Lieberman (D)Y 1 AVIATION SECURITY Senators passed, 100-0, an aviation security bill that makes passenger screening a function of the federal workforce. 1 here in what is the center village of Canaan," Fred Hall, the town's municipal historian, said in 1997. "There were two or three homes, but practically nothing that would identify the center of the village." And while there are dozens of attractive railroad stations across Connecticut, few display the Victorian grandeur of the union station.

It was built by the original Housatonic Railroad Co. and the Connecticut Western Railroad. Each line occupied a two-story wing. Where the two wings met, a three-story tower provided a view down each line. That tower is heavily charred, but appears to have survived the fire for now.

North Canaan Fire Marshal John Foley said that although they know the fire started in the southeast corner of the restaurant, they do not know how. The investigation could take several weeks, he said. CONTINUED FROM PAGE Bl the work firefighters did. "I'm in shock they were able to save any of it," he said. Years ago oil was poured onto the floor boards to preserve them.

Ramunni said that because of the building's age, he didn't expect to see much left of the station. State police Sgt. Scott Llewellyn said insulation used during the 1960s and early 1970s also fueled the fire. "The thing that really fed this fire was the sprayed on insulating material," said Llewellyn, who oversaw state fire investigators at the scene Saturday. North Canaan has always considered itself a railroad town, largely because it developed after the railroad arrived.

"Until the railroad came through, there was very little adds U.S. marshals to more flights and permits pilots to carry cjuns, all funded by a $2.50 ticket fee. A yes vote was to pass 1447. 2 AIRLINE EMPLOYEES Senators failed, 56-44, to reach a supermajority needed to expand 1447 (above) to include aid for.some 140,000 airline employees losing jobs since Sept. 11.

The package consisted of health insurance, extra weeks of unemployment benefits, job retraining and other income support. A yes vote backed the aid. 3 RESPONSE TO TERRORISM Senators passed, 96-1, a bill enlarging the power of intelligence agencies and law enforcement to conduct surveillance on terrorist suspects and certain other individuals. A yes vote backed a bill that civil libertarians called dangerous. (S 1510) 3 PRIVACY ISSUE Senators voted, 89-8, to kill an amendment to keep 1510 (above) from overriding federal or state laws that protect data such as library records and one's personal medical or financial information.

A yes vote was to table, or kill, the amendment. Key: Yea Nay A Absent or did not vote Present December 2-7, 2001.

After a consultant painstakingly studied the situation, the answer was a science center. This was good. East Hartford was the wrong location from day one.

At Adriaen's Landing, the center becomes part of a downtown museum district that can draw real crowds. Also, the Capitol City Economic Development Authority has wisely brought Johnson over as a consultant to design and develop the new center. So for the moment, everything's jakeloo. The only thing that can go wrong is letting West Hartford close too soon, which would leave area children without this wonderful introduction to the physical sciences. That would be bad.

With in-house and outreach programs, the science center reaches some 200,000 young people a year. It hosts birthday parties, sleep-overs, Scouts programs, etc. Also, closing the old place too soon would dissipate the base of support for the new one. Years ago I remember hearing a radio personality in Baltimore, Rockin' Robin, the Big Bird on WCID, as I recall. His mantra: "You got to keep what you got until you get what you want, because in getting what you want you may lose what you have.

So if your heart can take it, come fly with me." The Bird had the word. Those of us who've taken our kids to the science center over the years need to keep it going until the new one is ready.
