My father used to quote his favorite line from Shakespeare, “This above all to thine own self be true.” It’s hard to keep up with the new technologies in sound recordings, it makes you wonder where it will all end. Charlie, Pete and Tony, moved to Boston and bought a condo near the art museum for $125.000 In July 1997, Braxton moved to Dallas, Texas. So many institutions of small-town America—the local drugstore, the corner theater, the locally owned bookstore – have gone the way of the cowboy…

Stewart. "I wanted to make sure that tradition continues." The moves came after the Yard Goats, formerly known as the Rock Cats, announced on June 2014 that they would be relocating themselves to Hartford. The team left behind unpaid utility bills of up to $150,000. According to the Hartford Courant, the team has not reimbursed the town for the gas, electricity, water and sewer bills it used up in its final season at New Britain. The bills due are as followed: $80,582.62 to Eversource,…

determination and blue symbolizes wisdom and intelligence. I was born as a primary color and I portray these individual characteristics that make up yellow, red and blue. Every action and decision in my life leads back to these colors. As a member of the New Hartford Marching Band, as well as other extra-curricular activities, stability and energy are clearly permanent aspects of my life. Practicing on every Tuesday and Thursday night as well as a whole day on Saturday, I have remained loyal to…

The primary focus of the model is to “Position police executives and their local…

Currently I attend Ben Bronz Academy in West Hartford Connecticut. This school has a rather small community with about thirty students. From a young age school had been a struggle for me, as I am dyslexic. Being dyslexic had always caused me to feel like I was fighting an uphill battle that knew no end. As a fifth grader I entered a new school, a school where students were to call their teachers by their first name, a school with classes called ‘decoding’ and ‘morphographs’, a school that was…

Good morning, I'm once again excited to share another positive outcome with one of our Putting on AIRS (POA) partners; Connecticut Children's Medical Center. Specifically in this instance with Chris Corcoran from Connecticut Children’s Healthy Homes Program. I'll acknowledge, it can at times be confusing for all of you to figure me out....and I'm not just referring to my role as POA Coordinator in 3 Regions (please no comments from the peanut gallery). Although, , once the confusion unravels,…

Why keep Millstone open? (Business Owner) According to the Hartford Courant (2017), Millstone gives Connecticut the opportunity to reduce high electric rates, meet carbon-reduction goals and ensure jobs for the state. Millstone should be kept open because of its benefits at the state and local level. Millstone produces electricity to power 2 million homes, supports 12,000 jobs in the region, and generates the equivalent of half the electricity used by Connecticut. In a study done by the NEI…

It is interesting we are discussing Tuberculosis (TB) since I work in a building which used to be an "Isolation Hospital" in the Hartford area. The morgue is less than a mile away, the tunnels running under my building were used to transport the infected dead to the crematorium. TB in residential facilities is very serious, part of the protocol before admission it to have had a TB test results along with your paperwork. Staff are to be tested for TB every year (for me this is a pain literally…

over the phone while I was at Marist College. He told me how he is stationed in St. Paul, Minnesota I was worried I had accidentally applied to the wrong internship location and put St. Paul instead of Hartford. It turned out that he would be working remotely from St. Paul and have me working in Hartford. Something unimaginable 50 years ago, someone managing a summer intern in Harford from St. Paul. However, the unimaginable became a reality and is working better than face-to-face communication…
