The thunderstorms earlier in the week knocked out a huge number of power lines, leaving a lot of folks in Meriden and around the state without electricity for a good while. This sort of thing does happen, though – and if a temporary loss of power is the worst thing to happen to us, consider the alternatives!
Wallingford needs to raise the price of school lunches, bringing them into line with other towns, and that’s a reasonable move to take. We still don’t quite understand, though, why it seems to be needful to worry quite so much about the net cost: the purpose of lunch programs is not to make money but to provide food to kids who might otherwise go hungry or eat inadequately – it just isn’t about the bottom line.
The consequences of that horrible attack by a chimpanzee in Stamford 2½ years ago have extended now to a face transplant for the victim.
