The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Jan. 20, 2011

Meriden’s Board of Education has approved an addition to Hanover School in the hope of eventually housing all kindergarteners in the system there. City share of the construction is fairly minor, and it seems to be an accepted move by most of the community, so let’s go for it.

Through the magic of weather chance, it appears that Meriden, which at one point had over 11,000 CL&P customers without power during the recent icy storm, got the worst of it. Around 40 percent experienced an outage, which gave the city both a high percentage and a high absolute number; CL&Ps responses, however, had almost everyone back on line overnight.

Southington’s Board of Finance agreed to fund more cash for snow removal. Considering the snows we’ve had, there’s not really much choice in the matter.

Southington Planning and Zoning rejected an application for a 181-child daycare center near Ridgeview Village, a 55-an-older residential complex. One suspects the size, as well as the age, had something to do with the decision.
