Meriden, Wallingford, Southington, and Cheshire: all area towns have experienced plenty of snow days, whole or partial, resulting in kids getting only about ¾ of scheduled hours of school for January. If this goes on through February – and who knows what the North Atlantic Oscillation will bring – the educational consequences and the scheduling issues could become difficult to handle.

The Connecticut Community Providers Association is making the case for steady and secure funding for non-profits. This is something which has been sought for many years without much luck.

Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals has given a grant to the Wallingford homeless shelter. This will enable the part-time social worker to continue his job there and to provide the help for those who reside at the facility.
