The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Oct. 23, 2011

Wallingford’s North Farms Volunteer Fire Department’s 65th Anniversary was a chance for fire fighters to open their doors to the public and explain modern equipment. It was a moment, too, to reflect on how much this profession has changed in that time.

Members of the Lufbury family were on hand in Wallingford Saturday to commemorate the World War I pilot’s service by dedicating a portion of I-91 (the Wharton Brook Connector to Route 5) in his honor. This dedication process for Lufbury and others is a fine way to remember and honor people.

Southington Education Foundation is holding a silent auction which will, it is hoped, match a challenge grant from the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain. Money raised is used by the Foundation to supplement the town’s education budget for unfunded special projects.
