What we are working on: May 18

Here’s what’s on our news budget for today’s website and tomorrow’s paper.

Hard to imagine a story more compelling than someone getting trapped by their car’s hood while trying to free three cats hiding out in the engine block*, but we’ll try. Also on tap is a story about former throughbred great Smarty Jones, more on the Hummert trial and coverage of high school track and field championships.

Let us know what’s up where you are.
