Near the intersection of Amity and Valley Roads, we are relieved not to hear any sirens tonight. Wind is picking up, though. And remember, Nemo was the captain of the Nautilus, twenty thousand leagues under the sea... What is he doing so far inland?
Nemo in Bethany, around 4:30 pm

Great to see Bethany residents converting to solar power!
The article above mentions the cuts to…Read More CEFIA that were temporarily inserted in the CT budget, threatening the solar rebates, but I am happy to say that funding has been restored in the final version of the budget.
For those interested in a solar electric system with ALL US-MADE MATERIALS, our company Made In USA Solar LLC, based in Oxford CT, is ready to match the prices of the import-dealers AND provide the finest installation workmanship.

A disgrace to the children of our community - INDEED! I completely understand this is "a"…Read More situation and was not expected and is being taken care off in the best possible way. However, i just dont get why it took so long to address the root cause of this situation. What does it take for the town, it's admisnistration to value the need for better facilities for our children. Why does it become such a daunting task when all of the assesments have come back suggesting the need to move the kids out of the annex buildings? Wake up town of Bethany, it is in our hands to provide our kids with better infrastructure. We should have done it yesterday, when the building commitee brings forth it's recommendations, it is our turn to di it RIGHT!

Heather, thank you for posting this article. My child's classroom is the one pictured above.…Read More Everything you have stated is correct. Our children are basically walking on dried toilet water. The administration has a good heart but not a good response. They do the 'bear minimum' for the annex kids who have to deal with the daily torture of their environment.

Heather,
VERY well-stated. You hit the nail on the head! These annex buildings ARE a disgrace.…Read More They provide neither a healthy environment nor a secure environment for the students and teachers. Whether the Town decides to build another addition to the school or to utilize space at the Middle School (and I'm not so sure that's a great idea), something needs to be done as quickly as possible. If we can afford to replace our old Amity Rd. firehouse with a beautiful, modern edifice, we can afford to do the right thing for the kids.
