The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Aug. 20, 2011

Approval of that deal with state unions means that several of the most painful and controversial service cuts – notably, to Meriden’s courts, vo-tech sports and arts, termination of Connecticut River ferries, railroad service, DMV offices – are likely to be rescinded. These possibilities set choices, though, before state residents.

TWIST -- The Wallingford Invitational Soccer Tournament – set for this weekend, seems to be well-attended and eagerly awaited by a good number of teams. We applaud these teams and their coaches.

ARC of Southington is selling maps of tag sales scheduled in town for September 24. It’s become a fundraiser, and we hope a lot of these maps get sold and that a lot of people transfer their unwanted or unneeded items to those who do.

A protective vest for Meriden’s police dog, Anouke? Well, the police department has a considerable investment in this animal’s training and care, and it makes sense to try to be sure that no harm comes to this dog on the job.
