The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Mar. 17, 2010

Wallingford: $O$ group formed to support school system and taking the long view about possible cuts. They’re facing a tough opponent, if he may so be termed, in Mayor Dickinson, who’s pretty wily when it comes to exerting himself in the name of economy and donning the Teflon suit against slings and arrows.

Meriden: Mayor Rohde has asked MEDCO to help with a new marketing campaign for the city. It seems like a sensible and forward-thinking idea and we hope it moves forward.
Wallingford Public Library’s teen photo editing contest, inspired by the recent Teen Tech Week activities and materials. It’s a good way to involve patrons in challenging activities.

Wallingford: it is a pity that the childish behavior of some student (or students) has forced the school administration to treat all Lyman Hall students as fractious infants. Signing in to use the toilets is a juvenile requirement to have to obey, and the sooner the miscreant fesses up to his or her misdeeds, the better for everyone else.

Southington: A narrow – 18-foot – road seems to be an obstacle to the sports complex planned for Smoron Road. Back to the drawing board, we guess, since any sort of high-use access road would just need more space to accommodate reasonably anticipated usage.

Meriden: It’s the little questions which seem to draw the heat. The senior center has suggested requesting the seniors who use the bus services to stores and other locations for voluntary contributions. The key word is voluntary – which in this case fits the bill. But even were it not, many seniors who can do so would cheerfully pay something for the convenience of being driven to a place they must go.
