The Editor's Notepod, Thurs., Jan 29, 2009

Southington: going forward in the police budget with a third captain. Who knows if that’s really a good idea? There’s supposed to be a reorganization plan. Have we seen it?

Region: Interesting results of the snow storms, five so far, which have generated school closings and parking bans. Tickets are plentiful; so are concerns about running school into July.

Southington/Cheshire: Congratulations to all those honored at the 80th annual meeting, including lawmakers Zalaski and Aresimowicz, William Della Vecchia, Youth Services Award winners Theo Smigelski and Jon Crevier.

Meriden: It’s a little hard to see how the irrigation system replacement at the Hunter Course can be down graded without impairing what it needs to do. If individual sprinkler heads can be controlled, it makes sense to do so, unless someone thinks it’s a better plan to send a worker out to turn each one on and off every day.

Cheshire: It’s very nice that Milone and McBroom have completed a study of the artificial turf. But they install the stuff, yes? I hope the DEP gets its study done pronto, but it seems to be still “planning” its work.

Meriden: Residents need to see a picture of the planned divisions and land-use of the NRG site.

Southington: The committee considering the future of the public library is a useful tool for determining how to move forward with this institution.
