The Editor's Notepod, Thurs., Jan 22, 2009

Wallingford/Meriden: the owl found in a leg hold trap. I’d forgotten about these things. It’s hard to believe they’re still being used. Glad it wasn’t someone’s child. Can’t we ban them?

Southington: Weichsel’s possible retirement being suggested, even though he doesn’t care to discuss it much. If he’s in his mid-70s and has done the job for 43 years, one would think he’d at least consider the idea.

Meriden: Those rescued cats have been released for adoption. I hope people do step forward, now, and accept them without delay. It’s a big expense for the shelter.

Meriden: arrests made on the Berlin Turnpike in a prostitution ring. No one likes prostitution, but, given history, there will always be a demand for it.

Wallingford/Cheshire: the new generating equipment for a Waterbury power plant has been moving through the area. Would that it were moving to the plant on Cat Hole Mountain, as originally planned — which was an event of equal planning and care when equipment was brought in up there.

Wallingford: People should appreciate good neighbors like the Hernandezes who rescue feral cats and help them survive. All the same, there could be some work done to provide more neutering services for cats, so the incidence is reduced.
