The PZC did discuss the
draft regulations to allow
hmited outside storage in I-I
zones drawn up by Town
Planner Dominic Caruso. It
was apparent to the commissioners, however, that
there was not enough input
from the town's industrial
sector concerning their
feelings
towards
the
proposed regulations. They
agreed to postpone further
discussion on the draft until
their next meeting on Aug

race tracks, do not
her•uire the vast acreage
as, Duksa claims.
What Duksa wants to
do is sell 120 acres of his
land to industry. His
ideal vision of his land's
use would be an industrial park containing
carefully-manicured,
well-planned corporate
headquarters or other
t•,pes of attractive
firms. Duksa hopes to
have an aesthetically
designed industrial park
because he plans to live
out his days on the
Southingtun
property
next-door to the site.
"I hate Florida," he
explained, "so I'm not
going to sell out and
move south I don't want
to live anywhere but
here on West St. for the
rest of my life."
However, an ominous
cloud hangs over Duksa
in his attempts to sell
his land to the desired
industry he wants to see
come in. The foreboding
stumbling block •s the
lack of sewerage in the
area. Because of the
basic need most firms
have for sewerage, the
corporated " headquarters and the attractive
industry Duksa wishes
for refuses to build on
his land
Duksa has had a long
track record of firms
and
other
groups

discovering the West St

discounted the hook-up
to the old 1914 sewage
line.
"This has been the
first time in 7O years I
have asked the town for
something." exclaimed
Duksa ,"What I am
trying to do will benefit
everyone: both the town
and its people The
types of •ndustry I'm
looking for would pay
large taxes and employ
a large number .,of
people from th•s area
According to Duksa,
he has no alternative
but to sell the 120 acres
of land
Zoned Industrial-2, or heavy •ndustrml usage. Duksa's
property south of West
St. can be used for
storage of construction
materials,
including
pipe, storage and repair
of construction eqmpment. storage or collection of used hres and
storage of well-drilling
equipment, as well as
other ahke uses with the
approval of the Planrang and Zoning Commission
"If I'm not allowed
sewers to attract the
types of industry that I
and everybody else
would like to have,"
remarked Duksa, "then
I'll be forced to sell it to
businesses that don't
reqmre sewage usage "
The types of •ndustry
which
are
allowed
through zoning regulatmns and are not water
users would be the
construchon companies
and other businesses
which
are
large
practioners of outside
storage, claims Duksa
Such heavy industries
return low taxes on the
land and employ an
equally small .lob force
to maintain them. said
Duk•a. He added he has
already
been
approached by a used tire
collector who expressed
an interest m purchasing some of his property
for h•s business
"I don't want to see
th•s type of 'ugly •ndustry come to my
front porch," commented Duksa. "but the
town •s forcing me to
sell to these kinds of
people.
"And once one type of
industry moves in,"
said Duksa, "the whole
120 acres will go the
same way "
Duksa, in his own admission, is holding off
selling his property to I2 industries in hopes
that sewage will come to
his area But he claims
he can't wait forever.
What will depend during
th•s long, hot summer is
whether Duksa's land
will become part of a
blemished,
uncomely
storage area used by
companies or an attractive,
plush
industrial park

Where's the Code?
On June 14. 1976. Town Council Chairman J Robert Britton
appointed a five-man Ethms Committee to develop a Code of
Ethics for the Town of Southmgton
On May 2. 1977. after almost one year of study and hearings
the Ethws Committee completed the Code of Ethics which •ncluded a separate Board of Ethics with the power to lnveshgate complaints against any town official -- elected or
appointed -- and an.v town employee
That Code. plus an almost •dentmal Code. but without the
Board of Ethics. was then sent to the Town Council
On May 23. 1977. after a delay due to town and school
budget sessmns, the Committee formally presented its Code
o• Ethics -- w•th a Board of Ethics -- to the Town Council for
tts approval
That same evening the Code was given to Assistant Town
Attorney R•chard M Krezel for his review of any possible
confltcts between the Code's enforcement powers and the
To•n Charter and state laws
On June 13. 1977 Attorney Krezel dehvered an interim
report on the proposed Code and •ts Board of Ethics Krezel

