The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Oct. 5, 2011

A TV series feting the “glory days” of international flights featuring Pan Am? What can ABC be thinking? Sympathy for the Coyles of Wallingford and for other families of those killed in flight 103 back in 1988.

Local folks from Southington and Meriden are among those involved in the Occupy Wall Street protests. We look forward to seeing whether there will be any response to this expression of anger and distress.

Members of Wallingford’s Lyman Hall High School chapter of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America “won silver” at the organization’s national competition. Many congratulations.

Connecticut’s new Board of Regents got underway with a statement by its chairman describing a sense of urgency to prepare students to compete in a world where adaptability, problem solving, strong communication skills and curiosity are critical. There’s a lot to be done.

Rapid Bioassessment in Wadeable Streams & Rivers by Volunteer Monitors is a long name for checking the water quality of the Quinnipiac, assisted with a grant from the 3M Company. This seems an interesting and worthwhile task.

Hard work has produced new recruits for Southington’s Volunteer Fire Companies. Nine new people will make a big difference.
