The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Dec. 11, 2010

Bond Commission approved cash for uncovering Harbor Brook at the Hub in Meriden as well as for bridges in Wallingford and Southington and new rolling stock for Shoreline East and buses for the Vo-Tech schools. Of course, we’ll all have to pay for them.

When Lisa Sinclair’s 6th grade classes at Meriden’s Washington Middle School did not know who Adolph Hitler was, she changed courses and invited Bernie Frydenberg, a Holocaust survivor who lives in the city, to come and speak, an excellent signal of school-room flexibility. One can’t help noting that the days in which there will be people around who can relate first hand memories of that horror are becoming numbered.

The DOT will store sediment removed from Harbor Brook near the Cook Avenue bridge in Meriden on a lot at the corner of Miller and Center Streets. Seems like a good place for a time until all can be tested, though if anything dangerous emerges (and there’s no sign it will) further precautions would be needed.
