The Editor's Notepod, Mon., May 2, 2011

“Let the Sun Shine, It’s Apple Time” is the motto for this year’s Southington Apple Harvest Festival. The name should give participants much to play with as they plan fun for the event.

Funny that the gas tax increase will be dropped. It’s a tiny amount out of $4 gas, but it seems to rub Connecticut folks the wrong way.

Congratulations to teacher Lori Farkash, of Moses Y. Beach School in Wallingford. She has been named as a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.

Another death following use of a Taser by police (this time in Waterbury) will no doubt raise the issue of the safety of this weapon once again. That’s okay: it is good to continue to examine what’s in use.

Wallingford is seeing the growth and solidification of a tenant council for the Housing Authority. This is a positive move and should be heralded by all.
