Kataria Classic rolls into its sixth year By Sean Krofssik Record-Journal staff

Southington brothers Kunal and Rohan Kataria started the Kataria Classic as teenagers and their tennis tournament continues to grow entering its sixth year. Kunal and Rohan, now both college students at UConn, are both Southington High School gradates and have always pushed for a family atmosphere at their event each year.

day and will run through Sunday on the courts of Southington High School.

The fun has caught on as the event has drawn more than 100 players in the last three years. This year’s festivities were set to begin on Thurs-

“After the Kenny Hill Jr. Memorial Tournament ended, we wanted to play more tennis in the summer so we decided to start this tournament,” Rohan Kataria said. “As the years have gone on, we realized we can raise money for charities.” Hands of Hartford is the Katarias’ charity of choice this summer. The funds

raised at the tennis tournament with benefit the charity’s Backpack Nutrition Program. “We wanted a charity to help with social issues,” Rohan Kataria said. “With a small program like this in Hartford to help 229 kids, we feel we can make a difference. The charity gives an incentive to the players that their money makes a real difference. It makes it more tangible.” The goal for the brothers is

Town leaders and at least one business owner are pleased with plans for a major facelift and safety improvements for downtown Plantsville scheduled to begin next year.

Library leaders select firm The library board on Monday night unanimously chose a Farmington architectural firm to draw up plans for a new or renovated library.

Kunal, 22, and Rohan, 20, each have aspirations in education. Rohan is in his third year at UConn and is studying psychology. Kunal, in his fifth year, is going to be a teacher post graduation. Earlier in the summer, the duo assisted Matt Wayton and the Wayton Open, which runs about a month See Tennis, A2

to raise $2,500 for 300 backpacks for children in need.

The board recommended a contract with QA+M Architecture. The hire must be approved by the Town Council, which is scheduled to meet next week. A planning committee interviewed four See Library, A3

In addition to cosmetic changes, such as new lights and sidewalk pavers, the $2.75 million state project will adjust several roads in the downtown area, install bollards for pedestrians and widen sidewalks. On Aug. 1, the town’s public works committee had a public information meeting with Weston & Sampson planners, the firm designing the project. A South Main Street property owner, Michael Mordarski, was the only Plantsville property owner in atten-

dance. He’s been to all the planning meetings and said they were well attended. Business and property owners helped choose the styles of bollards, lights, and trash cans. The bollards will prevent sidewalk parking, a common though illegal occurrence in Plantsville. Mordarski, who owns commercial buildings, said he requested some street parking near his buildings. On-street parking has been important to some downtown business owners. “If (customers) can’t pull right up to it, they’re not going to stop,” he said. Mordarski was pleased with the overall design of the project, although at Thursday’s meeting he said he had trouble reaching the company currently working on water main replacement work.

Tennis From A1

“The tournament has grown each year, as has the competition,” Kunal Kataria said. “But we look at this as a family tennis tournament. That’s an important aspect of it.” “We have lunch for players and families at Southington High,” he added. “We have someone from our charity to speak about their cause. Everyone just has a good time. Most tournaments focus on competition. This is a good event to come to and relax and laugh.” Last year’s field of 128 was a record and the Katarias hope to eclipse that this year. The ages of the players range from 11 to 75 years old.

The tournament also features separate boys and girls divisions for players 18 and under.

Wayton Open. The exposure to that has helped us understand how to run a tennis tournament. Matt Wayton is a great friend and mentor for us.” The Katarias said they just want to help build the sport they love in the Southington area, however less than half of the field are Southington residents. The field features players from throughout central Connecticut.

“We have room to grow in some divisions, but others are capped,” Kunal Kataria said. The competition intensity turns up on Sunday when each of the champions are crowned. The brothers work well together, each has their own duties in preparation for the four days of action.

Kelleher said the company would have no problem coming up with a design in time for a November 2020 referendum.

