The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Apr. 10, 2011

Seems as if residents in Prospect and other towns are interested in creating roadblocks to the wind turbine projects proposed, alleging that stronger regulations are needed. That could indeed be the case, but any interested party should take a look at a real wind farm with dozens of these towers spinning away and compare that with a nuclear, oil, gas, coal or hydroelectric plant.

Joint project between Cheshire and Meriden middle school students of a “walking tour” recording of places to visit in Hartford is an excellent project. Not only to kids learn facts and history, they also meet new people and learn to work together.

Labor is being wary of Connecticut Gov. Malloy, who has asked for $1 billion – but a Gov. Foley would not have stopped with a single billion, one suspects.

Apparently baseball, as noted by Little Leagues and Girls Softball Leagues in Meriden and Wallingford, is drawing fewer youngsters these days, though reasons are not completely clear. The up side of that is that those who do play should have less competition for the playing fields.
