The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Aug. 26, 2011

Finalists are selected for Meriden’s High School project. It will be a big job and this choice is important.

That new parking lot for the Southington Public Library is moving slowly, and it has taken a long time to get this project underway, but at last is indeed happening. Director Sue Smayda will be happy, but patrons will be happier.

There’s something which hasn’t been revealed yet in the amazing story of the state employee who received a minor reprimand and was then refused work, but paid, for six more years. No one should begin using the event as a moral tale until all facts are on the table.

The report on fraud committed by 9/11 charities is appalling, of course, but these instances should not blind Americans to the good works which the majority of charities have carried out or accomplished in the wake of that attack – and of so many other disasters of all sorts and sizes.

Many people will welcome the arrival of Big Y at the Townline Square site formerly occupied by Shop Rite. And of course there are 150 jobs added to the Meriden market.

Meriden police have switched to a new digital radio system. And just in time, too,
as hurricane Irene barrels up the coast towards us with a clutch of emergency needs.
