Wallingford Corporation Counsel Adam Mantzaris is retiring after a good many years in the job and of working for the town. Best wishes to him as he turns a new page.
Running a housing authority is not rocket science, but Wallingford’s efforts have been beset by so many bumps in the road it boggles the mind. We hope issues can be straightened out soon.

Spontaneous support received by music writer Melissa Lorenzo when she suggested help cleaning Habershon Field in South Meriden. This sort of community support is heartfelt.
