Meriden's New Life Church’s potential deal to purchase MountainRidge, formerly Mountainside, is an interesting proposition and could create a unique facility in town. This plus a downtown food and clothing ministry shows a highly active congregation.
Demolition of Factory H in Meriden has begun, at least in a symbolic way with ribbon cutting and so on. The next few weeks will see work begin, and by the time this job is done, there will be new vistas in this part of the city.
All of Meriden will have full-day kindergarten, thanks to council approval. We’ve come a ways: first time this topic was mentioned, it had almost no support.
Southington school chief Erardi is on the right tack in suggesting that kids spend Veterans’ Day in school working on material which honors vets and the wars in which they fought and the reasons these wars were fought. If all can agree, this would tend to put meaning back into a national day.
Congratulations to Ed “Spaghetti” Siebert, whose new volume on Meriden has just been published. It includes much positive information about the community and is a good read, too.
Well, it’s always nice to know one did the right thing. A testimonial dinner for Wallingford’s mayor was set for winter 2010 raised some concerns and was cancelled, which now the state Elections Commission has determined was the correct decision.
