Our sympathy to Melissa Goduti of Wallingford, who won a Mediterranean cruise from her employers and wound up shivering on a small island off Tuscany waiting to come home after the ship gouged a hole in her bottom and heeled over to about 80 degrees. Is it a function of our vastly shrunk world that so many times there’s a major event elsewhere in the world there’s a local connection?

Members of Meriden's Silver City Cadet Squadron, 13 youths from 12 to 21, were out participating in a search and rescue mission in Hurd State Park yesterday morning. It wasn’t a real mission, but it was a function of the Civil Air Patrol to help young people train for real emergencies – such as Hurricane Irene.
Former City Councilor David Salafia is now serving as family-schools liaison for Meriden schools, dealing with attendance and truancy issues. It sounds as if this would be a good role for this popular citizen.
