The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Mar. 20, 2010

Meriden: It’s good to have Councilor Brian Daniels at work on the downtown plans, and he is certainly correct about getting everyone on the same page. And it rather looks as if they are on different pages, too, since the housing authority, having been turned down on Hope grants to tear down the high rises, now is thinking about gutting them and turning them over to the private market – which wasn’t part of the transit hub plan.

Cheshire/Wallingford and doubtless everywhere else: Presentation by group hoping to reduce misuse of steroids offers insights into what drives this product. By all accounts, the less someone uses steroids, the better: look at the side effects!

Berlin: the firing of a cook over violation of policy on food purchase poses an interesting situation. It sounds as if the decision to break the rules was quite deliberate, but the rules are arbitrary enough to look as if they were established to be challenged.

Area: birds of prey. It sounds as if sporadic reports of bird attacks are vastly exaggerated. Clearly, nobody should mess with hawks and their kin, but they’re in more danger from us than we from them.
