x- below the MIAA required .500 winning percentage, hut losses to New Bedford and Brockton did not count towards qualifica tion for the state tourney, so the locals squeezed in as the 16th and final seed at 10- 10.

It marked the seventh straight year that Fazio has directed AHS to post-season play.

The current Andover coach also boasts a 108 50 overall record at the school.

n d o v e r - C a m b r i d g e R&L

The reward for earning the Division 1 North berth was a first round game against undefeat ed. top seeded C a in b r i d g e Hindge & Latin (20-0).

The Andover Cambridge rival rv goes all the way back to the Patrick Ewing days, when the Wil Hixon- coached Golden Warriors came very close to pulling the upset of the decade before Ewing &Co. rallied for a 59-51 victory before an SHO crowd at the Reading High Field House.

Ted Kelley. Carmen Scarpa. Mike White and Kip Jones were among the top players on that notable Andover squad

More recently. Andover ousted CR&L 52- 50 in the 1991-’92 North Sectional semifinals

with a gallant effort led by Sean Ryan.Kevin Ring, Chris Shea and Kirk Stockwood.

The Falcons returned the favor last year, however, bouncing Andover from the tourney 67-64 in the quarterfinal round, despite the work of Eric Danis and Matt Gibson.

This year’s 64-44 triumph was the most one-sided in the post-season rivalry between the perennial powers.

Coach Fazio comments

"It was a long year but I think we deserved to make the tournament." said coach Fazio. "No one played the kind of non-league schedule we did (New Bedford twice, Brockton. Scituate, Needham. North Andover), and we also had

Davies becomes Bryant's all-time leading scorer Read Rick Harrison in the Townsman sports pages.

Liz Davies

The Celtics had Larry Bird, the Lakers have a certain Magic, and Bryant College in Smithfield,R.I. has Andover native Liz Davies.

Davies recently became the school s all- time leading scorer in women's bas ketball andsurpassed the 2,000- point mark in the process.

The six-foot center, who played her high school basketball at Notre Dame Academy in Tyngsboro. eclipsed the school scoring mark last week with a 27-point performance in Bryant’s 92-83 over time victory against Merrimack College in a Northeast 10 Conference Tournament quarterfinal round playoff game.

That gave her 1.991 and she passed the 2,000 mark by scoring 30 points in a semifinal round game against Bentley College.

The previous record of 1,978 points was set by Karyn Marshall (1982 ’86).

Davies has also grabbed more than 1.000 rebounds in her collegiate career, 17 of which came in that same Herculean effort against Merrimack

Davies averages just under 40 minutes a game, as well as 18.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per contest, for a team which last Sunday received a bid to the NCAA Division 11 Northeast Regional Tournament

Three-time first- team Northeast-10 All- Conference selection Davies, with 2.021 career points, will lead the I^ady Bulldogs (19-9 record) into their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1989.

Bryant, the No. 5 seed in a six-team field, will play New England College Conference champion University of Bridgeport (24-4' tomorrow night in quarterfinal round play at Bentley College in Waltham (7:30).

If Bryant wins it will face top seed Bentley (26-2) in the semifinals Saturday night (7:30).

The title game is Sunday at 7 p.m., and the Regional champion

will advance to the NCAA Division II Elite 8 Tournament March

20-23.

Almost overlooked

Unbelievably, few col lege coaches seemed interested in Davies while she was in high school

Despite scoring 1,836

points and guiding Notre Dame Academy to a pair of Eastern Mass. Division 3 titles and a spot in two State Division 3 championship games. Davies received little attention from college recruiters.

"People were asking me 'where are you going to play next year?’ and I had no idea because 1 didn’t have coaches calling me with offers like people expected,” said Davies.

Bryant College head coach, Mary Burke, made the call that no other recruiter did.

“I saw a fairly ath letic kid who I thought could help our program,” said Burke.

And help the pro

gram is what Davies set out to do, immediately, scoring 28 points and pulling down 18 rebounds in an auspicious collegiate debut for the ktdy Bulldogs.

“The coaches threw us (the freshmen) to the lions and it worked." said Davies.

Eventually. Liz became the building block -for the

turnaround by the women’s basketball team.

"It doesn’t matter how many points she scores." said Burke. 'Just having her on the floor means so much to this team She opened a lot of coaches’ eyes on both the Division I and II levels. They are not going to make the same

games against three outstanding teams from our own conference (tourney qualifiers Central Catholic. Methuen and Haverhill).

