The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Apr. 17, 2010

Wallingford: Jason Zandri’s efforts to fund this year’s Fourth of July fireworks display show fine public spirit. We hope people respond and that he is successful.

Area: it seems that though sightings of some wild animals are up in number, the reports reflect an uptick in people’s concerns and worries more than they do any particular danger from any animal. Just as some of today’s urban youngsters are unable to recognize a tomato or a potato, the thought of a real bear or coyote finds us with scant notion of what to do about it. Basically, and unsurprisingly, start by keeping away.

Meriden: It’s an unpleasant dilemma for the Harte dealership: accept a buy-out from GM or take a bigger risk and fight the decision to disenfranchise. As tough a choice as that is, we can think of worse scenarios.

Meriden: The NRG-owned power plant site on Cathole Mountain is not quite yet in a position to move in where the Kleen project over in Middletown had a major disaster a couple of months ago. For an industry which deals in power generation, things move awfully slowly.
