The exercise will be held July 28, 29, 30 and 31, with each town participating two of those days. “Basically towns will be asked to assem- ble an emergency operations center and respond to a hurri- cane scenario,” said May. “It’s kind of groundbreaking.” Towns will not be graded following the exercise, which is intended to help municipalities recog- nize areas of strength and weakness in emergency prepared- ness and response. “It will make a big town or a little town have to identify who will be [participating] in responding to a hur- ricane scenario on the first day of the exer- cise, and then the next day will be aftermath response.” Emergency response equipment like backup radio sys- tems will be tested during the exercise, to ensure that every- thing works – and if not, find where the glitches are before the equipment is actually necessary. Preparedness issues often take a back burner to topic of moment, said May, who noted he was pleased that this will move the topic to the forefront. “As emergency man- agement director in my own town of Pomfret, I think it will be good to get to go to town leaders, and pub- lic works, fire and EMS personnel and bring them all into it to say ‘come and play for a few hours, and we’ll talk this through,’” he said. Like the Boy Scouts of America, May is hopeful that individu- als and municipalities will “Be Prepared” in the event of a future storm.

2012 Mini Cooper Roadster Has Slightly More Minuses than Plusses Going for It

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

It’s really tough to spend a few days with a car, decide you hate it, and then discover you actually kind of like it. That was my experience with the 2012 Mini Cooper Roadster convertible. Frankly, it’s an ugly little vehicle, until you drop the top and then it’s stunning in the Mini Cooper way.Don’t get me wrong. I actually like the Mini Cooper look but in the four-seat config- uration only.The coupe and the wagon are not that appealing to my eye. Drop the cloth top and it’s a different story – until it’s time to raise the top. It’s manual. It’s probably easy if your limberness wasn’t becoming a faded memory but I don’t like the thought of paying $27,350, before delivery and options, and having a manual roof. I’m just cheap and lazy that way. One thing Mini does get credit for, though, is having a roadster that does- n’t suffer for trunk space once the top is lowered. The top folds down behind the seats and not into the trunk, which has a decent 8.3 cubic feet of space. You’re going to have more than enough room for the needs of two passengers, even on a long road trip. OK, so once I overcame my nitpick- ing about the manual roof but enjoying the usable trunk space, I spent a great The 2012 Mini Cooper Roadster is a stunning vehicle with the top down – not so much with it up. day driving with the top down on an overcast day.