YOUR LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
'Once In A While Tales From
Past Are Changed As They
Are Told Through the Years'
To the Editor,
I have come across
still more information
concerning my story
about the "walking contest"
held
in
South•ngton
many
years ago The artJcle
appeared in The Observer on June 30
A lovely lady (Mrs
Hugo Zanke on the
Meriden-Waterbury
Rdl explained to me
that there were two
Wright Brothers. Will
Wright was her brotherin-law and he was a fine
family man It was his
brother, Ernest, who
was the woodsman and
well-known walker And
•t was Ernest who had
the famed "walking
contest" to Plainville
and back.
This lady felt the
readers should know
about this and I agree
with her
Once in a while tales
from the past are
changed as they are told
through the years by
various people I seldom
run into this, however,
the walking contest is a
case in point
What has impressed
me is that Southington
has people who care
When a person takes the
time to correct a story,
the result is that future
generahons will hear it
the way it really happened They say people
today don't become in-
volved and don't care
Perhaps
in
some
locations this is true.
Not in Southington! For
this reason, our heritage
will remain in its true
form for future residents
Aren't you glad you
live here• I am
Towns need colorful
characters like Ernest
Wmght They also need
the quiet, hard-working.
sober family men like
Will Wright
Proof once again that
Southlngton has always
been "special " And it
shll is!
Sincerely.

Mr

issued,
I•n
January 1977). a report
on short and long term
housing needs, based on
these same projection
figures In his report
Mr Pyne stated, "We
are
expecting
the
enrollment increase at
the senior high school
level to peak in 1978-79 "
SCITE questioned th•
basis for this assumption
in
view
of
Southington's continued
growth and availability
of undeveloped land
However. school of
ficials have stood firm
on their "peak. stabilize

In March 1977, I asked
for public involvement

established by
the

SCITE
has
repeatedly asked that
the public be kept informed of the situation
Despite these requests
and the fact that no updated
enrollment
projections have been
issued since January,
the school site committee of the Board of
Education is reporte.dly
considering a "prime

the results do give an indication of where our

which certainly indicates a high deg.ree of

The survey was conducted on June 4, by
volunteers in 35 of the

responses to the 'opinionare' at the shopping

Snakebite Tips & Precautions...
The pubhcity given a
recent snakebite incident in town has focused
attention on the fact that
there are poisonous
snakes in this area Any
Southington native over
40 years of age will
testify to the fact that
both copperheads and
rattlesnakes
have
always been known inhabitants of the surrounding hills
We specify that age
because
most
encounters
with
the
venomous
creatures

during berry picking ex•edltions Long ago, our
lllsides abounded with
blueberries and raspberries, which tempted
young pickers anxious
to supply themselves, or
their households with
the goodies, or to supplement meager

method of treatment.

to first makea small cut

suck out the venom by

Today. the best known
treatment is to get the
victim to a hospital
emergency room as
soon as possible Treatment within a hour of
the incident is essential
to prevent permanent
damage if a full msection of venom has

It is interesting that m
studies conducted in
southern areas of the
country, where the
cidents of snakebite are
much more common, it
has been found that in
about 25% of the cases
no venom was inflicted

Authorities strongly
recommend
that
snakebite kits should be

high It should not be
used in first aid treatment.

treatment, if necessary
The
period
of
hospitalization will, of

severity of the bite and
the condition of the
patient
There is no absolutely
fool proof way to protect
yourself
from
snakebites but a few

precautions

At

For

homemaker who does
410 wash loads a year
€that'sright -- some 34 a
month IS average•, the
switch
from
hot
wash/warm nnse to
warm wash/cold rinse
will save about 7,100
gallons of hot water annually
Translating that into
dollars and cents, if you
heat water electrically
you could save up to $£5
a year on electricity
That's figuring the cost
at the projected national
average of 3 4¢ kwhr -which is considerably
below the going rate in
many areas, such as the
mld-Atlanhc states and
Florida
