The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Oct. 2, 2011

Lots of food and lots of attractions drew crowds into downtown Saturday afternoon to begin the Celebrate Wallingford festival. It’s one of the town’s most popular events.

Cigarettes cost more and more in Connecticut as the taxes continue to rise. Those addicted, many of whom suffer from serious stress compounded by the stress of affording smokes, are resorting to dangerous exigencies to find tobacco. Our approach to smoking leaves something to be desired.

Southington’s Apple Harvest got off to a good start Saturday, although rain postponed fireworks to next weekend. This is an event which draws folks from all around, especially for those famous apple fritters.

Wayne Barneschi’s Trail of Terror opened up Saturday night in Wallingford and will continue every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening through Halloween. Remember, this is a huge fund-raiser for charities as well as a fun hair-raiser.

MidState Medical Group received recognition from the federal government a month ago for showing how primary care doctors use electronic records, follow-up with patients and offer preventive care. This group has offices in Meriden, Wallingford, Cheshire, and Southington and these records are the wave of the future.

Jurglewicz open space parcel, Southington, offers an opportunity for wildlife and for folk to stroll. It can be a little hard to find but is well worth the effort.