Before beginning to work on designs, QA+M would review existing conditions and talk with fire officials about

Library leaders said they liked QA+M’s approach to addressing space and safety concerns with the existing library building on Main Street. With a tentative budget at about $10 million, library director Kristi Sadowski said it’s likely the current building will be incorporated into the new construction. Kelleher said QA+M’s team included a Southington resident. She felt they emphasized understanding the town’s needs the most.

existing fire code violations. The company will also conduct interviews with library leaders, staff and community members about what’s needed in the library.

The town budgeted $35,000 for the design work and all four companies interviewed came in just under that threshold.

“They were all selected (for interviews) because they had experience designing libraries,” she said. “Probably any of the four of them would qualify.”

Lisa Slonus, a project manager with Weston & Sampson, said sight lines for drivers are a concern in Plantsville. The downtown’s main intersection of West Main Street and Route 10 will be shifted for better visibility. There will also be more and better signs and flashing lights around the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail crossing at West Main Street. To slow traffic in the downtown, Slonus said there’ll be cobblestones lining portions of the road. While not actually narrowing the street, it sets it off visually from other roads and lets drivers know they’re entering an area with

Dawn Miceli, a town council and public works committee member, said that was especially important on West Main Street for cars heading into the downtown. “They’re coming off of (Interstate) 84. That’ll slow them down before they get to the trail head, which has been pretty precarious,” she said. Plantsville center safety and aesthetic improvements have been under consideration for a decade, according to John Barry, a Town Council member and public works committee chairman. The economic downturn and a lack of state funds stalled the project. It’s now being funded through state grants. “We certainly need an uplift to downtown Plantsville,” Barry said. jbuchanan@record-journal.com 203-317-2230 Twitter: @JBuchananRJ

enough money to put stuff in it,” Salerno said. “That’s where we come up short.” Through loans on the business, as well as on his own home, he said the gap has mostly been closed. “We’re just going all in,” he said. Salerno hopes to reopen in February. John Smigel, the town’s chief building official, said the builder has permits for the footings, foundation work and outer shell, including the roof. There haven’t been permit requests for the interior work yet. “They can do all the concrete work, they can put the whole building up,” he said. “That’ll take some time, anyway.”

Smigel will be on site daily or nearly so to inspect the concrete foundation and footings. The chance to rebuild allows Salerno to slightly reconfigure the store and modernize the interior. The rebuild allows for a better foyer, according to Salerno, and the reconfiguration of storage areas.

Tops Market is the last of Southington’s independent grocery stores. The fire prompted customers to raise money for its reopening. Salerno, who has been working as an Uber driver, as well as running the market’s catering business, hopes the construction will stay on schedule. “We’re doing this as quickly as possible,” he said. Salerno owns the business along with Betsy Tooker.

EDITORIAL

Preservation, conservation There are a number of ways to define “suburban sprawl,” which generally refers to the spread of housing developments and shopping centers into formerly rural areas, such as tract housing that springs up where there used to be a farm. One academic definition includes terms like “low-density” and “automobiledependent,” and notes that this has been a common form of development since World War II. Sprawl has certainly been the prevailing mode in many Connecticut towns, but Southington has recently taken a couple of small steps toward a different kind of development, and that’s an encouraging sign. Much postwar growth, in many

towns, took place with little or no planning, and many people would say they know suburban sprawl when they see it. All these years later, many towns, including Southington, have been buying up or accepting donations of open-space tracts in an effort to preserve some of the rustic charm of yesteryear that’s been lost. The Planning and Zoning Commission has unanimously approved a special permit and a site plan proposed by local developer Mark Lovley for a 15-unit, 55-and-over subdivision on South End Road. And earlier this year the commission approved an age-restricted cluster housing zone.

There is room for a pattern of development other than the array of single-family houses on large lots that we so often see. A cluster zone allows greater density for homebuyers looking to downsize. It uses less land per housing unit and also encourages retirees and empty-nesters to stay in town — while adding nothing to the town’s burden of providing schools for more growing families.

is also important in that Lovley’s plan would preserve the foundation of a barn that is believed to have been a site on the Underground Railroad, which transported people escaping slavery in the South to the North and on to Canada.

The South End Road development “I think is a case study or a great example of the type of development we should be having in town,” said commission member Robert Hammersley.

