Good thinking and hard work on the part of Susan Maffe, Meriden schools’ food services director. With Irene bearing down on the city and a $50,000 load of food arriving just in time to meet possible power outages, she secured a refriverated truck which kept all that food cold and safe until the power emergency was over.
Our sympathy to State Sen. Len Fasano whose Silver Sands Beach Club in East Haven was severely damaged by Irene. We hope he can put the pieces back together again.
Connecticut residents had a fine chance to see the stars in the clear dark skies following the departure of Irene. Such formerly familiar features such as the Milky Way was pronouncedly visible especially due to the absence of electric power in so much of the state.
Columbia University Teachers College has had a partnership with the Southington school system: consultants and teachers come into elementary schools twice a year to mentor faculty on reading and writing techniques and strategies. What an excellent idea and a fine resource.
