The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Oct. 4, 2010

What could be wrong with a portable ice rink on Meriden’s Hub site? It would add to the uses of the area, following up on some successes earlier this year, and a rink could actually be purchased for under $10,000, of which about half has already been donated.

A state senator from a prison-rich area – not local – is urging a purge of prison libraries to ban graphically violent volumes. While one cringes at the thought of prisoners reading novels and non-fiction accounts of horrendous crimes in hopes of becoming better criminals, the notion is more fanciful than real.

It seems that folks had a great time at the festivals this week end: Celebrate Wallingford and Southington’s Apple Harvest Festival. While there was rain Friday, Saturday’s weather couldn’t have been lovelier, and Sunday, though a little chilly, was pretty fine also.
