The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Oct. 17, 2011

Meriden residents certainly hope that the investigations concerning police officers are completed and dealt with in an orderly and efficient way. While these investigations do come with a price tag, cost isn’t the only result of this process and it is far from the worst.

Congratulations to Meriden Hall of Fame’s class of 2011: Rhudean S. Raye, Matthew C. Dominello Sr., Rob Hyman and the late Francis Giuffrida. Residents will be glad to honor the new inductees either in person or by proxy.

The terminated investigation into two former commissioners of the Wallingford Housing Authority seems not to be as terminated as it might be. We hope someone comes up with a way to move this process along: perhaps a “truth and reconciliation” approach should be tried.

The Mattabessett Trail as it runs along the Beseck Trap Rock Ridge in Middlefield, overlooking Black Pond and a large section of Meriden has been a fine hike for many decades since the existing trail was laid out and cleared – and no doubt for many years before that when someone could figure out how to find their way through the woods to the summits.
