The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Mar. 18, 2010

Southington: retirement best wishes go to Gaston, who has spent nine years as a canine member of the police force. At 11 years, this hard-working officer, with 100 arrest assists to his credit, is resting at home, a status he has certainly earned.

Meriden: single stream recycling is on the way. Logistically and economically, it’s cheaper to have the sorting done by new machinery than to try and do it all during the collection process. The city needs to institute a major push to increase the recycling efforts by residents.

Meriden: the city’s commercial billboard operation is getting underway. CBS Outdoor will build on the site near the Animal Shelter and the terms appear favorable. Advertising policies would appear to rule out the sort of offensive material which has worried some folks.

Wallingford: the Town Council has turned down a measure which would have legislated methods of dealing with dog attacks. Since the authority exists already, a new rule would add essentially very little, and could actually complicate matters.
