Despite budget cuts, the arts programs thrive, with notable achievements such as top positions in the state competitive marching circuit and upcoming district-wide art exhibits. They emphasize the value of arts in fostering well-rounded students, reducing chronic absenteeism, and promoting community engagement. Both teachers, with long tenures in Meriden, highlight the diverse, supportive environment and the rewarding experience of working with dedicated students.

Kathy Kogut from Kogut Tree Farm discussed the farm's operations and Christmas tree sales. The farm, named Hemlock Hill, has been in operation since the 1980s. Most of their trees are Fraser firs, which take 10 years to grow and are known for their needle retention. The farm, located in Meriden, Connecticut, allows customers to cut their own trees, with about 200-250 trees available each year. Kathy emphasized the importance of keeping the trees hydrated to prevent fire hazards. The farm also won the Big E competition and the Durham Fair competition. Kathy's son, who is retiring from the police, will join the farm to sell trees.

Brian praised the authentic Mexican breakfast served, including chilaquiles and empanadas. George, helps out at Frida's on weekends.

Couch to Coached – AWARD-WINNING Running PodcastThis week's episode is a perfect blend of humour, hard-earned lessons, and muddy mile-after-mile storytelling. Rob, Ben and Emma kick things off with a playful debate about pop culture legends—yes, including the “Walrus of Love” Barry White—before diving headfirst into an unexpectedly heated conversation about mince pies. With a brand-new competition tied to their recent podcast awards announcement, the episode quickly picks up energy and momentum.From there, the conversation spans the trio's latest endurance adventures: triathlon prep, the realities of swimming lessons as an adult, and the ever-evolving goals that shape their training. As they reflect on personal progress, they also explore the challenges of balancing ambition with practicality—especially when it comes to investing in gear, managing FOMO, and staying smart about race choices.The episode then shifts to the mud-soaked chaos of a recent cross-country event and the unforgettable Escape from Meriden challenge. With wild weather, slippery trails, ditches, questionable food choices (Greggs, anyone?), and moments of pure exhaustion, Emma and Ben give a raw and entertaining account of what it takes to keep moving when conditions go sideways. Through laughter, setbacks, and even a “nappuccino,” they show how camaraderie and community make the toughest days memorable.As things wind down, the hosts discuss the importance of recovery, sports massage, mental resilience, and setting meaningful, realistic goals. From marathon and ultra plans to process-driven SMART goals, they dig into how to build a training journey that's sustainable, motivating, and tailored to real life. With plenty of friendly accountability and encouragement, the episode offers guidance for anyone looking to challenge themselves—without getting swept up in FOMO-fuelled decision-making.Whether you're here for running chat, triathlon talk, or simply the joy of hearing people fall into ditches and call it “good content,” this episode brings inspiration, entertainment, and a genuine sense of community.HighlightsBarry White confusion and mince pie debatesExciting award updates and podcast competitionTriathlon ambitions, swimming lessons, and building confidenceCross-country chaos and unpredictable weatherMuddy racing stories and real-time resilienceThe Escape from Meriden: support, setbacks, and surprising challengesThe impact of food choices (hello, Greggs) on performanceHitting milestones, celebrating wins, and dealing with shocksPost-race recovery, sports massage, and long-term healthSMART goals, race planning, and avoiding FOMOCommunity support and accountability in trainingRemember to follow us on Instagram, subscribe on YouTube, and watch us LIVE every Monday.Couch to Coached also has a Strava run club — just search for Couch to Coached on Strava.

Meriden is shutting down its volunteer fire department in December. The city announced a shortage of workers and money to fund the program led to the decision to shut down the department after more than 100 years of service. Is this the beginning of a horrible trend: mass closures of volunteer departments in the state? If so, what is the state doing about this problem? We asked Comptroller Sean Scanlon.  Image Credit: Getty Images

0:00:00 Introduction Richard Saunders 00:03:22 Randi Restored 45 years ago, James Randi flew to Australia at the invitation of Dick Smith. He came to test a score of water diviners in Australia's first major investigation of these claims. The resulting documentary, "James Randi in Australia" was shown on Australian TV and then lost forever. Luckily it was recorded onto video tape via a VCR at the time and this version has now been restored to its former glory. http://www.tinyurl.com/randiaustralia 0:23:32 Australian Skeptics Newsletter What skeptical news has caught the eye of Tim Mendham this week?

