Change Your Clocks; Change Your Smoke Detector Batteries
Manchester Fire-Rescue-EMS Department is urging citizens to change the batteries in their smoke alarms when they change their clocks (fall back) on November 1, 2009. It is a local requirement to have working smoke alarms on every level in a home and outside all sleeping areas. Only working smoke detectors can alert people to fire and give them the precious seconds they need to safely escape a fire inside the home. In many fatal home fires, the smoke alarms have not worked, often because the batteries are dead, disconnected or missing. Smoke alarms are essential to detecting smoke in the early stages of fire. Many people are alive today because they were alerted by their smoke alarms. Smoke alarms should be tested monthly and replaced if they are more than ten years old.

As with many communities, Manchester struggles with how to deal with the many challenges facing our youth. families and neighborhoods. Alienated
youth, older disconnected neighborhoods and families living in poverty stress our resources. Traditional approaches to "fixing " the problems just don't seem to work. The Manchester Children, Youth and Family Master Plan offers a positive way to deal with these issues and help our youth and families thrive.
Mr. Silver explains why and how the plan was developed and how a pilot project will be implemented in the Southeast Quadrant of Manchester (the area between Main, Center and E.
Middle Turnpike, the Bolton town line and the Glastonbury town line). Learn about the major components of the plan such as the Neighborhood College, the Youth College, Neighborhood Quadrants and thriving indicators. It's an
extensive plan with high expectations. It will be challenging but rewarding for the community to implement it successfully. Tune in to find out how
Director Silver will put it into action.

As with many communities, Manchester struggles with how to deal with the many challenges facing our youth. families and neighborhoods. Alienated
youth, older disconnected neighborhoods and families living in poverty stress our resources. Traditional approaches to "fixing " the problems just don't seem to work. The Manchester Children, Youth and Family Master Plan offers a positive way to deal with these issues and help our youth and families thrive.
Mr. Silver explains why and how the plan was developed and how a pilot project will be implemented in the Southeast Quadrant of Manchester (the area between Main, Center and E.
Middle Turnpike, the Bolton town line and the Glastonbury town line). Learn about the major components of the plan such as the Neighborhood College, the Youth College, Neighborhood Quadrants and thriving indicators. It's an
extensive plan with high expectations. It will be challenging but rewarding for the community to implement it successfully. Tune in to find out how
Director Silver will put it into action.

SBM Charitable Foundation Auditorium
Description:
MCC Fall 2009 International Film Series continues on November 20 at 7:00 pm in the SBM Charitable Foundation Auditorium with The Window (Argentina/Spain). It is a significant day for 80-year-old Antonio. After an absence of many years, his estranged son is coming to visit. Everything must be perfect. There will be a toast with very special champagne, an embrace, and warm words that may finally bridge the gap between them. But before, Antonio must wait. Bedridden, he looks out his window at the Patagonian landscape and sees light and life, the past and the present, while sensing the future. He decides to secretly leave the house, unseen by his faithful caretakers, to take what might be a last walk in his fields, breathing the air, treading the earth, inhaling the scent of the land that had been his life. What could otherwise seem like insignificant memories or moments in one’s life takes a special, beautiful meaning and weight in this poetic, humanistic film.
There will be a brief discussion along with dessert after each film. Free Admission and open to the public. Contact either Evelyn Angry-Smith (512-2874) or Bob Kagan (512-2687) with questions or go to

The CLCC is a 501(c)3 non-profit seeking to develop a residential facility with vocational services for adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. The organization will use a farmstead model in Eastern Connecticut.
The CLCC has already received two grants, one for a needs assessment, and the second to fund a greenhouse, to be built on a 5-acre parcel of land that will also be used for farming. Negotiations for the land are in progress.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has just released new estimates for the occurrence of autism: now 1 in 91 children, up from 1 in 150 children in 2007. As children “age out” of a system providing education and support when they turn 21, their needs could well overwhelm health care and other services. The CLCC is a proactive organization designed to address the future.
