"We are going to havemore problems beforewe catch up with thehome building in town,"commented TownManager John WelchSelon the recent rash ofrequests by townresidents to straightenthe road curves. "Newhousing developmentsare leap-froggingthroughout the town onroads that are not suitedfor the increased traf-fic

"As one of our coun-cilmen said. many ofour roads were not builtfor the kind of trafficthey now handle." con-tlnued Welchsel "Themore traffic on thesecountry roads, the morecompl•amts are madeabout them "

The town managerdoesn't see the problemresolved for "many.many years At least notin my lifetime

Long-l,asting Problem

The town currentlyhas a list of priorityroad reconstructlo•projects which focuseson one road and curve ata time The FlandersRd curve, which wasthe scene of twoautomobile fatalities infive years, recentlyreceived a facellft tostraighten out thecurve The actionproceeded several coun-cilmen and arearesidents appeal to havethe town rectify thecurwe after a one-car ac-cident killed aSouthlngton residentthis summer

"'There is a parallelbetween people com-plaaulng at)out a curveand the number of ac-c,dents resulting fromthat curve." expla,nedWelchse] "The tov, n'spriority on road con-struchon is influencedby the number of ac-cidents on that sectionof the road and on therecommendations of thepolice chief ""

Southmgton PoliceChief G Robert Trlanoconcurs with Weichselon the town's currentroad problem

"'Some of the townroads were not built forthe amount of traffictraveling on them,"remarked Trlanothink the town is findingIt necessary to take outmany of tl•e dangerouscum'es that are causingsome of these ac-

cldents "To remedy the

situation totally wouldcost the taxpayers over$10 million, estimatedthe town manager

"There are just toomany curves that existin town, Southlngtonwill never be free ofthem,'' addedWeichsel "It's im-possible to make everyroad straight."

The short rangesolution proposed bysome councilmen is tohave the town's Plan-ning and Zoning Com-mission regulate thehousing developmentsin outlying areas or tohave the commissiondemand from thedeveloper that it beresponsible for theroads leading to theresidential areaThe town manager told

the council earlier thismonth that he would askthe PZC to look intotighter controls fordeveloping areas Buthe told The Observerthat he was not too op-timistic about theproposal

Town PlannerDomlmck Caruso said,"I don't know of anyto',•n that holds thedeveloper responsiblefor the surroundingroads "

Currently. the onlypower the town has asfar as road constructionover the developer is Ifthe road is within h•ssubdivision, addedCaruso

Monitoring Traffic

Town Engineer An-thony Tranqulllo hassaid that a master planreflecting the trafficeach town road handleswould be a partialsolution But to measureand monitor every roadin Southlngton would bea sizable project for hmdepartment, hecautioned However. ifthe town had figuresfrom such a p/an to useas a reference,Tranqmllo pointed out,it would be a great helpm justifying the costs ofa certain road con-structlon project

Whatever pathSouthington decides totravel towards easingthe numeroustreacherous curves thatdot the town's roads.future complaints equalto Hart St and JudeLane are bound to oc-cur

A Happy New Year!The entire staff of The Observer wishes each and everyone

Happy thoughts and good cheer are no',• the order of theday and should be with you and your family and your friendsas the Ne• Year approaches

No there •s less reason for us to observe January 1 as thebeginning of a ne• calendar 3'ear than there is for our localand natmnal governments to conlmue using July 1 as thebegmmng of a ne,a fiscal year just because, once upon a hme.('ongre,.;,,e,, flmshed thmr legislative work by the end of June

Until Jan. 18, 1977 mem-bers of the Commission wereas follows: John Sullivan,chairman; Robert White,vice chairman; EdwardPickett, secretary, JohnHemingway and FrankGalante On Jan. 18, 1977,Sullivan resigned from thecommission in order to serveon the Town Council for theunexpired term of JohnDaley, on Jan 20, 1977,Pickett was elected to serveas chairman of the IndustrialDevelopment Commissionand Frank Galante assecretary Subsequently.Norman Nelson was ap-pointed to the commissionand commenced his duties onFeb. 24, 1977

Pexto Sells Out

Peck. Stow and WilcoxCompany (Pexto) informedthe commission that they hadsold their product line to theRoper-Whitnoy. Co of Rock-ford. Ill. and would beclosing down on Oct. 8, 1976The Commission im-mediately took action in twodirections A survey wastaken to determine the needsof all of our local industriesfor specific skills Thesewere matched with the skillsof the approximately 120 em-ployees affected by theclosing, thus putting manyback to work Also. knowingthat Elco Industries.Southington Division was inneed of additional manufac-turing space, the com-mission, on Oct 8. 1976suggested that they considerpurchasing the Pexto proper-ty, which subsequently theyd•d .