Picture it, Boston, 1995. A young man from Meriden, CT decides to uproot his life and move to a new city. New faces, new friends, and plenty of new music.It has been 30 years since I made the fateful decision to make the move to Boston. It was also a time to expand my musical palette. Thankfully, there was plenty of new music to choose from, with tons of second hand music shops like CD Spins, interspersed with the big retailers like Tower Records.Much of the music on the radio at the time was not for me (except TLC!), but thanfully there were rock friendly radio stations in the city, as well as some of the best clubs to see live music. TT the Bears and The Middle East come to mind. Acts that would go on to become huge stars got their big breaks in 1995, while smaller indie, punk, and metal bands were just reaching their loftiest heights. Bands like Shelter and Jawbreaker achieved their biggest commercial successes, while bands like Rancid and Presidents of the United States of America were getting some air time on radio stations like WBCN and WAAF.Plus, legends like Faith No More, Radiohead and Fugazi added to their legacies in 1995. Oh, and some band called Oasis had a huge record or something.And everyone was asking the question, "What is a Foo Fighter"?

People don't choose darkness. We are born in darkness and separated from the Light of Christ. People choose to remain in darkness, and this choice is often connected to what they do in darkness. When we choose the Light, we must be willing to expose our works to the Light. For many, this is not an option, and so they remain in the darkness. Join us today at 11 AM as Pastor Russ continues his series in Romans 3:1-20.

This week on CounterSpin: News site Popular Information alerted us to new Social Security Administration policy effectively requiring tens of thousands of recipients, by the agency's own estimation, to travel to a field office to verify their ID. An internal memo predicts the shift will create “service disruption,” “operational strain,” and “budget shortfalls” — unsurprising, given concurrent staffing cuts and field office closures. The inevitable harms will no doubt be declared part of a necessary attempt to purge “fraud” from the system that has disbursed earned benefits to elderly and disabled people for generations. Journalists have choices. They can, as did the Record-Journal of Meriden, Connecticut, report that the cuts derive from repeated claims of fraud from Elon Musk that are “without evidence,” that Trump echoes Musk's “unfounded statements,” and then quote a retiree advocate noting that accusations of loads of dead folks collecting benefits are “baseless,” and put the words “fact sheet” in appropriate irony quotes when describing a missive from the White House. Or you can go the route of the Arizona Republic, and lead with the notion that the interference in Social Security is most importantly part of Musk's “implementing … measures to trim costs throughout the government.” Mention that the actions have “stirred a range of emotions, from cautious hope that the federal government might finally bring its deficit spending under control, to frantic fears that benefit cuts could undermine the financial or health security of millions of Americans” go on to ask, earnestly, “Where does Trump stand on Social Security and other benefits?” and begin with a White House statement “reiterating that the president supports these programs.” In paragraph 19, you might throw in that public polling shows that “most Americans would favor revenue increases rather than benefit cuts to Social Security,” which would include “requiring high-income individuals to pay taxes on more of their earnings.” In short, easily verified facts, along with “most Americans,” can be centered or tangential in your reporting on the drastic, opaque changes aimed at the program that keeps the wolf from the door for millions of people but for Musk/Trump represents yet another pile of money they feel belongs to them and theirs. All that's in the balance are human lives and health, and the ability of working people to plan for our futures. We'll talk about the new, yet also old, attacks on Social Security with Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works. Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at recent media coverage of Mahmoud Khalil, deportations and the FTC.   The post Nancy Altman on Social Security Attacks appeared first on KPFA.

A man from Meriden was arrested, after it was discovered he lied about having cancer, to take money from multiple women.
