Editorial:
Earth Day - It's Encouraging that We Finally Recognize a Problem...Arbor Day, celebrated in America on the last Friday in April, and Earth Day, which occurs April 22 worldwide, seem to have much in common - most people like trees and, presumably, most people like the Earth. When it comes to greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, trees really suck it
up.

Government
Reform Thought: A regional approach needs to be taken with regard to recreation programs offered in
Union County. Most towns have recreation commissions that sponsor many of the same
types of programs, often utilizing the services of private companies such as yoga
centers and soccer camps. Couldn't these programs be merged under a newly created
Union County Parks Commission run independently by volunteers appointed by county
and municipal governments? In addition to volunteers, full-time staff could be hired
that represent all 21 towns in the county with no duplication of services. This
would save millions of taxpayer dollars. See
Year-to-date Reform Thoughts.