“After starting out 1-6 the kids came back and fought to the end,’’ continued Eazio. “It seemed like every time we started to get on a roll we had to play a New Bedford, Brockton or Scituate. It was tuugh to get any kind of winning streak going

“It’s a gtxxl news/bad news thing again. The good news is we got into the tourney. The had news is we got Cambridge."

Scoring leadersCorry McLaughlin, who played in 22 of the 23

games, was the top Golden Warriors' scorer this season with 334 points.

Paul McNeice 218, Pat Sharkey 210. Brendan Ixmg 128 and Ken Oppenheim KM

from 10 schools chosen first team Merrimack Valley All-Conference for the 1995-'96 season . McLaughlin, Paul McNeice and Pat Sharkey

were also naninl to the MVC East All Star team, which will play the MVC West All Stars this Sun d<^\ at 3 p in. at Tewksbury High

Playing what coach Eazio labeled its best first half of the season. Andover stunned heavily favored CR&L with an outstanding early perfor inanci1 that saw the Ealeons clinging to a slender one-point, 27-26 lead at the break

Corry McLaughlin, the Warriors' 6’8" junior center, pumptMl in 16 points in the opening 16 min utes and had Cambridge coach Al Coccoluto scratching his head trying to figure out ways to stop the tall and talented pivotman.

Ix'ss than three minutes into the second half McLaughlin was bit with his fourth personal foul, and during the five minutes he sat the Ealeons doubltxi their lead, from five to 10 points.

•^Shortly after his return to the lineup McLmgh lin fouled out. and Cambridge was again able to double its lead from 10 to the final 20 point margin.

“We made them sweat," said coach Eazio. “Cambridge was scared to death in the first half."

McLmghlin, despite playing just over 20 minutes, hxl all scorers on tx»th sides with 18 points.

Sophomore guard Brendan Ixmg continued his outstanding late season play with 12 points.

Senior captains Pat Sharkey and Paul McNeice finished their high school careers with seven and four points respectively, and Ken Oppenheim tossed in his 12th three pointer of the season.

Quincy Tournament SemifinalScituate 66Arttiover 55

“We went into the tournament still demoral

ized from the triple-overtime loss to New Bedford," said coach Eazio. "We had four or five chances to beat New Bedford, and qualify for the state tourney, and when we didn't it took a lot out of our team. It would have been such a great win

"I was hoping we’d respond against Scituate, but we didn’t come out with much energy or enthusiasm. Our performance really had nothing to tlo with Scituate. It was more a reflection of our state of mind at the time.

“Our kids did fight like dogs to get back into the game We pulled within seven and were at the foul line in the second half, but that's as close as we came," said Eazio.

Scituate, which improved to 19-0 with the victory, led 34 19 at the half.

Sophomore guard Brendan Ixmg led three AHS players into double figures with 15 points, 6’8” junior center Corry McLiughlin added 14 points and seven rebounds, and captain Pat Sharkey contributed II i>oints, five assists.

Senior guard Ken Oppenheim tossed in nine points and added three steals, captain Paul McNeice scored four points and junior guard Ryan Games had two points.

Once again the free throw line was pivotalAndover finished with a 21-17 edge in field

goals, and shot 80 percent from the free throw line by hitting 8-of-10. But Scituate paraded to the foul line 39 times and converted 26.

"McNeice and Sharkey both fouled out late in the game, and we had a zillion people with four fouls." said coach Eazio

Quincy Tournament Consolation Andover 72 Quincy 35

The Presidents, who entered the game with a lowly 3-16 record, were just what the doctor ordered.

“It was time for our kids to either step up or move on to other things," said Eazio.

Eortunately they stepped up.Corry McLaughlin poured through 24 points

and this one was never close after the first few minutes. Andover racing to a commanding 38 16 halftime advantage.

Pat Sharkey added 13 points while Ken Oppenheim. Brendan Ixmg and junior guard Pat Annese jxH-keted seven points each.

Paul McNeice tossed through six. sophomore forward Jeff Danis four, and rounding out the nine player attack with one basket each were junior forward Mark O'Sullivan and Ryan Games.

McLmghlin completed a double double by rip ping down 13 rebounds, and the steadily improving Long passed out seven assists and played a strong defensive game.

The 72 points matched the season high, achieved the previous week in a victory over Chelmsford, and the 35- points by Quincy marked the third time this season the Golden Warriors held an opponent under 40 (North Andover 31, lxiwoll 36).

mistake they did with Liz ever again."

Multiple honorsBurke's confidence

paid off in a steady stream of honors for Davies. including Northeast 10 Conference Freshman of the- Year. three time first tejm All Conference and Kodak All American honorable mention

Although extremely talented, what separates Davies from other players in the North- east-10 is her tireless work ethic.

