I'm a Farmington resident and have been for 27 years. I attended Farmington schools (Union School, one year at East Farms before West Woods was built, IAR, and FHS), then transferred and graduated from the Master's School in West Simsbury.
My two kids attend West District and I'm sentimental about most everything in town. I think being familiar with Farmington and its recent past helps me to report the news but you're the ones who know best what's going on in your corner of town (Little League, FHS clubs, the Zoning Board of Appeals or Woman's Club). So, I'd love to hear from you - even better start a blog to share your knowledge and perspective with the town. You can also email me at kaitlin.mccallum@patch.com. Beliefs At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license to inject beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will cause us to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know. Politics Full disclosure - I'm a registered Democrat. Religion I believe that Jesus is Lord, that nothing happens by accident. Reach me at kaitlin.mccallum@patch.com or 860-276-7653.
