The Editor's Notepod, Tues., June 30, 2009

State: Supreme Court decision in the firefighters' case will bear some analysis.

Meriden: A bravo to union members of Local 740 of the AFLCIO and Local 3430 of the AFSCME for deciding to allow the volunteers to go forward with the off-hours operation and maintenance of Falcon Field as volunteers offered to take on the responsibility. This is a sacrifice and is worthy of remembrance.

Southington: Prepayment plan for the Southington school system, allowing parents to pay for their kids' lunches on-line or by visiting the school could eliminate the business of collecting a whole lot simpler.

Wallingford: the town again seems to serve as the training ground for state service: Chief Douglas Dortenzio has been named to a term as president of the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association; in attaining this kind of distinction, he joins former school superintendent Dr. Joseph Cirasuolo who is now serving as executive director of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents.

Southington: Bread of Life will have a van on site at the weekly Music on the Green concerts this summer. It's a question of increasing need at the food pantry which has necessitated this increased presence, and we hope citizens will respond..
