• Gas Prices In Haddam, East Haddam And Killingworth: How Local Pumps Compare To CT, U.S. (patch.com) — Drivers in Haddam can compare what they are paying at local Gulf, CITGO and Mobil stations with averages for Connecticut, New England and the nation, as regular gas here runs slightly below the state average.

• Some CT towns have a bumper crop of an important nut; others have 'crop failure.' Yes, scientists count them. (courant.com) — State scientists report that while many Connecticut towns enjoy a bumper crop of white oak acorns this year, Haddam is seeing a near crop failure for both white and red oaks. That shortfall could influence local wildlife movement, deer behavior, and even tick populations, underscoring broader concerns about long-term white oak regeneration across the region.