“There may be players that are bigger or faster than Liz. but no player is going to outwork her," said Burke.

Between her sopho inore and junior cam- (4igns, Davies dedicated herself to lifting weights and improving her quickness.

Warriorgymnastics(Continued irom page 42)

ish among the top six in the state.

Junior Zach Gray had an excellent meet which included strong performances in vault (^5), floor exercise (6.2) and on rings (5.0).

Taylor, in addition U> placing on high bar, scored a 7.8 in the vault and a 6.1 on parallel bars.

Jason Nicholson contributed a 7.15 in fhxir and a 5.0 on pom mel horse.

Senior GregCerniglia posted a per sonal best 7.2 score in the vault.Storer champ ^Newton North

junior standout Gingi Storer placed first in five of the six events and won the all around easily with a 51.3 total.

Storer won the floor exercise, vault, pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar competition and placed second on rings.

Adversity struck early in her junior year, however, as the finance major suffered a stress fracture in her leg The injury forced Davies to miss the entire pre-season schedule.

Liz fought back from the temporary setback to lead Bryant in scoring last year, as the Lidy Bullbogs went on to capture the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Con ference (ECAC) chant pionship

Davies' trademark is relentless hustle, using great positioning and virtually unstop pable post moves to beat double- and tripleteams night in and night out.

"She knows how to use her body so well," said coach Burke. "Teams try so many different things to stop her. but nothing works."

When other teams effectively shut Davies down, she said she kicks the ball out to the guards.

“We have great guards who can keep up with anyone in this league,” said Davies. ‘‘They're more than capable of hitting the outside shot and that

takes a lot of the pres sure off me.”Natural leader

Davies evolved naturally into the leader than Burke first saw four years ago at Notre Dame Academy, aver aging over 20 points and nine rebounds per game while leading Bryant in both field goal and free throw per centage.

Davies is one of only six Bryant College ath letes, the other five men, to surpass the 2.000 point plateau

It may be a long time before her records are equalled.

Palmers restaurant receives a new smoking varianceBy Naomi Voorhees

The Board of Health recently approved a new smoking variance for Palmers restaurant. 18 Elm St. Palmers is now allowed to serve a full- service menu from the time it opens until 3:30 p.m. During that time, smoking is not allowed? From 3:30 until closing. Palmers will serve a limited bar menu in its tavern and smoking is permitted.

Previously. Palmers had smoking full time in its tavern and served a restricted bar menu.

The Board of Health has the power to grant smoking variances according to the smoking bylaw passed at Town Meeting in 1994.

According to Everett Penney, health director, there has been some talk by local residents of re-visiting the bylaw and making it stricter, pos sibly eliminating the board's power to grant variances. Though the position the board would take is unclear. Mr. Penney said. “Generally the Board of Health would support any effort to improve the public health."Property Transfers

Senator O'Brien working on credit-reporting reform law

Have You Tried A TOWNSMAN CLASSIFIED? It Pays!

Call 475-1943 For An Ad Taker

It is estimated that approximately a third of all credit reports contain errors. Serious errors in consumer credit reports cause banks, employers, landlords and others to unfairly deny consumers credit, insurance, employment and even a place to live.

State Senator John D. O’Brien, D Andover, announces that the new Massachusetts Credit Reporting Reform Law seeks to solve this prob lem.

Under this new legislation, which was sponsored by Sen. O’Brien and 36 other legislators and endorsed by the Office of the Attorney General, Execu tive Office of Con sumer Affairs and the Massachusetts Consumers’ Coalition, Massachusetts residents are allowed to obtain a free copy of their credit report.

The Massachusetts Credit Reporting Reform law requires that credit bureaus pro-

vide clear explanations for the information. The law makes otherdemands, too.

What is

There's a lot of talk about home loan prequalification by mortgage brokers and real estate agents

There is a difference between loan prequalification and preapproval Pre-qualification, which is usually done by brokers and agents, means working with the buyer to determine how much house they can afford and which loans are the most likely to be available to them. Loan pre-qualification can save a buyer time and money, and can even be a bargaining tool with a seller, however, it is not the same as loan “pre-approval".

Pre-approval means that the lender has definitely committed to lending the buyer money once the house itself is approved. Since it is a much stronger pledge, it is a much more valuable negotiating tool. Only a lender can give preapproval from underwriters with as little as a phone call So when you hear someone talking about, “pre-approvaf make sure that it is lender preapproval. and know that your Realtor can help.

Call us at 475-1243 for the names of lenders in our area.
