Meriden’s Factory H of International Silver Company will soon disappear, as bids for demolition are expected soon. Public hearings are involved as well, since grant money is involved, but we look forward to being able to move forward with this long-abused property.
Following a presentation by the Board of Parks Commissioners, Southington’s Town Council established a committee to consider an artificial turf field for the high school. This may not be an expense anyone is particularly eager to take on, but it is the wave of the present.
Rents are going up for some Meriden Housing Authority units, but tenants won’t bear the burden since their rents are limited to 30 percent of income. Counterintuitive, but if it works, so much the better.
Wallingford’s Energy Conservation Commission is finishing a report on the use of power in public buildings. Armed with this information, it should be possible to lower costs and use utilities more efficiently.
While Cheshire’s Community Pool is scheduled to close Oct. 15 and won’t reopen until a new bubble and blower have been installed, at least there’s light at the end of the tunnel. It’s too bad there’s a gap in this resource, but it’s good it will be remedied.
Seems to us that if a uniform is deemed acceptable for girls to perform cheerleading in at games and appropriate demonstrations of “Panther Pride” for Meriden’s Platt High School, it ought to be as acceptable in the classroom as any other team uniform is. If there’s truly a problem with the skirts, change the uniform.
