The Editor's Notepod, Fri.,Oct. 21, 2011

The ability of inserting microchips into dogs and cats – and other domestic animals, we’d suppose, cows, chickens and so on – was useful in identifying a dog lost by Naugatuck residents and found living with a Cheshire police officer. This technology instantly asks the question: if useful on animals, why not people, especially children, who have a tendency to become lost or runaway, and husbands, who need to be found occasionally?

Voters should be aware of the unusual situation in Southington that residents may vote on the middle school proposal without being registered to vote and without voting on the general election ballot (where those voting for local offices may also vote on the school question) by going to Derynoski School on election day to cast this particular ballot only.

We are happy to see progress on the second portion of Meriden’s linear trail, from Red Bridge to Platt and to see planning underway and priorities developing for remaining trails in the city. As planners said, it helps the grant process if some sorts of goals are articulated.
