The Editor's Notepod, Wed., June 16, 2010

Wallingford: the Quinnipiac River Linear Trail of course will need maintenance from time to time. If a “Friends” group can be established, that would be great, but one would expect the town to supervise that task, just as happens at a park or any other public facility, a fairly minor account in keeping the amenities of a modern town up to date.

The prospect of the end of Project Discover in Southington, as parents visit to see the final display for the school year. It’s a shame that the Gifted and Talented Program in Southington and everywhere else is so easy to cut to meet a budget.

The Wadsworth Family Foundation’s decision to match 50 percent of donations to the Meriden-Wallingford Summer Campership Fund, beginning today, up to $5,000. With a boost like this, we are all reminded that there’s a way to go yet to reach this year’s goal and send those kids to summer camp.

Volunteers are needed for Thursday’s Project Graduation Party in Meriden. It’s a great idea and we hope those volunteers will step forward.

Wallingford: we hope the second time around the agreement between the school system and cafeteria workers has less difficulty winning approval from the Town Council. Sending the matter off to arbitration is hardly guaranteed to save any money.

Southington-Cheshire: it sounds as if it might be a tough race in the primary election for the GOP nomination for Probate Judge. It’s a hard year, since the two former districts have been combined.
