The Editor's Notepod, Sunday, November 16, 2008

Region: increasing numbers of kids seeking reduced-price lunch at schools. In Meriden it has been 86% for the last two years. A curiosity of the system that every cafeteria is expected to pay for itself.

Meriden: Springfield College students on a project to help city homeless, beginning with helping to provide holiday support at the shelter.

Cheshire: moratorium coming up for library fines. I’ve seen this made when people come and offer non-perishables in lieu of fines, but Cheshire thinks this is illegal. I certainly hope not, because it’s a good and helpful idea. And a library hardly lives on its fines.