The three remaining lots inour municipal Black PondIndustrial Park were sold af-ter twice being ptrt out forb•d The buyers were GriffinConstructmn Co. EdwardRelnhard and RaymondPerron Conditions of eachsale require minimum 3,000square foot industrialbuildings be started no laterthan May 11, 1979 and becompleted by Nov ll, 1979

Personal Contact

A vm•tatmn program con-slsting of personal contactand a detailed survey was in-shtuted by the commissionas an on going activity Thepurpose of this program is todiscover the needs of ourlocal industries and to lendassistance where needed Itwas found that asmstancewas needed in a variety ofareas On behalf of several ofour smaller industries,arrangements for workingcapital were made throughthe Connecticut Develop-ment Credit Carp, the SmallBumness" Administration.and several banks Also. con-tacts were made for some ofthese businesses to receivetechnical assistance fromfield representatives of theConnecticut Dept of Com-merce

In one instance the com-mission was able to help alarge local industry by ex-pediting their application tothe Connecticut Dept of En-vironmental Protection forcertain approvals necessaryto produce a product whicheventually will lead to,ap-proximately 25 additionaljobs for Southington resi-dents. Also, contacts werearranged with the GeneralServices Administration ofthe federal government forvendor approval to enablesome of our loaal industriesto bid on government work.

Other contacts were madewith the Connecticut Labor

Department to set up em-ployee training programswithin several of our in-dustries and providing reim-bursement fop half theircosts in training new em-ployees.

The commission arrangeda meeting with the Board ofWater Commissioners onJune 20, 1977 for the purposeof discussing ways to solvethe problem of lack of waterand insufficient waterpressure in the West QueenSt and West St. area whichseriously affected severalexisting industries andinhibited the further develop-ment of this fine industrialarea Subsequently, a specialmeeting held on June 27, 1977was attended by our com-mission, the Board of WaterCommissioners; TownManager John Weichsel; JRobert Britton, Town Coun-cil chairman, and AndrewMeade, Town Councilminority leader As a resultof these meetings, the TownCouncil is considering aproposal for the financing ofa water standpipe to be erec-ted on West Queen St., andfor the extension of watermains from West Queen Stalong West St to West Ridge

Outside Storage

A Chamber of Commet:cesurvey disclosed that ap-proximately 20% of our localindustries in 1-1 zoned areaseither had a need •'or or werecurrently using outsidestorage in their, dailyoperations, which is, inviolation of the "flSningregulations. The commissionm of the opinion that zomeform of outside storageshould be allowed in the I-1zone providing that it can beregulated so that it would notadversely affect the qualityof our environment Thecommission is therefore nowin the process of drafting aregulation to be submitted tothe Planning and ZoningCommission for its con-sideration

Recognizing citizen par-ticipation as an importantingredient in the long rangeeconomic developmentprocess, closer ties wereestablished with feasibility ofeither establishing a newlocal economic developmentcorporation or revitalizingthe Southington IndustrialFoundation

An active local develop-ment corporation with wide•eread citizen support from

community can serve anumber of useful functions inthe promotion of economicexpansion It can supply•lant space in new or olduildlngs, purchase and

develop industrial sites, andcoordinate long term loansto manufacturers, usinglocal bank funds and low in-terest state and federalfunds Also, •n order to en-courage citizen participationthe commission's coordina-tor has obtained a position asex-officio member of theBoard of Directors of theSouthington Chamber ofCommerce, has co-chairedan economic seminar forSouthington businessmenand has addressed various.civic organizations such asthe Civitan Club, Kiwanisand the Exchange Club

TRAVEL, WINE & DINE

A Cheese and Wine PartyAre you tired of the

usual cocktail party 'Next time. instead ofeocktads, why not give acheese and wine party

It's more fun,pleasant and less ex-pensive It's quick, easyto prepare and just asquick and easy to clearaway It makes for goodconversation and turnsyour thoughts to aholiday abroad.

