Simsbury Volunteer Fire Co. Reminds Residents to Display House Numbers

House number visibility is vital for emergency responders.

Submitted by the Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company

This fall, the Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company would like for you to be sure that your house numbers are easily visible to all the emergency services in town. A vital piece of information is your location.

A Simsbury ordinance specifies that numbers not less than three inches high are placed in such a way that they are visible from the street. It is also helpful if the numbers are reflective so they are visible at night. By posting your home or business numbers you will be helping the emergency services help you without delay.

Try finding the numbers to your house at night, in a rainstorm, or when your shrubs and trees are in full bloom. Can you?

Putting your numbers up is easy, inexpensive and only takes a few minutes.

Why is it that on Memorial Day or Decoration Day as my seniors refer to in Simsbury people forRead More political reasons always give the honor of the Memorial Day address and allows politics and politiiocians o use a solemn day that all veterans recognize as sacred? I have witnessed these politicians who look upon Memorial Day as jollow and in most cases refuse to serve in the Armed Forces and tookl the easy road of derferment after deferment? Over the years plaques, awards in my opinion have been bestowed on oficials who have done very little if anything to honor veterans, less than a decade ago these same elected officials closed the State Veterans Hospital at Rocky Hill thus taking away services needed by returning state veterans. Time and time again this state's politicians , particularly legislators, have taken away benefits deserved and awarded by a grateful state and nation. Case in point, the Soldiers, Sailors, Marine and Air Foprce Fund was taken away partially and put into the State of Connecticut's Geneeral Fund. Prison beds disgarded by the Department of Corrections were given to the Roky Hill Veterans Home and Hospital. I can present fact after fact showing the neglect and uncaring attitude towards the state's veterans budget which legislatores have been remiss in providing care to veterans as was promised. Why Simsbury's legislators are chosen to have the honor which they do not disserve? There is a bill before the State Legislatue that wants to stop the State Soldiers and Sailors and Marines fund being proposed by the Democratically controlled State Legislature. It seems that the Simsbury's lMemorial Day parades in past years have turned into ,meet. greet amd handshake that Simsubury's politicians use to further their political ambitions and garner votes which to the credit of a previous American Legion Commander who spoke out against political politicians who while marching break ranks to garner votes.Please allow my brothers and sisters veteans to honor our comrades who have made the supreme sacrifice and keep this State of ours above politics as ususial in Simsbury.

The article says it provides information about "various ways" the community can helpRead More teachers. However, it provides information only about the Staples discount program. The link takes you to a Staples website, not to a list of ways communities are helping. In addition, statistics given are national, not relating to Simsbury, or even Connecticut. This seems like a canned article designed to promote Staples. Was it written and submitted by that retailer?
