The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Aug. 23, 2011

Mount Vernon Road, Southington, has been successfully relocated, a job funded and initiated by Lake Compounce Park to create six more acres for its water park. A reasonable request and one expeditiously completed.

Wallingford’s parking area behind Simpson Court, it turns out, is apparently better served by the proposed lease, now being challenged by referendum, than without, since it protects town interests in maintaining free public parking, at least if Town Attorney Janis Small is correct. It does seem that protecting public parking is a benefit worth spending money on.

Silver Petrucelli and Associates is the firm picked by Wallingford’s School Roof Building Committee to design 11 school roofs. Once the plan is complete, it will be time to select a construction firm.

Southington’s school book bag program which works through Community Services, now in its tenth year. Congrats to retiring students, now seniors, who have worked the program for four years, and to the new “Giving Back Girls” who are taking over this good work.

Wallingford students will see new textbooks, new syllabuses, new classes, all the results of hard work during the summer “vacation” by teachers and administrators setting them all up.
