Letter To The Editor: TEACH event a success

Thank you to all the sponsors of the event.

 

To The Editor:
 
On Saturday October 27 the Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team (C.A.R.T.) in conjunction with the Berlin Police and Fire Departments, and the Berlin High School, held its third annual T.E.A.C.H. event (Teen Education for Advanced Car Handling).

This event was held on the property of Corbin Russwin and was supported by following businesses: Connecticut Chimney & Vent, The Drain Doctor, Connecticut Tire, Central Pizza, and especially Mr. Bob Read, driving instructor at Berlin High School.

This event was also supported by Mohegan Sun Casino, with a donation of the use of their facility allowing C.A.R.T. to hold two (2) fundraising Autocross events there, and The Vietnam Veterans Organization also made a very generous monetary donation.

The T.E.A.C.H. event was a huge success and I would like to thank all of the volunteers from C.A.R.T. and the businesses listed above for their support.  Without the support of everyone involved, whether it be monetary, goods and services, or the use of their property, this event could not happen. And a big thank you to the students for attending this valuable experience. Youth is our greatest asset and we need to make sure to help protect the next generation.  Once again thank you to everyone involved.

very sad indeed; so who is to blame for not teaching them? it is no wonder that the sat scores inRead More the DRG for Berlin and other townships are what they are....mediocre; at this comes right from the State of CT educational tracking stats a very telling article in Connecticut Magazine as well! the magnet schools are kicking the proverbial scholastic butts of the public school system. for less pay as well....so, the relationship of salary increases to all around better education;...well, all i can say is.....

Berlin teachers' median annual salary is nearly $80,000, plus family medical benefits costing overRead More $20,000, plus the ability to retire at 55 years of age with summers off, winter and spring vacations, and virtually ever holiday known to man and woman, and a work day at the high school ending mid afternoon: not bad. Perhaps teachers salaries have little, if any, correlation to quality of education...huh?

How about signing my petition? I'd be happy to return the favor.

Bill, you are correct on the motor vehicle laws an what should happen to drivers who break it.Read More There is also no law that people should eat food, but if they don't they will die.
John Elsworth June 10, 2013 at 01:57 pm
Bill, pushed wrong button an send comment off before I was finished. My point is everyone has toRead More use common sense in all situations an that includes parents on teaching there children as well as motorists. There will always be motorists who disobey the law an that is why parents must teach there kids about how to be safe an sound an not just say well there are laws on that. Make kids aware that accidents can happen an motorists speed an just be careful.

Of course. But drivers need to obey the laws. If they don't, enforce the laws and make them payRead More the consequences of their actions: fines and civil lawsuits and higher insurance rates; loss of license;, prison for hitting a child.

Name calling? Progressives? What next? Pinko Commie? I thought obeying the law, driving slow,Read More loving family and children were conservative values?
chris choinski June 9, 2013 at 06:38 pm
ok, first i would like to apologize for going a little nuts, i was a little worked up last night.Read More again, i apologize. but i dont believe i called you any names, i did however refer to the word assume, which you did when you said people like me speed. one speeding ticket in 13 years of driving (when i was younger). and you are correct, loving family and children are values i have, thats why i try to take the responsibility of protecting them, and not leaving their protection up to someone else (speeders in this case). but i guess that liberals/sheep, wouldnt know about that, wanting and thinking that the govt or someone else will be there to protect them. like i said in the other comment section, dont rely on others for your or others safety, rely on yourself.
