“Function, not frills” may be the watch cry for some in Southington who are concerned about the terrifying cost of renovating both middle schools “like new.” But if there’s ever to be a thought of year round school – get ready! – that’s impossible in most existing schools, which not only lack air conditioning but often have non-opening windows.
We are sorry to read about the evident distress of Meriden's Carabetta Enterprises, Inc. in investigation and seizure by federal investigators. It’s hard not to be concerned at a government action of this kind which occurs without any formal declaration of what is happening and why.
Can it really be true that there are residential properties in downtown Southington without parking spots of any kind, where tenants have been used to using a few spaces in town-owned lots, and where some people would really try to end overnight parking? It’s fine to say that people should have realized the issue before they bought the real estate, but actually enforcing such a rule seems kind of hard line.
Scientists are extremely unlikely ever to be able to blame a particular weather event on global warming, human-caused or otherwise, just as no one can blame a particular cigarette for a case of lung cancer. But it’s hardly being evasive to observe scientific realities in discussing phenomena of such a kind.
One furlough day for Meriden teachers works out to four teaching positions which can be filled or saved. You have to think this is a good idea all around in terms of education.
Meriden police are preparing to expand public access on-line to police activities and records as well as allowing officers to operate with computer efficiency in vehicles. This has got to be a plus for the department and the community.
The National Red Cross is being rather silent for a charity which relies on local good will, which it forfeited in a significant way by closing the Meriden-Wallingford branch as part of a consolidation process shortly after major local contribution had renovated the offices. It should not take so long for an emergency response agency to respond to its benefactors.
Congratulations to all the valedictorians of local high schools whose hopes and dreams have been revealed in the profiles which have been appearing in the Record-Journal.
