The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Nov. 14, 2011

Today Wallingford votes on that parking lot referendum. It will be interesting to see, beyond results, just how many voters turn out for the event.

Two very contrasting success stories today, one about the support Police Lt. Sal Nesci of the Meriden force, who underwent tumor removal last summer, the other about new Southington Board of Education member Terry Lombardi who fled Castro’s Cuba as a girl. If you need inspiration for a Monday morning, here is the place for it.

It would seem sensible, all things storm-wise considered, to suspend enforcement of Connecticut’s arborist law, requiring only licensed arborists to trim or remove trees, but if the state wants to permanently end this law, it should be repealed, not suspended.

The DeDominicis property – 180 peaceful acres – is certainly an asset of which Cheshire can be proud. It is good to continue purchases of open land so that future generations can continue to be in direct contact with the natural world.

To celebrate American Education Week, Wallingford Education Foundation is asking graduates of that school system to send in remembrances of their favorite teachers. Submissions will be collected and posted on the school district website through Friday.
