The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Feb. 28, 2010

Meriden: A fine update on the various problems with which the downtown area is faced. Some are more advanced in handling, some have far to go, and others remain sparkle in the eye.

Meriden: Anyone can understand why a judge who has to deal with five DUI-related cases before the morning is an hour into the court’s morning schedule might treat the audience to a piece of his mind without well considering it.

Meriden: the progress on the irrigation system at Hunter golf course seems to be on schedule. Let us hope it may continue to completion speedily.

Wallingford: extension of a hands-on educational program devised by Fire Chief Struble to youngsters in middle school, hoping to win some recruits to fire fighting as a career before pre-emptive decisions are made. It also helps to learn about fire safety for its own sake.

Southington: The town’s Emergency Medical Services Committee is looking at the response times of the company which has the ambulance service contract with the town. It would seem that the matter of simplifying the 911 calling process so that calls do not have to be transferred would be something which could also aid in preventing slow responses.
