There’s no question that Easter Seals Goodwill Industries does good work with disabled residents in Wallingford and elsewhere. The clients work with job coaches, who help them with tasks and oversee their efforts, and to find work which helps them live the highest quality lives they can.
As the gates and warnings issued by those concerned with safety on Meriden’s trap rock ridges have demonstrated, disregarding basic safety when hiking or walking, can lead to injury or even death. That said, and recognizing the simple fact that none of the trails on any trail in Meriden, Wallingford, Middlefield, Berlin or Southington is the least dangerous to anyone walking soberly on them, there will, nonetheless, always be those who proceed with disregard for those rules.
Southbury Training School, which has not accepted a new resident since 1985 and still is home to 425 retarded and now aging adults, remains subject to a long-lasting lawsuit. The state is approaching residents with possible transitions to off-campus life, but that can be a highly traumatic idea to folks who have had the institutional shelter for a quarter century or more; this is a situation which must be handled correctly and humanely.
Platt High School in Meriden has a conflict with cheerleader uniforms, deemed too short to meet dress code skirt lengths. Assuming that cheerleaders wear uniform dance shorts beneath their skirts, we see no reason why anything which can be worn when cheerleading and engaging in athletic display shouldn’t be suitable for classroom wear.