This is a win-win: A unique piece of local history will be preserved, and less undeveloped land will be lost.

According to local historians, before the Civil War Carlos Curtiss would hide slaves in the barn before they were moved on to Farmington.

COMMENTARY

Something about summer is bugging her By Diana Carr

Nobody loves summer more than I do. What’s not to love, right? Oh wait, I know of something not to love. These infernal bug bites. They just keep coming. All kinds of little beasties have, apparently, taken great delight in snacking on me. I must be one tasty morsel, indeed. Apparently all the teensy critters of the earth have put out the call that Diana Carr, of Durham, is offering herself up as a smorgasbord for teensy critter events, like weddings and picnics and bar mitzvahs. I’m pretty sure engraved invitations went out. Please RSVP. Feel free to bring a plus one. There is no open bar and no music. Oh, but some mighty fine eating, come one, come all. All have come. Obviously. I live in an almost constant state of itchiness. They’re sneaky little buggers, too. I never see them coming. So I never know just which critter has taken a bite out of me. Not that it matters. Itchy is itchy. But I’ve got bumps

all over my body the size of small mountains. I daresay some of them may be described as welts. No photos, please. I know scratching makes things worse, but I cannot contain myself. I scratch and scratch until I have taken at least the top two layers of skin off. I shouldn’t complain. The situation was much more grave when I lived in Georgia. They have mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds. The worst were the fire ants, and they were everywhere. I think the name gives you a pretty good idea of the suffering they inflicted. Even worse were the nosee’ums. Oh, but you sure felt them. Yankee that I am, I had no knowledge of these offenders, so I plunked

down one day on some moss, which, unbeknownst to me, was full of them. A rookie mistake. Suffice it to say things did not go well for me after that. These little marauders get under your skin and drive you to the brink of insanity with itching. Back to Connecticut, even here sometimes I feel something biting me, and I can’t see a thing. (I hope those no-see-‘ums didn’t follow me.) That’s the worst, because I can’t swat anything away. My attacker is invisible. Show yourself, you coward. The spiders are out in full force, but they don’t bother me. Except suspicious-looking ones that look like they’ll kill me in my sleep. They have to go. I do not intend to sleep with one eye open. I usually get my share of bee stings about now. They like to set up little villages under the lip of my pool, and always seem quite offended when I have the audacity to climb in – dive bombing

me, leaving me in a considerable amount of pain. Then I read that if you spray them with a mixture of dish detergent and water, they’ll fall to the ground, stunned. Problem solved. Although, I guess there’s a lot of loopy bees around now. Alright, my tirade is over, for now. I have some serious

“The lien does frighten some people, but people should take advantage of it,” Bowes said.

During its July 30 meeting, the committee also voted to recommend increasing the income limits for town tax relief programs. The state’s income limits for singles and couples is $43,900 and $36,000, respectively. Committee members set the town’s income limits at the

“That’s the balance. We expand income limits, we broaden the eligibility, we add disabled people. We’re giving out more now, but in exchange for that we have liens,” he said. Tony Morrison, a Board of Finance Republican, said seniors may be accustomed to liens through reverse mortgages. He also found the balance a good one. “It’s fair for both (seniors and taxpayers).

Taxes

LIBERTY BANK GRANT Liberty Bank Foundation is partnering with the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain in a program designed to build the capacity of nonprofits in the foundation’s service area of Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington. A $3,500 grant from Liberty will underwrite a subscription to the Foundation Center database, an online resource that provides information on thousands of foundations, corporate giving programs and other philanthropic funders. It enables nonprofits to search for funding sources whose interests align with a nonprofit’s focal areas in terms of program type, geography and target population. Pictured: David Obedzinski, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain, accepts a grant check for $3,500 from Sue Murphy, executive director of the Liberty Bank Foundation.

From A15

The committee is looking for Town Attorney Carolyn Futtner’s opinion on whether tax relief measures recommended July 30 and over the past few months must go to the Board of Finance as well as the Town Council. jbuchanan@record-journal.com 203-317-2230 Twitter: @JBuchananRJ
