The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Oct. 1, 2010

Celebrate Wallingford is on this weekend, with lots to see and do. Don’t miss the fun of seeing what’s what in your local community.

The contract discussions continuing between Hartford Healthcare and Anthem are pretty typical, and, we predict, will be settled, since it is in everyone’s interest to do so. It is very difficult for patients, or anyone else, to properly assess the impact of various contingencies, particularly when one is in need of the services under discussion.

State: a new law with tougher rules on cell phone use by drivers takes effect today: no loophole for first-time offenders, and penalties are raised. The real question though is whether police will have the time to enforce this law or whether folks can continue to ignore it and endanger the public.

Cheshire: it’s an interesting notion to be able to switch back and forth between different fueling systems for heating public schools, but the costs of hook ups to gas lines are not insignificant. It’s an idea best worked into the original school planning.
