The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Sept. 30, 2009

Meriden: The Gift of Lester Dequaine to the Arts & Crafts Association and Gallery 53 is a significant donation which should go a long way to help secure the organization’s future.

Wallingford: A pressure reducing station on Tower Drive near the Parks and Rec. HQ. Since the drawdown by the recently-opened Lowe’s has evidently caused the pressure problems, the store will bear the cost, just as its competitor did in a similar situation.

Cheshire: incredibly, one of the defendants in the home invasion murder case has been permitted to write letters to an author, who has now assembled a book. While the statements, both inculpatory and exculpatory, might be of interest to a social historian or a legal study of the case, and while they may make little difference to the progress of the case, it is repugnant to decency for such a work to appear before the trial. It is, naturally, entirely self-serving by definition: how could it be anything else. It also appeals to a prurient interest in the violence of the horrible crime.
