DRINK: Chief says no recent calls

Continued from Page One He said the board has never received a formal request from Bosco to put up the signs. Obviously we dont want drinking at a baseball field with kids, theres no need for that, said Don Mazas, the associations treasurer. He said he wasnt aware of the sign issue. The association, which organizes games for kids as young as 6, has a sign near the entrance on Nichols Road that lists a set of rules, including the prohibition of golf and the drinking of alcoholic beverages. If thats the case, Bosco asks, why not make the message even clearer by installing more signs? He believes there is a problem with parents and even coaches drinking before and during games. What were showing kids is that we cant give up alcohol for one day to spend as a family day, Bosco said. He runs an anti-drug program in town called Crossroads, which has been successful at putting dozens of young drug addicts from Wolcott into rehano recent alcohol-related calls. People couldnt be thrown out simply for drinking because there is no town ordinance that bans open containers. Also, public drunkenness, by itself, is not a crime. However, if a person disobeyed the rules and was asked to leave, they could be charged with trespassing, Stephens said. Town and youth sports facilities are generally considered to be alcohol free. The Wolcott Sports Complex, off Spindle Hill Road, has a sign that says no alcoholic beverages ... per order of Wolcott Police Department. The facility is run by Boscos brother, Robert Bosco. Steve Bosco said spectators have willingly complied. At Wolcott High School, all outside beverages were banned from the stands after it was found that some people were smuggling alcohol into events using Dunkin Donuts containers. Only drinks purchased at the snack bar are allowed beyond the entrance. Visit rep-am.com to comment on this story.

HERO: Filipinos honored Dalton

Continued from Page One Dalton, 35, had been promoted from colonel only the month before his death. It goes okay out here Pete, like any other corner of the war men live hard and scramble and scratch to beat the other guy and some dont come back, Dalton wrote in a letter dated April 25, 1945, to a friend in the borough. We will win this war and I hope we never face the prospects of another such ... As assistant commander of the 25th Division, Daltons leadership was instrumental in the capture of Balete Pass, a strategic point in the Philippines. On May 16, 1945, the day after the battle was won, Dalton was shot in the head while inspecting the Japanese defenses he had just conquered. The government of the Philippines later renamed the area Dalton Pass. Dalton was with five others when the sniper opened fire, according to the WorldTelegram. He was shot trying to take cover under an overhanging rock. He fell against the leg of Lt. Col. J. D. Vanderpool, and rolled back into the line of fire already dead, Vanderpool told the newspaper. GEN. DOUGLAS MACARTHUR EXPRESSED GREAT SORROW at Daltons death, and in 1966 told the Waterbury Republican his dedication to his country and his bravery in combat established a record never equaled. He left a wife, Katherine Starbird, the poet laureate of Vermont, and two young daughters. They were living in Vermont by the time Dalton died, but his aunt Esther still lived in the borough. Newspaper articles report his military Mass filled St. Francis Church. Daltons family moved to Naugatuck shortly after his birth in New Britain. He grew up in a neighborhood he called the Hill, which includes Galpin Street and Highland Avenue, and went to St. Francis Grammar School. A borough friend, George McNamara, described him decades later in the Waterbury Sunday Republican as a typical youth, one who loved the outdoor life. Dalton graduated in 1927 from Naugatuck High School. The yearbook indicates that Dalton, known as Jimmy, ran track and played football. Jimmy certainly does sail on when it comes to the track team, but Jimmy did not stop with the cinder path, his entry reads. He sailed right through his studies to the shores of Annapolis, where he is our first alternate. Dalton entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1929, graduating four years later as a second lieutenant. He started his military career in the cavalry at a time when cavalrymen still rode horses instead of tanks, and was assigned to Fort Ethan Allen in Vermont presumably where he met his wife. During a polo match, Daltons horse took fright and nearly trampled a group of spectators, according to numerous newspaper retellings. Seeing the danger to the crowd, Dalton pulled on the reins until the horse fell, with Dalton underneath. His sacrifice earned him a spinal injury and six months at Walter Reed Hospital in Maryland. After his hospital stay, he was assigned to the infantry. DALTON WAS AT PEARL HARBOR DURING the 1941 bombing and later received the Silver Star medal as commander of the 161st Regiment, one of the two units that conquered the Japanese stronghold at Guadalcanal. He was widely quoted as saying, Boy, am I glad to see you! to the commander of the other unit as they met and shook hands on the battlefield. He was known as Dusty Dalton for conducting inspections in white gloves, which he would run along windowsills in search of dust. Borough veterans reacting to draft card burnings, peace marches and other indications of a growing lack of patriotism among members of todays In generation proposed a scholarship program in 1966 in Daltons name, according The Sunday Republican. The fund gave out a handful of scholarships before drying up, articles from the Naugatuck Daily News indicate. Sixty-seven years from the month Dalton was killed, his story is fading into obscurity as his World War II contemporaries die, including the community icon Franklin Johnson Sr. two years ago. The only person who would know anything about it would probably be Frank Johnson, and he passed away, said Stanley Stanley Borusiewicz, quartermaster of the boroughs Veterans of Foreign Wars post. Borough historian Sandra Clark believes General Dalton Drive was named in the early 1950s. Since then, she said, she has not heard much of the boroughs onetime war hero. Lest we forget, and we do, Clark said. Visit rep-am.com to comment on this story.

hedge funds in Congress and blasting him for accepting hedge fund money. Her campaign has been spotlighting Murphys vote in May 2010 against an amendment to close what it describes as a tax loophole on carried interest that benefits hedge funds. Carried interest is the share of any profits that the general partners of private equity and hedge funds receive as compensation. The failed amendment proposed to tax 75 percent of such investment income as ordinary income and 25 percent as capital gains. The Murphy campaign contends that vote is being taken out of context, pointing out that the congressman voted to change the tax treatment of carried interest in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Bysiewicz has also been using the disputed vote to try to link Murphy and Mitt Romney, the presumed Republican presidential candidate. This was not the only example. She charged his 2010 vote allowed Romney and other wealthy investors to continue paying a 15 percent tax rate. Her campaign has also highlighted contributions from Bain Capital, the private equity firm that Romney once headed. Kristen Mugford, a managing director at Bain, gave Murphy $5,000

THE BACK-AND-FORTH OVER CONTRIBUTIONS from the financial industry seems likely to carry through the Aug. 14 primary as Bysiewicz shows no signs of relenting from this line of attack. She is clearly trying to make Murphys fundraising a defining issue, and her persistence may make it increasingly difficult for Murphy to ignore her criticism. His record is providing Bysiewicz with more than enough fodder. Individuals and PACs associated with the financial industry have given Murphy more than $1 million since 2006, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group that tracks political fundraising.
