CT Valley Views Receives State Grant

CT Valley Views Receives State Grant

CT Valley Views has received a State of Connecticut Public, Educational and Governmental Programming and Educational Technology Investment Account (PEGPETIA) Grant to purchase state of the art video and audio equipment.  Program Host, Susan Regan notes that this award further validates the diversity and value of their Public Access show series and the contribution to Connecticut and its communities. CTVV has recently received two national video awards for program quality: “Evil in Our Midst-Child Trafficking” and “Hill-Stead Museum - The Legacy”.

According to Producer Bill Regan, the new High Definition widescreen cameras, teleprompter and wireless audio will significantly add to the production quality of the upcoming program schedule.  “Having this equipment readily available will enable us to schedule events as they happen and book interviews on our timetable”.

Both Susan and Bill Regan wish to thank the six Public Access stations that carry CT Valley Views-Cox Enfield, Win-TV, Simsbury, Nutmeg, West Hartford and Hartford, as well as premier sponsor Windsor Federal Savings. “It is through their support that our program reached the level of success it has thus far”.

CT Valley Views can be seen on Cox Public Access Channel 15, Fridays at 6:00 PM an at their website www.ctvalleyviews.com .

The problem is resurfacing all the roads in Suffield would cost a great deal of money. Suffield is aRead More big town. I do understand that some roads in Suffield do not have enough adjacent suitable land to create a separate bike lane, but I believe bike lanes could be constructed along sections of some scenic roads. Half a loaf is better than none at all. Salvatore, if you have not already been there, you may want to consider cycling on the island of Nantucket. I have not been there in years, but outside of its main town, Nantucket did offer good riding conditions and peaceful surroundings--at least when I visited.

Thank you for your comment. Actually, I was simply suggesting that roads are resurfaced. There isn'tRead More probably enough room for bike lanes on most of these backroads, but if at least the pavement was brought to an acceptable condition, that would make biking much more pleasant (I should say "possible") and, let's not forget, much safer. Some particularly damaged areas represent a serious danger to bikers' safety.

There may be a solution--a compromise of sorts. Put a narrow, but well-maintained bike lane on largeRead More sections of each scenic road in town, the roads with fewer cars and trucks. Just having the bike lanes may be draw for out-of-town cyclists to visit Suffield and spend money at local businesses. Instead of attempting to change Suffield into a metropolitan area, with all the problems that brings, celebrate (and financially support) its original identity--a scenic, peaceful agricultural town with some nice amenities.
