If that doesn't happen, he could petition to force a September primary. If LaFemina runs for first selectman, that would open up a selectman's spot on the ticket. The caucus could tap Kleutsch for the spot pick someone else, or leave iUvacant Kleutsch would have to primary if someoneelse got the spot If the seat remained empty, he would merely have to circulate a petition signed by five percent of registered Democratic voters to be automatically placed on the ballot. party's positions to the public on everything from open space to open government to education.

Piombino said education is one of the major reasons why he's running for selectman. "I don't think educational needs are adequately served by the board of selectmen, particularly the majority of the selectmen," he said. "I have the utmost respect for Jerry. I don't think he has been as effective an advocate for educational needs as he could have been. His argument is he is there for all the taxpayers but that has been a Republican excuse not to support Selectman Continued from Page B1 committee.

Neither Melanie Clark, town committee chairwoman, nor Richard Fanelli, nominating committee chairman, could be reached for comment Asked about Kleutsch being passed over, LaFemina said that's a decision of the nominating committee. "They interview all the candidates and decide who they feel best represents the party," he said. "The committee was looking for individuals who would take on the basic premise of the party platform." LaFemina, who is considering making a run for first selectman, said the platform is an important focal point for Democrats, a way to energize the party and convey the education." Going into the July 26 caucus, Kleutsch does have a number of tions available to him. He could be nominated from the caucus floor and be voted onto the slate, ousting board of directors. He added that he expects roughly 7,000 people to attend the event This weekend's events will begin tonight at 7 with the calling of the corps, called the "tattoo," and the event's opening ceremonies.

The various corps will then hold a jam session starting at 8 On Saturday, the corps will march through the town at noon from Kirtland and Main streets to Devitt's Field. The corps will hold a concert from 2 to 9 p.m., followed by another jam session lasting until midnight All of the events are free. Along with watching her own corps, Malcarne said she is looking forward to seeing the Moodus Corps. The corps' members play on, original drums from the 1800s. Malcarne also wants to hear the Landcrast Corps, which is composed of 50-year fife and drum veterans.

"This is something that's nice to pass on to other generations," Mal carne said. Another of Malcarne's favorites is the W.B.C.L Posse, whose members are mostly from the Bronx. Malcarne said Posse's unique style is the equivalent to rock and roll in the fife and drum community. "They use the rudimentary rhythms, but bring it right on the edge," she said. Lt.

CoL Robert Freniere, a longtime patron of the event said the Deep River Ancient Muster derives its history from an era when volunteer militias were summoned to a town's green via fife and drum corps. Freniere said American musters during the Revolutionary War marked the beginnings of sacrifice and independence for militiamen. Food, refreshments and muster-related crafts and paraphernalia will be available on the field from private vendors.

Rooted in America's Revolutionary War militia system, the Deep River Ancient Muster brings together fife and drum corps to celebrate the height of the drumming seascm.

While LeVasseur was able to read the inscription on the stone a decade ago, it has now eroded to the point where it is ho longer legible. While the Roast Meat Hill Road cemetery is filled with gravestones dating from Colonial times and the early 1800s, a more recent headstone in the southwest corner of the cemetery tells the story of an Austrian who fled the Nazis on the eve of World Warn. Hermann Broch, described on his gravestone as a poet and philosopher, became friendly with author and Killingworth resident Hugh Canby after he arrived in the United States in the 1930s.

The story of the man who talked to the animals has been made into two movies, a 1960s film with Rex Harrison and a more recent film with comic Eddie Murphy in the title role.

North Chestnut Hill Road, and deep in the woods near Bunnels Bridge on an abandoned town road that extends off Emmanuel Church Road. Killingworth even though Broch never lived in the town. LeVasseur said he has received two separate calls since becoming first selectman in 1995 from Austrian visitors inquiring if he knew the location of Broch's grave.
