The Editor's Notepod, Tues., May 10, 2011

Southington Council fails to add piddling amounts for skate park and bathroom repair. These really minor expense somehow became controversial in a partisan sense.

Wallingford’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved shelter expansion plans to house families with children. This increase, regarded appropriately as a philanthropic use by the planning staff, will allow the shelter to move toward a highly desirable goal for its facility.

The films to be shown at the Drive-in this summer in Southington (beginning June 18) include “Back to the Future 2,” “The Karate Kid,” “American Graffiti,” “Grease,” “Finding Nemo” and “Ghostbusters.” It’s interesting just what features the copyright owners permit to be shown and which they restrict.

The Norwalk mother arrested for sending her child to Norwalk schools – the only person so arrested out of a couple of dozen similar cases in that town – is asking, through her lawyer, to have the chance to work out the issue administratively with the schools, as everyone else has done. She should receive this opportunity.

Problems with Cheshire High School’s air continue. This really needs to be fixed.
