Green plumbing is an incoming technology, and local contractors, interested in working with this technology, are training at the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 777 training center on Murdock Avenue in Meriden. These are heat collectors which actually warm water or air for circulation, not photovoltaic cells which convert sunlight directly to electricity.
Bread For Life’s annual soup night held in Southington high school’s cafeteria this week. Bowls of soup sold to supporters raise cash to buy food for families who cannot afford it themselves.
We look forward to input today at a public hearing on Jackson Lab’s $291 loan proposal to build a genetics lab near the UConn Health Center in Farmington. There are some strong draws to this project, but many will need some convincing.
Yale has acquired a copy of a suppressed 1920 play by Eugene O’Neill (considered by many as the father of modern American drama). Despite occasional Connecticut resident O’Neill’s apparent intentions, copies survived and should provide plenty of matter for dramatic controversy over the playwright’s life and art for years to come.
While we certainly applaud the ambition and determination of students at Platt in Meriden in attending sessions for practice for the CAPT tests, to be administered in a few months, we find it appalling that this punitive and arbitrary test, which does almost nothing for individual students, has become the driving force in education. Don’t blame teachers or administrators, either; just work to repeal the darn No Child Left Behind law.
Governor Malloy’s task force examining the status of Connecticut’s vo-tech schools (including Wilcox in Meriden) has concluded they should remain under state authority rather than be handed over to municipalities. We heartily agree with this conclusion.
