The Editor's Notepod, Thurs., Oct. 14, 2010

Southington will erect netting to prevent foul balls from the baseball field at Recreation Park from escaping and landing on heads in the adjacent athletic fields. Good decision, and the sooner it can be done, the better.

The Wallingford Housing Authority members have made a visit to the Town Council, which has been likened to sending unruly students to the principal’s office. The simile is apt, but we are concerned that it may take more than this to straighten things out at the WHA.

The rescue of those 33 Chilean miners, trapped underground for 69 days, is one of the most exciting events of the year, surely. The patience, endurance and determination all around are an inspiration.

Choate Rosemary Hall’s decision to shut off student access to Facebook on the Wallingford prep school’s official network (though students may still access through their own smart phones). It’s a chance to focus on the need to be a community in a technological age.
