The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Nov.21, 2010

Southington: the irritation with the process and the progress on Mt. Vernon Road repaving is easy to understand, but it’s true that grants under federal programs, like state programs and like municipal funding, must meet standards other than merely do it quickly and come in on budget. Patience is about the only answer.

The empty seats on the Cheshire Town Council are pretty unusual, but there shouldn’t be too much trouble finding people to fill them. How many vacancies – just speculating – would be enough to justify, if possible, a special election?

The advice on assessing elderly parents and other relatives during Thanksgiving visits, as offered by experts at VNA and Masonicare in Wallingford is excellent. Of course, one of the touchy parts of such a process is that often enough those aging parents may not appreciate the scrutiny.