The marriage ofcheese and wine hasbecome an age-oldlegend People aroundthe world have enjoyedcheese and wine sinceBiblical times, eachhaving their own localtaste and traditions

Cheese is popular forthere is a type for everytaste Eaten with acrusty slice of bread andaccompanied with aglass of wine suchfavorites as Brie,Camembert or Cheddarmakes a magnificentmeal With flavors thatrange from mild tosharp and textures thatgo from soft to hard,there are cheeses to suitevery palate For yourparty select the kinds ofcheeses that you andyour friends will enjoy

To help you selecthere are some of myfavorites Althoughmany of the cheeses areforeign in origin manyare now made here inthe United StatesGood examples are theEdam and Gouda ofHolland

Camembert -- French,soft, thin edible crust.creamy interior

Goudmandise --French. a soft cream','spread flavored v.'lt[akirsch

Brle -- French. whitecrust, creamy yellov, m-terior, edible crust

Bel Paese -- ltahan,soft, milk flavor, soldin individual boxes

Gjetost -- Norwegian.goat's milk cheese, of-ten called 'brownsugar '

Tilsit -- Danish, mild,mellow in flavor, comesplain or studded with

caraway seedsRiksost -- Sweden.

known as farmer'scheese, mild pleasantaroma

And to top off yourparty don't forget theAmerican's favorites,Cheddar and Swiss

To fully enjoy thequalities of a cheese.remove from re-frigerator and letstand at room tem-perature for 30 minuteselate serving Soft

cheese such as Camem-bert should be almostrunny to be at its most•leasmg They should

e removed from therefrigerator at least 2hours in advance

Now for the winesWith over 5.000 differentnames and brands onthe market, are you con-fused when buyingwines" Most are but youshouldn't be With a lit-tle time and patienceyou can become a semi-expert without samplingthe majority of bottleson the shelves

, Today there are no setrules as to which winesare to be served withwhich foods You are theconnoisseur Customsand taste vary fromtown to to•n, state tostate and country tocountry Based on yourown taste and the oc-casion the choice is sim-ple to determine whatwine goes best with thefood to be served

Basmallv there areonly four I•mds of wineThe still wines, thes"parkhng wines, for-tlhed wines and thearomatic winesKfiowing a little aboutthe four categories willmake vour selectionsomew•a t easier

The still wines, red.white and rose. oftenreferred to as Tablewines, are low in alcoholvolume Ranging fromdry to sweet, still winesare served with the en-tree at dinners or par-ties To fully com-plement the food redwines are served roomtemperature White or

rose should be wellchilled An hour or sobefore serving red wineremove the cork Thiswill give the wine achance to breathe andbring out the true flavorand aroma

Sparkling wines suchas Champagne, aremade by adding sugarto create the bubbles•better known as fer-mentation) Sparklingwines are very versatileand can be served atanytime with manycombinations of foods.They should be servedlightly chilled Themethod I like best is tonestle the bottle in abucket filled with ice for20 minutes before ser-ving

Fortified wines, suchas the Sherries andPorts, are made by add-lng brandy to give thewine more strengthMuch higher in alcoholvolume, fortified winescan be served as an ap-penzer or dessert For-tiffed wines can besweet or dry and shouldbe served room tem-perature Many will in-rest that these wines arepleasanter when servedslightly chilled

Last the Aromaticwines, such as Ver-mouths and Aperitifs,.are made by adding theflavors of spices, herbsand roots Used prin-cipally as a cocktailingredient, aromaticwines should be servedchilled or 'on the rocks'as a cocktail

Gaining in popularityare the so called 'fruitwines' made fromberries, fruits or by ad-ding the juice of citrusfruits The fruit wines,served chilled are slow-ly replacing the tablewine at dinner amongthe younger generation

A question that isfrequently brought up ishow much should a goodbottle of wine costGreat wines are ex-pensive and should beleft to the experts Forour party a good bottle

Tete-a-tete With Terry TataIt's hard to believe Terry Tata is now a

full-fledged veteran umpire in theNational League It seems like yesterdayhe was a cherubic-faced arbiter in theJimmy Piersall League in my hometownof Waterbury Incidentally. let the recordstate. I once hit a "solid" 217 m thatleague

Anyway, Terry's years of serviceearned him an assignment in the Nation-al League playoffs in '76, and I believe,next fall he'll be working the WorldSeries

My oh my, the Waterbury lad, nowresiding in nearby Cheshire. has cut quitea path for h•mself already He is knownamong h•s contemporaries as thedefinitive wine connoisseur among thebig time men m blue

These wintry nights, Terry sits by hisfireplace conjuring up memories of thehot - and I mean hot - days of the pastbaseball season, when the temperaturebouncing off the Astro-turf surfaces ofmost N L parks soared over 100 degrees'

"Yes, we had to work many gamesduring that intense heat," he said in arecent telephone interview with th•sreporter "It was incredible "

Whether It was the sizzling heat of thesummer or what. there was a recordnumber of players getting the heave-heduring, the '77 campmgn It certainlycouldnt be blamed on any franticd•vision races m the senior circuitbecause there were none

