Southington’s Parking Authority voted 3 to 2 to set aside up to 20 parking spaces in municipal lots for overnight parking for residential tenants of downtown apartments. There’s some controversy over this policy and some concern over clearing these areas during winter snows, and policies need to be clarified further.
There were reports of New England schools which didn’t let out until this year due to a) the rule requiring 180 days of school each year and b) snow days. One way of eliminating much of this problem, which is perennial as well as annual, is to reduce the number of casual one-day holidays (which begin, unfortunately, with Labor Day, often in the first week of school) and which can only serve to distract from a weekly routine and interrupt educational processes to very little purpose in our society.
TEAM, or Teacher Education And Mentoring, which pairs first and second year teachers in Wallingford with veterans who mentor them through some of the rough spots. It can make a huge difference in professional growth.
Meriden’s 22nd Black Expo which drew many hundreds of people to City Park on Saturday morning for music, dancing, food and a general good time. It is a tradition which brings forth a lot of smiles.
