Region: Falling gas prices . . . and other commodities. The numbers seem excellent (even if temporary) for American consumers. But there’s a price here: in a number of nations which depend on the export sales of agricultural products or raw materials to support economies, falling futures can mean literally that!
Meriden: Tom Grimshaw’s hobby should be appreciated. Reading and understanding both the Bible and the Quran (or either one of them) are activities to be urged, not necessarily for reasons of faith but for reasons of civil and foreign policy. For the faithful, reading the word is a way to reinforce belief; for those merely curious and concerned, it’s the best way to understand other people’s system of life.
Wallingford: St. John the Evangelist Church has patchy, bumpy, asphalt sidewalks, but won’t see new ones for another three years. This is for laying asphalt? Town Engineer John Thompson says “call the mayor.” Well, okay!
Southington: the use of the old Drive-in for storage of the contaminated soil is logical, I guess, since no one has suggested it should have been placed elsewhere. There’s been a gas line buried across the land as well, with excavation remains. No surprises: it’ll be 4 years next spring since the town bought the land. It’s one of the facts of public works. Without a big emergency, things move very slowly.