Terry took a m•nute to reflect on thenumerous thumbings "There was astretch m June and July when we set arecord for ejections I guess •t came a-bout because of a combination of thingsOur crew was working a series betweenthe Philhes and Pirates when the heatwas intense. Carlton had beaten the Bucs8-1 m the opener, an easy win. In the nextgame. Hebner hit one for the Phillies thatlanded on top of the outfield fence andbounced back m play The ground ruleswere specific •n that s•tuahon, the ballwas still •n play The Phfllies MikeSchmldt was jogging around the bases mfront of Hebner. thinking it was a homerun They darn near nailed him at theplate, but he was called safe The Pwateswent crazy

"We were working with a three mancrew as Ed Sudol was ill and couldn'tmake •t The next day, the Bucs short-stop. Taveras (Frank), wanted h•sglasses while in the field He slowlywalked rote the dugout We were dyingfrom the heat Twice we told him to hurryup He wouldn't bsten, so we threw h•mout The Pirate bench went nuts We hadto throw four more of them ou• It waswild

"The next serms was in Chicago Hotagain The Cubs were getting blasted sothey inserted Larry Bittner, usually afirst baseman, to p•tch He threw at a guyso we canned him The Cubs got hot. sowe had to eject a few more Those were

wild days "When Terry mentioned working with

one man short in Philly, later in theseason, in Houston, there were two umpsin his crew out Terry and another um-pire worked a game themselves andreceived plaudits from both managers in-volved:

The soft spoken Major League umpirewas also revolved in a controversial playin Cincinnati that illustrated his talentsas an ump The Giants were in Cincy Thedate was a Friday the 13th, of all things,and the play occurred when San Fran-cisco's Larry Herndon was attempting toscore He stepped on the catcher's mask,laying in front of the plate The Red'sfirst sacker, Don Drlessen, noticed theno-no by Herndon and called attention toit to plate umpire Tata "The runner •sout," stated Terry empha!!cally.

"Funny." said Terry, the game wasbeing televised back to the coast and thepicture vindicated my call, showingclearly, Herndon stepped on the mask,missing home plate Had Johnny Bench'smask been on home plate, Herndon wouldhave been safe "

What with the tremendous amount ofhome runs th•s past season, I asked Terryff he saw a noticeable difference in thebaseballs "Not at the beginning," hecommented "But, later yes I'll tell youanother thing the balls were better madethis past season The shtching tells youhow good the baseball is

"Later m the season I noticed the 'rab-bit' m the ball. You get a little gu.y likeLarry Bowa hitting four home runs •n onemonth, you know something is differentwith the ball In the Astrodome, theyhave yellow seats, which are situated along,way frqm hm-ne plate. G•:eg Luzinskihit one in those seats this past season:first one to do it They were also flyingballs into the purple seats, too "

One of the amazing success stories ofthe N L season was the p•tching ofreliever Bruce Sutter 11.35 e.r a and 31saves} "The kid was fantastic." saidTata "His sinkerball dropped a foot, Iswear It comes in around the knees anddrops into the dirt The pitches arestrikes and the players must swing But,the Cubs overworked him He hadsomething like 80 innings in by the All-Star game ,You just can't do that to a pit-cher That s what happened to anotherrebever, Mike Marshall They over-worked him This kid Lavelle IGary,Giants. 2 06 e r a, 20 saves) has goodstuff from the s•de "

As for rookies who impressed Terry?"Andre Dawson from Montreal (Rookieof the Year, 282 average, 19 home runs,65 ribbies and 21 stolen bases) was a goodone So was the kid the Mets got from the•eds, Tom Henderson t297, 12 homeruns •

Liberty St. Fed Blue K dghtsWhen I think of

Southington Highbasketball teams Ialways think of LibertyStreet To many of thenewcomers in town,Liberty St is lustanother street, this onelinking Center to EdenAve

But it was Liberty Stwhich providedSouthington High withmany of its basketballplayers and several whowill never be forgottenin the school'shmtory Itwas the tough area oftown years ago buttough only to those whonever really took thetime to know theinhabitants of theItalian-dominated sec-tion of downtown,

It was here that someof Southington's bestathletes were developedin all sports includingmany who excelled inathletics even if they didnot perform in a BlueKnight uniform It wasat Liberty Street wheretelephone poles servedas basketball poles andwhere baseball batswere sliced to ac-comodate a self-devisedgame of baseball knownas "stocking ball " Dueto limited playing areas,the ball had to be madeof some soft material sosocks were used andsewed together withrolled and compactedtissue paper for the in-side
