The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Sept. 8, 2010

Cheshire: Probably, unhappy residents can go ahead and end the historic districts in town so that the colonial-era homes they live in can be altered to the contentment of the owners. But, as a member of the commission has pointed out, the district’s aim is certainly to preserve history as well has improve property values, so if it’s a matter of easing fees and simplifying process, that’s a better choice.

Meriden/Wallingford: increased requirements for high school graduation were intended, apparently, as part of the qualifying steps for “Race to the Top” funds, which didn’t work out. So perhaps the rule can be eased somewhat, in consideration of tough times.

Southington Youth Soccer’s decision to help the Food Pantry with urging parents and players to make timely donations at their opening games. And congratulations to the league on its 35th year.
