Lester Elementary School in Florence celebrates Grandparents Day

Lessie and William Snead were visiting from out of town and were able to enjoy lunch with their granddaughter Ansley. “This is her first time (at Lester),” Lessie said. “It is also our first time being separated from her in almost seven years. It was nice to be able to come today.” More than a few grandparents visited multiple students for lunch. Some kids had parents visit instead of grandparents. While they were happy to celebrate the special day, not all of the students were as excited to leave their visitors and return to their schoolwork. Lily Hefner had lunch with her grandparents Billy and Linda and shed a few tears when it was time to go. “We were not expecting that,” Linda said. (SCNow)

Licking County's buildings to be evaluated for security

Administrator Tim Hansley. The county could address possible security changes in 2016 or 2017, he said. Fairfield County also has a county security committee reviewing and analyzing building security, but no specific changes are planned at this time, said county Administrator Carri Brown. In Pickaway County, county buildings are open to the public without any obvious security measures, said county Administrator Brad Lutz. He said officials who work in those buildings haven’t expressed any desire for increased security. Last month, the Ohio Statehouse installed metal detectors and implemented a ban on backpacks in an effort to make the building as secure as possible. “It’s hard because this is also a building where people come and vote, pay their taxes, come to the planning office,” Bubb said of the county administration building. “Do you shake down everybody that comes in and make them go through security like TSA?” The cost of additional security can’t be determined until the county decides what fits its needs, but it could range from $10,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars, Grady said. The cost could be covered with discretionary funds from the 911 center budget or requested as supplemental funding, if necessary, he said.

North Branford Small Business Spotlight: Candi's Floral Creations

Some of my clients include 50cent, actress Brooke Tansley, and daughter of famous Connecticut lawyer John Haymond.I feel like I have a NYC resume but am located in a small farm town, which I love, but may be the biggest challenge as I am not located on Main Street, CT. Therefore I have to really work hard to attract the right clientele. I would say that most of my clients live out of state and come back home to CT to get married or are from Fairfield County.I am the preferred florist at local venues such as Madison Beach Hotel, New Haven Lawn Club, Saybrook Point Inn and Guilford Yacht Club and far away venues Saltwater Farm Vineyard and The Inn at Longshore.How does your business give back or get involved in the community?I try to engage in the community by donating to the high school, garden club, etc.Would you like to see your small business showcased in this series?
